Michael Badgley Joins Active Roster

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley has been elevated to the active roster. He had been on the practice squad ever since signing with the team earlier this week. The 26-year-old kicked in 36 games with the Chargers between 2018 and 2020, connecting on 52 of 65 field goals (80 percent). He also spent a game […]

D'Andre Swift Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

The Swift call here really sets up nicely for one of my favorite GPP stacks this week as I plan to pair Joe Burrow with some of his pass-catchers and bring it back with D'Andre. Listen, this price is a bit goofy considering the fact that Swift is averaging 18.2 DK points per game and […]

Le'Veon Bell Called Up From Practice Squad

Baltimore Ravens running back Le'Veon Bell has been promoted from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. He has taken offensive snaps in just one game this season: a four-rush, 11-yard showing against the Broncos two weeks ago. Heading into Week 6, Bell will likely play behind Latavius Murray, Ty'Son Williams, and […]

Rashod Bateman Officially Activated From IR

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) has officially been activated from injured reserve. The Minnesota product missed the first five games of the season but will make his NFL debut in Week 6 against the Chargers. In fact, he could be used in a significant role with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) not expected to […]

Taylor Heinicke Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

The Washington Football team and their young QB will face a 31st-ranked DVOA pass defense this week when the Kansas City Chiefs come to town. Even if you think the Chiefs handle WFT, there's plenty of reason to think that Heinicke can put up some nice numbers here with some of the talent he has […]

Cody Bellinger On The Bench For NLCS Game 1

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder and first baseman Cody Bellinger isn't in the starting lineup for the first game of the National League Championship Series. The 26-year-old is hitting .294 with a .368 on-base percentage in 19 plate appearances this postseason, but he'll move to the bench on Saturday. Los Angeles is starting Albert Pujols at […]

Kalif Raymond Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Raymond has a golden opportunity to be peppered with passes this Sunday since Detroit wideouts Tyrell Williams and Quintez Cephus are both on injured reserve. Even if Williams recovers and returns this week, Raymond has a decent chance to lead the Lions in targets as he had 16 between Weeks 3 and 4 and scored two touchdowns. Teammate Amon-Ra St. […]

Eddie Rosario Starting NLCS Game 1

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario is in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. The veteran is batting leadoff on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Reliever Corey Knebel will start the game for the Dodgers. While Rosario doesn't have a hit in four career plate appearances against Knebel, he […]

AJ Pollock Is In The Lineup For NLCS Game 1

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock is getting the start in left field for the first game of the National League Championship Series. Pollock is hitting seventh against the Atlanta Braves and left-handed starter Max Fried. In eight career plate appearances against Fried, the outfielder has recorded a pair of hits and a walk. Saturday […]

Robert Tonyan Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

We all knew a regression from 2020 was due to happen for Tonyan. But to completely disappear from the Packers' offense entirely was unexpected. Through five games, he has just nine receptions, leading to a lowly 4.6 FPPG and landing him at 37th at the position. There are some silver linings to Tonyan as he […]

Albert Pujols Starting NLCS Game 1

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols is in the line lineup for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday night. The Dodgers will take on the Atlanta Braves and left-hander Max Fried with Pujols starting at first base and batting sixth. The veteran hit .294 with a .336 on-base percentage and […]

Kirk Cousins Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Cousins is on the road against the Carolina Panthers defense that has given up the fewest passing yards per game (161.6) and the third-fewest yards per attempt (6.3) When considering the run-heavy playbook of the Minnesota offense, there could simply not be enough volume in the passing game to feel confident with Cousins in your […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

It has taken a bit for the rookie wideout to catch on with the Lions, but St. Brown is finally starting to get his chance to shine in this offense. After just six receptions over the first three games, he has seen an uptick in targets (16) and receptions (13) in the last two games. […]

Nelson Agholor Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Agholor has been a fantasy flop since signing with Bill Belichick’s squad. After coming off the best year of his career in 2020 (48-896-8) and a good game in Week 1, Agholor has given his fantasy managers 11 receptions for 125 yards and no touchdowns over his last four games. This is the Agholor fantasy […]

Darrel Williams Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Williams was the other popular pickup on the waiver wire this week, but he could be in for a disappointing game in Week 6. The Chiefs take on the Washington Football Team who are one of the worst defenses against the pass through the first five games of the season, as they have given up […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

