Ryan Strome Bags A Pair Of Goals In Thursday's Win

New York Rangers forward Ryan Strome scored his first two goals of the season in Thursday's 6-2 win over Buffalo. Tony DeAngelo celebrated his 24th birthday with a goal and assist, while Artemi Panarin, Brett Howden and Chris Kreider all scored as well for the Rangers in the big win. Strome might have been goalless […]

Pekka Rinne Posts First Shutout Of The Season

Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne posted his first shutout of the season on Thursday, keeping Minnesota at bay in a 4-0 win. The veteran goalie picked up 26 saves on his way to improving his record for the season to 6-0-1. Miikka Salomaki, Calle Jarnkrok, Craig Smith and Colton Sissons scored in the contest. Rinne […]

Jeff Carter Scores His Second Goal Of The Season

Los Angeles Kings center Jeff Carter, who had a horrible first couple of weeks of the season, is slowly starting to show signs of life. The two-time Stanley Cup champion has three points across the last three games after scoring in Thursday's loss to St. Louis. Alex Iafallo also found the net for the Kings. […]

Brayden Schenn Scores Twice In Blues Win

St. Louis Blues center Brayden Schenn scored two goals -- one on a power play -- in Thursday's 5-2 win against the Kings. Jaden Schwartz and Colton Parayko both had two assists in the game that saw the Blues come from behind twice. Vince Dunn and Alex Pietrangelo also scored with the man advantage, while […]

NCAA Prospects To Watch: Week 9

Mock draft season is heating up with some big-name outlets making major changes to their boards – Joe Burrow vaulting into the top spot for some. While there is still time for even more changes, it makes for an exciting time to watch some of these guys rising up boards in order to see if […]

Dougie Hamilton Scores Again Thursday Night

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Dougie Hamilton continued his good run of form on Thursday, scoring his sixth goal of the season in a 4-3 overtime loss to Columbus. Hamilton is the first blueliner in the league to produce six-plus goals in the month of October since Sheldon Souray in 2006-07. He's also only the second defenseman […]

Cam Atkinson Delivers Overtime Winner On Thursday

Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Cam Atkinson scored in overtime on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes in a 4-3 win. The Jackets took an early lead through an Alexandre Texier goal but found themselves trailing 3-1 ahead of the second period. Goals from Ryan Murray, who also had an assist, and Sonny Milano took the […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 8 (10/27/19)

Somehow four touchdowns by Marvin Jones wasn't enough for the Lions to take a win against the Vikings, but nonetheless, it was a very profitable week. On a separate note, man, are the New England Patriots an absolute wagon, and something tells me you won't have to go long before seeing me target them in […]

Trae Young Goes Off Against Pistons On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young did his work on Thursday in the 17-point win over the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons had no answer for the young gun as he recorded 38 points on 11 of 21 shooting from the floor, 6-for-10 shooting from three and he also connected on 10 of 12 at the line. […]

John Collins Converts A Double-Double In Win

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins recorded 18 points to go along with 10 rebounds across 30 minutes in the 117-100 win over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. Collins connected on 8-for-15 shooting from the floor and added solid supporting numbers with two steals, a block and a make from three. Collins logged a handful […]

Alex Len Struggles In Start On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len struggled to get things going on Thursday as he managed just four points across 24 minutes in the 17-point win over the Pistons. Len made just one of five shots from the floor but did salvage his line with six boards, two steals, and a block. We need to mention […]

Andre Drummond Stuffs The Box Score Once Again

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond kept the statisticians busy once again as he followed up his monster opening-night line with another one on Thursday. Drummond recorded 21 points with 12 boards to go with two assists, four steals and a block in 37 minutes of action. Drummond has been a monster to start the season […]

Derrick Rose Keeps It Going With 27 Points

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose kept his hot start to the season alive on Thursday as he racked up 27 points in the 17-point loss to the Hawks. Rose was efficient as he made 11 of 16 shots from the floor and handed out three assists with three turnovers in just 25 minutes of action. […]

Trey Quinn Hits Rock Bottom Against Vikings

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn caught one pass for 15 yards on Thursday night, and that's about the size of it. Every downfield pass-catcher on this team not named Terry McLaurin has routinely been the victim of an absolutely hapless offense with no visible hope of turning things around. Quinn has been a total […]

