Yankees Unsure Of Jacoby Ellsbury's Status

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (hip) is "not in a position health-wise" for the team to know if he's a realistic option for the 2020 season. Ellsbury has battled a wide range of injuries and hasn't played for the Yankees in the last two seasons. There will obviously […]

Latavius Murray Could Have Huge Workload In Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was magnificent last week filling in for injured starter Alvin Kamara (ankle) against the Chicago Bears. The 29-year-old ran for 119 yards on a career-high 27 rushing attempts, added 31 receiving yards and had two touchdowns. Murray could be looking at another large workload against the Arizona Cardinals, […]

Bears Defense Searching For Answers

The Chicago Bears Defense will try and snap out of their slump against the Chargers in Week 8. The vaunted unit has been struggling, recording only one sack over their last two games. They also have now allowed 100-yard rushing games to back-to-back running backs and the unit is being heavily taxed as the Bears […]

C.J. Mosley Not Over His Injury

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin), who returned last Monday night for the first time since the season opener, didn't look right in his return. Head coach Adam Gase said the team will do a "deep dive" to see what exactly is wrong with Mosley's groin. It doesn't sound promising that he'll be on […]

Trey Burton Lacks Fantasy Appeal In Week 8

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton will go up against a Chargers Defense that is allowing the 13th fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. Burton has been non-existent this season on offense and has only 13 receptions all season. He has failed to find the end zone and will face a Chargers defense […]

Patrick Mahomes Works With Second Team Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) worked with the second-team offense on Thursday and looked to be moving around better. Mahomes has been pretty limited the last two days of practice. While he's making great progress from a dislocated kneecap a week ago, the odds are still slim that he plays on Sunday night […]

Taylor Gabriel Hopes To Bounce Back In Week 8

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel will try and bounce back against the Chargers in Week 8. Gabriel enjoyed a fantastic first half of football in Week 3 with three touchdowns but has missed time with a concussion. He returned to action last week but caught only one pass for six yards on two targets. […]

Corey Davis Returns From Illness

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with an illness. Davis should be able to suit up this Sunday in Week 8 in a great matchup with the Buccaneers. The 24-year-old showed some chemistry with quarterback Ryan Tannehill last week against the Chargers, catching […]

Delanie Walker Still Out Thursday

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Walker barely played in Week 7 and looks set to miss Week 8 against the Buccaneers unless he can practice on Friday. The oft-injured veteran tight end seems to be running on fumes and hasn't done much of anything […]

Anthony Miller Not A Fantasy Option

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will go up against a Chargers Defense that is allowing the 13th fewest fantasy points to opposing pass-catchers in Week 8. Miller's season is finally off the mat, racking up nine catches for 116 yards over his last two games. The second-year receiver caught seven touchdowns in 2018 but […]

Allen Robinson A Solid Play In Week 8

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson will go up against a Chargers Defense in Week 8 that is allowing the 13th fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers. The Chargers have allowed 15-plus fantasy points to five different receivers and Robinson is the only Bears offensive player that is delivering this season. Over his last three […]

Josh Jacobs Not Seen At Practice

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Head coach Jon Gruden said on Wednesday that Jacobs would be questionable for Week 8 against the Texans. That's worrisome since the Raiders play a late afternoon game this weekend. Fantasy owners would be more relieved […]

Tarik Cohen Not Worth The Fantasy Gamble

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will go up against a Chargers Defense that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Running backs have posted solid fantasy numbers against the Chargers at times this season but Cohen's season has been a major disappointment. Through the first six games, Cohen […]

Russell Gage Has An Opportunity

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage will be the next man up inside now that Mohamed Sanu is playing for the Patriots. Buried on the depth chart this year, Gage has only four catches on eight targets for 44 yards, but he has a chance to step up in Atlanta's high-powered offense in three-receiver sets. […]

Matt Ryan Not Expected To Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is not expected to practice for the second straight day on Thursday as he continues to nurse his sprained ankle. The Falcons said earlier this week that they planned on Ryan starting in Week 8 against the Seahawks, but all signs right now point to Matt Schaub starting unless […]