I know his name is a mouthful, but it might be worth mentioning Stevenson’s name to the commissioner of your fantasy league if you have Harris on your roster and he ducks out on you before the Pats play Sunday afternoon. Brandon Bolden has taken over the James White role on third downs as the primary pass-catcher out of […]

Frederik Andersen Takes On Predators Saturday Night

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will go for his second win of the year on Saturday against Nashville. The former Maple Leaf kicked off his career in Raleigh with a 6-3 victory over the Islanders on Thursday. He gave up a pair of goals early on but was solid in general during a 25-save effort. […]

Andrei Vasilevskiy Faces Washington On Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy will take on Washington on Saturday in his third start of the season. Things have started ugly for the Russian, as he's so far registered a 4.50 goals-against average and a .845 save percentage in two appearances. Tampa dropped the season opener 6-2 against Pittsburgh and barely snuck past […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Gets A Special Matchup On Saturday

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, looking for his first win of the season. The veteran netminder started life in Chi-Town with a 32-save performance in a 4-2 loss against Colorado on Wednesday. Fleury, who won three Stanley Cups as a member of the Penguins, takes on Pittsburgh for […]

Jaroslav Halak Makes His Canucks Debut

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jaroslav Halak is set for his team debut in Saturday's meeting with Detroit. The well-traveled veteran will start a quest for 300 career wins, needing 19 more to reach the milestone. He picked up nine victories in 19 appearances last season for Boston, recording a 2.53 goals-against average with a .905 save […]

Jeremy Swayman Opens Season Versus Dallas

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman will face the Dallas Stars in the team's season opener on Saturday. It's a start of a new era in Boston, with Tuukka Rask gone and Swayman sharing the crease with former Sabre Linus Ullmark. Swayman made a big impression in the league last season, going 7-3-0 in 10 games […]

David Perron Could Play In Season Opener

St. Louis Blues winger David Perron (undisclosed) could be in the lineup for Saturday's season opener against Colorado, despite missing Friday's practice. He was on the ice at the morning skate and is officially a game-time decision for the clash. The veteran winger led the Blues with 58 points in 56 games last season and […]

Brady Tkachuk Set To Miss The Weekend

Ottawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk remains out of the lineup on Saturday against Toronto and isn't expected to play in Sunday's contest versus Dallas either. The 22-year-old was finally signed to a contract this week, but he missed the preseason and needs time to get game-ready. Senators head coach DJ Smith believes that Tkachuk's […]

Bryan Rust Gets Placed On Injured Reserve

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Bryan Rust (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday retroactive to Oct. 14 when he got hurt in a 5-4 overtime loss to Florida. The Penguins simply can't say away from injuries, but there might also be some good news on the horizon as Zach Aston-Reese has come off the COVID-19 […]

John Klingberg Misses Out On Saturday

Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg (lower body) is unavailable for Saturday's visit to Boston. The 29-year-old rearguard hurt his left leg early in the team's season opener on Thursday against the Rangers and ended up exiting the game after trying to battle through the injury. Klingberg is listed day-to-day and the Stars are hopeful that […]

Ryan Strome Misses Saturday's Action Due To COVID Protocols

New York Rangers forward Ryan Strome will be sidelined for Saturday's meeting with the Canadiens after he was added to the COVID-19 list. The 28-year-old is also set to miss Monday's clash with Toronto. His absence will give a big opportunity to Filip Chytil, who gets a chance to skate as the second-line center alongside […]

Jack Johnson Joins Nathan MacKinnon On COVID-19 List

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Jack Johnson was added to the COVID-19 protocols list and won't play on Saturday against St. Louis. He's the second Colorado player on the list after Nathan MacKinnon tested positive for the virus earlier in the week. The team hoped to get their star centerman back for Saturday's clash but he remains […]

Carson Wentz - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

I have a lot of respect for one of Pat McAfee’s favorite quarterbacks. Wentz works his butt off to make plays with his sprained ankles and his arm, and although he might put himself in harm’s way as often as Travis Pastrana and could suffer another season-ending injury sooner rather than later. Using him now […]

Petr Mrazek Continues To Nurse A Groin Problem

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) isn't game-ready and will miss Saturday's rematch with Ottawa. The Czech netminder got hurt in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators and was replaced by Jack Campbell. It wasn't a great team debut for Mrazek as he gave up three goals on 26 shots. Campbell was flawless with […]
