Matthew Stafford Activated From COVID-19 List

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was activated from the COVID-19 list on Saturday, but he must pass one more round of tests in order to be cleared for Week 9 against the division-rival Vikings. It's looking likely that Stafford will be under center on Sunday, but fantasy managers planning on starting him need to check […]

Blue Jays Agree With Robbie Ray

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal with free-agent starting pitcher Robbie Ray on Saturday, according to a source. Ray, a 29-year-old left-hander was in his sixth season with the Diamondbacks when he was traded to Toronto in 2020. He went 1-4 with an ugly 6.62 ERA in 11 total starts […]

Mike Gesicki Unlikely To Rebound Versus Arizona

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has one total reception for eight yards over his last two games. In fact, Gesicki has one reception or less in four games this season, which is surprising coming from a starting tight end. The change at quarterback didn't make much of a difference for Gesicki. His fantasy value […]

Preston Williams A Risky Option In Week 9

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has been disappointing throughout most of the first half of the season. He put together one 106-yard performance, but has been unable to do much damage besides that. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa struggled to move the ball through the air last week during his NFL debut. It's unlikely that things […]

DeVante Parker A WR3 Against Cardinals

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has been unable to do much damage over the last two weeks. The quarterback change did not help Parker last week, as rookie signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa threw for a total of 93 passing yards in Week 8. Parker was targeted just two times, although he did find the end zone. […]

Bradley Roby Ruled Out Against Jaguars

Houston Texans cornerback Bradley Roby will not travel with the team and has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Jaguars. No reason was given, but Roby isn't injured and isn't dealing with anything COVID-19-related. Roby has played in seven games with Houston this year, recording 29 tackles (26 solo), one interception and five […]

Patrick Laird Should Have A Role Versus Cardinals

Miami Dolphins running back Patrick Laird is expected to have a role against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. This season, Laird has three receptions on three targets and zero attempts on the ground. However, his workload is likely going to increase with Myles Gaskin (knee) and Matt Breida (hamstring) sidelined versus the Cardinals. Jordan […]

Sam Darnold Not Expected To Play Monday Night

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder), who aggravated the AC joint injury in his right shoulder last week, is not expected to start on Monday night against the division-rival Patriots. Darnold will officially be listed as doubtful. The third-year quarterback has regressed across the board in 2020, has […]

Jordan Howard Expected To Take Over Lead-Back Duties

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard has not played a snap since the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, Howard is likely going to be the lead back for the team going forward. Both Myles Gaskin (knee) and Matt Breida (hamstring) will be sidelined for the Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. […]

Cowboys Preparing To Be Without Ezekiel Elliott

The Dallas Cowboys are preparing to be without running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) in Week 9 against the Steelers. The team elevated fullback Sewo Olonilua from the practice squad on Saturday for more backfield depth behind Tony Pollard and rookie Rico Dowdle if Elliott is indeed inactive on Sunday. Head coach Mike McCarthy said that […]

Tua Tagovailoa Unlikely To Improve Versus Cardinals

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be making his second career start versus the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. It was an underwhelming NFL debut for Tagovailoa in the victory over the Los Angeles Rams last week. He completed 12 of 22 passing attempts for 93 yards and one touchdown. It's unlikely that things get […]

Steelers Defense To Be Without Mike Hilton

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Mike Hilton (shoulder) was limited in practice all week, but he's listed as doubtful for Week 9 against the Cowboys. Hilton ranks 28th among defensive backs in fantasy points despite playing in just four games so far in 2020. He's recorded 29 tackles (27 solo), five tackles for loss, five QB hits, […]

Darren Waller Likely To Bounce Back Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a difficult Week 8 game against the Browns, but that was in large part due to the inclement weather and the Raiders struggling to throw the ball. Waller still managed to catch five passes but had just 27 yards. While it was a disappointing fantasy day, Waller […]

Chris Herndon Has Avoidable Matchup

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon has been a non-factor in fantasy leagues over the last three weeks. Over those games, he has one reception for three yards, which is horrendous for the starting tight end. He'll head into a matchup against the New England Patriots who have allowed the second-fewest amount of points […]

