Eric Ebron A TE2 In Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron disappointed in a plus matchup against the Cleveland Browns last week, finishing with just two catches for nine yards. He will look to make amends in yet another good matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Tennessee's defense has struggled against tight ends this season, allowing the seventh-most […]

Diontae Johnson A WR3 Against Titans

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (back) practiced fully on Wednesday and appears to be trending up ahead of his Week 7 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Johnson left during Week 5 with a back injury and was inactive for Week 6's game against the Cleveland Browns. His ability to practice on Wednesday bodes well […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A WR3 In Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has been overshadowed and out-produced by rookie wideout Chase Claypool over the past few weeks. While Claypool has five touchdowns in his past two games, Smith-Schuster has just six catches for 34 yards over that same span. He draws a tasty Week 7 matchup against a Tennessee Titans pass […]

MLB DFS Cheat Sheet for 10/23/20 (Premium Content)

Game Three will give the series advantage to someone tonight. The pitching matchups feature a budding ace, Walker Buehler, and a craft veteran, Charlie Morton. The regular season has been a bit of a rollercoaster for both these hurlers-a slow start followed by a great deal of success as the innings piled up. The Dodgers […]

Sterling Shepard Activated From Injured Reserve

The New York Giants activated wide receiver Sterling Shepard (toe) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he'll be eligible to play on Thursday night against the Eagles. Shepard was expected to be one of the team's leading receivers in 2020, but he missed the last four games due to turf toe. In the first six […]

Brandon Lowe Breaks Out Of Slump In Big Way

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe hit two home runs -- both to the opposite field after he hit zero opposite-field homers in the regular season -- in the 6-4 World Series victory over the Dodgers in Game 2 on Wednesday. Lowe helped the team snap a major league record of 10 straight games […]

Nationals Re-Sign Josh Harrison

The Washington Nationals re-signed utilityman Josh Harrison to a one-year, $1 million deal on Thursday. Harrison was released by the Phillies in July and latched on with the Nats, hitting .278 with two doubles, three home runs, 14 RBI, six walks and 11 runs scored for Washington. The 33-year-old can make an extra $250,000 in […]

Julio Urias Lined Up To Start Game 4

The Los Angeles Dodgers did not use left-handed pitcher Julio Urias out of the bullpen in the Game 2 World Series loss to the Rays on Wednesday, lining him up to start Game 4 on Saturday. The Dodgers will roll with Walker Buehler, Urias and Clayton Kershaw in Games 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Urias, […]

Andrew Thomas To Start Thursday

The New York Giants plan on using first-round left tackle Andrew Thomas in the starting lineup on Thursday night against the Eagles, according to an informed source. Thomas was benched in the first half of the Week 6 win over the Washington Football Team for violating a team policy, but he will return this week […]

Danielle Hunter To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Minnesota Vikings star defensive end Danielle Hunter (neck) will have season-ending surgery to clean up a herniated disc in his neck. The Vikings will have to decide if they want to make Hunter the highest-paid defender in the league this offseason or trade him away. Minnesota was optimistic in August that Hunter could rehab his […]

Ravens Planning To Sign Dez Bryant

The Baltimore Ravens are planning to sign veteran wide receiver Dez Bryant to their practice squad if his workout goes well and he passes a physical, according to a source. The Ravens worked Bryant out in August, but he is expected to finally land in Baltimore. The 31-year-old is back in the NFL after last […]

Tyrod Taylor Medically Cleared; Could Be Backup In Week 7

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (lung), who has been out around a month with a punctured lung, has been medically cleared, according to a source. Rookie quarterback Justin Herbert has played exceptionally well in Taylor's absence and remains the starter coming out of the bye week, but Taylor could return as the backup in […]

Jarvis Landry Playing Through Broken Rib

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry revealed to reporters on Thursday that he is playing through a broken rib. The Cleveland wideout took a big hit during his team's Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts and had to crawl off the field. He wound up missing just five plays in the eventual win. Landry […]

Ravens Finalizing A Deal For Yannick Ngakoue

The Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings are finalizing a trade on Thursday that would send defensive end Yannick Ngakoue to the Ravens for a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 conditional fifth-round selection, according to sources. The Vikings sent a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 conditional fifth-rounder to the Jaguars to acquire Ngakoue earlier […]

Zach Ertz To Miss 4-6 Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) is expected to miss four to six weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 6 loss to the Ravens. As a result, the Eagles placed him on the short-term Injured Reserve, meaning he'll be eligible to return in Week 10 against the Browns, but he could […]

Alshon Jeffery Tweaks His Calf

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf, foot) was hoping to make his season debut on Thursday night against the Giants, but he was ruled out for Week 7 due to a minor calf strain that he suffered recently. The Eagles are hoping he can ramp himself up and be ready to face the Cowboys […]

Frank Gore Is Tough To Trust

New York Jets running back Frank Gore has taken over the lead-back duties with the departure of Le'Veon Bell. The veteran back has done what he can, but the Jets offensive line doesn't give him much help. He saw 11 carries for 46 yards against the Miami Dolphins last week. Gore is expected to have […]

Ryan Tannehill To Face Tough Steelers Secondary

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is coming off a season-high 364-yard performance and heads into Week 7 with confidence, but he faces a stingy Steelers Defense that allows just 18.8 points per game thus far. Tannehill has thrown multiple touchdowns in 13 of his last 15 regular season starts and his resurgence has continued into […]

Joe Flacco Avoidable In Week 7

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco has started each of the last two games with Sam Darnold (shoulder) sidelined. The veteran quarterback has not been able to do much of anything in his two starts. Luckily, Darnold was practicing on a limited basis on Wednesday, so hopefully he can suit up here. Flacco has not […]

Derrick Henry Faces Tough Steelers Team In Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is coming off three consecutive games with multiple touchdowns and just amassed 264 scrimmage yards in last week's win, so even a tough matchup against a Steelers Defense shouldn't deter fantasy owners from running Henry out as an RB1. Pittsburgh's defense is allowing just 66 rushing yards per game, […]

Sam Darnold A Lousy Option Against Bills

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. That's a good sign that Darnold could return against the Buffalo Bills in Week 7. He has missed each of the last two games with an AC joint sprain. Veteran Joe Flacco has looked horrendous as the starter, […]

Tyler Kroft Expected To Start In Week 7

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft is expected to draw the start against the New York Jets in Week 7. Dawson Knox (calf) was not able to practice on Wednesday and is unlikely to suit up for this one. Kroft hasn't done much this season besides his fluke two touchdown performance in Week 3. He'll […]

Dawson Knox Unlikely To Suit Up In Week 7

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (calf) was unable to suit up for practice on Wednesday. It sounds like the second-year tight end is going to miss his second straight game in Week 7. Knox hasn't been a big part of the offense when he plays, so fantasy owners aren't going to miss much. There […]

Chase Claypool A WR2 In Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool has taken the league by storm in his rookie season. The former Notre Dame standout has found the end zone six times through his first five NFL games. He will face off against a burnable Tennessee Titans secondary on the road in Week 7. Tennessee's pass defense ranks 24th […]

James Conner An RB1 In Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is off to an excellent start this season. The veteran running back has now found the end zone in four straight games while also reaching at least 100 rushing yards three times. Conner will take on the Tennessee Titans on the road in Week 7 in a decent matchup […]
