Jose Urquidy Aims For Fourth Straight Strong Start

Houston Astros starter Jose Urquidy will be looking to make it four straight strong starts in a row against the Rangers on Friday. Urquidy has come off the injured list and has delivered a 2.78 ERA through 22 2/3 innings, allowing only 15 hits in that span. Over his last three starts he has lasted […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Ruled Out For Week 3

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) will be sitting out this week's game against the New York Giants. Garoppolo suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 2 against the New York Jets. He sat out the second half of the game while backup quarterback Nick Mullens took over. Mullens will be getting the start […]

George Kittle Ruled Out For Week 3

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the New York Giants. He will miss his second-straight game while he continues to deal with a sprained left knee. Kittle had been practicing on a limited basis the past few days, but the team is proceeding with caution […]

Building an Optimal DFS Lineup for Sunday's South Point 400

Here we go, it's time for the Round of 12 in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, which kicks off Sundaty evening (Sept. 27) at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. After the opening round of the postseason, the playoff picture became a tad bit clearer. But you can throw that round out the window because this round […]

Colts Defense Has Favorable Matchup Against Jets

The Indianapolis Colts Defense had a great Week 2, allowing just 11 points and grabbing three interceptions. They will look to carry this momentum into Week 3 against the Jets. The Jets are averaging just 15 points per game over the first two weeks, their offensive line is bad and their best offensive weapons are […]

Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox - Yesterday's Recap

Welcome to the September 25th edition of Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox. Discussing baseball is as fun as the game itself. It has a way of bringing people together to share different opinions about the sport we all love. A similar action can be done with fantasy baseball where we not only discuss topics […]

Nyheim Hines' Value Rests With Pass-Catching Ability

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a bad Week 2, seeing just nine snaps and catching one ball for four yards. Part of Hines' lack of snaps last week were due to Indianapolis getting ahead early and running the ball with rookie Jonathan Taylor. Taylor's emergence means even less rushing attempts for Hines, which means […]

Texans Not Interested In Antonio Brown

The Houston Texans have no interest in signing free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown. Houston traded All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals in the offseason and have gotten off to an 0-2 start against tough competition. They have a full receiver room, though, with Brandin Cooks, Will Fuller V, Randall Cobb, Kenny Stills, DeAndre Carter […]

Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman Ruled Out Against Colts

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receivers Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Colts. It'll be Crowder's second straight missed game. The Jets offense is an absolute disaster right now, as running back Le'Veon Bell is also out for multiple weeks. […]

Alshon Jeffery Ruled Out This Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Bengals. Jeffery has yet to play this season but is trending upwards and has a chance to make his 2020 debut within the next few weeks, barring some sort of setback. The Eagles […]

League of Legends World Championships DFS Picks (Early 1&2 9/26/20) - DraftKings and Fanduel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my League of Legends DFS column! What an opening day. I went 4-1 on my picks with the one being a -750 favorite going down despite the 88% implied odds to win. As we said on Twitter, I gladly would have gone 3-2 if it meant that ML could have lost […]

Mo Alie-Cox Has Bust Potential In Week 3

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox got the start in Week 2 and took advantage of it, catching five passes for 111 yards. It was his first fantasy relevant game of his career, so it is difficult to expect him to have another strong performance in back-to-back weeks. Quarterback Philip Rivers has a good history with […]

T.Y. Hilton Looking For Bounce-Back Performance

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton has not had a great start to the season, catching just seven passes for 81 yards thus far. He has a good matchup this week against the Jets, but it seems as if the Colts are going to be a run-first team after having success last week. With just […]

Week 3 IDP Rankings, Streamers, and Fades

Well… this past week was something, wasn't it? As you obviously know, a series of unfortunate events befell pretty much all of us at once! I mean first, Best Buy ran out of pre-orders for the Playstation 5, and then Andre Braugher lost at the Emmys! It’s practically all the fantasy football community can talk […]