David Montgomery Should See Increase In Touches

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will look to see more than four touches in the team's Week 8 tilt against Chargers. The Bears ran the ball only seven times in Week 7 and Montgomery saw only two carries and caught two passes. The Bears running game is completely in shambles right now and gauging […]

Davante Adams Misses Practice Again

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) stretched for the second straight day on Thursday but did not practice with the team. Adams could be a game-time decision on Sunday night against the Chiefs, but fantasy owners should be prepared to be without him again unless he can get in a limited practice on […]

David Johnson Misses Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle, back) was not on the practice field for the second straight day on Thursday. Johnson re-injured himself in last week's win over the Giants and saw backup Chase Edmonds dominate touches and find the end zone three times. It's not a good sign that the Cardinals signed both […]

Mitch Trubisky Not A Smart Play In Week 8

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will be under the microscope when the team takes the field in Week 8 against the Chargers. The season, thus far, has been a total disaster for Trubisky and the Bears offense. The third-year quarterback has regressed this season and his numbers have been propped up by one strong first […]

Malcolm Brown Ruled Out Against Bengals

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) will be out for Week 8 against the Bengals in London. It will be Brown's second straight absence. Todd Gurley returned from a one-game absence in Week 7 but was spelled often by rookie Darrell Henderson. Gurley maintains RB2 value in fantasy, but this matchup could offer […]

Teddy Bridgewater A Low-End Streaming Option Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old hasn't been a fantasy star by any means but has posted at least 16 fantasy points in three starts this year. He'll face a Cardinals Defense that ranks 25th in the NFL against the pass. The […]

William Jackson To Return For Bengals Defense

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback William Jackson (shoulder) will return to face the Rams in Week 8 in London after missing just one game. However, head coach Zac Taylor said that cornerback Darqueze Dennard (hamstring) is doubtful to play. Dre Kirkpatrick is also still sidelined, so the Bengals will once again be short-handed against a powerful Rams […]

A.J. Green, Cordy Glenn Won't Play In London

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) and left tackle Cordy Glenn (shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Rams in London. The Bengals are on bye next week, so the soonest Green and Glenn can play in 2019 will be in Week 10. Although the Bengals say they don't want to […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/24/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Small slates with small sample sized don't really allow us to dive into every matchup from a solid analytical angle, but with teams playing their first games, we can expect to see some outliers right off the bat. Young players are going to come out shooting, so whether they convert or not will make or […]

Cam Newton Hasn't Practiced This Week

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) could travel with the team to San Francisco this week, but Newton has yet to practice this week and won't be active. The Panthers announced that Kyle Allen would make another start against the 49ers earlier this week, and Newton must return to practice soon if he has any […]

Sterling Shepard Ruled Out For Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) was limited in practice again on Thursday, but he will not play in Week 8 against the Lions. Shepard has already suffered two concussions this year, so the Giants are playing it really safe with him. He's been out since Oct. 6 against the Vikings. Golden Tate […]

Giancarlo Stanton Suffered Grade 2 Quad Strain

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (quadriceps) suffered a Grade 2 quadriceps strain in the American League Championship Series against the Astros, according to general manager Brian Cashman. It was a year full of injuries for the 29-year-old, as he played in just 18 games in the regular season and hit .288/.403/.492 with three home […]

Patrick Mahomes Practicing Again Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is practicing again on Thursday, but he's not expected to do a whole lot for the second straight day. Mahomes is recovering from his dislocated kneecap at a good rate, but he's still unlikely to play in Week 8 on Sunday night against the Packers. But the athletic […]

Saquon Barkley Practicing In Full

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Barkley had a little injury scare in his return to action last week, but ultimately he's fine and will be ready to go in a nice matchup in Week 8 against the Lions on the road. Barkley played a […]

Keep Rolling With The Bills Defense In Week 8

The Bills Defense has been one of the most consistently productive fantasy defenses this year. They've only allowed over 17 points in a game just once this year, to the Dolphins last week - surprisingly enough. This week, the Bills face the Eagles, who have scored 24.4 points per game this year. Expect the Bills […]
