Ian Thomas - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas operated as the team's TE1 last week and will go on the road to face the New York Giants in Week 2. Thomas was only targeted three times in Week 1, but turned one of his two receptions into a 50-yard gain and was brought down just shy of […]

Victor Robles Back In Action Friday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (neck) is back in center field and is hitting eighth on Friday against the Miami Marlins and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. It will be the first time that Robles has been in the starting lineup since Sept. 7 due to neck stiffness. Before the injury, he had gone 3-for-10 with a […]

Aaron Civale To Return Tuesday

The plan is for Cleveland Guardians right-hander Aaron Civale (forearm) to return to the starting rotation and pitch against the Chicago White Sox next Tuesday, according to manager Terry Francona. Civale surrendered four earned runs and allowed two home runs in 2 2/3 innings in his minor league rehab start on Thursday, but the Guardians […]

Robbie Anderson A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Play In Week 2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robbie Anderson was surprisingly the best fantasy option on the team in Week 1 and will look to continue his hot start in an away matchup against the New York Giants. Anderson's performance last week can mostly be attributed to one big play, a 75-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield. […]

Justin Verlander Activated And Starting Friday

The Houston Astros activated starting pitcher Justin Verlander (calf) from the 15-day injured list on Friday and optioned Seth Martinez to the minors in a corresponding move. Verlander, who landed on the injured list on Aug. 30 with a calf injury, will make the start in a great matchup against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. […]

Rhys Hoskins On The Bench Against Braves

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (hand) is out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Atlanta Braves. Hoskins was hit on the hand by a pitch on Wednesday, although X-rays thankfully came back negative. He won't start the first game of the series against Atlanta, but there's a chance he'll start at some […]

Luis Robert Missing Another Game

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand, wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Robert continues to be a headache for fantasy managers due to lingering injuries. The 25-year-old will miss a second straight game, but he's had just 14 at-bats in the month of September due to his […]

DJ Moore - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore had a disappointing Week 1 and will look to get back on track on the road against the New York Giants in Week 2. There will surely be a handful of down weeks from Moore this season as the Panthers' offense led by Baker Mayfield is not expected to […]

Christian McCaffrey Should Bounce Back In Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey found the end zone in Week 1 but did not have the monstrous fantasy performance that we've come to expect from him when healthy. He has a great opportunity to get things going in Week 2 against the New York Giants, who allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing […]

Baker Mayfield - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield will look to improve on his lackluster Week 1 performance in a Week 2 away bout with the New York Giants. Emotions surely had an impact on Mayfield in his Panthers debut as he played his former team, the Cleveland Browns, but he wasn't bad for fantasy. Perhaps he will […]

Texans Defense Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Houston Texans defense faces a tough test in Week 2 as the team goes on the road to face the Denver Broncos. With Russell Wilson quarterbacking the Broncos and the Texans defense allowing 340 passing yards last week, there's not a lot of upside with this defense for fantasy purposes. There will be times […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was perfect from the field in Week 1, making both of his extra points and both of his field goal attempts. Despite that, Fairbairn ranks fairly low when talking about kickers for Week 2, mainly because this Texans offense isn't good enough to put Fairbairn in position to make many […]

O.J. Howard's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard caught a pair of touchdowns last week against the Colts, but he was also only targeted on those two plays the entire game. Heading into Week 2 against the Broncos, Howard is an enticing fantasy option, but the lack of usage outside of those touchdowns last week is worrisome. […]

Nico Collins' Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was targeted three times in Week 1, catching two passes for 26 yards. His lack of usage makes him a risky fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 2 meeting with the Denver Broncos. Brandin Cooks was the team's clear No. 1 receiver last week, while Collins and Chris Moore […]

Brandin Cooks' Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks appears to be the only consistent fantasy threat on the Texans roster heading into Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. Last week, Cooks was targeted 12 times, catching seven passes for 82 yards. No other wide receiver for the team saw more than three targets. Cooks is a volume-based […]

We have 48 FBS vs. FBS matchups on Saturday this week which makes this the biggest betting day of the season so far. We've got some great ones too, and I'm not just saying that because I'm an Oklahoma fan. I know some of you are disappointed that I don't pick FCS games, but the […]

Dameon Pierce's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce appears to be the team's No. 2 back heading into Week 2 and the team's meeting with the Denver Broncos. Pierce had 11 carries in Week 1, finishing with 33 yards. He was targeted once in the passing game, catching it for a six-yard gain. As long as […]

Rex Burkhead's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead appears to be the team's lead back heading into their Week 2 matchup with the Broncos. Burkhead had three more carries than Dameon Pierce last week, as well as seven more targets than the rookie. Burkhead could have some appeal in deep PPR leagues as a flex play, but […]

Trevor Story Not Starting Friday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Kansas City Royals. Story will miss his third straight game, but the Red Sox believe he's close to returning, so there's a good chance he'll be back in there on Saturday. He remains day-to-day for fantasy managers. […]

Davis Mills' Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has a tough matchup in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, making him a tough player to trust in fantasy football. Last week, Mills attempted 37 passes but ended up with just 240 yards in an overtime tie with the Colts. The Broncos allowed just 177 passing yards last week, […]

Alvin Kamara Not Spotted At Practice Friday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was not on the field for the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media. This doesn't necessarily mean he was a non-participant, but at the very least, he was significantly limited. For what it's worth, he was limited on Wednesday but did not practice […]

Velus Jones Jr. Doubtful For Week 2

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 2. He did not practice for the second consecutive week. With Jones sidelined, look for Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis to fill depth roles behind Darnell Mooney. St. Brown and Pettis combined for two catches, 69 yards, and two […]

Van Jefferson Ruled Out For Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) "is making great progress" but won't play against the Falcons in Week 2, head coach Sean McVay told Sarah Barshop of ESPN. This marks the second consecutive game in which Jefferson won't suit up. Cooper Kupp is the only must-start receiver in this offense. Allen Robinson and […]

Alec Mills Undergoes Back Surgery

Chicago Cubs right-hander Alec Mills (back) underwent a successful lower-back discectomy on Wednesday, according to the team. Mills has been out of action since early July and was moved to the 60-day injured late last month, so he obviously won't pitch again in 2022. The 30-year-old only appeared in seven games (two starts) for the […]

KJ Hamler Working On Side Field

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee, hip) was seen working on a side field Friday. Hamler, who returned from an ACL tear in Week 1 but did not catch a pass, has not practiced this week. He appears to be a longshot to play against the Texans in Week 2. If he is indeed […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Bristol Food City 300 (9/16/22)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Bristol on Friday night for the Food City 300. This is the final race before the playoffs begin. Can someone win his way into the postseason? Last week, Noah Gragson won at Kansas, earning his second win in a row. Gragson is already positioned to lead the points once […]

Mike Evans, Julio Jones Return To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (calf) and Julio Jones (knee) both returned to practice on Friday. The duo was absent from practice on Thursday, but their return to the field suggests both veteran receivers should play in Week 2 against the Saints. With Chris Godwin (hamstring) looking like a longshot to play, Evans […]

Allen Lazard Taking Team Reps Friday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle), who practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday and Thursday, is expected to progress through team reps during Friday's practice. This is another step in the right direction for Lazard after he did not play in Week 1. Assuming he suits up in Week 2, the 26-year-old […]
