Keenan Allen Looks To Continue Strong Season In Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen will look to keep producing against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. Allen has been a target machine for quarterback Justin Herbert and enters Sunday with 44 receptions, 481 yards and a pair of touchdowns over the first six games of the season. Allen has been heavily featured […]

Mike Williams Remains An Inconsistent Option At Wide Receiver

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will look to get back on track in Week 8 against the Broncos. Williams is fully healthy after dealing some injuries earlier in the season, but he has been inconsistent on the season. The big receiver only had one catch for four yards in Week 7, but has […]

White Sox Decline Options On Edwin Encarnacion, Gio Gonzalez

The Chicago White Sox declined 2021 options on designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion ($12 million) and left-hander Gio Gonzalez ($7 million) on Friday, making them both free agents. Encarnacion's deal didn't include a buyout, while Gonzalez will receive $500,000. Chicago also exercised their $3.5 million option on utilityman Leury Garcia on Friday. Encarnacion, 37, hit just […]

Joshua Kelley Should Be Avoided In Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley will look to get his season back on track in Week 8 versus a stingy Denver Broncos Defense that has allowed just 90 yards per game to opposing runners. Kelley has really struggled over his last three games and has been splitting work with Justin Jackson in […]

Justin Jackson Has Tough Matchup In Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson will have a tough task in Week 8 versus a tough Denver Broncos run defense. Jackson has been the starter with Austin Ekeler (hamstring) sidelined, but he has been splitting the backfield work with rookie Joshua Kelley. Jackson only picked up five carries for 12 yards in Week […]

Indians Pick Up Roberto Perez's Option

The Cleveland Indians decided to pick up catcher Roberto Perez's $5.5 million team option for the 2021 season on Friday. Perez has been excellent for the Tribe while handling one of the American League's best pitching staffs. A shoulder injury likely had something to do with Perez hitting just .165 with one home run and […]

Justin Herbert Looks To Continue Strong Rookie Campaign

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert will look to keep his strong debut season going against the Denver Broncos in a Week 8 battle on Sunday. Herbert picked up his first victory versus the Jaguars in Week 7 and looked brilliant in doing so. The Broncos Defense has been playing very of late and […]

Brad Hand, Carlos Santana, Domingo Santana Become Free Agents

The Cleveland Indians declined 2021 options on relief pitcher Brad Hand ($10 million), first baseman Carlos Santana ($17.5 million) and outfielder Domingo Santana ($5 million) on Friday, making them free agents. Hand will receive a $500,000 buyout and the Santanas will each receive $250,000. The 30-year-old Hand led baseball with 16 saves this year, but […]

Cubs Likely To Pick Up Anthony Rizzo's Option

The Chicago Cubs are likely to pick up first baseman Anthony Rizzo's $16.5 million option for the 2021 season before the Sunday deadline, according to sources. The Cubs did the same for the 31-year-old before last season, picking up a similar $16.5 million option for 2020. Rizzo continues to be a stalwart at first base […]

Cubs Decline Jon Lester's Option

The Chicago Cubs declined starting pitcher Jon Lester's $25 million team option on Friday, making him a free agent. The 36-year-old southpaw was at the end of his six-year, $155 million deal with the Cubs, but he could still return on a lesser deal. Lester will receive a $10 million buyout. The three-time World Series […]

Carlos Hyde Doubtful For Week 8

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (hamstring) didn't practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the 49ers. It's a shame that he won't be active since both Chris Carson (foot) and Travis Homer (knee) are also injured and are questionable for Sunday. Rookie DeeJay Dallas is the only healthy back […]

Chris Carson, Jamal Adams Questionable Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) and All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (groin, illness) are questionable for Week 8 against the 49ers. No. 3 running back Travis Homer (knee) is also questionable. Carson is a true game-time decision on Sunday.

