Kenyan Drake Won't Play In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Dolphins. Drake was injured in Week 7 and had the bye week to heal up, but he'll miss at least one game. Chase Edmonds will step in as the replacement against Miami, and he should see the lion's share […]

Chris Godwin A WR2 Against Saints If Active

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin should be considered a WR2 versus the Saints if active. It's been a frustrating season for Godwin who hasn't been able to stay on the field. The addition of Antonio Brown could also affect the fantasy values of the Tampa WRs. Nevertheless, Godwin's role and value in this […]

Philip Rivers Looks For Another Strong Performance

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers has started to find his groove over the last two games, throwing for a total of six touchdowns and one interception. The last two games against the Bengals and Lions were fairly favorable matchups, but things will likely be a bit more difficult against the Ravens this week. The Ravens […]

Mike Evans A WR2 For This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a WR2 this week versus the Saints. Evans has had an inconsistent campaign this year and has eclipsed 100 yards in two of eight games. He had a decent week last week against the Giants (5/55/1) and has a chance to build on that performance in what […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) is listed as questionable for the divisional matchup in Week 9 against the Chargers. Jacobs got in a full practice on Wednesday and was limited on Friday, so he should be good to go for this one and should remain in the RB1 ranks this weekend. […]

Leonard Fournette A Lower-End RB2 For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette should be considered a lower-end RB2 for Week 9. In the past two weeks, Fournette has recorded 50 and 52 rushing yards, which is more than Ronald Jones II. The former Jaguar also had more carries than Jones last week (15 vs. 7). Now, it seems both Tampa […]

Ronald Jones II A Low-End RB2 For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is an RB2 this week against the Saints. After having a three-game stretch with over 100 yards, the RB has dropped back down to earth and has only gotten 34 and 23 rushing yards the past two weeks as a result of Leonard Fournette cutting into his […]

Sammy Watkins Questionable Against Panthers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and defensive end Frank Clark (knee) are questionable for Week 9 against the Panthers. Watkins was limited in practice all week, so he has a shot at returning for the first time since Week 5. Like both Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson, Watkins will be a risky […]

Tom Brady A QB1 In Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a QB1 this week against the Saints. Brady threw for 279 yards last week and has been on a robust stretch that has seen him throw for nine touchdowns and zero picks in the last four games. The Saints allow the fifth-most points to fantasy QBs and Brady […]

Marcus Johnson, Mo Alie-Cox Questionable For Week 9

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marcus Johnson (knee) and tight end Mo Alie-Cox (knee) are both questionable for Week 9 against the Ravens. T.Y. Hilton (groin) is doubtful and Ashton Dulin (knee) is out, so the Colts could be very short-handed at receiver against Baltimore. Zach Pascal and rookies Michael Pittman Jr. and Dezmon Patmon would […]

Dawson Knox Questionable Against Seahawks

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (calf) is listed as questionable for the Week 9 game against the Seahawks. Knox returned to practice on Thursday after coming off the COVID-19 list and was limited the last two days. The 23-year-old from Mississippi hasn't played since Week 5, so even if he's active on Sunday, Buffalo […]

Falcons Defense Will Be Missing Key Defenders

Atlanta Falcons defensive ends Dante Fowler (hamstring) and Takkarist McKinley (groin, illness) and cornerback Jordan Miller have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Broncos. It's more good news for a Denver offense that overcame a 21-point second-half deficit to beat the Chargers as time expired in Week 8. The Falcons Defense ranks 24th […]

Chargers Defense Likely To Be Without Joey Bosa

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (concussion) is doubtful to play against the division-rival Raiders in Week 9. Offensive guard Trai Turner (groin) and cornerback Casey Hayward are questionable. The oft-injured Bosa will have to make considerable progress in the league's concussion protocol in order to be cleared this weekend. His absence would be […]

Bo Scarbrough Trying Out For Seahawks

Free-agent running back Bo Scarbrough will try out for the Seattle Seahawks. Scarbrough was buried on Detroit's crowded backfield depth chart and was let go this year before playing at all. He ran the ball 89 times for 377 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and one touchdown in six games for the Lions last season. […]

Tim Patrick Receives Questionable Tag For Week 9

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Falcons. Patrick was limited in practice all week and is expected to play after missing Week 8's win over the Chargers. The 26-year-old has been one of Denver's most reliable aerial targets this year without Courtland Sutton (knee) in […]

