J.T. Realmuto Out of Lineup on Friday Night

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is out of the starting lineup for Friday night's game at Cleveland. Realmuto did go 0-for-5 in a 5-4 loss to the Braves on Thursday but has crushed it in September with five home runs, 11 RBI, and 10 runs scored. Even though the former Marlin has started all but […]

Michael Badgley Questionable Against Texans

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Texans. Badgley practiced this week and looks to be on the verge of making his season debut. The Bolts need him, too, as Ty Long hasn't been good filling in the last two weeks. Badgley has the skills to […]

Buster Posey Gets the Night Off

San Francisco catcher Buster Posey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Braves. Presumably, this is to take it easy with Posey's recent back injury which caused him to miss three games earlier this week. Posey returned to the lineup on Thursday and played with no reported issues but the Giants will […]

Chiefs Likely To Be Cautious With LeSean McCoy

The Kansas City Chiefs are likely to be cautious about overloading running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) in Week 3 against the Ravens with Damien Williams (knee) ruled out. Rookie Darwin Thompson could see significant playing time, along with an increased role for Darrel Williams. Shady might not be 100 percent healthy, but he'll be the […]

J.D. Martinez to Sit Again on Friday

Boston outfielder J.D. Martinez will sit for the third game in a row after injuring his groin in a Tuesday 7-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants. While Friday was thought to be the earliest Martinez could return to the lineup, this is still a big blow to his fantasy owners playing in their championship […]

Carlos Hyde Could See Big Week 3 Workload

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde should continue to be the team's main running back in Week 3's meeting with the Chargers. Hyde had 20 carries against Jacksonville in Week 2 and was both effective and the clear top option over Duke Johnson. Hyde faces a defense that has allowed the third-most rushing yards to […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Will Play Sunday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Tyrell Williams will both be active for Sunday’s tilt versus the Vikings. Jacobs was dealing with an illness and a hip issue earlier this week, but will once again lead the backfield in touches after getting in a full practice Friday. He’ll be on the lower […]

Marlon Mack, T.Y. Hilton Listed As Questionable

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) and wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) are both listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Falcons. Mack has been productive in two games and should be fine to suit up this weekend, but he could see Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines become more involved against Atlanta. He's […]

James Conner, Vance McDonald Good To Go

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (knee) and tight end Vance McDonald (back) practiced in full the last two days and were taken off the final injury report for Week 3 against the 49ers. Conner is more of a low-end RB2 this weekend while at risk of losing touches to backup Jaylen Samuels. Remember, this […]

Mark Andrews Questionable Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Chiefs. Despite the questionable tag, Andrews practiced on Friday and will play on Sunday. He fought through his foot injury in Week 2 and had 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. Andrews has gone over 100 yards and scored […]

Deshaun Watson Faces Tough Week 3 Matchup

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson had an uncharacteristically tough time in the team's Week 2 victory over Jacksonville, and he faces another tough test in Week 3 as Houston visits the Los Angeles Chargers. Los Angeles picked off Matthew Stafford twice in Week 2 and hasn't allowed a 300-yard passer through two games. Watson's rushing […]

LeSean McCoy Listed As Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Ravens. Despite the questionable tag, McCoy is expected to suit up on Sunday and has been trending in the right direction after a good practice on Friday. With Damien Williams (knee) out, Shady has RB2 upside in what […]

Courtland Sutton Will Play Against Packers

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (ribs) returned to practice on Friday and is not listed on the final injury report for Week 3 against the Packers. Sutton has potential to emerge as a fantasy weapon in all leagues in 2019, but he'll be inconsistent in this slugging Broncos offense led by Joe Flacco. Emmanuel […]

Albert Wilson, Reshad Jones Ruled Out For Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) and safety Reshad Jones (ankle) both missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Cowboys. Put simply, Miami's roster is a joke. It might be a surprise if they don't lose every single game in 2019. With Wilson out a second straight […]

Alshon Jeffery, Dallas Goedert Questionable

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) and tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) are both listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Lions. Both are shaping up to be game-time decisions Sunday morning. DeSean Jackson (groin) was ruled out earlier on Friday, so it could be Nelson Agholor, Mack Hollins and rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside […]

