D.K. Metcalf Should Bounce Back In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf had a brutal Week 7 against Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, but he's poised for a bounce-back performance in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers. He's gone over 90 yards in five out of six games this season and he's scored a touchdown in four out of his […]

No Practice For Phillip Lindsay Wednesday

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday. An independent neurologist is expected to determine whether Lindsay will be able to play in Week 8 against the Chargers.

Peter Malnati Has Posted Consecutive Top-Five Finishes

A second-place finish at the Sanderson Farms mixed with his fifth-place showing at the Shriners Open has Peter Malnati scorching as he enters this week's Bermuda Championship. Malnati's success can be tied into his improvement over his last 24 rounds with his irons, as he ranks 18th compared to the field in that category. While […]

Joe Mixon Held Out Of Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. The Bengals continue to say that Mixon is day-to-day, but everything else points to him being week-to-week and highly questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Titans. As of now, there's a good chance that Mixon will be questionable for Week […]

Russell Wilson Is A QB1 Again In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is currently second in scoring on the year and he'll be looking to keep rolling in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers. He's averaging over 30 fantasy points per game through six games and he's surrounded by outstanding weapons. The 49ers are going to be a tougher test than […]

Mark Ingram II Misses Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Ingram injured his ankle in Week 6 and had the Week 7 bye to heal up, but he's still in danger of missing his second straight game. A questionable tag could be coming this weekend against the Steelers, a team […]

Cameron Tringale Looks To Keep Cylinders Clicking

It has been a hot run for Cameron Tringale since the 3M Open, posting four made cuts in his last five tournaments. That streak doesn't include his disqualification at the PGA Championship in August, but the American has turned all four of those made cuts into top-40 finishes. The 172nd-ranked player in the world is […]

Sergio Romo's 2021 Option Not Picked Up

The Minnesota Twins declined relief pitcher Sergio Romo's $5 million 2021 option on Wednesday, making him a free agent, according to sources. The Twins will give Romo a $250,000 buyout.

Paul Goldschmidt Has Surgery On Right Elbow

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (elbow) had a bone spur removed from his right elbow, and general manager John Mozeliak said that Goldschmidt is progressing well. The right-handed power bat played 58 of a possible 60 games during the 2020 regular season and batted .304 with an .883 OPS, so his elbow clearly […]

Rams Defense A Strong Option In Week 8

The Los Angeles Rams Defense has been playing good football all year, and they have the potential for another strong game in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are starting rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the first time, and the Rams defense will be aggressive to try and force him to make mistakes. […]

Cardinals Decline Kolten Wong's 2021 Option

The St. Louis Cardinals declined second baseman Kolten Wong's $12.5 million option on Wednesday, making him a free agent. The 30-year-old will receive a $1 million buyout.

Younghoe Koo A Great Starter For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid start this week against the Panthers. On the season, Koo has gone 15-for-16 on field goals, including going 4-for-4 just two weeks ago. He also has gone 13-for-15 in extra points. The Panthers offer a favorable matchup for kickers, so Koo is a great player to start.

Panthers Defense Shouldn't Be Started In Week 8

The Carolina Panthers Defense faces off with the Atlanta Falcons for the second and final time this season. The Week 8 matchup features a Falcons' offense averaging 26.3 points per game, led by quarterback Matt Ryan. Atlanta hasn't been particularly forgiving to opposing fantasy defenses this year- and the Panthers defense isn't streaming material. Leave […]

Falcons Defense Not A Viable Fantasy Option

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should stay well off the fantasy radar this week against the Panthers. This unit has largely been the culprit for the Falcons losing so many games and last week they allowed the Lions to score a game-winning touchdown at the literal last seconds. They have also allowed at least 23 points […]

Rockies Buy Out Daniel Murphy

The Colorado Rockies declined infielder Daniel Murphy's $12 million option on Wednesday, ending his two-year stint with the organization and making him a free agent. The 35-year-old will receive a $6 million buyout. Murphy hit a disappointing .269 with 16 home runs and 94 RBI in 172 games with the Rockies the last two seasons […]

