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. Though Blaydes uses his wrestling skills to control the matchup, nine of his 14 career wins have come […]

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 […]

Coming off of a loss in November of last year, Cynthia Calvillo (9-2-1) returns to action in the opening bout of UFC 266's main card on Saturday.

Austin Siebert Placed On COVID List

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 […]

Cairo Santos Not A Strong Week 3 Play

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is hoping to see his opportunities increase Week 3 against the Browns. Santos connected on both of his field goal attempts last week but the Bears offense has struggled consistently in both games this season. Chicago will now turn to rookie quarterback Justin Fields to elevate the team's play against […]

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. Joseph missed what would have been a game-winning field goal so now the Vikings will try and stave off an 0-3 start against Seattle. The Seahawks have already allowed five field goals through […]

Saquon Barkley Not Listed On Injury Report

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. This is a good sign for the health of the 24-year-old, as he is potentially nearing full strength after tearing his ACL all […]

Mason Crosby Off To Quiet Start

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby could struggle to post a strong fantasy line Week 3 against the 49ers. Crosby is only 1-for-1 through the first two games on field goals but is 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts. 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. The Packers came up with a fumble recovery and one interception last week against the Lions but will face a 49ers offense that is off to a strong start. San Francisco has allowed only one sack […]

Vikings Defense Tasked With Stopping Russell Wilson

The Minnesota Vikings defense will try and stop Russell Wilson and the Seahawks in Week 3. The Vikings are staring at starting the season 0-3 if they do not win this weekend and it will be a tall task shutting down Wilson. Minnesota's defense collapsed in the second half against Joe Burrow and the Bengals […]

Lions Defense Not Worth A Play In Week 3

The Detroit Lions defense will have a tough test Week 3 against the Ravens. Detroit's defense has been decimated quickly by injuries and ineffectiveness and has allowed 79 combined points through the first two games.

Darnell Mooney Questionable Against Browns

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. He has been limited all throughout practice this week, so this is something to monitor ahead of kickoff. With Justin Fields now starting at quarterback, Mooney and the entire offense has a […]

Which Bears Defense Will Show Up In Week 3?

The Chicago Bears defense will try and build off its strong Week 2 performance this Sunday against the Browns. The Bears were shredded to pieces by Matthew Stafford and the Rams in the season opener but bounced back with four sacks, four turnovers and a defensive touchdown last week against the Bengals. Now they will […]

Jamaal Williams Remains In Backfield Timeshare

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams should continue to split carries in the backfield in Week 3 against the Ravens. Williams is considered the RB2 on the Lions but already has racked up 79 rushing yards with one rushing touchdown and 11 receptions for 68 yards. The Lions lead back, D'Andre Swift, has been limited […]

Diontae Johnson Ruled Out Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. It is no surprise that Johnson will be inactive this week, as the injury he suffered at the end of Week 2 looked to be a cause for concern. Mike Tomlin has mentioned that this is not something […]

Josh Gordon Being Reinstated

Wide receiver Josh Gordon is being reinstated by the NFL and will be eligible to play as soon as Week 4, according to Adam Schefter. The 30-year-old most recently played with the Seattle Seahawks in 2019, where he put up just seven receptions for 139 yards in five games. Gordon will likely draw some interest […]

Ryan Succop A Starting Option Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop is a viable starting option in Week 3 against the Rams in what is expected to be a high-scoring contest. Succop has connected on his only field goal attempt in 2021 while making 10 of 11 extra-point attempts as well. The fact that he plays on a high-octane offense […]

Bold Predictions for Week 3

Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like excrement at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]

Buccaneers Defense A Shaky Starting Option

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense is a shaky starting option this week against a Rams squad that has proved to be quite potent offensively with Matthew Stafford under center. Meanwhile, the Bucs have given up 29 and 25 points thus far in two weeks, while the injuries in the secondary remain an issue. The Rams' […]
