Keke Coutee Limited Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday. There's more hope that Coutee will suit up in Week 1 against the Saints on Monday night, although it's not completely certain yet. If he's active, Coutee will be in the slot with DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller on the outside. This […]

Miguel Rojas Sitting Out on Thursday Against Pittsburgh

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This will simply be a night off for Rojas, who is 1-for-14 in three games since coming off the Injured List. Jon Berti will start for Miami and bat leadoff for the Marlins, as he is hitting .256 […]

Matt Ryan Start-Worthy In Tough Week 1 Matchup

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will have a tough test to start the year as he travels to Minnesota to take on the Vikings, who allowed the third-fewest passing yards in the NFL last year. Things could also get more difficult for Ryan if he's without star wide receiver Julio Jones, whose status is very […]

Marquise Brown Added To Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) was added to the injury report on Thursday but was a full participant in practice. Brown will make his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Dolphins, but he's merely an afterthought for redraft lineups while recovering from a Lisfranc injury. The speedster and deep threat will […]

Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

Julio Jones Unsure If He'll Play Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones said he's trying to be out there for Week 1 against the Vikings, but "he doesn't know" if he'll play if he doesn't have a new contract. This is the last thing Jones' fantasy owners wanted to hear with the regular season opener just a few days away. Jones […]

Stack 'Em - Players With Favorable Fantasy Schedules

Rooting for a team is great. It is what fuels fandom, and sports in general. And it is why some times we opt to draft one of our favorite team's players instead of another guy. Look at your team at the end of your draft and it wouldn't be weird to find some homer-picks in […]

Reynaldo Lopez Strikes Out 11 in Complete-Game Win

Chicago White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez tossed a complete game on Thursday afternoon to earn his ninth win of the season in a 7-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Lopez allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out 11 for his first double-digit strikeout performance since July. This was a stellar […]

Welington Castillo Has Big Day at the Plate Thursday

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo led the way in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Cleveland Indians, as he finished 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored. This was a breakout game for Castillo, who had struggled over his last 10 games with a .176 average that dropped his […]

MacKenzie Gore Annointed MLB Pipeline's Top Pitcher

San Diego Padres pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore was awarded MLB Pipeline’s Pitcher of the Year honors on Thursday. Baseball’s No. 3 prospect absolutely dominated High-A this season, registering a 1.02 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 12.5 K/9 in 15 starts. After a late season promotion to Double-A, he rattled off a 4.15 ERA and 10.4 K/9 […]

Bills Defense Primed For Strong Performance In Week 1

The Bills Defense opens the year with an extremely favorable matchup on the road against the Jets. Last year, the Jets were amongst the bottom-third of the league in both points scored and total yards. Meanwhile, the Bills gave up the fewest passing yards in the league last season and should pose a big problem […]

Nick Bosa Will Play For 49ers Defense In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) will play in the team's season opener against the Buccaneers on Sunday, according to defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. The No. 2 overall pick of the draft will start his rookie season on the field, and he'll help boost San Fran's pass rush in a big way […]

Steven Hauschka Shouldn't Be Started In Week 1

Buffalo Bills kicker Steven Hauschka is not a safe starting option for Week 1. Hauschka struggled last season, converting just 78.6% of his field goal attempts compared with his career average of 86.4%. While the Bills should have an improved offense this year, giving Hauschka more opportunities, it's hard to rely on that taking effect […]

Cam Newton's Mobility Is Fine

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) mobility has been good in practice and he feels like the signal-caller will be able to do the things he normally does in Week 1 on Sunday against the Rams. Newton suffered a mid-foot sprain in the third preseason game but is past […]

Cole Beasley A Solid WR3 Or Flex In PPR Leagues

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley figures to be featured heavily in his debut with the team this weekend against the Jets. Beasley will be working out of the slot, giving Allen a solid safety net option that he lacked greatly last season. The Jets had the ninth-worst passing defense in the NFL last year […]

Zay Jones A Risky Fantasy Option

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones is currently listed as a starter for the team going into Week 1 alongside John Brown and Cole Beasley. Jones should see a lot of snaps and could get around five targets, but that likely won't be enough to produce strong fantasy numbers. Jones isn't much of a big-play […]

Robert Foster Not A Starting Option In Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Robert Foster flashed some intriguing upside during the second half of his rookie season in 2018, but with the team's offseason additions of John Brown and Cole Beasley, Foster is unlikely to play a significant role in the new-look Bills' offense, at least for now. He should see some snaps if […]

John Brown A Solid WR3 Or Flex For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown will make his debut with the team on Sunday in a road game against the Jets. Brown is the team's No. 1 receiver to start the season and should be primed for around seven or eight targets in Week 1, giving him a good shot to catch five passes […]

Josh Allen A Viable Starter In Two-QB Leagues For Week 1

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will be heavily under the spotlight during the first game of his sophomore NFL campaign. Allen's Bills will be on the road against the Jets on Sunday, giving Allen a favorable matchup as the Jets were the league's ninth-worst passing defense last season. Allen has some intriguing upside in the […]

Derrius Guice To Start, Adrian Peterson Could Be Healthy Scratch

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden plans to start running back Derrius Guice in Week 1 on Sunday against the Eagles, but he hasn't decided whether the team will dress two more or three more running backs. Adrian Peterson could be the odd man out this weekend as a healthy scratch. Guice is the younger […]

Frank Gore Could Be A Sneaky Start In Deep Leagues

If you're in a pinch for a running back or flex this week, Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore could be an option worth considering. After the team's release of LeSean McCoy, a lot of opportunities opened up in the Buffalo backfield and Gore will likely get the first crack at maintaining the starting running […]

Jordan Reed Not Cleared, Paul Richardson Progressing

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed remains in the concussion protocol as of Thursday. Head coach Jay Gruden said he was "very encouraged" by how wide receiver Paul Richardson (quadriceps) ran in practice on Thursday. Reed has been looking better and could be cleared on Friday, but until then he remains nothing more than a […]

Adam Eaton Remains Out Of Lineup Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) is not in the lineup Thursday due to a bone bruise on his right knee. It was originally reported that he may have been available off the bench, but we have yet to see him in action since going down early in Monday's game. Eaton remains day-to-day for now. […]

Devin Singletary A Risky Start In Week 1

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary could certainly establish himself as a strong fantasy starter sooner rather than later, but in Week 1 you're best off staying away from him. Singletary's first NFL game this Sunday will be a road game against the Jets, who were the seventh-worst rushing defense in the league last […]

Seahawks Have High Expectations For Rashaad Penny

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll and the rest of the coaching staff have high expectations for second-year running back Rashaad Penny. "He’s talented, he’s explosive, he’s in great shape. He’s the smartest he’s ever been, he can catch the football, his pass protection has improved. Every aspect of his game is at it’s best," […]

Sean Murphy Not in Oakland Lineup on Thursday

After making his MLB debut on Wednesday, Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy is not in the lineup Thursday afternoon against the Angels. Murphy was 1-for-3 in his debut, with his lone hit coming on his first career home run. Josh Phegley will get the start behind the plate for Oakland, as he enters the game […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Yet To Run Full Speed

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hip) admitted that he hasn't opened up and run at full speed yet because he doesn't want to risk making his injury worse before the regular season opener on Sunday against the Titans. It makes you wonder if he'll be rusty this weekend after having not played at […]

Ramon Laureano To Be Activated Friday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (shin) is expected to be activated off the injured list Friday. Laureano has missed just over a month with a stress fracture in his right shin and will look to pick up right where he left off before going down. Enjoying a breakout season, Laureano was hitting to the tune […]
