Robby Anderson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson will be tough to recommend in Week 9 against the Patriots. In perhaps one of the biggest understatements, Anderson has been a massive disappointment for fantasy purposes this year, as he has seen at least seven targets in four of his last five games but has failed to exceed […]

DeAndre Hopkins Listed As Questionable Against 49ers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) missed practice all week and is listed as questionable for the Week 9 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Hopkins is expected to be a game-time decision, along with quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle). Nuk was questionable entering last Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers as well. He […]

Kyle Larson Favored To Win Phoenix And Cup Series

After nine wins in 35 races, it comes down to Phoenix for Kyle Larson and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing team. The driver in the No. 5 car has been masterful all year. Last week, he stayed out of trouble and still finished in the top-15. That was after two wins in the previous two weeks. […]

George Kittle Returning In Week 9

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) will be activated from Injured Reserve before Sunday's divisional game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. This was always the expectation with Kittle returning to practice this week, but now it's official. Fantasy managers can gladly slide the top-tier tight […]

DJ Moore - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore could be in line for a big day in Week 9 against New England. Moore is seeing bankable volume, as he has accumulated no less than seven targets in every game played this year, drawing double-digit targets in five contests. That large target share has resulted in just two […]

Martin Truex Jr. Has Shot At Glory Once More At Phoenix

Martin Truex Jr. led 64 laps, including the final one, during the spring race as he won at Phoenix. It was his first-ever win on the track after a few close calls through the years. The one concern has been early on in practice, where the No. 19 car has been out of the top […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Questionable For Week 9

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) is questionable for the team's Week 9 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Okwuegbunam was limited in practice this week, so he has a chance to play this weekend after coming off Injured Reserve in Week 8 to catch all three of his targets for 34 yards in the […]

Joey Logano Has Great Chance To Win At Phoenix

Joey Logano has been on the podium at Phoenix quite a bit. In his last three races, the No. 22 car has finished first, third and second, respectively. He has led a total of 421 laps over the past four races. Again, Logano has nearly won three times in a row at the one-mile track. […]

Kris Letang Propels Penguins To Victory

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang recorded the overtime winner to defeat in-state rival Philadelphia Thursday. Pretty impressive since he just returned from the Covid-19 protocol. Letang logs over 26 minutes of ice-time a game while scoring one goal and adding four assists in five games. He has been a constant offensive threat for the Penguins […]

Noah Fant Not Expected To Play Against Cowboys

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio doesn't expect tight end Noah Fant to play in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys since he remains on the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list. Backup tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) is also questionable to play on Sunday, so the Broncos could be down to Eric Saubert at the position this […]

Brad Keselowski Ends With Team Penske At Phoenix

Brad Keselowski has one more race with Team Penske before he moves on for next season. In the meantime, Keselowski was the fastest in one of the early practices heading into Sunday's race. Again, it is early. However, the No. 2 car looks to have a little extra jump when compared to recent races. The […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard could still have a fantasy-relevant role on Sunday against the Patriots. Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) seems like he could suit up, though the Panthers and fantasy managers have been hoping for that for about five weeks now, so it's no sure thing. Regardless, head coach Matt Rhule said that the […]

Denny Hamlin In Good Position At Phoenix

For Denny Hamlin, all he could ask was to be in the final race with a shot to win the title. After some crazy twists and turns, that is exactly where the Joe Gibbs Racing car driver is as Phoenix approaches on Sunday. The last two years have seen the No. 11 car finish fourth […]

Julio Jones Will Play Sunday Night

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was limited in practice all week, but he was removed from the final Week 9 injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. It's good news, considering A.J. Brown (knee) is now questionable after missing practice on Friday with a knee […]

Kevin Harvick Likely To Be Near The Front At Phoenix

Kevin Harvick expects to be near the front again at Phoenix. Now, so does Chase Elliott. Cue the inevitable questions as no one truly knows what may happen. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has won eight times at Phoenix and has finished in the top ten every race since Fall of 2013 (16 races). It is […]

