Alex Bregman Caps Off Strong ALDS With Two Hits

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-4 with one walk and two runs scored as the Astros advance to the ALCS after defeating the A's 11-6 on Thursday. It seems ironic that Bregman has taken a back seat to the offensive production of teammates Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa but the dynamic MVP-type player […]

Zack Greinke's Playoff Woes Continue

Houston Astros starter Zack Greinke struggled again, lasting only 4 2/3 innings while allowing four runs on five hits in the Astros 11-6 win over the A's in Game 4 of the ALDS. The Astros advance but have to be concerned with their veteran ace, who is sporting a 5.19 ERA in the playoffs thus […]

Jose Altuve Homers Again As Astros Advance

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve went 1-for-3 with one home run, two walks and three runs scored as the Astros beat the A's 11-6 to advance to the ALCS. A miserable regular season is in the rearview mirror after Altuve slashed .400/.526/.800 in the four-game series with two home runs, five runs scored and […]

Carlos Correa Explodes With Five RBI

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa went 3-for-5 with one home run and five runs batted in as the Astros knocked out the A's 11-6 to advance to the ALCS.

Darnell Mooney Held To Two Receptions

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught only two passes for 15 yards in the Bears thrilling 20-19 win over the Buccaneers in Week 5. The speedy rookie has been a surprise contributor on offense but was not able to do much with the five targets he saw. He did break free and had a […]

Anthony Miller Posts Only 28 Yards In Week 5

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller caught four passes for only 28 yards in the Bears 20-19 win over the Buccaneers. It wasn't a total disappearing act from the talented receiver as he came up with a huge reception for a first down late in the game to set up a game-winning field goal. But […]

David Montgomery Held To 59 Total Yards In Win

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery totaled only 28 rushing yards but caught seven passes for 30 yards in the Bears comeback win over the Buccaneers in Week 5. The ground game was tough sledding throughout as the second-year back could do little with his 10 carries. Montgomery, however, came up with some big catches […]

Jimmy Graham Makes Sensational Touchdown Catch

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham caught three passes for 33 yards and one touchdown in the Bears 20-19 victory over the Buccaneers in Week 5. Graham was at it again, this time making a fantastic, one-handed snag for a 12-yard score to finish off the first half. The veteran now has four touchdown receptions […]

Allen Robinson II Delivers 10 Catches In Week 5

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II caught 10 passes for 90 yards in the team's 20-19 win over the Buccaneers to kick off Week 5. Robinson once again had a 50/50 ball broken up that resulted in an interception but otherwise had a stellar game. He saw a team-high 16 targets and there were […]

Nick Foles Leads Bears To Game-Winning Field Goal

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles completed 30 of 42 passes for 243 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Bears 20-19 comeback win over the Buccaneers in Week 5. Foles overcame a disastrous first quarter to provide the type of leadership and big-game throws that the Bears quarterback position has been lacking. Foles' lone […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tyler Johnson finished the Week 5 loss to Chicago with four receptions for 61 yards on six targets. The 2020 fifth-round pick stepped up with Chris Godwin and Justin Watson out due to injuries. Johnson did not record anything in the previous four games, meaning he is well off the […]

Cameron Brate Puts Up 44 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate posted five receptions for 44 yards on six targets in Week 5. With O.J. Howard now out for the season and the WRs hobbled, Brate stepped up and posted his best totals of the season. Nevertheless, managers should wait and see if Brate can develop some consistency before […]

Rob Gronkowski Gains 52 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski grabbed three receptions for 52 yards on six targets during the Week 5 loss to the Bears. With the Tampa WRs injured, Gronk stepped up and posted his most yards of the season so far. Whether the tight end can keep up this production when the receivers are […]

Mike Evans Scores Touchdown In Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans finished the Week 5 loss to the Bears with five receptions for 41 yards and a score on a team-leading nine targets. Despite entering the game hobbled with an ankle injury, Evans provided fantasy value with the touchdown he scored. The WR is a fantasy WR1 most weeks […]

Ronald Jones II Rushes For 100 Yards In Second Straight Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II finished Thursday's loss with 17 carries for 106 yards and three receptions for 19 yards on five targets. It was the second straight 100-yard game for Jones and he faced no competition for carries even with Leonard Fournette active this game. It's now becoming clear Jones is […]

Tom Brady Throws For 253 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 25-for-41 for 253 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night loss to the Bears. It was a tough night for the QB against a ferocious Bears Defense and it didn't help that his receiving corp came in injured. Nevertheless, the QB has been serviceable this season in […]

Aroldis Chapman Collects First Postseason Save This Year

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman picked up a four-out save against the Rays on Thursday, striking out two and allowing one baserunner. Chapman used his slider sparingly on Thursday with his sinker (two pitches) and splitter (one pitch) combining to account for more of his total pitches than his slider (two pitches), but the […]

Gleyber Torres Stays Hot On Thursday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and his second home run of the postseason against the Rays on Thursday, giving the 23-year-old a 1.009 OPS through six postseason games this year. Lower body injuries and a slow start to the regular season left Torres with a middling .724 OPS […]

Luke Voit Hits First Career Postseason Home Run

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit went 1-for-4 with a home run against the Rays on Thursday. Voit had yet to hit a home run in the postseason coming into Thursday’s game, but the reigning MLB home run leader clubbed a 453-foot blast to end that streak. Even with that performance, Voit was unlucky […]

Jordan Montgomery Holds Rays To One Run On Thursday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery pitched well on Thursday, holding the Rays to one run over four innings with four strikeouts. Montgomery was in and out of trouble all night with six baserunners allowed, but some timely outs allowed the 27-year-old to escape with limited damage. The Yankees pulled Montgomery after only 62 […]

Golden Tate Has Good Matchup At Dallas

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate has struggled thus far in 2020 but has a good matchup in Week 5 at the Cowboys. Tate has just 14 catches for 103 yards in three games and has not scored a touchdown. Dallas, however, has been bad on defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing […]

Darius Slayton Looking To Break Slump Versus Dallas

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has been quiet for fantasy managers after a huge Week 1 performance, but he will look to bounce back in a good matchup versus the Cowboys. Slayton had 100-plus yards and two touchdowns in the first game of the season but has made just three catches in each […]

Giants Defense Not A Fantasy Option In Week 5

The New York Giants Defense faces a brutal matchup in Week 5 and should not be started in fantasy. New York is among the worst teams in the league at forcing turnovers and now face a Cowboys offense that is the only team in the NFL to rack up 2,000 yards so far this season […]
