Allen Robinson Leads Bears With 102 Receiving Yards

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson caught seven passes for 102 yards in the team's 10-3 loss to the Packers in Week 1. The Bears offense was stuck in neutral from the first snap of the game, save for Robinson. He appeared to be the only Bears receiver able to gain separation and added some […]

Digging Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 23

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the injured list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Delanie Walker A Low-End TE1 In Week 1

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker will be making his first regular season start since Week 1 of 2018 this week as the Titans travel to Cleveland to face the Browns. Walker looked like his old self in limited action this preseason, giving little reason to doubt that he will still be able to produce […]

Mitch Trubisky Lays A Dud In Opener

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 26 of 45 passes for 228 yards and one interception in the Bears 10-3 loss to the Packers. The third-year quarterback and the Bears offense never got anything going, and Trubisky added only 11 rushing yards in the game. The Bears offense looked lost at times, failing to cash […]

Corey Davis A Low-End Flex Play In Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis is shaping up as a low-end flex option in the Week 1 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Davis, who opens 2019 as the locked-in WR1 for the Titans, is coming off of a very solid camp going into his third season. The offense desperately needs Davis to take that […]

Dion Lewis Could See Extra Work In Week 1

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis may get extended run in the Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are expected to field one of the league's most explosive offenses in 2019, which could lead to a negative game script for the Titans offense. This scenario would almost certainly lead to more work […]

Dante Pettis Upgraded To Full Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (groin) was upgraded to full in Thursday’s practice. The second-year pro had been limited throughout the week but he looks ready to go in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With injuries to Trent Taylor (foot) and Jalen Hurd (back), the Niners formerly-deep receiving corps will likely […]

Marcus Mariota Not In Play In Week 1

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota faces a stiff task to kick off the 2019 season. Mariota and the Titans will travel to take on the Cleveland Browns, who enter the season with exponentially more hype than they've had in recent memory. While the majority of the focus has been on Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr., […]

Derrick Henry Looking To Start 2019 Off Strong

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is looking to build off of his strong finish to the 2018 season in Week 1 on the road against the Cleveland Browns. While Henry is slated to be the team's feature back in 2019, fantasy owners should have lowered expectations in what appears to be a very tough […]

Dalvin Cook A Top-Tier RB1 Against Falcons

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is primed for a big game to start the season, squaring off against an Atlanta Falcons Defense that got absolutely crushed by running backs in 2018. The Falcons allowed 10 top-10 finishes by running backs last year, and have been notorious for allowing tons of receiving yardage to the […]

Jose LeClerc Notches 10th Save

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jose Leclerc pitched a scoreless ninth inning in Baltimore Thursday to earn his 10th save of the season. LeClerc made things interesting after allowing a leadoff double and a walk in the inning but was able to get out of trouble with the two-run lead intact. LeClerc's 4.22 ERA and astronomical […]

Kolby Allard Improves To 4-0

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings and picked up his fourth win this season Thursday against the Orioles. It wasn't all good for the rookie southpaw as he allowed eight hits and two walks while only striking out two on the evening. Allard improves his ERA to 3.78 […]

Julio Jones Plans To Play Sunday

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones said he plans to play in the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the Vikings.

Dak Prescott's Extension A Priority For Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have made it a priority to reach a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott now that they have locked up offensive lineman La'el Collins and running back Ezekiel Elliott this week.

J.T. Realmuto Homers Again Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored against the Reds on Thursday.

Raiders Not Planning To Have Antonio Brown For Week 1

The Oakland Raiders are not planning to have wide receiver Antonio Brown for Week 1 against the Broncos on Monday night, according to sources.

Jose Alvarado Done For Season

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jose Alvarado (elbow) will not pitch again during the regular season, according to manager Kevin Cash.

David Price Scratched From Start Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) will not make his next scheduled start Friday against the Yankees.

The […]

Bryce Harper Swipes Two Bags Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 1-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases Thursday at Cincinnati.

He got off to a slow start but has put up the numbers […]

Sonny Gray Allows Just One Run in Win

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray was excellent in a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Gray allowed just one run over six innings while striking out seven. Despite his strong outing, Gray had to settle for a no-decision in the eventual win. Gray has been a fantastic fantasy pitcher for the Reds this […]

Lourdes Gurriel To Play Simulated Game Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel (quadriceps) will play in a simulated game Friday, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. Gurriel was going to play a simulated game Thursday but was still sore from a game in Atlanta. If all goes well, Gurriel could be back in the lineup this weekend, but early next week is […]

Michael Thomas Has Tough Week 1 Matchup

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is set to continue his All-Pro performance from last year.

LeSean McCoy Has RB2 Value in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy could very well end up in a timeshare role with back Damien Williams. McCoy was added to the roster on Saturday and having Andy Reid back as his head coach is a good sign. The Chiefs wouldn't add McCoy unless they plan to get him involved in the […]

Damien Williams Could Lose Value

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams could see himself losing value quickly with the addition of LeSean McCoy. Williams is named as the starter for Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, there could very well be a timeshare between Williams and McCoy. Head coach Andy Reid is familiar with McCoy and […]

Kyle Tucker Starting On Thursday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will start in right field and bat seventh against the Mariners Thursday night. Tucker is one of the top prospects in baseball but manager A.J.

Patrick Mahomes An Excellent Option Versus Jags

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the best fantasy quarterback last season, but can he do it again? He'll have an interesting matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. The Jags defense was not reliable last season, but they have the pieces to make it strong once again. Luckily, the Chiefs offense looks […]

Jason Vargas Strikes Out Six Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jason Vargas allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings pitched in a no-decision vs the Reds Thursday.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Crabtree will look to continue his career with his fourth team this upcoming Sunday.
