Michael Pittman Jr. (WR, IND) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The first reactions to Sunday's Parris Campbell injury were all pointing toward a torn ACL. Good for him and the Colts, it looks like those early impressions were mostly wrong and he avoided such a season-ending fate. Even with that, and seeing […]

Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have to admit that two things surprised me last week. The first one was that Gage joined the two of Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley in Atlanta's offense in terms of targets (12 each). The second one was to see how many […]

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry reeled in eight of his 12 targets for 72 yards in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. It was the most productive game in the young career of the 2019 1st round pick and could be […]

Wade Miley Returns To Roster Wednesday, Will Join Bullpen

Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (shoulder) was activated off of the injured list prior to Wednesday’s contest versus Milwaukee, with Tyler Stephenson being optioned to the club’s alternate site to make room on the roster. Miley will join the club’s relief corps, with his first appearance marking the first occasion since 2012 in which […]

Damien Harris (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There's been no standout New England Patriots running back through two weeks of the season and that makes second-year back Damien Harris (hand) a tremendous waiver wire add ahead of Week 3. Harris suffered a hand injury in training camp and was placed […]

Rhys Hoskins Not Likely To Return This Season

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (elbow) is more than likely done for the remainder of 2020. Hoskins is still not ready to hit in any capacity, which all but officially rules him out for the rest of the regular season, at the very least. Even if Philadelphia makes the postseason, manager Joe Girardi believes […]

Jakob Junis Shifts To Bullpen Role To Finish 2020

Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis was recalled to the club’s active roster ahead of Wednesday’s contest versus St. Louis and is now expected to appear out of relief over the season’s final few days. Initially set to be a full-time starter, the club will utilize him in shorter stints out of relief in […]

Dalton Schultz (TE, DAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Had I told you the name "Dalton" and asked about who do you think had a good game for the Cowboys in Week 2, odds are you responded "Andy". Far from real, though. It was Shultz, TE Dalton Schultz, who thrived with […]

Matt Olson Heads To Bench Wednesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson is not among the starting nine for Wednesday’s contest versus the Dodgers and right-hander Joe Kelly. Olson, who is slated to miss his first game of the season, has been quiet at the dish over the previous 10 days, ceding way to Mark Canha, who will hold down the […]

Nelson Cruz Remains Sidelined Wednesday; Return Uncertain

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (knee) is once again absent from the club’s starting lineup Wednesday as he battles knee soreness, with manager Rocco Baldelli conceding that the club will not rush him back to the lineup with the playoffs around the corner. Cruz is available off the bench, although it doesn’t sound as […]

David Dahl Lands On 45-Day Injured List

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (shoulder) was placed on the 45-day injured list prior to Wednesday’s contest versus San Francisco due to a strained right shoulder. It was essentially a lost year for Dahl, who scuffled mightily at the plate, delivering a .183/.222/.247 slash line without a home run in 24 contests. Maybe most concerning […]

Preston Williams Hopeful For Bounce-Back Game

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has been held to just three receptions through the first two weeks of the regular season. He was only able to haul in one of his five targets versus the Buffalo Bills last week. However, he'll get a more favorable matchup versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Williams […]

Joe Kelly Starts In Place Of Julio Urias On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Joe Kelly will start Wednesday’s contest against Oakland in place of southpaw Julio Urias, who was scratched prior to first pitch, but Urias will ultimately toss the bulk of innings. Kelly has yet to allow a run in 10 appearances this season, having held opposing batters to a .192 average across […]

DeVante Parker Healthy Heading Into Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report heading into Week 3 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited during Monday and Tuesday's practices, but was upgraded to full on Wednesday. Parker is coming off a Week 2 performance where he hauled in five receptions for 53 yards and […]

Justin Turner Back In The Lineup On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman/designated hitter Justin Turner (hamstring) is back in the lineup on Wednesday. Turner was scratched from Tuesday's lineup as he re-aggravated the hamstring injury that cost him to miss time earlier this year. Turner will play third base in Wednesday's game, the first time since his return from the Injured List […]

