Cam Dantzler Carted Off Field

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cam Dantzler was carted off the field on Sunday against the Packers. The team says Dantzler has a neck injury and is being evaluated for a concussion. It was a scary hit and a scary moment for Dantzler, whose long term health should be the main concern right now.

Jalen Ramsey Exits Week 8 With Illness

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to an illness. During a season marred by COVID-19, any illness issue is concerning, so hopefully we get some clarity on this situation soon. If Ramsey is unable to return, the Dolphins offense should have some increased production […]

NFL Executives Expect Trevor Lawrence To Enter Draft

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence has recently made comments about staying for his senior year, but multiple NFL executives believe Lawrence will declare for the draft following this season. Lawrence -- who missed Saturday's game after being diagnosed with COVID-19 and will miss next week's game against Notre Dame -- is the clear favorite to go […]

Patriots Will Focus On Run With Cam Newton, Others Against Bills

With their top two wide receivers out and the wind swirling, the New England Patriots reportedly plan to focus on their run game Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. That should mean a lot of rushes for quarterback Cam Newton and running backs Damien Harris, Rex Burkhead, and James White. Newton and Harris should benefit the […]

Corey Davis Has Upside Against Bengals

In Week 7, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught six passes for 35 yards and a touchdown. His yardage totals have been inconsistent all year, but Davis is getting looks and has scored a touchdown in half of his games. He's an interesting WR4 play in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals whose role […]

Marquise Brown Has Tough Week 8 Matchup

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown faces a tough matchup with the Steelers Defense in Week 8. Brown has just one touchdown reception this year and has been shut down at times, like in Week 3 against the Chiefs when he had just two receptions. But Brown has been targeted at least six times in […]

Trent Brown, Bryan Edwards Inactive For Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders right tackle Trent Brown has been activated off of the COVID list, but it appears the team wants to wait another week before getting him back on the field. This will make things tougher for the Raiders in this contest, as Brown's a key part of their offensive line. Wide receiver Bryan […]

Gardner Minshew II Expected To Miss Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is not expected to play next week when the Jaguars take on the Houston Texans. Minshew was already in danger of being benched before his thumb injury, so there's a good chance we're done with Minshew at this point. It's unclear if Mike Glennon or rookie Jake Luton […]

Jordan Howard Healthy Scratch In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard will miss Sunday's meeting with the Rams and is a healthy scratch for the third consecutive game. Howard's future in the league appears to be in doubt as he can't crack the active roster in Miami. Myles Gaskin will get goal-line opportunities again with Howard out and is a […]

Diontae Johnson Officially Active For Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (toe) is officially playing against the Ravens on Sunday. Johnson has been the No. 1 wide receiver in Pittsburgh when healthy this season and we see no reason why that should change this week. The Ravens are a tough matchup, but Johnson is a solid WR2/3 play any time […]

Sam Ficken Inactive, Sergio Castillo To Kick

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken (groin) is out for the team's Week 8 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sergio Castillo will serve as the kicker. Against this Chiefs team, the Jets shouldn't have many scoring chances, so there's no reason to rush out and pick up Castillo to be your fantasy kicker.

Mason Crosby Will Play Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (calf/back) will play on Sunday against the Vikings. Crosby is a reliable kicker who has made all nine of his field goal attempts this season, though there's reason to be worried about starting a kicker in fantasy who isn't at 100 percent this week. Factor in that most of […]

Tyler Higbee Will Play Against Miami

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. There were questions all week about Higbee's availability, but now that he's officially a go, it means that the Rams tight end group becomes a bit of a mess. Higbee hasn't lived up to expectations this year and […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 8

The Week 7 wide receiver matchup article was either feast or famine. Diontae Johnson absolutely crushed it, scoring twice on his way to finish as the No. 3 receiver on the week. Kenny Golladay went over 100 yards and Terry McLaurin scored, finishing as a WR1. On the other side of things, CeeDee Lamb, Gabriel Davis […]

Odell Beckham Jr. May Have Played Final Game For Cleveland

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that there's a "very real possibility" that the Cleveland Browns will move on from wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason. Beckham will miss the rest of 2020 with a torn ACL. If Beckham is indeed done in Cleveland, rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones becomes an intriguing dynasty option moving […]

Bengals Won't Have Guard Michael Jordan In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals left guard Michael Jordan will miss Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Titans with an illness. ESPN's Ben Baby noted that this absence means the Bengals entire Week 1 starting offensive line is now out. That's potentially bad news for this entire Bengals offense, which is also without running back Joe Mixon. If […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 8

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Often, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. Last week, Washington rookie running back Antonio Gibson led his team to victory with a solid performance on the ground. His 128 rushing yards were the most […]

Giants Willing To Trade Golden Tate

The New York Giants are reportedly willing to trade wide receiver Golden Tate, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tate's role in New York is trending down and with the team not looking like contenders -- even in a very weak NFC East -- it would make sense if they moved the veteran receiver. Tate still […]

Texans Fielding Offers For Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, Will Fuller V

The Houston Texans are reportedly listening to trade offers for three of their wide receivers: Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, and Will Fuller V. Houston's crowded wide receiver room has meant limited chances for Stills this year, so moving him somewhere or moving other receivers instead would open up more looks for Stills somewhere. He might […]

Lamar Jackson Still A Top Option In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will be tasked with squaring off against the effective Steelers Defense in Week 8. Despite a decrease in fantasy output in 2020, the signal-caller has possibly the highest ceiling at the position, especially with the options available to him on the offensive side of the ball. In terms of his […]

Washington Not Planning To Trade Ryan Kerrigan

The Washington Football Team does not plan to trade star defensive end Ryan Kerrigan, despite Kerrigan requesting that the team move him. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the four-time Pro Bowl defender wants to be moved after his playing time has decreased. We'll see if the Football Team stays steady with this plan, but if […]

J.K. Dobbins Has Upside In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins will potentially see an expanded role in Week 8 against the Steelers. With Mark Ingram II (ankle) expected to miss a week or more, the rookie will likely split carries with Gus Edwards II against a formidable Pittsburgh defensive unit. Although Edwards could see more carries, Dobbins may do […]

A.J. Brown Ready For Sunday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) has 18 catches for 293 yards and four touchdowns in three games since returning from a knee injury, and the Titans top receiving threat will be looking to keep that touchdown streak going against a Bengals Defense that has been burned for eight passing touchdowns in its last […]

Derrick Henry Poised For Another Big Game

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry draws a favorable matchup against the Bengals in Week 8. Henry has seven rushing touchdowns in his last four games and he should find plenty of room Sunday against a Bengals Defense that's allowing 133.7 rushing yards per game -- fifth-most in the league. He's a sure-fire RB1 and […]

Jamaal Williams To Get The Start Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams will get the start against the division-rival Vikings in Week 8. With Aaron Jones (calf) out of the mix, the veteran will be tasked with taking on a Minnesota defense that has been mediocre against the run all year. Williams, who had 19 carries for 88 yards and […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Xfinity 500

We have one race left in the Round of 8. One final chance to lock up a spot in the four-driver season finale next week at Phoenix. What's going to happen at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday? Who wins? Who gets punted into the wall? Feel free to hit me up on Twitter if you have […]

Mark Ingram II May Miss Multiple Weeks

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) won't play in Week 8 against the Steelers and may also not be available to suit up against the Colts in Week 9. With the veteran battling a high-ankle sprain, an injury that usually requires multiple weeks to improve, fantasy managers may be forced to be without […]
