Vikings Defense Signing Todd Davis

The Minnesota Vikings are signing former Denver Broncos linebacker Todd Davis to a one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. It'll give the Vikings some depth at the position following the season-ending injury to Anthony Barr (pectoral).

D.J. Chark Jr. Trending In The Right Direction

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (back, chest), who is questionable for the Thursday night game against the Dolphins, is trending upward, but no final decision on his status will be made until closer to kickoff, according to a source.

Baker Mayfield A Low-End QB2 In Week 3

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in a serviceable performance in a Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals as he tossed two touchdowns and notched 219 passing yards.

Steelers Defense A Strong Option In Week 3

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense is a strong option heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Houston Texans.

[…]

Chase Claypool A Boom/Bust Flex In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool showed his explosiveness in Week 2 when he caught three passes for 88 yards and a touchdown.

Eric Ebron A TD-Or-Bust TE2 In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron is off to a slow start with his new team. Ebron has caught just four passes for 61 yards and has yet to find the end zone through two games. The veteran tight end has shown in past years that he has plenty of touchdown upside but it appears […]

Diontae Johnson Ascends To WR1 Status

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has lived up to the preseason hype so far through two games in the 2020 season. Johnson leads the team in targets (23), receptions (14), and receiving yards (149) at this point in the season. Fantasy gamers will want to lock Johnson into their starting lineups ahead of a […]

Tommy La Stella Doubles And Scores Against Dodgers

Oakland Athletics second baseman Tommy La Stella doubled and scored a run in a win over the Dodgers Wednesday. The most notable part of this game for La Stella was the fact he struck out, something he has been better at avoiding than every other player in 2020. La Stella sports a microscopic 4.8 percent […]

Nathan Eovaldi Shuts Down Orioles on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi went six scoreless innings and struck out eight batters as he guided the team to Wednesday's 9-1 victory against the Orioles.

JuJu Smith-Schuster A WR2 In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is off to a solid start in 2020, posting 13 receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns through two games.

49ers Defense A Great Starting Option In Week 3

The San Francisco 49ers Defense should be in position to have a solid fantasy output in Week 3 despite losing star defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) for the season. The 49ers have a plethora of injuries on offense, and that will likely lead to a defensive battle in Week 3 against the New York Giants. Giants […]

Benny Snell Jr. Not A Fantasy Option In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. struggled in a Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. Many expected Snell to split carries with James Conner after the latter injured his ankle in Week 1, but instead Conner out-touched Snell 18 to four last week. If Snell is going to remain in a strict backup […]

Jordan Reed Is Start-Worthy If George Kittle Remains Out

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jordan Reed was the focal point of the team's passing game in Week 2. Reed caught a team-high seven passes on eight targets for 50 yards and two touchdowns.

Ramon Laureano Breaks Slump With Three RBI

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a home run in a win over the Dodgers Wednesday.

Brandon Aiyuk Shouldn't Be Trusted As Week 3 Starter

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught two of his three targets for 21 yards in his NFL debut in Week 2. This week, Aiyuk could find himself catching passes from backup quarterback Nick Mullens if the team's starter Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is unable to go. Garoppolo is currently questionable for the game. Kendrick […]
