Deebo Samuel Set To Return In Week 4

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) is set to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Eagles on Sunday night. Samuel has fully recovered from offseason foot surgery and will be activated from Injured Reserve, while the Niners will also get tight end George Kittle (knee) back from a knee injury […]

Joe Mixon Looks For First TD Of The Year In Week 4

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is still without a touchdown in 2020 and will look to break that trend in Week 4 against Jacksonville. The former Sooner has compiled only 164 yards on 52 attempts throughout the first three games on the year, good for a subpar average of 3.2 YPC. He has also […]

EPL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel (10/3/20) - English Premier League Soccer

Welcome back, RotoBallers! After taking last week off, I'm excited to be back writing for some more EPL DFS this weekend. Games remain more spread out than they have been in the past, which leaves us with some smaller slates where games all kickoff at different times. Saturday's main slate is three games, but you […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 4: English Premier League

The English Premier kicked off again in September, barely a month after last season finished late due to the Covid-19 pandemic, teams are back playing in empty stadiums. As we did after the EPL restart last season, we're going to look at the weekly schedule and make some betting picks for each Matchweek. Picks total […]

Tyler Stephenson, Jose Garcia Have Chance To Make Club In 2021

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson and shortstop Jose Garcia both played integral roles in helping the club reach the postseason down the stretch in 2020, with president of baseball operations Dick Williams confirming Friday that the duo “belong on a big league field.” Stephenson, the club’s No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, and Garcia, No. […]

Buccaneers Defense Gets Juicy Matchup

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is red-hot coming into a matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. Take a look at the Buccaneers' key defensive stats over the last two weeks: 11 sacks, three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, a safety and a blocked punt. There might be no hotter defensive unit in fantasy right now and […]

Cincinnati Expects Nick Castellanos To Return In 2021

Cincinnati Reds president of baseball operations Dick Williams said Friday that he does not expect outfielder Nick Castellanos to exercise the opt-out in his contract, which would allow him to forgo the three years and $48 million remaining on his current deal. Castellanos has a unique deal that offers him the chance to opt out […]

Alex Bregman A Risky DFS Play After Struggles Against A’s

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will be one of the premier DFS targets during the ALDS, which is set to begin Monday. He faces off against an Oakland pitching staff that held him to a slash line of .095/.174/.143 in 23 plate appearances during the regular season. Granted, being on a downturn against the […]

Ryan Succop A Great Play In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop gets a great matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. Succop has missed just two combined kicks this season and will face a Chargers team that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season. There should be opportunities for Succop in the red zone, […]

Evan Engram A Low-End TE1 Versus Rams

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been disappointing through three games in 2020, but fantasy managers can start Engram in a good matchup with the Rams. Los Angeles allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends through three weeks and Engram is averaging 6.6 targets per game, so if he gets that […]

Dustin Pedroia Not A Fantasy Commodity Come 2021

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) is under contract for the 2021 season and would presumably have a clear path to everyday playing time at second base. But persistent knee troubles have limited him to just nine games over the last three seasons combined, and it’s not believed that he will play again. […]

O.J. Howard Not A Starting Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard appears to have taken a backseat to Rob Gronkowski. Howard played just 49 percent of the snaps compared to 93 percent for Gronkowski and was out-targeted seven to four. It seemed like Howard would rise up and be the superior tight end for fantasy, especially after head coach […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play In Game 2

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will suit up for Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. He sprained his left ankle during the first half of Game 1 on Wednesday. It was going to take a lot to keep Butler off the court for this game. Sadly, they will be without Goran […]

Logan Thomas A Touchdown-Dependent Streamer Versus Ravens

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas has another tough matchup in Week 4 as the Ravens visit Washington. Thomas has exactly four catches in all three games this season, but is yet to accrue more than 37 yards in a contest. He is averaging eight targets per game so there is fantasy appeal in […]

Bam Adebayo Won't Play On Friday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is a huge blow to the Heat who are already without Goran Dragic (foot) for this game. Kelly Olynyk, Derrick Jones, and Meyers Leonard are expected to see more playing time on Friday. Jae Crowder […]

Mike Clevinger, Dinelson Lamet Play Catch Friday

San Diego Padres right-handed pitchers Mike Clevinger (biceps) and Dinelson Lamet (biceps) both played catch Friday morning ahead of the team’s do-or-die Game 3 of the wild-card series against St. Louis. Neither starter is on the club’s roster, which has severely hampered the pitching staff, but when asked about the availability for either should the […]

