Week 8 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 7 in DFS proved to be the week of the quarterback plays. And we're not just talking top names either. Sure, Aaron Rodgers exploded for a HUGE day (429 yards and 6 total TDs), but it was the players behind him that helped owners cash in. Matthew Stafford, Jacoby Brissett, and Ryan Fitzpatrick all […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Corey Davis, Curtis Samuel, Mohamed Sanu

No Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson this week? No problem! Fantasy football players might need to make do without one or more of their superstars this week due to the dreaded bye week putting the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys on a one-week vacation. Daily fantasy contest players will also have […]

Dede Westbrook Expected To Play Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder/neck) is expected to play Sunday against the New York Jets. While the Jets have been near the middle of the league against the pass this year, Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew has failed to complete 50 percent of his passes for two consecutive games. The Jaguars passing attack isn't […]

Jonathan Drouin Scores Twice In Saturday's Win

Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin potted a pair of goals Saturday night to help the team grab a 5-2 win against Toronto. Brendan Gallagher, Joel Armia and Nick Suzuki also scored for the Habs, who hadn't beaten the Leafs in regulation since January 2017. Drouin had blanked in two consecutive games after starting the season […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Expected To Play

When the Oakland Raiders face the Houston Texans on Sunday, the Raiders are expected to have running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) ready to go and to have wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) return to the field. Jacobs remains a must start option, but Williams is the interesting one here. If he has a full workload […]

Bears Plan To Run David Montgomery, Others More

The Chicago Bears and head coach Matt Nagy are reportedly unhappy with how few run plays Nagy has been calling, with Nagy vowing to run the ball more on Sunday when the Bears face the Chargers. Rookie David Montgomery should be the main beneficiary of this, and while confidence in Montgomery is fairly low at […]

Texans Defense Will Be Without Bradley Roby

The Houston Texans Defense will be missing one of their top cornerbacks again in Week 8, as Bradley Roby (hamstring) is out again for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Though the Texans traded for former Raider Gareon Conley, Roby's absence is a big blow to this defense. Expect a strong performance from Raiders quarterback Derek […]

Andre Drummond Picks Up A Double-Double Despite Foul Trouble

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond played only 25 minutes in Saturday's contest against Philadelphia before fouling out, but he still managed to post a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds. He had a very tough time on the line, shooting just 3-for-10, but he managed a decent 5-for-10 record with his field-goal attempts. Drummond […]

Patrick Mahomes Has Good Chance Of Returning Week 10

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is out Sunday against the Packers and will likely miss Week 9's meeting with the Vikings, but the team is optimistic that Mahomes will be back for a Week 10 meeting with the Titans. Matt Moore will quarterback the team until then, which lowers the ceiling of what […]

Jose Urquidy Goes Five Scoreless Innings And Gets Win

Urquidy came through huge for the Astros, who needed someone to step in and win a game in-between Zack Greinke and Gerrit Cole. He did exactly what was needed, giving up just two hits and striking out four through five scoreless innings. We may see Urquidy return to this series in the bullpen, and he's […]

Mr. Consistent has continued his ways into the World Series and now has eight total hits in four games. They're going to need him more than ever in game five, as Max Scherzer takes the mound at home in Nationals Park. The Astros and Nationals are tied up 2-2, so it's now a best-of-3 series. […]

Ben Simmons Tallies Career-High Seven Steals

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons registered his first double-double of the season on Saturday, finishing a 117-11 win over Detroit with 13 points and 10 assists. He went 5-for-13 from the field and 3-for-7 from the charity stripe. Simmons possibly played an even bigger part defensively as he snatched a career-high seven steals. His […]

Carlos Correa Walks Three Times in Game 4

Correa was extremely patient in game four, and he ended up working three walks in five at-bats. For a guy that sported just a 10.9% BB rate, Correa stepped up and did what was necessary to get this win. He's been hot this entire postseason and they'll need him for these last two wins. It'll […]

Al Horford Narrowly Misses A Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers center Al Horford was close to his first double-double of the season on Saturday, finishing a road win at Detroit with 23 points and nine rebounds. He shot 9-for-18 from the field and nailed two triples in 34 minutes on the floor. Horford also moved the ball well, finishing with five dimes. The […]

Tobias Harris Drops 29 Points On Detroit

Alex Bregman Goes 3-for-5 And Homers in Game 4 Win

The Astros tied the series up at 2-2 on the shoulders of Alex Bregman, who finished the game with five RBI's and a seventh-inning blast off of Fernando Rodney. Bregman has been nails in this World Series and is a candidate for MVP if the Astros can pull off the comeback. He doesn't give into […]

Julius Randle Collects Third Consecutive Double-Double

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle parlayed his excellent stretch of play in 2018-19 into a new deal this offseason. Through his first three games in New York, Randle is looking like exactly what the franchise expected when it brought him aboard, even if he delivered a subdued performance during the defeat to the […]

Jayson Tatum Nearly Tallies Double-Double During Win

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum finished just one rebound shy of a double-double during his team’s win over the New York Knicks on Saturday. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Tatum shot just 5-for-17 from the floor overall, giving him a 34.4 shooting percentage across his first three contests to open […]

Mitchell Robinson Perfect From Floor In 20-Minute Stint

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson was not a full go for Saturday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, but he impacted the game in a major way regardless. If an ankle injury is hampering Robinson, he showed no signs during his 20 minutes in which he made all seven shots that he attempted en route […]

RJ Barrett Paces Knicks With 26-Point Effort

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward RJ Barrett had his offensive arsenal on display during Saturday’s defeat to the Boston Celtics, compiling 26 points to lead the team.

Frank Kaminsky Continues To Produce In Deandre Ayton's Absence

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Frank Kaminsky continued to make his case for more minutes in Saturday's 130-122 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. In the two games since the suspension for Suns center Deandre Ayton was announced, Kaminsky has averaged 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 31 minutes per game. These performances should […]

Kawhi Leonard Stuffs The Box Score In Loss To Suns

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard was a stat-stuffing machine on Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns. While Leonard suffered his first defeat in a Clippers uniform, his fantasy owners were jumping for joy. His final line of 27 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, three steals and one block reminded every fantasy owner of […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Continues Scorching Start To The Season

Phoenix Suns small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. continued his red-hot start to the 2019-20 NBA season with his third straight 20-point game. Oubre was limited to a season-low 22 minutes of action because of five personal fouls, but he was still able to make a positive contribution to fantasy rosters on Saturday night against the […]

Devin Booker Has His First 30-Point Game Of The Season

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker carried his team to an impressive 130-122 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.

Harrell shot 90% from the field and was 10-for-11 from the free-throw […]

Alvin Kamara Out For Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) will miss Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Just like last week, expect a heavy dose of Latavius Murray in this one against a Cardinals Defense that has struggled at times this year. Quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) is back, so the Saints offense will likely be firing […]
