Zach Ertz Scores and Totals Over 100 Yards in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz broke out of a season-long slump in Week 9, catching nine passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Ertz's score came on a 25-yard pass from Carson Wentz near the end of the first half. Ertz had looked like he was about to get passed on the depth chart […]

Jimmy Butler is Active for Sunday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is active and will start against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. He was listed as questionable heading into this game due to a left foot bruise. However, a minor foot issue isn't going to sideline Butler. He'll be in the starting five and a must start in all fantasy […]

Chris Boswell Returns To Perfect Ways

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals while also making both extra-point attempts in Sunday’s 26-24 win over the Colts. The highlight of his day was a booming 51-yard field goal that sent the Steelers into the locker room trailing 16-13 at half time. He’s been a great streaming option […]

Steelers Defense Records Five Sacks, Pick-Six

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense held strong in a 26-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Minkah Fitzpatrick returned his second-quarter interception for a 96-yard touchdown, marking his fourth interception since being acquired by Pittsburgh in Week 3. Bud Dupree continued his strong season by recording two sacks, while T.J. Watt registered 1.5 sacks himself. […]

Eric Gordon Joins the Starting Five

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon will join the starting five for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Gordon has been coming off the bench to begin the season, but the team has decided to give him a chance here. Danuel House will move to the bench, but he shouldn't lose many minutes at all. House […]

Darren Sproles Handles Three Offensive Touches in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (quad) handled three touches on offense in his return to the lineup. He ran the ball twice for seven yards and hauled in a catch for three more yards. Sproles committed a fumble, but the Eagles were able to recover it. He will continue in his role as a […]

Vance McDonald Finds Pay Dirt In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald hauled in five of seven targets for 30 yards and a score in Sunday’s win over the Colts. The 29-year-old pulled in his first score since Week 2, in the third quarter, and his target total was second highest on the team. It was encouraging to see him used […]

James Washington Shows Signs In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught all of his four targets for 69 yards in Sunday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts. This was Washington’s best game this season, but there wasn’t necessarily high expectations to live up to. This was similar to the connection many expected when his former college quarterback, Mason Rudolph, took […]

Diontae Johnson Quiet Against Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson received just two targets, catching one of them for three yards in Sunday's win over the Colts. After hauling in a touchdown in Week 8, Johnson was an afterthought in the offensive gameplan in Week 9. The rookie has been one of the top options in the passing game […]

D'Angelo Russell Should Play Soon

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is expected to be back in the starting five soon. He tweaked his ankle on Friday and didn't play on Saturday due to soreness. The Warriors are already ridiculously thin and losing Russell has only hurt them more. However, Russell is the Warriors' prized trade chip, assuming they […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Held In Check By Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught just three of his five targets for 16 yards in Sunday’s win over the Colts. Smith-Schuster had another rough outing in Week 9, as the Steelers strayed away from stretching the field, and instead favored short, dump-off passes. This is a disappointing performance from the 22-year-old, as he […]

Miles Sanders Handles 13 Touches in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) looked healthy in Week 9, running the ball 10 times for 42 yards and adding three catches for 31 more yards. Sanders was forced to leave the game in Week 8 with a shoulder injury but he played well when given the chance this week. His 13 […]

Jaylen Samuels Catches 13 Passes In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels rushed for just 10 yards on eight carries, while catching 13 passes for 73 yards in Sunday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts. Samuels was very busy in the passing game for Pittsburgh, and did a great job creating space after the catch, however he did fumble in the fourth […]

Goga Bitadze Gets The Start on Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Goga Bitadze will jump into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Myles Turner (ankle) and Domantas Sabonis (calf) will be watching from the sidelines on Sunday. Bitadze finished with 10 points and nine rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench on Friday. He'll be an extremely attractive DFS […]

Mason Rudolph Underwhelming Against Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph finished 26 of 35 for just 191 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday’s 26-24 win over the Colts. Rudolph heavily favored shorter passes again in Week 9, and while he connected with James Washington for 40 yards, his next longest completion was just 17 yards. However, he […]

