Laviska Shenault Jr. Doesn't Break Out In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. was a popular pick to have a breakout game against the Dolphins in Week 3, but it didn't happen, as he finished with just 33 receiving yards. Shenault did record five receptions, but with his usage mainly coming in the short-yardage passing, Shenault didn't have the chance […]

Chris Thompson Catches Five Passes On Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson continued to see his role expand on Thursday night, catching five passes for 35 yards and adding three rushing yards on two carries. Thompson isn't the same receiving threat that he was in Washington, but he's becoming a larger part of things for the Jaguars. That doesn't mean you […]

Chris Conley Has Rough Week 3

With Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (back, chest) out, receiver Chris Conley was a popular pick to see an expanded role on Thursday night. And he did, as he led the team in targets with eight. The problem? Drops and some poor positioning led to Conley catching just three of those passes for 34 […]

Keelan Cole Quiet In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught four passes for 43 yards in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. It was Cole's first game this year without a touchdown. Thursday showed us what Cole's floor this year likely looks like: a handful of catches with an average of around 10 yards per reception. You'll take […]

James Robinson Scores Both Jaguars Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson was the only consistent source of production in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The undrafted rookie ran the ball 11 times, finishing with 46 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also led the team in receptions, catching six of them for 83 yards. Robinson might be the […]

Gardner Minshew II Struggles Against Miami

The Jacksonville Jaguars weren't supposed to be blown out by the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, but they were, as the Dolphins took the 31-13 victory. Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II struggled all night, going 30-for-42 for 275 yards with no touchdowns while throwing an interception and narrowly avoiding throwing a second. He also added 22 […]

Lamar Jackson With Tough Task Ahead In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has his most formidable challenge of the 2020 season thus far against the Chiefs on Monday night. The third-year signal-caller has played relatively well against Kansas City throughout his career (two games), throwing for 414 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 22 carries for 113 yards and an […]

Jordan Montgomery Pitches Well On Thursday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery had a solid outing on Thursday, tossing 5 1/3 innings of three-run ball with eight strikeouts and no walks. Montgomery’s changeup generated an impressive nine whiffs (27 pitches) in the game, and his 17% swinging-strike rate for the game was unusually impressive. Montgomery still owns an uninspiring 5.11 […]

Drew Sample A Sneaky Option In Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample caught seven of his nine targets for 45 yards against the Browns in Week 2. Although it's unlikely that rookie quarterback Joe Burrow will throw 61 passes against the Eagles as he did against Cleveland, the sophomore will likely be in line for an uptick in production after Cincy […]

Tyler Boyd Should Remain Starting In Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has racked up 11 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown throughout his first two games of the year. With A.J. Green back in the mix after missing some time due to injury, concerns emerged as to whether or not Boyd would be able to produce a third-straight 1,000-yard […]

Hunter Henry Has Tough Week 3 Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry has been off to a hot start in 2020, but will have a tough challenge against the Panthers in Week 3. Henry has been one of the better options at a tough position and most importantly has looked healthy in two games. The Panthers have been successful in […]

Keenan Allen Will Look To Build Off Success In Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen will look to build off of a strong Week 2 outing in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. Allen was a beneficiary of rookie quarterback Justin Herbert drawing the last minute start over Tyrod Taylor (chest) this past Sunday. Allen capitalized by hauling in seven of his 10 […]

Joshua Kelley Continues To Get Carries

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley continues to get work as the No. 2 running back. Kelley received 52% of the snaps out of the backfield and 23 carries compared to the 16 that starter Austin Ekeler got. Kelley has now recorded 124 rushing yards on 35 attempts and has scored one touchdown in […]

Austin Ekeler Looks To Continue Strong Start To Season

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will look to continue his strong season with a matchup against the Panthers in Week 3. Ekeler has been sharing work with rookie Joshua Kelley and received 56% of the snaps in Week 2. Kelley also got a big chunk at 52% last Sunday. The backfield has worked […]

A.J. Green Looking For First Touchdown Of 2020

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green hasn't had the most spectacular 2020 campaign but will attempt to get on track against Philadelphia in Week 3. Despite being targeted 22 times by rookie signal-caller Joe Burrow throughout the first two games of the year, the veteran has hauled in only eight of them for an unimpressive […]

Gary Sanchez Narrowly Misses Home Run In Pinch-Hit Appearance

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez crushed a 104.5 mph fly ball with a .880 xBA that landed in the glove of outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in a pinch-hit appearance on Thursday, bringing Sanchez’s batting average down to a paltry .142 for the season. Sanchez’s 36% strikeout rate pops out as a major issue for […]

