Jake Elliott - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott took full advantage of a blowout win over the Detroit Lions in Week 8, kicking three field goals and five extra points on his way to the overall K2 finish of the week. Week 9 will likely see Elliott return to his low-volume, short-kicks-only approach that has kept him outside […]

Bears Hoping To Get David Montgomery Involved On Monday

The Chicago Bears opened the 21-day practice window for running back David Montgomery (knee) on Thursday, and the team is hoping to get him at least some work on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. That means that the Bears are planning to activate Montgomery from Injured Reserve at some point later […]

Dallas Goedert - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will look to continue growing his role and his production in a Week 9 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Since the Eagles traded tight end Zach Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals, Goedert has put up season highs in targets and yards in each game. He's been the overall […]

Taysom Hill Practices In Full Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, an upgrade from his limited session a day ago. Hill is now on track to play in Sunday's game against Atlanta, though head coach Sean Payton has yet to name a new starter in place of the injured Jameis Winston (knee), […]

Carlos Hyde Should Be Ready For Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde (calf) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Hyde should be active for the Week 9 game against the Buffalo Bills, and there's a chance that he could operate as the team's primary running back if James Robinson (heel) […]

Quez Watkins - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins could see a somewhat larger role in a Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. With Jalen Reagor (ankle) falling further and further out of favor in this offense and now playing injured, Watkins could move into the second spot on the Eagles wide receiver depth chart. He's […]

DeVonta Smith - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith had an amazing matchup in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions but ended up only seeing three targets. It was mostly because the Eagles were ahead all game and had no problem moving the ball on the ground, but it was also because quarterback Jalen Hurts has been […]

James Robinson Misses Another Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (heel) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. He was the only player for the team not to practice on Thursday. Despite the two straight missed practices, he'll have a chance to play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills if he can get back on […]

Dak Prescott Expects To Play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) said he's had two great practices this week and that it's "safe to say" that he will play in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Cowboys held Prescott out as a precaution in the Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but he will return this […]

Kenneth Gainwell - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell took a backseat in the running game in Week 8 despite starter Miles Sanders (ankle) being on injured reserve. Instead, the Eagles gave a dozen carries each to special teamer Boston Scott and practice squad player Jordan Howard. Gainwell did end up with 13 touches, but 12 of […]

Russell Gage A Full Participant Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (groin) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session and said he's "feeling good, ready to roll." A limited participant on Wednesday. Gage is now on track to suit up against the Saints after upgrading his activity level. The LSU product could be needed now more than ever with […]

Jordan Howard - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard came off the practice squad and scored two touchdowns in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. Week 9 brings with it another excellent matchup, as the Los Angeles Chargers have done nothing to stop the run game this season. Howard may not score twice this time around, but he […]

Boston Scott - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott was great in Week 8, scoring two touchdowns in a rout over the Detroit Lions. Week 9 shapes up differently, with the playoff-hopeful Los Angeles Chargers as the opponent. Still, the Chargers defense has been awful against the run but strong against the pass. There could be plenty of […]

Allen Robinson II - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II takes his disastrous offensive season on the road to Pittsburgh in Week 9. The Pro Bowl receiver has been non-existent this season, racking up only 26 receptions for 271 yards and only one touchdown through eight games. Even worse, the talented receiver is averaging only 4.6 targets over […]

Darnell Mooney - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney will take on a Steelers defense that is allowing the 10th most fantasy points to opposing receivers. Mooney has emerged as rookie quarterback Justin Fields favorite target over the past few weeks, averaging 7.3 targets over his last three games. Mooney hasn't had much to show for it in […]

Cole Kmet - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will take on a Steelers defense that is allowing the 12th fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. The second-year tight end got off to a very disappointing start but slowly has gotten more involved in the offense. Kmet has 21 targets over his last four games and registered […]

Jalen Hurts - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has a wide range of possible outcomes in a Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense is easily exploitable in the ground game but tough in the passing game, so we're sure to see plenty of the Eagles running the ball in this one. Combine that […]

Justin Fields - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will go on the road to face a tough Steelers defense Monday night in Week 9. The rookie is coming off one of his most promising performances, electrifying the home crowd with 175 passing yards, one passing touchdown with 103 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown in a loss to […]

Damien Williams - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams will go up against a Steelers defense that is allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. The veteran became the team's lead running back a month ago when starter David Montgomery went down but it was short-lived after being placed on the COVID list. […]

Khalil Herbert - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert is still on track to be the lead runner heading into the team's Week 9 matchup against the Steelers. The rookie has been solid since stepping in for the injured David Montgomery, averaging 19.5 touches and 86 rushing yards over the last four games. Montgomery returns to practice this […]

Tyler Clippard Returns To Free Agency

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Tyler Clippard is back on the open market. The 37-year-old righty will receive a buyout of $500 thousand dollars in lieu of the $3.5 million dollars he would have made had his mutual option been picked up by both sides. Clippard was injured for much of the 2021 season, but he […]

Mike Davis - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis could struggle in Week 9 against a tough Saints run defense. Davis saw a season-low four touches two weeks ago but rebounded with a 14-touch effort last week, so the volume bounced back to near his season average even if the results remained disappointing. The veteran runner may need […]

Kevin Pillar Set For Free Agency

New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar will not return to the team as both he and the club declined their sides of his mutual option Thursday. Pillar, who produced a .692 OPS with 15 homers, four steals, 40 runs, and 47 RBI in 325 at-bats this season, was perhaps most notable for being hit in […]

Cardinals Decline Options On Matt Carpenter, Carlos Martinez

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter and pitcher Carlos Martinez each had their options declined by the club. This was a foregone conclusion in each case, as Carpenter has slashed just .176/.313/.291 with a 29.9 percent strikeout rate since the start of 2020, and Martinez was responsible for a 6.95 ERA in the same time […]

Christian McCaffrey On The Practice Field Thursday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) was on the practice field Thursday. McCaffrey was reportedly "very limited" during Wednesday's practice, and he likely would have carried the same designation on Thursday's report, as he was limited to riding a bike and stretching. Head coach Matt Rhule had said that he's "hopeful" for the star […]

Josh Richardson Could Miss Thursday's Game

Boston Celtics forward Josh Richardson (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. He is currently dealing with a left foot contusion, but hopefully this isn't a serious issue. The Celtics might decide to take the cautious approach here and rest Richardson in the second game of this back-to-back set. His […]

Adam Duvall Turns Down Option, To Remain With Atlanta

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall has declined his end of a $7 million dollar mutual option, instead opting to be a paid a $3 million dollar buyout. He does not become a free agent however, and he is now eligible for arbitration, where he figures to land a salary in the area of $9 million […]

Jake Diekman Hits Open Market

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Jake Diekman will be looking for a new home in 2022, as the Athletics declined to pick up his $4 million option. They'll instead pay the left-hander a $750,000 buyout. This is a surprising move, as Diekman pitched effectively with a 3.86 ERA, a 1.34 WHIP, 83 strikeouts and seven saves […]
