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. […]

Overvalued Fantasy Basketball Draft Picks - Yahoo ADPs

Are you in a league where some of your rivals use the Yahoo default rankings to help them out while they draft? If so, here's how you can use that against them to gain advantage and dodge some bullets with players who are overvalued on Yahoo. Creating quality rankings ahead of each NBA season is […]

Paul Richardson Held Without A Catch On Sunday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson was held without a catch for the second straight game in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. While the Redskins barely attempted any passes to begin with in a bad-weather game, Richardson's total lack of involvement can't be given a pass just because of rain or a tough defensive matchup. […]

Kirk Cousins Has Third Straight Big Game

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-34 passes for 337 yards and four touchdowns in Week 7's 42-30 win over the Detroit Lions. Cousins was on point all afternoon, completing passes to seven different receivers and benefiting from the play-action game repeatedly as the Lions Defense had no answer. Cousins put up a solid QB1 […]

Terry McLaurin Held In Check By 49ers

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught just one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. The writing was on the wall for a tough matchup to begin with, while the incessant rainfall took the passing game almost entirely out of the equation for Washington. McLaurin will return to a more positive […]

Jeremy Sprinkle Once Again A Non-Factor

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle caught two passes in a 9-0 loss that has to be the leader in the clubhouse for least entertaining game of the 2019 NFL season. Sprinkle had nothing working in his favor heading into the matchup against a tough 49ers Defense, but the weather both teams had to put […]

Wendell Smallwood Sees Six Touches In Home Loss

Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood received five carries and caught one pass, converting his touches into 41 total yards. The weather in this Week 7 contest ruined any potential Smallwood might've had to excel against a tough 49ers Defense with Chris Thompson out due to injury. The fact that he averaged 6.83 yards per […]

Adrian Peterson Racks Up 81 Rushing Yards In Week 7

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson surprisingly totaled 81 yards on 20 carries against an elite defense in a game hampered by bad weather. He was regrettably kept from scoring a touchdown in the loss, as were all of his teammates. Week 7 marked the second straight week that Peterson saw at least 20 carries, […]

Damiere Byrd Does Little In Week 7

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd had just one catch for four yards in the Week 7 victory over the New York Giants. The team didn't do much through the air, and he was targeted just twice. Byrd is a fringe option to own at this point and shouldn't be started against the New Orleans […]

KeeSean Johnson Logs Just One Catch

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson had just one catch for six yards in Week 7 against the New York Giants. Johnson was targeted just twice in the game, and he isn't worth owning except in long-term leagues.

Case Keenum Attempts Just 12 Passes In Rainy Loss

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum completed nine of 12 passes for 77 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Terrible weather slowed down both of the offenses in this contest, and the Redskins ran the ball just well enough that airing it out through a hard rain would not have improved their chances of winning […]

Larry Fitzgerald Lays An Egg

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had just one catch for 12 yards in Week 7. The Cardinals didn't do much through the air as quarterback Kyler Murray only threw for 104 yards. Fitzgerald was targeted just three times. He'll have a tough matchup against the New Orleans Saints next week, and Fitzgerald will be […]
