Jared Cook Returns With Touchdown Catch

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook saw just three targets but made them count, hauling in two of them for 52 receiving yards and a touchdown. Cook beat the Chargers Defense for a 41-yard score that tied the game up at 20. It's possible that the Saints were easing him back into things, as […]

Tre'Quan Smith Held Under 10 Receiving Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith was targeted just three times and caught two of them for eight receiving yards. Smith had a big opportunity in front of him over the last few weeks, but he was essentially leapfrogged by Emmanuel Sanders in terms of usage. To be fair, Smith had a big, two-touchdown […]

Emmanuel Sanders Posts Season-High 12 Catches, 122 Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders caught 12 of 14 targets for 122 receiving yards in a 30-27 victory over the Chargers. Sanders' stats were all season-highs and it could have been an even bigger day, as he was tackled at the one-yard line. It's his biggest statistical output since, ironically enough, his huge […]

Johan Camargo Replaces Adam Duvall On NLCS Roster

Atlanta Braves utilityman Johan Camargo is replacing outfielder Adam Duvall (oblique) on the National League Championship Series roster after Duvall suffered an oblique injury in Game 1 against the Dodgers on Monday. Duvall will be ineligible for the World Series if the Braves advance. Manager Brian Snitker said that Duvall "popped that thing pretty good" […]

Clayton Kershaw Scratched From Game 2 Versus Braves

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) has been scratched from Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Braves because of back spasms. Rookie Tony Gonsolin will start in Kershaw's place. It's a big loss for the Dodgers after Kershaw put up a 2.16 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 7.75 strikeout-to-walk […]

Latavius Murray Picks Up 57 Scrimmage Yards In Week 5

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray carried the ball eight times for 34 rushing yards and caught both targets for 23 receiving yards in a win over the Chargers. Murray has now exceeded 50 scrimmage yards in three of five games, along with two touchdowns. The veteran back has looked good this year and […]

Alvin Kamara Tops 100 Scrimmage Yards Against Chargers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara exceeded 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth consecutive game in a 30-27 win over the Chargers. Kamara picked up 45 rushing yards on 11 carries and caught eight of 10 targets for 74 receiving yards, including a juggling, 28-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that led to […]

Drew Brees Throws For 325 Yards With Two Scores

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 33 of 47 passes for 325 yards with a touchdown throw and a rushing score along with one interception in a victory Monday night. It certainly wasn't pretty at times, as Brees looked shaky and inaccurate throughout the night, though he was good when he needed to be. […]

Keenan Allen Dealing With Back Spasms

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (back) experienced back spasms after his touchdown catch in the Monday night overtime loss to the Saints. Allen left the game in the first quarter and didn't return to the contest, but he'll have extra time to heal up with the team's bye week recently being moved from […]

A.J. Brown Expected To Play Tuesday Night

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee), who has missed the team's last two games with a bone bruise in his knee, is expected to play on Tuesday night against the Bills. Brown led the team in every major receiving category last year in his rookie season. Tennessee really needs Brown in this one against […]

Tommy Pham Should Be Fine After Stabbing Incident

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham should be fine after being stabbed in the back during an altercation Sunday night. The 32-year-old is expected to make a full recovery after being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Pham endured a down year in 2020 battling a broken wrist, slashing .211/.312/.312 with three homers and six steals in […]

White Sox Mutually Part Ways With Rick Renteria

The Chicago White Sox mutually agreed to part ways with manager Rick Renteria on Monday. The team also parted ways with pitching coach Don Cooper on Monday. General manager Rick Hahn is looking for something a bit different moving forward as the White Sox move from a rebuilding phase to their goal of winning multiple […]

Dalvin Cook Dealing With Adductor Strain

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (groin) was diagnosed with an adductor strain, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Cook was injured on the first play of the opening drive of the second half in the Sunday night loss to the Seahawks. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Cook had an MRI exam on Monday that […]

Davon Godchaux Facing Three-Month Recovery

Miami Dolphins starting defensive tackle Davon Godchaux (biceps) is facing a three-month recovery after suffering a biceps tear in the Week 5 win over the 49ers, according to a source. The Dolphins are hoping that he can return toward the end of the regular season or the playoffs if his rehab goes as planned. Godchaux […]

