Adrian Phillips Set To Return From Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Chargers safety Adrian Phillips (forearm) has been designated as a player that will return from Injured Reserve, and he could play as soon as Monday night against the Chiefs in Week 11. He was placed on IR on Sept. 17 after breaking his forearm in the loss to the Lions. Second-year safety Derwin […]

Jamison Crowder Is A Solid Start Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder has established himself as quarterback Sam Darnold's favorite target and will look to keep his personal hot streak going this Sunday in Washington. Crowder has 164 yards and two touchdowns in his previous two games and is easily Darnold's most targeted receiver. In six games with Darnold under center, […]

Falcons Defense Getting Desmond Trufant Back

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant (toe) will play in Week 11 against the Panthers after missing the last four games with turf toe. It's good news for a Falcons Defense that has pretty much been torched through the air for most of the year outside of last week's surprising win over the Saints. Trufant's return […]

Austin Hooper, Devonta Freeman Officially Ruled Out

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee) and running back Devonta Freeman (foot) have both been officially ruled out for Week 11 against the Panthers. Hooper is the team's leading receiver with 56 catches, while Freeman is the leading rusher with 371 yards, so it'll put a big strain on the offense this Sunday. Hooper […]

Duke Johnson Faces Tough Test Sunday

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson found the end zone in the two games before his bye, but he will be a risky play in Week 11 at Baltimore. Johnson was ineffective as a runner in his last game, totaling just 13 yards on seven carries while fellow back Carlos Hyde went off for 160 […]

Alvin Kamara Gets Tough Matchup In Week 11

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. The 24-year-old has had a tough season, as he's battled injuries that cost him two games. He hasn't eclipsed 70 rushing yards since Week 1 and has just two touchdowns this year-both came in Week 3. Kamara is […]

Bilal Powell Getting More Involved In Offense

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell has been getting more work late in the season, capped by a seven-carry game last week versus the Giants. Starting running back Le'Veon Bell (illness) has played the lion's share of the Jets backfield snaps this season but has been limited at practice all week. Before the season, […]

Carlos Hyde A Volume Play This Sunday

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde has gotten 19 or more carries in four of his past five games and will need that type of workload to succeed in a tough matchup at Baltimore. The Ravens are a top-10 defense in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs so Hyde isn't a must-start player […]

Trey Quinn Can't Be Trusted In Week 11

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn has an inviting matchup on his hands in a Jets team that has given up 15 total touchdowns and nearly 185 yards per game to his position. In most cases the Jets being on the other side of a WR matchup is cause to start the WR in question, […]

Le'Veon Bell Expected To Play Sunday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (illness) will be a low-end RB1 in a good matchup with the Redskins this Sunday. He was limited this week in practice with an illness, but head coach Adam Gase has said he expects Bell to be fine to suit up. The Jets have struggled to run the […]

Jeremy Sprinkle Facing Rough Matchup At Home

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle has never capitalized on the starting role despite holding it for most of the 2019 season. With that in mind, it matters little whether Vernon Davis (concussion) makes a surprising late-week turnaround or not. Sprinkle has not caught more than two passes nor eclipsed 25 yards receiving in any […]

Deshaun Watson Faces Tough Road Test Sunday

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson should have plenty of opportunities to score fantasy points this week despite a tough matchup at Baltimore. Watson is averaging over eight yards per throw this season and should pass well over 30 times this weekend with Vegas listing the Texans as an underdog in a game with a projected […]

Redskins Defense A Sneaky Week 11 Option

The Washington Redskins Defense could have some success at home against a Jets team that offers up some of the ingredients you target in streaming defenses. First and foremost, the Jets offense commits turnovers at the ninth-highest rate in the NFL, and Washington's fifth-best interception rate on opposing pass attempts sure contains promise with Sam […]

Keep The Faith In Drew Brees Against Buccaneers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees put up a shocking stinker against the Atlanta Falcons last week. Don't give up on him after this performance, considering his Week 11 opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have been awful against quarterbacks this year. They've allowed the second-most passing yards and the third-most passing touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks. […]

Sam Darnold Hoping To Keep Momentum

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold will look to keep the momentum from a rare win in a road affair with the Redskins this Sunday. Darnold did not have a turnover for the first time since Week 6 in a win vs the Giants, and showed the ability to make some plays when he had […]

