Buccaneers Defense A Great Start Against Miami

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense is a great start in Week 5 against Miami. The unit has compiled seven sacks, five picks, and two forced fumbles on the season. Though the Bucs' defense is quite thin in the secondary, with injuries ravaging the unit, Miami will be starting Jacoby Brissett who only has two touchdowns […]

Cameron Brate - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate shouldn't be considered anything more than a TE2 or backup in deeper leagues this week. The TE will take on a bigger role once again this week with Rob Gronkowski (ribs) out. Brate did see six targets last week but managed only two receptions for 29 yards. The […]

Antonio Brown - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is a worthy fantasy play in Week 5. The 33-year-old saw an incredible 11 targets last week and has seen at least seven in two of three games played. He also posted 121 yards in Week 1 and 63 last week. The explosiveness is still there and Brown […]

Joe Mixon To Play "In Some Capacity" In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) will play during Sunday's matchup against the Packers. The former Oklahoma Sooner tweaked his ankle during the Thursday Night Football win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, so his status against Green Bay had been in question ever since. However, it's possible he doesn't see a full workload, with NFL […]

Damien Harris - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Harris has become somewhat of a forgotten man coming off the heels of two stinkers against some of the top defenses in the league. With only 10 carries combined over the last two weeks, his advanced analytics have taken a beating. He's fallen outside the top 20 across all major categories and will be looking […]

Chris Godwin - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is a low-end WR1 play against the Dolphins. Godwin's production has dipped off since posting over 100 yards in Week 1, but it's been consistent nonetheless. The WR has seen at least five targets in the last three games while posting at least 62 yards in two of […]

Mike Evans - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a solid starting play in Week 5. After a Week 1 dud, Evans has shown out, posting at least 75 yards in the last three games, including one 106-yard performance. He also has nine targets in the last three games. As one of Tampa's top pass-catching options, […]

Ronald Jones II - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II should remain benched or on waivers in Week 5. Through four games, the back has managed 21 carries for 77 yards. Last week, he had six carries for 25 yards while Leonard Fournette had 20 carries for 92 yards. It's becoming clear that Fournette is the RB1 […]

Leonard Fournette - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is a high RB2 against Miami. Fournette posted his best numbers of the season last week against the Patriots, 20 carries for 92 yards and three receptions for 47 yards on five targets. The 26-year-old has seemingly emerged as the RB1 of the team over Ronald Jones II […]

Tom Brady - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a QB1 against the Dolphins in Week 5. Brady has been terrific this season but has certainly slowed down in the past couple of weeks. Last week, the QB managed 269 yards in the anticipated matchup against his former team New England. Nevertheless, Brady has 10 touchdowns to […]

Brandon Crawford Hits Insurance Homer Friday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford continued his power surge in Friday's 4-0 NLDS Game 1 win over the Dodgers, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run. Crawford provided an insurance run for the Giants in the eighth inning, launching an Alex Vesia off-speed pitch into the Dodgers' bullpen to increase the lead to four. […]

Kris Bryant Collects Three Hits In NLDS Game 1

San Francisco Giants corner infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant wasted no time in making an impact in his first post-season game with his new team, going 3-for-3 with two singles and a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers. Bryant lined a seventh-inning, full-count Walker Buehler fastball over the left-field wall to give the […]

Buster Posey Acts As Spark Plug In NLDS Game 1

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey got the party started in Friday's 4-0 NLDS Game 1 win over the Dodgers, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a strikeout. Posey launched a first-inning Walker Buehler offering over the right-field wall to put the Giants on the board first. The veteran has had plenty of […]

Logan Webb Pitches Gem In Friday Win

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb turned in a fantastic start Friday, earning the win in a 4-0 NLDS Game 1 against the Dodgers. The 24-year-old did not shy away from the spotlight, pitching 7 2/3 scoreless innings with five hits, no walks, and 10 strikeouts. Webb performance joined Tim Lincecum and Madison Bumgarner […]

Colin White Out For 4-6 Months Due To Injury

Ottawa Senators forward Colin White will be sidelined for the next 4-6 months after suffering a dislocated shoulder in his team's preseason contest on Monday. White is expected to get surgery to fix the shoulder and will be out until at least February. The 24-year-old, who the Sens inked to a six-year, $28.5 million contract […]