Giant Problems: Projecting Daniel Jones and Receivers ROS

No one expected the Giants to be able to challenge for a playoff spot in “real life” football this season, but fantasy football players were optimistic that their roster could be a good resource that might help them reach the playoffs in their own fantasy leagues. Now that the dust has cleared after what has […]

Dominic Smith With Two More Doubles On Thursday

New York Mets outfielder/first baseman Dominic Smith went 3-for-5 with two doubles in the Mets' 3-2 win over the Nationals on Thursday. Smith continues to build on what has become a bona fide breakout season for the 25-year old. He is now fourth in the National League with a 1.009 OPS and his 21 doubles […]

Jordan Akins Has Streaming Appeal In Week 3

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins has clearly taken the reins as the No. 1 tight end for the Texans, playing over 80 percent of offensive snaps in Week 1 and Week 2 this year. Last week against Baltimore, Akins was targeted seven times, catching all of them for 55 yards. This week's matchup with […]

Jonathan Taylor Has Favorable Week 3 Matchup

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor will make his second consecutive start against the Jets in Week 3. Taylor had a whopping 26 carries in Week 2 and was able to rush for over 100 yards. The Jets Defense has given up an average of 140 rushing yards per game over the first two […]

As the season unfolds, an expanding collection of tools are available that can provide you with an extensive level of knowledge regarding this critical position. Those results are contained in this weekly statistical breakdown of multiple categories, which is designed to […]

Randall Cobb A Fringe Play In Deep PPR Leagues

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb was expected to be a key part of the underneath game for the Texans in 2020, but so far he has been an afterthought. After a five-catch, 59-yard Week 2, a few things have become clear. First, Cobb has just enough usage to make him a viable flex option […]

Raheem Mostert And Tevin Coleman Officially Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers running backs Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) have both officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Both players sustained knee injuries in the team's Week 2 win over the New York Jets. The team has said that they expect to be without Coleman for about […]

Brandin Cooks A WR3/4 Option In Week 3

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (quad) showed some encouraging signs in Week 2, being targeted eight times and finishing with five receptions for 95 yards. Cooks was eighth in the league in air yards last week. If Cooks is trending towards being quarterback Deshaun Watson's top deep option, he'll always have boom potential, but […]

Philip Rivers Not A QB1 In Week 3

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers is set to face off against the New York Jets this Sunday. The Jets Defense had a miserable Week 1 against the pass when Bills quarterback Josh Allen shredded their secondary. They had a better Week 2 against the pass, specifically because the 49ers got up early and ran the ball. […]

Nick Mullens Officially Named Week 3 Starter

The San Francisco 49ers have officially named quarterback Nick Mullens their starter in Week 3 against the New York Giants. Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) will be sidelined for the game as he continues to nurse a high ankle sprain. Mullens isn't someone worth starting in fantasy in Week 3. The 49ers will likely be very conservative […]

Will Fuller V A Boom/Bust Play Against Steelers

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V was the team's leading receiver in Week 1, then wasn't targeted in Week 2. So, what do we make of this heading into Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Steelers? It should be noted that Fuller dealt with hamstring issues during that Week 2 game against Baltimore and […]

David Johnson Has Terrible Week 3 Matchup

Houston Texans running back David Johnson is an incredibly risky play in Week 3 against a Steelers Defense that's allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. Johnson will look to do better than Giants back Saquon Barkley, who had just six rushing yards against Pittsburgh in Week 1. Johnson's still got a decent […]

Deshaun Watson Faces Tough Steelers Secondary

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has had some tough matchups to open the 2020 NFL season, and that continues on Sunday as he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense is a talented group that should be able to pressure Watson and force early throws into a strong secondary, limiting his ceiling. Still, Deshaun Watson is […]

Derrick Henry Looking To Find End Zone Sunday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will be looking for the end zone for the first time this season Sunday against the winless Vikings. He's rushed for exactly 200 yards so far this year, but that has come on 56 carries. "I think we all just need to focus on improving, and getting better each […]
