49ers Defense Records A Shutout

The San Francisco 49ers Defense continued its dominant run, shutting out the Washington Redskins in Week 7. Aided by a wet field, the Niners limited the Skins to 154 meaningless yards, collecting three sacks and recovering a fumble in the process. A driving force behind the team’s undefeated start, San Francisco’s defensive unit continues to […]

Alex Erickson Leads The Way In Week 7

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson finished with a game-high eight receptions (14 targets) for 137 yards in the loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. Though Tyler Boyd received an equal amount of looks from quarterback Andy Dalton, his five catches for 55 yards opened the door for increased production from Erickson on a day […]

De'Andre Hunter Will Start to Begin the Season

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter will start at small forward to begin the regular season. Head coach Lloyd Pierce confirmed this move after an impressive preseason from the rookie. He'll be joined by Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, John Collins, and Alex Len in the starting five. Hunter is worth grabbing in the last few rounds […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Plays Another Nondescript Game

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 12 of 21 passes for 151 yards, no scores and an interception in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. He also ran four times for 20 yards. The Niners leaned on their defense and wet conditions to overmatch the Redskins in the 9-0 shutout. The nondescript performance from […]

Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out for Season Opener

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's been dealing with a left foot stress reaction since August. Kuzma has not been cleared for contact work yet, so his timetable is a bit unclear at the moment. He's worth drafting if […]

Giovani Bernard Barely Involved Once Again

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard finished with no yards on four attempts in addition to four yards off of two receptions against the Jaguars in Week 7. As the team's offensive woes continue, the veteran is having one of his worst seasons as a professional. As the Bengals continue to be plagued with a […]

George Kittle Negated In Wet Conditions

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle recorded 38 yards on three catches in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. The Niners managed just 151 pass yards in a wet and sloppy contest, resulting in Kittle’s lowest production of 2019. His five targets still led the squad. The Niners return home in Week 8 to […]

Joe Mixon Scores A Touchdown Against Jags

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon rushed for just two yards on 10 attempts against the Jaguars on Sunday. While he was able to bring in a two-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Andy Dalton, it was a disappointing outing overall for those who were hoping for a turnaround in Week 7. With the Bengals unable […]

Dante Pettis And Marquise Goodwin Listless In D.C.

Neither San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Dante Pettis nor Marquise Goodwin caught a pass in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. The two receivers garnered three total targets in a sloppy contest dominated by the Niners defense. After a week of fantasy buzz, Pettis will fall back with Goodwin in fantasy obsolescence as zero-floor WR5s […]

Kevon Looney Should Be Ready by Thursday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) was able to get through the team's scrimmage on Sunday. Looney will probably start at center for the regular season opener against the Clippers on Thursday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors are a bit banged up at center, so Looney is a safe late round […]

Rodney McGruder is Unsure for Tuesday's Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) is unsure if he'll be able to suit up for Tuesday's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to head coach Doc Rivers. It's unclear how much progress he's making, but the Clippers are likely to be cautious at the beginning of the season. Maurice Harkless […]

Andy Dalton Brutalized By Jags On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton wasn't able to get anything going against Jacksonville in Week 7. While the veteran was able to accumulate 276 yards and two total touchdowns on the day, the Jaguars Defense was relentless by recording interceptions on three-straight drives, with one of those picks being returned for a score. Dalton is […]

Alen Smailagic Could Play in Season Opener

Golden State Warriors forward Alen Smailagic (ankle) has a chance to be cleared for Thursday's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was getting in some extra work after practice on Sunday, so that's a good sign moving forward. However, he shouldn't have a big enough role off the bench to make an […]

Kyle Rudolph Breaks Out For 58 Yards And A Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught 5-of-6 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 7. Rudolph connected with Kirk Cousins on a 15-yard score in the fourth quarter, Rudolph's first touchdown catch of the year. Adam Thielen (hamstring) left the game early, meaning guys like Rudolph, Olabisi Johnson, and Irv Smith Jr. […]

Isaiah Thomas Unlikely to Play on Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas (thumb) is not expected to suit up for Wednesday's regular season opener against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Scott Brooks said "We're going to do what's best for him," so the Wizards will be cautious with him right now. The team isn't going to rush Thomas back, so it's unlikely […]