Kyrie Irving Completely Recovered From Surgery

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has reportedly completely recovered from the right shoulder procedure that cost him most of the 2019-2020 season. He was only able to play in 20 games, but looked good when he was on the court. His fantasy value should be on the rise now that he is healthy and has […]

Pacers Interested In Keeping Justin Holiday

Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holiday is set to hit the open market this winter. The organization has made it clear that they want to keep Holiday around going forward. The two sides have already spoken, but free agency is most likely still a few weeks away. Holiday should receive plenty of offers after the year […]

Clippers Showing Interest In Rajon Rondo

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo is expected to decline his $2.7 million player option for next season. It sounds like the rival Los Angeles Clippers are expected to show interest in the veteran guard. Reggie Jackson is set to be a free agent and Rondo would be a huge upgrade over him. Patrick Beverley […]

Mike Gesicki Is A Headache To Own Right Now

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has put together two reliable performances through the first six games of the season. Honestly, fantasy owners have absolutely no clue when Gesicki is about to go off. He finished with five receptions for 91 yards in Week 5 matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers. A respectable secondary that […]

Adam Shaheen Might See Higher Usage

Miami Dolphins tight end Adam Shaheen (shoulder) has pretty much gone unnoticed in fantasy leagues until Week 6. He hauled in all three of his targets for 51 yards and one touchdown in the victory over the New York Jets. The team recently signed Shaheen to a new two-year $7.6 million deal. Clearly, the Dolphins […]

Preston Williams A Possible Deep League Option

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has 12 total receptions through the first six games of the regular season. Luckily, he has held some fantasy value because he has been able to haul in three touchdowns. Although, Williams won't have a favorable matchup ahead of him against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. The […]

DeVante Parker Holds Low-End WR3 Value

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (groin) remained limited during Thursday's practice, which isn't a great sign. However, Parker has already been playing at less than 100 percent, so he'll likely fight through the pain. Sadly, Parker could be in for a rough week in fantasy leagues. He's already banged up and will have to […]

Matt Breida A Shaky Option In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida was expected to have a significant role in the backfield this season, but that hasn't been the case. Breida has not seen more than nine carries in a single game this season. That is unlikely going to change with Myles Gaskin playing well for Miami. Maybe the change at […]

Myles Gaskin Remains PPR Flex Option

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has become the clear-cut lead back for this offense. He rushed the ball 18 times for 91 yards in the Week 6 victory over the New York Jets. Gaskin is used both in the passing attack and the running game, which makes him a favorable option in PPR leagues. […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Challenge Ahead

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was surprisingly named the starter for the Week 8 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. This is quite odd timing since the team is 3-3 and was playing well with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. Regardless, Tagovailoa was always the future of the team. It's tough to predict what kind of […]

Phillies Decline Option On Hector Neris, Other Relievers

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris had his $7 million club option for the 2021 season declined and will face arbitration for the second straight season. Philadelphia also declined club options on relievers David Robertson and David Phelps as it has become clear the team is set on trimming payroll after the pandemic-shortened season. Neris […]

Joe Mixon To Miss Another Game

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Titans. It will be Mixon's second straight missed game for his fantasy managers. Cincinnati is playing it safe with their leading rusher with their bye coming in Week 9. Backup Giovani Bernard should once […]

Miles Sanders Ruled Out Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) has been ruled out for the Sunday night game against the division-rival Cowboys in Week 8. Sanders will now miss his second straight game after going down with a knee injury in Week 6 against the Ravens. Make sure he's removed from all starting lineups this weekend. Backup […]

Marquez Callaway Won't Play Against Bears

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Marquez Callaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Callaway suffered an ankle injury in his Week 7 breakout with both Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders sidelined. The undrafted rookie caught eight passes for 75 yards in the win over the Panthers. Expect […]

Chris Thompson Activated From COVID-19 List

The Jacksonville Jaguars activated running back Chris Thompson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Thompson will be ready to return in Week 9 against the Texans following the team's bye this week. The 30-year-old has been an afterthought in Jacksonville's backfield behind James Robinson, rushing the ball just six times for 17 yards. However, he's […]
