Cordarrelle Patterson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson will face a stout run defense against the Saints in Week 9. Patterson racked up three straight 100-scrimmage yard games but has slowed recently, though he managed to score touchdowns in each of the last two weeks, salvaging his fantasy value. New Orleans' run defense, which has allowed the […]

Matt Ryan - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan draws a tough matchup in Week 9 against the Saints. Ryan was rolling heading into last week but ran into a wall against Carolina, who held him to 146 yards and one touchdown while intercepting him twice along with three sacks. The veteran signal-caller is talented enough to succeed in […]

David Montgomery Will Practice Thursday

Updating a previous report, Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (knee) will return from the Injured Reserve window and practice on Thursday. Montgomery was placed on IR with an MCL sprain in Week 5, and the Bears now have 21 days to activate him to the active roster. With Chicago's bye coming in Week 10, […]

Cowboys Offense Could Rebound After A Rough Week

The Dallas Cowboys defense struggled for the first time this season in Week 8, but could rebound nicely in a Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. Week 8 saw the Cowboys allow just 16 points but do almost nothing else positive on the defensive side of the ball. They entered the game with at […]

Greg Zuerlein - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is worthy of a starting spot in all formats in a Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. Zuerlein has been a K1 for three weeks in a row and for five of the seven games the Cowboys have played. In a position as unpredictable as placekicker, that's consistent enough […]

Dalton Schultz - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz should bounce back from a down Week 8 in a Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. In Week 8, with Cooper Rush under center, Schultz caught just two passes for 11 yards. Before that though, he'd been a fantasy TE1 for four weeks in a row. With Dak […]

DeMarcus Lawrence Progressing In His Rehab

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) has made progress to on-field rehab work with the athletic training staff, and head coach Mike McCarthy said "he looks real good." Lawrence remains on Injured Reserve and hasn't returned to practice with the team, but this is a positive development as he looks to get back on […]

Ian Desmond Becomes A Free Agent

The Colorado Rockies are declining a $15 million option on outfielder Ian Desmond for the 2022 season and will instead buy him out for $2 million. Desmond opted out of the last two seasons due to concerns over COVID-19. Desmond ended up being a big bust for Colorado after signing a five-year, $70 million deal […]

Cleveland Picks Up Jose Ramirez's 2022 Option

Third baseman Jose Ramirez will have his $12 million option for the 2022 season picked up by Cleveland. Ramirez continues to get better at baseball, and he finished the 2021 season with an outstanding .893 OPS with 36 home runs and 27 stolen bases in 152 games for Cleveland. The 29-year-old just finished the final […]

Nick Castellanos Opts Out Of Contract, Becomes Free Agent

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos opted out of his contract, as expected, and will become a free agent after slashing .309/.362/.576 with a career-high 34 home runs, 38 doubles and 100 RBI in 2021 to become a first-time All-Star. He had $34 million and two years left on his deal with Cincinnati. The 29-year-old had […]

Tyron Smith Not Expected To Play Against Broncos

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) is not expected to play in the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. However, McCarthy also said, "I'm not looking at this as a long-term injury at all." Smith aggravated his ankle in the Sunday night win over the Minnesota Vikings […]

DeAndre Hopkins Missing Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) was not spotted at the period of practice open to the media again on Thursday. It will go down as a second straight missed practice for Hopkins if he doesn't get on the field for team drills. Nuk was questionable heading into last Thursday's game against the Green […]

Blake Jarwin Unlikely To Play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday and is unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. A Jarwin absence would be good news for Dalton Schultz, who should be considered a midrange TE1 this weekend with quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) returning against a […]

Jack Eichel Heads To Vegas

The Vegas Golden Knights acquired center Jack Eichel on Thursday from the Buffalo Sabres, giving up forwards Peyton Krebs, Alex Tuch, a future first-round draft pick and a future second-rounder. Eichel's status in Buffalo had been in limbo due to disagreements with the club on how to treat a herniated disk and he hasn't yet […]

Tyrod Taylor Named The Starter For Week 9

The Houston Texans have named quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) as their starter for the Week 9 game against the Miami Dolphins. Taylor won his only start of the season back in Week 1 over the Jacksonville Jaguars and was leading the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 before he suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain and […]

David Montgomery On Track To Practice This Week

It sounds as though Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (knee) is on track to resume practicing this week, according to sources. Montgomery remains on Injured Reserve, however, and the Bears have yet to open up his 21-day practice window, so the expectation is that he won't return until after the team's Week 10 bye. […]

Tyrese Haliburton Fills Up The Entire Box Score

In Wednesday's 112-99 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton made his presence felt all over the stat sheet. In a season-high 37 minutes, the 2020 first-round pick recorded another season-high with 20 points on 6-for-11 shooting with seven assists, four rebounds, four steals, two blocks, and one three-pointer. Encouragingly, Haliburton […]

Cedrick Wilson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson had a huge Week 8 fantasy performance thanks to a long touchdown grab. He was expected to move back into his fourth wide receiver role with Michael Gallup (calf) coming back, but with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) now suffering an injury of his own in practice, Wilson could remain on […]

Amari Cooper - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper finally broke out of a slump in Week 8, catching eight passes for 122 yards and a touchdown even with Cooper Rush in at quarterback. With Dak Prescott (calf) expected back but CeeDee Lamb (ankle) questionable, Cooper could see the lion's share of work in the passing game in […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/4/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Thursdays usually mean a pared-down slate, and this week is no different. We have a modest five games on the docket, making it even more prudent than usual that we invest our salary-cap dollars wisely. A couple of the absolute best defensive teams in the league in the Jazz and Heat are in action as […]

Kyler Murray Not Spotted At The Open Portion Of Practice

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) was not at the open portion of practice for the second day in a row. Earlier this week, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he was comfortable with Murray starting without suiting up for any practices, and the reports are that Murray was likely to play on Sunday. However, anybody […]

Michael Gallup Practicing For The Second Week

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (calf) is back at his second week of practice as he works to return from an injury suffered in Week 1. Dallas coach Mike McCarthy said he wants to see Gallup "get through a full week and then evaluate it," which pours a little bit of cold water on […]

College Football Betting Picks for Week Ten (11/6/2021)

As we enter Week Ten, the nation is now down to just six unbeaten teams, and the first College Football Playoff rankings have been released. The Georgia Bulldogs look currently unbeatable, and appear on a collision course with Alabama in the SEC championship game. Cincinnati, meanwhile is doing everything they can to earn respect, and […]

CeeDee Lamb Sprains Ankle At Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb sprained his ankle during practice on Wednesday and will be limited during Thursday's practice. While a practice injury is never good news, the fact that Lamb is limited today and not simply being held out could bode well for his ability to suit up on Sunday. Whether or not […]

Tony Pollard - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is worth a look in deeper leagues for a Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos defense has been good at forcing opposing teams to run the ball by defending the passing game well, but then haven't been able to do much to stop the run. Pollard […]

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is set up for another strong performance in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. Elliott hasn't scored in two weeks, but he's run the ball 33 times and made 11 catches in the meantime, so his fantasy production hasn't slipped too much. In Week 9, he'll get a Broncos […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Excused From Practice Again

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was excused from practice again Thursday as the continued rift between he and the Browns gets sorted out. Beckham is reportedly open to returning to the facility if the team wants him back, but even if he does, it's highly unlikely he has any rest-of-season value with the […]

Dak Prescott - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) is back at practice and expected to make the start for a Week 9 contest against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos defense has been very good against opposing quarterbacks, allowing the third fewest points to the position. They recently moved Von Miller in a trade though, and they have […]
