Zach Ertz Expected To Miss 3-4 Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) is expected to miss three to four weeks after suffering an ankle injury in the Week 6 loss to the Ravens, according to sources. The good news is the Eagles have their bye in Week 9, so Ertz may end up only missing two games for his fantasy […]

Miles Sanders Expected To Miss Thursday's Game

The Philadelphia Eagles expect running back Miles Sanders (knee) to miss their Thursday night game this week against the Giants. The injury could also keep Sanders out the following week against the Cowboys, so you'll need to have a backup plan if you roster him. The 23-year-old left in the second half of the Week […]

Cody Bellinger Should Be Fine For Game 1 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (shoulder) popped his shoulder out of socket during a celebration with Kike Hernandez after his go-ahead home run in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series against the Braves on Sunday.

Jonnu Smith Expected To Be Questionable For Week 7

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) is dealing with a "minor" ankle sprain and is expected to be questionable for Week 7 against the Steelers, according to a source. The Titans are going to need all of their offensive weapons in a battle of undefeated squads next Sunday, so Smith's practice status this week […]

Taylor Lewan Suffers Torn ACL

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee) revealed on his Twitter account that he suffered a torn ACL in the Week 6 overtime win over the Texans. The three-time Pro Bowler will be forced to miss the rest of the season, which is obviously bad news for Tennessee's offensive line and quarterback Ryan Tannehill as […]

Baker Mayfield Should Be Fine For Week 7

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs) is sore after the Week 6 loss to the Steelers, but nowhere near sore like he was last Monday.

Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Williams' 2020 season has been a rollercoaster of performances. Rounding the numbers, he's scored 8-8-3-18-3 PPR points in the five games he's played, showing all of a near-zero floor, RB1 ceiling, and also a couple of average-FLEX-games. Considering Green Bay drafted A.J. Dillon […]

Broncos Defense Surprises In Week 6 Win

Not much was expected from a Denver Broncos Defense missing most of their key playmakers in a Week 6 matchup on the road against quarterback Cam Newton and the Patriots. But Denver's D slowed down Newton and allowed their offense to win the game with six field goals from kicker Brandon McManus in the 18-12 […]

Logan Thomas (TE, WAS) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is Terry McLaurin and then, maybe, there are the rest of Washington's skill-position players. McLaurin's been target 58 times in six games (27% of all Washington's targets), sure, but Logan Thomas is second with 36 (17%) himself. Perhaps you didn't expect that coming […]

Brandon McManus Single-Handedly Beats Patriots

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus blew up for any fantasy managers that started him in Week 6, as he nailed all six of his field-goal attempts on Sunday. With the Broncos offense failing to put the ball in the end zone all day, McManus' leg accounted for all of the team's points in the 18-12 […]

Trey Burton (TE, IND) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Only four tight ends broke the 20-PPR mark in Week 6, including Trey Burton. He finished TE3 with 21.9 points on the day against Cincinnati helping Indianapolis get the comeback victory this past Sunday. It's been a wild season at the Colts tight […]

Jerry Jeudy Quiet In Week 6 Win Over Patriots

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught just two of his five targets for 32 scoreless yards in the team's Week 6 upset win over the Patriots by a score of 18-12. Jeudy was third on the team with his five targets, seeing one less look than rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, who was […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Makes Debut Against Patriots

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam saw the field for the first time in his NFL career on Sunday against the Patriots and caught two of his six targets for 45 yards in the 18-12 win. With Noah Fant (ankle) inactive, the rookie tight end was the preferred choice for quarterback Drew Lock over […]

Tim Patrick Proving He's The Real Deal

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick went over the 100-yard mark for the second straight week in the 18-12 upset win over the Patriots in Week 6. Patrick caught four of his team-leading eight targets for a team-high 101 yards on the day. It has certainly helped that tight end Noah Fant has been hampered […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Keelan Cole couldn't help Jacksonville get a W this past Sunday, he put on his best performance of the season and it can't be argued he was the lone really bright light of the offense against Detroit. It's been like that all […]

Jimmy Garoppolo (QB, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jimmy Garoppolo entered Sunday's game against the Rams quite under pressure. It was normal, considering the putrid performance he put on a week ago when he could only score all of 0.1 FP against Miami. He was banged-up back then, sure, but that fantasy […]

Royce Freeman Sees Season-High Nine Touches Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman served as the backup to Phillip Lindsay in the Week 6 win over the Patriots, as Melvin Gordon III was inactive with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Freeman had a season-high eight carries for 26 yards and caught his lone target for four yards in the 18-12 victory. It was nice […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When I first checked the fantasy-point tracker on Sunday, I saw something I couldn't believe. Through two quarters, Kirk Cousins was sitting at almost two negative fantasy points. He had committed three interceptions and thrown no touchdowns at all. He was, simply put, mediocre. Until […]

Drew Lock Struggles With Accuracy In Return

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock struggled to get much of anything going in his return from a right shoulder sprain, but he nevertheless led his team to an 18-12 victory on the road against the Patriots in Week 6. Lock was just 10-for-24 for 189 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, and he also […]

Kirk Cousins Knows He Must Improve

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer didn't give any thought to benching quarterback Kirk Cousins after he threw three first-half interceptions in the eventual 40-23 loss to the Falcons in Week 6, but Cousins is aware that he won't make it through the season if his interception trend continues after the team's Week 7 bye. […]

Damiere Byrd Hauls In Three Receptions Against Broncos

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd outplayed his fellow receivers during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. He hauled in three of his four targets for 38 yards in this one. Sadly, a 38-yard performance was the best showing from a Pats wide receiver in this game. Quarterback Cam Newton was unable […]

N'Keal Harry Held Without A Catch In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry was held without a catch during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was targeted twice and wasn't able to haul in anything here. Quarterback Cam Newton continues to struggle, so Harry's value has been all over the place this season. It's tough to predict what […]

Julian Edelman Continues To Disappoint

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman continues to struggle with three straight dud performances. In Week 6, Edelman caught two of his six targets for eight yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. He now has seven total receptions over the last three games combined. Quarterback Cam Newton struggled to move the ball […]

James White Hauls In Eight Receptions In Loss

New England Patriots running back James White has been a big part of the passing attack over the last few weeks. He rushed four times for eight yards and caught eight of his nine targets for 65 yards during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Cam Newton struggled to move the ball […]
