Laviska Shenault Jr. Lacks Upside In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. projects as a low-upside option in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. While Shenault has been targeted 17 times in 2021, he's been limited to an extremely low aDOT role, only catching passes near the line of scrimmage. The young wideout also suffered a shoulder injury in […]

Elijah Mitchell Doubtful For Sunday Night

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) has been listed as doubtful to play on Sunday night in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. Mitchell returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days of practice, but the Niners don't sound optimistic that he'll be ready this weekend. […]

Texans Defense Allows 24 Points In Loss

The Houston Texans defense didn't produce much from a fantasy standpoint in Thursday's loss to the Panthers. Houston recorded three sacks of Sam Darnold but allowed over 400 yards of total offense along with 24 points. The Texans don't have many big-time playmakers on defense, making them a low-end streaming option at best most weeks.

Zane Gonzalez Has Solid Night In Victory

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez nailed a field-goal attempt and all three extra points in Thursday's win over the Texans. Gonzalez continued his solid start to the season, as he has now made 3 of 4 field goals and 5 of 6 extra points. The veteran kicker was last seen as an elite kicking option […]

Panthers Defense Holds Houston To Nine Points

The Carolina Panthers defense put together another strong effort in Thursday's win over the Texans. Carolina recorded four sacks while holding the Texans to just 193 total yards and nine points. Shaq Thompson and Donte Jackson were the leading tacklers, with Haason Reddick recording 1.5 sacks. Unfortunately, the defense lost promising rookie corner Jaycee Horn […]

Robbie Lawler Set To Take Center Stage Saturday

It's not often a rematch 17 years in the making is worth seeing, but when Robbie Lawler (28-15) enters the Octagon to face Nick Diaz on Saturday, all eyes will be on these two fighters as they step onto center stage. The 39-year-old Lawler may be on the back end of his career, but for […]

Aledmys Diaz Hoping Home Run Snaps Slump

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Aledmys Diaz has a few more games left in the regular season to get locked back in offensively.

Marvin Jones Jr. A Viable WR3 In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is a quality WR3 play this week against the Arizona Cardinals.

Lawrence will likely be airing it out […]

Curtis Blaydes Looking To Ascend The Heavyweight Ranks

The lone heavyweight bout on the main card of UFC 266 this Saturday will feature Curtis Blaydes (14-3) as he looks to rebound from his last outing, which was a loss that snapped his four-fight winning streak.

Jake Meyers Hitting .176 In September

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers will need to turn his offense around if he hopes to be a factor in the Astros postseason plans. Meyers burst on the scene in August, slashing .316/.338/.500 with 16 runs batted in but has fallen off the map since. Meyers is slashing only .176/.288/.333 in the month of September […]

D.J. Chark Jr. A Volatile WR4 Against Arizona

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is an intriguing but risky option in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. After dominating targets in Week 1, Chark was a non-factor last week against the Denver Broncos, so the other athletic wideout may be hard to handicap going forward. One thing is certain, rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence […]

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert has been placed on the COVID list, putting his availability for the team's game against the Ravens in question. Seibert is the fifth kicker the Lions have had on their roster since the beginning of training camp and is 2-for-3 on the season. If Seibert is unable to play, the […]

Robby Anderson To Be More Involved In Offense?

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson put up a dud on Thursday night for fantasy managers, finishing with just one catch for eight yards. Head coach Matt Rhule said on Friday that the offense "has to find a way to get the ball to Anderson more, he's been open." Sam Darnold attempted 34 passes against […]

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is hoping to see his opportunities increase Week 3 against the Browns.

Can Greg Joseph Bounce Back?

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph will have a chance to put his Week 2 performance behind him this Sunday against the Seahawks.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) has no injury designation heading into Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons after being questionable before each of the first two games of the season.

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby could struggle to post a strong fantasy line Week 3 against the 49ers.

The Packers will go up against a 49ers team that has allowed only two field goal attempts through […]

Packers Defense Has Tough Week 3 Test

The Green Bay Packers defense will have a stiff matchup Week 3 against the 49ers on Sunday Night Football.

Vikings Defense Tasked With Stopping Russell Wilson

The Minnesota Vikings defense will try and stop Russell Wilson and the Seahawks in Week 3.