Joey Slye A Decent Option

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye faces a decent matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8 on Thursday night. Slye has made at least three field goals in two of his last three games and faces an Atlanta defense that has allowed an average of about eight fantasy points per game to opposing kickers. There are […]

Hayden Hurst A High-End TE2 For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is a high-end TE2 for this week. Hurst has now had five games out of seven in which he has gotten at least 38 yards and his role is generally decent. Last week, the TE had six receptions for 68 yards on seven targets. The Panthers are a tougher […]

Nats Decline Options On Adam Eaton, Anibal Sanchez, Others

The Washington Nationals declined club options for the 2021 season on outfielder Adam Eaton and right-hander Anibal Sanchez, making them free agents.

Sanchez's option […]

Russell Gage A Flex Play

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage could serve as a flex play for your team in Week 8. Gage has now posted decent numbers the past two games after going through a three-game slump. The WR had six receptions for 54 yards on seven targets last week. He's someone you can insert this week if […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a WR1 for Thursday night's clash with the division-rival Panthers. Ridley posted five receptions for 69 yards and a score on seven targets last week, which is low by his standards. Although the wide receiver has cooled off a bit since going over 100 yards in four of […]

Ian Thomas Not A Recommended Starter

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas faces the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8. The matchup has been great for opposing tight ends, as Atlanta has surrendered the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. However, Thomas has just 50 receiving yards on the season and only three targets in his last three contests combined. It […]

Julio Jones A WR1 In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is a WR1 this Thursday against Carolina. Jones has seen his usual targets and has posted his usual numbers the past two weeks after coming back from an injury. Last week, the WR had eight receptions for 97 yards on nine targets. Though the Panthers allow the fifth-fewest points […]

Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB1

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a low-end RB1 against a Carolina team allowing the fourth-most points to fantasy RBs. Gurley has seen at least 14 carries and 47 rushing yards in all seven games and has gotten over 55 rushing yards in six of seven games. Last time these two teams played, […]

Gerald Everett Has A Tough Matchup In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett was the team's lead option during Week 7 and he had a solid outing. However, in Week 8, things could get really messy against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are currently the second-best team against the tight end position and they're allowing just 4.2 fantasy points per game […]

Curtis Samuel A Risky Starter

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel isn't the strongest start in Week 8 despite a great matchup against the Falcons. Atlanta's defense has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, though Samuel is a clear third fiddle to fellow wideouts Robby Anderson and D.J. Moore. On the positive side, he has […]

Antonio Brown Looks Fantastic In First Workout

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Antonio Brown "looked fantastic" in his first workout with the team on Wednesday. Brown will be eligible to make his season debut in Week 9 against the Saints after serving an eight-game suspension for multiple violations of the NFL's personal-conduct policy. He was only […]

Denny McCarthy Has Ideal Settings To Find Success

Priced at $9,500 on DraftKings, Denny McCarthy brings with him a complete onslaught of what you would be hoping to find at the Bermuda Championship. The American finds Bermuda greens to be his best putting surface, he typically gains more strokes compared to the field at softer tests and we see his overall numbers improve […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Carolina

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 on Thursday against the Panthers. Ryan posted 338 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Lions and has tossed for over 300 yards in the past two games. Though the Panthers allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points to QBs, Atlanta's effectiveness on offense is […]

Robert Woods Could Struggle Again In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods had a terrible matchup in Week 7, and things don't get much easier in Week 8. The Miami Dolphins feature two outstanding starting cornerbacks in Byron Jones and Xavien Howard, and Woods is expected to see Howard for the majority of his snaps. Howard is currently the ninth-best […]

Chris Godwin's Timetable Up In The Air

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) could be back in Week 9, but the team still doesn't know when he'll return. "I think it's very optimistic that he'll be back in a week, but it could be possible. We don't know, really, how long. Again, that's why […]
