Connor McDavid's Three-Point Night Dazzles In Edmonton Win

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid can make anyone run out of superlatives. Connor McDavid scored a highlight-reel goal and added two helpers. Edmonton came back from down 4-1 to win 6-5 in overtime. It does not matter how many goals the Oilers are down in a game because of players like Connor McDavid. He had […]

EPL DFS Lineup Picks for DraftKings (11/06/21) - English Premier League Soccer Matchweek 11 - Part One

Welcome back to “The Kick-Off”! We have a very small slate with many of you familiar to it if you played last season. The slate revolves around big favorites Chelsea -440, followed by the big ceiling potential of Brentford -170. With there only being three matches, it makes lineup building extremely volatile in terms of […]

Jonnu Smith - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith has yet to surpass 200 receiving yards on the season through the first eight contests of the year. The Patriots haven't been able to get much production from Smith and that's unlikely to change. They'll head into a Week 9 matchup against a tough Carolina Panthers defense. A […]

Carlos Hyde (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The concept of adding Hyde to your roster has not evoked the same level of enthusiasm as other backs that have been contained in this column. However, his outlook has been altered in the aftermath of the heel injury that sidelined James Robinson. That […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilson was included in the weekly recommendations when he was expected to return from injured reserve in late October. The timetable for him to resurface has shifted to late November, but that does not preclude you from stashing him if you are […]

Boston Scott (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenny Gainwell’s rostership percentage rose from 21% to 66% during the past week after Miles Sanders incurred his ankle injury. Interest in attaining Scott was not nearly as robust, as a byproduct of his limited involvement prior to Sanders’ sudden departure. Scott had only registered […]

Dusty Baker Returning To Astros In 2022

The Houston Astros announced on Friday that they signed manager Dusty Baker to a one-year contract extension for the 2022 season after he came just two wins shy of winning the World Series this year. Next season will mark the 72-year-old's 25th season as a manager in professional baseball and his third with the Astros […]

Hunter Henry - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry saw his four-game touchdown streak come to an end against the Los Angeles Chargers last week. He finished with one reception on three targets for 33 yards in the win. At this point, it seems like Henry isn't going to be anything more than a touchdown-dependent option most […]

Seiya Suzuki To Be Posted This Offseason

Japanese star right fielder Seiya Suzuki will be posted this offseason by the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Nippon Professional Baseball and made available to major league clubs, according to a source. The 27-year-old will compete with Starling Marte as one of this winter's top available free-agent outfielders after he's been a five-time All-Star in Japan. […]

Jeremy McNichols (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (PPR only) ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Derrick Henry was spotted receiving medical attention with his cleat off in the first half on Sunday but played out the game, only to have us wake up on Monday to news that he suffered a season-ending foot injury. We must […]

Adrian Peterson (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Yes, that Adrian Peterson. All-Day AP has been signed to the Titans' practice squad and will serve as the discount replacement for Derrick Henry. How much juice does the 36-year-old have left in the tank? He averaged 3.9 yards per carry for […]

Giants Decline Johnny Cueto's Option

The San Francisco Giants declined starting pitcher Johnny Cueto's $22 million option for the 2022 season on Friday, making him a free agent. Instead, the veteran right-hander will receive a $5 million buyout. As he nears the back end of his career, Cueto has become a back-of-the-rotation starter after missing most of the 2018 and […]

Kendrick Bourne - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has been able to make the most of his chances this season. Over the last two weeks, Bourne has four receptions for 35 yards or more in each contest. He is the third option on the depth chart, but remains involved in the passing attack every week. That […]

Javon Kinlaw Undergoes ACL Reconstruction

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) recently underwent a successful ACL reconstruction on his injured right knee to fix chronic changes in his knee. The 49ers are hoping that the 24-year-old first-round pick in 2020 can return to full health for the start of the 2022 campaign. Kinlaw was working through knee issues […]

Nelson Agholor - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor has put together two fairly decent weeks after struggling through the first part of the season. Over the last two weeks, Agholor has 50 or more receiving yards in each contest. Although, that streak might come to an end against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. A defense […]

