Justin Thomas Looks To Repeat 2017 Finish In South Korea

Justin Thomas, who won the CJ Cup in 2017, is back in South Korea to try and capture the title for the second time in the past three seasons. Thomas enters the week as the betting favorite in Las Vegas, currently priced at 6.5/1 - nearly two points better than Brooks Koepka. As you might […]

Bears Optimistic About Mitch Trubisky

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said he's "cautiously optimistic" that quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) will start in Week 7 against the Saints. However, there will be a "balancing act" in practice this week and Chase Daniel will also get some first-team work. Trubisky said he feels close to 100 percent and is practicing in […]

Ian Poulter Flying Under The Radar

Ian Poulter is scheduled to tee it up in this week's CJ Cup at Nine Bridges. Poulter heads to Korea in middling form and has finished outside the top 50 in his last two starts in Europe. Despite the Englishman's recent mediocre results, his strong course history at Nine Bridges makes him an intriguing under-the-radar […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Sterling Shepard Remains In Concussion Protocol

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Shepard missed last Thursday's game and will likely be questionable for Week 7 against the Cardinals. He'll have to gain clearance from the protocol later this week in order to have a […]

Running Back Metrics That Matter - NFL NextGen Stats

It's been a month--a full month!--since the last time we took a look at our beloved running backs. I don't think there is a hotter topic of discussion between pro- and anti-analytics than rushing. The guys fighting for stat-supremacy are all about using the passing game as much as possible while ditching the run; the […]

Saquon Barkley, Evan Engram Practicing In Full

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and tight end Evan Engram (knee) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday. Barkley and Engram are both on track to return for a mouthwatering Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals. Barkley's owners have to be ecstatic that he will wind up missing just two games […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Hasn't Seen a Target Since Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside has not seen a pass thrown his way since Week 3. The hyped rookie saw four targets in Week 2 and three in Week 3, but hasn't seen any since then. He's been mostly working on special teams even without DeSean Jackson (abdomen) available on offense. The Eagles […]

Mack Hollins Not a Fantasy Option in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is not a fantasy option in Week 7. The Eagles will take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, and even if DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is forced to miss another game, Hollins will only play a bit role. Hollins saw seven targets in Week 3, but has seen […]

Nelson Agholor Not a Great Option in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a great starting option for Week 7. The Eagles hit the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys and their strong pass defense on Sunday Night Football. Agholor managed to catch four of his seven targets in Week 6, but caught only one pass in Weeks 4 […]

Alshon Jeffery Should Have Another Solid Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery should have another solid performance in Week 7 despite a tough matchup. DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is questionable at best for Sunday and would likely be limited even if he were able to play, making Jeffery once again the top target in the passing game. The Cowboys defend well against […]

Tavon Austin Could Have a Role in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin could have a legitimate role on offense in Week 7. The Cowboys will host the Philadelphia Eagles and their porous, generous pass defense. With Amari Cooper (quad) and Randall Cobb (back) not sure things for Sunday night, Austin should see more snaps than usual. He somehow led the Cowboys […]

Joaquin Niemann Looks To Get Back On Track At CJ Cup

Joaquin Niemann is listed as in the field for the upcoming CJ Cup at Nine Bridges. Niemann captured the first win of his professional career earlier last month at the Greenbrier, but has been battling something of a victory hangover in his two subsequent starts. The young 20-year-old from Chile is an explosive player that […]

Cedrick Wilson Could Get a Start in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson could be elevated to a starting role on Sunday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles. With wide receivers Amari Cooper (quad) and Randall Cobb (back) not sure things for Sunday's matchup, the Cowboys could be forced to roll with Michael Gallup, Devin Smith, and Wilson in three-wide sets. Wilson […]

Devin Smith Could Be Back in the Lineup in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith could be back in the starting lineup for a key Week 7 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. With Amari Cooper (quad) and Randall Cobb (back) both questionable at best for Sunday Night Football, Smith could play the biggest role he's played all season against an Eagles pass defense that […]

Michael Gallup Should Have an Increased Role in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup should see an increased role in Week 7 and has a good matchup to exploit. The Cowboys will host the division rival Philadelphia Eagles and their struggling pass defense. Gallup could be playing as the top receiving option as Amari Cooper (quad) is not a sure thing for Sunday. […]

Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb Won't Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers Amari Cooper (thigh) and Randall Cobb (back) will not practice on Wednesday. Offensive tackles Tyron Smith (ankle) and La'el Collins (back) also aren't practicing. Consider all of them questionable to play on Sunday night in a big divisional showdown against the Eagles. Cooper was in serious pain after the Week 6 […]

Angels Hire Joe Maddon As Manager

The Los Angeles Angels hired Joe Maddon as their next manager on Wednesday. This was the expected outcome after the Cubs fired Maddon and the Angels let go of Brad Ausmus after just one year. Maddon has over 30 years of experience in the Angels organization and has 16 years of managerial experience between the […]

Game 4 Of ALCS Postponed Wednesday

Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees has been postponed on Wednesday due to inclement weather. The postponement should allow both Game 1 starters -- Zack Greinke for the Astros and Masahiro Tanaka for the Yankees -- to go on regular rest in Game 4 on […]

Matthew Wolff An Explosive DFS Option At Nine Bridges

Matthew Wolff is in the field for the upcoming CJ Cup at Nine Bridges. It will be Wolff's first start in the Korean event. The former collegiate star has hit the ground running on the PGA Tour and emerged from last season's 3M Open with a victory in just his third start as a pro. […]

Miles Sanders Not an Exciting Week 7 Choice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is not an exciting choice for a Week 7 fantasy lineup. Sanders is playing passing downs behind early-down lead back Jordan Howard and isn't doing much in the red zone, severely limiting his upside. The Eagles travel to Dallas to take on a strong Cowboys Defense and could […]

Jordan Howard Could Have a Tough Time in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard could struggle in Week 7. The Eagles travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys in a battle for first place, and Howard will face off against a tough Dallas run defense. While he has become the head of the Philly backfield, Howard is still a zero in the […]

Chris Herndon IV Remains Week-To-Week

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) remains week-to-week with his hamstring injury. Herndon is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Patriots on Monday night, and fantasy owners should look in another direction. However, he will be the team's top pass-catching tight end and is worth a stash for tight end-need […]

Devin Singletary To Practice In Full

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) will practice in full on Wednesday. It looks like Singletary will return to action in Week 7 against the Dolphins after resting up during the bye week. The 22-year-old rookie has just 10 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown in two games this year and hasn't […]

Marc Leishman Looks To Continue Strong Play In Korea

Marc Leishman is in the field for the upcoming CJ Cup at Nine Bridges. Leishman was forced to withdraw from A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier in mid-September with a back injury, but played excellent golf in his subsequent start by logging a top-five finish at the Safeway Open. The Big Aussie will look to […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick To Start In Week 7

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores announced on Wednesday that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will start over Josh Rosen in Week 7 against the Bills. Rosen failed against the Redskins in Week 6 and was benched in favor of the veteran late in the game. Fitzpatrick has had his ups and downs this year. He likely […]

Redskins Not Looking To Trade Trent Williams

The Washington Redskins haven't made disgruntled left tackle Trent Williams available in trades, and teams that have inquired about him have been stonewalled. Williams continues to hold out because of his unhappiness with the team's training staff. With the trade deadline quickly approaching and several teams in serious need of offensive-line upgrades, there's a chance […]

Mark Scheifele Collects Two Points In Loss

Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele deposited his fourth goal of the season and added an assist as his team came up short by the score of 4-2 to the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday. The 26-year-old skated 22:51 (including 7:17 on the man advantage) and also recorded two penalty minutes, five shots and one takeaway in […]

Tony Pollard Unlikely to Do Much in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard won't likely have too big of a role in Week 7. The Cowboys will welcome the Eagles into town for Sunday Night Football, and starter Ezekiel Elliott will almost certainly see a monster workload in what should be a close game. Pollard remains a handcuff with league-winning upside, […]

Alex Smith Had 17 Surgeries On Leg

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg), who suffered a gruesome leg injury in November of last year, said he wound up having 17 surgeries on his right leg. Smith developed an infection following an operation to fix the broken fibula and tibia he suffered against the Texans. The 35-year-old recently resumed throwing and hopes to […]
