Ke'Shawn Vaughn Active For First Time This Season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn will make his 2021 debut on Sunday against the Rams, but is expected to mainly work on special teams. He might see some snaps on offense, but not enough to cut into the workload of Ronald Jones II or Leonard Fournette. Vaughn can be safely left on waiver […]

Josh Jacobs Out For Week 3

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Miami Dolphins. This will be the second week in a row that Jacobs has been absent. Last week, Peyton Barber led the Raiders in carries, but Kenyan Drake was on the field for over 70 percent of the […]

A.J. Brown Ruled Out In Week 3

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown, who exited in the first quarter with a hamstring issue, has been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 3 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Brown ends the game with one run for three yards and zero receptions. If Brown misses extended time, expect to see more […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) have been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 3 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Shepard had two catches for 16 yards while Slayton had one for eight yards. While Kenny Golladay will continue to serve as the team's lead receiver, […]

James White Out For Rest Of Week 3

New England Patriots running back James White was carted off the field during Sunday's Week 3 contest against the New Orleans Saints and has been ruled out with a hip injury. He had one carry for six yards and didn't record a reception before exiting. New England's primary receiving back, an extended absence for White […]

Khalil Mack Questionable To Return

Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Mack has one sack this season but has posted four seasons with double-digit sacks. His absence will make things easier for quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Browns offense in this game if Mack is unable to […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Expected To Be Out Sunday

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) won't play on Sunday against the Buccaneers, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports. Henderson entered Sunday unlikely to play, so not much of a surprise here. Sony Michel will start, but the Buccaneers have one of the best run defenses in the NFL, so Michel […]

Dalvin Cook Expected To Be Out In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) is expected to be out for the team's Week 3 meeting with the Seahawks, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports. Cook had been trending towards being out all week, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy managers. With Cook out, Alexander Mattison is a solid […]

A.J. Brown Questionable To Return In Week 3

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is questionable to return to the team's Week 3 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Hamstrings are always a tough injury to play through, so keep a close eye on Brown's status. If Brown is unable to return, expect to see more of Chester Rogers, who already has a […]

Elias Diaz Collects A Pair Of Hits In Loss To San Francisco

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double and a strikeout in a 7-2 loss to the Giants on Saturday. Diaz was one of three Rockies' to pick up multiple hits in the lopsided loss. He hit his 18th double of the season and picked up a single as well. The 30-year-old backstop […]

Colorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a 7-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. McMahon added to Colorado's early lead with an RBI double off Anthony DeSclafani in the bottom of the first inning. It was the infielder's only hit of the ball game and the […]

Jon Gray Coughs Up Four Runs In Loss

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray took the loss on Saturday when he allowed four runs on five hits with five strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in a 7-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants. Brandon Belt was the bane of Gray's existence on Saturday as the veteran first baseman swatted two home runs off […]

Buster Posey On The Bench Sunday Against Rockies

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will not start Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies, instead taking a seat on the bench. Curt Casali will step in behind the plate, batting eighth. Posey has had a resurgent season as a hitter, slashing .301/.386/.500 with 18 homers in 376 at-bats, but he's slowed somewhat in the […]

Yadier Molina Resting Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is getting a day off Sunday as the team chases their 16th consecutive win against the Chicago Cubs. Andrew Knizner will step in as the battery-mate of starting pitcher Jake Woodford. Molina has not had the strongest season at the plate, slashing .254/.299/.374 with 11 homers and three steals […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Remains Out Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hand) is out of the lineup for the third straight game Sunday after he was cleated by Randal Grichuk chasing a fly ball on Thursday. Corey Dickerson once again will fill in in left field and bat sixth. With the wild card race in full swing, Toronto would […]

Luis Robert On The Bench Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert will take a seat on the bench for Sunday's game against Cleveland. Manager Tony La Russa will instead deploy an outfield of Eloy Jimenez, Billy Hamilton, and Andrew Vaughn. Robert has been tearing it up at the plate, slashing .357/.394/.597 with seven homers, 23 RBI, and 21 runs in […]

Kadarius Toney Dazzled In Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney dazzled in practice and will "see more snaps" in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons. Though the pick was heavily criticized, the Giants clearly saw something when they selected the former Florida Gator with the No. 20 overall pick. Now, the rookie is on the receiving end of […]

Keibert Ruiz Resting Sunday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz is resting Sunday, giving way to fellow backstop Riley Adams behind the plate. Ruiz has been on fire at the plate, homering in back-to-back games and slashing .433/.469/.700 in his last seven. He's looking like a good streaming option for the final week of the season, as well as a […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Taking A Seat Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is not in the lineup Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Hoy Park will instead man the hot corner, batting eighth. Hayes has had a disappointing season thus far, slashing just .256/.315/.371 with six homers and nine steals in 356 at-bats. There really haven't been any stretches this year that […]

Darnell Mooney Officially Active

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) is officially active in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. In Week 2, Mooney had six receptions for 66 yards and looked really impressive in doing so. The speedster possesses deep speed paired with wicked agility after the catch and in his routes; he has almost everything that […]

Josh Reynolds Is Healthy Scratch In Week 3

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Josh Reynolds was expected to compete for the No. 3 job in Tennessee after joining the franchise this offseason, but after playing just 11 snaps last week in his Titans debut, he's a healthy scratch for Week 3 against the Colts. Chester Rogers played the third-most snaps at wideout for the […]

Dillon Tate Earns Shaky Save Saturday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Dillon Tate was the choice to finish the game against the Texas Rangers Saturday, and he did successfully earn the save, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in 1 1/3 innings of work. He struck out one batter. It's Tate's third save in 60 appearances this season. Tate […]

Kelvin Gutierrez Homers Saturday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez led the way in a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers Saturday, going 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI. The two-run shot was Gutierrez's second of the year and the third of his career, coming off Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles in the seventh inning. Gutierrez […]

Matt Breida Inactive For Week 3

The Buffalo Bills have made running back Matt Breida inactive for Week 3 while Zach Moss, a healthy scratch in Week 1, will play for the second week in a row. Breida briefly appeared to be the team's No. 2 back against Pittsburgh, but had just four yards on four carries and wound up playing […]

Marlon Mack Listed As Inactive

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack is listed as a healthy scratch for the Colts' match against the Tennessee Titans. Due to quarterback Carson Wentz's ankle injury, it's believed that the Colts scratched Mack to open up a roster spot for an extra quarterback. Fantasy managers weren't starting the 25-year-old, but this serves as a […]

Austin Meadows Sitting Again Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows is out of the lineup Sunday as the team faces off against left-handed starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins. Meadows has regularly sat against lefties, and increasingly so late in the season. He's had some success with a .250/.360/.500 slash line over his past seven games, but […]

Devontae Booker Surprise Inactive

New York Giants running back Devontae Booker will be inactive for the Giants' game against the Atlanta Falcons. Furthermore, the Giants only two active running backs this week are Saquon Barkley and Gary Brightwell. Fantasy managers were not planning on starting Booker, but this serves as a major confidence boost for Barkley managers. Booker has […]

Frank Clark, Charvarius Ward Inactive For Week 3

The Kansas City Chiefs defense will be without defensive back Charvarius Ward (quad) and defensive end Frank Clark (hamstring) for Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. The KC defense has struggled to stop opposing teams this season, so being without some key defenders is good news for the Chargers offense, especially quarterback […]

Anthony Desclafani Lasts Four Innings Saturday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani lasted four innings against the Colorado Rockies Saturday, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk in four innings. He struck out three batters and did not factor into the decision in a 7-2 victory. Desclafani has now gone eight straight starts without giving up more […]