Mike Gesicki Has Favorable Matchup In Week 3

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is coming off a fantastic game versus the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. He was able to haul in eight of his 11 targets for 130 yards and one touchdown last week. It was a strong showing from Gesicki who was coming off a dud during the season opener. […]

Adam Duvall Heading To The Bench On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall is getting the day off on Wednesday. Nick Markakis is covering left field in the game as Ender Inciarte is getting the start in center field. Duvall has had a phenomenal September, slashing .253/.326/.711 with 11 home runs, 20 RBI and 20 runs. He's tied for fifth in the majors […]

Jordan Howard Remains Touchdown-Dependent Option

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard has been unable to find much room to run during the first two games of the regular season. However, Howard has found his way into the end zone during both contests. Sadly, Howard only has 11 total rushing yards on the season through two games. He's part of a […]

Matt Breida A Risky Option Versus Jaguars

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida is not looking like a trustworthy option this season. He has had trouble getting anything going through the first two games of the season. Breida rushed seven times for 37 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. He's in a three-back committee, which is going […]

Travis Shaw Back In The Lineup On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Travis Shaw (back) was a late scratch from Tuesday's game as he was dealing with back spasms. Shaw had sat out the previous two games as well. However, he'll be back in the lineup on Wednesday, hitting seventh. Shaw is slashing .263/.328/.491 with two home runs, seven doubles, six RBI […]

Myles Gaskin Has Promising Upside In Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has quickly created fantasy value for himself this season. He's coming off a Week 2 performance where he rushed seven times for 46 yards and caught six passes for 36 yards through the air. However, his value is somewhat limited due to the fact he's in a three-back committee, […]

Giancarlo Stanton Returns To The Lineup On Wednesday

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Stanton sat out on Tuesday as Aaron Judge got the start at designated hitter. Stanton is hitting third in the lineup in Wednesday's game, behind Judge and in front of Luke Voit. Stanton has played […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Makes Interesting Streaming Option

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has an intriguing matchup versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Fitzpatrick is coming off a performance where he completed 31 of 47 passing attempts for 328 passing yards and two touchdowns. Sadly, the Dolphins weren't able to get the win during that Week 2 matchup. However, Fitzpatrick bounced back […]

Rougned Odor Sitting On Wednesday

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite the fact that the team has made an effort to play their young players more, Odor started the team's previous four games. However, for Wednesday's game, Nick Solak is covering second base while Willie Calhoun is […]

Trea Turner Not In The Lineup On Wednesday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Luis Garcia is shifting over to cover shortstop while Josh Harrison is playing second base and batting second in the game. Turner has had a solid month of September, slashing .284/.347/.489 with three home runs, 15 RBI, 15 […]

Cowboys Defense Not A Recommended Week 3 Start

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a recommended start in Week 3 fantasy lineups. Despite the team coming back to win in Week 2, it's no secret that the Cowboys defense struggled quite a bit against the Falcons, allowing 39 points. This week, they'll take on a red-hot Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks in […]

Greg Zuerlein A Strong Kicking Option In Week 3

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a strong fantasy kicking option for Week 3 lineups. Zuerlein has made three of his four field goal tries and all six of his extra points so far this season. The Cowboys will be taking on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, making for another possibly high-scoring game which […]

Dalton Schultz Is A Fantasy Starter Now

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is suddenly a viable fantasy starting tight end in 12-team leagues. Schultz led the Cowboys in targets in Week 2 with 10, catching nine passes for 88 yards and a touchdown. With that kind of usage and with another potentially high-scoring game on tap for Week 3, Schultz could […]

Ryan Braun Getting Wednesday Off

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (back) is not in the lineup on Wednesday. Manager Craig Counsell stated that Braun would need a day off this week to rest his back. Dan Vogelbach is getting the start at designated hitter in the game with Jace Peterson in right field. Braun has been surprisingly productive in September, […]
