1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 25

With just two weeks remaining in the 2019 season, every move takes on added importance. The finish line is in view. It's quite literally now or never for those with title hopes. In the final stretch, the waiver wire is your only avenue for reinforcements, and though you'll have fewer rivals to outmaneuver, those that […]

The Cut List (Week 25) - Time to Let Go?

Only two weeks to go! Not much time in roto, but enough if things are close, or if you're entering crunch time in a head-to-head playoff. If you're facing those circumstances, you know it's no time to get casual. The players themselves don't have much time to turn things around either. Players do go through […]

Joe Mixon Plans To Play In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) plans to play against the 49ers on Sunday. Mixon injured his ankle during the Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks and finished with just 10 yards on six carries to go along with two receptions for seven yards. The 23-year-old practiced in a limited capacity on Friday, with […]

Michael Badgley Unlikely To Play

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) is not expected to play against the Detroit Lions. Badgley did practice throughout the week, and despite feeling good, he likely won't be available in Week 2, leaving punter Ty Long to handle the kicking duties once again. Long went 1-for-1 with three extra points against the Colts […]

Mike Williams Likely To Play Sparingly

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) will likely play against the Lions. Williams returned to practice on Friday after sitting out the previous two days, but even though he is likely to suit up, the plan is to utilize him in red-zone situations only. With tight end Hunter Henry (knee) not available in […]

Week 2 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

Last season started with bad game after bad game on Monday Night Football. If last week was a sign, this season should be much better in terms of both gameplay and announcing. Thank goodness for both. This week, the matchup pits an underperforming Cleveland Browns team traveling east to New Jersey to take on the […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 9/16/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Considered one of the big winners of the NFL offseason, the Cleveland Browns fell flat in Week One, losing 43-13 at home against Tennessee. The Jets not only blew a 16-0 lead to lose 17-16 to Buffalo in Week One but their lineup has been decimated by injuries with quarterback Sam Darnold, linebacker C.J. Mosley […]

Anthony DeSclafani Pitches Well in Loss to Arizona

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Anthony DeSclafani pitched well in a 1-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. DeSclafani gave up one run in seven innings of work while striking out five. He allowed just one hit in the game, a triple to Nick Ahmed. DeSclafani now has a 9-9 record, 3.93 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and […]

Marquise Brown May Be The New D-Jax

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown is still experiencing some discomfort in his injured foot and only played on 14 snaps in Week 1. Out of those 14 snaps, Brown was targeted five times, catching four balls for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Although the speedster out of Oklahoma only played on 14.82% of the […]

Miguel Sano Hits Game-Winning Grand Slam

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a 9-5 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader. Sano's first career slam was a big one as he broke a 5-5 tie in the eighth inning. The veteran power hitter is batting .239 with […]

Mark Ingram Owners Need To Have Gus Edwards

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards played more snaps (38.16%) than starter Mark Ingram (32.89%) in Week 1, but Ingram is the clear starter in the Ravens backfield. Last week, Edwards saw an increase in playing time because Ingram's shoulder was banged up and the Ravens had a large lead over the Miami Dolphins. Edwards […]

Miles Boykin Should Remain On Waivers

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Miles Boykin played only 23.68% of the offensive snaps in Week 1. Boykin would have come up extremely small for fantasy purposes if he didn't score a touchdown on his only target of the game. That being said, the Notre Dame product may be the best red-zone threat the Ravens have […]

Nyheim Hines' Stock Is Falling

In Week 1, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines caught all four of his targets for just four yards. He also added four carries for 13 yards. In Week 2, he's nothing more than a dart throw in very deep leagues. During his rookie season, Hines' value came from his volume in the passing game […]

Zay Jones Not A Viable Starting Option

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones caught two passes for 18 yards in Week 1. He was targeted four times in the game. He's the team's No. 2 receiver on paper, but slot receiver Cole Beasley will be soaking up many of the targets that would be going to a No. 2 receiver in most […]

T.J. Yeldon Should Remain On Waivers

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon only played two offensive snaps in the Bills' opening game against the Jets in Week 1 and there's little reason to believe that will change much in Week 2. He's the clear third-string running back in a rushing offense that's yet to get going. Veteran Frank Gore is the […]

Demaryius Thomas Questionable Against Browns

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is questionable to play on Monday night against the Browns in Week 2. Thomas hasn't practiced all week and is probably on the wrong side of questionable for this one. Quincy Enunwa's season-ending injury is good news for Thomas having a role with Gang Green this year, […]

Mark Andrews Expected To Play

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals despite being held out of practice Friday with a foot injury. Andrews caught all eight of his targets in Week 1 against Miami for 108 yards and a touchdown. He also caught three of quarterback Lamar Jackson's five […]

Albert Pujols Hitting Cleanup Saturday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols will start and hit cleanup Saturday against the Rays. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer has cooled off lately, slugging only .385 over his last seven games. Pujols is clearly in the back-half of his career but has done a decent job as a run producer this season. […]

Kole Calhoun Has Three Home Runs In Last Two Games

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun is starting and hitting third as the team takes on the Rays on Saturday. With Mike Trout sidelined, Calhoun has been tasked with driving in runs and has delivered the past few games. Calhoun cranked a home run on Thursday and then backed it up with two more home […]

Brian Goodwin In 2-For-27 Slump

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin will bat leadoff as the team takes on the Rays on Saturday. Goodwin is scuffling at the plate, going 2-for-27 over his last seven games and is hitting only .193 over his last 15. After slugging .667 in the month of August, Goodwin is limping his way to the […]

Yordan Alvarez Not In Lineup Saturday

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez will get the night off Saturday against the Royals. With teammate Michael Brantley struggling it looks like the team is trying to keep Brantley in the lineup but keep his legs fresh by playing DH. After a slight lull at the plate, Alvarez has come back with a vengeance, […]

Justice Hill Could Have Trouble In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was limited to 27 rushing yards and no touchdowns on seven carries in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. The Ravens gave the ball to all three backfield options in the opening drive against Miami and it's clear they will be looking to utilize all three as the season […]

Yuli Gurriel Hitting Fifth On Saturday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is hitting fifth Saturday against the Royals. Gurriel returned to the lineup on September 12 after missing several games with left hamstring tightness and appears to be almost at full strength. It has been a dynamite year for Gurriel, who has surprised many in the fantasy community. Gurriel enters […]

Alex Bregman Has Cooled Off After Scorching Streak

Houston Astros shortstop Alex Bregman has cooled off a touch over the last seven days, hitting only .222 over his last 18 at-bats heading into Saturday's action. This comes on the heels of an absolutely blistering streak of production on offense and still is slashing .350/.469/.675 in the month of September. It merely has been […]
