Kyle Busch Starts Ninth At Martinsville

Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch will fire off from the ninth position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Busch finally got off the schneid and collected his first Cup victory of the 2020 season, winning at Texas. Busch has had some success at Martinsville, scoring two wins and 16 top-five finishes in 30 starts. […]

Bubba Wallace A Nice Sleeper Pick For Martinsville

Richard Petty Motorsports driver Bubba Wallace will roll off from the 32nd position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Wallace comes into Martinsville after a rough 38th-place finish at Texas, where he was caught up in an accident just laps into the restart after the three-day rain delay. In five Cup starts at Martinsville, […]

Tevin Coleman Activated Off IR

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (knee) has been activated off the IR and will be available for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Coleman last played in Week 2 against the Jets, where he suffered a knee sprain that kept him out until now. It's anyone's guess as to who leads this backfield after […]

A.J. Green A WR3 With Upside Against Titans

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green will face the Titans in Week 8 fresh off two of his best games of the season. Green has at least 80 receiving yards in two straight games and has seen 24 targets over the last couple of weeks. That's elite-level volume that he may not be able to […]

Latavius Murray An RB3 Against Bears

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray gets a seemingly tough matchup against the Bears in Week 8. Chicago has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to running backs but ranks 23rd in the NFL against the run. Murray has seen at least 10 touches in all but one game this season and could see some […]

Joe Burrow A Solid QB1 In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow gets a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Titans in Week 8. Burrow is coming off the best game of his young career, with 406 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception against Cleveland. Tennessee ranks 18th in fantasy points allowed to enemy passers, though they've allowed at least 250 passing yards […]

Brad Keselowski Starts On Pole At Martinsville

Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski will start from the pole position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Keselowski comes to the half-mile track in Virginia, looking to solidify his spot in the championship race. Keselowski has a decent points cushion but will need to run well in case a driver currently below the cutline wins […]

Julian Edelman Moved To Injured Reserve

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) has been placed on the Injured Reserve. Edelman had surgery on his knee and is expected to miss at least the next three games, though head coach Bill Belichick seemed optimistic about the veteran receiver returning at some point before the end of the season. It's safe […]

Sterling Shepard Expected To Play Against Tampa Bay

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (shoulder, toe) doesn't have an injury designation and will take the field heading into a tough matchup against the Buccaneers. Shepard was limited all week in practice after sustaining a turf toe injury in Week 7 against Philadelphia in addition to the shoulder ailment- though he's evidently shown […]

Rob Gronkowski, Scotty Miller Good To Go

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (shoulder) and wide receiver Scotty Miller (hip, groin) are both good to go for Monday night against the Giants. Both Gronkowski and Miller were limited on Thursday and Friday of this week, though they have no injury designations after both were full participants on Saturday. Without Chris Godwin […]

Stephon Gilmore Out Against Bills

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore (knee) is out for a key Week 8 divisional clash against the Bills. There was a glimmer of hope on Thursday when Gilmore was able to get a limited practice session in, though Friday's DNP made his status for Sunday grim. New England doesn't have much depth behind last […]

Devonta Freeman Ruled Out For Week 8

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This was expected, as Freeman was not able to take the practice field all week. He suffered the injury during the Giants' Week 7 contest against the Eagles on Thursday night, though the added time […]

Broncos Expect Phillip Lindsay To Play Against Chargers

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Phillip Lindsay (concussion) will go for one more post-concussion evaluation on Saturday, but the team expects him to play in Week 8 against the Chargers, barring a setback in that test. It's bad news for Melvin Gordon, who will now share touches in the backfield […]

Andy Dalton Officially Out For Sunday Night

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton (concussion) has been downgraded from doubtful to out for the Sunday night game against the division-rival Eagles in Week 8. This was the expectation all along after Dalton was unable to clear the concussion protocol or practice all week. Owner Jerry Jones thinks that the signal-caller will be ready to […]

Jimmie Johnson Looks To Win Final Race At Martinsville

Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson will start from the 27th position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Johnson comes into Martinsville after some rough luck at Texas, where he blew an engine while having a solid top-10 run. The final season for the seven-time Cup champion has been filled with misfortune, but if there […]

Buccaneers Defense An Elite Option In Week 8

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense has been one of the best options for fantasy this year. They get their juiciest matchup of the year in Week 8 against the Giants, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses. The Giants' offensive line ranks dead-last in adjusted sack rate while Tampa Bay's defensive front […]

Nick Castellanos Will Return In 2021

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos will not opt out of the remainder of his four-year, $64 million deal, meaning that he will return to the Reds in 2021. Castellanos slashed .340/.411/.840 with seven home runs over his first 14 games for Cincy in 2020, but he finished the shortened season by hitting just .225 with […]

Ryan Succop A Good Play Against Giants

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop makes for a good play in a Week 8 matchup against the New York Giants. Succop has made at least five kicks in four straight games and has at least five extra points in two straight. There's no reason to doubt Tampa Bay's offense against the Giants, even though […]

Alshon Jeffery Ruled Out For Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) has been ruled out for Week 8's Sunday night matchup with the division-rival Cowboys. Jeffery still has yet to make his 2020 season debut and missed practice all week. The 30-year-old miss the start of the season after having offseason foot surgery, but the calf injury is what's […]

Rob Gronkowski A Solid Starting Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski faces a semi-tough matchup in Week 8 against the Giants. Gronkowski has at least six targets and 50 yards receiving in each of his last three contests and has scored a touchdown in two straight games. The Giants are not the soft spot they used to be for […]

Denny Hamlin Goes For Sixth Win At Martinsville

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin will start from the fourth position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Hamlin comes into Martinsville needing a solid run despite his amazing 2020 season, as a win from someone currently in the bottom half of the playoff grid race can put Hamlin in a tight spot. Fortunately, Hamlin […]

Damien Harris Questionable To Play Sunday

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the division-rival Bills. Harris was a limited practice participant all week, so he should be able to suit up on Sunday against Buffalo, barring any setbacks. New England will need as much help as possible from their backfield this […]

Tyler Johnson Has Some Sleeper Appeal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tyler Johnson will take the place of the injured Chris Godwin (finger) in Week 8 against the Giants. Johnson got the start in Week 5, playing a season-high 79 percent of the snaps and putting up a 4-61-0 line. With Brady currently rolling, it's fair to consider starting a player […]

Bryan Edwards Questionable Against Browns

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Bryan Edwards (ankle, foot) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Browns. Edwards was limited in practice all week, so he definitely has a chance to return for the first time since Week 3. The third-rounder has caught five of his six targets for 99 yards in […]

Mo Alie-Cox Questionable For Week 8

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (knee) and center Ryan Kelly (knee) are both questionable for Week 8 against the Lions. Alie-Cox didn't practice on Wednesday, but he was limited both Thursday and Friday. He sat out of the team's Week 6 game and rested up during the bye last week. The 27-year-old has a […]
