Aroldis Chapman Collects First Postseason Save This Year

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman picked up a four-out save against the Rays on Thursday, striking out two and allowing one baserunner. Chapman used his slider sparingly on Thursday with his sinker (two pitches) and splitter (one pitch) combining to account for more of his total pitches than his slider (two pitches), but the […]

Gleyber Torres Stays Hot On Thursday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and his second home run of the postseason against the Rays on Thursday, giving the 23-year-old a 1.009 OPS through six postseason games this year. Lower body injuries and a slow start to the regular season left Torres with a middling .724 OPS […]

Luke Voit Hits First Career Postseason Home Run

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit went 1-for-4 with a home run against the Rays on Thursday. Voit had yet to hit a home run in the postseason coming into Thursday’s game, but the reigning MLB home run leader clubbed a 453-foot blast to end that streak. Even with that performance, Voit was unlucky […]

Jordan Montgomery Holds Rays To One Run On Thursday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery pitched well on Thursday, holding the Rays to one run over four innings with four strikeouts. Montgomery was in and out of trouble all night with six baserunners allowed, but some timely outs allowed the 27-year-old to escape with limited damage. The Yankees pulled Montgomery after only 62 […]

Golden Tate Has Good Matchup At Dallas

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate has struggled thus far in 2020 but has a good matchup in Week 5 at the Cowboys. Tate has just 14 catches for 103 yards in three games and has not scored a touchdown. Dallas, however, has been bad on defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing […]

Darius Slayton Looking To Break Slump Versus Dallas

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has been quiet for fantasy managers after a huge Week 1 performance, but he will look to bounce back in a good matchup versus the Cowboys. Slayton had 100-plus yards and two touchdowns in the first game of the season but has made just three catches in each […]

Giants Defense Not A Fantasy Option In Week 5

The New York Giants Defense faces a brutal matchup in Week 5 and should not be started in fantasy. New York is among the worst teams in the league at forcing turnovers and now face a Cowboys offense that is the only team in the NFL to rack up 2,000 yards so far this season […]

Evan Engram Has Good Matchup Against Cowboys

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been a disappointment for fantasy managers thus far, but is in a good position to bounce back in Week 5. Engram has 35 yards or less in three of four games this season and has not found the end zone as New York has struggled mightily to […]

Wayne Gallman Not A Fantasy Option In Week 5

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman is still playing behind Devonta Freeman and is a long shot to make noise in fantasy for Week 5. Gallman was inactive despite being healthy in Week 2 when Saquon Barkley (knee) was injured and the team signed Freeman days later. New York has been using Freeman more […]

Devonta Freeman Looking To Get Rolling With Giants

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman has the most touches of any running back on the team and now gets his best matchup since signing with Big Blue after Week 2. Freeman handled 11 carries last week while no other Giants runner had more than six. Freeman was also targeted in the passing game […]

Daniel Jones Looking To Get Back On Track Against Cowboys

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled mightily in 2020 but will look to get on track in a juicy matchup at Dallas. Jones hasn't thrown a touchdown since Week 1 and has thrown five interceptions to just two touchdowns on the season. As bad as Jones has played, Dallas offers a nice bounce-back […]

Makwan Amirkhani Can Continue Impressive Run

Makwan Amirkhani (16-4) rebounded well from his loss to top contender Shane Burgos by finishing Danny Henry with a first-round anaconda choke for the victory. The SBG Ireland product has a dangerous ground game, with 11 of his 16 wins coming by finish. His opponent, Edson Barboza, is the opposite and is a deadly one-shot […]

Edson Barboza Hoping To Get Back To His Winning Ways

It's no secret that American Top Team product Edson Barboza (20-9) will attempt to kick out the base of his opponent and then look for the knockout blow. Though Barboza has lost five of his last six bouts, he is always one strike away from winning the contest. Check out his wheel-kick knockout of the […]

Washington Defense A Risky Start Versus Rams

The Washington Football Team Defense faces another tough matchup Sunday in a home matchup with the Rams. Los Angeles is seventh in the NFL in total offense and have allowed the ninth-fewest sacks through four weeks. Washington will likely have second-overall pick Chase Young (groin) back for the game as the rookie got in a […]

