Miguel Sano Hits Game-Winning Grand Slam

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a 9-5 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader. Sano's first career slam was a big one as he broke a 5-5 tie in the eighth inning. The veteran power hitter is batting .239 with […]

Mark Ingram Owners Need To Have Gus Edwards

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards played more snaps (38.16%) than starter Mark Ingram (32.89%) in Week 1, but Ingram is the clear starter in the Ravens backfield. Last week, Edwards saw an increase in playing time because Ingram's shoulder was banged up and the Ravens had a large lead over the Miami Dolphins. Edwards […]

Miles Boykin Should Remain On Waivers

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Miles Boykin played only 23.68% of the offensive snaps in Week 1. Boykin would have come up extremely small for fantasy purposes if he didn't score a touchdown on his only target of the game. That being said, the Notre Dame product may be the best red-zone threat the Ravens have […]

Nyheim Hines' Stock Is Falling

In Week 1, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines caught all four of his targets for just four yards. He also added four carries for 13 yards. In Week 2, he's nothing more than a dart throw in very deep leagues. During his rookie season, Hines' value came from his volume in the passing game […]

Zay Jones Not A Viable Starting Option

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones caught two passes for 18 yards in Week 1. He was targeted four times in the game. He's the team's No. 2 receiver on paper, but slot receiver Cole Beasley will be soaking up many of the targets that would be going to a No. 2 receiver in most […]

T.J. Yeldon Should Remain On Waivers

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon only played two offensive snaps in the Bills' opening game against the Jets in Week 1 and there's little reason to believe that will change much in Week 2. He's the clear third-string running back in a rushing offense that's yet to get going. Veteran Frank Gore is the […]

Demaryius Thomas Questionable Against Browns

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is questionable to play on Monday night against the Browns in Week 2. Thomas hasn't practiced all week and is probably on the wrong side of questionable for this one. Quincy Enunwa's season-ending injury is good news for Thomas having a role with Gang Green this year, […]

Mark Andrews Expected To Play

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals despite being held out of practice Friday with a foot injury. Andrews caught all eight of his targets in Week 1 against Miami for 108 yards and a touchdown. He also caught three of quarterback Lamar Jackson's five […]

Albert Pujols Hitting Cleanup Saturday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols will start and hit cleanup Saturday against the Rays. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer has cooled off lately, slugging only .385 over his last seven games. Pujols is clearly in the back-half of his career but has done a decent job as a run producer this season. […]

Kole Calhoun Has Three Home Runs In Last Two Games

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun is starting and hitting third as the team takes on the Rays on Saturday. With Mike Trout sidelined, Calhoun has been tasked with driving in runs and has delivered the past few games. Calhoun cranked a home run on Thursday and then backed it up with two more home […]

Brian Goodwin In 2-For-27 Slump

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin will bat leadoff as the team takes on the Rays on Saturday. Goodwin is scuffling at the plate, going 2-for-27 over his last seven games and is hitting only .193 over his last 15. After slugging .667 in the month of August, Goodwin is limping his way to the […]

Yordan Alvarez Not In Lineup Saturday

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez will get the night off Saturday against the Royals. With teammate Michael Brantley struggling it looks like the team is trying to keep Brantley in the lineup but keep his legs fresh by playing DH. After a slight lull at the plate, Alvarez has come back with a vengeance, […]

Justice Hill Could Have Trouble In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was limited to 27 rushing yards and no touchdowns on seven carries in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. The Ravens gave the ball to all three backfield options in the opening drive against Miami and it's clear they will be looking to utilize all three as the season […]

Yuli Gurriel Hitting Fifth On Saturday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is hitting fifth Saturday against the Royals. Gurriel returned to the lineup on September 12 after missing several games with left hamstring tightness and appears to be almost at full strength. It has been a dynamite year for Gurriel, who has surprised many in the fantasy community. Gurriel enters […]

Alex Bregman Has Cooled Off After Scorching Streak

Houston Astros shortstop Alex Bregman has cooled off a touch over the last seven days, hitting only .222 over his last 18 at-bats heading into Saturday's action. This comes on the heels of an absolutely blistering streak of production on offense and still is slashing .350/.469/.675 in the month of September. It merely has been […]

