Ricky Rubio Ruled Out Against Clippers

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Rubio downplayed the left knee injury, but it's a back-to-back set so that probably factored into it. Jevon Carter and Tyler Johnson will split up the minutes. Neither player should be a reliable option in this one.

George Springer Looks To Spark Astros

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer went 2-for-4 and reached base three times in the Astros 4-1 win over the Nationals in Game 3 of the World Series. Springer will hit leadoff in Saturday's pivotal Game 4 and will face Nationals starter Patrick Corbin. Springer has multiple hits in two of his last three games and, […]

Chargers Defense Could Have Streaming Value

The Los Angeles Chargers Defense could have value as a streaming defense against the Chicago Bears if they are able to get to quarterback Mitch Trubisky. The Bears offensive line has not been an effective unit this season, giving up 15 sacks in six games. That lack of protection could give the Chargers an opportunity, with […]

Jake Marisnick Gets Starting Nod For Game 4

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick will start and hit eighth in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday. With National left-handed starter Patrick Corbin on the mound, veteran Josh Reddick will come off the bench in this pivotal game. This is quite a gamble from manager A.J. Hinch as Marisnick has seen only four […]

Chase McLaughlin Shouldn't Be Started

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Chase McLaughlin shouldn't be started this week against the Chicago Bears. While the Chargers kicker has been relatively accurate this season, he has missed two field goals, although he converted all of his attempts against the Tennessee Titans last week. However, the Chargers are unlikely to be a high-scoring offense this […]

Adam Eaton White-Hot Heading Into Game 4

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton is enjoying a fantastic World Series thus far, going 6-for-12 (.500) through the first three games heading into Game 4. Eaton also will take a seven-game playoff hitting streak into the game and is 10-for-29 (.344) with six runs batted in during that span. The veteran table-setter has also done […]

Hunter Henry A Likely Starter Against Chicago This Week

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry is likely a starting option this week against the Chicago Bears, despite the matchup. The Bears have been one of the better units against tight ends this season, giving up an average of just 7.8 points to the position. However, they haven't faced a tight end that is […]

Injured Kurt Suzuki Not In Game 4 Lineup

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (hip) is not in the lineup for Game 4 of the World Series against the Nationals. The veteran has been struggling with other minor injuries for the past two months and exited Game 3 early with a right hip flexor injury. Suzuki is only 3-for-30 this postseason and some of […]

Matt Ryan Ruled Out for Week 8

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan was able to get in some limited practices this week but will sit out at least one game to heal from his ankle injury. The ancient Matt Schaub will get the start for the Falcons, meaning […]

Yan Gomes Gets Game 4 Start

Washington Nationals catcher Yan Gomes will start and hit eighth against the Astros in Game 4 of the World Series. Gomes will replace the injured Kurt Suzuki and will be thrown right into the fire in a pivotal game. Gomes has not played since October 15 and is hitting .286 in 14 postseason at-bats with […]

Jose Altuve Slugging .600 In World Series

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will try and tie up the World Series at 2-2 in Game 4 against the Nationals on Saturday. Altuve continues to provide exceptional offense at the plate and is slugging .600 in the first three World Series games with three doubles. It has been another fantastic postseason offensively for […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/26/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Welcome to NBA Saturday night! We have a fun slate of nine games on our hands with plenty of options at each position. As always, there are a ton of ways to go in tournaments. This is just a few of my favorite plays on the slate. Let's dive in! In this article, I will […]

Mike Williams Has Touchdown Upside

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has touchdown upside this week against the Chicago Bears, which is going to be crucial for his fantasy outlook. Williams saw a fall-off in his targets last week, bringing him back to the levels he has typically seen throughout his career, which damages his outlook. However, the big-bodied […]

Michael Brantley Rides Hot Streak Into Game 4

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is streaking at the plate right now and will try to keep it going into Game 4 of the World Series. Brantley went 2-for-4 with two RBI-singles in Game 3 and the veteran is now 6-for-15 (.400) over his last four playoff games. After a slow start to his postseason, […]

Keenan Allen A Low-End WR1 For Chicago Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is a low-end WR1 this week in his matchup against Chicago, assuming that he plays. Allen has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has limited his participation in practice, and he likely will be a game-time decision. However, if he is able to play, then he should […]