Pavel Francouz To Miss 3-4 Weeks With Injury

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz will be out for 3-4 weeks after sustaining a lower-body injury in a preseason game versus the Vegas Golden Knights earlier in the week. This news comes as a tough blow for Francouz, who missed the entire 2020-2021 campaign due to injury. The 31-year-old is expected to back up newly […]

Erik Jones Worth a Glance at Charlotte ROVAL

Erik Jones is a dicey choice. Let's be honest. However, last year's run in the Joe Gibbs Racing car opened some eyes and he showed a keen ability to negotiate traffic. That resulted in a third-place finish. Even in a lesser Richard Petty Motorsports car, Jones does start 17th on Sunday and has the possibility […]

Alex Ovechkin Departs Preseason Game With Injury

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin was forced to leave his team's preseason contest versus the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday with a lower-body injury. Ovechkin departed just 9:40 into the tilt after an awkward hit on Flyers forward Travis Konecny. The 36-year-old will reportedly get re-evaluated on Saturday and should be considered day-to-day for now. Ovechkin […]

Chris Buescher Risky Choice at Charlotte ROVAL

Chris Buescher starts 16th on Sunday at the Charlotte ROVAL. The Roush Fenway Racing driver has finished in the top 20 in all three races on this track. Granted those are 17th, 18th, and 20th place results but the bottom line is the bottom line. That consistency for the No. 17 car is helpful and […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (10/9/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Just two games tonight as the American League will take the day off. Atlanta will look to even the series with Milwaukee after the Brew Crew narrowly escaped with a 2-1 win in Game 1, while the Giants hold a 1-0 series lead over the Dodgers after Logan Webb's incredible playoff debut. It's Fried-Woodruff and […]

Matt DiBenedetto Carries DFS Upside at Charlotte

Matt DiBenedetto has been right around the top ten in all three appearances at Charlotte. The Wood Brothers Racing driver is motivated to find a spot to race on the NASCAR circuit in 2022. Consider in 2019 and 2020, DiBenedetto finished 13th and 11th on the ROVAL. Expect the No. 21 to have some good […]

Blake Coleman Suspended One Game

Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman has been banned for one preseason and one regular season contest following a boarding penalty in his team's preseason game on Wednesday night. The 29-year-old, who is coming off two consecutive Stanley Cup Championships with the Lightning, inked a six-year, $29.4 million ($4.9 mil AAV) with Calgary over the summer. […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Has Potential at Charlotte on Sunday

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can get into the top 20 and maybe even top 10 to 15 on Sunday at Charlotte. He enjoyed a +21 place differential last year and +4 the year before that. The JTG-Daugherty Racing driver does start 18th on Sunday which could cut into that positive number a bit. However, the No. […]

Saquon Barkley - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Barkley is still working his way back from a season-ending knee injury from the 2020 campaign. While he hasn't missed a game, he isn't the same player who was once considered a top-three option in fantasy drafts. Fortunately, he appears to be trending in the right direction and continues to ramp up his activities. The […]

Aleksander Barkov Inks Eight-Year Contract Extension

The Florida Panthers signed franchise center Aleksander Barkov to an eight-year, $80 million ($10 million average annual value) contract extension on Friday. The 26-year-old, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2021-2022 season, will now remain a Panther through the 2029-2030 campaign. Barkov has established himself as one […]

Tyler Reddick Worth a Look at Charlotte on Sunday

Tyler Reddick is a young and at times aggressive driver. However, on the Charlotte ROVAL, he knew when to pick his spots and finished 12th in his only appearance. There is a lot to risk for Sunday, however. For one, he starts 29th. The Richard Childress Racing driver will have to pass a ton of […]

Bubba Wallace One to Stay Away From at Charlotte

Bubba Wallace won the rain-shortened race at Talladega last week with some brilliant maneuvering and holding off the field just long enough as they say. It was his first career NASCAR top-level victory. The Charlotte ROVAL is a different reality however as the 23XI Racing driver has finished 21st or worse in all three appearances. […]

Austin Dillon Not Expected Much on Sunday at Charlotte

Austin Dillon has had some awful luck at the Charlotte ROVAL but again starts outside the top ten on Sunday (14th this time). The Richard Childress Racing driver may have some speed and downforce early but the later laps will likely see him fade. That has been a sort of pattern lately for Dillon. At […]

Carey Price Enters Player Assistance Program

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will be out indefinitely after voluntarily entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program on Thursday. The 34-year-old was already set to miss the start of the season while still recovering from off-season knee surgery. Price posted a 12-7-5 record to go along with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .901 save […]