Michael Brantley Enduring Rough September

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is going through his worst offensive stretch of the season as the team takes on the Royals on Saturday. On a highly dangerous offensive team, Brantley has been the most consistent force all season. But Brantley is hitting only .169 over his last 53 at-bats and currently is slugging only […]

Jose Altuve Hitting .360 Over Last Seven Games

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is slashing .360/.407/.800 over his last seven games heading into Saturday's action against the Royals. Altuve is posting a 1.022 OPS in the month of September as he continues his torrid streak in the second half of the season. Since the All-Star break, Altuve is slashing .344/.395/.651 with 14 […]

Willie Snead A WR4/5 In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead caught two of three targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. Snead is the third receiver on the depth chart being Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin but was targeted more than Boykin in Week 1. Expect Brown and tight end Mark Andrews to […]

George Springer Slugging .768 Over Last 56 At-Bats

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer will hit leadoff Saturday against the Royals. The Astros slugger has six home runs over his last eight games and is slugging .768 over his last 56 at-bats. Springer also cranked out his 35th home run of the season on Friday, which is a new career-high. Springer has missed time […]

Gerrit Cole Now Eight K's Shy Of 300

Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole struck out 11 batters en route to eight shutout innings to pick up the win against the Royals on Friday. Cole (17-5) continues to have a career season as he approaches his impending free agency and has struck 10-plus batters in each of his last six starts. Cole now has […]

Mark Ingram A Full Participant in Friday's Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday despite being listed as questionable for Week 2. Expect Ingram to lead the backfield in touches against a Cardinals Defense that allowed the most rushing yards in the league in 2018 (2,479). The Cardinals only gave up 116 rushing yards […]

Zack Greinke Goes For Sixth Win As Astro

Houston Astros starter Zack Greinke will take the mound Saturday looking for his sixth win in his last eight starts against his former team in the Royals. Greinke (15-5) has been as advertised since being traded by the Diamondbacks at the deadline, posting a 2.90 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over his last 43 1/3 innings. […]

Minnesota Vikings Defense A Top-12 Start In Week 2

The Minnesota Vikings Defense faces off with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on the road in Week 2. The Packers and their new head coach Matt LaFleur racked up just 10 points and 213 yards in Week 1's win against the Chicago Bears. They looked out-of-sync all night and are facing a stiff […]

Lamar Jackson Has Favorable Matchup

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has good potential for another nice outing against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2. The Week 1 star faces a Cardinals Defense that allowed the fourth-most passing yards in the league in 2018 (3,262). The Cardinals defense allowed Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford to throw for 385 yards and three touchdowns […]

Mike Trout Remains Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (foot) remains out of the lineup as the team prepares to take on the Rays on Saturday. Trout has not played since September 7 and his status continues to be day-to-day. For fantasy owners, this is devastating news as the best offensive player in the game cannot produce during […]

Don't Expect Magic From Ryan Fitzpatrick

Coming off an uninspiring performance in Week 1, the future doesn't look much brighter for Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in a Week 2 home matchup with the New England Patriots. Fitzpatrick completed 14-for-29 passes for 185 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his first start for the Dolphins but most of the damage […]

Stephen Gostkowski Will Be Elite Option In Week 2

New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski will have a prime matchup against a talent-challenged Dolphins team in Week 2. Gostkowski was a perfect 4-for-4 in Week 1 against the Steelers, including nailing all three of his extra points. Expect the veteran kicker to have another active game and should be a top scorer at his […]

Patriots Defense Gets Boost Against Rebuilding Dolphins

The New England Patriots Defense was fantastic in Week 1 and will have another chance to shine against a young and rebuilding Dolphins team this Sunday. The Patriots defense held the Steelers to only three points and the team's secondary did an excellent job locking down Pittsburgh's offensive weapons. Now they will go up against […]

Tyler Eifert Looks To Build On Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert was able to make it through Week 1 without injury while registering a modest five-catch, 27-yard performance. Although fellow tight end CJ Uzomah played more snaps (70.67%) than Eifert (49.33%) in Week 1, Eifert participated in a greater percentage of the Bengals passing routes, meaning Uzomah is being asked […]

Stefon Diggs In WR2 Territory For Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs should be viewed as a WR2 ahead of Week 2's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, as he appears fully healthy and figures to see more than the two targets he received in Week 1's run-heavy game. His potential CB-matchups are also favorable (he toasted Jaire Alexander for 8/77/1 […]
