Jordan Howard Could Score a Few Touchdowns This Season

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard could see the end zone many times this season. Set to work as the short-yardage back, Howard won't have the volume to provide consistent fantasy value, but he could have several multi-touchdown weeks. It looks like rookie Miles Sanders will be the lead back with passing game help from […]

Alshon Jeffery Could Have Peaks and Valleys Upcoming

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is set to have several huge games this season. He is also, however, a candidate to have some quiet outings as well. With the Eagles adding DeSean Jackson and several talented running backs to the offense, quarterback Carson Wentz will not be forced to focus on Jeffery in games […]

Zach Ertz May Get Fewer Targets, but Will Still Be a TE1

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz may cede some targets to rising sophomore Dallas Goedert this season, but he should still get more than enough to be a solid top-tier TE1 in all fantasy formats. Ertz ended up with a ridiculous and unsustainable target share last season, but with DeSean Jackson added to the wide […]

Stephen Strasburg Strikes Out 14 Marlins

Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg picked up his 12th-straight victory over the Marlins since 2015, dominating Miami for eight innings as the Nationals won 7-0. Strasburg allowed two first-inning singles before retiring the next 22 Marlins, 14 of them via strikeout and is now 4-0 against Miami in 2019 with a 1.19 ERA. That's double-digit […]

Clay Buchholz Picks Up First Win of Season

Toronto starter Clay Buchholz picked up his first win of 2019, defeating the Houston Astros in his second start back from injury. Buchholz went 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits while walking five. Buchholz had virtually the same line in his first start back from the IL, when he got hung with […]

Carson Wentz Ready for a Healthy 2019 Season

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz saw his quarterback room go through several changes during the preseason, but he himself should be all set to go for a healthy and productive 2019 season. Wentz played as many preseason snaps and you and I, but he's looking at another possible MVP-level campaign if he stays on the […]

Teoscar Hernandez Homers on Saturday

Toronto outfielder Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run home run off of Houston starter Framber Valdez on Saturday night, driving in Randall Grichuk in a 6-4 victory over the Astros. The streaky outfielder was hot earlier in August but has cooled off in the last two weeks, with tonight's home run only his second in 17 […]

Cavan Biggio Homers in Second Straight Game

Toronto second baseman Cavan Biggio continued to torture his famous father's former team, homering in his second straight game in a 6-4 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Biggio also doubled in a run and now has 12 HR, 35 RBI, and 47 runs scored in 77 games for Toronto on the year. […]

Mitch Garver and Twins Break Single Season Home Run Record

After sitting in Minnesota's last two games, Twins catcher Mitch Garver hit his third home run in his last two games on Saturday night, giving him 26 HR on the season. His second blast also gave Minnesota the single-season home run record, breaking the old record of 267 set by the Yankees just last year. […]

T.J. Hockenson Ready To Earn Targets

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson has already proved himself as a worthy first round draft pick through training camp and preseason. Hockenson and Stafford already seem to be on the same page and if that can continue, the young tight end could be in for a sneakily productive season. In most drafts, Hockenson will […]

Devante Parker Could Be Top Option in Miami Following Trade of Stills

Enigmatic Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker saw one of his biggest competitors for targets disappear on Saturday, when Miami traded wide receiver Kenny Stills to Houston, along with offensive tackle Larry Tunsil. While Parker has been the first Dolphin wide receiver being taken in fantasy drafts this year, with his 165 ADP slightly ahead of […]

Kenny Golladay Ready For WR1 Role

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has stated that he is ready to be the WR1 on the Lions and that he has the potential of being a 100-catch receiver. There is no doubt that Golladay has the talent and desire to do just that. In most drafts, Golladay is going in the fourth to […]

Mike Gesicki Could Be In For Bigger Role

Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki had a successful preseason, catching six passes for 79 yards in his three games. Notably, Gesicki's best performance was in the third game, when he played in seven drives with starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, catching three balls for 59 yards, including a 29-yard catch and run. While the Dolphins aren't going […]

Matthew Stafford Ready For Week 1

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is healthy and ready for Week 1. Stafford's fantasy value has been similar the last couple of years, and will be the same this year: he's a solid real-life quarterback but isn't an excellent fantasy producer. He'll rack up some yards, a touchdown or two, and limit turnovers but likely […]

Kalen Ballage Set For Timeshare in Miami

Miami running back Kalen Ballage sat out the Dolphins final preseason game, playing in a total of two games and rushing for 40 yards on 18 carries. The second-year back will be will likely be splitting carries with starter Kenyan Drake and may end up with more goal-line carries, being the larger of the two […]