Marcin Tybura Has Chance To Score Third Win Of 2020

Polish heavyweight Marcin Tybura (19-6) will look for his third win of 2020 as he battles long-time UFC veteran Ben Rothwell. Throughout his career, 13 of Tybura's 19 victories have come by the finish. He is a diverse finisher, with seven wins coming by submission and six by knockout. After losing four of five, Tybura […]

Ben Rothwell Looking For A Statement Win Saturday

Ben Rothwell (38-12), marking his 11th year in the UFC, returns after a May split-decision win over Ovince St. Preux to challenge Marcin Tybura for his second win of 2020. Impressively, 34 of Rothwell's 38 career victories have come by finish, with 22 of those coming by knockout. Throughout his extensive time in the Octagon, […]

Michael Thomas, Jared Cook Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) and Jared Cook (groin) were both limited participants on Thursday. Since the Saints play on Monday, this was essentially their first practice day of the week. It's encouraging that Thomas hasn't had any setbacks yet after practicing in limited fashion all of last week, so he certainly […]

Falcons Defense Should Be Left On The Waiver Wire

The Atlanta Falcons Defense gets a matchup with the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. Atlanta has registered five takeaways and seven sacks this season, though they've struggled to stop opposing offenses. The Falcons have allowed the second-most points per game in the NFL, so they are certainly a unit to avoid for fantasy purposes. Leave […]

Younghoe Koo A Good Start If He Plays

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (groin) has practiced in full each of the last two days and looks to be on track to returning in Week 5. Koo has been solid, missing just one field goal and two extra points. He should continue to see ample opportunities to knock down kicks while playing behind the […]

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet & Expert Lineups for October 9th

With single-game slates left for the rest of the NBA postseason, we will be focusing our attention on the best plays and strategies for each conference finals and finals game. Whether you play on FanDuel or DraftKings, there are some nice contests available for showdown/single-game and my goal will be to give you my approach […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 Against Carolina

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. Hurst has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in two of four games and has two touchdown catches on the season. He hasn't lived up to the breakout hype yet, though he's been usable considering the relative uncertainty of the tight end position. […]

Julio Jones Unable To Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was unable to practice for the second straight day with a hamstring injury. Jones re-injured the hamstring in Week 4 against the Packers and his status for Week 5 is not looking good as of Thursday. While Jones was able to do acitivity on the side, he still […]

Darnell Mooney Active Against Tampa

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is set to play on Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mooney appears to be the No. 2 receiver in Chicago now, though a matchup with this Buccaneers Defense isn't ideal in season-long leagues. Consider Mooney a WR4/5 option and an intriguing DFS option due to his […]

Patriots-Broncos Moving To Monday

The Week 5 contest between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots is being moved to Monday night, according NBC Denver's Mike Klis. The Patriots have had two positive COVID tests in the past week, but if the remaining tests this week come back negative, this game should be good to go. As of now, […]

Bills-Titans Will Be Played On Tuesday

The Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans will now play on Tuesday night, unless additional positive COVID tests on the Titans side forces the game to be pushed back further. For fantasy purposes, this game should count for Week 5, though we wouldn't blame you if you were nervous about playing any Titans or Bills players […]

Mike Evans Active For Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (ankle) will play on Thursday night against the Chicago Bears. With Chris Godwin and Justin Watson out, Evans is a needed piece for quarterback Tom Brady. While there's some reason for concern about Evans as he's not 100 percent and is playing on a short week, the Buccaneers […]

Leonard Fournette Active Against Bears

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) is a surprise active for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. Doubtful coming in, Fournette is unlikely to play much of a role, if any, in this one, barring an injury during the game to Ronald Jones II. Fournette was likely on your fantasy bench because of […]

Russell Gage Could See More Opportunities In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage could be in line for more opportunities against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. Gage actually ranks second on the team in targets, though part of this is due to Julio Jones (hamstring) missing one game and part of another. Jones could be out again in Week 5 and […]

Calvin Ridley Could Be Target Hog If Healthy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (thigh, knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Ridley has had all sorts of ailments recently, which is likely the reason why he burned so many fantasy managers with a catch-less day in Week 4. Still, the 25-year-old had seen at least 10 targets in each of […]

Todd Gurley II Gets Great Matchup In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II gets a great matchup against the Panthers in Week 5. Carolina has been gashed by the run this year, as they've allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing halfbacks. Gurley II comes into the contest with 65 rushing attempts, which ranks eighth in the NFL, and four touchdowns, […]