JaKarr Sampson Joins Starting Five on Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson will join the starting five for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The Pacers are without Myles Turner (ankle) for a few weeks, so they will have to fill the void by committee. TJ Leaf started last game, but was basically a ghost out there during his eight minutes on […]

Jordan Howard Scores Another Touchdown in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard led the Eagles backfield again in Week 9. He scored a touchdown and gained 82 yards on 19 carries. He added another yard on his lone reception. Howard's touchdown was a 13-yard run in the third quarter. Howard out-touched Miles Sanders 20-to-13 and should continue to be the leader […]

Carson Wentz Throws Just One Touchdown in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz led his team to another win in Week 9 despite a less-than-stellar fantasy performance. He completed 26 of his 39 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown. He added four runs for 15 more yards on the ground. Kicker Jake Elliott and the Eagles running game were all the team […]

DeSean Jackson Aggravates Injury In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) aggravated his injury in Week 9 against the Bears and is questionable to return. Jackson returned for the first time since Week 2, but he had just one catch for five yards on his only target before going back to the sidelines. It's not a good sign for […]

Geremy Davis Inactive In Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Geremy Davis (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Packers. Davis hasn't been fantasy relevant with three catches for 38 yards in two games this year, but his absence will allow Andre Patton to emerge in three-receiver sets. There won't be enough to go around behind Keenan […]

Davante Adams Officially Active Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is officially active for Week 9 against the Chargers. Adams will be on the field for the first time since he suffered a turf toe injury on Sept. 26 against the Eagles. There might be some rust to shake off and he'll be shadowed by cornerback Casey […]

Darius Slay Returning For Lions Defense

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) is active for Week 9 against the Raiders. Defensive tackle Damon Harrison (groin) is also active, giving the Lions a boost against the Oakland offense on Sunday. However, defensive back Tracy Walker (knee) and defensive tackle Mike Daniels (foot) are out. Slay's return to action is bad news for […]

Cameron Brate Active Against Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (ribs) is officially active for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Brate was listed as questionable but wasn't really in any danger of missing this game. Although he didn't capitalize with O.J. Howard (hamstring) out in Week 8, Brate has the opportunity to put up TE1 numbers against Seattle […]

Corey Crawford Briefly Exits Game, Able to Return in Loss

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford allowed four goals on 44 shots from the Kings in a 4-3 overtime loss on Saturday. While it was one of Crawford's better outings this year, it is more notable because Crawford was temporarily removed from the game after taking a shot to the facemask. Crawford was able to return […]

Struggles Continue for Ilya Kovalchuk in Kings Win

Los Angeles Kings forward Ilya Kovalchuk put a game-high five shots on net but was unable to convert on any of them, giving him his sixth consecutive game without a goal. Kovalchuk has three goalless streaks of at least six games last year on his way to a career-low 0.25 goals per game rate. Now […]

Jacoby Brissett Injured Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) was forced to leave the Week 9 game against the Steelers early after one of his teammates fell into his left knee. Brissett was in a lot of pain on the ground but was able to limp off the field. He's questionable to return. Brian Hoyer has taken over […]

D.J. Chark Struggles Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark caught four passes for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. He was targeted a team-high nine times. The Texans allowed the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers coming into this game, so Chark was a must-start fantasy option in virtually all leagues. That makes […]

Chris Conley Quiet Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley had only two receptions for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. He was targeted seven times. Against a weak Texans secondary, Conley was a popular flex play with Dede Westbrook out, but the Jaguars just couldn't get their passing game going. Conley is worth a roster […]

Ryquell Armstead Involved In Passing Game

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ryquell Armstead didn't have a single carry in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, but he did catch five passes for 65 yards. Much of that production came late when the Jaguars' chances of winning were done, so don't rush out and grab Armstead in PPR leagues just yet, but it'll […]

Adam Thielen Is Questionable To Return Against Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) has re-aggravated his injury and is questionable to return in Week 9's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Thielen only lasted a few possessions before being pulled and didn't catch his only target on a bad throw from Kirk Cousins. It looks like Thielen's day is finished - […]