Phillip Lindsay Questionable To Face Falcons

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot) is questionable for Week 9 against the Falcons. Despite being questionable, Lindsay is expected to play after getting in a full practice on Friday. Injuries continue to get in the way, but the 26-year-old has been the better ball-carrier than Melvin Gordon III each of the last two […]

Cole Kmet Questionable For Week 9

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Cole Kmet (groin) is questionable to play in Week 9 against the Titans. Kmet got in a limited practice on Friday, at least giving him a chance to play this Sunday. The 21-year-old from Notre Dame is a well-rounded tight end prospect, but he isn't rosterable in single-year formats while […]

Mark Ingram II, Chris Moore Doubtful Against Colts

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) and wide receiver Chris Moore (thigh) are listed as doubtful for Week 9 against the Colts. Ingram had the Week 7 bye to heal up, but he's still likely to miss his second straight game. Rookie J.K. Dobbins will likely see his role expand in the second […]

Ezekiel Elliott, Aldon Smith Questionable Against Steelers

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) and defensive end Aldon Smith (knee) are questionable to face the Steelers in Week 9. Elliott was limited in practice all week, so he has a pretty good shot of playing. Smith was also limited all week. There are a handful of things going against Elliott this weekend, […]

Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees Taken Off Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) and quarterback Drew Brees (shoulder) were taken off the final injury report for Week 9 against the Buccaneers and will be active for the important divisional showdown on Sunday night. Kamara is dealing with a minor foot injury. He had 12 carries for 16 yards but found […]

Michael Thomas Listed As Questionable

New Orleans Saints All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the division-rival Buccaneers on Sunday night. "We'll see," head coach Sean Payton told reporters. "I thought we had a good week of preparation. And we'll wait till game day." Thomas injured his ankle in the Week 1 […]

Shohei Ohtani Begins Throwing Program

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (forearm) is currently throwing from 120 feet at 75-80 percent intensity, and the Angels plan to have the right-hander back as a two-way player in 2021. The Japanese star made just two starts in 2020 before he was shut down with a right forearm strain that kept him […]

Justin Turner Won't Be Punished For COVID-19 Incident

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner will not be disciplined by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred for returning to the field to celebrate the World Series win with his team after testing positive for COVID-19. "We all have made mistakes as we navigated these unprecedented challenges and have tried to learn from those mistakes so […]

Brodie Van Wagenen Leaving Mets

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen and much of the team's front office are leaving the team after hedge-fund manager Steve Cohen completed his $2.4 billion purchase of the franchise on Friday. Special assistant to the GM Omar Minaya, assistant GMs Allard Baird and Adam Guttridge and executive director of player development Jared […]

Building an Optimal DFS Lineup: Season Finale 500

It all comes down to this. The NASCAR Cup Series season finale is set to get underway from Phoenix Raceway on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. The four drivers vying for the championship are Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano. When it comes to DraftKings, of course those drivers are going to […]

Washington Poses Tough Test For Sterling Shepard

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been productive since returning from injury but will face a stiff test Sunday in Washington. The Washington Football Team allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers through eight weeks this season. New York has not been a good passing team this season either, making Shepard […]

Darius Slayton Facing Tough Matchup Sunday In Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will have his hands full versus the Washington Football Team on Sunday. Washington allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers which is bad news for a Giants passing attack that ranks 28th in the NFL. Slayton has a couple of 100-plus yard efforts this season so […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 8: English Premier League

Last weekend was heartbreaking. After starting off the weekend with a winner and correct score (+850), we bagged a game 2 winner and was one goal away from another correct score. The +924 parlay was on the brink of coming in as the under 12.5 corners came in for game 3 but Aston Villa only […]

Younghoe Koo A Strong Start

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo draws a favorable Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Koo has made 19 of 20 field goals and 14 of 17 extra points in 2020 and has four games this year with at least three made field goals. The 26-year-old has been a rock-solid fantasy kicker this season, which […]

Giants Defense Can Be Started Versus Washington

The New York Giants Defense hasn't done much to be excited about in fantasy this season but they have a good matchup in Week 9 versus Kyle Allen and the Washington Football Team. Washington allows the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses so New York is a start-worthy unit during the height of bye weeks. […]
