College Football Betting Expert Picks for Week Thirteen (11/28/2020)

Week Twelve brought a host of COVID-19 cancellations, including one of the games that we had on our slate last week. Nevertheless, despite the adversity we had plenty to be thankful for with another undefeated week. In the early noon game this past weekend, Clemson was robbed of the opportunity to face Florida State. While […]

Younghoe Koo A Starting Option

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a terrific start this week against Las Vegas. Last week, the kicker hit three field goals, including two from over 50 yards. Overall, Koo has gone 24-for-25 in field goals this season and 18-for-21 in extra points. The Raiders rank in the middle against fantasy kickers, so he is […]

Falcons Defense Should Stay Benched

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should stay benched this week when the Las Vegas Raiders come to town. Las Vegas has a capable QB in Derek Carr, along with solid weapons such as Josh Jacobs, Darren Waller, and Nelson Agholor. Meanwhile, Atlanta has allowed at least 20 points in nine of 10 games. The unit has […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 If Active In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is a low-end TE1 this week if active. The TE is currently dealing with an ankle injury and it remains to be seen if he plays. Hurst got nothing last week on two targets but has generally been decent this season. He has gotten at least 50 yards and […]

Russell Gage In The Flex Conversation

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is in the flex conversation this week. Due to Julio Jones going down with an injury last week, Gage had seven receptions for 58 yards on 12 targets. This week, Jones is still dealing with a hamstring injury and may be a game-time decision. If Jones doesn't play, Gage […]

Calvin Ridley A Low-End WR1 In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a low-end WR1 this week against the Raiders. It's worth noting he is dealing with a foot injury right now, but there is no sign that his status for Sunday is in jeopardy. Ridley posted five receptions for 90 yards on nine targets last week and has gotten […]

Julio Jones A Low-End WR1 This Week If Active

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is currently dealing with a hamstring injury and could be a game-time decision this week against the Raiders. Thus, if he plays, he will be a lower-end WR1 and certainly a riskier option to start considering his injury. Last week, Jones only managed two receptions for 39 yards on […]

Tomoyuki Sugano Expected To Be Posted In Several Weeks

Yomiuri Giants right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano of the Japanese League is expected to be posted within the next two weeks now that the Japan Series has ended, according to a source. Major League clubs have been scouting Sugano for years in preparation for this move. The 31-year-old has been one of the most dominant pitchers in […]

Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB1 In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a low-end RB1 this week versus the Raiders. The RB is coming off a season-low eight carries for 26 yards but has nevertheless remained decent on this offense. Gurley still has had double-digit carries in nine of 10 games and has rushed for over 50 yards in […]

Blue Jays Have Checked In On Brad Hand

The Toronto Blue Jays, who have been among the most active teams in offseason talks, have checked in on free-agent relief pitcher Brad Hand, according to a source. The Jays have other needs on the roster, but a left-handed reliever to join Jordan Romano and Rafael Dolis at the back end of the bullpen is […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Raiders

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 against the Raiders this weekend. Ryan has been a bit streaky this season and posted 232 yards and two picks last week. Overall, he has thrown for over 300 yards in only three of 10 games this season and only has four games with multiple passing […]

Wander Franco Dealing With Sore Biceps

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop and top MLB prospect Wander Franco (biceps) hasn't played for his Dominican Winter League team, the Leones del Escogido, since Friday due to a sore right biceps. Franco will travel back to the U.S. to be looked at by team doctors. The 19-year-old hit .350/.435/.500 with a home run and a […]

Rockies Acquire Robert Stephenson In Four-Player Trade

The Colorado Rockies acquired right-hander Robert Stephenson and minor league outfielder Jameson Hannah from the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday in exchange for right-handed pitchers Jeff Hoffman and Case Williams. Stephenson, 27, made 10 relief appearances for the Reds last year and was 10-13 with a 5.15 ERA in 104 outings (22 starts) for Cincy in […]

Adam Wainwright Unsure If He'll Return To Cardinals

Free-agent right-hander Adam Wainwright is in wait-and-see mode as it pertains to potentially re-signing with the St. Louis Cardinals. Because of a strange shortened 2020 season due to COVID-19 with no fans, the Cardinals could be limited in what they do financially. Long-time catcher Yadier Molina, who is also a free agent, also has his […]

Packers Defense Has Juicy Matchup With Bears

We still don't know who the Chicago Bears will start at quarterback between Nick Foles (hip) and Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) -- Foles didn't practice on Wednesday but Trubisky practiced in full -- but either way, the Packers Defense will be a strong start in all fantasy formats in Week 12. The Bears seem to be […]

Sam Darnold Back At Practice

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was expected to be a limited practice participant on Wednesday in his return, with head coach Adam Gase saying Darnold will do "quite a bit." Darnold has missed the last two games with a right shoulder injury, but his return to practice bodes well for his chances of […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for Thursday (11/26/20) - Monkey Knife Fight

Week 12 of the NFL season brings us two Thanksgiving games, one fewer than expected, but the schedule still offers ample opportunity to play props and win with Monkey Knife Fight. The first game of the day sees the 3-7 Houston Texans visiting the 4-6 Detroit Lions. Neither team has played particularly well this season […]

Adam Humphries Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Adam Humphries (concussion) and safety Kenny Vaccaro (concussion) were both scheduled to practice on Wednesday. It gives both players a chance to suit up in Week 12 against the division-rival Colts. Humphries hasn't played suffering his head injury in Week 8 against the Bengals. The […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Still On Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday, while wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) sat out. Murray suffered the shoulder injury in last Thursday's loss to the Seahawks, but he played through it and should be fine to face the Patriots in Week 12. Hopkins is dealing with a non-COVID-19-related […]

Calais Campbell, Two Offensive Lineman Go On COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens placed defensive end Calais Campbell and offensive linemen Patrick Mekari and Matt Skura on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Because of a COVID-19 outbreak in the Ravens organization this week, the NFL moved the Ravens-Steelers Thursday night Thanksgiving matchup to Sunday afternoon. It's unclear if these three players actually tested positive for […]

Myles Gaskin Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins designated running back Myles Gaskin (knee) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The club also activated defensive tackle Christian Wilkins from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Gaskin practiced in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday, but his activation from IR doesn't necessarily ensure that he'll play in Week 12 against the Jets. In fact, […]

Eagles Defense Not A Recommended Week 12 Option

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a recommended option for Week 12 fantasy lineups. With a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football on tap, the Eagles could easily find themselves in a shootout with Russell Wilson and the Seahawks to close out Week 12. The Eagles defense has had its moments this […]

Jake Elliott Not Worth Starting In Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is not worth a starting spot in most Week 12 fantasy lineups. Elliott has made 10 of his 14 field goal attempts this season and all 14 of his extra point tries. He's been solid when called on, but he's been so rarely called on due to the team's general […]

Tua Tagovailoa Limited In Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice with a left thumb injury. Tagovailoa jammed his left thumb on a helmet in practice, but early indications are that it's nothing serious. The Alabama product struggled mightily for the first time in four starts against the Broncos last week and was benched […]

Zach Ertz Could Return For Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) is "trending in the right direction" to play in Week 12, according to coach Doug Pederson. Ertz hasn't played since Week 6 due to a high-ankle sprain, but he's been able to practice and seems likely to take the field against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football. […]

Dallas Goedert A Top Tight End Option In Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a top-12 tight end choice on Monday Night Football in Week 12. The Eagles take on the Seattle Seahawks, and despite how horrendous they've been on defense, they are actually allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Still, Goedert is more than good enough and runs […]
