Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters […]

Patrick Mahomes To Be Without Top Receiver

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the New Orleans Saints on Monday night in Week 5.

Macklin Celebrini To Miss Saturday's Action

San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini (lower body) will not play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (ankle) is expected to return to the field for the Week 5 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Tyler Badie Placed On Injured Reserve

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie (back) has been placed on the injured reserve prior to the Week 5 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Badie went down with a back injury during last week's game. It appears the injury is somewhat significant considering the team has placed him on the IR, so Badie will […]

Calle Jarnkrok Sits Out Preseason Finale

Talladega-2 DraftKings NASCAR Lineup Picks and Projections (Premium Content)

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We're on to the sixth and final superspeedway race of the season, as the Round of 12 in the playoffs continues with the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday afternoon. Talladega is one of the larger drafting superspeedways, but the DFS strategies […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Will Play Against Cleveland

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game versus the Browns. He was officially labeled as questionable heading into this contest. However, with Austin Ekeler (concussion) also cleared to play, the Commanders will have their top options out of the backfield. While Robinson's presence […]

Justin Haley An Easy DFS Pick After Qualifying 35th At Talladega

Justin Haley has a bunch of place-differential upside this weekend in the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, and because of that, the Spire Motorsports driver will likely be one of the highest-owned on the DFS slate. Haley qualified back in 35th for this weekend's race (out of 40 drivers). However, the question is, will he […]

Marcus Mariota Activated From Injured Reserve

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota (chest) was removed from the injured reserve list on Saturday. The veteran signed a one-year deal with Washington during the offseason. However, he hasn't stepped on the field for the Commanders. For now, Mariota is questionable for the Week 5 meeting with the Browns. Still, Jayden Daniels is the team's […]

Kyle Busch One Of The Best At Superspeedways In Next Gen

Don't be surprised if Kyle Busch runs up front (and finishes there as well) in Sunday's YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. "Rowdy" has the best average running position (12.61) as well as the best average finish (12.0) at Daytona and Talladega since the Next Gen era has started, with a total of 11 races included […]

Chad Ryland Elevated To The Active Roster

The Arizona Cardinals elevated kicker Chad Ryland to the active roster for Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 24-year-old had a rough season in 2023, making only 64% of his field goal attempts. While that type of production won't land him on most fantasy rosters, Saturday's move could mean Matt Prater, who is questionable, (knee) […]

Todd Gilliland Is Unplayable In DFS At Talladega

Todd Gilliland has typically been a DFS sleeper pick when the NASCAR Cup Series visits a drafting superspeedway, but that has always been when he qualified in the back half of the field. Now that Front Row Motorsports has completely figured out qualifying on the drafting tracks, though, that has made Todd Gilliland pretty much […]

Miguel Rojas Starting In Game 1 Of NLDS

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (groin) will start in Game 1 of the NLDS, according to Eric Stephen of SB Nation. Rojas was sidelined during the final series of the regular season with a minor groin injury and will return to the starting nine on Saturday evening.

Clayton Kershaw Will Not Pitch Again In 2024

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (toe) will not pitch again this season, according to David Vassegh of SportsNet LA.

The southpaw had a delayed […]

Mecole Hardman Questionable Versus The Saints

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Saints. The veteran didn't practice on Friday. However, he was a full participant on Saturday, so there's a good chance he'll suit up. With that said, despite the absences of Rashee Rice (knee) and Marquise Brown (shoulder), Hardman likely won't […]

Joe Flacco A Solid Streaming Option In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco came off the bench to help the Colts in Week 4, completing 16 of his 26 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns in the team's win. Now, reports suggest that Flacco will get the start again in Week 5, with Anthony Richardson (hip) marked as doubtful. Flacco gets a […]

Freddie Freeman Remains Uncertain For Game 1 Of NLDS

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) remains questionable for the opening game of the NLDS. Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reported that manager Dave Roberts said, "I'm hopeful. Maybe not as hopeful as I was yesterday," regarding the first baseman's status. This is not a good sign for the 35-year-old as he hopes […]

Bubba Wallace Has Disappointed In Almost All Talladega Starts

When the NASCAR Cup Series heads to a drafting superspeedway such as Daytona or Talladega, many people look toward Bubba Wallace as a race-winning contender. However, more often than not, Bubba disappoints--especially at Talladega. Although he does have a win here (in a rain-shortened race in 2021), that is Wallace's only finish better than 14th […]

Kareem Hunt Off The Injury Report

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Monday's matchup with the Saints. He was limited at practice on Thursday and Friday. However, he logged a full session on Saturday. The veteran looked good in his first game back with the Chiefs, amassing 69 yards off 14 carries, […]

Beware Of William Byron’s Possible Strategy Downfall At Talladega

William Byron and his No. 24 Chevrolet have been one on the best at superspeedways of late, as the Hendrick Motorsports driver has finished eighth or better in five of the last six races on this track type, including grabbing a win in this year's season-opening Daytona 500. However, a strategy call may hinder Byron's […]

Trey Sermon Up For A Big Workload In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon hasn't seen much action this season, but that is set to change in Week 5. With starting running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) confirmed out, Sermon is set to be the starter for Indianapolis in Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. He also draws a favorable matchup, with the Jaguars allowing […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Doubtful For Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Saints. The 25-year-old has practiced somewhat throughout the week, so he's moving in the right direction. However, fantasy managers must wait a little longer to see him back on the field. With Kareem Hunt (shoulder) off the injury report, he'll […]
