Gavin Lux Sitting With Neck Injury On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Gavin Lux (neck) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres. Cody Bellinger is getting the start in center field and batting eighth in the game. Lux suffered a neck injury while attempting to run down a fly ball in Wednesday's game. He is […]

Giants Activate Darin Ruf And Johnny Cueto

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder/first baseman Darin Ruf (oblique) and starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) from the injured list on Thursday. Ruf is starting in left field and batting second in Thursday's game against Madison Bumgarner and the Arizona Diamondbacks. He should see a good amount of playing time over the last stretch of […]

Daniel Lynch Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Kansas City Royals placed starting pitcher Daniel Lynch (hand) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right hand contusion. Lynch suffered the injury during his start against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. He was hit in the hand by a comebacker off the bat of Indians catcher Austin Hedges. Lynch is done […]

Nico Hoerner Done For The Year

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner has decided to end his season prematurely, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. He was recently activated from the injured list on September 19 after being sidelined since late July due to a right oblique strain. Across just 44 games this season, he slashed .302/.382/.369 with no home runs and five […]

Luke Voit Placed On Injured List

The New York Yankees have placed first baseman Luke Voit (knee) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, according to the team. Voit experienced left knee inflammation during Wednesday's game and was taken out early as a precaution. He was expected to avoid an IL stint, which clearly isn't the case. Voit has had a disappointing […]

Amed Rosario Taking A Seat Thursday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Amed Rosario is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals, according to MLB.com. Rosario is having one of his better offensive campaigns to date, slashing .282/.318/.411 with 11 HRs, 74 runs, and 12 SBs. Yu Chang will start at short and bat fifth in his place. […]

Eric Haase Getting A Rest Thursday

Detroit Tigers catcher/outfielder Eric Haase is absent from Thursday's lineup for the matchup against the Minnesota Twins, according to MLB.com. Haase has been one of the better power-hitting catchers this season with 22 HRs and a .230/.285/.463 slash line over 95 games. He's been in a rut recently, though, posting a .604 OPS in September. […]

Cowboys Defense Working Their Way To Relevance

The Dallas Cowboys defense was rated poorly before the season, but they've performed well through the first three weeks and may be a top-15 fantasy option in Week 4. The Cowboys defense has finished as an overall top-12 defense (11, 12, 5) in every game this season, and has recorded six interceptions on the season. […]

Greg Zuerlein A Starting Option In Week 4

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein makes for a decent fantasy option in Week 4. The Cowboys offense has shown elite upside through the first three weeks of the season and should give Zuerlein plenty of chances to kick. Through three weeks, he's finished as a top-10 fantasy kicker twice, making five field goals and nine […]

Joey Gallo Absent From Thursday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo (arm) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays. Gallo injured his right forearm Wednesday night after getting hit by a pitch, and will get the day off. However, he's feeling better and is day-to-day, according to Marly Rivera of ESPN. Gallo's having […]

Blake Jarwin Falling Behind Quickly

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin watched as Dalton Schultz had a huge Week 3 to end the week as the overall TE1. Meanwhile, Jarwin caught two passes for 14 yards, only seeing those two targets. The good news is that Jarwin and Schultz actually ended up running the exact same number of passing routes, […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Out Of Thursday's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet, he is still experiencing hand soreness and is day-to-day. Gurriel Jr. previously missed three games recently after injuring his hand during a play in the outfield. He's […]

Dalton Schultz Looks To Keep The Momentum Going

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz had an enormous game in Week 3, ending up as the overall fantasy TE1. He caught six passes on seven targets, gaining 80 yards and scoring two touchdowns. After the first two weeks, this looked like an offense that would not be able to support a fantasy starter at […]

Cedrick Wilson Not A Great Option Despite A Great Offense

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson caught the only touchdown by a Cowboys wide receiver in Week 3, but he remains off the fantasy radar in most formats anyway. Wilson split time with Noah Brown, who is almost exclusively a blocking wide receiver/tight end hybrid. Wilson has been filling in while Michael Gallup (calf) recovers, […]

CeeDee Lamb Always A Worthwhile Fantasy Starter

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is always a strong starting option in fantasy lineups even against tough defenses. Week 4 will see the Cowboys take on a strong Carolina Panthers defense that has limited opposing teams to just 146 passing yards per game. Still, Lamb should be peppered with targets from quarterback Dak Prescott […]

