George Kittle Hoping For A Bounce-Back Game

Like his offensive teammates, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had a forgettable Week 7 in a slop fest against the Washington Redskins. While his test in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers is daunting, Kittle is poised for a bounce back. The weekly TE1 continues leading all Niners receivers in all pass-catching metrics, […]

49ers Defense Should Extend Nasty Streak

The San Francisco 49ers Defense is safe to fire up as a fantasy defensive unit in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. Led by the best defensive line according to Football Outsiders, the Niners have bagged 20 sacks and 13 takeaways during their undefeated start to 2019. The visiting Panthers boast a promising 4-2 record […]

Demaryius Thomas Hoping To Turn Targets Into Catches

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas will look to continue to get more involved in the offense this Sunday in Jacksonville. Thomas has gotten nine targets in two of the past three games and seems to be fully recovered from an early-season hamstring injury. Despite the target volume, Thomas doesn't have more than four […]

Saints Defense A Great Option In Week 8

The New Orleans Saints Defense will face rookie quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. It's a potentially great matchup for New Orleans, who ranks sixth in the NFL with 20 sacks. The Cardinals offensive line has allowed 23 sacks to Murray. The Saints should ramp up the pressure against Murray and […]

Ryan Griffin Likely Starting Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin will likely start again Sunday with starter Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) listed as doubtful for the game in Jacksonville. Griffin has started every game for the Jets this season with Herndon suspended and then injured, but Griffin hasn't been able to turn opportunity into success for fantasy owners. […]

Wil Lutz Could Be Busy Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz draws a good matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. The 25-year-old had four field-goal attempts in a game for the third time this season but missed two attempts last week. The Cardinals Defense has allowed 27.4 points per game to opposing offenses, 28th in the league. The […]

Josh Hill A Sneaky Sleeper Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill will start his second straight game in place of injured starter Jared Cook (ankle) in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 29-year-old caught all three targets for 43 yards and a touchdown against the Chicago Bears last week. It's too good of a matchup for Hill here, […]

Ted Ginn A Risky Flex In Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn has a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals but isn't a recommended start. Ginn has had at least five targets in four games with Teddy Bridgewater under center. Unfortunately, he hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards yet in these games and has caught just one […]

Chandler Jones An Iffy Start

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones is second among linebackers in fantasy points over the last five weeks. His 7.5 sacks is his forte, but he has a tough draw against the New Orleans Saints this week. The Saints have allowed just nine sacks in the last five games. Jones doesn't tackle enough to offset the […]

Mitchell Robinson Will Start Friday In Brooklyn

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will make his season debut and enter the starting lineup Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Robinson missed the season opener Wednesday due to an ankle injury. However, he was able to practice with no setbacks this week and seemed to be fully recovered. Robinson's return will push […]

KeeSean Johnson Not Worth The Risk

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson has done very little in wide receiver Christian Kirk's (ankle) absence, but there's a chance Kirk misses Week 8 as well. Johnson has seen steady targets, but he has little to show for it. He's worth stashing in dynasty leagues, but he's not worth the risk in traditional formats.

Larry Fitzgerald An Uninspiring Play

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has been pretty underwhelming over the last five weeks as he's 45th in fantasy points among receivers in standard formats. In his defense, the team has run the ball frequently, and no one has stepped up in wide receiver Christian Kirk's (ankle) absence. Kirk is a game-time decision, but […]

Chase Edmonds Worth The Play

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds broke out last week with 126 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and starting running back David Johnson (ankle) is a game-time decision. Edmonds is worth playing whether Johnson goes or not. It's not a good matchup against the New Orleans Saints, though. They've been one of the best against […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Will Not Play Friday Night

Utah Jazz guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) has been ruled out Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Bogdanovic suffered a left ankle sprain in Wednesday's season opener and will be unable to suit up in Los Angeles. With Bogdanovic ruled out, head coach Quin Snyder has room to play with the starting lineup. Joe Ingles […]

