Jared Cook A Solid Starting Option

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook faces a stingy Buccaneers Defense in Week 9. Cook was able to haul in five passes for 80 yards back in Week 1 against this defense with the Saints at full strength. Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) will be back in the lineup, which could […]

Drew Brees Has Upside Against Tampa Bay

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is good to go for a pivotal divisional matchup with the Buccaneers. Brees had a minor shoulder injury that kept him limited in practice, though he was a full participant in the final practice session of the week. He'll be facing a stingy Tampa Bay defense that ranks first […]

Calvin Ridley Not Expected To Play Against Broncos

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) is not expected to play in Week 9 against the Broncos. Ridley wasn't able to practice at all this week while Atlanta has a bye coming up in Week 10. It makes too much sense to play it safe and sit their star wideout, especially considering he seems […]

Keenan Allen Eligible To Suit Up After Negative Test

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (illness) is now eligible to suit up against the Raiders after his second COVID-19 test came back negative. Allen fell ill on Saturday and has a sore throat, though he tested negative for the virus. He is now expected to play against Las Vegas, who doesn't have anyone […]

Matthew Stafford Will Play Against Vikings

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will play on Sunday after his final COVID-19 test was clear. Stafford was placed on the COVID-19 list after coming into contact with someone who had the virus, though he'll now be in the lineup for a smash spot against the Vikings' decimated secondary. They've allowed the fifth-most fantasy points […]

Chris Godwin Expected To Suit Up

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Saints. Godwin was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, though ramped up his practice efforts to full on Friday, which was great to see. It's been an injury-filled year for the star wideout- and opportunities may be harder to […]

Marquise Brown A WR3 Against The Colts

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown gets a middle-of-the-road matchup against the Colts in Week 9. Brown hasn't quite lived up to expectations this year, though it hasn't been for lack of involvement- he's seen at least six targets in every game except for last week against Pittsburgh. That kind of volume could certainly lend […]

Mark Andrews In The TE1 Range For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews faces a tough test in Week 9 against the Colts. No team has been stingier against tight ends, as they've allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Still, Andrews has four games with at least six targets and has found the end zone five times this […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has A Good Chance To Play

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) has a good chance to play in Week 9, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Elliott is dealing with a hamstring injury he suffered against the Eagles and was limited by it in practice. For what it's worth, owner Jerry Jones said he expects his star running back […]

Michael Thomas A Low-End WR1 Against Tampa Bay

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) appears ready to take the field for the first time since Week 1. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed earlier reports about Thomas, saying he's likely good to go barring a setback after a good week of practice. It's more than likely he's out there, though it […]

Josh Jacobs Expected To Play

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Chargers. Jacobs had a DNP on Thursday after practicing fully on Wednesday, which was an ominous sign for Sunday. However, he turned things around with a limited session on Friday and will be on the field against […]

Alvin Kamara A Must-Start Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara faces a tough matchup in Week 9 against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is the only team this year to hold Kamara under 100 scrimmage yards, as they've been a tough defense against opposing halfbacks. Still, the ultra-talented 25-year-old is handling a hefty workload and has seven touchdowns scored […]

It finally happened. Underdogs finally came through with some outright upsets in Week 8. We've had some small-ish upsets here and there but not many touchdown underdogs winning in the same week. Underdogs went 10-4 against the spread with seven outright upsets. The biggest was the Bengals beating the Titans as seven-point underdogs. Another one […]

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 was the toughest of the year so far with only four correct top-10 predictions after Tampa Bay notched seven points against the Giants on Monday night. That puts me at 40%, which is the worst finish of the season. Weather played a factor, with winds whipping over 20 MPH in a few games […]

We've all been staring at both "red states" and "blue states" all week, so I promise that my Week 9 GPP DFS stacks will not only be politics-free, but I won't even consider any "red" or "blue" teams either! I'm avoiding the chalky "red" of the Cardinals, Chiefs, and Falcons as well as the obvious […]

[…]

Mining for Fantasy Gold in San Francisco

Injuries have ravaged a lot of NFL teams this 2020 season. From the Cowboys to the Eagles, there have been few teams who have escaped some form of damage. This is no more prevalent than in San Francisco. Not even including massive losses on defense, the 49ers have been without Deebo Samuel and Tevin Coleman […]
