Ronald Jones II An RB3 For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is still the RB1 in Tampa after the team signed Leonard Fournette last week, but the back should be considered an RB3 for this week in fantasy. Jones must prove he is capable of shouldering the load as the RB1 with Fournette vying for that role while […]

Ken Giles Throws Live Batting Practice Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Ken Giles (forearm) threw a successful live batting practice on Tuesday afternoon. Assuming there are no setbacks, Giles could potentially return to the team on the weekend. The 29-year-old has not appeared in a game since July 26, but he could be a worthwhile fantasy addition if he goes back to […]

Ryan Succop Should Be Avoided In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop should be avoided in the Week 1 matchup against the Saints. New Orleans allowed the eighth-fewest points to the position last year, and it will be the kicker's first game with a new team, as he just signed with Tampa a week ago. Last season, Succop only appeared in […]

Daniel Murphy Sitting On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ryan McMahon is shifting over to cover first base while Garrett Hampson is getting the start at second base. This will be the second time in the past three games that Murphy is on the bench, […]

Austin Ekeler Remains Elite Dual-Threat Weapon

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is the unquestioned No. 1 option in the Chargers backfield ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Daniel Popper of The Athletic recently mentioned that Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley could also see a handful of touches in the offense, but there is no doubt that […]

Chris Godwin Is A WR1 In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is coming off a breakout season in 2019 where he finished as the second-best fantasy wideout. This was with Jameis Winston at quarterback, so the addition of Tom Brady is another plus for the receiver. Godwin and Mike Evans enter 2020 atop the Bucs WR depth chart, but […]

Mike Evans A Solid WR1 For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has only had 1,000-yard seasons in his NFL career, and the addition of quarterback Tom Brady only helps his value for 2020. With a stacked Tampa offense this season, Evans' role is still big enough for him to sustain his fantasy value. Despite their generally sturdy defense, the Saints […]

Trea Turner On A Six-Game Hitting Streak

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner is off to a great start in September. He's recorded hits in six straight games, including two home runs. On the year, Turner is slashing .362/.413/.626 with nine home runs, five stolen bases and 34 runs. He's certainly returning significant value in rotisserie and head-to-head categories leagues for anyone who […]

Sony Michel Expected To Be Eased Back From Injury

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (foot) will likely be eased back into the mix ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Michel has only practiced for the last two weeks after undergoing offseason foot surgery. While he is expected to suit up for Week 1, it seems apparent that the […]

Rob Gronkowski A Low-End TE1 In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski should be considered a low-end TE1 for this week's matchup against the Saints. The talented tight end will be playing his first game since the 2018 Super Bowl, which was over one and a half years ago. Naturally, he may be shaking off some rust. Though it's a […]

Buccaneers Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 1

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense will face a stiff test in Week 1 against the division-rival Saints at the Superdome. Last year, the Bucs had a notoriously weak secondary, which many quarterbacks targeted. This season, the biggest concern on this defense is still in the secondary, as the team has young cornerbacks in Carlton Davis […]

Devante Parker Returns To Practice Tuesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (undisclosed) returned to practice on Tuesday, which bodes well for his chances of playing against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Parker has been dealing with a minor injury and was spotted wearing a compression sleeve on his thigh/hamstring area. The 27-year-old is the unquestioned WR1 on the Dolphins' […]

Joc Pederson Expected To Return On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson, who is currently expecting his second child with his wife, was placed on the team's paternity list on Tuesday. Shortly after the move, manager Dave Roberts announced that he expected Pederson would rejoin the team on Saturday when the Dodgers open up a two-game series against the Houston Astros. […]

Brandin Cooks Absent From Practice Tuesday

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quad) was not seen at the team's practice on Tuesday, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. The 26-year-old was limited at practice on Monday, and this does not bode well for his chances of playing in Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. More will be known about […]

Jake Cronenworth Not In The Lineup On Tuesday

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The rookie has been a mainstay in the lineup this year and this will be his first day off since August 13. Greg Garcia is getting the start at second base in his place. Cronenworth […]

Breshad Perriman Starting To Feel Better

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee) is reportedly "feeling a lot better," according to head coach Adam Gase. The 26-year-old is presumed to return to practice soon, and the hope is that he can suit up for Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills. Regardless, Perriman has not practiced since late August due to […]

Nick Ahmed Heads To The Bench On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Walker Buehler and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Josh Rojas is covering Ahmed's shortstop post for the day. Ahmed has been a mainstay in the lineup all year and was certainly due for an off day. He got off to a […]

Renato Nunez Returns To The Lineup On Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Renato Nunez (hamstring) missed the team's past two games while dealing with a hamstring issue, but he's back in the lineup against the New York Mets on Tuesday. Nunez is playing designated hitter and hitting third in the game. It's been a solid year for Nunez, who has a slash line […]

Travis Kelce Practices In Full Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice after being limited on Monday. Kelce was never in doubt to miss Thursday's season opener against the Houston Texans, but it is nice to see him back to complete health. The 30-year-old is coming off of his fourth-straight season with […]

Brandon Nimmo Out Of Starting Lineup On Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is heading to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Jeff McNeil is slotting in at Nimmo's typical leadoff spot while Jake Marisnick is covering center field in the game. Nimmo is off to a hot start in September, slashing .348/.400/.478. On the year, he has six […]

Gary Sanchez Returns To The Lineup On Tuesday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after sitting on the bench for the team's past two games. Sanchez has had a dreadful year, hitting just .130 with 48 strikeouts in 100 at-bats. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, it's hard to get away from him, given his upside […]

Avisail Garcia Back In Lineup On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring), who missed the team's past three games while dealing with a hamstring injury, is back in the lineup on Tuesday, hitting sixth and playing center field. Garcia hasn't made too much noise this year, slashing .224/.331/.336 with just two home runs and 11 RBI. His OPS of .667 this […]

Corey Knebel Activated From Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers have activated relief pitcher Corey Knebel (hamstring) from the injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Knebel was placed on the injured list nearly three weeks ago while dealing with a strained hamstring. Knebel struggled mightily prior to his injury this year, allowing seven earned runs in just 6 […]

Marlins Recall Jordan Yamamoto

The Miami Marlins recalled pitcher Jordan Yamamoto from their alternate site and optioned first baseman Lewin Diaz on Tuesday. Yamamoto has struggled in his three starts with the club this year, allowing 11 runs in just 8 2/3 innings. He showed some promise last year with a 4.46 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 15 starts, […]

Patrick Mahomes Has Been Great In Chiefs Losses

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a 108.2 passer rating in games that the Chiefs have lost, including the playoffs, in his time as a starter the last two full seasons. His passer rating for all games, including the playoffs, sits at 108.6. In Mahomes' 36 career starts, including the postseason, the Chiefs are […]

Adalberto Mondesi Hitting Second On Tuesday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi is hitting second in the lineup in Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. It'll be the first time Mondesi has hit higher than seventh in the lineup since August 11 and the first time he's hit second since July 31. Mondesi is slashing just .200/.226/.273. However, he's off to […]

Dion Waiters Doubtful For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 3 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. He has played a total of eight minutes in this series, so losing Waiters won't hurt too much. Rajon Rondo looked fantastic last game and would probably take most of his minutes anyway. Rondo could […]

Tyler Herro Downgraded To Questionable

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as probable, but it appears he has a slight downgrade now. It doesn't sound like anything serious, but fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off just in case. Andre Iguodala and Kendrick […]

Kelly Olynyk Remains Questionable For Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as questionable last game and only ended up playing 10 minutes. It sounds like Olynyk is a risky DFS option even if he does suit up for this one. Andre Iguodala would likely benefit […]
