Patrick Mahomes Remains A Strong Option In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is coming off of his best performance of the year and will look to keep it going in what should be an entertaining battle against the New England Patriots. Patriots coach Bill Belichick is likely staying up at night trying to find a game plan to stop Mahomes and […]

Austin Barnes Enters Starting Lineup For Game 2 Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes will draw the start behind the plate for Game 2 of Thursday’s wild-card series versus Milwaukee and right-hander Brandon Woodruff. Barnes caught nine of Clayton Kershaw’s 10 starts this season, helping the southpaw post a 1.86 ERA while holding the opposition to a .586 OPS. Will Smith will remain […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Faces Tough Week 4 Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is a risky play in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. While Chark -- who missed Week 3 with chest and back issues -- appears on track to play, the Bengals Defense has been solid against the pass this year, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide […]

Will Fuller V Limited In Practice On Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V (hamstring) was a surprise entrant to the injury report on Thursday. Fuller has a history of missing games with hamstring issues, so this should be a worrisome sign for his availability against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. A healthy Fuller has game-breaking speed, but even he's not at […]

Christian Yelich Returns To No. 2 Slot For Game 2 Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is back in the second slot in the batting order for Game 2 of Thursday’s wild-card series versus the Dodgers and left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Yelich hit leadoff Wednesday, but with a southpaw on the hill, Avisail Garcia will open the game in the top spot. Yelich displayed reverse splits during […]

James Robinson Has Plus Matchup In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson has three touchdown runs in the past two games and has seen a marked increase in his passing-game usage over the course of the early season, catching six passes against Miami. He gets a solid Week 4 matchup against the Bengals, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to […]

Jurickson Profar Not In Starting Lineup For Game 2

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Jurickson Profar will begin Game 2 of Thursday’s wild-card series versus St. Louis on the bench. With Tommy Pham back in the outfield mix, and Jake Cronenworth holding down the keystone, manager Jayce Tingler decided to keep Profar on the bench as an opportunity to “pick and choose his spot […]

Bengals Could Be Bad Matchup For Gardner Minshew II

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II is coming off a disappointing Week 3 performance in which he failed to throw for a touchdown despite completing 71.43 percent of his passes. Now, Minshew will look to bounce back against the Bengals on Sunday. The problem? Cincinnati is only allowing 16.5 fantasy points per game to opposing […]

Garrett Crochet Leaves Game 3 With Forearm Tightness

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet (forearm) was pulled from Game 3 of Thursday’s wild-card series versus Oakland after just nine pitches due to forearm tightness. Crochet struck out both batters that he faced, giving him a combined 6 ⅔ scoreless innings this season with 10 strikeouts. The nature of forearm tightness is never […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 4

We have officially made it to Week 4 and the NFL is rewarding us with a Jets-Broncos Thursday Night contest. Unfortunately, this does not jump off the page as a fantasy frenzy like the last few. However, this doesn’t mean there aren’t any fantasy points to be had.  Last week many outstanding fantasy performances were […]

Eloy Jimenez Departs Game 3 Early With Foot Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (foot) returned to the club’s starting lineup for Game 3 against Oakland on Thursday, but after giving it a go for two at-bats -- including a double -- he was lifted due to persistent foot soreness. James McCann entered the lineup as the designated hitter in his place. Jimenez […]

Thursday Night Football Prop Picks for Monkey Knife Fight: Jets vs Broncos

The NFL season is back, and we cannot waste our opportunity to make some cash. We’ve seen crazy upsets so far, and we’ve seen a lot of money won. Tonight, we have another shot with the New York Jets playing host to the Denver Broncos. On MKF, there are no massive tournaments where you have […]

Dylan Carlson Remains In Cleanup Slot For Game 2 Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson collected a pair of hits in his first career playoff game Wednesday, leading to him retaining the cleanup spot in the order for Game 2 on Thursday during the wild-card series versus San Diego and right-hander Zach Davies. Carlson’s DFS price tag should lend to considerable roster potential, especially […]

Mitch Moreland Returns To DH Spot For Game 2 Thursday

San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Mitch Moreland will take over DH duties for Game 2 of Thursday’s wild-card series versus the Cardinals and right-hander Adam Wainwright. While Moreland delivered an .894 OPS during the regular season overall, he had just a .609 mark in 20 contests after being acquired by the Padres at the […]

