Undervalued PPR Targets for Fantasy Football Drafts: Alvin Kamara, Chris Godwin, Jake Ferguson, more

Most fantasy football managers either play in half-PPR or full-PPR leagues. That means drafting running backs, wide receivers, or tight ends who will catch a lot of passes is big. If you play in a PPR league and the tight end you draft catches 100 passes, that is an extra 100 points for your fantasy […]

Pat Freiermuth Hauls In 10-Yard Catch In Preseason Action

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught his lone target for a 10-yard gain in a 9-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills in preseason action on Saturday.

George Pickens Hauls In One Catch In Preseason Loss

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught one of his two targets for four yards in a 9-3 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. Pickens could have had a much bigger game as he made an impressive, one-handed contested catch along the sidelines but couldn't quite get his second foot down inbounds, resulting […]

Najee Harris Gets Four Carries In Preseason Action

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris carried the ball four times for 17 yards and was not targeted in the passing game in a 9-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills in preseason action on Saturday.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields played well in his team's 9-3 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.

Dalton Schultz Solid In Preseason Game, Leading All Texans In Targets

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz delivered his strongest preseason performance against the New York Giants on Saturday, catching three passes for 39 yards, including a standout 26-yard reception from C.J. Stroud. Schultz emerged as Stroud's most targeted player while the starters were on the field, receiving five of Stroud's 12 throws. This is a […]

John Metchie III Shines In Preseason Game

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III delivered his best preseason performance on Saturday against the New York Giants, recording a team-high six catches for 68 yards and his first professional touchdown—a 3-yard pass from Case Keenum.

Stefon Diggs Makes First Catch With Texans

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs made his presence felt in Saturday's preseason game against the New York Giants, catching a 9-yard pass from C.J. Stroud for a first down in Houston's 28-10 victory. Although Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowler acquired from the Buffalo Bills, only had one reception, it was special as it was […]

Struggles For Dameon Pierce Open Door For Cam Akers In Texans' Backfield Battle

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce started the preseason game against the New York Giants but struggled to make an impact, managing only four carries for five yards. Pierce averaged a disappointing 1.3 yards per carry, failing to show any improvement from his previous performance. In contrast, Cam Akers, serving as his primary backup, ran […]

C.J. Stroud Impresses In Second Preseason Game

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud delivered a strong performance in his second preseason game against the New York Giants, although the offense didn't score while he was on the field. Stroud led the Texans downfield on the opening drive effectively, but the team failed to convert a fourth down on the Giants' 6-yard line. Stroud […]

Jason Myers Misses Another PAT In Loss

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts in Saturday's preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. Myers made tries from 29, 48, and 50 yards out. The only blemish on his stat line was the missed extra point that followed Easop Winston Jr.'s first-quarter touchdown. The Titans' margin of victory in the […]

Easop Winston Jr. Catches TD Pass In Loss

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Easop Winston Jr. caught three of his four targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. The score was an absolute beauty. Barely a step ahead of cornerback Tre Avery, Winston looked over his shoulder as he crossed the goal line in time to […]

Kenny McIntosh Paces Seahawks Running Backs Against Titans

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh led the team in carries and rushing yards in Saturday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The second-year back had eight attempts for 46 yards and caught both of his targets for 17 yards through the air. McIntosh is competing with George Holani and Kobe Lewis to be the Seahawks' […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr's Speed Decline Has Received Little Notice

Ricky Stenhouse's significant decline in speed has somewhat flown under the radar for most of the year because fans tend to be harsher towards the drivers who crash most often than drivers who are merely slow even if their actual performance is worse. However, the spotlight did switch to Stenhouse in a big way in […]

Intermediate Tracks Still Don't Suit Ryan Preece

It's unclear whether Ryan Preece will be back in the NASCAR Cup Series again after this year with his team owner and biggest advocate Tony Stewart leaving the ownership ranks at the end of 2024. Preece has become an afterthought in the NASCAR Cup Series as his fellow Stewart-Haas teammates have not given him as […]

John Hunter Nemechek Still Struggling to Learn Next Gen Car

Although John Hunter Nemechek did win the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Michigan last year and finished third in yesterday's edition of that race, the prospects of him having a good run in today's Cup Series race seem dim. He still does not seem to have fully figured out the nuances of the Next Gen […]

