Colby Parkinson Not A Recommended Week 9 Option

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson will face the Seattle Seahawks in a road matchup this Sunday. The 25-year-old has been mostly quiet this season aside from a 13-target, seven-catch game in Week 5's 24-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He'll get a middle-of-the-road matchup in Week 9 against a Seahawks D that's […]

Alec Pierce A Boom/Bust Week 9 Play

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce will get a tough draw on Sunday Night Football when his team squares off against the Minnesota Vikings. Pierce has been the epitome of a boom/bust wideout this season, with three outings of at least 16 fantasy points and five others in the single digits, including a goose egg […]

Cade Otton Remains A TE1 For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen his usage skyrocket lately. The 25-year-old has 17 receptions for 181 yards and two touchdowns over his last two games. The Bucs are banged up at wide receiver with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) both sidelined. They've also got Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Jalen […]

Mike Gesicki An Intriguing Stream Vs. Raiders

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki could again see a large target share in Week 9 when his team lines up against the Las Vegas Raiders at home. The 29-year-old veteran hasn't been the most consistent option this season but has produced two useful spike weeks thus far in his first year as a Bengal, […]

Is Brian Robinson Injured or Healthy? Is Brian Robinson Starting for Fantasy Football Week 9 of 2024?

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) has easily beaten the ~RB29 ADP that he was rated as before the season. In his third year as a pro, he emerged as a steady, reliable presence on fantasy football rosters. He's scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in all but one of his games this season.  […]

Rakim Jarrett Could See More Chances

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Rakim Jarrett made his season debut against the Atlanta Falcons last week. Jarrett hauled in all three of his targets for 58 yards in the loss. Normally, Jarrett would serve as depth, but the Bucs are extremely banged up at wideout. Both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) are […]

Christian Kirk Trade In The Works Before Injury

According to Adam Schefter, before Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk's (collarbone) injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a deal in the works to acquire him. Per Schefter, league sources told ESPN there was a "reasonable chance" that Kirk would be heading to the Steel City. However, that plan was derailed when the 27-year-old suffered a […]

Is Tony Pollard Injured or Healthy? Is Tony Pollard Starting for Fantasy Football Week 9 of 2024?

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) has been a surprise workhorse RB this season. After an offseason of plenty of evidence that the backfield would be roughly split, much of it coming from the new offensive coaching staff of the team itself, we've mainly seen his backup, Tyjae Spears (hamstring) have minimal impact. The […]

Bradley Beal Returning On Saturday Night

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (elbow) will play on Saturday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained right elbow. As a result, Ryan Dunn got the start, most recently scoring 16 points in Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Fantasy managers can get Beal back in […]

Formula 1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy F1 Lineup Picks

Well, Sunday will be interesting. Qualifying was rained out on Saturday, so the lineup for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix won't be set until Sunday morning. That means we don't have the full info when talking predictions for the race, which makes writing this article a little tough. Luckily, we do have the Sprint race to […]

Puka Nacua Traveling To Seattle

As reported by the NFL's Dianna Russini, the Los Angeles Rams expect wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) to play in Week 9. It's excellent news for the Rams and fantasy managers, as it appears Nacua's reaggravation of his preseason knee injury won't force him to miss Sunday's contest. The superstar wideout returned from a near-two […]

Trey Palmer Could See Heavier Workload

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer wasn't able to do much damage during last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 23-year-old hauled in both of his targets for 29 yards and served as the punt returner as well. Palmer has moved up on the depth chart with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin […]

Optimism Around Tony Pollard's Week 9 Status

Per Easton Freeze of the NFL, the Tennessee Titans are optimistic that running back Tony Pollard (foot) will play Sunday in Week 9. Pollard was a non-participant this week in Titans' practice and is officially listed as questionable for this weekend's home tilt against the New England Patriots. However, it appears the team is still […]

Sean Tucker Could See Expanded Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has been quiet since his 136-yard outburst in Week 6. However, Tucker could see more action against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. The Bucs have gone to a committee approach in the backfield. Tucker is normally the third option, but he could see more chances with Bucky […]

