There are numerous high-upside bench stashes to prioritize on league waiver wires entering Week 3. Injuries are ramping up already, and players we expected would sit and develop are instead nearing roles that include opportunities to contribute within their respective offense. Whether a rookie or a veteran in a reasonable situation, please take advantage of […]

Chris Jones Expected To Play

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (wrist) is questionable but will suit up Sunday against the Chargers. Jones was limited in practice all week but should be out there for a big divisional contest against Los Angeles. His presence is great news for the Chiefs' defense, as he has racked up 32 sacks and […]

Jose Suarez Labors In Friday's Start

Los Angeles Angels left-hander Jose Suarez (7-8) struggled through five innings against the Seattle Mariners during Friday's 6-5 loss. He allowed four runs, one home run, one walk and added a strikeout to his line. Other than his complete game in early September, Suarez has pitched less than six innings in every one of his […]

Leonard Fournette Will Start Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette will get the starting nod in the team's backfield against the Rams Sunday. Head coach Bruce Arians had named Ronald Jones II the starter ahead of last week's contest, though Jones has disappointed in game action, fumbling in Week 1 and running out of bounds before the first […]

DeAndre Hopkins Likely To Play Through Injury

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) is likely to suit up Sunday against the Jaguars. Hopkins failed to practice all week but was listed on the team's injury report as questionable, with a team source noting that the club is "pretty confident he'll play but not 100 percent." The All-Pro receiver doesn't need a […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

The games get better and more dramatic by the week. It's like the NFL scripts these games. There were three games Sunday that were blowouts all the way through, not counting the Bucs which used two pick-sixes to not only cover the spread, but knock out Falcons teasers (that one really hurt). I won't go […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 3

Through the first two weeks of the season, the league's top cornerbacks have held receivers in check for the most part and some cornerbacks have emerged as guys opposing quarterbacks will likely target on a weekly basis. The wide receiver matchup article from last week was a little better than Week 1 but some of […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 3

There are more “questionable” players on the NFL injury report than questionable “healthy” options on a fast food menu. As the games pile up, so do the injuries. This makes the life of a fantasy football general manager more difficult than a mask salesman at an anti-vaccine convention. Because the players on their rosters will […]

Tee Higgins Is Not Expected To Play In Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) is not expected to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Dalvin Cook Unlikely To Play In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) is looking unlikely to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Hi there, RotoBallers, and welcome back to Break The Slate! I want to open up the Week 3 edition by taking a minute to look back at Week 2, as I believe part of being a fundamentally sound DFS player is self-evaluation. As part of my own personal self-examination, I have to be willing to […]
