Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) will be a game-time decision based on his pain level in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Giovanny Gallegos Saves Another One On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Giovanny Gallegos earned his 12th save of the season in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs. Gallegos leads all of baseball with 10 saves in the month of September, and he's certainly locked down the ninth inning role in the St. Louis bullpen. With Alex Reyes still walking […]

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes pitched poorly in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader, but ended up with a win anyway.

Tee Higgins Doubtful To Face Steelers

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that could change on Saturday.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) had a successful two-inning rehab appearance on Thursday and is now ready to join the big league team.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) missed practice all week and is doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. Jacobs missed the Week 2 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and doesn't look close to returning this Sunday. Fantasy managers should plan to be without him for the second straight game. […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) are listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. Jackson returned to a full practice on Friday and is expected to play after sitting out on Thursday with a stomach bug. He's a must-start high-end QB1 against an 0-2 Lions team […]

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.

The young wideout also suffered a shoulder injury in […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Jairzinho Rozenstruik Looks To Earn A Big Win Saturday

The big striking threat of Jairzinho Rozenstruik (12-2) returns to action as he takes on a truly difficult task in Curtis Blaydes on the UFC 266 main card on Saturday. 2-2 in his last four fights, Rozenstruik would love nothing more than to get back to his winning ways and earn a win against top-tier […]

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. Jones has been by far the most consistent and productive wide receiver on the team through two weeks, and he and Trevor Lawrence seem to have developed a nice rapport. Lawrence will likely be airing it out […]