Jordan Akins - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins could see increased playing time in Week 9 against the Dolphins. Fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown (thigh) has been ruled out for the contest- meaning Akins could build upon the season-high 64 percent of the snaps and 53 yards he accumulated in last week's loss to the Rams. It's […]

A.J. Brown Now Questionable With Knee Injury

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) popped up on the team's Week 9 injury report after not practicing on Friday, and he's officially questionable to play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. This is a troubling development, as new injuries that crop up on Fridays are usually never good news. Stay tuned […]

Chase Elliott May Repeat Championship At Phoenix

Chase Elliott won the NASCAR Cup Championship at Phoenix last year after leading 153 of the laps (almost half the race). The Spring race last year saw the No. 9 car lead 93 laps. Now, this Spring was a bit of a different story but Elliott did manage a fifth-place result in a car that […]

Snap Count and Usage Analysis for Week 9

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 […]

Dolphins Place DeVante Parker On Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins are placing wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday after he suffered a setback with his troublesome hamstring in practice this week. Parker, who has already missed three games this year with hamstring and shoulder issues, will now be forced to miss at least three more games. Will Fuller […]

Steelers Defense A Great Fantasy Option In Week 9

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense draws an excellent home matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 9's Monday Night Football game. Chicago's offense has been a gold mine for opposing defenses as they are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position this year. The Steelers are installed as 6.5-point home favorites in a […]

Danny Amendola - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola draws a favorable matchup against Miami. Amendola is coming off of playing a season-high 64 percent of the snaps against the Rams- indicating he is fully healthy after dealing with a leg injury. The veteran wideout has seen five targets in three of four games played this year, a […]

William Byron Likely To Finish In Top 10 At Phoenix

William Byron has quite a nice streak going heading into Sunday's season finale at Phoenix. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car has finished in the top ten three consecutive times on the 1-mile track. That's right (10th, 9th, and 8th). Byron's average finish over the previous three years is 12.71. That ranks tenth among all current […]

Ross Chastain Not Much Of A DFS Play At Phoenix

Ross Chastain likely will not factor much from a DFS standpoint on Sunday as the NASCAR season ends in Phoenix. Chastain started 22nd during the Spring race and wound up 19th at the end. He did not move up or down all that much and did not have the speed to push into the top […]

Aleksander Barkov Notches Two Goals Thursday

Aleksander Barkov scored two goals for the Florida Panthers Thursday versus Washington. Florida is at the top of the Atlantic Division with a record of 9-0-1. Through ten contests, the Finnish centerman recorded seven goals and five assists in just ten games played. Two of his goals were game-winners, and he has 29 shots on […]

Chase Briscoe Not Recommended For Phoenix

Chase Briscoe finished outside of the top 20 in his first NASCAR race at Phoenix in the Spring. There is little to believe that he will improve much on that position on Sunday. Briscoe has not finished in the top ten in any race since Watkins Glen back in the summer. The 1-mile tracks have […]

Calvin Ridley Out For At Least Three Games

The Atlanta Falcons placed wide receiver Calvin Ridley on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list on Friday, which means that he'll be out for at least the next three games while dealing with personal issues. Ridley issued a statement last Sunday that he's stepping away from football indefinitely, so fantasy managers need to be prepared for Ridley […]

Nico Collins - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is a sleeper play in Week 9 against the Dolphins. Collins was coming off of a combined 11 targets heading into last week's matchup and went on to enjoy the best game of his young career against the Rams, totaling 55 yards. Now, he'll get starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor […]

Hunter Harvey Claimed Off Waivers By Giants

The San Francisco Giants have claimed relief pitcher Hunter Harvey off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. The oft-injured right-hander was Baltimore's top pick in the 2013 draft. Harvey has appeared in 23 career major-league games, recording a 1-2 record with a 3.42 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings. While Harvey was […]

Sammy Watkins Questionable For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) practiced on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. Watkins has missed the team's last two games, but he looks to be on the right track to returning this weekend after resting up during the team's […]
