Michael Gallup Unlikely To Repeat His Week 8 Performance

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup unexpectedly led the team in receiving in Week 8, catching seven passes for 61 yards on a dozen targets. He'd been a low-volume field stretcher for most of the season, but rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci targeted him more than anyone else on the Cowboys offense. With DiNucci benched after […]

CeeDee Lamb Facing Another Rough Game In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has had two straight disappointing weeks, totaling just 27 receiving yards combined. He was looking like an every-week WR1 with Dak Prescott in the lineup, but has struggled with Andy Dalton and Ben DiNucci. This week, against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cowboys will start either Cooper Rush […]

Amari Cooper No Longer In The WR1 Ranks

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper can no longer be considered a member of the WR1 ranks in any fantasy format. Cooper caught only one pass last week, gaining just five yards. With the Cowboys quarterback position now looking to start its fourth or fifth string guy, Cooper will settle in as a WR3 with […]

Tony Pollard Unlikely To See Increased Role In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will likely continue in his change-of-pace role in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pollard has been getting a few more touches lately, but he's still working clearly behind starter Ezekiel Elliott. Pollard was the more efficient runner last week, running the ball seven times for 40 yards, but […]

Ezekiel Elliott Could Struggle Again In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott might be fighting an uphill battle against the Steelers in Week 9 without quarterback Andy Dalton for the second straight week. The Cowboys are taking on the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers and will have either Cooper Rush or Garrett Gilbert under center, ensuring stacked boxes against the running game. Elliott […]

Ben DiNucci Benched Ahead Of Week 9

Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci has been benched ahead of the Week 9 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. DiNucci was predictably atrocious in leading the Cowboys offense in Week 8. While Andy Dalton (concussion, COVID) was originally expected back for Week 9, he has already been declared out. That leaves the Cowboys with a […]

Takkarist McKinley Voices Displeasure After Not Being Traded

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley made it known on Twitter that he wasn't happy about not being traded at Tuesday's deadline. "These @AtlantaFalcons turned down a second-round draft pick when I requested to get traded last year," McKinley wrote. "The same @AtlantaFalcons turned down a fifth- and sixth-round draft pick from multiple teams when […]

Mets Expected To Be A Top Suitor For J.T. Realmuto

Free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto is one of the most coveted free agents this offseason, especially at his position, and the New York Mets are expected to be one of his top suitors this winter with new owner Steve Cohen looking to make an immediate splash. Former Mets general manager and current MLB Network Radio analyst […]

Kendrick Bourne Tests Positive For COVID-19

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, according to a source. It means that Bourne will not play on Thursday night against the Packers. Any players deemed to be high-risk close contacts of his will also be ruled out, assuming the Week 9 game goes on as scheduled on […]

Javon Wims' Two-Game Suspension Upheld

Chicago Bears wide receiver Javon Wims' two-game suspension for punching Saints defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson in the helmet in Week 8 was upheld by appeals officer James Thrash, according to a source. Wims will miss the next two games against the Titans and Vikings. The 26-year-old violated the league's personal conduct rules by inciting a […]

49ers Shut Down Facility Due To Positive COVID-19 Test

The San Francisco 49ers shut down their facility on Wednesday due to a positive COVID-19 test result, according to a source. Everything will be conducted virtually on Wednesday. With their Week 9 game scheduled for Thursday night against the Packers, this raises concerns about whether the game will be pushed back to Sunday or even […]

Bears Release Ted Ginn Jr.

The Chicago Bears released veteran wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. on Wednesday, according to a source. The Bears likely tried to trade the 35-year-old wideout but found no takers before the Tuesday deadline. In an offense that has barely been able to support two fantasy relevant pass-catchers, Ginn was buried too far down on Chicago's […]

Auden Tate (WR, CIN) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It has been an exciting season to follow the Joe Burrow-led Bengals offense, and plenty of on-field assets have gotten in on the action as a result. One player that has been largely absent so far has been Auden Tate, who many […]

Eno Benjamin (RB, ARI) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenyan Drake is out for Week Nine and possibly longer, meaning that it will be Chase Edmonds heading up the Arizona Cardinals backfield in the meantime. With that shift in mind, the window of opportunity has been cracked for rookie running back Eno […]

Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to imagine there being room for another wide receiver to find success in the Falcons lineup when Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are putting up such monster numbers, but Russell Gage has found space for a nice season in his […]

D'Onta Foreman (RB, TEN) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It seems like a stretch of the imagination that the Derrick Henry-led, stout Titans running game could feed another mouth on the ground after the introduction of Jeremy McNichols, but it looks like D'Onta Foreman stands an excellent shot at becoming a worthy […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 8's Studs Turned Duds

Halfway through the 2020 NFL season, things are getting repetitive. Once again, Michael Thomas doesn't play, along with nearly a dozen elite running backs. This siphoning of the RB position leaves the following people atop scoring leaderboards for the week: Giovani Bernard, DeeJay Dallas, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Zack Moss, Jamaal Williams, Justin Jackson, Damien […]

Nolan Arenado Headlines NL Gold Glove Winners

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado was awarded his eighth Gold Glove award on Tuesday in as many seasons. His 15 defensive runs saved this year were three more than any player at the hot corner. Arenado's streak is the second-longest to start a career in MLB history, behind Ichiro Suzuki's 10. It's the third-longest […]

Alex Gordon Wins Eighth Gold Glove In Final Season

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon, who announced his retirement at the end of the 2020 season, won his eighth and final Gold Glove award on Tuesday. The 36-year-old finished off his career by winning a Gold Glove in four straight seasons. The other American League winners included Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White, Cleveland […]

Aaron Jones Could Be A Game-Time Decision

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur hinted that running back Aaron Jones (calf) will be a game-time decision on Thursday night against the 49ers. "We'll give him up to game time, and then we'll figure it out. So, we'll see," LaFleur said. Jones has missed the last two games, but the Packers may continue […]

Jets Sticking With Adam Gase, Sam Darnold

New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas said that head coach Adam Gase is part of the solution to New York's problems. The Jets are the worst team in football at 0-8 and Gase has been on the hot seat for some time. Douglas also praised quarterback Sam Darnold's toughness and remains committed to him […]

George Kittle Going On Injured Reserve

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that tight end George Kittle (foot) will go on Injured Reserve after suffering multiple breaks in his foot in the Week 8 loss to the Seahawks. "They told me eight weeks. Kittle says two, but that's how he rolls. That's why he'll go on IR and if […]

49ers Waive Dante Pettis Tuesday

The San Francisco 49ers waived former second-round wide receiver Dante Pettis on Tuesday after failing in their attempt to trade him. Pettis fumbled in his first career kickoff return in the Week 8 loss to the Seahawks, which apparently was the last straw in a disappointing run with San Francisco. His rookie season in 2018 […]

Ravens Defense Could Be Short-Handed Sunday

The Baltimore Ravens placed linebackers Matt Judon, Patrick Queen, Malik Harrison and L.J. Fort, offensive guard Tyre Phillips, defensive back DeShon Elliott and practice-squad defensive back Terrell Bonds on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday because they were deemed high-risk close contacts of cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who tested positive for COVID-19 this week. Humphrey will be […]

Lions Place Jarrad Davis On COVID-19 List

The Detroit Lions placed linebacker Jarrad Davis on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Davis, the 21st overall pick in the first round in 2017, will not be eligible to play in Week 9 against the Vikings, which is good news for Vikings star running back Dalvin Cook. The 24-year-old has recorded 18 tackles (10 solo), […]

Titans Release Johnathan Joseph

The Tennessee Titans released veteran cornerback Johnathan Joseph on Tuesday. The 15-year veteran defensive back made it just seven games into his Tennessee tenure before being let go. A two-time Pro Bowler with the Texans in 2011 and 2012, Joseph had 28 tackles (24 solo), one interception, four passes defensed and one forced fumble for […]

Anderson Silva's Swan Song Not As Sweet As Hoped

It has been a rough ride for Anderson Silva as he's lost seven of his eight bouts since 2012. Unfortunately, Saturday's main event was no different, as he suffered a fourth-round knockout to Uriah Hall. In just over four rounds of action, Silva collected 53 significant strikes (57 total strikes) along with no takedown attempts. […]