Patriots, Chiefs Have No New Positive COVID-19 Tests

The New England Patriots had no new positive COVID-19 tests from Monday's round of testing, and they are planning to return to the practice field on Wednesday. The Kansas City Chiefs also had no new positives from Monday's round of COVID-19 testing. Both Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore tested positive before the […]

Bills-Titans Game On For Tuesday Night

The Tennessee Titans had zero new positive COVID-19 tests from Monday's round of testing, meaning their game against the Buffalo Bills will go on as planned on Tuesday night. The Titans have had more than 20 player and personnel test positive for COVID-19 since their Week 3 win over the Viking, which forced the league […]

Mike Thomas (WR, CIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This will become the most savage move of any fantasy GM in your league if you pull it off, believe me. Thomas' upside is entirely tied to A.J. Green's status after he got sidelined this past Sunday with (supposedly; there are some […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, LV) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There are only two pass-catchers active (not injured) in the NFL with 11 or fewer targets averaging 9+ PPR points per game and with 30+ through five games: Raiders WRs Henry Ruggs III and Nelson Agholor. Las Vegas QB Derek Carr has been […]

Olamide Zaccheaus (WR, ATL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It might sound ridiculous, but I think we can consider the Falcons some sort of Dallas-lite: an undercooked version of what the Cowboys have put on the field through the first five weeks of the 2020 season. Atlanta has three great wideouts in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/13/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Thursday with 2 game slate featuring Game 2 of the NLCS and Game 3 of the ALCS. The NLCS features the veteran Kershaw versus the youngster Ian Anderson, where the ALCS features a couple of arms we may target. As mentioned yesterday, lineup construction is much different on these 2-game postseason slates, […]

Jalen Guyton (WR, LAC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Outside of veterans Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (and TE Hunter Henry) the Chargers aren't offering reliable weapons to rookie QB Justin Herbert. Austin Ekeler is injured and with that, his pass-catching prowess is gone. That has allowed Jalen Guyton to be on […]

Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Preston Williams has featured heavily in Miami's start of the season (he only trails DeVante Parker with 235 to the WR1's 255 snaps), he has been a little bit disappointing in terms of production. In five play, although Williams is the WR2 […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Take a look at Hardman's week-to-week targets from the 2019 season, then look at his weekly fantasy outcomes, and you'll get an idea of the player Mecole Hardman is: the biggest of boom/bust wide receivers. Well, perhaps not the biggest, but he's definitely […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/13/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

For those who have not been scared off by FanDuel’s live scoring bungle, the two-game Championship Series extravaganza returns Tuesday. Not surprisingly, Monday featured a bushel of key home runs, and the nature of FD’s scoring means that isolating those bats moving forward will be paramount. Whether you’re aiming for roster variance or a last-minute […]

The Cut List (Week 6) - Time to Let Go?

If you are familiar with this column, you are probably used to seeing three or four players I dub droppable. For this week, I found that many players that fit the criteria (players owned in at least 30% of leagues) are either obvious drops, or that there just weren’t a whole lot of candidates I […]

Mike Williams (WR, LAC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Williams' profile as a receiver is that of a boom/bust asset. He's a deep threat and a walking big-play waiting to happen. That cuts his upside on a play-to-play basis, and will always lead to horrific games when things don't go his […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chargers backfield was always going to be manned by Austin Ekeler after his 2019 explosion. With the departure of Melvin Gordon came the arrival of rookie Joshua Kelley, though, so the backfield seemed to be on track to be shared among […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Chase Claypool and Travis Fulgham are undoubtley going to be the two darlings of the Week 6 WW pickups--they finished as overall no. 1 and no. 2 in PPR leaderboards this past weekend--let's not forget about the most valuable under-the-radar guy out there: […]

Week 5 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Unlike Week 4 where 17 quarterbacks scored at least 20-fantasy points, only 11 quarterbacks reached that same mark in Week 5. Patrick Mahomes finished the week as the No. 1 quarterback on the week, while Ryan Fitzpatrick finished No. 2 in surprising fashion against a tough 49ers Defense. Travis Kelce finished Week 5 as the […]
