D'Andre Swift Leads Lions With 64 Rushing Yards

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift carried the ball 13 times for 64 yards and added 33 receiving yards in the Lions 34-20 loss to the Vikings in Week 9. Swift led the team in targets and provided more in the passing game than veteran Adrian Peterson. It is becoming more clear by the week […]

Adam Thielen Quiet With 38 Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught only two passes for 38 yards in the Vikings 34-20 win over the Lions in Week 9. Thielen saw a team-high five targets in the game, which accounted for 25% of the team's pass attempts as running back Dalvin Cook went nuts for 248 all-purpose yards with two […]

David Johnson Posts 16 Total Yards, Leaves With Concussion

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (head) carried the ball just two times for 16 rushing yards and left the game after sustaining a concussion. Johnson looked like he was on his way towards a good game, then, unfortunately, took a hit to the head and had to leave the contest. His fantasy managers will […]

Justin Jefferson Held To 64 Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught three passes for a team-high 64 yards in the team's Week 9 victory over the Lions 34-20. The Vikings rode the excellent play of running back Dalvin Cook to victory as the passing game took a backseat in this contest. Despite the middling fantasy results, Jefferson has emerged […]

Kirk Cousins Tosses Three Touchdowns In Win

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 13-of-20 passes for 220 yards and three touchdown passes in the team's convincing 34-20 win over the Lions. It was an unspectacular air attack for Minnesota, leaning heavily on the 248 all-purpose yards from dynamite running back Dalvin Cook. But Cousins cashed in when given the chance in the […]

Travis Kelce Picks Up 159 Yards In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce put together another explosive game on Sunday versus the Carolina Panthers. Kelce was targeted 12 times in the contest and caught 10 balls for 159 yards. Kelce may be a tight end, but he holds the value of a WR1 in weekly leagues. Kelce heads into the Chiefs […]

Tyreek Hill Scores Two More Touchdowns On Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill continued his strong season with two more touchdowns on Sunday. Hill was targeted 18 times and hauled in nine balls for 113 yards. It was Hill's first game with over 100 yards receiving this year and he has now scored in all but one game this season. Hill […]

Dalvin Cook Throttles Lions With 248 Total Yards, Two Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 22 times for 206 yards with two touchdowns and 46 receiving yards in the Vikings 34-20 win over the Lions in Week 9. Cook has been absolutely on fire and the Lions were his latest victim. Cook punched in his first score in the first half […]

Le'Veon Bell Continues To Struggle With Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell continues to struggle for his new team. The Chiefs were pass heavy on Sunday, but Bell was only able to manage four carries for eight yards and one reception for negative five yards. Bell hasn't been impressive since joining the Chiefs and managers shouldn't let go of him […]

Deshaun Watson Throws For 281 Yards, Two Scores

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 19 of 32 passes for 281 yards and two scores. Watson averaged a healthy 8.8 yards per attempt and even added 50 yards on the ground in another strong showing against the Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been about as steady as they come this year- he has at least […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Only Gets Five Carries

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire posted another underwhelming performance on Sunday. The rookie didn't have many opportunities to his defense and only rushed five times for 14 yards. He did salvage his day with three catches for 20 yards and a touchdown, but it was disappointing to see him do so little in […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Four More Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the fastest quarterback to throw for 100 touchdowns in Week 9 versus the Carolina Panthers. The Chiefs got off to a slow start, but Mahomes once again came through for fantasy managers. Mahomes tossed four touchdowns in this contest and was 30-for-45 for 372 yards. The MVP has […]

Justin Jackson Questionable To Return In Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Jackson exited in the first quarter and had not recorded a carry or reception. If he's unable to return, expect to see copious amounts of Joshua Kelley in his place for the remainder of the […]

Matthew Stafford Being Evaluated For Concussion

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford exited Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings to be evaluated for a concussion. Chase Daniel is in at quarterback for the Lions and has already thrown an interception. If Stafford is ruled out, he'll finish 23-for-32 for 211 yards with a touchdown and a pair of picks. Not a great […]

Jack Doyle Ruled Out With Concussion

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Ravens with a concussion. Doyle ends the day no catches. With Doyle out, the Colts will look to Mo Alie-Cox and Trey Burton more at tight end, but this offense has been spreading the ball around to […]

