The Cleveland Browns are placing offensive lineman Chris Hubbard on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday.

Evan Engram A Must-Start Option Versus Eagles

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been heating up over the last three games and earned his first receiving touchdown of the season last week in Washington. Engram has been a favorite target of Daniel Jones as Engram has 29 targets over the last three games. That kind of target-share makes Engram a […]

Mark Ingram II Practices Friday

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) took part in practice on Friday. Ingram missed practice on Thursday as he continues to nurse an ankle injury that has kept him out since Week 6. It at least gives the veteran back a chance to return this weekend against […]

Giants Defense A Low-End Option Versus Eagles

The New York Giants Defense has been a mediocre-at-best unit for fantasy this season but faces a good matchup versus the Eagles in Week 10. Philadelphia allows the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses so New York can be in play. James Bradberry has been a rising-star at cornerback, but there is little else to […]

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is coming off a season-worst game last week in which he caught just one pass for six yards. Slayton has had huge games this season but has also gone invisible at times making him one of the more frustrating receivers to roster in fantasy. Slayton has five games […]

Sterling Shepard Looking To Keep Momentum In Philly

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has asserted himself as the top receiving option for the team since returning from injury three weeks ago. Shepard has at least eight targets in all three games and will look to keep it up versus a beatable Eagles secondary. The fifth-year receiver played a season-high 78 percent […]

Mike Tomlin Expects Ben Roethlisberger To Be Activated

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he expects quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to be activated from the COVID-19 list on Saturday.

Kendrick Bourne Activated From COVID-19 List

The San Francisco 49ers activated wide receiver Kendrick Bourne from the COVID-19 list on Friday, and he will play in Week 10 against the Saints.

Zack Moss Looks To Continue Touchdown Streak

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss has held some decent fantasy value over the last few games. In fact, Moss has three touchdowns over the last two weeks. He looks to keep his touchdown streak alive against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. Moss continues to split up the carries with Devin Singletary in the […]

Dion Lewis, Alfred Morris Not In Play For Fantasy In Week 10

New York Giants running backs Dion Lewis and Alfred Morris are not startable options in Week 10, even with Devonta Freeman (ankle) expected to miss his third straight game.

Devin Singletary Hard To Trust In Week 10

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is coming off his worst game on the ground this season. He rushed twice for one yard in the Week 9 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Singletary hauled in three receptions for 33 yards, but it was a pass-heavy gameplan last week. He should get more chances on the […]

49ers Offense Utilizing Pre-Snap Shifts Most Often

The San Francisco 49ers offense had the highest motion rate (75.7 percent) in the league last year and are once again leading the league in pre-snap shifts (72.1 percent). However, key injuries to their skill position players in 2020 have made the tactic less effective. They're gaining 6.1 yards per play using motion this year […]

Josh Allen Could Have Trouble With Cardinals

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was finally able to break out of his slump against the Seattle Seahawks last week. He completed 31 of 38 passing attempts for 415 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win. It's not surprising to see Allen destroy the league-worst secondary. He'll get a tougher matchup against […]

Wayne Gallman Should Lead New York Backfield Again

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman has led the backfield over the last three weeks and should see enough touches to be a startable fantasy option in Week 10.

Minnesota Vikings first-round rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson has caught 10 of his 11 targets for 276 yards and a touchdown on deep routes this year.

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) was not seen practicing during individual drills at Friday's practice. Freeman was expected to return this week for a divisional showdown with Philadelphia but reaggravated his ankle injury early in Thursday's practice.

Will Hernandez Expected To Play Sunday

New York Giants guard Will Hernandez was back at practice this week after being cleared to return to the team. Hernandez missed the last two games while in quarantine after a positive COVID-19 test.

Cook has averaged 0.23 expected points added (EPA) per carry compared to quarterback Kirk Cousins' 0.14 EPA per dropback.

Daniel Jones A Risky Start Versus Eagles

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones hasn't taken the next step in his sophomore season but played well last week and will look to carry that momentum into a divisional showdown with Philadelphia.
