Kayshon Boutte Avoidable Based On Matchup, QB Questions

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has recently emerged as his team's busiest and most productive player at the position, but even he is still tough to trust heading into Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans.

Demario Douglas Carries Shaky Stretch Into Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas has been ineffective over the last two weeks, averaging just two catches and 13 yards while seeing a reduction in snaps.

Cooper Kupp A Must-Start Option Against Seattle In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp looks to return to WR1 form after his solid return in Week 8, even though fellow wideout Puka Nacua (knee) overshadowed him.

Nikolaj Ehlers Totals Four Points Versus Blue Jackets

Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers had a field day against the Blue Jackets on Friday, completing a 6-2 road victory with his fifth career hat trick and four points.

Cairo Santos A Steady But Unexciting Kicker Option For Week 9

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid yet somewhat unexciting fantasy option for Week 9 as he prepares to face the Arizona Cardinals.

Bears Defense Looks To Rebound, Faces Off Against Arizona

The Chicago Bears' defense and special teams are looking to rebound this week as they face the Arizona Cardinals.

The Bears must regroup quickly, as they […]

Cole Kmet A Boom-or-Bust Tight End This Week

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is positioned as a solid starter this week, largely due to a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals secondary.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze has the potential for a strong performance this Sunday as he faces a vulnerable Arizona Cardinals secondary.

However, his six targets indicate that […]

Keenan Allen Ready For A Bounce-Back Against The Cardinals

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen is looking to bounce back this week as he faces a mediocre Arizona Cardinals secondary. After a frustrating performance against an improved Washington Commanders defense last week, where he led the team in targets with seven but only managed to haul in two catches for 39 yards, Allen is […]

DJ Moore A Solid WR2/WR3 With Breakout Potential Against Arizona

This week, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is a solid WR2/WR3 option. However, there is some downside to consider against the struggling Arizona Cardinals secondary, which currently ranks 30th in EPA per pass this season. Moore's season has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with inconsistent performances that have prevented him from reaching the […]

Roschon Johnson, The Bears’ Goal-Line Back A Risky Play In Week 9

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson is eager for increased opportunities this week as he takes on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9.

D'Andre Swift A Must-Start RB2 In Week 9 Against The Cardinals

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is poised to be a strong RB2 for Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, a game that presents an excellent opportunity for him to shine.

Caleb Williams Looking To Rebound In Week 9

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams presents a compelling fantasy option as he faces off against the Arizona Cardinals. Williams is eager to bounce back after a disappointing outing against the Washington Commanders in Week 8, where he completed just ten of 24 passes for 131 yards without any touchdowns. While the growing […]

Dan Vladar Shuts Out Devils Friday Night

Calgary Flames goaltender Dan Vladar registered a 22-save shutout in Friday's 3-0 victory over New Jersey. He picked up his first shutout of the year, bouncing back from three consecutive losses.

Adam Pelech Makes Early Exit Versus Sabres
