Bengals Claim Tre Flowers Off Waivers

The Cincinnati Bengals claimed cornerback Tre Flowers off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. Flowers requested his release after being demoted from a starting role early this season in Seattle. The former fifth-round pick in 2018 will provide valuable depth and experience for the Bengals secondary. Flowers had 212 tackles (172 solo), three interceptions, […]

Davis Mills - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills gets a good matchup against the Colts in Week 6. Mills showcased just how boom-or-bust his fantasy profile is over the last two weeks, throwing four interceptions against the Bills in Week 4, then following it up with an impressive, 312-yard, three-touchdown day against the Patriots. The rookie hadn't exceeded […]

Braden Holtby Starts Season For Dallas

Dallas Stars goaltender Braden Holtby will guard the crease as the team opens the season on Thursday against the Rangers. The 2018 Stanley Cup champion signed a one-year deal with the club in July to provide some goalie depth with Ben Bishop's status uncertain due to knee surgery, and it looks like he's impressed the […]

Deon Yelder Brought Up From Practice Squad

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers elevated tight end Deon Yelder from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Bucs already have Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard, but Yelder will provide some more depth at the position with Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) set to miss his third straight […]

T.Y. Hilton Contemplated Retirement

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (neck), who remains on Injured Reserve with a neck injury, said he contemplated retirement over the last few months. He decided against it after talking with former quarterback Andrew Luck, and Hilton has returned to practice the last few days. However, the 31-year-old pass-catcher has pumped the brakes on […]

Brady Tkachuk Gets $57.5 Million Contract From Ottawa

Ottawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk signed a seven-year, $57.5 million extension with the club ahead of Thursday's season opener against Toronto. However, he won't be in the lineup for the game. Tkachuk isn't among the most prolific forwards in the league, but he's become a real hit among fantasy managers with his outstanding hits […]

Damien Harris Back At Practice

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. The Patriots announced that Harris' injury wasn't serious on Monday, so it's not a huge surprise that he's on track to play in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. But even if the 24-year-old plays this […]

Phil Kessel Ready For Season Opener

Arizona Coyotes right wing Phil Kessel (foot) is ready to play in the team's season opener on Thursday despite missing the preseason due to an injury. The veteran winger will take the ice for his 901st consecutive regular season game. Kessel's fantasy value has taken a big hit in recent years, but he did have […]

Allen Robinson II Absent Again Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Robinson is questionable to play this weekend against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, but a limited practice on Friday would put him on the right side of questionable. The 28-year-old has pretty much been an afterthought in […]

Mike Williams Not Practicing Again Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Williams is now looking very questionable for the Week 6 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. The No. 1 fantasy wideout through five weeks will need at least a limited practice on Friday to ease everyone's concerns about […]

Worlds Group Stage DFS Lineup Picks for 10/15/21 - FanDuel, DraftKings League Of Legends Daily Fantasy

Welcome back summoners, to a WORLDS EDITION article covering the six-game slate that involves only teams from Group A. It's the most wonderful time of the year, with the best teams in League of Legends squaring off in BO1's during the group stage, in hopes of advancing to the knockout stage to play some BO5's […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Both Upgraded Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Cook missed the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions, but it looks like he'll be back this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Mattison, meanwhile, returned to a limited practice after sitting out on Wednesday. Cook […]

Danny Amendola Limited Again At Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Amendola is theoretically on track to suit up in Week 6- though he also practiced in a limited fashion last week before ultimately being ruled out. Amendola still seems to be trending towards a return to action, though it will be […]

Thursday Night Football Starts & Sits: Bucs vs Eagles

I feel like we all need a quick breather after Week 5. Last week had monster fantasy games, devastating injuries, and dramatic finishes. And the best part, there’s no time to take a breather as we have a huge Thursday Night game this week. Last week, we had eight running backs rush for 100+ yards, […]

Melvin Gordon III Returning To Limited Practice

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) will return to a limited practice participant on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with a new hip ailment. Gordon had been dealing with ribs and leg injuries the last several weeks, but it doesn't look like his new hip injury […]

