Eric Ebron Struggles In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron has had some flashes of greatness this year. In Week 9, he did not have one. He caught both of his targets for just 16 yards. The Colts offense wasn't getting a lot going through the air, and that reduced Ebron's ceiling. He still makes his money in the […]

Frank Gore Rushes For 15 Yards In Week 9

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore had just 15 yards on 11 carries during the win over the Redskins in Week 9.

Cubs Pick Up Anthony Rizzo's Option

As expected, the Chicago Cubs picked up first baseman Anthony Rizzo's $16.5 million option for the 2020 season on Sunday, according to a league source. 2019 was Rizzo's second straight season with under 30 home runs -- he previously had four straight seasons with 30-plus round-trippers -- but he was otherwise consistent for fantasy owners […]

Zach Pascal Finds The End Zone In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal was the team's No. 1 wideout with wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) on the shelf for the week. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he played well.

Russell Westbrook To Play Sunday, Likely To Sit Monday

Houston Rockets point guard Russell Westbrook appears set to miss the second leg of his team’s back-to-back Monday against Memphis after having been cleared to play Sunday versus Miami. Westbrook, who has notched four double-doubles and two triple-doubles thus far in 2019-20, is a strong DFS candidate Sunday due to his low price tag in […]

Josh Allen Leads Bills To Sixth Win

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen went 14-for-20 passing for 160 yards and two total touchdowns during the win over the Redskins on Sunday. Allen threw his lone touchdown pass in the first quarter, connecting on a six-yard toss to Cole Beasley, who has scored in each of his last three games, before running it in […]

Brian Hoyer Plays Well In Relief

Dalvin Cook Totals 116 Yards In Week 9 Loss

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried 21 times for 71 yards in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Two of Elliott's field goals came from 28 yards out and the other from 38 yards. He handled most of the scoring for the Eagles in this one and should continue to […]

Marlon Mack Is Average In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack had a solid day in Week 9, as he finished with 21 carries for 89 yards, but he had no targets or touchdowns on the day.

Olabisi Johnson Has Two Catches And A Score

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson caught one of two targets for a four-yard touchdown in Week 9's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was Johnson's second touchdown of the season, but the lack of target share in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) paints a less-than-rosy picture for his prospects moving forward. Johnson […]

Maximilian Kleber is Questionable on Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's dealing with a sore right knee, but it doesn't sound like a serious issue. Kleber is most likely going to suit up, but Boban Marjanovic would see some minutes without him. Kleber is worth a look in […]
