Mets Hire Carlos Beltran As Manager

The New York Mets hired former All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran as their new manager on Friday. He'll receive a three-year deal with an option for a fourth season. The nine-time All-Star played for New York from 2005 to 2011, but this will be his first gig as a manager in the big leagues. Beltran spent […]

Chiefs Activate Chad Henne From Injured Reserve

The Kansas City Chiefs activated quarterback Chad Henne (ankle) from the Injured Reserve on Saturday, which is another indication that Patrick Mahomes (knee) will miss another week. The Chiefs will work Henne out before the game against the Vikings to see if he'll be active as Matt Moore's backup. With Mahomes on track to return […]

Drew Lock To Resume Practicing Soon

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) is expected to resume practicing ahead of the Week 11 game against the Vikings. Lock has been on Injured Reserve all season, but it looks like he'll be designated to return, especially now that Joe Flacco's (neck) season is over. In the meantime, Denver will roll with Brandon […]

Mason Crosby A Solid Start In Week 9

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a strong first half of the year. The 35-year-old made at least two field goals or two extra-points in seven of eight games. He's 11 of 12 on field goals and has made all 26 extra-points this year. Playing on a Packers team that scores 26.9 points per […]

Adrian Peterson Taken Off Injury Report

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) returned to a full practice on Friday after missing the previous two days, and he was taken off the final injury report for Week 9 against the Bills. The 34-year-old battle through an ankle sprain last Thursday and will be good to go this Sunday. He has 20-plus […]

Adam Thielen Will Be Game-Time Decision

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring), who is questionable for Week 9 against the Chiefs, will test his right hamstring before the game to determine if he'll be active. Thielen missed last Thursday's game and was limited in practice this week while wearing a sleeve on his leg. Even at less than 100 percent […]

Jets Defense A Decent Streaming Option At Miami

The New York Jets Defense has been a disappointing unit this season, but a matchup at Miami puts them in the streaming conversation for Week 9. Fantasy owners that turn to the Jets will be doing it just for the matchup as the team will be out multiple starters and just traded Leonard Williams, a […]

Sam Ficken Not A Starting Option

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken should get more opportunities to see the field in Week 9 at Miami, but is still not a recommended starter for fantasy. Ficken has only attempted three field goals in six weeks with the team after being signed prior to Week 2. Ficken has been serviceable for New York […]

Amari Cooper Putting Off Contract Talks

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper said he'd prefer to wait until after the season to revisit contract-extension talks. There hasn't been much going on between Cooper and the Cowboys of late. There's no rush to get anything done in the middle of the season, and the Cowboys still need to consider an extension for […]

Ed Dickson To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee), who is still on the Injured Reserve, will be a game-time decision for Week 9 against the Buccaneers. Dickson has yet to make his season debut, but he could immediately become the team's top pass-catching tight end with Will Dissly out for […]

Lions Defense Won't Have Tracy Walker Sunday

Detroit Lions defensive back Tracy Walker (knee) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Raiders. Walker has been one of the most productive safeties in IDP leagues, so you'll have to look elsewhere if you've been rolling with him this year. His absence boosts the outlooks of Raiders […]

Tra Carson, Damon Harrison Questionable

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson (hamstring) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (groin) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 9 against the Raiders. Carson led the backfield in carries in the first week without Kerryon Johnson, but the Lions still operated as more of a three-headed monster with rookie […]

Cameron Brate Questionable Against Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (ribs) got in a full practice on Friday but is questionable for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Brate should be able to suit up and has another opportunity to produce as a tight end streamer with O.J. Howard (hamstring) out for the second straight game. Brate didn't capitalize […]

Ryan Griffin Is Touchdown-Dependent Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin had a big game in Week 8 at Jacksonville but is not a recommended start this week despite a good matchup. Griffin caught two touchdowns a week ago, but starter Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) has been practicing on a limited basis and may make his season debut Sunday […]

James White, Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Questionable

New England Patriots running back James White (toe), wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest, shoulder) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are questionable for Sunday night against the Ravens. Tight ends Ryan Izzo (concussion) and Matt LaCosse (knee) are also questionable. White is the one to watch here, as he was added to the injury report […]

