Trevor Bauer Unlikely To Return To Reds

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer seems unlikely to re-sign with the Cincinnati Reds in free agency. The Reds plan when they acquired Bauer at the trade deadline in 2019 was to make the playoffs at least once in his two years with the team and then use the increased revenues to try and re-sign him. […]

Francisco Lindor Could Be A Target For Blue Jays

Rival executives are expecting the Toronto Blue Jays to be among the big-spending teams in the offseason, and Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor could be one of their targets. Many expect Lindor to be traded before Opening Day, as he's in his final year of arbitration eligibility after earning a prorated portion of his $17.5 […]

Colts Defense Has Solid Performance Against Ravens

The Indianapolis Colts Defense had a good day against the Ravens, allowing just 17 offensive points. The Colts defense allowed just over 260 total yards, notched 2 sacks, and forced a fumble.

Albert Okwuegbunam Out For The Season

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) is out for the season after tearing his ACL in the Week 9 loss to the Falcons.

Alex Smith The Starter For Washington

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith will be the starter for the team going forward after Kyle Allen (ankle) suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Giants.

Trey Burton Catches One Pass

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton caught just one pass for six yards in a Sunday loss against the Ravens. Burton's snap count has declined in each of the last two weeks, so it seems like is a descending play rather than ascending. Mo Alie-Cox caught three passes for 43 yards, so it is tough […]

Kyle Allen Out For The Season

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen (ankle) is having surgery on the dislocated ankle that he suffered in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Giants and he will be out for the rest of the season, according to a source. Allen is likely looking at a four-month recovery, but he should be ready in […]

Calais Campbell Likely To Miss Multiple Weeks

Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl defensive lineman Calais Campbell (calf) suffered a calf strain in the Week 9 win over the Colts that will likely cause him to miss multiple weeks, according to sources. The good news is Campbell doesn't have any structural issues. It's not a major injury, but calf strains have a tendency to […]

Jack Doyle Unlikely To Play Thursday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 9 loss to the Ravens, making it unlikely that he is able to play on Thursday night against the Titans. With quarterback Philip Rivers spreading the ball out on a weekly basis and with […]

Zach Pascal Catches Five Passes

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal caught five passes for 55 yards on six targets in a Sunday loss against the Ravens. It was the first game of the season where Pascal caught more than four passes. Philip Rivers continued to spread the ball around, targeting 10 different receivers throughout the game.

Josh Lambo Done For The Season

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo aggravated his gluteus medius muscle in the Week 9 loss to the Texans, according to a source. It's a worse version of the injury that caused him to miss a month earlier this season, so he is headed for Injured Reserve and is done for the season. More kicking troubles […]

Matthew Stafford Has Cleared Concussion Protocol

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (concussion), who suffered a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Vikings, actually cleared the league's concussion protocol on Sunday and said that he felt good in a post-game press conference.

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let me make something clear before we move forward: Minnesota's passing game and QB Kirk Cousins are, let's say, not volume-friendly. Cousins ranks 26th in passing attempts this season, and he's targeting his tight ends just 1.7 times per game compared to the […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The highest of Tim Patrick's hype-szn came in Week 4 when we finished as the WR7 to the tune of 23.3 fantasy points in a great game against the stupidly-bad Jets. After putting up a dud against Kansas City in Week 7, though, […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Betting on the Packers offense outside of Davante Adams or Aaron Jones takes guts, but here we are. Although those two have played just six games each, they lead the team's skill-position players in total PPR points and PPR points per game through […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Allen Robinson III the clear WR1 of the Bears, it's all about Darnell Mooney and Anthony Miller when it comes to getting that WR2 role and the opportunities that come with it. And nine weeks into the season, the under-the-radar-rookie Mooney has […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, LV) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Keep sleeping on Agholor, but do so at your own risk. Sure, the Week 8 performance couldn't have been worse (0.0 PPR points, two targets... in 56 snaps), but every Raider/Brown gets a pass as the weather was just atrocious. Other than that, […]

Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What the Panthers are doing should be praised way more than it has this season. They're featuring a new quarterback (Teddy Bridgewater) and also brought a new no. 1 wide receiver (Robby Anderson) yet both have played quite nicely this season while developing […]

Wayne Gallman (RB, NYG) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The only thing that might prevent you from adding Wayne Gallman to your roster and keeping them ROS should be his bye week coming in Week 11. Other than that, the schedule looks good for him to close the fantasy season, as Gallman […]

Jordan Wilkins (RB, IND) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is not about who had a better game this past Sunday among Colts' running backs, but rather how Indianapolis is using them and how things could develop further down the road. Last week marked a turning point in the Jordan Wilkins-Jonathan Taylor […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After all, fantasy GMs seem to be catching up with Derek Carr's exploits. It took time, and perhaps this is not the best moment to throw compliments toward Carr given his last two outings, but he's a must-have player in pretty much every deeper […]

Drew Lock (QB, DEN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Somehow, for some reason, Drew Lock keeps flying under the radar all around the Yahoo! landscape. Lock is still available in four of each five fantasy leagues out there, which makes no sense at all. While Lock finished his first three games out of […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tua knows no defeat. Three times has he been on an NFL field, three times he's gone home with the W. Sure, he just threw a couple of passes in garbage time against the Jets, so that shouldn't count, but he won his first […]

Richie James Jr. (WR, SF) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is going to be hard--way hard, in fact--to see Richie James Jr. reach the amount of playing time he got against Green Bay last Thursday, let alone watching him play to league-winning levels. The 49ers have been ravaged by injuries this season, […]