Rob Gronkowski Could Put Up TE1 Numbers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. Gronkowski is coming off his best performance of the season, as he out-snapped fellow tight end O.J. Howard and saw a season-high seven targets, turning them into six catches for 48 yards. The Chargers rank 14th in the league […]

Dontrelle Inman Not A Fantasy Option Versus Ravens

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dontrelle Inman should serve as the team's No. 2 wide receiver versus the Ravens this Sunday, but he is not someone fantasy managers should prioritize. Inman has just seven catches through three weeks and would need to find the end zone to be fantasy relevant in this matchup. He should […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Likely To Start Game 1 Or 2 Of ALDS

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. wasn’t utilized during the club’s wild-card series victory over Minnesota, having last pitched last Saturday. Despite that, manager Dusty Baker alluded to the fact that McCullers could be tabbed to pitch either Game 1 or 2 of the ALDS versus Oakland. In his lone start against the A’s […]

Goran Dragic Ruled Out For Game 2

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is still dealing with a foot issue that he suffered during the first game of the series. Kendrick Nunn is expected to join the starting five, while Tyler Herro gets more minutes as well. Both […]

Steven Sims Jr. Ruled Out For Week 4

Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. (toe) has been ruled out for the team's Week 4 game versus Baltimore. Sims was held out of last week's game in Cleveland with the injury, and the fact that he's been ruled out for the game on Friday means his toe injury may be worse than […]

Spencer Torkelson Tops Prospect Group At Instructional League

Detroit Tigers first/third baseman Spencer Torkelson is the top name among a group of the club’s prospects that will report to Florida for an instructional league for further development. The No. 1 pick in the 2020 MLB Draft out of Arizona State, Torkelson has already vaulted up the ranks to be chosen as the club’s […]

Justin Watson An Iffy Play Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson (shoulder) was a full participant at Friday's practice and won't carry an injury designation into a matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. There are a lot of targets potentially on the table with Chris Godwin (hamstring) out and Scotty Miller (hip, groin) questionable. Even if Miller plays, Watson […]

Craig Stammen Serves As Opener For Game 3 Friday

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Craig Stammen will open Game 3 of Friday’s wild-card series versus St. Louis. Stammen hasn’t made a start since Aug. 4, 2010, a healthy indicator that he won’t be long for Friday’s contest, with the Padres slated to have an “all hands on deck” approach. The longest that Stammen has […]

Terry McLaurin Not Practicing Friday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (thigh) did not participate in Friday's practice, according to Adam Caplan. This is a troubling sign for McLaurin who participated in practice Thursday, albeit on a limited basis. If he can suit up, McLaurin will face a daunting matchup versus Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey in Humphrey's first game […]

Scotty Miller Questionable Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller (groin, hip) is listed as questionable after getting a full practice session in on Friday. Miller is likely to play, though it will be hard to trust him, even without Chris Godwin (hamstring) playing. The 23-year-old did put up 83 receiving yards in Week 3, but he did […]

Mike Evans A Volume-Based WR1 In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will face off with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. Evans is going up against a defensive unit that has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards through three weeks, led by star cornerback Casey Heyward Jr. Still, Evans will be operating on the outside without teammate Chris Godwin […]

Bears Expected To Sign Lamar Miller

The Chicago Bears are expected to sign veteran running back Lamar Miller to their practice squad, according to a source. Miller, who has been working his way back from an ACL tear last August, will give Chicago some running back depth after they lost Tarik Cohen (knee) for the season last week. The 29-year-old hasn't […]

Yu Darvish Suffers Tough Loss In Game 2

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish suffered the loss in Game 2 of the Cubs wild-card series versus the Miami Marlins. Darvish was on his game, but made one bad pitch to Garrett Cooper in the top of the seventh inning that turned into a home run. Darvish then allowed a double to Matt Joyce. […]

Ronald Jones II Should See Bigger Workload

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II will take on a tough Chargers Defense in Week 4. Jones II should handle a bigger workload this week with Leonard Fournette (ankle) ruled out for the contest. The Chargers have bottled up most halfbacks on the ground this year, though they have been susceptible to receiving […]
