Vernon Davis Likely Out With Knee Injury

San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis will likely miss Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers due to a knee injury. He reportedly went through warmups on Friday, but headed back to the weight room before practice began. Davis' absence should mean more targets for wide receivers Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin, but it […]

Brian Quick Finally Ready to See Some Playing Time

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Brian Quick will finally see some playing time after suffering a torn rotator cuff last season. Although Quick was said to be healthy to open the regular season, coach Jeff Fisher hasn't let him see the field up to this point. That, however, is all about to change on Sunday […]

Joique Bell Misses Practice Again on Friday

Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell has missed practice again and is questionable for Monday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. Even if Bell does play, he is not a recommended fantasy football start. Not only are the Seahawks a tough team to run against, Ameer Abdullah will see the bulk of the playing time […]

Marshawn Lynch Will Be a Game-Time Decision

Everybody hates a player that's a game-time decision, especially when they player was a first-round fantasy football draft pick like Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. Despite Lynch "working hard rehabbing and trying to get back," we are not expected to know his status until an hour or two before kickoff on Sunday. Although Lynch […]

Andrew Luck Expected to Play vs. Jaguars

Andrew Luck owners have been on the edge of their seats waiting for an update on his status for Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. On Friday, Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano gave us a little relief by telling the media he's "absolutely" confident that Luck will play Sunday. Fantasy owners were alarmed after they heard […]

LeSean McCoy to Miss Several Weeks?

If you own LeSean McCoy in any of your fantasy football leagues, you will not like hearing this. The star running back has said that he absolutely will not return to the football field until he is 100 percent healthy. "One thing I promised myself is I can't go out there if I'm not 100 […]

English Premier League Predictions - Saturday 3rd October 2015

The latest rounds of EPL fixtures await and beware the dreaded Champions League hangover. Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion A terrible loss for West Brom against Everton, who in the space of 30 minutes went from a projected 7th in the league to 15th, will motivate the Baggies and they will be keen to put […]

Is Gary Barnidge A Deeper Week 4 Lineup Sleeper?

Everyone has been asking all week: Gary who? Regardless of which team he has been on in the past few seasons, be it the Carolina Panthers or the Cleveland Browns, Barnidge has been buried on the depth chart playing behind Pro-Bowl tight ends in Greg Olsen and Jordan Cameron. Now, he finally gets his chance […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

This is a player that has been under the radar all season. Does anyone remember a couple years ago when Shorts broke out for the Jacksonville Jaguars? He put up 55 catches, 979 yards and 7 TDs in 14 games. That is almost 18 yards per catch. Since then, he has become more of a […]

Cameron Artis-Payne (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

This may be a pick that even I look back at and try to figure out what I was thinking. But, as of the time I am writing this article, starting RB Jonathan Stewart and power back Mike Tolbert are yet to practice this week. This leaves the backfield to the rookie Artis-Payne and journeyman […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, NO) - Players Showing Warning Signals

I didn’t want to overload you with repeats this week so I decided to dig a little deeper down the list and look for a player who wasn’t drafted as high as the others but is disappointing all the same. Brandin Cooks has yet to find the endzone or reach 100 yards in a game […]

C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Another year of fantasy, another year of not knowing what to make of the Denver backfield. It feels like we do this every September--we talk about how this is an offense that likes to utilize one specific back and how much fantasy value they’ll have with Peyton Manning under center. We eventually settle on one […]

Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Another player appearing on this list for the second straight week is Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. After a terrible first week, Johnson’s numbers have improved slightly due to an increased target total. My concern with Megatron isn’t even his talent or usage, it’s the fact that this offense can’t seem to get anything […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals

So last week I essentially told you to relax and not worry too much about Andrew Luck. My thinking was that every superstar struggles at some point in the season, and it was likely that we had already seen Luck’s worst two performances of the year. Well, he wasn’t as terrible in Week 3 but it’s […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Right off the bat we have a struggling running back that I’ve been talking up since June. It pains me to say it, but I’m already vastly disappointed by his usage thus far. Luckily, a lot of Hill’s struggles seem to be tied to just that--usage. It’s been made clear that the Bengals prefer Giovani […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 10/2/15

It’s here: The final Friday of the MLB regular season arrives on October 2nd. It was a long season full of plenty of ups and downs, lessons learned, and, hopefully, spoils won.

Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lance Dunbar is a tough guy to justify putting in your starting lineup, given he was expected to be the third running back on his own depth chart -- and is still just second -- but he has proven productive enough to at least […]

Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 27

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire for Week 27, the final days of the fantasy baseball season. The more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn […]

Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 4 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 4 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings Targets.

It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices […]

Maikel Franco (Wrist) Activated From DL

The Philadelphia Phillies activated Maikel Franco from the 15-day DL on Thursday. It is unclear on whether the third baseman will play at all over the last four games of the 2015 season. Franco has been sidelined for six weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his right wrist. The good news is that he was […]

Matz (Back) To Start Saturday Or Sunday

Steven Matz is expected to start either Saturday or Sunday against the Washington Nationals. The New York Mets starting pitcher’s scheduled start has been moved twice because of stiffness in the right side of his back. Matz is feeling better, which is why the Mets will throw him out there over the final weekend of […]

Bumgarner Won't Pitch On Sunday's Finale

Madison Bumgarner won't start the in the regular-season finale on Sunday for the San Francisco Giants. There’s no physical issue that is keeping the Giants ace off the mound against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. The 2014 World Series champions are simply going to shut Bumgarner down and let him start to prepare for the […]

Robles Suspended 3 Games For Throwing At Ruf's Head

Hansel Robles has been suspended three games for “intentionally” throwing a pitch in the direction of Darin Ruf’s head. The New York Mets reliever was throwing at the Philadelphia Phillies first baseman in response to Yoenis Cespedes being thrown at earlier. Cespedes injured his hand and wrist when he was drilled. At the time, the […]

Tanaka Likely To Start Wild Card Game For Yankees

Masahiro Tanaka is in line to most likely start the AL Wild Card game on Tuesday for the New York Yankees. The right-hander recently suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain, though he returned on Wednesday. Tanaka allowed four runs in five innings of work in his return against the Boston Red Sox. The 26-year-old is […]