Jeremy Sprinkle Goes For 12 Yards Against Minnesota

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Thursday's loss to the Vikings. It is actually becoming impressive just how incompetent this offense is in almost every facet of the game. The idea that any team in the entire league could struggle to even remotely involve multiple players […]

Paul Richardson Remains A Non-Factor

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson caught three passes for 34 yards on Thursday night against the Vikings. This is sadly a step in the right direction after he was held without a catch in each of his previous two outings. Not that Richardson should be anywhere near your fantasy roster in the first place, […]

Adrian Peterson The Lone Bright Spot For Redskins

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 14 times for 76 yards against Minnesota on Thursday night. He also caught two passes for 27 yards. This would have amounted to a solid fantasy day if he capped it off with a touchdown, but his team was held out of the endzone entirely for […]

Wendell Smallwood Invisible In Week 8

Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood logged 20 total yards on three touches in Thursday night's loss to the Vikings. Adrian Peterson's status wasn't officially known until right before game time when he was declared active, at which point Smallwood's outlook for the Thursday contest grew bleak. Despite Chris Thompson also battling an injury in […]

Terry McLaurin Held In Check On Thursday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four of six targets for 39 yards on Thursday night. All three stats led the team, which says a lot about how bad the Redskins offense is. McLaurin's future fantasy value takes a hit if Case Keenum (concussion) can't get back on the field right away, and his […]

Dwayne Haskins Picked Off In Scoreless Relief Effort

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins took the helm when Case Keenum went down with a concussion on Thursday night. He didn't get to do much, attempting just five passes. Unfortunately, one of those was intercepted deep in Minnesota territory in what was a one-score game at the time. With an extra few days until their […]

Case Keenum The Starter When Healthy

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that quarterback Case Keenum (concussion) will be the starter in Week 9 against the Bills if he's healthy. If he can't get cleared from the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury Thursday night, rookie Dwayne Haskins would get the start. The good news is that […]

Vikings Defense Has Productive Week 8 In Victory

The Vikings Defense registered four sacks, one interception and a fumble recovery in Week 8's 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins. The Vikings were able to hold the 'Skins to 216 total yards and 163 passing yards, with rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins passing for just 33 yards in the entire second half after Case Keenum […]

Eric Gordon Has A Night To Forget

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon will want to forget Thursday night's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks as soon as possible. Gordon scored 11 points in 28 minutes of action and it was not pretty. He shot 4-for-19 from the field and only hit three of his 12 three-point attempts. The silver lining is that […]

Kirk Cousins Throws For 285 Yards Against Washington

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 23 of 26 passes for 285 yards in Week 8's 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins. He didn't throw a touchdown or an interception but was very accurate again in the victory. The Vikings totaled 38 rushing attempts as they continue to stress Dalvin Cook and the rushing attack, […]

Khris Middleton Has A Pedestrian Opening Night

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton had a forgettable start to his 2019-20 NBA season. Middleton, who signed a five-year extension in the offseason, chipped in 11 points and eight rebounds as the Bucks took down the Houston Rockets on Thursday. A closer look at the box score shows he shot only 25% from the […]

Peyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 8 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber faces a solid Tennessee Titans squad in Week 8. Barber has established himself through the first seven weeks of the season as borderline unstartable in any fantasy format and should be treated as such. The Bucs backfield has been a guessing game all season long in regards to […]

Stefon Diggs Tallies Seven Catches For 143 Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught all seven of his targets for 143 yards in a 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins in Week 8. Diggs concerningly lost his third fumble of the year trying to extend a long catch-and-run on the first drive of the game, but it was an otherwise very productive […]

Russell Westbrook Takes Off For Rockets on Opening Night

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook recorded 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists in his Rockets debut on Thursday. Many owners were questioning how pairing Westbrook with fellow usage monster James Harden would work, but on the first night it didn't seem to matter. The 2017 MVP drained three of his seven three-point attempts, and […]

Dalvin Cook Rumbles To Yet Another Huge Performance

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried 23 times for 98 yards and a touchdown in Week 8's win over the Washington Redskins. He also had five catches for 73 receiving yards in what has been an incredible start to his 2019 campaign. With the short week of preparation and without their top wideout Adam […]

Ronald Jones II A Risky Week 8 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II currently finds himself in an unpredictable timeshare with backfield mate Peyton Barber, which is exactly the same position he started in at the beginning of the season. Jones put up a couple of solid performances this season but has otherwise been quiet from a fantasy perspective. Bucs […]
