Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 9

The story of Week 8 in the NFL will be the brutal weather situations that stifled many offenses across the league. Patrick Mahomes (416 yards and five touchdowns) and Russell Wilson (261 yards and four touchdowns) did what they do best, but statistics were down across the league.

Patriots Add Donte Moncrief To Practice Squad

The New England Patriots signed wide receiver Donte Moncrief and defensive lineman Ryan Glasgow to their practice squad on Wednesday. The Patriots continue to look for receiver depth with Julian Edelman (knee) on Injured Reserve and N'Keal Harry (concussion) missing the last two games. Moncrief was cut by the Jets in October and hasn't caught […]

Harold Varner III Looks To Rebound At Memorial Park

Harold Varner III heads to the Vivint Houston Open on the heels of a disappointing performance in last week's Bermuda Championship. Varner missed the cut at Port Royal after shooting a disastrous second-round 80 in extremely windy conditions. This week's Memorial Park layout should provide a nice bounce-back spot for the up-and-comer and will give […]

Xiaonan Yan Quietly Going For Six Wins In A Row

Xiaonan Yan (12-1) has been on a quiet run since joining the UFC, going 5-0 inside the Octagon. All five of her wins have been by unanimous decision. In her career, though, Yan has scored five knockouts out of her 12 wins. Yan has a reputation of pressing the pace and will need to do […]

Doc Redman Heads To Houston Off Strong Finish

Doc Redman heads to this week's Vivint Houston Open fresh off a strong finish in last week's Bermuda Championship. Redman logged a T4 on a windswept Port Royal layout. He'll look to keep the positive momentum going in this week's Vivint Houston Open. The 22-year-old is one of the PGA Tour's rising stars. His move […]

Claudia Gadelha Looking For Three Wins In A Row

Claudia Gadelha (18-4) is at an important crossroads in her career. She has currently won three of her last four bouts and is under the tutelage of striking-genius Mark Henry. Seven of Gadelha's 18 career wins have come by submission, with an additional two more coming by knockout. DraftKings has Claudinha listed at $7,900 for […]

Adam Scott Set To Make Second Start Of Season

Adam Scott will make his second start of the 2021 season, coming off a T38 finish at the U.S. Open in September. The data is limited in just one tournament so far this season, but there were a couple good parts of Scott's game at the U.S. Open that may suggest success this week. He […]

Mitchell Trubisky Expected To Miss Time

Chicago Bears backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) is expected to miss at least a few weeks with a shoulder injury that he suffered on his one play in Week 8. The Bears are concerned that Trubisky could have significant structural issues in his throwing shoulder. As a result, the Bears are bringing in quarterbacks Jake […]

Viktor Hovland A Rock-Solid Option In Houston

Viktor Hovland is set to tee it up in the Vivint Houston Open. Hovland has been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour this year, making the cut in all 14 of his starts since returning from the COVID-19 layoff. The 23-year-old's consistency stems from his tremendous ball striking. He finished last […]

Brooks Koepka Will Attempt To Find Form In Houston

Four-time major winner Brooks Koepka will attempt to get his game in shape for the upcoming Masters at this week's Vivint Houston Open. 2020 has been filled with injuries and disappointment for Koepka, who has posted just one top-five finish this year. He returned from a brief layoff to post a T28 at the ZOZO […]

Matthew Stafford Considered A High-Risk Close Contact

Updating a previous item, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is being considered a high-risk close contact from a non-team member, according to a source. The Lions put Stafford on the COVID-19 list on Wednesday, but his last contact was Monday, which means he would be eligible to come off the list on Sunday and play […]

Alvin Kamara Says He'll Return To Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (toe) said that he will be back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with an injury that he likened to stubbing "your toe on the corner of a bedpost or something." It's not an injury that will keep Kamara from facing the division-rival Buccaneers on […]

Texans Signing Josh McCown

The Houston Texans are signing veteran quarterback Josh McCown on Wednesday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. McCown was part of the Eagles practice squad earlier this season, but he'll now join Houston's active roster as the third-stringer behind Deshaun Watson and backup A.J. McCarron. The 41-year-old is more of a coach at this point […]

Stefon Diggs A Top-Tier Option For Week 9

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been a reliable weapon all season long with his new team. Quarterback Josh Allen and Diggs continue to destroy opposing defenses each and every week. Diggs should have great WR1 upside against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. A secondary that has allowed the most fantasy points to […]

Aaron Jones Listed As Questionable For Thursday

The Green Bay Packers are listing running back Aaron Jones (calf) as questionable for the Thursday night game against the 49ers. Jones was limited in practice on Tuesday, but he's missed the last two games and the Packers haven't seemed very optimistic that he'll suit up on a short week, even though Jamaal Williams and […]

Zack Moss Carries RB3 Value Versus Seahawks

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss was able to put together his best performance of the season versus the New England Patriots in Week 8. He rushed 14 times for 81 yards with two touchdowns in the win. He continues to split up the carries with Devin Singletary, which is going to limit his value. […]

Matthew Stafford Placed On COVID List

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was not at practice on Wednesday and has been placed on the reserve/COVID list, per Adam Shefter. Stafford was not present at the portion of practice that the media is allowed to observe as Chase Daniel and David Blough split carries. At this point, Stafford's availability is up in the […]

Lions Place Matthew Stafford On COVID-19 List

The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that they have placed quarterback Matthew Stafford on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Since it's unknown yet as to whether Stafford actually tested positive for COVID-19, there's a chance that he could still suit up for Week 9 against the Vikings if he's just being quarantined. However, fantasy managers should be […]

Devin Singletary Has Low Ceiling

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary finally put together a decent week rushing the ball against the New England Patriots. Last week, he rushed 14 times for 86 yards in the win. Sadly, his fantasy value is going to be fairly limited going forward. Rookie Zack Moss splits up the carries with Singletary in the […]

Scottie Scheffler A Solid Play At Houston Open

Scottie Scheffler will make his fifth start of the season, coming off a T17 finish at ZOZO. Scheffler should be a reliable player in this week's field. Nothing stands out as great, but he is solid in every facet of his game. He ranks 20th in birdie average, 31st in greens in regulation percentage, and […]

Josh Allen Should Rebound In Week 9

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been producing fairly average numbers since his outstanding first four weeks of the season. Fantasy owners should continue to lean on Allen even with him being average lately. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. A secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points […]

Tough To Trust D'Andre Swift

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift will try and improve upon the one rushing yard he posted in Week 8 when the team takes on the Vikings this Sunday. Swift posted 116 rushing yards in Week 6 but has posted only 28 rushing yards on 15 carries the last two weeks. The rookie will face […]

Alvin Kamara Not Practicing Wednesday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday due to a foot injury that isn't considered major, according to a source. Unless Kamara suffers a setback later this week, his injury isn't expected to keep him out for the Sunday night showdown with the Buccaneers. Things could get a little […]

T.J. Hockenson Has Solid Floor Against Vikings

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will go up against a Vikings Defense that is allowing the 15th most fantasy points to the tight end position this season. Hockenson has been a pillar of consistency this season, posting 50 or more receiving yards in five of the seven games he has played. The second-year tight […]

Joe Burrow Has Impressed Halfway Through Rookie Season

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow thinks he's "just scratching the surface" on his potential at the halfway point of his first year in the NFL. Burrow is third in the league with 2,272 passing yards through eight weeks, which is on pace to beat Andrew Luck's rookie record set in 2012. He also leads […]
