Matt Breida's Usage Suggests Bankable Floor

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida is a safe RB2 in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-year back raced for 121 yards in Week 2 on just 12 carries and should again operate in a near-even split with Raheem Mostert. Behind one of the best offensive lines through two weeks, both Breida […]

Tom Brady On Week 3 Injury Report

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (calf) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Brady is often listed on the team's injury report but always winds up playing. He'll be fine for another great spot in Week 3 at home against the reeling Jets. The ageless wonder will keep a high ceiling as a […]

David Moore Has Good Chance To Play In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver David Moore (shoulder) has a "really good chance" to play in Week 3 against the Saints. If Moore makes his debut in Week 3, he'll likely be limited in three-wide sets with Tyler Lockett and rookie D.K. Metcalf, although Moore will likely be the third […]

Jameis Winston Will Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (foot) practiced in full on Wednesday and will start in Week 3 against the Giants. Winston looked a little better last Thursday than he did in Week 1, but fantasy owners were still expecting more from him in Bruce Arians' offense. Against New York's porous defense this weekend, Winston […]

Raheem Mostert Shining As Dual-Threat Runner

Given an opportunity in Week 2, San Francisco running back Raheem Mostert broke out with 151 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. The fourth-year special teams veteran played well in limited opportunities last season (34 carries, 7.7 YPC) and should continue co-chairing the backfield with Matt Breida in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the […]

Darius Leonard Misses Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) did not practice on Monday after being placed in the concussion protocol following the Week 2 game. Leonard had a team-high 10 tackles and a sack against the Titans, but he'll have to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he's allowed to play in Week 3 against the […]

Marlon Mack Not Seen At Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday. It doesn't mean that Mack won't play in Week 3 at home against the Falcons, but it's certainly something to monitor as the week progresses. Indy is tied for second in the NFL in rushing with 185 yards per game after two […]

Greg Zuerlein Remains A Top Kicking Option Ahead Of Week 2

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein was perfect during the team’s 29-7 Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints with two field goals and three extra points. Zuerlein was able to show his range in Week 1 with a 56-yard kick against the Carolina Panthers, quieting any health concerns after the veteran had suffered […]

Jared Goff Faces Tough Cleveland Defense On The Road

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff saw some success in the team’s 29-7 Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints, completing 19 passes on 28 attempts for 283 yards and two TDs (one passing, one rushing). While Week 2 was a definite improvement over his subpar Week 1 performance, unfortunately Goff remains plagued by […]

Brandin Cooks Remains A Boom-Or-Bust WR2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks rebounded in the team’s Week 2 29-7 victory over the New Orleans Saints with three receptions on four targets for 74 yards and a TD. However, his five receptions through two games remains extremely concerning and indicates that the veteran could very well be the WR3 on the […]

Robert Woods Could Rebound In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods struggled in the team’s Week 2 29-7 victory over the New Orleans Saints. After all, he only had two receptions on two targets for 33 yards. However, fantasy owners should treat Week 2 as an anomaly; Woods had multiple plays called back due to holding penalties and the […]

Giancarlo Stanton Activated From Injured List

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) was activated off the Injured List on Wednesday and is headed right into the team's lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels. He's hitting fifth and playing left field. Stanton hasn't seen the field since late June as he's been sidelined with a PCL strain in his right […]

Cooper Kupp Should Continue To Dominate

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp appears to be the WR1 in Los Angeles two weeks into the season thanks to his rapport with quarterback Jared Goff. Kupp enters Week 3 leading the team in receptions, yards and targets, an impressive feat considering he had torn his ACL just one year ago. In Week […]

Cam Robinson To Protect Gardner Minshew On Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) will start on Thursday against the Titans. It's an upgrade for rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew's blind-side protection in Week 3, but Jacksonville's offense is still likely to struggle to move the ball consistently without Nick Foles (collarbone) under center. You should only be looking to start Minshew if […]

Jaguars Defense Will Have Jalen Ramsey Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey will play on Thursday against the Titans, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Ramsey is unhappy with his contract situation in Jacksonville and requested a trade Monday night. He's expected to get dealt as early as this Friday for a pair of first-round picks, so Thursday's game is shaping up […]

