DeSean Jackson Has Plenty of Upside in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson enters a Week 1 matchup with the Washington Redskins with plenty of upside. Jackson is expected to be the lid-lifter for the Eagles offense while Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz work the shorter routes. Jackson, as he has been most of his career, will be a boom-or-bust option most […]

Alshon Jeffery a Solid Option in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a solid option in a Week 1 matchup with the Washington Redskins. Jeffery will have a new starting partner on offense this season, as DeSean Jackson has rejoined the Eagles offense. That could open up some room for Jeffery to work shorter routes as Jackson opens things up […]

Corey Clement Not a Strong Option in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a recommended starting option in Week 1 when the Eagles take on the Washington Redskins. Clement could carve out a big role this season, but it is currently unclear how he, veteran Darren Sproles, and rookie Miles Sanders will split carries and snaps. Sanders has the most […]

Jordan Howard Looking Like a Touchdown-Dependent Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is looking like a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 1. The Eagles take on the Washington Redskins and shouldn't have much of a problem moving the ball, but rookie Miles Sanders and passing down backs Corey Clement and Darren Sproles are expected to fill their roles while Howard will […]

Carlos Hyde Not Worth A Start In Week 1

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde shouldn't be in fantasy lineups when the Texans meet the Saints on Monday night. Hyde was just acquired by the Texans is unlikely to be employed as the main running back, as Duke Johnson should be on the field a good bit more than Hyde, even if Hyde gets […]

Miles Sanders Should Have a Significant Role in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders should play a significant role in the Week 1 offense against the Washington Redskins. Sanders reportedly outplayed every other running back in Eagles camp and should get the biggest snap share in the Philly backfield. His upside is limited by the presence of passing down backs Corey Clement […]

Duke Johnson Has Upside In Week 1

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson makes his living as a receiving back, which should allow him to perform well on Monday night against a Saints team that was susceptible to passing plays in 2018. Johnson's got some risk, though, because the Texans under Bill O'Brien haven't traditionally gotten their backs much pass-game usage, and […]

Carson Wentz Set for a Strong Opening to the Season

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is looking like a good bet to get off to a good start in Week 1. The Eagles take on the Washington Redskins and Wentz is ranked among the top five quarterbacks for the week. He has a good matchup against the Washington defense, and he'll have plenty of new […]

Cole Beasley To Be A Focal Point Of Offense

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley will be one of the main focal points of the offense this year. Despite the fact that he's averaged 3.1 catches per game in his time with the Cowboys, Beasley has plenty of sleeper appeal and has an outside chance of approaching the 100-catch mark if he stays healthy. […]

Deshaun Watson Should Open 2019 Strong

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson comes into 2019 with some new weapons and improved offensive line, and he'll look to get off to a fast start on Monday night against a Saints team that allowed the eighth-most passing yards last season. Watson may be without wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) in this one, but the […]

Ryan Succop Put On IR, Cairo Santos Signs

The Tennessee Titans placed kicker Ryan Succop (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed free agent Cairo Santos in a corresponding move, according to a source. Succop will have to sit out the first half of the season now, so he's obviously not a fantasy option. Santos made 14 of his 18 field-goal attempts […]

Kenyan Drake Tops On The Depth Chart

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is listed as the team's No. 1 running back on their unofficial depth chart ahead of Kalen Ballage. Drake finished the 2018 season with 120 carries for 535 yards and four touchdowns. He also had a career-high 53 receptions for 477 yards and five additional scores. Drake isn't all […]

Jarvis Landry a WR3 in Week 1

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry will take on the Tennessee Titans for the Week 1 season opener. Landry missed a large part of the preseason while dealing with an undisclosed injury but he has been practicing regularly since mid-August. While the injury is no longer a concern, Landry's target volume is still a question […]

Offense To Revolve Around Evan Engram

The New York Giants passing game, especially early in the season with Eli Manning at quarterback, will revolve around running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram. Engram was second among all tight ends with 320 receiving yards over the final four weeks of last season. The Giants are planning for a huge role […]

Odell Beckham Jr. a Solid WR1 in Cleveland Debut

After missing all four preseason games, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will finally get a chance to make his debut in orange and brown in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Beckham, who dealt with a hip injury throughout the preseason, will settle in as a no-brainer WR1 in fantasy when he lines […]

Ezekiel Elliott In For Decreased Workload In Week 1?

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will practice with the team on Wednesday, but a source said that the plan is for Elliott to see 20 to 25 snaps in Week 1 against the Giants. Rookie Tony Pollard will be behind Elliott, with fullback Jamize Olawale as a third-down guy for pass-protection purposes. Elliott is […]

Jorge Lopez Promoted To Starting Spot

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jorge Lopez has been bumped up into the rotation moving forward. Manager Ned Yost told reporters about the move, stating that Lopez has been pitching better and is thus worthy of the spot. That's not really clear since he gave up nine earned runs in 11 innings of work scattered across […]

Eric Skoglund Bumped From Rotation

Kansas City Royals pitcher Eric Skoglund's stay in the rotation was a short one. After just two starts, Skoglund is being sent to the bullpen to make way for Jorge Lopez. Skoglund's last start was a debacle as he allowed six earned runs in four innings while walking three and only striking out one, but […]

Mike Montgomery Takes No-Decision Against Tigers

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Mike Montgomery posted another good outing on Tuesday, but bullpen struggles robbed him of the win. Montgomery allowed just one run in 5 2/3 innings, leaving with a 3-1 lead. Unfortunately, the back end of his bullpen fell apart a bit, and the Royals had to win the game on […]

Ian Kennedy Stumbles, Is Gifted Win

Kansas City Royals closer Ian Kennedy fumbled his save opportunity on Tuesday when he allowed the tying run to score in the top of the ninth inning, but a clutch home run by Ryan O'Hearn in the bottom half of the inning awarded Kennedy the win instead. Kennedy gave up three singles that allowed for […]

Hunter Dozier Snags Golden Sombrero

Kansas City Royals corner infielder Hunter Dozier was one of the few members of the team to struggle against the Tigers on Tuesday as he found himself flailing all day instead of adding to the team's run total. Dozier went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts on the day, earning his second golden sombrero of the season. […]

Whit Merrifield Knocks Three More Hits

Kansas City Royals utility player Whit Merrifield put up a trio of hits again on Tuesday, bringing him to 174 for the season. He also scored his 92nd run of the year as he continues his quest to the century mark. The infielder/outfielder has also hit safely in 13 of his last 15 games and […]

Ryan O'Hearn Walks Off Tigers

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn was the hero in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday when he pushed a 95 mph heater over the left center wall to walk off Detroit. O'Hearn was pinch hitting, and the fading fastball was the first pitch he saw on the night. The home run […]

Around The NFL Pop Quiz: NFC East

We're officially in the last week of preseason. Cuts are done. There are very few "sleepers" that haven't been written about, or who you can get at an affordable price. So I'll save the long, drawn-out introduction for my last article in this series. For now, thanks for reading this long, and if you're yet […]

Adalberto Mondesi Swipes Another One

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi appears to be completely unhindered by the separated shoulder that kept him on the Injured List for almost two months. Mondesi stole another base on Tuesday, giving him four in his first two games back. It's perfect timing for fantasy owners since most leagues' playoffs are just getting underway. […]

Jorge Soler Sets New Royals Record In Homers

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler's breakout season has now resulted in his name entering the KC record books. Soler ripped his 39th home run of the season on Tuesday, giving him the new record for most home run in a single season in franchise history. Soler also smacked a pair of singles in the […]
