Josh Rosen To Start In Week 3, Ryan Fitzpatrick Benched

The Miami Dolphins have named quarterback Josh Rosen as the starter for Week 3 against the Cowboys, according to sources. It's the right choice, but Rosen might not fare much better than Ryan Fitzpatrick did the first two weeks behind an embarrassing offensive line and without many weapons in the passing game. The Dolphins will […]

Gerald Everett An Afterthought This Week

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett could see more action against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3 with Tyler Higbee (lung) iffy to play. The Browns have allowed just six catches to the position, but two of them went for touchdowns. Everett caught three balls for 21 yards last week after he caught just […]

Tyler Higbee Not A Week 3 Option

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) has a lukewarm matchup against the Cleveland Browns this week. The Browns have allowed just six catches to tight ends this year, but two of them went for six points. Higbee has six catches for 41 yards and a score on eight targets. Higbee is iffy to […]

Malcolm Brown A Sneaky Flex Option

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown could be a sneaky flex option against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. The Browns have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs this season. They flashed some big plays on offense last week, but it arguable that they should have did more against the flailing […]

Todd Gurley Could Be Jekyll Or Hyde

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a great matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. The Browns have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, and Gurley has been steady the first two weeks. He was used sparingly in the season opener, but he came on late when the […]

KeeSean Johnson A Long-Term Option

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson is not worth starting against the Carolina Panthers this week, but he is one to hold on to in most formats. The rookie had five catches for 46 yards in the season opener and had just two targets in the second game. That game was receiver Michael Crabtree's debut […]

Larry Fitzgerald Leads Young Cards

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald remains a WR2 option in point-per-reception formats heading into Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. He has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in both games to open the season, and he has been targeted 24 times in them. The yardage may not hold because he has caught passes of 54 […]

Christian Kirk Emerging

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk is worth a look as a flex play in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. Kirk broke out with six grabs for 114 yards last week, and he was targeted 20 times in the first two games. The Panthers are among the better teams at defending the position, and […]

Damiere Byrd On The Fringe

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd has emerged as a player to watch on waivers. He has just 10 catches for 87 yards and no touchdowns in two games, but he was targeted seven times in each game. He is functionally the team's third-best wide receiver, though Keesean Johnson has a lot more upside, and […]

David Johnson Has Upside

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has a good matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3. The Panthers have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs in the first two weeks of the season. It's also possible that the Panthers will be without quarterback Cam Newton (foot), who has been hampered by injury […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 3

Two weeks have now passed in the young 2020 season of the NFL and the Miami Dolphins have already given up 102 points. Who knew that fielding a team of minor leaguers would lead to such a historically horrible start? Everyone. Everyone knew. Here's some helpful advice that will serve you well for all the […]

Kyler Murray Has A Tough Draw

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has a tough matchup against the Carolina Panthers this week. The Panthers have been great against opposing quarterbacks as they have yielded the fourth-fewest fantasy points to the position. In contrast, Murray has been a pleasant surprise through his first two weeks. He has thrown for 300 yards in both […]

Tyreek Hill Out Of His Sling

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (collarbone) no longer has his right arm in a sling and was dribbling a basketball with both hands before practice. Hill appears to be healing rapidly and could beat his timetable for a return. The electric receiver should be stashed in all formats. Sammy Watkins and Travis Kelce […]

Tyler Kroft Injured At Practice

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) left practice on Thursday after suffering an ankle injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, but this is obviously bad news for a player who was on the verge of making his season debut against his old team, the Bengals. Even had Kroft played in Week 3, […]

Dallas Goedert Not Practicing Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Goedert should be considered doubtful at this point to play in Week 3 against the Lions. He's not much of a tight end streamer unless Zach Ertz misses time with injury. The Eagles are expected to be without […]

Albert Wilson Doubtful Against Cowboys

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) will likely miss his second straight game in Week 3 against the Cowboys, according to a source. He's "doubtful" at this point as he rehabs the calf injury that kept him off the field in Week 2. Wilson hasn't practiced this week and didn't practice all of […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh Rosen Sharing First-Team Reps

A Miami Dolphins player said that quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen are sharing first-team repetitions at practice on Thursday. However, head coach Brian Flores said that Fitzpatrick remains the starter "right now." Fitzpatrick has been benched late in the game each of the first two weeks, but Rosen hasn't looked much better in his […]

Jimmy Graham Still Out Thursday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Graham's status should not taken for granted, as he's definitely trending toward sitting out in Week 3 against the Broncos. If he does play, he'll be a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2. Marcedes Lewis would see more work […]

Sterling Shepard Practices In Full Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) practiced in full on Thursday for the first time since he suffered a concussion in Week 1. He sat out of the Week 2 game. However, Bennie Fowler (hamstring) and Cody Latimer (concussion) missed practice. With Fowler and Latimer trending toward sitting out in Week 3 against […]

Tyrell Williams Practicing Again Thursday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (hip) is at practice again on Thursday. Williams is dealing with a hip pointer but should be able to suit up in Week 3 on the road against the Vikings. Despite the tough opponent, the Vikes have allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game (27.4) to wide receivers […]

Mark Andrews Returns To Practice

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It means that Andrews is on track to play in Week 3 against the Chiefs in what could be a shootout. The 24-year-old has 16 catches, has gone over the century mark twice and has scored in both […]

Marlon Mack, Darius Leonard Missing Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) and All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) both missed practice again on Thursday. Earlier this week Mack was seen with a protective boot. He leads the NFL with 45 carries through two games, so losing him in Week 3 against the Falcons would be rough for the Colts and […]

Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson Expected To Miss Week 4

If the Philadelphia Eagles get wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) back by Week 5 against the Jets, it would be considered a good result. It's time to remove Jeffery and Jackson from your lineups for Week 3 against the Lions if you haven't already done so. Nelson Agholor should see heavy […]

Franmil Reyes Back in Lineup

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Franmil Reyes is back in the lineup Thursday after missing two games due to what the team only called a family issue. Reyes is only hitting .200/.293/.340 with one home run in 14 games in September but does have 11 RBI thanks to Cleveland's lineup ahead of him. He's nonetheless a […]

Jack Flaherty Draws Tough Cubs Matchup

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty is drawing his toughest matchup in some time on Thursday as St. Louis faces the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley. It may be Flaherty's hardest start since an August 7 bout against the Dodgers, but he handled that one with ease: seven innings, no runs, and 10 strikeouts. He […]

Harrison Bader Returns to Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader is back in the lineup batting eighth Thursday after an off day on Wednesday. Matt Carpenter, in turn, returns to the bench as his lost season continues. Eighth is obviously not the best lineup spot for DFS purposes against the Chicago Cubs and starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks. You may […]

Jean Segura Leaves with Apparent Hamstring Injury

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura left Thursday's day game with an apparent left hamstring injury. Segura has disappointed this season with a .283 average and 10 steals, his worst marks since 2015 and 2012, respectively, and at this point in the season any injury of even intermediate seriousness means an end to the season but […]

Jeimer Candelario Batting Fifth Thursday

Detroit Tigers infielder Jeimer Candelario, who has been dealing with triceps soreness, is back in the team's lineup and playing first base on Thursday. However, the Tigers are facing the Cleveland Indians and starting pitcher Mike Clevinger, so the entire Detroit lineup is a DFS fade even with a small slate. As for Candelario's value […]

Domingo German On Leave in Domestic-Violence Case

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German has been placed by MLB on administrative leave under its domestic-violence policy. There are no details about the case itself. For what it's worth, there are obvious fantasy implications. German will miss at least one start, as the administrative leave requires at least seven days off. German's 4.03 […]