Joe Mixon Will Attempt To Get On Track Against Philly

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will look to get things going against Philadelphia on Sunday. The 24-year-old has been a colossal disappointment through the first two games of the year, racking up an underwhelming 115 yards off of 35 attempts for a miserable 3.3 YPC. He has also hauled in just five catches for […]

Joe Burrow Hoping For Repeat Performance In Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will look to keep things on track in Week 3 against the Eagles. The rookie has had an impressive inaugural season, throwing for 509 yards, three touchdowns, and only one interception throughout his first two games. He has also racked up 65 yards and an additional score on 15 attempts […]

Miguel Sano Lacks Relevant September Production

Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano has made a reputation as a boom-or-bust DFS asset, which has been extenuated by his major league-leading 23.4% barrel rate and 95.4-mph average exit velocity, as well as his 43.7% strikeout rate. But as it's likely to happen with a slugger boasting those metrics, Sano has gone ice-cold as […]

Zac Gallen Eyes Strong Finish To 2020 Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Zac Gallen had morphed into a National League Cy Young contender before two rough September starts derailed his progress. But he can still close 2020 with a sub 3.00 ERA, with his final start coming Friday versus a Rockies lineup that will be without Nolan Arenado (shoulder). Gallen struck out seven […]

Oscar Mercado Not On Fantasy Radar After 2020 Performance

Cleveland Indians outfielder Oscar Mercado looked like a staple of fantasy outfields for years to come during his rookie campaign in 2019. But following Thursday’s contest, his slash line for the 2020 year sat at .123/.172/.173 with two extra-base hits. Mercado had been sent to the club’s alternate training site earlier in the year due […]

Jose Ramirez Makes MVP Case With Torrid September

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez has been ferociously hot over his past 15 games, having amassed a .400/.468/.945 slash line with eight home runs and 20 RBI in that stretch. That production has put him in the conversation for American League MVP, which while effectively meaningless in terms of fantasy production, would vault Ramirez […]

Browns Defense A Strong Fantasy Option In Week 3

The Cleveland Browns Defense is a solid fantasy option for their Week 3 matchup against the Washington Football Team. Washington's offense has not been very potent through two weeks, scoring 42 total points and while allowing seven sacks and committing two turnovers. Cleveland is installed as a seven-point home favorite in a game that could […]

Juan Soto In Line For MVP Consideration

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto is firmly entrenched as a National League MVP candidate coming down the stretch of the season, with his 1.189 OPS tops in the Majors. After entering the year as a borderline first-round candidate depending on season-long league size, Soto will be in contention for the No. 1 overall choice come […]

Jeimer Candelario Departs Early With Back Tightness

Detroit Tigers first/third baseman Jeimer Candelario was pulled from Thursday’s contest against Kansas City with lower back tightness and is officially tagged as day-to-day. Jorge Bonifacio entered the game in Candelario’s place, with Brandon Dixon shifting to first base in his place. Having gone 0-for-2 at the dish prior to his departure, Candelario’s average dipped […]

Sherten Apostel Leaves Early Thursday Due To Back Spasms

Texas Rangers first/third baseman Sherten Apostel departed Thursday’s contest versus Houston early due to back spasms after he dove for a ball in the field. Andrew Romine, who was added to the active roster prior to the game, entered the lineup in Apostel’s place, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa shifting back to third base. Initially, Anderson Tejeda […]

Eloy Jimenez Exits Early, Day-To-Day With Foot Soreness

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (foot) departed Thursday’s contest against Cleveland due to a sore right foot. Prior to his exit, Jimenez went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a pair of strikeouts, bringing his average on the season to .296. Adam Engel stepped into the lineup in his stead, and he would likely […]

Falcons Defense Should Be Avoided

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should not be started in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. There's good news and bad news for the Falcons defense. The good news is, they've registered four sacks and three fumble recoveries in two games. The bad news is they've allowed the most points-scored and the second-most yards allowed to […]

J.B. Wendelken Hits Injured List, James Kaprielian Recalled

Oakland Athletics right-handed pitcher J.B. Wendelken (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list prior to Thursday’s contest versus the Dodgers, with righty James Kaprielian taking his spot on the active roster. Wendelken has been a crucial cog in the Oakland bullpen, compiling a 1.80 ERA across 21 appearances this season. With a career-high 11.2 K/9 […]
