Jason Myers - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was one of the safest fantasy options a season ago, but he no longer has that status heading into Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Myers is just 6-for-10 on field goals this year, and he's 24-for-29 on kicking opportunities overall. He has yet to hit double-digit fantasy points in […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC 267: Błachowicz vs. Teixeira (Premium Content)

Well, the moment has arrived. Jan Blachowicz, the only man to ever defeat Israel Adesanya in the world of MMA, is back to defend his LHW title now against a "proper" division foe. I don't buy the narrative, but most folks out there want to watch Jan doing it against a true LHW instead of a bulking-up […]

D.K. Metcalf - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf struggled due to the rain last week, but he has a chance for a big fantasy outing in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Metcalf leads the team in targets since quarterback Geno Smith took over the starting duties when quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) went down with an injury. […]

Tyler Lockett - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has struggled mightily with quarterback Geno Smith under center, but he could bounce back in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have given up 289 or more passing yards in all but one game this season, with the lone exception being the Tennessee Titans, who dominated Jacksonville […]

Geno Smith - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has struggled in his first two starts, but he has a chance to show some real value in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have been one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, especially on the defensive side of the ball. They've given up at […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/28/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! With the season finally underway, we are starting to see some rotations shake out. But, on the other hand, some coaches are playing an absurd amount of players from their squads. For example, on Tuesday, Jason Kidd used all 15 of his players to win over Houston. Then, last night, Wes Unseld Jr. […]

2021 Fantasy Baseball Pitching Awards

The World Series is underway, promising us a new champion this year. It will be followed soon thereafter by the announcement of the 2021 MLB Awards. Among those are MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and the usual annual hardware that is doled out to those most deserving. For fantasy baseball purposes, we view […]

Tyler Higbee - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has maintained a consistent role in the team's offense this season, and he could have some sneaky upside in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Higbee is second on the team in red-zone target share at just over 25 percent, and he's the lone tight end on the […]

Robert Woods - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has shown some life in recent weeks, but he still lacks the high-end ceiling heading into Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Woods has recorded at least 30 yards in every game since Week 2, and he's maintained a 21 percent target share in the red zone this […]

Cooper Kupp - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is en route to a WR1 overall campaign this season, and that battle continues in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. The Texans have no defender that is capable of matching up with Kupp on an every-down basis. Kupp is firmly the WR1 in the Rams offense. He's […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. looked as though he was heading towards a possible running back committee earlier in the season, but it's clear heading into a great matchup in Week 8 against the Houston Texans that this backfield belongs all to him. Henderson has played at least 60 percent of the […]

Matthew Stafford - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is the QB6 after seven weeks, and he has a great matchup to slide further up the rankings in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Stafford has thrown for two or more touchdowns in six out of seven games this year, and he's thrown for at least 250 yards […]

T.J. Hockenson Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (ankle, knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He has been bothered by a knee injury most of October and is now dealing with an ankle issue. The 24-year-old has yet to miss any games, but injuries have limited his production. Hockenson has hauled in 22-of-33 targets for […]

James Washington - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington failed to capitalize on his increased opportunities in Week 6. Despite JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) being out for the season, Washington only played eight snaps against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6, finishing with one catch for nine yards. He will look to bounce back in a plus matchup against […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Has "Outside Chance" To Practice This Week

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) has an outside chance to practice this week. He hasn't played at all this year after having meniscus surgery in May, and the 49ers are "hopeful" the running back could return in a few weeks. The 25-year-old rushed for 600 yards on 126 attempts and seven […]

Chase Claypool - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (hamstring) comes out of his Week 7 bye to take on the Cleveland Browns on the road in Week 8. Claypool disappointed in his last game, catching just two passes for 17 yards, but he should bounce back in a plus matchup against Cleveland in Week 8. Cleveland has […]

Diontae Johnson - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been heavily targeted in 2021, having drawn double-digit looks in all but one of his games played. He will head on the road to take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 in what sets up as a plus matchup for the veteran wideout. Cleveland is allowing the […]

Najee Harris - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is off to an impressive start to his rookie season. He comes out of his Week 7 bye with 632 all-purpose yards and four total touchdowns. Harris will get his first taste of the Steelers/Browns rivalry when he takes on Cleveland on the road in Week 8. The Browns […]

Ben Roethlisberger - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger comes out of his bye with seven touchdowns and four interceptions in six games. The veteran will be greeted with a plus matchup on the road against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. While Roethlisberger has only thrown for multiple touchdowns once all year, the Browns are allowing the fourth-most […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (10/28/21)

We are back down to two college football games on Thursday and Friday this week. That's a bit disappointing after the larger slates last week, but we still have some good plays on this slate. Let's see what we have to work with. Both games start at 7:30 pm Eastern tonight. We have the beloved […]

Free College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread 10/28/21 And Week 8 Results

It was another crazy week of upsets. Penn State lost in the bottom of the ninth overtime to Michigan outcast Brandon Peters and an inept Illinois offense. Purdue got punched in the mouth and trampled by a rhino (well.....Badger) named Braelon Allen. Our beloved Chanticleers lost outright in Boone on Wednesday, making me 0-2 on […]

Thursday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Packers vs Cardinals

Congratulations for making it through the byepocalypse. Hopefully, you survived and are ready for another amazing week of football. While I hope you were relatively unscathed during the byepocalypse, the NFL wasn’t so lucky. We approach Week 8 with the Cincinnati Bengals leading the AFC and Patrick Mahomes looking like a mere mortal. It might […]

J.J. Watt Likely Done For The Season

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (shoulder) is now likely to undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder, according to sources. Watt injured his shoulder in the second quarter of the Week 7 win over the Houston Texans but still managed to play the rest of the game. He was ruled out for the Thursday night […]

Snap Count and Usage Analysis for Week 8

Snap counts are not the be-all-end-all for fantasy production but they paint a clear picture with the necessary context. Every snap is an opportunity for a player to make his presence felt and if their snaps go up or down, you get an idea of what the team thinks of their skill set. A running […]

Willson Contreras Could Be Shopped

The Chicago Cubs will likely try to work out a contract extension with catcher Willson Contreras, who can become a free agent a year from now. However, if a deal can't be reached, president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer "will almost certainly shop" the 29-year-old backstop. Contreras was worth 2.1 Wins Above Replacement in 2021, […]

Richard Sherman, Lavonte David Return To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) and linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) both returned to limited practices on Wednesday, while outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (finger, shoulder) didn't practice. Getting Sherman back would be excellent news for a depleted secondary as they get ready to face the division-rival New Orleans Saints this Sunday, even if he's […]

Javon Kinlaw May Need Season-Ending Surgery

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) is currently in Los Angeles being evaluated, and he could need season-ending surgery. The 14th overall pick last year has missed two games with a knee injury that required multiple offseason surgeries after he initially injured it on Dec. 20 last year. Kinlaw has yet to practice […]

Dee Eskridge Could Return To Practice This Week

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) could return to practice this week after going to Florida to visit with specialists regarding a lingering concussion that he suffered in the season opener, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Eskridge was working on "some visual things" related to his concussion, and he can come off […]