Dwayne Haskins A Risky Option Despite Favorable Matchup

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins will face a Jets Defense that has been kind to his position, particularly of late. New York has given up at least 275 passing yards and three passing touchdowns to the last three quarterbacks it has faced. Haskins and his team are coming off a bye, meaning they'll have had […]

Week 11 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Count 'em down. There are only three weeks left before the playoffs begin in most fantasy leagues. If you survived the dreaded Week 10 with a season-high six teams on bye, it's a true testament to your squad's depth and your savvy on the waiver wire. Pat yourself on the back. Four more teams have […]

Myles Garrett Suspended Indefinitely

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Garrett was in the center of an ugly brawl at the end of the Pittsburgh-Cleveland game on Thursday night. He ripped quarterback Mason Rudolph's helmet off and then hit the signal-caller over the head with it. The suspension will run through the […]

Antonio Callaway Loses Appeal

Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway learned on Friday morning that he lost his appeal of a 10-game suspension for another violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Callaway is currently on waivers after the Browns announced they were moving on on Thursday. The talented wideout fell in the 2018 draft because of off-field issues, […]

A.J. Green Will Not Play Against Raiders

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver A.J. Green's (ankle) swelling in his left ankle went down, but it's still not good enough for him to make his season debut in Week 11 against the Raiders. Green could wind up not playing at all this season if he doesn't improve anytime soon. […]

Matthew Stafford Won't Play In Week 11

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia has ruled quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) out for Week 11 against the Cowboys. Stafford is dealing with fractures in his back and will miss his second straight game. He won't be a lock to return in Week 12 either. Jeff Driskel will make his second straight start. He didn't […]

Tevin Coleman Grabbing The Reins

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman will shoulder the load in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable, Coleman will likely handle more than his typical 50 percent snap share and is probably in-line for a season-high in touches. With quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo struggling and a banged-up pass-catching corps, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/15/19): NBA DFS Lineups

This is for anyone that might need to read this today. If you have confidence in a pick, roll with it. Yesterday, my one play. The only player I felt extremely confident rostering was Rodney McGruder. Heading into this game it was obvious he was going to get extra minutes, then Patrick Beverley was announced […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Playing With Short Stack

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will likely be shorthanded heading into Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. Garoppolo committed three turnovers in Week 10 and enters Sunday down stud tight end George Kittle (knee, ankle) and No. 1 receiver Emmanuel Sanders. Jimmy G draws a beatable Cardinals Defense who he shredded for four touchdowns […]

Eric Fisher On Track To Return Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher (groin) put in a full practice on Thursday, which was his first full practice since undergoing surgery on a sports hernia in mid-September. He's on track to return for Monday night's divisional showdown against the Chargers in Mexico City. The team's starting left tackle has been out since […]

Diontae Johnson Suffers Head Injury Thursday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (concussion) suffered a concussion from a helmet-to-helmet hit from Browns safety Damarious Randall on Thursday night and was carted off to the locker room. Randall was ejected from the game as a result. Johnson had blood coming out of his ear and did not look good at all, so […]

Jrue Holiday Scorching In Win Over Clippers

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday was magnificent in his team's 132-127 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Holiday scored 36 points on 54 percent shooting with five triples on 83 percent shooting. He also stuffed the stat sheet, tallying four rebounds, seven assists, one block, and six steals. Holiday was a two-way menace and […]

FanDuel, DraftKings NHL DFS Lineup Picks (11/15/19): Daily Fantasy Hockey

Hockey fans can catch up on some sleep tonight, as all five games occur in the East with 7 pm or 7:30 pm start times. The two highest totals of 6.5 will happen in Toronto and Ottawa, as Boston visits the Leafs and Philadelphia visits the Senators. In Columbus, St.Louis visits the Blue Jackets to […]

Derrick Favors Posts 20-20 Game Against Clippers

New Orleans Pelicans center Derrick Favors was excellent against the Los Angeles Clippers. He scored 20 points, pulled down 20 rebounds and dished out three assists. Favors also chipped in one block and one three-pointer. It's the first 20-20 game of Favors' career and his third straight double-double. After a knee injury and a slow […]