Vance McDonald Questionable Against Cowboys

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (illness) is questionable for Week 9 against the Cowboys with a non-COVID-19-related illness. McDonald first showed up on the injury report on Friday and didn't practice. McDonald just hasn't been relevant in fantasy this year with Eric Ebron the team's primary pass-catching tight end. The 30-year-old has only eight […]

Jeff Smith An Unfavorable Option Versus Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Jeff Smith has seen plenty of targets, but has been unable to capitalize on his chances. This season, Smith has hauled in 14 of his 33 targets, which is quite sad. The Jets continue to throw it his way expecting different results. He'll be a tough player to trust against […]

Golden Tate Won't Travel With Team

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will not make the trip to Washington for Sunday's game, according to sources. The decision was made to keep him back due to overall issues with his effort and performance. Tate will have a chance to return to the lineup in Week 10 against the division-rival Eagles. The […]

Braxton Berrios Expected To Lose Value

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios saw a huge volume of targets during the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Jets were without their two top receivers, so Berrios saw 11 targets in that one. However, Jamison Crowder (groin) and Breshad Perriman (head) are expected to suit up this week. The […]

Sammy Watkins Ruled Out Against Panthers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Panthers after being listed as questionable on Friday. Watkins is getting closer to returning after going down with injury in Week 5. There's a chance he could be ready for Week 11 against the Raiders, but fantasy managers […]

Henry Ruggs III A Risky Option In Week 9

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III had just two catches for eight yards last week against the Browns and remains a risky option going forward. He has just one game this season where he has caught at least three passes. This is also not an easy matchup considering the Chargers rank ninth against […]

Cowboys To Start Garrett Gilbert Against Steelers

The Dallas Cowboys plan to start quarterback Garrett Gilbert against the Steelers in Week 9, according to sources. Gilbert has taken the majority of repetitions at practice this week. Cooper Rush will back Gilbert up on Sunday. Dallas went with rookie Ben DiNucci last week, but he failed to deliver in the Week 8 loss […]

Denzel Mims A Risky Option For Week 9

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims is finally getting his chance to show what he can do at the NFL level. Sadly, the Jets are awful on offense, so his fantasy value is limited. The Jets are getting healthy with Jamison Crowder (groin) and Breshad Perriman (head) expected to suit up for the Week […]

Ravens Defense Returns From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated cornerback Terrell Bonds, outside linebacker Tyus Bowser, safety DeShon Elliott and linebackers L.J. Fort, Malik Harrison and Patrick Queen from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. They were all put on the COVID-19 list earlier this week when they were deemed high-risk close contacts of All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who won't play […]

Jadeveon Clowney Dealing With Meniscus Issue

Tennessee Titans pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney (knee), who is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Bears after not practicing all week, is dealing with a meniscus issue, according to sources. All options are on the table at this point, including surgery, which would knock him out for the rest of the season. Clowney is […]

Breshad Perriman Likely To Play Versus Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (head) is hopeful to get back on the field for the Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots. He missed the game last week, but is reportedly in the final phase of the league's concussion protocol. Sadly, Perriman will be returning against a Pats secondary that has […]

Derek Carr Looks To Rebound Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had a tough game last week against the Browns where the weather was a massive factor. He will have a good opportunity to bounce back this week against a Chargers Defense that ranks 31st against opposing quarterbacks so far this season. Carr is averaging two touchdowns per game and […]

Jamison Crowder Remains A WR2 In Week 9

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. There is a good chance that he will return from his two-game absence against the New England Patriots on Monday night. Crowder has been the only bright spot for this Jets offense this season. Quarterback Sam Darnold […]

Christian McCaffrey Activated From Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers officially activated running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) and defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle) from Injured Reserve to the 53-man roster on Saturday. Both players will be active in Week 9 against the Chiefs. McCaffrey suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and has been out since. Mike Davis did a nice job […]
