Yandy Diaz Leading Off Against A's

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (foot) is starting at first base and hitting leadoff against A's lefty Sean Manaea in the American League wild-card game on Wednesday. Diaz only played in 12 games in the second half because of a fractured foot, and he hit a weak .213/.275/.447 in 47 second-half at-bats with three […]

Patriots Putting Stephen Gostkowski On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots are placing kicker Stephen Gostkowski (undisclosed) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to a league source. The 35-year-old booter has been a staple for the team's kicking game for nearly a decade, so this is a big blow to New England's special teams moving forward. Gostkowski made seven of his […]

Yuli Gurriel Takes Career Year Into Postseason

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel has enjoyed the best season of his career and will look to keep it going when the team begins their playoff push this Friday. Gurriel posted a career-high 73 extra-base hits and drove in 104 runs. He raised his OPS from .751 last season to .884 this season thanks […]

Dallas Goedert Only a Deep League Option in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is only an option in deep leagues and two-tight end formats in Week 5. Even though the New York Jets Defense struggles in the passing game, they actually cover opposing tight ends fairly well. Like usual, Zach Ertz will get most of the tight end targets, leaving Goedert as […]

Zach Ertz Should Be a Top-Tier Tight End in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz should be a top-three tight end option in Week 5. The Eagles will host the New York Jets, and while the Jets Defense has been soft in the passing game, they've actually defended opposing tight ends quite well. Still, Ertz is not just any tight end and it looks […]

Kolten Wong Says He's Ready

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (hamstring) said he's "game-ready" for the National League Division Series against the Braves, which starts on Thursday. Wong missed the last 10 days of the regular season with a hamstring strain, but it looks like he'll be in the lineup in Game 1 against Braves lefty Dallas Keuchel. […]

Alex Bregman Ready To Lead Playoff Push

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman will be at the forefront of a powerful Astros lineup when the team begins their playoff push on Friday. Bregman last season slashed .292/.553/.625 with two doubles, two home runs, five runs batted in, eight runs scored and 11 walks through eight postseason games. Bregman also is heading into the […]

Braves Set NLDS Rotation, Julio Teheran Left Off Roster

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel will go in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Cardinals on Thursday, followed by Mike Foltynewicz in Game 2 and Mike Soroka in Game 3. Atlanta will leave starter Julio Teheran off the roster and go with a six-man bench and 11-man pitching staff. Josh […]

Jose Altuve Sports Impressive Postseason Resume

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is healthy, hitting and back in the postseason, a place that he has thrived over the past few seasons. Altuve was unstoppable in the 2017 playoffs and is hitting .295 with four doubles, eight home runs, 18 runs batted in and 22 runs scored over his last two playoff […]

Freddie Freeman Feeling Good Heading Into NLDS

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (elbow) said he felt good after taking part in a simulated game on Tuesday. "I didn’t feel my elbow at all. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow because I think I’m gonna be 100 percent," Freeman said. The All-Star first baseman missed time down the stretch due to bone […]

NHL DFS Prop Picks for 10/2/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Hockey season is here and that means more opportunities to play props and win with Monkey Knife Fight. There are four games on the NHL schedule Wednesday, including the Battle of Ontario, a matchup between the last two Stanley Cup winners, a rivalry game between San Jose and Vegas. Oh, and Vancouver and Edmonton meet […]

Ronald Acuna Expects To Be 100 Percent For NLDS

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (groin) took part in a simulated game on Tuesday and ran the bases without any issues with his groin. Manager Brian Snitker expects that Acuna will be 100 percent for the start of the National League Division Series against the Cardinals on Thursday. The superstar outfielder was limited down the […]

Carlos Correa Not A Slam Dunk To Make ALDS Roster

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) will have to successfully make it through his workouts over the next few days in order to make the Astros ALDS roster. Correa missed the final six games of the season with the back ailment, an issue that has plagued him the past few seasons. Correa and the team […]

