Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (oblique) returned to practice on Friday, according to beat writer Adam Grosbard.

This is an encouraging sign for Nacua, who was held out of […]

Steelers D/ST Worth Starting In Week 3

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense was incredible for fantasy purposes in Week 2 and will get another solid matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. It's still early in the season, but the Raiders are currently scoring the third-fewest points per game in the NFL. Additionally, Las Vegas is averaging two giveaways per contest. […]

Sabres Aiming To Lock Up Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power Long-Term

The Buffalo Sabres are looking to lock up young defensemen Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power to long-term contract extensions. Both blueliners were taken with the No. 1 overall pick in their respective drafts with Dahlin drafted in 2018 and Power in 2021. The 23-year-old Dahlin will look to break the bank on the heels of […]

Chris Boswell Not A Reliable Fantasy Option In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell had a solid performance in Week 2 and will look to stay perfect on the season in a Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite his consistency as an NFL kicker, there is little upside to starting Boswell in fantasy lineups. The Steelers are averaging just 16.5 points […]

Is Anthony Richardson Playing In Week 3? Should I Pickup And Start Gardner Minshew? Fantasy Football Outlook

He also had 161 rushing attempts for 1,116 yards and 12 touchdowns in college. Thankfully, the Colts […]

Joe Burrow Limited In Friday's Practice

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

Connor Hellebuyck Focused On The Jets In 2023-24

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is focused on winning for the Winnipeg Jets in the 2023-24 season rather than looking ahead to his pending unrestricted free agency.

Pat Freiermuth Should Bounce Back Against Raiders

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth was shut down in Week 2 but will have a great opportunity to get back on track in a Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Last week, Pittsburgh faced the Cleveland Browns, who were stout against fantasy tight ends in 2022. The Raiders, on the other hand, […]

DK Metcalf Questionable For Week 3

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) is listed as questionable to face the visiting Carolina Panthers in Week 3 on Sunday. Metcalf missed practice time this week, as expected, after taking a hard shot to the ribs in the Week 2 overtime win over the Detroit Lions. Despite the injury, he managed to haul […]

Allen Robinson II Not On Fantasy Radar In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Allen Robinson II led the team's receivers in snaps last week but finished with just two receptions for 12 yards. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Robinson should continue to play a healthy amount of snaps until Diontae Johnson (hamstring) returns, but […]

Trevor Zegras, Jamie Drysdale Absent On First Day Of Camp

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras and defenseman Jamie Drysdale were both not in attendance for the club's opening day of training camp on Thursday.

Jaylen Waddle Questionable With Concussion

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) was able to put in a limited practice on Friday but is still questionable to play in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos after he picked up a concussion in the Week 2 win over the New England Patriots. Waddle remains in the league's concussion protocol and still […]

George Pickens A Strong Option In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens scored as a top-12 fantasy wideout in Week 2 and will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 3 bout with the Las Vegas Raiders. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, Pickens should continue to be the favorite target of quarterback Kenny Pickett. Pickens will have […]

Andrew Cogliano Hoping To Be Cleared For Season Opener

Colorado Avalanche forward Andrew Cogliano (neck) is hoping to be cleared to participate in his team's season opener on Oct. 11 versus the Los Angeles Kings.

San Jose Sharks winger Alexander Barabanov would like to stay in San Jose but does not want to think about his next contract. The 29-year-old began his NHL career with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2020-21 season but was moved to the Sharks where his career took off. Barabanov notched seven points in nine […]

Jaylen Warren A PPR Flex Option In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren totaled 86 yards in Week 2 and will look to stay productive against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. Although Warren does not see many touches as a ball carrier, the 24-year-old has been highly involved as a receiver with the second-most targets on the team. Pittsburgh's matchup […]

Austin Ekeler Ruled Out Again

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) missed a second straight week of practice and has been ruled out for the second straight game in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Greg Joseph A Streaming Option In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph has the look of a solid streaming option in Week 3 as the Vikings take on the Chargers. He has only attempted one field goal this season, where he connected on a 25-yard kick, but a potential high-scoring matchup this Sunday should give him an opportunity to put points on […]

Jahan Dotson Looking To Rebound Against Buffalo

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson has gotten off to a slow start this season. After a couple of tough weeks, it's safe to say that the former first-rounder is aiming for a bounce-back. Unfortunately, that goal may be hard to attain this week against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo is looking like a stingy pass […]

Vikings D/ST Not A Reliable Option Versus Chargers

The Minnesota Vikings D/ST will have their hands full in Week 3 as they take on the Justin Herbert-led Chargers' offense. With Austin Ekeler (ankle) ruled out, their job does get a little easier, however, they allowed D'Andre Swift to run them over for 175 yards in Week 2. A weak run defense, along with […]

Sam Howell Taking On Challenging Matchup In Week 3

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell is facing possibly his toughest challenge so far against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been strong against the pass while allowing the sixth-lowest passing yards per game this season. Coming off of a strong performance against the Denver Broncos, the second-year quarterback might have his hands full. Additionally, the […]

Najee Harris Could Surprise In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has just 74 rushing yards through the first two weeks of the season and will hope to turn things around in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have given up the third-most fantasy points to running backs so far this season, allowing 183 rushing yards and […]

Mattias Ekholm Roughly A Week Away From Skating

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm (hip) is roughly a week away from skating, as per head coach Jay Woodcroft. Ekholm has been held out of training camp to this point due to the hip flexor ailment but the injury doesn't sound remotely close to threatening his status for opening night on Oct. 11 against the […]

T.J. Hockenson An Elite Option Versus Chargers

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to build off his two-touchdown performance against the Eagles in Week 2, as the Vikings take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

John Bates A Low-End Streaming Option In Week 3

Washington Commanders tight end John Bates could be in consideration as a streamer in Week 3. In their matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 3, the Commanders will be without their starting tight end Logan Thomas (concussion) due to injury. That should open up the door for Bates to take advantage. With Thomas missing […]

Kenny Pickett Hopes To Find Success Against Raiders

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett has struggled early in the 2023 campaign but will look to capitalize on a soft matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. The Raiders have surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks so far this season after allowing the sixth-most in 2022. Although Pickett will once again […]

Jordan Addison An Intriguing Week 3 Fantasy Option

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to keep his strong start to his rookie season going as the Vikings take on the Chargers in Week 3.
