Diontae Johnson Now A Starter

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Diontae Johnson confirmed that he's now a starter alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster. It means that he'll be in on three-receiver sets moving forward with Smith-Schuster and James Washington. Donte Moncrief has ruined his chance by dropping a plethora of passes in the first two weeks. Johnson has caught four of his […]

Buccaneers Defense Rules Out Devin White

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (knee) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Giants. Even though White is just a rookie, he's one of the most influential players on the Bucs defense, so his loss this weekend is notable. Tampa's D is intriguing as a streaming […]

Marlon Mack Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Mack could still be listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Falcons, but his return to practice puts him on the right track to suit up this Sunday. He's had the most rushing attempts […]

Colts Defense Won't Have Darius Leonard In Week 3

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) and defensive end Jabaal Sheard (knee) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Falcons by head coach Frank Reich. Leonard had an outstanding rookie season in 2018 and is one of the top IDP options at linebacker every week. You'll have to go in another direction now […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag - Week 3

This article's content may vary week-to-week, but generally, it will be answering questions fielded from either the @RotoBallerNFL twitter account or my personal one (@RotoSurgeon). This week, the focus is on start/sit questions, and there were plenty. Every week, many of us struggle with which quarterback to start, or who to flex, and I am […]

Bench Cameron Brate This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate had a couple near misses Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. He could've finished with a decent day but unfortunately had two touchdown passes on the same drive called back due to penalties. Both Brate and O.J. Howard have struggled mightily the first two games of the […]

Jimmy Graham Expected To Play

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin) "looked good" in practice on Friday, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Graham could be questionable on the final Week 3 injury report, but it sounds like he will be available in Week 3 against the Broncos. Even if Graham suits up, there's not a whole lot […]

Andy Dalton, Bengals Running Game Could Be In Trouble

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Bills, while backup left tackle Andre Smith (groin) and left guard Michael Jordan (knee) are both questionable to play. Cincy's offensive line was already shaky to begin with, and now they might be without their top two blind-side protectors […]

Titans Not Looking To Bench Marcus Mariota

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said the team isn't looking at a quarterback change from Marcus Mariota to backup Ryan Tannehill right now. Mariota came into the 2019 needing to prove more after being the second overall pick in 2015. He has failed to do that, going 56-for-92 (career-low 60.9 completion percentage) for 706 […]

Rashard Higgins, Browns Corners Questionable Against Rams

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) and cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) are all questionable to face the Rams on Sunday night in Week 3. Higgins also sat out in Week 2 and isn't a fantasy option even if he suits up. Damion Ratley and Taywan Taylor will split No. 3 […]

Cody Latimer Out, Bennie Fowler Questionable

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Buccaneers, while wideout Bennie Fowler (hamstring) is listed as questionable. New York's receiving corps continues to limp to action, but the good news is that Sterling Shepard (concussion) returned to a full practice Thursday and is on track […]

Tyler Kroft Ruled Out For Week 3

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle), who injured his ankle in practice on Thursday, will not play in Week 3 against the Bengals. However, a source said his low ankle sprain gives him a chance to make his season debut in Week 4. With rookies Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney splitting work at tight […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Draws Favorable Home Matchup

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will seek his second straight strong performance in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Garoppolo struggled mightily in the season opener but bounced back brilliantly in Week 2, tossing three touchdowns and passing for 296 yards en route to a 41-17 blowout victory. The Steelers pass defense has been […]

Jimmy Graham Returns To Practice, Has Chance To Play

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin) returned to practice on Friday and has a chance to play in Week 3 against the Broncos after not practicing earlier this week. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Graham's injury isn't a long-term issue, but there was some concern over his status this week. Expect him […]

Tevin Coleman Out Of Walking Boot

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (foot) no longer has the walking boot on his left foot and was doing light rehab work with the team's strength and conditioning staff on Thursday. Coleman is out again in Week 3 against the Bengals, and it's unknown when the 49ers expect him back. In Week 2 […]

George Kittle's Floor Still Safe Despite Sharing Targets

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has yet to break out in 2019 but is still a surefire TE1 in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite just 108 receiving yards and no touchdowns, Kittle still leads all Niners skill players in snaps through two games. The Steelers surrender nearly nine yards per pass […]

