Fantasy Football Running Back Position Battles After Week 4 - De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, D'Andre Swift, more

As Week 5 approaches, some highly speculated backfields from the preseason start to finally take their shape. It seems as if every year, the running back position in fantasy football becomes increasingly challenging to navigate in the offseason. These days, teams now view the position as interchangeable as ever. It appears the days of “workhorse” […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Playoffs Week 1

Playoffs? Yes, we are talking about playoffs! We've made it through a full season, some (most?) of us with multiple fantasy leagues besides the real-life teams that we root for (RIP 2023 Marlins). There are still some fantasy leagues running in the playoffs, and DFS is always a thing, so Closers and Saves Report will […]

2023 NFL QB Power Rankings: All 32 Starting Quarterbacks After Week 4

Week 4 came and went with some quarterbacks getting their groove back while others continued to struggle. Patrick Mahomes overcame a shaky performance to perform in the clutch, while Joe Burrow and the Bengals continued to crash and burn offensively.

Should I Start Calvin Ridley in Week 5? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Calvin Ridley was suspended by the NFL for the entirety of last season due to a violation of the league's gambling policy. Earlier this offseason, the Atlanta Falcons traded him to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for multiple draft picks based on the stipulations. The AFC South franchise viewed him as an ideal player to […]

We roll into October of the last great college football season. The first month was a wild one and it only promises to get better!

Broncos Defense Has Favorable Matchup Against Jets

The Denver Broncos defense has the dubious distinction of allowing a league-high 37.5 points per game heading into a favorable Week 5 matchup at home against the New York Jets, mainly because of their 70-point fiasco against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. They've also allowed a league-high 461.5 total yards per game and a […]

Wil Lutz A Sleeper Streaming Option At Kicker

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz missed a field goal and an extra point in his debut with the team in the season opener, but since then he's made all five of his field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries in three games. Heading into Week 5 against the New York Jets in Denver, […]

Quentin Musty Signs Entry-Level Deal

San Jose Sharks forward prospect Quentin Musty signed an entry-level contract with the team on Wednesday. Musty was selected 26th overall in the first round of this year's NHL entry draft. He has had back-to-back 70-point seasons with the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL and will look to build on that this upcoming year. If […]

Mikko Rantanen Dealing With Lower-Body Injury

Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, according to head coach Jared Bednar. Rantanen's injury isn't much of a concern, and he should be ready to go for opening night. Last year, the big-bodied Finn put up his first-ever 100-point season, notching 55 goals and 50 assists. He is being drafted […]

Adam Trautman Belongs On The Waiver Wire

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman should be as far away from fantasy rosters as possible after failing to catch any of his four targets over the last three games. Trautman caught all five of his targets in his Broncos debut in the season opener for 34 yards after Greg Dulcich (hamstring) went down with […]

Byron Buxton Hopes To Play This Postseason

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is continuing to rehab his sore right knee in hopes of playing this postseason. Buxton has been out since Aug 2 when he strained his right hamstring. During rehab, his right knee began to bother him, and he hasn't been able to get back to a level where he […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Remains A Boom-Or-Bust Deep-League Flex Play

Believe it or not, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. leads the team with 242 receiving yards through the first four weeks. He's done it on just nine receptions (11 targets) and is averaging a healthy 26.9 yards per catch as a speedy big-play threat down the field. Mims has also scored a […]

Jerry Jeudy Should Play After Full Practice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) is back on the injury report for Week 5 with a knee injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday, but a return to a full practice on Thursday puts him on track to play this Sunday in a difficult matchup against the New York Jets. Jeudy is […]

Courtland Sutton Has Difficult Matchup Ahead

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has exceeded expectations through the first four weeks of the 2023 season, checking in as the WR18 in half-PPR scoring with three touchdowns in four games played. He leads the team in receptions (20) and targets (28), is second in receiving yards (216) and is tied for the lead […]

Nick Anderson Could Pitch For Braves This Postseason

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson (shoulder) could be an option in the later rounds of the playoffs, should the Braves make it there. Anderson has been rehabbing a strained right shoulder and appears to be ready to go if needed. He got up to 94 mph on his fastball, a mark he was at […]

Samaje Perine Could See More Work In Week 5

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine was expected to have a much bigger workload early on in his first season in Denver. He has carried the ball 18 times for 66 yards (3.67 yards per carry) and has 11 catches for 95 yards. Undrafted rookie Jaleel McLaughlin has so far outshined the 28-year-old. Perine could […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Phased Out Of Offense In Week 5 Loss

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had six carries for 10 yards along with four receptions for 33 yards in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. Despite being a popular name heading into this matchup, Robinson had very little involvement against the Bears due to the Commanders falling behind by so much so early. […]

Framber Valdez Starting Game 2 For Houston

Houston Astros left-handed pitcher Framber Valdez is set to start Game 2 of the Division Series against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. Valdez will follow Justin Verlander. The burly lefty posted strong numbers this season, with a 3.45 ERA and 1.13 WHIP to go along with 200 strikeouts in 198 IP. Valdez is coming off […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Could Have Elevated Role Against Jets

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin was a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after leading Denver's backfield in the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears because of Javonte Williams' (quadriceps) injury. McLaughlin saw a season-high seven carries for 72 yards (10.29 yards per tote) and added three receptions (three targets) for 32 […]

Russell Wilson Has Shy-Away Matchup In Week 5

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has so far looked rejuvenated in head coach Sean Payton's offense through four weeks. He's been a top-10 fantasy QB with a 67.4 completion percentage, 1,104 passing yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions. The offense hasn't been the issue in Denver, which is huge considering how badly they struggled under […]

Cole Kmet Scores Again In Bears Win

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet caught five passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Bears 40-20 win on Thursday night against the Commanders. Kmet backed up a fantastic Week 4 performance by finding the end zone for the third time in the last two games. Kmet has now racked up 12 receptions […]

Terry McLaurin Quiet In Week 5 Loss

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four-of-five targets for 49 yards in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. After a strong outing in Week 4, it was surprising to see little from the veteran receiver considering quarterback Sam Howell finished his day with 51 pass attempts. McLaurin drew a long pass interference penalty that […]

D.J. Moore Explodes For 230 Yards, Three Touchdowns

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore exploded for eight receptions, 230 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 40-20 win over the Commanders. Moore was unstoppable from the jump and showed exceptional will to gain huge chunks of extra yardage after the catch. With two dominant performances back-to-back, Moore has shot up the fantasy charts […]

Justin Fields' Huge First Half Paces First Bears Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 15 of 29 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns in the Bears' (1-4) first win of the season over the Commanders. Fields paced Chicago's 40-point effort with 27 first-half points. He was dynamite down the field, connecting with wide receiver D.J. Moore for explosive play after explosive play. […]

Curtis Samuel Catches Touchdown In Week 5

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught six-of-seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears. During a negative game script that lasted the entirety of the matchup, Samuel fell into being Washington's second-leading receiver. There isn't much that should be taken from this game, but it's clear that […]

Cole Holcomb Is A Quality Start in Tackle-Heavy IDP Leagues

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb has a favorable matchup against a run-heavy Baltimore Ravens team. The Ravens run the ball about 35 times a game, slightly less than the league-leading Philadelphia Eagles. Holcomb has excelled against the run, making 10 solo tackles and only missing 5.0% of his attempted tackles on run plays. Overall, he […]