Joey Logano Likely Ignoring Michigan to Focus on Playoffs

A week after Austin Dillon wrecked Joey Logano to win at Richmond and Logano retaliated by driving dangerously in a crowded pit lane, today's FireKeepers Casino 400 feels almost like an afterthought for both drivers. Logano's quite flukish win at Nashville locked him into the playoffs even though he has hardly had winning speed all […]

After Release from Spire Motorsports, Corey LaJoie Has Seemingly Lost Motivation

Now that his NASCAR Cup Series career seems to be coming to a close, it seems that Corey LaJoie may not be putting as much effort in as he was before Spire Motorsports released him. In last week's Richmond race, Carson Hocevar ranked 10th in speed while LaJoie was 35th-fastest. Although fans seem to disagree, […]

RFK Racing's Michigan Prowess May Help Justin Haley's Satellite Team

Justin Haley has consistently run mid-pack in his NASCAR Cup Series races at Michigan in the past. Although he did finish all three of his Cup Series starts, his average finish of 21.7 has been quite mediocre. However, he and new crew chief, Chris Lawson, have been generally outperforming their results in recent years and […]

Despite Increased Penske Speed, Austin Cindric Remains a Longshot at Michigan

Although Austin Cindric is frequently strong in qualifying, he continues to be consistently slower over a full race distance than in qualifying sessions for the most part, particularly outside road courses and drafting tracks, where he has gotten most of his top-10 finishes. Cindric is one driver who could possibly surprise when considering the speed […]

Chase Briscoe Mediocre at Michigan, Like Most Intermediates

Chase Briscoe has generally struggled on intermediate superspeedways in NASCAR Cup Series particularly since last year. Michigan is not an exception, as both his average finish and average running position at the track are around 21st--although he admittedly had one of his strongest intermediate runs in the 2022 Fontana race (a similar track in length). […]

Josh Berry's Michigan Chances Might Hinge on Rodney Childers's Setups

Josh Berry starts 16th in today's Michigan race. Although he unsurprisingly tends to be fastest on short tracks due to his vast late model experience, his team and crew chief, Rodney Childers, did win five of the last eight races at Michigan with Kevin Harvick behind the wheel. Berry also made a pass for the […]

AJ Allmendinger Full-time Again in 2025, but Likely Won't Deliver at Michigan

AJ Allmendinger will be making his first start in the NASCAR Cup Series at Michigan this afternoon after it was just announced on Thursday that he would return to the Cup Series full-time in 2025. However, don't expect much from him this weekend, as Michigan has never been one of his better tracks. He has […]

Sam Howell Throws TD In Preseason Loss

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Howell went 11-for-14 for 153 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. Howell looked shaky early on as the Titans blitzed aggressively out of the gate resulting in back-to-back three-and-outs. Howell actually fumbled while being sacked on the second drive but had the good fortune that a […]

Carlos Washington Jr. Rushes For 39 Yards Saturday

Atlanta Falcons running back Carlos Washington Jr. ran nine times in Saturday's game for 39 yards while receiving no work in the passing game in a 13-12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. After averaging less than 2.0 yards per carry last week on 16 attempts, Washington was much more efficient on the ground […]

Could Alex Bowman Be An Underrated Pick For DFS At Michigan?

For the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway, Alex Bowman will start 22nd after qualifying was canceled. This will be the second-lowest starting position in a Cup race at Michigan since his first start there with Hendrick Motorsports in 2016. In 14 Michigan races, Bowman has three top-10 finishes, which were scored in his […]

Taylor Heinicke Throws For 114 Yards Saturday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke threw for 114 yards and rushed twice for zero yards in a 13-12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens Saturday. It was an uneventful preseason game for the 31-year-old veteran, with no touchdown passes on 8-for-16 passing. Heinicke seems locked in as the QB3 on Atlanta's roster, but with the Falcons […]

Chris Blair Leads Falcons In Receiving On Saturday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Chris Blair finished with 91 receiving yards and four catches on five targets in a 13-12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. The former XFL star stepped things up in preseason Week 2, doubling his yards and targets from preseason Week 1. He remains low on the totem pole with […]
