Josh Downs A Risky Choice For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has done enough to earn himself a starting spot ahead of the Week1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie wideout has looked good in camp and will open the season as the starting slot receiver. The Colts have high hopes for Downs after selecting him in the third-round […]

Michael Pittman Jr. A Low-End WR2 For Opener

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is the unquestioned No. 1 option for this team heading into the season opener. Pittman has 270 targets over the last two seasons, so there's no question he'll get the ball thrown his way. It's more about the quality of the pass than the quantity here. Rookie quarterback […]

Jamison Crowder Elevated To Active Roster

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been elevated to the active roster on Saturday. The veteran wideout signed with the Commanders practice squad earlier this week. He last played with the Buffalo Bills in 2022, but only played four games with the team. Despite that, Crowder has a solid track record and is worth […]

Myles Gaskin Returns To Vikings

As expected, running back Myles Gaskin will rejoin the Minnesota Vikings after being released by the team on Friday. It was expected all along that the Vikings would bring back Gaskin as they released him originally for salary reasons. The 26-year-old will return to the team and be elevated to the active roster ahead of […]

Should I Pickup and Start Luke Musgrave for Week 1? Fantasy Football Outlook

The tight end position is a bit of a mystery in Week 1. Injuries to various players have created a lot of uncertainty. And the Green Bay Packers pass-catchers are a mystery as well, as injuries have decimated an already thin receiving room. Could that mean Packers tight end Luke Musgrave is worth playing in […]

Deon Jackson Ready To Handle The Backfield Duties On Sunday

Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson will presumably enter Week 1 against the Jaguars as the top option out of the backfield. Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is on injured reserve, and with Zach Moss (forearm) doubtful, Jackson is expected to see an enhanced role for the Colts. The 24-year-old had the largest workload of his career […]

Is Daniel Suarez A Contrarian Play At Kansas?

Daniel Suarez will start 15th in Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400. Even though he is not a playoff driver, the Trackhouse Racing driver remains a viable DFS play for this race, especially at his $7,500 salary on DraftKings. Now, Kansas is not one of the stronger tracks for the 31-year-old driver. Suarez has managed to finish […]

Brenton Doyle Resting On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, so his absence is likely for rest purposes. Doyle has struggled this season, but has actually been hitting better lately. He is 5-for-20 with four RBI […]

Anthony Richardson Set For Official Debut

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will debut in Week 1 against the Jaguars. Although the signal-caller doesn't have any professional experience, which isn't an ideal fantasy situation, he is coming off a quality year with the Florida Gators, finishing his final collegiate season with 2,549 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and nine picks. He also had […]

Harrison Burton Will Start 29th At Kansas

On Saturday afternoon, Harrison Burton qualified 29th for the Hollywood Casino 400. To put it mildly, 2023 has been a real struggle for the 22-year-old as he has more DNFs (3) than he does top tens (2). To make matters worse, in his three Cup starts at Kansas, the second-generation racer has an average finish […]

Mickey Moniak To Miss Third Straight Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This is the third straight game that Moniak has missed due to back tightness. For now, Moniak is considered as day-to-day, so hopefully he'll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. In […]

Justin Jefferson, Vikings Don't Reach Contract Agreement

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, wide receiver Justin Jefferson and the Vikings couldn't agree on a new contract ahead of the opener against the Bucs on Sunday. The wideout has been as potent as it gets for fantasy managers over the years, totaling 324 catches for 4,825 yards and 25 touchdowns in 50 regular-season games […]

Shohei Ohtani Continues To Sit Out

Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow, oblique) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This marks the sixth game in a row that Ohtani has missed due to inflammation in his right oblique. The right-hander is also dealing with a UCL tear in his elbow that will […]

Michael McDowell Will Start Seventh At Kansas

Michael McDowell qualified seventh for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. While he has had a solid 2023 season, he is currently sitting at 16th in the standings and is likely to be among the first four out when the second round begins in two weeks. Despite showing tremendous speed during Saturday's qualifying, his […]