Kyler Murray A Back-End Option

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray sputtered in a great matchup last week as running back Chase Edmonds stole the show. The New Orleans Saints are a stout defense, but they bend to quarterbacks a bit. The Saints have been a midrange defense to the position the last five weeks. Murray is 10th among quarterbacks in […]

Travis Kelce Should Remain Reliable for Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has not caught a touchdown since Week 2, but has found a way to remain reliable for fantasy owners. However, losing quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) could be a significant blow to the Chiefs offense. They will have veteran Matt Moore under center for Sunday's Week 8 matchup versus […]

Mecole Hardman Loses Significant Value

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has been a reliable option for the team while Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins have been banged up early in the season. However, both players are healthy and active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against Green Bay. Hardman has hauled in at least two receptions in every game […]

Demarcus Robinson is Tough to Trust in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has been a low-end flex option basically all season and his value might actually take a dip. Both Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are healthy and active for Week 8 versus the Green Bay Packers. That means both Robinson and Mecole Hardman should lose value with Watkins returning. […]

Sammy Watkins Has Low-End WR3 Value in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will suit up for Week 8 versus the Green Bay Packers. Watkins has missed the last three games due to hamstring issues, but will play on Sunday. However, losing quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is going to significantly hurt the Chiefs offense. Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce might […]

Tyreek Hill Loses Value in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has caught three touchdowns since returning from injury two weeks ago. He was looking like an elite WR1 for fantasy owners until quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) went down. The Chiefs will go with Matt Moore at quarterback until Mahomes is healthy enough to play. Hill did catch a […]

LeSean McCoy An RB2 Against Green Bay

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has seen a majority of the workload in the backfield for the team over the last few weeks. Lead back Damien Williams has seen his carries basically disappear while McCoy gets more involved. The Chiefs are without quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) for possibly three weeks. They may decide […]

Damien Williams Has Low-End Flex Appeal

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has been basically a ghost on the field over the last two games. Williams has 13 rushing yards over the last two games and is becoming untrustworthy in fantasy formats. However, the Chiefs may lean on the running game more with quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) sidelined the next […]

Yordan Alvarez The Odd Man Out In Game 3

Houston Astros rookie outfielder Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the World Series against the Nationals on the road with the designated hitter no longer in play. Josh Reddick will stick in right field and will hit seventh on Friday against Nationals starter Anibal Sanchez. Alvarez took the league […]

Matt Moore Will Start Against Packers

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore will get the nod under center for Week 8 versus the Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is expected to miss three weeks after suffering an injury last week. Moore completed 10 of 19 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in the victory last Thursday. The Chiefs […]

Marquise Goodwin, Raheem Mostert Questionable

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) and running back Raheem Mostert (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Panthers. Goodwin has been a complete non-factor this year with 11 catches (16 targets) for 181 yards and a touchdown in six games. He has just two catches on four targets […]

Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Ruled Out

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Cook is missing his second straight game, while Smith hasn't suited up since Sept. 15. With Cook out, Josh Hill will be the team's top pass-catching […]

Alvin Kamara Questionable Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited the last two days in practice and is questionable for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Kamara sat out last week and could miss two straight games heading into the team's Week 9 bye. If he's playing, he's obviously a must-start, but he'd be at risk […]

Mike Scott Could Miss Saturday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Center Joel Embiid (ankle) missed practice on Friday and is listed as questionable as well. Veteran big man Al Horford might be asked to pick up heavy minutes in this one. Jonah Bolden could be asked to play […]

Emmanuel Sanders To Play A Lot In Debut

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that newly acquired wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will play "a lot" in his team debut in Week 8 against the Panthers. It could just be coach speak, as Sanders had very little time to learn and digest the team's playbook after coming over in a trade from […]

Cody Zeller Ruled Out Against Timberwolves

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Zeller played great during the season opener on Wednesday, but will miss this one due to personal reasons. Willy Hernangomez and Bismack Biyombo should see more minutes coming their way. PJ Washington was fantastic on Wednesday, so he's […]
