Tigers In Talks With Javier Baez

The Detroit Tigers have been in discussions with free-agent shortstop Javier Baez, according to sources. The Tigers are currently focused on Baez after previously talking with both Carlos Correa and Marcus Semien. Baez could be a fallback option for the Tigers if Correa's price tag is too rich for their taste. But one thing is […]

Diamondbacks Acquire Jordan Luplow From The Rays

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired outfielder Jordan Luplow from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday in exchange for infielder Ronny Simon. In a corresponding move, the D-backs designated right-handed pitcher Brett De Geus for assignment. Luplow hits from the right side and has mostly been a platoon bat at outfield and first base in his five […]

Blake Jarwin Placed On COVID-19 List

The Dallas Cowboys placed tight end Blake Jarwin on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday after he tested positive for the virus. Jarwin is also currently on Injured Reserve after he suffered a serious hip injury in Week 8. However, the 27-year-old has already missed four games, so if is asymptomatic and returns two negative tests, […]

Mack Hollins - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mack Hollins is coming off his best performance of the season. Last week, he hauled in two receptions for 72 yards and one touchdown in the win. That is not exactly an outstanding performance, but Hollins hasn't been involved much this season. There is a good chance he is quiet again […]

Kareem Hunt Officially Activated From IR

The Cleveland Browns officially activated running back Kareem Hunt (calf) and offensive tackle Jack Conklin (elbow) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, and both players are on track to play on Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12. It's great news for a Browns offense that has been slowed of late due to all […]

Albert Wilson - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson has seen an increased workload over the last few weeks. Sadly, the increase in targets hasn't exactly resulted in better results. In fact, Wilson has only surpassed 20 receiving yards in a single game once this season. That is unlikely going to change against the Carolina Panthers in Week […]

Mike Gesicki - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has seen at least six targets in all but two games this season. The Dolphins continue to work the 26-year-old heavily into their weekly game plan. Sadly, Gesicki could have some trouble making noise against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. He'll get to play against the second-ranked pass […]

Jaylen Waddle - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has seen eight or more targets in five of his last six games. The Dolphins continue to work the rookie into their gameplan with DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Will Fuller (finger) still sidelined. Sadly, the Dolphins could have trouble getting Waddle the ball in Week 12. He'll head into […]

Myles Gaskin - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has been held to 60 rushing yards or less in every game but three this season. However, Gaskin is coming off a season-high 89 yards in Week 11. He also saw a season-high 23 carries in that performance. Now he'll head into a fairly favorable matchup against the Carolina […]

We have another eight games for our Saturday prime time college football slate on DraftKings. There are some big ones on here as we finish off rivalry week. Most of the hubbub is dying down, but we've got a few big ones on here. We start on the Bayou with A&M heading into Red Stick. […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (11/27/21 Late Night)

I hope you all have enjoyed staying up late with the late slates on DraftKings. These have proven to be the most lucrative for me, and hopefully for all of you, so far this year. It's only two games on our final late night slate of the season, so we have to get creative again. […]

Tua Tagovailoa - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been an inconsistent fantasy option all season long. However, it's worth noting Tagovailoa has three multiple touchdown games in three of his last five games. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that he is going to succeed against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. A defense that ranks second in pass DVOA […]

Brandin Cooks - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks comes into his Week 12 matchup versus the Jets with a 43.2% target share, which is near the top of the league. Yet he is only seeing 8.7 targets per game. Cooks has six games where he has seven or fewer targets and only two touchdowns. However, he also […]

Tyrod Taylor - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor showed what he was capable of last week and now he gets his softest matchup of the year in a Week 12 meeting against the New York Jets. Taylor has been limited to just three healthy games all season, where he produced pass attempts of 24, 33 and 43. However, […]

David Johnson - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Running back David Johnson is expected to be the passing-down back for the Houston Texans in their matchup versus the Jets in Week 12. Johnson is receiving a 16.9% target share but he has only averaged 4.6 rushing attempts per game. The Texans should keep this game close, and Rex Burkhead is expected to dominate […]

Texans Defense Is A Streamer Candidate In Week 12

The Houston Texans defense doesn't exactly inspire a ton of faith. They have allowed the fourth-most points in the NFL and are in the middle of the pack in sacks. However, they face Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson and an inept offense this week. Wilson has played in six games this season and has managed […]

Rex Burkhead - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Running back Rex Burkhead should remain the lead back on early downs this week for the Houston Texans against the Jets in Week 12. The departure of running back Phillip Lindsay further cemented Burkhead's role. While David Johnson should get the passing-down work, it will be Burkhead who should see the majority of the rushing […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 12

The wide receiver matchup article from Week 11 had some hits and misses.

Chris Godwin - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has caught 29 catches for 373 and three touchdowns over four games with WR Antonio Brown (ankle) sidelined. He will look to continue his impressive run against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. The Colts have given up the fourth-most points to opposing wideouts but rank fifth in […]

Leonard Fournette - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette faces an Indianapolis Colts defense that ranks 20th in rush DVOA. He will look to turn things around after failing to find the end zone and rushing for under 50 yards in three straight games. The 26-year-old has been involved in the passing game, catching 17 passes for […]

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options.

Tom Brady - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has been terrific and will continue to have his incredible run this season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12.

The 33-year-old slashed a career-high .310/.383/.458 with 12 home runs, 55 RBI, 89 runs scored, and 47 stolen […]

Elvis Merzlikins Puts On Another Show On Friday

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins continued his great start to the season on Friday with a 39-save effort in a 4-2 win over Vancouver. Columbus got outshot 41-21 in the game, which meant a busy night for Merzlikins, but he was in fabulous form. The Blue Jackets No. 1 improved to 9-3-0 for the […]

Yanni Gourde Has A Return To Forget In Tampa

Seattle Kraken forward Yanni Gourde couldn't get anything going in Friday's special matchup against the Lightning, finishing a 3-0 loss with no shots and a minus-two rating in 17 minutes of action. He produced two hits against his former team but that was pretty much it. Gourde had posted points in back-to-back games prior to […]
