DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 40: Ladd vs. Dumont

Gotta be happy about the love the UFC has shown to women in the past half a month, putting four girls in the headliner of their two (past and upcoming) latest fight cards. It was Dern and Rodriguez in UFC Vegas 39 last weekend, and it's now Ladd and Dumont after a series of COVID/injury-related […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread 10/14 And Week 6 Results

What a week, huh? The Red River Shootout was another wild one. Several games came down to the last minute or less. Number one goes down. What more can you ask for? There may have only been 51 games, but there were some great ones out there. Well, unless you're Maryland. We do have one […]

Cleveland Browns Defense A Top-12 Option In Week 6

The Cleveland Browns defense is coming off a rough road performance against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5 in which they allowed 47 points. Cleveland will look to regroup ahead of a home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. Arizona has a dangerous offense but they haven't been a stay-away matchup for […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/14/21): MLB DFS Lineups

And then there were two. Two left playing anyway. The Dodgers and Giants fittingly are the only series that went all five games, so that is our one game for the night. We shift into showdown mode for tonight's tilt at Oracle Park. For showdown mode, we pick one captain who costs 1.5x his normal […]

Chase McLaughlin - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin has emerged as a reliable fantasy kicker in 2021. The veteran has been perfect through five games, making all nine of his field goals and going 13-for-13 on his extra points. McLaughlin will take on the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 6 as he looks to keep his excellent […]

Austin Hooper - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper may have been surpassed by David Njoku in his team's offense, despite opening the year as the team's starter. In Week 5, Hooper was held without a catch while playing on 72% of the snaps while Njoku exploded for 149 yards and a touchdown. Things might not get much […]

Odell Beckham Jr. - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has turned in two straight pedestrian outings, having caught just four passes for 47 yards over that span. He will look to change his fortunes in Week 6 as he takes on the Arizona Cardinals at home. Arizona represents a favorable matchup for Beckham as they are allowing […]

Baker Mayfield - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off of his most productive game of the season in which he threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns. Mayfield will look to keep it going at home against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. Arizona has been tough against the pass this season as they are allowing […]

Germain Ifedi Goes On Injured Reserve

The Chicago Bears placed right tackle Germain Ifedi (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, but head coach Matt Nagy said that he will be back this season. Ifedi went down in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and will now miss at least the next three games. Elijah Wilkinson replaced Ifedi after […]

Bryan Bulaga Has Core Muscle Surgery

Los Angeles Chargers right tackle Bryan Bulaga underwent core muscle surgery on Tuesday. He will remain on Injured Reserve, and his return to play this year remains undetermined. Bulaga hurt himself in the season-opening win over the Washington Football Team and hasn't played since. The Chargers remains hopeful that the 32-year-old right tackle will be […]

Chandler Jones Not Expected To Play Sunday

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that linebacker Chandler Jones has some COVID-19 symptoms and isn't expected to play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. Jones was placed on the league's COVID-19 list on Tuesday after testing positive for the virus. Arizona's defense ranks third in overall fantasy points through the first five […]

Taylor Decker Returns To Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) returned to practice on Wednesday, and the Lions now have 21 days to activate him from Injured Reserve to the active roster. Decker, the team's starting left tackle when healthy, has yet to play this season. His injury has caused the Lions to shift rookie first-rounder Penei Sewell […]

Marcus Johansson Goes On Injured Reserve

Seattle Kraken forward Marcus Johansson (lower body) was added to Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he got hurt in the team's first-ever regular-season game on Tuesday. Johansson went pointless in a 4-3 loss to Vegas but had a decent showing in 16:13 of ice time, firing off one shot and finishing with a plus-one rating […]

Jacoby Brissett Limited Ahead Of Week 6

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday after getting injured in the Week 5 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brissett could be fine for this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, but the Dolphins are hoping that Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) will be able to return from […]

Peyton Barber On Track To Return Against Denver

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber (toe) returned to a full practice after missing the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears with a minor case of turf toe. Barber was the better fantasy back over pass-catching Kenyan Drake when Josh Jacobs missed a few games early on, but Jacobs has moved past his […]

Sammy Watkins Absent From Practice On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) missed practice on Wednesday after being forced from the Monday night game against the Indianapolis Colts early. The veteran pass-catcher will probably need to get in some sort of practice later this week to have a shot at playing in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie […]

Devin Shore, Zack Kassian Out On Wednesday

Edmonton Oilers forwards Devin Shore (undisclosed) and Zack Kassian (head) won't be able to help the team in Wednesday's season opener against Vancouver. Shore picked up an injury in Tuesday's practice and Kassian has been nursing a head trauma since last Thursday's preseason outing. Both should be considered as day-to-day. Oilers head coach Dave Tippett […]

D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Remain Limited

Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (hip) were limited practice participants on Wednesday to begin the week. Swift and Williams continue to be limited but haven't missed any game time and should be good to go in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, barring any setbacks. Without many options to go […]

Mike Smith Gets The Nod On Wednesday

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will get the nod for the team's season opener on Wednesday against Vancouver. The veteran netminder will look to build on a very strong campaign. He went 21-6-2 last season with a 2.31 goals-against average, a .923 save percentage and three shutouts, making Mikko Koskinen's numbers look silly. With Brock […]

Melvin Gordon III Misses Practice With Hip Ailment

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a new hip injury. Gordon played through leg and rib issues the last two weeks and saw single-digit carries (nine each) in the last two games while continuing to split the touches and snaps almost dead even with rookie […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Looks To Impress Against Avalanche

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is set to face the Colorado Avalanche in Wednesday's season opener. The Flower is the first goalie since Dominik Hasek to be traded as the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and he'll surely have a point to prove in Chi-Town. He gets a chance to impress straight away with Colorado rated […]

Ben Roethlisberger Misses Another Wednesday Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (hip, pectoral) missed yet another Wednesday practice. It wouldn't be a surprise if Roethlisberger, likely in his final season, is rested throughout the year on Wednesdays. Pittsburgh's offense looked much better in the Week 5 win over the Denver Broncos when Big Ben threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns. […]

Evan Engram - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is considered a low-end TE2 against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. Giants starting QB Daniel Jones (concussion) is on track to play and could return to action for Sunday's game against the Rams. Engram averages 6.2 air yards per target and owns 15% of the team's […]

Chase Claypool, James Washington Limited In Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Chase Claypool (hamstring) and James Washington (groin) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Claypool missed Week 4 but returned to catch five of his six targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Denver Broncos. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) now done for the year, […]

Darcy Kuemper Starts Life In Colorado Versus Chicago

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Darcy Kuemper will take on the Chicago Blackhawks in the season opener on Wednesday. The former Coyote will make his team debut, hoping to get the same support Philipp Grubauer got from the team during his excellent spell in the Avalanche crease. Kuemper won only 10 of 27 outings last season, but […]

D.K. Metcalf Still Limited By Foot Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) put in another limited practice on Wednesday. Metcalf continues to be a limited participant in practices, but he has yet to miss a game and has scored four times in the last three weeks and five times through the first five weeks. The physical specimen caught all five […]