Stefon Diggs Catches Seven Passes For 142 Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught 7-of-8 targets for 142 scoreless yards in Week 7's win over the Detroit Lions. Adam Thielen (hamstring) leaving the game in the first quarter concentrated targets to Diggs, but the four receiving touchdowns went to Thielen, C.J. Ham, Kyle Rudolph, and Olabisi Johnson. Diggs got dragged down just […]

Dante Fowler Has Big Game

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Dante Fowler had seven tackles (six solo), three sacks and a pass defense against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. His tackles and sacks were both team highs. Fowler is a fringe player to own in individual defensive player leagues, but this might put him over the hump and onto rosters.

Rams Defense Comes Up Big

The Los Angeles Rams Defense had a big day against the Atlanta Falcons with five sacks, two fumble recoveries, one that went for a touchdown, an interception and just 10 points allowed. They have upside next week against the Cincinnati Bengals and are a midrange start for Week 8.

Gerald Everett Bounces Back

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett caught four receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. Everett was targeted a team-high 10 times in the game. He'll have a tough matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals next week. The Bengals have only allowed tight ends to grab 13 balls […]

Tyler Higbee With Just One Catch

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had just one catch for eight yards on his only target against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. Higbee will have games like these, but the team spreads the ball around enough for him to still have a spot on rosters as a backup. He's not an option against the […]

Robert Woods Leads The Way

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods led the team with 80 receiving yards on five catches in Week 7. He was targeted seven times against the Atlanta Falcons. He'll be worth flex consideration again in Week 8 with a tougher matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams spread the ball around, and he could […]

Cooper Kupp Fails To Find Separation

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had six grabs for 50 yards in the Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The line was decent in point-per-reception leagues, but it was underwhelming considering the matchup. He was second on the team with eight targets. He'll face a tougher Cincinnati Bengals matchup next week, but […]

Brandin Cooks Has Mediocre Day

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught four balls for 59 yards in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. Cooks was targeted seven times, which tied for third on the team. He'll have a tougher matchup next week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are among the better half of teams that have defended […]

Darrell Henderson Ineffective

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson rushed 11 times for 31 yards in Week 7 and caught an eight-yard pass against the Atlanta Falcons. It was the most action he has seen in his rookie season, but he wasn't able to do much with it. Running back Malcolm Brown's (ankle) status next week will […]

Todd Gurley Finds The End Zone

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 18 times for 41 yards in Week 7, but he caught a 13-yard touchdown pass to salvage the ineffective day on the ground. The good news is that was the most rushing attempts that he has had all season after missing last week with a quadriceps injury. […]

Fantasy Basketball Draft Busts: Centers

A key part of doing a fantasy draft is avoiding players who find themselves in a bad situation. The wrong pick can completely tank your season. Today, let's talk about some potential busts at the center position. For whatever reason -- be it talent, opportunity, or some combination of those two things -- these are […]

Jared Goff Rights The Ship

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff bounced back with 268 passing yards and two touchdowns in a blowout of the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. Goff was 22-for-37, didn't throw any picks and rushed for a touchdown as well. This comes after he threw for just 78 yards last week. He'll have a fabulous matchup […]

Dalvin Cook Posts Monster Week 7 Line In Victory

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook tallied 25 carries for 142 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7's 42-30 win over the Detroit Lions. He also added one catch for seven yards. This was Cook's league-leading fifth 100-yard rushing game and he now has six touchdowns on the ground in what's becoming a breakout campaign […]

Trey Quinn Struggles Yet Again In Loss

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn led the team in receiving yards on Sunday against the 49ers. This is a meaningless development, of course, because all that it means is he totaled more than 18 yards. Quinn turned in a familiar stat line with two receptions for 30 yards, while no one else on the […]

Cedi Osman: 2019-20 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

In just two short seasons, Cedi Osman has certainly experienced the highs and lows of NBA basketball. His rookie campaign was spent mostly on the bench as LeBron James dragged the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Finals. Year 2 saw Osman replace James in the starting lineup, affording him ample opportunity to show off his game. […]