Tony Pollard Developing Value On His Own

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has clearly worked his way into his own fantasy value this season. Previously seen as a high-upside backup, Pollard has put up FLEX numbers or better every week so far this season, including an overall RB4 performance in Week 2. Week 4 gives the Cowboys their toughest challenge yet, […]

Ezekiel Elliott Looks To Keep His Arrow Pointing Up

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was disappointing in Week 1 and then got outplayed by his backup Tony Pollard in Week 2, but has still ended up as the fantasy RB3 over the past two weeks, rushing for 166 yards and three touchdowns. While he hasn't had the every down, full-time role those who […]

Dak Prescott Takes On A Tough Defense In Week 4

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will face off against a tough Carolina Panthers defense in Week 4. Prescott threw 58 passes in Week 1, then combined for just 54 passes in Weeks 2 and 3. He was very good again in Week 3 after letting the running game take the wheel for Week 2. Prescott […]

Andy Dalton Limited In Practice

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. After one of the worst quarterback performances in recent memory by Dalton's backup, rookie Justin Fields, it appears that the Bears certainly favor the veteran over the rookie. Head coach Matt Nagy did not appear to adapt his offensive scheme […]

Eagles Defense Not Recommended In Week 4 Lineups

The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a strong fantasy option in Week 4 and likely won't be for at least a few more weeks. The Eagles were trounced by the Cowboys in Week 3, allowing 35 points and 380 yards. They were able to record four sacks and score a defensive touchdown, which masked some […]

Josh Jacobs Runs Routes In Practice

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (toe) ran routes in practice on Thursday. The chief concern for Jacobs during draft season centered around running back Kenyan Drake, yet even in Jacobs' absence, Drake has been a non factor. Once Jacobs is 100 percent healthy, he profiles as a low-level RB1 or a high-level RB2, […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 10/3 - PrizePicks

Hello once again everyone!  We hit the Talladega Superspeedway one last time from Talladega Motor Speedway this week and another edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Now, that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site […]

Jake Elliott Not A Week 4 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is not a Week 4 fantasy starting option. Elliott did not even attempt a field goal against the Cowboys in Week 3, and has only made two field goals on three tries this season. He's a solid enough kicker on the field, but he is one of the lower volume […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s Injury Is Short-Term

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) missed Thursday's practice, but he shouldn't miss much more time. Still, the speedster may miss the against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4, but he presumably won't miss any more time beyond that. Fantasy managers shouldn't have been starting Valdes-Scantling in standard leagues anyways, but this injury […]

Zach Ertz Looks To Build On A Strong Performance

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will look to build on his strong Week 3 performance when the Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. In the loss against the Cowboys, Ertz saw an 18% target share, seeing seven passes thrown his way and scoring a touchdown. It was the best game […]

Dallas Goedert Looks To Regain The Front Seat In Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert took a noticeable back seat to veteran Zach Ertz in Week 3's complete offensive mess of a game against the Dallas Cowboys. As expected once Ertz stayed on the team, the two tight ends have essentially been cannibalizing one another's fantasy points. While neither can be trusted as a […]

Quez Watkins Struggling To Stand Out

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins has been solid with his opportunities so far this season, but has struggled to stand out. In Week 3, he was on the field for 66% of the offensive snaps the Eagles played, but ended up being targeted just twice. He's drawn seven targets through the first three weeks […]

Amari Cooper Is Feeling Better

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs) said he was "feeling better" on Thursday. After a disappointing week in which the Cowboys scored 41 points and Cooper came away with just three catches, speculation swirled regarding Cooper's health. The superstar suffered a rib injury which can be played through, but may hinder a player's performance. […]

Jalen Reagor Not An Exciting Option In Week 4 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor is a low-end flex play, at best, in Week 4 fantasy lineups. Reagor actually led the Eagles in targets against the Cowboys in Week 3, but that was a poorly played and poorly called offensive performance that the team certainly hopes not to repeat. Reagor still hasn't shown anything […]

DeVonta Smith Has A Big Week 4 Ahead

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith has a big Week 4 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of him. Smith had a strong NFL debut in Week 1, catching a touchdown and putting up 71 yards. Since then though, he's only gained a total of 44 yards in two games. He's still been […]