Austin Ekeler Has Flex Consideration Against Chicago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler should be considered as a flex option for his matchup against the Chicago Bears. Ekeler has seen a reduction in carries since Melvin Gordon returned to the team, but he still has been heavily involved in the passing game. The Chicago Bears have given up an average of […]

Melvin Gordon Could Be In Line For Big Performance

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon could be in line for a big performance against the Chicago Bears this week. Gordon hasn't performed well since his return from his early-season holdout, due in part to the struggles of the offensive line, but this game offers a get-right opportunity. The Chargers are set to welcome […]

Drew Brees Expected to Start in Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) is expected to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals "barring an unforeseen setback". Teddy Bridgewater did an excellent job in place of Brees, but all Saints skill position players will get a nice uptick in value with Brees under center. The Saints have a bye week next […]

Philip Rivers A Borderline Streaming Option Against Chicago

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is a borderline streaming option for his matchup against the Chicago Bears. Rivers is likely to welcome his starting left tackle Russell Okung (heart) back for the first time this season, and crucially the Chicago Bears Defense isn't the same without defensive tackle Akiem Hicks. However, the Bears have […]

Jake Kumerow Has Fantasy Value In Deep Leagues This Week

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow has fantasy value in deep leagues in Week 8, but only if things break his way. During the preseason, Kumerow seemed to be the next man up for the Packers if any of their receivers missed time, but it has been Allen Lazard who has seen more of […]

Allen Lazard Has Value Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard has value in deeper leagues this week against the Kansas City Chiefs due to injured receivers on the team. Davante Adams (toe) has missed the past two matchups and is doubtful for this one, vacating targets for the offense. Lazard played the most snaps among receivers last week and […]

Fantasy Running Back Failures - Joe Mixon, Damien Williams, David Montgomery

The running back remains the most coveted player in fantasy football. In the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC), nine of the first 14 players drafted on average were running backs. In most leagues, you must start at least two RBs, and you can start a third at a flex spot. The position is regarded as […]

Rhett Ellison Not Playable On Sunday

New York Giants back-up tight end Rhett Ellison isn’t playable on Sunday with Evan Engram (knee) still in the lineup. Ellison may have caught a touchdown last week, but the Cardinals game was sloppy and Engram was only in his first game back. Ellison may be an interesting stash in deeper leagues if the Giants […]

Daniel Jones Has Good Matchup on Sunday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has another positive matchup on Sunday versus the Lions. The Lions secondary will be short-handed with Darius Slay out and Quandre Diggs traded, which should open up opportunities for Jones. The rookie hasn’t been particularly good since his first start against Tampa Bay, so he’s not on the streaming […]

Chris Conley Isn't Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley was targeted eight times in Week 7, catching three passes for 83 yards. But between Week 3 and Week 6, Conley had a combined four receptions for 73 yards, and one strong week doesn't change the fact that Conley is the fourth option on a team that doesn't pass […]

D.J. Chark Has Risk In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark finished third on the team in targets in Week 7, a potential sign that his role as the team's top receiver is being threatened by Dede Westbrook. Chark's been a solid fantasy option this year because he's scored five touchdowns, but he's also finished with under 50 receiving yards […]

Dede Westbrook Is Back To Being Solid Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook got off to a slow start this year, but he's been targeted at least eight times in three straight games and is coming off his first 100-yard outing of the season. While the Jets are better against the pass than against the run, Westbrook's volume makes him a fine […]

Leonard Fournette Primed For Big Game

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is set to have a strong game on Sunday when the Jaguars host the New York Jets. The Jets allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs but have done a pretty good job against passing games, which sets Fournette up for a heavy workload. The […]

Gardner Minshew Doesn't Have Great Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew isn't a great option in single-quarterback leagues in Week 8 when the Jaguars face the New York Jets. New York allows the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and held Tom Brady to just one touchdown pass in Week 7. Minshew has just one passing touchdown over the past two […]

Browns Bench LT Greg Robinson

The Cleveland Browns have benched starting left tackle Greg Robinson ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots. Robinson is expected to be replaced in the starting lineup by Justin McCray this weekend, although Freddie Kitchens wouldn't tip his hand when asked. Robinson has drawn criticism from general manager John Dorsey this […]
