Jason Myers Is Here To Make Extra Points

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers probably didn't expect to be rolling into Week 3 with a field-goal line of 0-for-1. Seattle made 22 field goals in 27 attempts last season, but after two weeks of 2019, they've attempted just one shot for three points. Even that attempt was a serious long shot, as Myers was […]

Aaron Nola Rocked By Braves

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola allowed five runs in five innings and took his sixth loss of the season Thursday in Atlanta. There was traffic all over the bases as Nola allowed nine hits and two walks while only striking out four on the afternoon. This is now the second time in his last […]

Bobby Wagner Leads A Strong Base Defense

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner told the media he was sad that he won't get to face off against Drew Brees when the Saints come to town on Sunday, but he's excited by Seattle's current approach of more linebackers at every turn. The Seahawks Defense leads the league in how often they run their base […]

Will Dissly Could See More Action

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly caught his first touchdown of the season last Sunday, and it was quite the relief for him. Dissly doubted that he'd ever play in the NFL again after he tore his patellar tendon last September, and the concern jumped up again when he left the team's Week 1 game […]

D.K. Metcalf Is What Seattle Dreamed About

When the Seattle Seahawks drafted wide receiver D.K. Metcalf in the second round of this year's draft, there was a ton of criticism about how Metcalf was nothing but a workout warrior. However, head coach Pete Carroll was enthralled by Metcalf's size and speed combination. He's been searching for that type of receiver for years, […]

Hunter Renfrow Looking To Keep Progressing

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has made a mark in the team's offense, leading the team with eight targets in Week 2. He'll look to follow that up this week as the squad travels to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in a game that will likely force more pass attempts from Derek Carr. […]

Tyler Lockett Should Be Licking His Chops

Coming off a big week where he snagged 10 passes for 79 yards, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett gets to face another one of the softest secondaries in the league. So far, wide receivers have scored the sixth-most fantasy points against the Saints Defense this season, and Lockett's quickness and route running should keep […]

Rashaad Penny Needs To Hit The Big One

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny led the team in rushing last week, but it was really because of one big run that he got fortunate on. Penny lumbered 37 yards for a touchdown on a broken play where he cut back to the other side of the field and used lead blocker Russell Wilson […]

Jalen Richard Searching For More Touches

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard is firmly planted as a distant backup to Josh Jacobs this season after dominating touches for the offense in 2018. He's picked up just five touches through two games so far for a total of eight measly yards after leading the team with 68 receptions a year ago. Richard […]

Chris Carson Facing Stout Defense

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson will be facing the best run defense he's seen this year when he welcomes the Saints to Seattle on Sunday. That said, the biggest thing that may help pad Carson's stats is the lack of Drew Brees in the New Orleans huddle. Without Brees, the Saints enter the game […]

Russell Wilson Sad He Won't Face Brees

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson told the media on Wednesday that he's sad that Drew Brees won't be out there on the field on Sunday. Wilson mentioned that he's close friends with Brees, who he also said is one of his favorite players of all time. Wilson will instead be facing off against Teddy Bridgewater […]

Anthony Rizzo Leading Off On Thursday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (ankle) is leading off on Thursday. Rizzo was in a walking boot and expected to miss 5-to-7 days following a diagnosis of a sprained right ankle. Many thought Rizzo could have missed the rest of the season, but the slugger is returning after just four days. Rizzo will have […]

Mookie Betts Expected to Play This Weekend

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) is expected to be ready to play against the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend. Betts has been sidelined the last week or so due to discomfort in his left foot. The MRI didn't show any major damage, so Betts should be good to go here soon. The Red […]

Renato Nunez is Back in the Lineup Against Jays

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Renato Nunez (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Nunez missed the last two games after getting hit in the hand by a pitch on Monday. He'll play first base and bat fifth versus righty Wilmer Font. Nunez has been in a bit […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is Back in the Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (ribs) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Guerrero left early during Wednesday's game after diving for a ball and landing on his ribcage. However, Guerrero appears to be fine and is back in the lineup here. He'll bat third and […]

