Aroldis Chapman Will Pursue Contract Extension

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman wants to stay with the team and will pursue a contract extension. However, if an extension isn't reached quickly, he will opt out of the $30 million and two years left on his contract. The Yankees will likely extend Chapman sooner than later. He's one of the best closers […]

Jacksonville's Confusing Pass Offense

Outside of Leonard Fournette, it has been hard to consistently trust a fantasy option on Jacksonville's offense. Nick Foles broke his collarbone in Week 1, thrusting sixth-round rookie Gardner Minshew II into the starting lineup. The tight end position is simply not producing numbers. We've seen the likes of James O'Shaughnessy and Geoff Swaim attempt […]

Bell's Hell - Can Le'Veon Turn Things Around?

As soon as it came, it went. The trade deadline arrived and passed without the New York Jets moving Le'Veon Bell out of town as it was speculated in the hours prior to the market closing. The relation between the player and the organization seems to have been sour for a while now. It didn't […]

Week 9 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 8 saw the dramatic return of Drew Brees following his early-season thumb surgery. The Saints just kept rolling, posting 31 points on the leaky Arizona defense. The Eagles and Lions also each hung 31 points on their opponents while the Tevin Coleman-led 49ers went crazy on Carolina with 51 points. The […]

Chris Jones On Track To Return For Chiefs Defense

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) returned to a full practice on Thursday and could be on track to return in Week 9 against the Vikings for the first time since Oct. 6. The 25-year-old is instrumental in the team's run defense, so getting Jones back this Sunday would be huge as they […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/1/19): NBA DFS Lineups

Last night with only three games, there was a bit of a struggle to find solid value plays. Luckily, you read my article and made the most of Frank Jackson's output and are looking for similar production tonight. To be completely honest, this whole Russell Westbrook and James Harden playing well together is driving me […]

Is It Time To Bail On The Bears?

In what seems to happen to a number of teams in the league, the Chicago Bears massively exceeded expectations last season. Their defense was firing and stopping teams momentum, and the offense was able to sustain drives. Hell Mitch Trubisky even looked like a competent quarterback! They won the highly competitive NFC North division before […]

Josh Lambo Will Kick In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) will be able to kick in Week 9 against the Texans. Lambo missed practice this week, but it looks like that was just a precaution. He's been perfect on his field-goal tries this year and has missed one extra point. In a game in which the Jags offense should […]

Dede Westbrook Questionable For Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Texans. This could come down to a game-time decision, but luckily for fantasy owners the Jaguars are playing an early morning game in London this Sunday. Because of the injury, Westbrook will be a shaky WR4/flex if he […]

Terry McLaurin A Bench Candidate Versus Bills

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin might very well have Dwayne Haskins throwing him the ball on Sunday, making him tough to trust in fantasy lineups. McLaurin's connection with first-string QB Case Keenum has been enough to elevate him to a pleasantly fantasy-relevant role in an otherwise inept offense, but we have seen nothing in […]

Eagles Optimistic On DeSean Jackson

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that he's "optimistic" that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will make his return in Week 9 against the Bears. Jackson will likely be listed as questionable on the final injury report and could be a game-time decision, but this is the closest he's been to playing since his […]

Odell Beckham Jr., Baker Mayfield Still Developing Chemistry

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. acknowledged that he and quarterback Baker Mayfield are still developing their in-game chemistry and that it will take time. "That comes from experience, it comes from playing in games together," Beckham said Thursday. "Live bullets are different than when we’re in practice and you don’t have to worry […]

Adam Thielen Hopeful Of Playing In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) said he feels good and is hopeful of returning after a one-game absence in Week 9 against the Chiefs. “In this league, it’s all about being close to 100 percent on game day,” Thielen added. “Luckily, I’ve got three more days to get to that point.” He was […]

Wendell Smallwood An Awful Week 9 Option

Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood could be the starter by process of elimination on Sunday if Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson sit. This does not mean he should be seriously considered for fantasy purposes on the road against the Bills, especially if rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins gets the start in place of concussed Case […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks For Week 9 (11/3/19)

Boy, both Indianapolis and Buffalo really crapped the bed last week. Also, I'm not sure how New England doesn't put up a 30-spot on Cleveland, at home, nonetheless. Last week was a step back in the process, but there's still plenty of football to be played. However, be sure to pay attention to my Twitter […]

Cam Newton's Foot Isn't Improving

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's (foot) sprained foot is not getting better despite not playing since mid-September, and he hasn't done more than rehab on the side during practices. He will travel to Green Bay to visit with Dr. Robert Anderson to learn why his condition isn't improving, according to a source. Returning to action […]

49ers Defense Humbled On Halloween

The San Francisco 49ers Defense surrendered 25 points in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals but escaped with a narrow 28-25 victory. The second-ranked defense by DVOA allowed new Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake to amass 162 scrimmage yards and atypically permitted several big plays, including an 88-yard catch-and-run by rookie wideout Andy Isabella in […]

Fantasy Football IDP Rankings for Week 9 (Top 100)

Three of the top offenses in the league are taking a break this week, which could result in some lower-scoring games. New quarterbacks in Denver and Washington could lead to promising defensive performances from their opponents. As always, those who play in IDP leagues should balance safety at the linebacker position with some risk at […]

Browns Defense Draws Excellent Week 9 Matchup

The Cleveland Browns Defense heads on the road to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 9. This sets up as an excellent matchup for Cleveland's defense as starting quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) has already been ruled out for at least the next month. That will force Denver to turn to Brandon Allen, who will […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Tough to Trust in Week 9

Cleveland Browns tight end Ricky Seals-Jones was in on 31 offensive snaps in Week 8, although it didn't show up in the box score as he was not targeted at all in the loss to the New England Patriots. Seals-Jones has been up-and-down for the Browns this season, having found the end zone twice in […]

Nick Chubb a Solid RB1 Against Denver

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is coming off an uneven performance against the New England Patriots in Week 8. While Chubb went for 131 rushing yards, he also lost two fumbles in the contest. Chubb will look to bounce back in Week 9 against a Denver Broncos Defense that ranks 14th in DVOA this […]

Baker Mayfield a Low-Upside Option in Week 9

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield draws a tough road matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Mayfield hasn't met expectations this season, throwing for just 1,690 yards, six touchdowns, and 12 interceptions through seven games. He has tossed at least one pick in each of his starts while failing to pass for multiple touchdowns […]

Jrue Holiday Returns In Excellent Form

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday scored 19 points while adding many extras in the solid win over the Nuggets on Thursday. Holiday connected on five triples while adding seven assists and five rebounds with two steals in 32 minutes of action. Holiday is off to a slowish start, but we know with his skill […]

Brandon Ingram Stays Hot In Win Over Nuggets

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram kept the hot hand going on Thursday as he drilled seven of 12 shots from the floor en route to 25 points in the win over the Nuggets. Ingram added three rebounds with five assists and connected on 9-for-11 from the line. Ingram still holds some heavy sell-high value […]

Nikola Jokic Attempts Just Six Shots In Loss

Denver Nuggets power forward/center Nikola Jokic attempted just six shots from the floor and made five of them in the 122-107 loss to the Pelicans. Jokic finished the night with 13 points and added six rebounds with six assists with a steal and two turnovers in 27 minutes of action. Jokic got dominated on the […]