David Johnson Expected To Return In Week 10

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back David Johnson (ankle) is expected to return in Week 10 against the Buccaneers. Johnson has been inactive the last two games and was a non-factor on several touches the week before. He should be back on the RB1 map next week against Tampa, although recently […]

Kristaps Porzingis Delivers Solid Outing During Defeat

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis came just a rebound shy of snagging a double-double during Friday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. While the effort was a solid one all around, including 16 points and nine rebounds, DFS owners will likely need more from the 7-foot-3 Latvian at his current price tag. Porzingis shot […]

Jimmy Graham A Risky Play In Week 9

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham gets a tough matchup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 32-year-old has 21 catches for 234 yards and three touchdowns on the season and has been a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option so far. Expect that trend to continue against the Chargers, who rank 11th in the NFL […]

Darren Sproles Will Return In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (quadriceps) got in a full practice on Friday and has been taken off the final injury report for Week 9 against the Bears. The 36-year-old hasn't played since Oct. 6 and isn't guaranteed to play a ton of snaps behind Jordan Howard and rookie Miles Sanders. Sproles has 15 […]

Anthony Davis Collects 31 Points In Victory

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis was the focal point of his team’s offense during its win Friday over the Dallas Mavericks. Davis, who made all 15 of his shots from inside the three-point line, finished with 31 points overall. On the heels of a 20-rebound effort his previous time out, Davis corralled eight […]

Jeff Heuerman Ruled Out

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Browns. Heuerman hasn't been fantasy relevant all year, but his absence is notable for rookie Noah Fant after posting season highs in catches (five) and targets (nine) in Week 8 against the Colts. It remains to be seen if […]

LeBron James Logs First Triple-Double Of Season

Los Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward LeBron James delivered a dominant triple-double during Friday’s victory over the Dallas Mavericks, compiling 39 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds. The performance marked James’ first triple-double of 2019-20, while having also added four steals and four made triples across his 43 minutes. After a subdued start to the […]

Sterling Shepard Set To Return Monday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is set to return to action in Week 9 against the Cowboys on Monday night. It would be the first time that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones has all of Shepard, Saquon Barkley, Golden Tate and Evan Engram on the field […]

Geronimo Allison Can't Be Trusted Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. There should be opportunities for the 25-year-old, especially if fellow receiver Davante Adams (toe), is healthy and shadowed by elite Chargers' corner Casey Hayward. Much like Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Allison is dependent on a touchdown to return fantasy […]

Delanie Walker Ruled Out Against Panthers

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Panthers. It'll be Walker's second straight absence, and he's no lock to return in Week 10. The aging veteran has been dropped in most shallow leagues. Jonnu Smith should continue to benefit by Walker's […]

Patriots Activate N'Keal Harry

The New England Patriots are activating rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a source. The 32nd overall pick of the draft can make his NFL debut in Week 9 against the Ravens on Sunday night, but it's unclear how much playing time he'd receive if he's active. The […]

Malcolm Brogdon Scores Team-High 25 Points In Victory

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon scored a team-high 25 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field and 8-for-8 from the free throw line in Friday's 102-95 win over the Cavaliers. The 26-year-old added eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 33 minutes of action. Friday's game was the first time this season […]

Jeremy Lamb Scores 21 Points In Efficient Performance

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb scored 21 points on 7-for-13 shooting from field-goal range in Friday's 102-95 win over the Cavaliers. The 27-year-old missed two games following the season opener with a hip injury, but since returning he is averaging 23.0 points per game in two contests. Lamb added a season-high 10 rebounds to go […]

Domantas Sabonis Records Double-Double In Victory

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis finished with his third double-double of the season in Friday's 102-95 win over the Cavaliers, recording 18 points and 17 rebounds in 37 minutes of action. The 23-year-old added four assists and two blocks in another effective performance as a starter. With Myles Turner (ankle) sidelined for at least two […]

Collin Sexton Scores 21 Points In Loss

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton scored 21 points on 9-for-21 shooting from the field in Friday's 102-95 loss to the Pacers. The 20-year-old added three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two made threes in 37 minutes of action. Sexton has scored at least 16 points in all five games this season, giving him an […]