Josh Jacobs Active For Week 9

As expected, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) will play against the Chargers in Week 9. Appearing on the injury list late in the week, it looked like Jacobs's status could be in doubt, but he should be good to go. The Chargers Defense has struggled against opposing running backs, making Jacobs […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has "Encouraging Pregame Warmup"

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) has had his Week 9 status up in the air all week, but ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Elliott had an "encouraging pregame warmup." That seems to indicate that Elliott is trending towards playing against a strong Steelers Defense. With Garrett Gilbert starting at quarterback, the Cowboys will […]

David Johnson Ruled Out In Week 9

Houston Texans running back David Johnson has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 9 contest against the Jaguars with a concussion. Johnson joins linebacker Brennan Scarlet (arm) as Texans players who were ruled out of Sunday's game. Johnson has been replaced for the remainder of this game by Duke Johnson Jr. […]

Season Finale 500: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

It's bittersweet, but we are finally here at the end of the 2020 NASCAR season. This year has been incredible and full of changes that will benefit the sport moving into 2021, but it's also gained a ton of new fans and network popularity. I'm proud to be associated with NASCAR as a DFS and […]

Kyle Allen Diagnosed With Dislocated Ankle

The initial diagnosis on Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen's injury is a dislocated ankle, but Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network says the fracture is small, which appears to make the injury slightly better than it initially looked. Allen is going to miss time, though, and we should expect someone else -- likely Alex […]

Kyle Allen Exits On Sunday

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen (leg) has left Sunday's game against the New York Giants with what appears to be a fairly significant leg injury. If Allen is unable to return to this game or moving forward, expect Alex Smith will take over as the team's starting quarterback. Smith is currently in at quarterback […]

David Johnson Being Evaluated For Concussion

Houston Texans running back David Johnson left Sunday's game against the Jaguars to be evaluated for a concussion. If he's unable to return, Duke Johnson Jr. would see an uptick in snaps and would likely serve as the main back on both rushing and passing downs for a Texans team that doesn't have much running […]

Taco Charlton Questionable To Return For Chiefs Defense

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Taco Charlton (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Charlton has been rejuvenated in Kansas City this season, with two sacks in six games as a rotational line piece. His absence won't kill this defense, but they would take a slight knock if he's unable […]

Noah Fant Limps Off

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant limped off the field during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Fant has one reception for 32 yards in the game. If he's unable to return, we'll get a chance to see more of tight end Albert Okwuegbunam against a susceptible Falcons Defense.

Bears Put Lachavious Simmons On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed offensive lineman Lachavious Simmons on the Reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Titans. Simmons will not play this weekend after testing positive for coronavirus on Saturday, according to a source. The good news for the Bears is that he had no high-risk contacts, so no other players […]

Aldon Smith Expected To Play In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Aldon Smith (knee), who is questionable for Week 9 against the Steelers, is expected to play. Smith was limited in practice this week and should be good to go against Pittsburgh, according to owner Jerry Jones. The 31-year-old has made a nice comeback to the NFL after years of off-the-field issues, […]

Jeremy Chinn Out For Panthers Defense

Carolina Panthers rookie safety Jeremy Chinn (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Chiefs. Left tackle Russell Okung (calf) is also out this Sunday. Chinn, a second-round pick out of Southern Illinois, has been a weekly IDP starter at the defensive back position in his first year in the NFL. The 22-year-old […]

Tim Patrick Active Against Atlanta

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hamstring) is officially active for Week 9 against the Falcons. Things were trending this way all throughout the week, but it's now official. Patrick missed the Week 8 win over the Chargers but will return to being one of the team's top aerial weapons for quarterback Drew Lock. His […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Risky With Rookie Quarterback Starting

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. remains the No. 1 receiver in Jacksonville following the team's bye, but with rookie quarterback Jake Luton starting for the first time, Chark becomes significantly riskier than usual. His talent and role always give him WR2 upside, but Chark should be viewed as more of a WR3 play […]

Jake Luton A Risky Play In First NFL Start

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Jake Luton will earn his first NFL start on Sunday against the Houston Texans with Gardner Minshew II (thumb) out. It's a good matchup for Luton against a Texans Defense that allows the 11th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, but this offense has a lot of question marks, and even […]
