Buccaneers Waive Matt Gay

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have waived kicker Matt Gay. Gay was a top fantasy option at the position last year, connecting on 27 field goals and 43 extra points, and was being drafted like a top kicker heading into 2020. But struggles in camp led to Ryan Succop supplanting him for the job. Succop has […]

Buccaneers Waive Dare Ogunbowale

In the wake of the team's signing of Leonard Fournette, it was clear that some other move was going to happen in this Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield. On Friday, that move happened, as Tampa waived running back Dare Ogunbowale, who led the team's running backs in targets last year. Ogunbowale is an interesting back who […]

Adrian Peterson Released

The Washington Football Team has released veteran running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson had spent the past two seasons in Washington, totaling 1940 yards and 12 touchdowns in 31 games.

The Incendiary Sophomore Ready To Explode: Mecole Hardman

Finding the next breakout player in fantasy football is not always an easy task.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday, and head coach Sean McVay said Kupp was "full-speed" and that he never had any concerns about Kupp's availability for the season opener against the Cowboys. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried at all about selecting Kupp in their fantasy drafts this weekend. […]

Texans Working On Extension For Deshaun Watson

The Houston Texans are working hard with quarterback Deshaun Watson on a new contract extension, and it's likely to be more in line with Russell Wilson's or Aaron Rodgers' deals as opposed to that of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, according to sources. Mahomes recently received a whopping $500 million extension after winning league MVP in […]

Teoscar Hernandez Lifts Jays In Extras

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez propelled his club to victory with a three-run homer in the 10th inning as the Jays defeated the Red Sox 6-2 on Thursday.

Yu Darvish Reclaims Cy Young Form By Limiting Contact

Chicago Cubs right-handed pitcher Yu Darvish has pitched like one of the game’s premier aces this season, having delivered a 310 ERA+ through his first seven starts. It’s not just his traditional statistics that paint the picture that Darvish has reentered the Cy Young conversation, it’s the fact that his Statcast metrics enhance that picture. […]

Expectations High For Matthew Stafford

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's ceiling will be one of the harder-to-read determinations heading into fantasy drafts. The 32-year-old was on pace for 38 touchdowns and 4,000-plus yards last season until a fractured back ended his season. When healthy, Stafford can easily be a top-10 fantasy talent among quarterbacks. But his health status undoubtedly muddies […]

T.J. Hockenson Hoping To Take Next Step

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will be looking to establish himself in the offense early and often in 2020. Hockenson burst on the scene in Week 1 of 2019 with six catches for 131 yards and one touchdown but then produced only 26 receptions for 236 yards and one score in the remaining 11 […]

Mariners To Operate With Six-Man Rotation For Time Being

The Seattle Mariners have had their September schedule thrown in flux after having their series against Oakland postponed this week.

Kerryon Johnson Could Play Big Role Week 1

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson could be in line for a heavy workload Week 1 against the Bears. The Lions drafted rookie D'Andre Swift to be the unquestioned feature back but Swift has missed a majority of training camp with an undisclosed injury. The rookie has returned to the practice field but is being […]