Trent Taylor Placed On Injured Reserve

The San Francisco 49ers placed wide receiver Trent Taylor (foot) on Injured Reserve on Friday and re-signed offensive tackle Sam Young to a one-year contract in a corresponding move. Taylor had surgery Aug. 10 to fix a Jones fracture in his right foot and must sit out at least eight weeks before he's eligible to […]

Ty Montgomery Expected To Play Sunday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery was excused from practice on Friday due to personal reasons. Montgomery is expected to be active in Week 3 on the road against the Patriots. As expected, T-Mont has taken a back seat to the bell cow in this offense in Le'Veon Bell. The 26-year-old has just five […]

Greg Olsen Questionable Against Cardinals

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Cardinals. Olsen got in full practices both Thursday and Friday, so we'd be surprised if he doesn't play, but it's something worth watching out for. The Cardinals have allowed the most fantasy points per game (22.7) to the tight […]

Cam Newton Officially Ruled Out For Week 3

The Carolina Panthers officially ruled out quarterback Cam Newton (foot) for Week 3 against the Cardinals. Kyle Allen will get the start on Sunday in Arizona. It's not a guarantee that Newton will be able to return in Week 4 either, so keep tabs on his recovery. Allen has a good matchup in a Patrick […]

Chiefs Rule Out Damien Williams

The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled out running back Damien Williams (knee) for Week 3 against the Ravens. Williams hadn't practiced all week, so it was looking this way all along. LeSean McCoy (ankle) was banged up last week, but he's good to go and should see the majority of touches in this backfield. With […]

Devin Singletary Won't Play Sunday

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) will not play in Week 3 against the Bengals. The third-round pick has 155 total yards on 15 touches this season. Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon will work in tandem in Singletary's absence, with Gore working mainly on early downs and Yeldon serving as the third-down back. Singletary's […]

Diontae Johnson Now A Starter

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Diontae Johnson confirmed that he's now a starter alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster. It means that he'll be in on three-receiver sets moving forward with Smith-Schuster and James Washington. Donte Moncrief has ruined his chance by dropping a plethora of passes in the first two weeks. Johnson has caught four of his […]

Buccaneers Defense Rules Out Devin White

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (knee) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Giants. Even though White is just a rookie, he's one of the most influential players on the Bucs defense, so his loss this weekend is notable. Tampa's D is intriguing as a streaming […]

Marlon Mack Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Mack could still be listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Falcons, but his return to practice puts him on the right track to suit up this Sunday. He's had the most rushing attempts […]

Colts Defense Won't Have Darius Leonard In Week 3

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) and defensive end Jabaal Sheard (knee) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Falcons by head coach Frank Reich. Leonard had an outstanding rookie season in 2018 and is one of the top IDP options at linebacker every week. You'll have to go in another direction now […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag - Week 3

This article's content may vary week-to-week, but generally, it will be answering questions fielded from either the @RotoBallerNFL twitter account or my personal one (@RotoSurgeon). This week, the focus is on start/sit questions, and there were plenty. Every week, many of us struggle with which quarterback to start, or who to flex, and I am […]

Bench Cameron Brate This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate had a couple near misses Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. He could've finished with a decent day but unfortunately had two touchdown passes on the same drive called back due to penalties. Both Brate and O.J. Howard have struggled mightily the first two games of the […]

Jimmy Graham Expected To Play

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin) "looked good" in practice on Friday, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Graham could be questionable on the final Week 3 injury report, but it sounds like he will be available in Week 3 against the Broncos. Even if Graham suits up, there's not a whole lot […]

Andy Dalton, Bengals Running Game Could Be In Trouble

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Bills, while backup left tackle Andre Smith (groin) and left guard Michael Jordan (knee) are both questionable to play. Cincy's offensive line was already shaky to begin with, and now they might be without their top two blind-side protectors […]

Titans Not Looking To Bench Marcus Mariota

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said the team isn't looking at a quarterback change from Marcus Mariota to backup Ryan Tannehill right now. Mariota came into the 2019 needing to prove more after being the second overall pick in 2015. He has failed to do that, going 56-for-92 (career-low 60.9 completion percentage) for 706 […]
