Adam Schefter Posts Potential Schedule Changes

With the Broncos and Patriots game postponed, ESPN's Adam Schefter says that sources tell him the following changes to the schedule will take place as long as Tuesday's Bills/Titans game is a go. Broncos/Patriots will take place next Sunday, while the Chargers and Broncos game will move to Week 8 to replace Denver's original bye […]

Jonnu Smith Poised For Another Big Game

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith has 13 catches for 181 yards and three touchdowns through Tennessee's first three games, and he's in a good spot to keep rolling in week five. He faces a Bills Defense that has allowed the most yards (359) and the third-most receptions (31) to tight ends this season. The […]

A.J. Brown Faces Tough Matchup Against Tre-Davious White

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is trending towards playing Tuesday against the Bills. He's been recovering from a knee injury but he'll have a tough matchup on his hands in All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, so fantasy managers may want to calm their expectations. Fellow wide receiver Corey Davis was put on the reserve […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr. To Be Inactive For Week 5

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. not only won’t be starting Sunday’s contest against Los Angeles, he’ll be inactive. Haskins will not even be inside the stadium for the game, which is slated to see Kyle Allen make his first start at the helm with Washington. Backing him up will be Alex Smith, who […]

Derrick Henry Will Be Well Rested And Ready For Heavy Workload

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will have fresh legs after a week off, but the workhorse back will face a tough matchup with a tough Buffalo front line that just held Josh Jacobs to under 50 yards on the ground last week. Henry carried the ball 26 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns […]

Zane Gonzalez Returns To Season-Long Relevance For Week 5

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez will match up Sunday against a Jets team that is tied for allowing the second-most points to opposing kickers this season. Available in nearly 40 percent of ESPN season-long leagues, Gonzalez is an excellent upside play for those who don’t have a consistent kicker, or are eyeing a one-week wave […]

Rams Defense An Advantageous Selection Sunday

The Los Angeles Rams Defense was going to be a solid play Sunday against Washington no matter who was under center due to the way that the team’s offense has scuffled this season, but with Kyle Allen making his first start for the team, their advantageous situation only increased. Allen showed flashes last year while […]

Cam Newton On Track To Return As Starter Next Week

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (COVID-19) did not appear in line to play Monday versus Denver as he works his way back from a positive COVID-19 test. But in the wake of the decision to postpone the contest until next Sunday due to new COVID-19 positives within the Patriots’ organization, what once appeared to […]

Browns Defense Carries DFS Appeal Sunday

The Cleveland Browns Defense has gotten off to a strong start in 2020 when it comes to sacking the opposing quarterback, even if other areas have been lacking. With 11 sacks through its first four games, Cleveland has been able to somewhat offset its 31.5 points per game allowed average through constant pressure. Five of […]

Greg Ward In Line To Be Primary WR Target Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward enjoyed a sharp uptick in fantasy appeal at the conclusion of 2019 due to the widespread injuries that turned him into the team’s top wideout. With Alshon Jeffery (foot), DeSean Jackson (hamstring), and Jalen Reagor (thumb) all sidelined Sunday versus Pittsburgh, Ward returns to WR1 status for the Eagles, […]

Jerick McKinnon Drops Out Of RB2/Flex Contention Sunday

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon went from being a potential RB2/Flex option for Sunday’s game versus Miami to a likely bench commodity due to the likelihood of Raheem Mostert (knee) returning. McKinnon excelled in Mostert’s absence, having reeled off three consecutive games with a rushing touchdown. His production during that stretch will likely […]

Marcus Peters, Jimmy Smith Get Green Light For Sunday

The Baltimore Ravens Defense will have the benefit of having both cornerbacks Marcus Peters (thigh) and Jimmy Smith (knee) available for Sunday’s contest against Cincinnati after both had questionable designations coming into the game. Peters figures to play a sizable role in defending the Bengals’ passing game, with Smith figuring to continue pitching in on […]

Breshad Perriman Likely Out Sunday Versus Cardinals

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) will likely be out of the mix for Sunday’s contest against the Cardinals, further limiting quarterback Joe Flacco’s options in the passing game. Perriman last suited up Week 2, having combined to make five receptions for 29 yards this season. While Perriman could be a possible DFS […]

The chart below is a snapshot of each team's cornerback group as it relates to allowing fantasy points. There are inherent flaws within the data compilation of cornerback play.
