Robert Covington Should Play In Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington (face) is expected to be available for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Fantasy owners should check […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Will Be WR3/4 Option Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. will have a tough first test in Week 1 against a talented Bears Defense.

Kenny Golladay Is Matchup-Proof In Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay will look to get his season off on the right foot against a tough Bears Defense in Week 1. Golladay posted a career-high 1,190 yards with 11 touchdowns even as the Lions had a revolving door at quarterback due to injuries. His Week 1 matchup on paper seems unappealing […]

Mike Evans Could Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Mike Evans is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, and he could be a game-time decision on Sunday in Week 1 against the division-rival Saints.

Jimmy Graham Has Sleeper Value Against Lions

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will have a fantastic matchup Week 1 against the Lions.

Anthony Miller Has Favorable Week 1 Matchup

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will have a chance to get his season off to a strong start with a favorable matchup against the Lions Week 1.

Matt Ryan Possesses Upside Against Seahawks

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has upside in a plus matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1.

Chiefs Defense In Play As Week 1 Streamer

When thinking of dominant defenses, the Kansas City Chiefs Defense just doesn't come to mind.

Houston put up numbers in the first half of their playoff matchup with the Chiefs last year, but Kansas City gave […]

Pete Alonso Raking In September

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has certainly had a disappointing season overall, following up a monstrous 53-home run rookie campaign.

Daniel Vogelbach Sitting On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach is heading to the bench for Wednesday's game against left-hander Matthew Boyd and the Detroit Tigers. The left-handed Vogelbach is 0-for-7 against lefties this year, so it's no surprise he's out of the lineup. Vogelbach had started four straight games prior to Wednesday and had gone 5-for-13 with two […]

Ozzie Albies Activated, Will Play On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Wednesday afternoon. He will suit up for the team's Wednesday night game against the Miami Marlins.