Stefon Diggs Misses Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs is not practicing on Wednesday. He left the game briefly in Week 4 with an undisclosed injury, but it's unclear if this missed practice has anything to do with that. It's something to watch for now until we get more information on the situation. Diggs had his best game […]

Rams Defense A Low-End Option

The Los Angeles Rams Defense is coming off a rough week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they might be in store for a rebound against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are a good team, but they are tied for seventh-most fantasy points allowed per week to defensive teams. They've allowed 12 sacks and lost […]

Mark Andrews Misses Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) missed practice on Wednesday for the second straight week. The Ravens continue to limit Andrews in practice each week, but he has yet to miss a game and has found the end zone in three of four games to this point. The 24-year-old has been a favorite target […]

Gerald Everett Still A Factor

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett provided a spark with five grabs for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His eight targets were somewhat surprising since Tyler Higbee returned from a one-game absence due to injury. Everett could have some sneaky value at a cheap […]

Tyler Higbee Not Promising This Week

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee returned from a bruised lung to post four catches for 41 yards last week. They were solid numbers, but Higbee can't be counted on for consistent production like that devoid of touchdowns. Speaking of touchdowns, tight end Gerald Everett also posted five catches for 44 yards and reached […]

Malcolm Brown Not An Option

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown has done very little since he vultured two touchdowns in Week 1. The team has used the pass heavily through four weeks. Even while monitoring starting running back Todd Gurley's touches, Brown has just 14 carries for 58 yards over the last three games. Brown is just a […]

No Practice For Marlon Mack

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday after injuring his ankle late in the Week 4 loss to the Raiders. Mack should be considered questionable to suit up in Week 5 on Sunday night against the Chiefs for now. He'll need to get in some practice later in the week […]

Todd Gurley Ready For Resurgence?

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a midrange matchup against the divisional-rival Seattle Seahawks this week. Gurley really helped his season statistics last week with two touchdowns, but it's troublesome that he had five carries for 16 yards otherwise. The team has been cautious with his usage thus far, but this is an […]

Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Not At Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Adams and Williams are looking extremely questionable for Week 5 against the Cowboys, with Williams being more on the doubtful side after being taken off the field on a stretcher last Thursday. If Adams […]

Eric Sogard Left Off Wild-Card Roster, Yandy Diaz Available

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Eric Sogard (foot) is not on the roster for the American League wild-card game on Wednesday against the A's. Third baseman Yandy Diaz has been included. Sogard has been out since Sept. 15 and was just not able to get healthy enough to be included for the win-or-go-home game. The […]

Zay Jones, Tre'Davious White Miss Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones (shoulder) and cornerback Tre'Davious White (neck) did not practice on Wednesday. Jones has only seven receptions on 18 targets for 69 scoreless yards through four weeks, so he's not on the fantasy radar regardless of his health. It's unclear if White is in danger of missing this Sunday's game. […]

Chargers Put Dontrelle Inman On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers placed wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. With Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin missing Week 4, the Bolts are down to three healthy receivers in Keenan Allen, Geremy Davis and Andre Patton. Inman was a sneaky DFS play against the Dolphins with Williams and Benjamin inactive, but […]

Bengals Place John Ross On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed wide receiver John Ross (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed wide receiver Stanley Morgan from their practice squad in a corresponding move. Ross injured himself in the Monday night loss to the Steelers and can be dropped in shallow leagues. It's a shame, as the speedy wideout was having […]

Week 4 Disaster Recovery: DeAndre Hopkins

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have sat a player for somebody on your bench. Disaster Recovery is to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about starting, and deciding if you should be panicking at all about […]

Christian Kirk, Damiere Byrd Unlikely To Play Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) are both unlikely to play in Week 5 against the Bengals, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kirk will be limited in practice on Wednesday, but it's unclear if he's dealing with a low or high ankle sprain. Byrd would be missing his second […]

Tyreek Hill, Damien Williams Return To Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (collarbone) and running back Damien Williams (knee) will return to practice on Wednesday, although head coach Andy Reid wouldn't specify how much they'll do or if they'll be available in Week 5 against the Colts on Sunday night. It's good news for both players, but with the game […]