Ben Simmons Questionable Versus The Pistons On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons (back) is questionable for Sunday's contest versus Detroit. It's the first of back-to-back outings for Brooklyn, so if Simmons plays against the Pistons, he likely won't be out there on Monday against the Grizzlies. The 28-year-old started in all five of his appearances this season. But he hasn't been […]

Rachaad White Has Strong PPR Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White hasn't found much success on the ground this season. He has fallen into a running back committee which has decreased his rushing attempts. However, fellow back Bucky Irving (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. If Irving sits, White […]

Baker Mayfield Remains QB1 For Tough Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has been slinging the ball all season long. In fact, Mayfield has thrown for over 325 yards in each of the last three games. There was some concern that Mayfield would struggle without his top wide receivers in Chris Godwin (ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) last week. That was […]

Joc Pederson To Test Free Agency

Arizona Diamondbacks designated hitter Joc Pederson has declined the end of his mutual option and will test free agency, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The 32-year-old slugger enjoyed a fantastic season in the desert in 2024, posting a career-best .275/.393/.515 slash line with 23 home runs and 64 RBI. Even though Pederson was in […]

Isaiah Jackson Suffers Achilles Injury

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) is done for the season after suffering an injury during Friday's game. Jackson suffered a torn right Achilles tendon which was a non-contact play during Friday's loss. Fellow big man James Wiseman (Achilles) suffered a season-ending injury on Opening Night. The Pacers have now lost two big men what […]

Anthony Rizzo Headed To Free Agency

The New York Yankees are declining their 2025 club option on first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Rizzo had one of the worst seasons of his career this summer as he posted an underwhelming .228/.301/.335 line with eight home runs, 35 RBI, with a 27:65 BB:K ratio. Under the hood, Rizzo saw his metrics dropped to career […]

Anfernee Simons Good To Go On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (arm) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Simons fell on his arm during Friday's loss, but it seems like it was a minor issue. Simons appears to be fine and should play his normal workload on Saturday. He put together […]

Milwaukee Picking Up Option On Freddy Peralta

The Milwaukee Brewers will be picking up their 2025 club option on starting pitcher Freddy Peralta, according to Jon Heyman of the NY Post. The 28-year-old operated as the ace of the Milwaukee rotation in 2024 and held a 3.68 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, with a 68:200 BB:K ratio across 173 2/3 frames of work. […]

Andrew Wiggins To Suit Up On Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (back) is back in the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Wiggins will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a lower back strain. His return will push Lindy Waters III to the bench, which will […]

Ha-Seong Kim Headed To Free Agency

According to Dennis Lin of The Athletic, San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim has declined his mutual option with the team and will enter free agency. The infielder ended his campaign early after suffering a shoulder injury in August, which caused him to undergo surgery in October. Through 121 games this season, the 29-year-old held […]

Craig Porter Jr. Cleared To Play On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Craig Porter Jr. (thumb) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Porter hasn't played in each of the last three games due to a right thumb sprain. He's available on Saturday, but hasn't seen more than eight minutes when healthy. However, Caris LeVert (knee) has been […]

Cubs Decline Club Option On Drew Smyly

The Chicago Cubs declined their 2025 club option on left-handed pitcher Drew Smyly, according to Jon Heyman of the NY Post. Smyly operated exclusively out of the bullpen last summer and held a modest 3.84 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, with a 25:56 BB:K ratio across 58 2/3 innings of work. This was a significant improvement […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As expected, Antetokounmpo will play despite dealing with a knee issue. The Bucks continue to list him as probable, but Antetokounmpo has suited up every game this season. He has finished with a double-double every game […]

Doug McDermott Slides Into Starting Five

Sacramento Kings forward Doug McDermott will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran forward will get the starting nod with Kevin Huerter (illness) unable to play. Keon Ellis figured to get the start, but the Kings decided to go with McDermott. Normally, McDermott isn't a great fantasy […]

Jamal Murray Unavailable On Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. This doesn't come as much of a shock after Murray was forced to exit early during Friday's game. He's currently in the league's concussion protocol, which could mean he misses a few games. The Nuggets haven't named […]