Irene Aldana Has A Huge Opportunity Saturday

Irene Aldana (12-5) has won five of her last six fights in the UFC, dropping only a split decision to Raquel Pennington. Aldana is a finisher, with nine of her 12 wins coming by finish. A win over the former champion in Holly Holm would be a huge boost to Aldana's status and would put […]

Ryon Healy, Tyrone Taylor Enter Starting Lineup For Game 2

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/designated hitter Ryon Healy and outfielder Tyrone Taylor are stepping into the starting nine for Game 2 of Thursday’s wild-card series versus the Dodgers and left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Healy has not started since Aug. 5, having played in just four games during the regular season while spending most of the year at the […]

Holly Holm Needs A Big Performance For Next Title Shot

Holly Holm (33-2-3) will look to build on her decision victory over Raquel Pennington in January as she meets the No. 6 bantamweight in Irene Aldana. Holm mostly outscores her opponents, with the majority of her wins coming by decision. The former bantamweight champion has a chance to get right back into the title picture, […]

Julianna Pena Has A Chance To Shoot Into Top Contender Spot

Julianna Pena (9-3) has her chance as the No. 4 bantamweight to potentially earn a title shot if she can take out the No. 1 contender in Germaine de Randamie in Saturday's co-main event. Pena's obvious key to victory will be her takedowns and ground game. She averages 2.79 takedowns per 15 minutes, which she […]

Germaine de Randamie Out To Prove She's The Top Contender

Germaine de Randamie (9-4) is back in action after her loss in December of 2019 to double-champion Amanda Nunez. The former featherweight champion has finished nine of her career wins by knockout or TKO. De Randamie's only two losses in the UFC have both come to Nunez, arguably the best women's MMA fighter of all […]

Davante Adams Gets In A Limited Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) returned to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday after sitting out of the team's Week 3 win over the Saints. Adams did very little (three catches, 36 yards) when he was hurt in Week 2, but he went off for 14 receptions, 156 yards and two […]

Allen Lazard Misses Practice With Core Injury

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (core), who stepped up with 146 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Saints, has a new core muscle injury and did not practice on Thursday. It helped that Davante Adams (hamstring) was inactive last Sunday night, but Lazard has gained a lot of chemistry […]

Joe Flacco Active Against Broncos

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) is active for the Thursday night game against the Broncos as Sam Darnold's backup. With Flacco active, the team released quarterback Mike White. The 35-year-old Flacco is purely a clipboard holder for Darnold as long as he's healthy, which makes him useless in fantasy football. Never much of […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Working Through Back Injury

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (back) was added to the injury report on Thursday with a back injury that he's working through. Beckham was officially limited in Thursday's practice, so it looks like he still has a good shot at suiting up in Week 4 against the Cowboys. Through three games in 2020, […]

Tyron Smith Returns To Practice

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (back) returned to practice on a limited basis on Thursday for the first time in a few weeks. Smith played in the season-opener but hasn't been on the field since, but it looks like he has a chance to return to the starting unit this Sunday against the Browns. […]

Marcus Davenport, Marshon Lattimore Banged Up

New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport (elbow) and cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) didn't take part in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. As key members of the team's defense, their statuses are something to watch heading into Week 4 against the Lions. Lattimore tweaked his hamstring in practice on Wednesday, […]

D.J. Moore A Strong Play In Week 4

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore faces a tough matchup in Week 4 against Arizona. No team has allowed fewer fantasy points to the wide receiver position than the Cardinals, though fellow number-one wideouts Terry McLaurin and Kenny Golladay were able to post good numbers against this defense. Moore is of a similar talent level […]

Cameron Else Wants To Continue First-Round Finishing Streak

Cameron Else (10-4) is finally getting his chance to show his abilities inside the Octagon. Else has finished all 10 of his victories and has six first-round finishes in a row. This time, though, the competition stiffens as he battles Kyler Phillips, who is coming off of his UFC debut win. Of note, Else does […]

Kyler Phillips Looking To Build Off Debut Win

Kyler Phillips (9-1) will enter the Octagon 1-0 in the UFC. He won a unanimous decision over Gabriel Silva in February. Phillips has nine victories, and five have come by finish. Matrix was also a participant on The Ultimate Fighter 27, but lost in the quarterfinals to the season's eventual winner Brad Katona. Statistically, Phillips […]

Mike Davis A Borderline RB1 Against Arizona

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis will take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. Carolina had no qualms about Davis as their lead back, considering he handled 21 touches in his first game as the starter. While it's foolish to count on McCaffrey-like production from Davis, he can certainly deliver strong fantasy numbers with […]
