Tony Jones Jr. Fighting For Backup Running Back Spot

New Orlean Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. had 19 yards on four carries and turned three targets into three catches for 20 yards in Friday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old looked to have some explosiveness out of the backfield, rushing and receiving the ball. His 20-yard screen pass was his extended play […]

Taysom Hill Gets First Preseason Work In Loss To Packers

New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) finished with one catch for 10 yards on two targets in Friday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers. He had missed time in training camp due to injured ribs. It was Hill's first preseason action, and most people wondered if he would take any snaps under […]

Dontrell Hilliard Impressing In Camp

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard has been a standout during camp, according to John Glennon. Last season, Hilliard saw a spike in fantasy value after Derrick Henry landed on the sideline. It sounds like Hilliard is the favorite for the third-down duties in Tennessee. Obviously, Henry is going to get the bulk of the […]

Donald Parham Jr. Is Progressing

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) is progressing, but remains week-to-week, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The organization is hopeful that Parham can begin doing more work as early as next week. Sadly, it's going to be difficult for Parham to make up for lost time. There is potential here, so […]

Forrest Lamp Placed On Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Forrest Lamp (undisclosed) has been placed on the injured reserve. The organization has not released details on the injury, but it sounds like Lamp's season is over before it begins. The former second round pick played one game with the team last year, but missed most of the season due […]

Chris Olave Flashes, Scores Touchdown Against Green Bay

New Orleans wide rookie wide receiver Chris Olave caught two of the three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in a 20-10 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Must-Have Fantasy Football Players To Draft - Ellis' Essential NFL Picks for 2022

It’s flag-planting season! Just like last year, I’m coming at you with my essential fantasy football players to draft in 2022. Last season was definitely a mixed bag with standouts like Ja’Marr Chase and the Rams passing attack, but also hot takes on Calvin Ridley and Lamar Jackson. Whoops. This season, I’m hoping to be […]

D'Onta Foreman Unproductive In Preseason Start

D'Onta Foreman started at running back for the Carolina Panthers and garnered 16 yards on seven carries in their 20-10 loss to the New England Patriots. He split snaps with Chuba Hubbard for Carolina's first four drives, but neither managed to impress. Foreman was the most productive back in Tennessee last season when Derrick Henry […]

Dameon Pierce, Brandin Cooks Don't Play Against Rams

Two key Houston Texans didn't see the field in Friday's preseason win over the Rams. Running back Dameon Pierce, a rookie who impressed in the team's first preseason game, and wide receiver Brandin Cooks both didn't see the field. This is likely a good thing, as Cooks is locked in as the No. 1 receiver […]

Chuba Hubbard Sees Seven Touches In Preseason Week 2

Carolina Panthers second-year running back Chuba Hubbard handled six carries for 22 yards and one reception for a four-yard-loss in Friday's preseason matchup against the New England Patriots. D'Onta Foreman started in the backfield this week, but the two rotated throughout Carolina's first four drives and were both mostly ineffective. Hubbard disappointed fantasy managers when […]

Nico Collins Catches Touchdown On Friday

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had the highlight play of Friday's preseason win over the Rams, catching a contested 18-yard touchdown on the final play of the first half. Overall, Collins caught four passes for 48 yards and was targeted on six of Davis Mills' 17 throws. Collins has locked up the No. 2 […]

Rex Burkhead Sees Three Targets On Friday

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead was targeted three times in Friday's preseason contest with the Rams. He caught all three passes for nine yards and also added two carries for five yards. Burkhead doesn't have much fantasy value this season, but he could be worth a stash in a deep, full-PPR league if he […]

Davis Mills Struggles For Most Of First Half

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills threw a touchdown on the final play of the first half of Friday's preseason win over the Rams, throwing a contest 18-yarder to Nico Collins. But even with that score, it was a slow night for Mills, who played the entire first half and finished 10-for-17 for 96 yards. He […]

Matt Corral Plays Three Drives Before Suffering Foot Injury

Matt Corral (foot) completed nine of 15 passes for 58 yards and added six yards rushing before his early exit from Carolina's preseason loss to the Patriots. PJ Walker got the start and alternated quarters with Corral, who left in the fourth after sustaining a foot injury. With both Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold resting, […]

Is Rhamondre Stevenson Losing His Fantasy Football Sleeper Label?

“Sleeper” is a bit of a subjective term in fantasy football. Everyone has their idea of who is going at a value but once enough people join in on the parade, the “sleeper” distinction may begin to dissipate. A player may be considered a sleeper by the fantasy community, but when he’s drafted two rounds […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/20/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Jakobi Meyers Targeted Three Times In Win Against Carolina

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught one of three targets for four yards in Friday's 20-10 win over the Carolina Panthers.

DeVante Parker Held To One Catch In Friday's Win

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker caught one of two targets or 17 yards in Friday's 20-10 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. He was limited to one catch but was on the field for the team's first two drives. The 29-year-old logged 11 snaps and had seven routes run in Friday's contest. He […]

Ty Montgomery Finds The End Zone Against Carolina

New England Patriots running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery rushed for 13 yards on four attempts and a touchdown while catching his only target for five yards in Friday's 20-10 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers.