Thomas Davis Tied For NFL Lead In Tackles

When the Los Angeles Chargers signed 36-year-old linebacker Thomas Davis over the offseason, the question was whether he would still have it. That seems to be clear now. After two weeks, Davis is tied with former Defensive Player of the Year and former teammate Luke Kuechly for the league lead in tackles. It's been a […]

Max Kepler Continues to Sit Out

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Kepler has not been in the lineup since September 14 due to lingering shoulder issues. Ryan LaMarre will cover center field and bat ninth versus lefty Mike Montgomery. LaMarre doesn't have much upside with the […]

Lourdes Gurriel In Lineup On Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This marks the first time that Gurriel will play outfield since landing on the injured list due to hamstring issues. He'll bat third and play left field versus righty Gabriel Ynoa. Gurriel doesn't have great upside […]

Mike Williams Faces College Teammate In Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will be facing off against his college teammate Deshaun Watson for the first time as a pro on Sunday. Obviously, the two won't be going head-to-head on any given snap, but it will be the first time they've been on opposite sidelines on the field. Williams and Watson […]

Craig Kimbrel Activated On Thursday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel (elbow) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Kimbrel spent over two weeks sidelined due to elbow inflammation. He's been able to throw simulated games, and looked fine during those outings. It sounds like he'll be in the bullpen on Thursday versus the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cole Hamels Won't Pitch on Sunday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cole Hamels (shoulder) won't pitch in Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He'll be sidelined due to shoulder fatigue after lasting just 3 1/3 innings during his last outing. Alec Mills has been announced as the replacement starter. Mills will get the nod against the Cardinals on Friday. It's unclear […]

Lorenzo Cain Leaves Early on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres. The team has not announced why Cain left, but it is likely due to the lingering knee soreness he's been battling. Trent Grisham took over for Cain in center field. More information should be known about […]

Jared Cook A Middling TE2 Option In Week 3

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook has yet to show fantasy owners any uptick in production after joining a new team this past offseason. Through two games with the Saints, Cook has managed a disappointing 64 yards on four receptions. It's not surprising, but not what fantasy owners were hoping for. Cook is now […]

Justin Jackson Leads The League In Yards Per Carry

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson has become the new Austin Ekeler. Not the 2019 version of Ekeler that is blowing up and costing Melvin Gordon millions of dollars. The 2017 and 2018 version of Ekeler that worked as the change-of-pace back and put up gaudy YPC numbers while Gordon did the dirty work. […]

Austin Ekeler Facing Best Defense Yet

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is in for another challenge on Sunday as he faces a Texans Defense that has been better than either of the teams he's faced so far this season. That said, Ekeler has been electric this year, and he is still a sure start in every league. Ekeler has […]

Tre'Quan Smith Has Status Up In The Air For Week 3

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith may ultimately wind up suiting up Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, but he certainly isn’t trending in that direction after having been held out of practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Additionally, even if Smith is able to get on the field, he’ll be dealing with a […]

Mason Crosby A Starting Option Against Broncos

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby is an effective starting option this week against the Denver Broncos. Crosby has been accurate all season, and in familiar surroundings there is no reason why that would change. The Denver Broncos have allowed just over an average number of field-goal attempts, giving up four so far this season. […]

Packers Defense A Good Starting Option This Week

The Green Bay Packers Defense is a good option for fantasy owners this week. In previous seasons, the defense has struggled to have a consistent impact. However, after multiple additions in the offseason, the Packers have been an effective fantasy option this season. The've only allowed 19 points so far this season, as well as totaling […]

Geronimo Allison's Inconsistency Makes Him A Tough Start

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison has had a wildly inconsistent start to the season, making him a difficult player to trust in lineups this week. Allison wasn't given a single target in the Packers opening matchup and while he had four receptions last week, it was the touchdown that saved his fantasy value. […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Flex Option Against Broncos

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling should be considered as a flex option with upside this week. Valdes-Scantling had some boom plays in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears but struggled to make the same impact against the Minnesota Vikings last week. The Denver Broncos have only given up an average of 15.6 […]
