Tyler Lockett Expected To Play In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) is expected to play Sunday against the Denver Broncos. He is coming off a down year, having failed to reach 1,000 yards receiving and scored under eight touchdowns for the first time in five years. Lockett will join DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle's clear top three […]

Jalen Ramsey Will Attempt To Play On Sunday

Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl defensive back Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) will try to play through his hamstring injury in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He may be limited in the number of snaps he takes to help reduce the risk of re-aggravating the injury, though, and it's yet to be seen how many. Ramsey missed […]

The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Fantasy Baseball Week 25

Welcome back to The Cut List for Week 25 of the 2024 fantasy baseball season -- September 9 through September 15. This is our weekly article looking at players whom fantasy managers might be considering cutting from their teams and struggling players who need a closer look. We'll look at players worthy of a drop, […]

Bubba Wallace Should Contend at Atlanta, but More Likely to Win at Talladega

Although Bubba Wallace narrowly missed the playoffs after Chase Briscoe's win in last week's Southern 500, drafting tracks tend to be his best track type. However, he tends to be better at Daytona and Talladega than at Atlanta, where he never earned a top ten finish until this year's winter race when he finished fifth. […]

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. Still Consistent on Drafting Tracks, but Leading Much Less

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. has been regarded as one of the leading drafting track specialists for many years now, and he did indeed earn a sixth-place finish in the winter race at Atlanta and a fourth at Talladega this year, but his speed decline that has persisted throughout the season has affected him at those tracks […]

Ryan Preece Unlikely to Benefit From Ford Speed at Atlanta

Ryan Preece has not had the speed of any of his Stewart-Haas Racing teammates this season, and that looks likely to continue in this afternoon's Atlanta race. While all three of his teammates have had bursts of speed on drafting tracks, Preece mostly hasn't since his JTG-Daugherty Racing days and his 21st place qualifying run […]

Michael McDowell Wins Series-Best Fifth Pole at Atlanta but Probably Lacks Racecraft to Win

Michael McDowell won his fifth pole of the season for this afternoon's Quaker State 400, tying Kyle Larson for the most this season. This marked his fourth consecutive pole on a drafting track, the longest such streak since Bill Elliott won six straight poles at Daytona and Talladega in 1985 and 1986. However, while qualifying […]

Erik Jones Has Lost Superspeedway Mojo Since Switch to Toyota

Erik Jones used to be regarded for many years as one of the best superspeedway drivers, but this seems to have faded in recent years. Although he did lead often in drafting races in the first year with the Next Gen chassis in 2022, he has seldom contended at those tracks or anywhere else since […]

Expect Carson Hocevar to Ride in the Back Again at Atlanta

Although Carson Hocevar had his first crash DNF since the Daytona 500 in last week's Southern 500, he has been surprisingly good at avoiding crashes despite his overaggressive style, which is the main reason he is beating Josh Berry for Rookie of the Year even though Berry has had more speed. He seems to be […]

Daniel Hemric Consistent on Drafting Tracks Despite Lack of Speed

Although Daniel Hemric has been one of the slowest drivers this season, his 14th-place qualifying run yesterday matches his best of the season at the spring Dover race and he's been genuinely quite consistent on drafting tracks because he's been less crash-prone than most other drivers this year and crash avoidance is often sufficient to […]

Noah Gragson Likely Running Too Anonymously to Contend at Atlanta

Noah Gragson has had a fairly anonymous season as his teammates Josh Berry and Chase Briscoe have outperformed him throughout the season, but Gragson has been most successful on the superspeedways as his best run of the season came in the spring Talladega race, where he finished third and posted the best driver rating in […]

Shane Van Gisbergen Has Drafting Speed, but Still Has a Lot to Learn

Shane van Gisbergen makes his Atlanta debut in the NASCAR Cup Series today from 28th but he has already run two NASCAR Xfinity Series races at the track. In the winter race, he unexpectedly finished third after dodging the wrecks but he hit the wall in yesterday's Xfinity race while running in the top ten, […]

Austin Dillon Mediocre at Atlanta Despite Strong Drafting Record

Although Austin Dillon has had some good finishes at Daytona and Talladega, he hasn't been nearly as successful at Atlanta either before or after it became a drafting track. Despite the speed his teammate Kyle Busch has regularly shown including losing out in the three-wide photo finish in the winter Atlanta race, Dillon has never […]