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you remember, the Jaguars traded for Dan Arnold a few weeks ago and Arnold debuted for Jacksonville back in Week 4... only to put up a dud of just 4.9 PPR points against Cincy. All he could do back then was […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has not scored a touchdown through the first eight games of the season. Despite that, Meyers has remained a fairly reliable PPR option in fantasy formats. He has seen 68 targets and remains heavily involved in the passing attack. That should remain the case against the Carolina Panthers […]

Damien Williams Trending In The Wrong Direction

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (knee) missed his second straight practice of the week on Friday. If Williams is unable to get on the practice field on Saturday, he's unlikely to play on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers after he was injured in the Week 8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Initially […]

Rhamondre Stevenson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has seen more action over the last few games. He wasn't involved much to begin the season, but has seen his carries increase over the course of the last month or so. Sadly, the rookie running back hasn't been able to find much success at the professional level. […]

Brandon Bolden - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden has been asked to pick up the slack in the absence of James White (hip) this season. He has done a fairly decent job, but doesn't produce the same type of impact as White in fantasy leagues. Bolden has made a splash a few times, but his usage […]

Kamaru Usman Set To Defend His Title Yet Again

Since winning the UFC middleweight title in March of 2019, Kamaru Usman has successfully defended his crown four times with a fifth attempt on the way as he is set for a rematch with Colby Covington to headline UFC 268 on Saturday night. One of the most dominant champions in the UFC today, Usman has […]

Darnell Mooney Pops Up On Injury Report Friday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) was added to the team's Week 9 injury report on Friday after he got in a limited practice. Mid-week injuries are usually never a good thing, but the fact that Mooney was still able to practice on a limited basis is a good sign. It's an injury that […]

Damien Harris - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has turned it on over the last few weeks. In fact, Harris has five touchdowns and two games of over 100 rushing yards in the last four contests. He'll head into a matchup against the Carolina Panthers who rank 19th in rush DVOA this season. Although, Carolina is […]

Colby Covington Takes Another Crack At The Championship

After his fifth-round TKO loss to the champion in December of 2019, Colby Covington (16-2) rebounded nicely with a fifth-round TKO of his own to knock out former champion Tyson Woodley in September of last year. It's been about 14 months, and Covington returns to action to take another crack at current champion Kamaru Usman, […]

Mac Jones - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is coming off a below-average performance during the Week 8 win against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones has been able to help the Patriots stay in games, but he isn't an ideal fantasy option right now. He'll head into a Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who rank […]

Chris Boswell Should Be Good To Go For Monday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (concussion) was a full participant at practice on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Boswell suffered a concussion on a fake field-goal attempt in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, but it looks like he has cleared the league's concussion protocol, and he should be fine to play […]

Alexander Holtz Makes His NHL Debut Against Los Angeles

New Jersey Devils right winger Alexander Holtz will make his NHL debut on Friday night against the Los Angeles Kings. Holtz enjoyed his short time in Utica scoring five goals in four games. It was clear that he was a man apart in the AHL. New Jersey needs a spark and Holtz can at least […]

Eric Ebron Returns To Limited Practice Friday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) managed to get in a limited practice on Friday after sitting out Thursday's session. Ebron was inactive for the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, but he seems to be trending in the right direction to make it back on Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Even […]

Cardinals To Play It Safe With Kyler Murray?

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers, and general manager Steve Keim said the team needs to "be smart" with the signal-caller and "think about the big picture." It sounds awfully similar to the company line that the Dallas Cowboys used a week […]

Rose Namajunas Has A Chance To Assert Her Dominance

With only 10 wins in her young MMA career, Rose Namajunas (10-4) is already on her second reign as the UFC's strawweight champion. Namajunas captured the title with a spectacular first-round head kick to dethrone then-champion Weili Zhang, who will get the rematch in Saturday's co-main event. A finisher even in the strawweight ranks, seven […]
