Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George scored 42 of his team's 92 points in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers.

Sterling Shepard Limited In Friday's Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice. He was limited for the second consecutive day and is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Kansas Chiefs. The 28-year-old has missed three games due to hamstring injuries.

Daniel Jones - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is a borderline QB1 in a plus matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs for Monday Night Football. The Chiefs' defense has been abysmal all season, allowing 276 passing yards per game and ranked 31st in pass DVOA. Jones is expected to be without top offensive weapons WR Kenny Golladay […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Derrick Henry - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is matchup proof and is an elite RB1 against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. He has racked up 869 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns over seven games in 2021. This season, the Colts defense has been stingy against the run and ranked fourth against the opposing team running […]

Matt DiBenedetto Carries DFS Upside At Martinsville

Matt DiBenedetto begins Sunday from the 21st position at Martinsville. During the Spring, he started 22nd, got into the top-ten several times, and fell slightly back to 12th. He has four top-20 results in his previous four appearances. So, moving up position-wise appears likely. It becomes more a question of can DiBenedetto and his Wood […]

Michael McDowell Starts 19th At Martinsville On Sunday

Michael McDowell begins Sunday inside the top-20 at Martinsville. However, he has just three top-20 results career on the short track. Furthermore, the Front Row Motorsports Racing driver again cannot just get near the front with a slower car. His impatience at times is a reason for that but the car is a bigger detriment. […]

Tyler Reddick An Intriguing Option On Sunday At Martinsville

Tyler Reddick has the race car to make some noise at Martinsville on Sunday. He started in 13th and finished eighth during the Spring race. Also, Reddick was near the Hendricks brigade for most of that time. The No. 8 car has the downforce to stay on the line and even had a bit of […]

Bubba Wallace Has Good Chance To Stay On Lead Lap Sunday

What may be lost at Martinsville is that in the Spring, Bubba Wallace led 23 laps. That is not just during a pit window, etc. It means at that point, Wallace's No. 23 was rather fast. So, there is speed. The question is sustainability on the 0.526-mile track. Wallace faded badly down the stretch of […]

Ross Chastain Might Stay On Lead Lap At Martinsville

This is the best starting position that Ross Chastain has had for the Martinsville race. However, is 16th a good thing? Chastain does not appear to have a car that can stay by any of the dominators in this build. The two Fall races have seen him drift backwards and end up several laps off […]

Chris Buescher Not Likely To Crack Top 10 At Martinsville

Chris Buescher finishing in the top-20 is likely. Expecting him to crack the top ten is not. The Roush Fenway Racing driver starts 15th on Sunday and he did during the Spring race as well. Buescher ended up 13th that time as he hovered around the top ten but faded a little bit late. Last […]

Austin Dillon Likely To Tread Water At Martinsville

Austin Dillon has never finished in the top 10 during a fall race at Martinsville. He has never crashed out of the race, though. Dillon had to retire during the spring race last year due to fatigue. The Richard Childress Racing driver has not finished on the lead lap in his previous three fall appearances. […]

Alex Bowman Not Recommended At Martinsville

Alex Bowman did manage consecutive sixth-place finishes in 2020, but again the crash risk (twice in the last five races) carries some weight here. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver will likely not be in a position to lead a lap unless it is during some pit window. Bowman starts 13th on Sunday, which hamstrings his […]

Another Top-10 Result Is Possible For Christopher Bell

Christopher Bell has finished eighth or better in his last four races. He started 23rd in the Spring race for Martinsville and wound up seventh while leading nine laps. Bell has improved in each of his three appearances on the short track. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts 12th on Sunday. Expect Bell to rush […]

William Byron Has Mixed Bag Of Results At Martinsville

William Byron has had some wild rides on the short track at Martinsville. The No. 24 car has crashed twice in four Fall races, finished fourth in the Spring, second in 2019, and yet only has led 9 laps there. That is pretty crazy, honestly. The Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver is not among the top […]

Kurt Busch Expected To Stay Around Top 10 At Martinsville

Kurt Busch is not expected to win on Sunday at Martinsville but could easily finish in the top 10. Over the past three fall races, the No. 1 car has finished either fifth or sixth. The elder Busch even starts 10th. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver did lead 23 laps last fall, but then quickly […]

Kevin Harvick Still Can Impact Chase At Martinsville

Kevin Harvick still has a chance to impact the Championship Four this weekend at Martinsville. Now, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not finished better than fifth since 2011. The No. 4 car started ninth and finished ninth in the Spring. Furthermore, Harvick has not led a lap on the 0.526-mile track since 2016. His car […]
