Jamal Adams, Kenny McIntosh Ruled Out For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh (knee, hamstring) and safety Jamal Adams (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams. Neither player practiced at all this week, so this news comes as no surprise. McIntosh is merely a depth piece and, even if active, would have operated behind Kenneth Walker […]

Zach Charbonnet Third On Seahawks Depth Chart

Second-round draft pick Zach Charbonnet will make his regular-season debut when the Seattle Seahawks take on the Los Angeles Rams on September 10. The UCLA standout was drafted by the Seahawks on the heels of Kenneth Walker III's 1000-yard rookie season, putting Seattle's depth chart under scrutiny throughout the preseason. Walker was a limited participant […]

DK Metcalf Looking For Big Game Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf set career highs in targets (141) and catches (90) last season. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's arrival will cut into the number of targets Metcalf sees, but the rookie will also draw some defensive attention away from the fifth-year veteran. Metcalf has an inviting Week 1 matchup against a Los Angeles Rams […]

Geno Smith Ready To Build On Success Of 2022

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith enjoyed a career year in 2022, earning him Comeback Player of the Year honors and a three-year, $75 million contract. He will begin his tenth NFL season against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10. In 2022, Smith had two very different experiences against his division rival. In Week 12, […]

Nick Pratto Returns From Injured List Following Setback

Kansas City Royals first baseman Nick Pratto (groin, hip) was activated from the 15-day injured list on Friday. He had been out since July 27 with a left groin strain and left hip impingement. He delivered solid offensive production when healthy, slashing .238/.324/.375 with seven homers, 31 RBI, a 9.7 BB%, and a 37.5 K%. […]

Greg Joseph A Solid Option In Season Opener

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph looks like a solid streaming option in Week 1 as the Vikings take on the Buccaneers at home. Joseph converted 26-of-33 field goals last year, but he wasn't all that reliable kicking from deep, as he converted just 4-of-10 from 50+ yards. However, fantasy managers can treat him as a […]

Jauan Jennings Not A Recommended Option In Week 1

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings comes into Week 1 at the Pittsburgh Steelers as the team's third option at wide receiver. While many NFL offenses have fantasy-viable players at WR3, San Francisco hasn't proven to be one of them. Target hogs Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk combined with the […]

Vikings D/ST A Risky Start In Week 1

The Minnesota Vikings D/ST looks like a risky unit to insert into fantasy lineups this weekend, as they are just a season removed from allowing the second-most passing yards. Baker Mayfield isn't exactly a scary matchup for a defense, however a solid weapon group of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rachaad White is enough reason […]

J.D. Martinez Returns From Stint On 10-Day IL

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list following a successful rehab assignment. In a corresponding move, infielder Michael Busch was optioned to Triple-A. The 36-year-old Martinez is enjoying a strong season in which he has 25 homers, a .370 xwOBA, a .551 xSLG, and a 54.7 […]

T.J. Hockenson An Elite TE1 Option Versus Buccaneers

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to build on his strong finish to the 2022 season after being acquired by the Vikings midseason from the Detroit Lions. In 10 games after being traded, the 26-year-old posted 60 receptions on 86 targets for 519 yards and three touchdowns. Hockenson has cemented himself as an […]

Trea Turner Returns From Paternity List

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was activated from the paternity list on Friday afternoon. He's back in the starting lineup, batting second against Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez. While Turner's .263/.313/.452 slash line hasn't quite lived up to the offseason hype, he remains a dominant baserunner and has started to turn a corner offensively. All […]

Bo Bichette Activated From Injured List Friday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (right quad) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon. The 25-year-old had been out since Aug. 27. He's slashing .314/.344/.488 with 18 homers this season, meaning his activation is great news for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers like. He should return to the starting lineup […]

Mookie Betts Expected To Miss Weekend Series

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) remains sore and is expected to miss the upcoming weekend series versus the Washington Nationals. Betts was spotted on crutches Thursday after fouling a ball off his left foot, and while X-rays came back negative, he'll need a couple of games off. Manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism that […]