Mike Moustakas Hits Home Run No. 35 On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas continues to inch closer to his career-best home run season, which came when he hit 38 in 2017 with the Royals. On Tuesday, Moustakas hit 1-for-3 and blasted his 35th home run of the season. He is now slashing .262/.333/.535 with 85 RBI on the year. He's maintained a […]

Lorenzo Cain Hits Ninth Home Run On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain broke a substantial home run drought on Tuesday, hitting his first home run since July 31 and his ninth home run on the season. Cain is of course known more for his contact-hitting ability than his power, but he's had a down year all around. He's currently slashing just .251/.316/.352. […]

Cowboys Defense the Top Week 3 Option in Fantasy

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is the top defensive unit for Week 3. Taking on a Miami Dolphins offense that has scored a total of 10 points all season, the Cowboys defense is almost a lock to put up the most fantasy points of the week at the position. With turnover juggernauts Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh […]

Brett Maher Should Kick Plenty of Extra Points in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher should see plenty of the field in Week 3. Going up against a "football team" called the Miami Dolphins, the Cowboys should have no problem scoring plenty of touchdowns on Sunday. The only minor concern with Maher is that he won't be needed for field goals and will just accumulate […]

Jason Witten a Slightly Better Option Than Usual in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has shown that he still has a nose for the end zone, scoring a touchdown a week so far. He's been the same Jason Witten that he was before he left the field to join the broadcast booth: get open for a short pass, catch it, fall down. That […]

Dallas Keuchel Hit Hard By Phillies

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel suffered his sixth loss of the season on Tuesday, giving up eight hits, one walk and five earned runs over five innings against the Phillies. Keuchel was fortunate his line wasn't even worse as he loaded the bases in the fifth inning with just one out, but was able […]

Devin Smith to Play a Starting Role in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith will potentially be working in a starting role in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. Smith hauled in all three of his targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. With Michael Gallup (knee) out for this game and Randall Cobb likely sticking to the slot, Smith […]

Adam Plutko Earns Seventh Win On Tuesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko was solid on Tuesday, going six innings and allowing four hits, one walk and two earned runs while striking out six. He is now 7-4 on the season with a 4.34 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. Granted it was an easy matchup against the lowly Tigers, but Plutko has been […]

Randall Cobb Could See a Bigger Role in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb could play a larger role in Week 3, but is still not a recommended fantasy starter. Cobb has 11 targets through the first two weeks as the slot receiver for the Cowboys and could see more play with Michael Gallup (knee) missing a few games. Still, most of Cobb's […]

Amari Cooper an Easy WR1 Option for Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is an easy WR1 option for Week 3. With the Cowboys taking on the inept Miami Dolphins, Cooper is being ranked as a top-five fantasy wide receiver for this week. Especially with Michael Gallup (knee) out for this one, Cooper should see a monster share of the targets from […]

Tony Pollard Could Get Some Run in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is too risky to start in Week 3 even though he could see a decent number of touches. Taking on the helpless Miami Dolphins, the Cowboys may turn to Pollard for parts of the second half in order to limit starting running back Ezekiel Elliott's snaps. Still, there […]

Ezekiel Elliott Could Be the Top Running Back in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should be one of the top running back options for Week 3 and has No. 1 overall upside. Taking on the tanking Miami Dolphins, Elliott should find plenty of room to run, especially since the Cowboys will likely work on the ground for most of the second half in […]

Mark Andrews Not Practicing Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) is absent from practice on Wednesday. Andrews has been one of the most valuable fantasy tight ends through two weeks, catching 16 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. To put it into perspective, the 24-year-old caught 34 passes for 552 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games […]

Dak Prescott One of the Top Options in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top fantasy quarterback options in a Week 3 game against the Miami Dolphins. Prescott threw three touchdowns in Week 2 and added 69 yards rushing. He'll face off against a barely-there Miami Dolphins team that has been outscored 102-10 through two weeks. Prescott is a surefire […]

Adam Jones Out of the Lineup on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. The 34-year-old has produced 15 home runs, 62 RBI, and a .262 batting average this season, but is not worth a roster spot in standard mixed leagues. Abraham Almonte will take over in right field and bat lead-off […]