Harrison Burton Probably Won't Repeat Daytona Performance at Atlanta

After improbably winning the last drafting race in the NASCAR Cup Series at Daytona to make the playoffs, Harrison Burton sits in the awkward position of being a playoff contender without a ride for next year. As a result, Burton will probably be trying really hard to prove himself more to land a ride for […]

Chase Briscoe Unlikely to Contend at Atlanta Despite Unexpected Playoff Bid

After his successful Hail Mary in last week's Southern 500 granted him a playoff bid, Chase Briscoe qualified tenth for tomorrow's Atlanta race. He has been consistently fast in qualifying on drafting tracks with the Next Gen car as this marks his 11th top ten start in 17 races, but he hasn't run very well […]

Josh Berry Has Solid Speed, but Crash Frequency Raises Concerns for Atlanta

Josh Berry starts fourth at Atlanta, extending a bizarre trend where he has qualified in the top five for every odd-numbered race since Iowa. Although he's rarely thought of as a superspeedway driver, he was very fast at Daytona, where he had one of the best runs before he and Austin Cindric crashed while battling […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Week 25

More and more fantasy baseball leagues are getting deeper and deeper into their playoffs, which unfortunately also means fewer and fewer fantasy managers still have all that hope that ran rampant in the spring. But still, those who are still alive in their leagues are alive in their leagues, and every little thing matters! This […]

Ja'Marr Chase Unlikely To Get New Deal Prior To Kickoff

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (illness, hold-in) remains questionable for Sunday's contest versus the New England Patriots. The wideout spent most of training camp spectating while searching for a new contract. As a result, various reports over the last month or so indicated he may not be willing to play until he gets a […]

Antonio Gibson Anticipated To Suit Up In Week 1

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson (hip) is anticipated to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Bengals. The former Commander appeared in Thursday's edition of the injury report because of a hip issue, which limited his participation at practice. Fortunately, he felt a little better on Friday, so things were moving in the […]

Are you ready for some postseason action!? With 26 races complete in the NASCAR Cup Series season, we've officially made it to the playoffs, and we now have 10 races before we crown a champion.

San Francisco 49ers D/ST In Play For Week 1 Lineups

The San Francisco 49ers defense / special teams unit opens up against the New York Jets at home on Monday night. San Francisco entered 2023 projected to be a Top-3 fantasy squad but failed to hit such a lofty mark, finishing 11th in the NFL by Yahoo default scoring. It wasn't that the Niners were […]

Brad Keselowski Is A Top DFS Option For Atlanta Lineups

Brad Keselowski of RFK Racing will start the Quaker State 400 from the 19th position. This will be just the third time in his Cup career since Atlanta's reconfiguration in 2022 that Keselowski will start inside the Top 20. In the previous five Atlanta Cup races since the Next-Gen car was introduced in 2022, Keselowski […]

Is Todd Gilliland Worth Rostering In Tournament Lineups?

Todd Gilliland of Front Row Motorsports qualified third for the Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It is the highest starting position ever for Gilliland in his Cup career at Atlanta and the second consecutive time he will start inside the Top 5 at the site. In five starts at AMS, Gilliland has three […]

Joey Logano a Top Contender at Atlanta This Weekend

All 16 playoff drivers are looking to grab a win at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend to lock in their advancement to the Round of 12, and the road to victory lane will likely have to go through Joey Logano. Over the five races on the "new" Atlanta track, Logano has led 290 total laps […]

Ty Gibbs Might Pay Off Well For DFS Lineups At Atlanta

In qualifying for Sunday's Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Ty Gibbs of Joe Gibbs Racing will start 20th. This will be the third start for Gibbs at Atlanta in the Cup Series, where he will begin the race outside of the Top 10. In three Cup starts at Atlanta, Gibbs has two top-10 […]

Chase Elliott Should Be Strong at Atlanta

Look for Chase Elliott to be strong in Sunday afternoon's Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Since the track was repaved and reconfigured prior to the 2022 season, Elliott has the third-best average running position at Atlanta while grabbing one win and no result worse than 15th in his four starts at the track. […]

Corey Lajoie One of the Highest-Scoring Drivers at Superspeedways

"Potential" has always been a good word to describe Corey Lajoie when it comes to superspeedway racing. Believe it or not, the Spire Motorsports driver has been one of the highest-scoring DFS drivers on this track type over the last few years. That often comes down to Lajoie's ability to avoid wrecks and survive the […]