Jamaal Williams Downgraded Thursday

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (hip, illness) missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Williams is now dealing with an illness, but it doesn't appear related to COVID-19. As long as he gets in a limited practice on Friday, he should be fine to play in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. […]

Dan Arnold - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Dan Arnold is a high-end TE2 option against Miami in Week 6. The athletic tight end is on the rise after he led the Jaguars in receiving last week in just his second week with the team following a trade from Carolina. Additionally, the Dolphins present an unimposing matchup, as Miami […]

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Practicing In Full

Tennessee Titans wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) were both full participants in practice on Thursday. It's more notable for Jones, who has missed the last two games. He's now on track to play on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. Brown was able to return last week but caught just three […]

DeAndre Hopkins Out Again With Illness

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. It's concerning that Hopkins has missed two straight practices this week, but as long as he can return to practice Friday, he'll still have a good shot at playing in Week 6 against […]

Marvin Jones Jr. - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is a solid low-end WR3 against Miami in Week 6's London game. The Dolphins have been shredded for the fourth-most PPR points by opposing wideouts thus far in 2021, so Jones should be able to take advantage. After starting off strong, Jones has trailed off over the last […]

Adam Thielen Gets In Some Work Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (foot) ran some routes at the start of practice on Thursday before walking off for injury rehab. It doesn't sound like Thielen did much, but at least he was on the practice field for a little bit. Justin Jefferson (ankle) was limited and said he expects to play in […]

Jarvis Landry Not Expected To Be Activated For Week 6

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) took a step closer to returning from injury as he has been running under supervision this week. According to the Akron Beacon Journal, however, Landry is unlikely to be designated for return from the injured reserve ahead of his team's Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Landry […]

Khalil Herbert Could Have A Huge Role In Week 6

Chicago Bears rookie running back Khalil Herbert could be in line for heavy usage in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers after the Bears put Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. David Montgomery (knee) remains on Injured Reserve. Herbert, who had 18 carries for 75 yards in the Week 5 […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is an intriguing but confounding Week 6 fantasy option against the Miami Dolphins in London. On one hand, Miami has allowed opposing wideouts to score the fourth-most PPR points in the NFL, but on the other hand, Shenault was only targeted three times last week while catching just […]

Kareem Hunt, Nick Chubb Miss Thursday Practice

Cleveland Browns running backs Kareem Hunt (wrist, knee) and Nick Chubb (calf) both missed practice on Thursday, making it two days in a row that the star runners have not been able to take the field. Hunt was spotted working off to the side while Chubb was not seen at all on Thursday. The Browns […]

Bears Place Damien Williams On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed running back Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. The Bears are already without David Montgomery (knee), who is on Injured Reserve, so rookie Khalil Herbert is now in position to start in a dream matchup against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. It's unclear if Williams tested positive for […]

Carlos Hyde - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde shouldn't be a fantasy consideration in Week 6 despite facing a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the most PPR points in the NFL to opposing running backs. James Robinson has emerged as a dominant lead back over the last few weeks, rendering Hyde a mere change of pace […]

James Robinson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is a surefire RB1 in Week 6 against a Miami defense that has given up more fantasy points to opposing running backs than any other NFL team. Miami is allowing a whopping 33.2 PPR points per game to opposing backs, and the red-hot Robinson is primed to take advantage. […]

NFL DFS Strategy: 2021 DraftKings Scoring Analysis

We talk a lot about NFL DFS here at RotoBaller. It is a wildly popular game and in fact, it proves to be much more strategic and beatable than season-long fantasy football. By that I mean that the best players will win at a higher rate in DFS than the best players will win in […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 8: English Premier League

We're back following the international break and we're looking to make it six straight matchweeks of profit following a big game two weeks ago. We correctly picked Leeds to beat Watford on Saturday, although our prop bets all fell through. But Crystal Palace and Leicester City played out a 2-2 draw like we predicted and […]