Brendan Rodgers Sitting Out On Saturday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers is out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers missed some action recently due to an illness, but this absence appears to be rest related. The 27-year-old will get a breather after going 5-for-20 over his last five games. Harold Castro will cover second base and bat […]

Justin Haley Is A Value Play At Kansas

Justin Haley is set to start 30th in Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400. Though he hasn't performed well at Kansas in the past, Haley is a great option for DFS this weekend. Throughout 2023 he has been a consistent play on DraftKings, even appearing in the optimal lineup six times this season. Another interesting fact about […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Phillip Dorsett Elevated To Active Roster

The Broncos elevated wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the Raiders. The wideout signed with Denver early in the offseason after appearing in 24 games for the Saints and Patriots since 2019. He wasn't very productive while suiting up for those teams, […]

Luis Rengifo Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (biceps) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 26-year-old will see his season come to an end due to a ruptured biceps tendon. This is bad timing considering Rengifo was red-hot at the plate. He was slashing .443/.471/.770 with five home runs over his last […]

Isaac Paredes Pulled From Saturday's Game

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes (hand) has been removed early from Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 24-year-old was taken out of the contest after getting hit in the hand by a pitch in the fifth inning. Paredes has experienced some tough luck this season as he has been hit a league-leading 20 […]

Tre'Quan Smith Lands On Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (groin) landed on the injured reserve list on Saturday. He will miss at least the first four games of the 2023-24 campaign. The wideout underwent surgery on his groin back in August, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy managers. That said, Smith has been a […]

Breece Hall Questionable, Expected To Play Monday Night

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) practiced in full on Saturday and is anticipated to play in the AFC East showdown with the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. The 22-year-old remains listed as questionable. However, after logging limited practice sessions recently, it appears he should be good to go. Hall had a remarkable […]

Austin Meadows Shut Down For The Season

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows will be shut down for the rest of the 2023 season, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The 28-year-old has been away from the team since early April due to mental health reasons. He continues to undergo treatment for his anxiety near his home in Florida. The Tigers aren't in the […]

Adam Thielen Anticipated To Play In Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against the Falcons. The veteran practiced in a limited fashion on Friday after sitting out Thursday's session. However, it appears Thielen will debut for his new team in Week 1. With DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) out, the Panthers will need Thielen on […]

Nick Bosa Activated, Will Play Sunday

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa was activated ahead of Sunday's opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers and will play. The All-Pro, who recently signed a record-breaking five-year, $170 million deal, has been back with the team for only a few days. However, the latest news is certainly positive, as […]

Ketel Marte Removed Early On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (knee) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 29-year-old fouled a ball off his knee during the opening frame. He remained in the contest, but was ultimately lifted in the seventh inning due to an apparent knee issue. The expectation is that Marte will undergo […]

Tyler O'Neill To The Bench On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It doesn't appear that O'Neill is dealing with an injury, so this is probably just a routine rest day. O'Neill is 8-for-21 at the plate with two home runs and five RBI since the beginning of […]

Mike Evans, Bucs Unable To Agree On Extension

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, wide receiver Mike Evans and the Bucs were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension. The wideout imposed a deadline for both sides to come to terms on a new deal. However, it didn't happen, so this could mark his final year in Tampa Bay. Evans is […]

Javier Baez To Sit Out On Saturday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the Chicago White Sox. The 30-year-old has seen quite a lot of the bench lately, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Baez is slashing .221/.267/.319 with eight home runs and 54 RBI in 123 games this season. The Tigers aren't in […]

Evan Carter Heads To The Bench

Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 21-year-old top prospect made his MLB debut during Friday's game. Carter went 1-for-3 with a stolen base during his first big league contest. The assumption is that he'll play regularly, so it's a bit odd to […]

Ilya Mikheyev Doubtful For Preseason

Vancouver Canucks right wing Ilya Mikheyev (knee) might not be ready to feature in preseason games, CHEK TV's Rick Dhaliwal has reported. The Russian forward is still trying to recover from an ACL injury that cut his 2022-23 campaign short. However, it is believed that he could be an option for opening night. Mikheyev had […]