Carolina Panthers Defense Week 1 Outlook

The Carolina Panthers Defense will enter the 2019 season after finishing as the DEF21 in fantasy in 2018. The Panthers added edge rusher Brian Burns in the NFL draft and are hoping he can improve a squad that allowed 23.9 points per game last year. They face a tough test against Jared Goff and the […]

Rams Defense In For An Early Test

The Los Angeles Rams will take on the Carolina Panthers on the road in Week 1, and the Rams Defense will be tested by versatile third-year running back Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey rushed for 1,098 yards and seven touchdowns last season, but what made him so dynamic were his 107 receptions for 867 yards and six […]

Michael Gallup Could Be Set for a Solid Sophomore Season

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup had some ups and downs as a rookie, but he should be set for a more productive and consistent season as a sophomore. His preseason usage suggests that he will be counted on as the "lid lifter" against opposing defenses, and that could create opportunities for some big games. […]

Jaguars Need Nick Foles To Succeed

On Saturday, NFL teams trimmed their rosters down, and the Jacksonville Jaguars chose to go with just two quarterbacks: veteran Nick Foles, who was signed in the offseason, and untested rookie Gardner Minshew. Minshew had a mediocre preseason and doesn't look ready to play serious NFL snaps, so the Jaguars will need Nick Foles to […]

Karan Higdon Waived

Since Lamar Miller went down with a season-ending knee injury, the main question with the Houston Texans running back was whether undrafted free agent running back Karan Higdon or fellow UDFA back Damarea Crockett would make the team and see early-down work. But after Saturday's trade for Carlos Hyde, the answer is neither. Crockett was […]

Kenny Stills Traded To Texans

The Houston Texans have acquired wide receiver Kenny Stills as part of a deal with the Miami Dolphins that also landed the team left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Stills' fit in Houston is intriguing, as he has the speed to be a major downfield threat for quarterback Deshaun Watson. The problem lies with the construction of […]

All Aboard The Alexander Mattison Hype Train

The Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison is generating significant hype this preseason. They were "all raving about," Mattison, writes The Athletic's, Jay Glazer. Bucky Brooks of NFL.com wrote, "He plowed through the line with force on inside runs and flashed soft hands..." Along with this hype, there is also some substance. He has […]

Mike Weber Cut by the Cowboys

Rookie running back Mike Weber was cut by the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. Weber was drafted with the 218th overall pick but was outplayed by fellow rookie Tony Pollard in the preseason. If Weber makes it through waivers, he's likely to spend some time on the Cowboys practice squad.

Josh Adams Gets Cut by the Eagles

Running back Josh Adams was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Adams led the Eagles in rushing last season but didn't have much of a chance to make the team this season with the newly acquired running backs on the Eagles roster. He'll very likely find a new team before next weekend.

Wendell Smallwood Waived by the Eagles

Running back Wendell Smallwood was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Smallwood was on the outside looking in all preseason since the Eagles beefed up their backfield. He's a decent enough player as a depth piece and should have a job this season at least as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Matt Ryan Primed For Another Monster Year

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has been an elite fantasy quarterback two of the past three years, throwing for over 4,900 yards with 35+ touchdowns in both 2016 and 2018. This year, he figures to have another standout year with a strong supporting cast that features Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Devonta Freeman and Mohamed Sanu. […]

Ito Smith: A Freeman Handcuff With Potential Upside

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith currently has an average draft position (ADP) around 165 with about 50 running backs going ahead of him. He appears to be set as the #2 running back for the Falcons behind Devonta Freeman. As long as Freeman is healthy and effective, Smith is unlikely to provide any value. […]

Mohamed Sanu: Possible Late Round Target In Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu is entering his fourth year with the Falcons. He's caught between 59 and 67 passes each of the past three years and had a career-high 838 receiving yards last year. Sanu and Calvin Ridley are the secondary receivers to star wideout Julio Jones, but there's a lot of reason […]

Calvin Ridley: Solid WR2 Target In Drafts

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a monstrous rookie season to the tune of 64 catches, 821 yards and ten touchdowns. While repeating that touchdown total might be tough, it's very likely he could improve upon his rookie year catches and yards totals. Ridley is the second option in a potent Atlanta passing game, […]

Devonta Freeman Could Be A Draft Day Bargain

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had his 2018 season derailed after undergoing surgery on his groin. He only appeared in two games last year after playing 14+ games in each of his first four seasons. This year, Freeman is typically going in the third round of fantasy drafts, despite the fact that there are […]
