Ravens Defense Returns From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated cornerback Terrell Bonds, outside linebacker Tyus Bowser, safety DeShon Elliott and linebackers L.J. Fort, Malik Harrison and Patrick Queen from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. They were all put on the COVID-19 list earlier this week when they were deemed high-risk close contacts of All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who won't play […]

Jadeveon Clowney Dealing With Meniscus Issue

Tennessee Titans pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney (knee), who is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Bears after not practicing all week, is dealing with a meniscus issue, according to sources. All options are on the table at this point, including surgery, which would knock him out for the rest of the season. Clowney is […]

Breshad Perriman Likely To Play Versus Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (head) is hopeful to get back on the field for the Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots. He missed the game last week, but is reportedly in the final phase of the league's concussion protocol. Sadly, Perriman will be returning against a Pats secondary that has […]

Derek Carr Looks To Rebound Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had a tough game last week against the Browns where the weather was a massive factor. He will have a good opportunity to bounce back this week against a Chargers Defense that ranks 31st against opposing quarterbacks so far this season. Carr is averaging two touchdowns per game and […]

Jamison Crowder Remains A WR2 In Week 9

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. There is a good chance that he will return from his two-game absence against the New England Patriots on Monday night. Crowder has been the only bright spot for this Jets offense this season. Quarterback Sam Darnold […]

Christian McCaffrey Activated From Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers officially activated running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) and defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle) from Injured Reserve to the 53-man roster on Saturday. Both players will be active in Week 9 against the Chiefs. McCaffrey suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and has been out since. Mike Davis did a nice job […]

La'Mical Perine Tough To Trust Against New England

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine continues to work behind veteran Frank Gore in the backfield. It's unclear why head coach Adam Gase won't hand over the keys to the youngster in a winless season. Perine has some promising upside, but Gase continues to handicap his fantasy value. The New England Patriots are average […]

Dexter Williams Out At Least Three Weeks

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams (knee), who was brought up from the practice squad for Thursday's game against the 49ers, will be out at least three weeks with an MCL sprain after undergoing an MRI exam, according to a source. Williams will be a candidate for Injured Reserve. The 23-year-old from Notre Dame […]

Frank Gore Has Minimal Upside

New York Jets running back Frank Gore continues to see 10-plus carries a week for some unknown reason. Head coach Adam Gase does not appear ready to hand over the lead-back duties to rookie La'Mical Perine. The Jets are winless and have no hope at making the playoffs at this point. It's unknown why Gase continues […]

Colts Defense Aims To Stop Ravens Rushing Attack

The Indianapolis Colts Defense has allowed the least amount of rushing yards so far this season, and they will be taking on a Ravens offense that has the most rushing yards in the league. The Ravens are picking up 5.5 yards per carry and ran all over a stingy Steelers rush defense last week. The Colts […]

Sam Darnold An Awful Option Versus Patriots

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was limited during Friday's practice. However, head coach Adam Gase continues to say that Darnold will suit up for the Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots. Darnold has not thrown a touchdown since Week 3, so it'd be surprising if anyone still owns him in fantasy […]

Trey Burton Splitting Time With Other Colts Tight Ends

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton has been splitting snaps with fellow tight ends Mo Alie-Cox and Jack Doyle. He is seeing the most targets out of the tight ends since his return from injury and has three touchdowns over his last two games, two of them coming via goal line rushes. He currently ranks […]

Damiere Byrd A Possible Deep League Option

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has seen his targets decrease over the last few games. He hauled in three of his four targets for 39 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. Those numbers were without both of the Pats two top receivers, so not exactly a promising showing […]

Jakobi Meyers A Sneaky Option In Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is coming off his best game of the season against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. However, the Pats offense was missing their two top receivers, which is why Meyers saw ten targets. Julian Edelman (knee) is unlikely going to be suiting up anytime soon, which means Meyers […]

N'Keal Harry Has Favorable Upside Versus Jets

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (head) is expected to return after sitting out the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He sat out last game due to a concussion, but should play able to suit up against the New York Jets in Week 9. Julian Edelman (knee) is going to be sidelined […]

Rex Burkhead A Desperation Deep League Option

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead put together one huge week and has been a ghost on offense since then. The Pats have a three-back committee, so Burkhead often times gets lost in the shuffle. The good news is, Burkhead does have a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 9. This […]

James White An Unreliable Option Right Now

New England Patriots running back James White appeared to have a significant role in this offense a few weeks ago. However, he has been a forgotten man over the last few weeks. White is basically used exclusively as a receiving back, but hasn't seen the ball thrown his way lately. White does have a favorable […]

Damien Harris Should Run All Over Jets

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) is primed for a big game against the New York Jets in Week 9. This Jets Defense has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to running backs coming into this game. Harris was dealing with an ankle issue last week, but played through it. He rushed 16 times […]

Cam Newton Should Bounce Back Versus Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has cooled down after his hot start to kick off the 2020 season. Newton has only thrown over 200 yards once this entire season. Luckily, Newton has been able to salvage his fantasy value by gaining yards with his legs. Although, it hasn't been enough to put him in […]

Tyler Kroft Has Unfavorable Matchup In Week 9

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft has put together a few decent performances this season, but hasn't been able to find any consistency. He hauled in his lone target for 11 yards in the victory over the New England Patriots in Week 8. Dawson Knox (calf) could return from a three-game absence versus the Seattle […]

Gabriel Davis A Risky Option Versus Seahawks

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis has been a non-factor over the last few weeks. Davis was putting together a few decent performances early in the season, but that has faded away as of late. He has seen six total targets over the last three games. The Bills are playing a shaky secondary in the […]

The Colts Running Backs - Jonathan Taylor vs Jordan Wilkins

Entering Week 8, there was still some fantasy hope for Jonathan Taylor. Many fantasy players were patient with him for much of the first half of the season, figuring the best was still yet to come. Other than a 101-yard outing in Week 2, though, Taylor had simply not shown a lot of upside as […]
