Davante Adams Could Feast On Lions

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will look to stay hot against the Lions in Week 2. Adams exploded for 14 receptions, 156 yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings in Week 1. Now he will face a Lions team decimated by injuries, especially in their secondary. Detroit was burned consistently in the fourth […]

Aaron Jones Has Favorable Week 2 Matchup

Jones posted 66 rushing yards with one touchdown in Week 1 and will go up […]

Amari Cooper Should Have A Good Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper shouldn't have too much trouble racking up fantasy points in a Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons secondary had no answer for any of the Seahawks wide outs in Week 1 and Cooper should add to that trend. He was targeted 14 times in Week 1 […]

David Dahl Starting In Right Field On Wednesday

Ezekiel Elliott Set To Pick Up Where He Left Off For Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is an excellent fantasy option in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Almost […]

Swearinger late in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 1 loss but didn't feel symptoms until Wednesday. Head coach Bruce Arians said that they will […]

Dak Prescott Has An Excellent Week 2 Matchup

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has an excellent matchup in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May (foot) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres.

Kenley Jansen Picks Up 11th Save Of The Season

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen fired a scoreless ninth inning to notch the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the San Diego Padres.

Phillip Lindsay Could Be On The Shelf For A Few Games

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) is still receiving a second opinion on his turf-toe injury, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him miss the next few weeks based on the nature of the injury and the position he plays. But the good news is that his injury isn't considered to be […]

Danny Duffy's Next Start Undetermined

Kansas City Royals starter Danny Duffy remains out of the team's rotation for the time being, according to manager Mike Matheny.

Falcons Sign Laquon Treadwell To Practice Squad

The Atlanta Falcons signed wide receiver Laquon Treadwell to their practice squad on Wednesday. Treadwell didn't make the club's 53-man roster out of training camp, but he'll remain with the team.