Jordan Addison A Risky Play In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to make an impression in Week 1, as the 23rd-overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft makes his NFL debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Addison will join one of the league's better, and more importantly, pass-happy offenses, but there will be no shortage of competition for […]

Byron Buxton Meeting With Team To Discuss Rehab

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (right knee) is scheduled to meet with the front office and medical staff on Friday, per Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Buxton has been on the injured list since Aug. 1 and recently had his rehab assignment paused due to an injury setback. The 29-year-old is a key contributor […]

Justin Jefferson A Top Fantasy Option In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to pick up right where he left off in his Offensive Player of The Year campaign a season ago, as the Vikings take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. The fourth-year receiver out of LSU led the league in receptions and receiving yards last year, putting […]

Jake Moody Off Injury Report, Will Make NFL Debut Sunday

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (quad) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After being limited in practice this week, the rookie is on track to make his NFL debut. He's a fringe top-12 option in fantasy football but is worth rostering if you're looking for an […]

George Kittle Questionable To Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was limited in practice all week long and could be a true game-time decision. The 29-year-old is dominant when healthy, but that qualifier is key. Kittle has missed 18 games over the last three […]

Alexander Mattison A Solid RB2 Option In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to start his first season as the Vikings' lead-back on the right foot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. The Buccaneers have had a stingy run defense in seasons past, however, they were a middling run-stopping unit in 2022 giving up the 15th most rushing […]

Treylon Burks Removed From Injury Report, Will Play Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 1. This comes as no surprise after Burks practiced in full all week long. He'll start opposite DeAndre Hopkins, making them both WR3/FLEX options in fantasy football. Tennessee is taking on the Saints, who have a […]

Zack Moss Officially Questionable For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (arm) is listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week long. At this point, Moss' status is up in the air, and he could be a true game-time decision. If Moss does play, he's expected to operate in a committee […]

Should I Start The Ravens DST In Week 1? Fantasy Football Defenses

The DST position is one of the trickier positions to figure out in fantasy football, because there's always a lot of uncertainty and randomness with team defense. It's hard to predict turnovers, for example, which play a major role in DST scoring. This week, the Baltimore Ravens DST is a popular fantasy option as they […]

Kendre Miller Does Not Practice Friday, Questionable For Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans despite not practicing at all this week. It's a bit surprising to see the Saints are leaving the door open for Miller, a rookie, to play after failing to practice for three consecutive days, but perhaps […]

Kirk Cousins A Low-End QB1 In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to get the 2023 campaign started on a positive note in Week 1 against the Tom Brady-less Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon. Cousins is coming off a season where he threw for 4,529 yards and 29 touchdowns, leading the Vikings to the top of the NFC North. […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/08/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Hey RotoBallers, I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend full of sports, friends, and food! Today's slate is small for a Friday, "just" 11 games! At first glance, bats with great matchups are Washington, Toronto, New York Mets, San Francisco, and the New York Yankees. Philadelphia, Kansas City, Atlanta, Boston, Minnesota, and Houston […]

Marquise Brown, Zach Ertz Questionable For Week 1

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (hamstring) and tight end Zach Ertz (knee) are listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders. The two playmakers both practiced in a limited capacity all week long, offering very little insight into whether they'll be available for Sunday's game. Between the uncertainty of their statuses and […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable To Play Week 1

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh), who is listed at the "joker" position on the team's official depth chart, is officially questionable for Week 1. The fact that he has been a limited participant in practice all week long offers very little insight into whether he may or may not play. With that said, […]

Darren Waller Questionable For Giants Debut

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Dallas Cowboys. He popped up on the injury report Friday after practicing in a limited capacity. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his status heading into Sunday's games, but the Giants' 8:20 p.m. ET […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Doubtful For Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys after being limited in practice all week long. Injuries held Robinson to just six games as a rookie last year, and although he caught 23 passes for 227 yards, he should be avoided in fantasy football until he […]