Devin Singletary, Tyler Kroft Not Practicing Friday

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) and tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) both missed practice on Friday. Singletary hasn't practiced all week and appears doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Bengals. If he sits, veteran Frank Gore will be the primary back and will have RB2 upside in a good matchup. […]

Marquise Brown Misses Practice Friday

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) did not practice on Friday. The Ravens have been holding Hollywood Brown out on Fridays as a precaution, so you shouldn't be worried about him missing Week 3's showdown with the Chiefs. In a game that should feature plenty of passing and scoring, Brown makes for a […]

DeSean Jackson Ruled Out For Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Lions. The Eagles have a short week in Week 4 on Thursday, so there's a good chance that D-Jax misses the next two games. It means that Nelson Agholor has become fantasy relevant again, even if Alshon Jeffery (calf) […]

Eagles Holding Out Hope For Alshon Jeffery, Dallas Goedert

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is holding out hope that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) and tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) can play in Week 3 against the Lions. Jeffery hasn't practiced all week, and both players look doubtful to suit up on Sunday, so you should make plans to be without them. DeSean […]

Fantasy Basketball Division Preview Series: Pacific

Welcome to the first of six articles in our division preview series for the 2019-2020 NBA season. I'll be breaking down each team in the NBA and answering some key questions about those teams that will affect the fantasy value of the players on those teams. We'll be starting with the most exciting division in […]

Domingo German Will Not Pitch Again This Season

New York Yankees starter Domingo German will not pitch again this season after being placed on administrative leave on Thursday due to a violation of Major League Baseball's domestic-violence policy. The 27-year-old will wrap up his 2019 campaign with a record of 18-4 while producing a 4.03 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 153 strikeouts over the course […]

Federated Auto Parts 400: DFS NASCAR Lineup Sleepers And Drivers To Avoid

I'm coming off of a huge week in DFS after winning my first two tournaments using my FREE driver picks from last week's race preview. Took down the 6K Hot Rod tournament tonight on DK using my four driver picks in this week’s DFS Preview!!! If you’re not using my ”FREE” NASCAR driver picks each […]

Browns Defense Not a Strong Option in Week 3

The Cleveland Browns Defense will welcome the Los Angeles Rams to First Energy Stadium on Sunday night. Cleveland's defense is off to a solid start, ranking third in the league with eight sacks through two games. Despite the excellent start, Cleveland's defense will not be a recommended option against a Los Angeles Rams offense that […]

Demetrius Harris Set for Increased Role

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris should see an uptick in playing time with David Njoku (concussion, wrist) out for the foreseeable future. Njoku was concussed and fractured his wrist when he took a huge hit during Monday night's win over the New York Jets. Harris is expected to play starter's snaps in Njoku's place, […]

Week 3 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 2 in DFS again proved to be a somewhat surprising weekend of scoring. The leaderboard was littered with players that we are not accustomed to seeing atop the rankings. Proving that you do not have to play the top half of the board while filling out your lineups each week. Hitting on the low-cost […]

Demaryius Thomas Not Practicing Again Friday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (knee, hamstring) will not practice again Friday, making him unlikely to suit up Sunday in New England. Thomas made only one catch Monday night against the Browns before departing with an injury and has not practiced yet this week. The Jets have their bye next week, so it […]

Jarvis Landry a Shaky Option in Week 3

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is not off to a very impressive start this season. The veteran slot receiver has just seven catches for 99 yards on 14 targets through two games. Landry is clearly behind friend and teammate Odell Beckham Jr in the target pecking order in this iteration of the Cleveland offense, […]

Josh Bellamy Could Be Third Receiver Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Bellamy could see an expanded role this Sunday at the Patriots. Bellamy played only six snaps in Week 1 but upped that number to 45 snaps this past Monday against Cleveland and could be in line for more work this week with Demaryius Thomas (hamstring/knee) unlikely to play this […]

Jets Defense Should Not Be Started This Week

The New York Jets Defense faces one of the toughest matchups the NFL has to offer this Sunday, a road game in New England. Through two weeks the Patriots offense has scored 76 points, the second-most in the league. Additionally, the Jets could be without star middle linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and starting defensive lineman […]
