Leonard Fournette An RB3 Against Los Angeles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is an RB3 option in Week 3. Fournette is starting to stand out as the top back for the Bucs over Ronald Jones II. He now has 20 carries for 84 yards and nine receptions for 51 yards on 11 targets in two games. In terms of rushing […]

Ty Johnson Won't Be Trustworthy

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson actually saw an increase in snaps during the Week 2 loss. Johnson carried the ball 12 times for 50 yards on the ground, so not an awful game from him. It appears he might've surpassed Tevin Coleman on the depth chart, but who knows with the Jets. They […]

Tom Brady A Low-End QB1 Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a low-end QB1 against the Rams this week. Brady has been phenomenal to start the season, throwing for 655 yards, nine touchdowns, and two picks in just two games. The 44-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down and this week's contest against Los Angeles could likely be […]

DeAndre Hopkins Will Be A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) will be a game-time decision on Sunday for the Week 3 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hopkins missed a third straight day of practice on Friday, and it's unclear if the Cardinals are comfortable rolling him out there after missing an entire […]

Tevin Coleman Unlikely To Succeed In Week 3

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman was penciled in as the No. 1 back for this offense heading into the season. However, he has not exceeded 24 yards on the ground in either contest. His chances in New York are quickly running out with younger and more promising options behind him. Coleman saw five […]

Trey Burton To Visit With Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer confirmed that tight end Trey Burton has a visit scheduled with the team. Burton never landed with a team after becoming an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. In 13 games (four starts) for the Indianapolis Colts in 2020, Burton had 28 catches on 47 targets for 250 yards […]

Zach Wilson Avoidable Versus Denver

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson came out strong during his NFL debut, but it came crashing down in Week 2. Wilson threw four interceptions in what was an ugly loss to the New England Patriots in his second career game. Right now, Wilson is giving fantasy managers mixed signals as we head into Week […]

A.J. Terrell Ruled Out Against Giants

Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell (concussion) has been ruled out for his team's Week 3 contest against the Giants. Terrell sustained a concussion during the Week 2 game against Tampa Bay, and was unable to suit up for practice on Wednesday or Thursday. The 2020 first-round pick had looked impressive through the first two weeks […]

Antonio Brown Unlikely To Play In Week 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who tested positive for COVID-19, is unlikely to rejoin the team in time to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Bruce Arians also said that pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul (hand, shoulder) and wide receiver Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) won't make the trip to Los Angeles […]

Denzel Mims Will Be A Game-Time Decision

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that wide receiver Denzel Mims will be a game-time decision in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. Mims was a healthy inactive in the Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots, and Saleh basically said the reason was that Mims doesn't contribute on special teams. The […]

Packers Want To Get Randall Cobb More Involved

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb has played just 27 of the team's 122 offensive snaps (22.13 percent) through the first two weeks of the season. Head coach Matt LaFleur said he's "got to do a better job of trying to get" Cobb more plays while calling him "an important part of our football […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Gaining Ground On Mike Davis?

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis was expected to see the lion's share of the carries in his first year with the team, but Cordarrelle Patterson has made a bigger impact through the first two weeks and deserves steady touches. AtlantaFalcons.com's Scott Bair thinks that Davis' workload will likely be higher than Patterson's over the […]

Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown Back At Practice Friday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) both returned to practice on Friday after sitting out on Thursday. Jackson was dealing with a stomach bug on Thursday, but he should be good to go for Week 3 against the Detroit Lions in an excellent matchup. Keep an eye on his […]

Russell Gage Ruled Out For Week 3

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) has been ruled out for the team's Week 3 contest against the Giants. Gage failed to practice Wednesday and Thursday and was not spotted at Friday's practice- so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for Sunday. Gage, who is considered week-to-week with an ankle injury that […]

WR1 or WR2? Worrying About Woods, Metcalf, Jefferson, and Aiyuk

What do Cooper Kupp, Tyler Lockett, Adam Thielen, and Deebo Samuel all have in common? According to preseason average draft position (ADP), they were all drafted as their respective teams' WR2. Robert Woods, DK Metcalf, Justin Jefferson, and Brandon Aiyuk were all viewed as surefire WR1s and taken ahead of these four guys. Not only […]

Carson Wentz Practicing Friday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) is practicing on Friday, which means that he is still in play to start in Week 3 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans on Sunday. As of Thursday, Wentz was unlikely to play after not practicing at all during the week, but his practice session on Friday at least gives […]

Christian McCaffrey Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is expected to miss a few weeks after straining his hamstring in the Thursday night win over the Houston Texans, according to sources. The Panthers continue to run tests on his hamstring, but they have no current plans to place him on Injured Reserve. Rookie Chuba Hubbard, who […]

Kyle Finnegan Earns Shaky Save Thursday

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan was credited with a save Thursday, but he almost blew it, giving up two runs on two hits with one strikeout in an inning of work. Finnegan now has 11 saves on the season, with all 11 coming in the last 30 games, but he's also given up multiple […]

Patrick Corbin Unscored Upon Thursday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin did not allow a run in Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, working himself out of several jams over his 6 2/3 innings. All told, he allowed four hits and four walks and struck out seven batters. Corbin improved his record to 9-15 with the win and now has […]

Nick Folk Remains On Streaming Radar

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk has made a team-record 33 consecutive field-goal attempts. He was brought in to replace kicker Quinn Nordin (abdominal), who has been placed on the Injured Reserve. They recently signed Folk, which means he'll likely be the kicker going forward. He has been reliable through the first two weeks, so […]

Juan Soto Carries Nats With Two Homers Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was once again a force on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds, going 3-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk. Soto now has 29 home runs on the year, and continues to set all sorts of records on a daily basis. He's slashing .381/.545/.713 with 18 home runs, 52 […]

Jonnu Smith Doesn't Have Much Upside Versus Saints

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith has yet to surpass 42 yards in each of the first two games this season. Both Smith and Hunter Henry were expected to be big targets in the red zone. However, neither player has a touchdown through two games. It's not going to get easier in Week 3 […]

Mitch Haniger Blasts 35th Homer

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger continued his excellent season Thursday, blasting his 35th home run of the year in a 6-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Haniger went 1-for-4 in the contest. He's enjoyed a strong September, slashing .250/.341/.500 with six homers in 80 at-bats, and he should continue to produce for fantasy managers in […]

Hunter Henry Unlikely To Impress In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was expected to be an impactful weapon in this offense. Thus far, Henry has not exceeded three receptions or surpassed 45 yards in a single game. He has hauled in five of his seven targets, but hasn't been able to do much with them. That's unlikely going to […]

Luis Torrens Delivers Two-Run Pinch-Hit Homer

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens appeared as a pinch-hitter in Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics and delivered a two-run home run off relief pitcher Jake Diekman. It was Torrens' 15th long ball of the year in 313 at-bats. Torrens has been swinging the bat well lately, slashing .350/.372/.475 in his last 40 at-bats across […]

Cal Raleigh Hits Two-Run Shot

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh went deep Thursday, knocking a two-run home run off Oakland Athletics pitcher James Kaprielian in the fifth inning of a 6-5 victory. Raleigh also doubled in four at-bats. He now has two career home runs to his name in 130 at-bats and has plenty of future fantasy potential, but with […]

Jakobi Meyers A Borderline WR3 Versus Saints

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers appears to be one of rookie quarterback Mac Jones' favorite targets. Last week, Meyers was tied with running back James White for the team lead in targets with six. It's assumed that the Patriots will continue throwing his way against a tough running defense in the New Orleans Saints […]
