Darius Slayton Looking To Bounce-Back In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a letdown game in Week 2 with just 33 yards after he exploded for 100-plus yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Slayton should be in a position to see more targets this week as Sterling Shepard (toe) was placed on Injured Reserve. New York has struggled […]

Howie Kendrick Weighs Retirement Choice Ahead Of 2021

Washington Nationals first baseman/designated hitter Howie Kendrick revealed Friday that he is mulling retirement at the conclusion of the 2020 season. Already done for the year due to a hamstring injury, Kendrick revealed that in a non-COVID-19 circumstance, this would have been his last year; but now? The decision is up in the air. Kendrick […]

Golden Tate A Dart-Throw Flex Option In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate should see a bigger target share in Week 3 with Sterling Shepard (toe) on Injured Reserve. That being said, it would be tough for fantasy managers to start Tate this week as he had just five targets for 47 yards in his first game of the season last […]

Ryan Tannehill Ready For Week 3

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrown six touchdowns in the first two weeks of the season while star running back Derrick Henry has yet to find the end zone. It's possible that the Titans offense is veering away from the run first mentality that they've been known for. Week three should be another good […]

Jeff Samardzija Returns To Rotation For Game 2 Friday

San Francisco Giants right-handed pitcher Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) was activated off of the injured list Friday and will start the second game of the doubleheader versus San Diego. Samardzija has not been on the mound since Aug. 7, having been hit hard in his three starts to the tune of a 9.88 ERA and 1.61 […]

Michael Thomas Ruled Out For Week 3

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. Thomas will miss his second straight game as he continues to deal with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered late in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The All-Pro wideout hasn't practiced yet since spraining his […]

Giants Defense Has Solid Matchup In Week 3

The New York Giants Defense will have streaming appeal versus a banged-up 49ers team in Week 3. The Giants Defense hasn't shown much through two weeks to warrant consideration in fantasy, but they are playable as a low-end starter this week. The 49ers will be without starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo and superstar tight end George […]

Hunter Renfroe Makes First Career Start At First Base Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Hunter Renfroe had played all of one career inning at first base entering play Friday, but that’s about to change. Tabbed to play first Friday against Philadelphia and right-hander Vince Velasquez, Renfroe will get a crack at the position as the team attempts to see if it could be a viable […]

Wayne Gallman Still Third In Giants Backfield

New York running back Wayne Gallman was a hot waiver wire pick-up in 2019 when Saquon Barkley went down with an injury, but won't have the same role this time around. Gallman was inactive in Week 2 and Dion Lewis took over RB1 duties after Barkley's injury. Lewis should still be ahead of Gallman in […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Progresses In Rehab, On Track For 2021

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (myocarditis) has been cleared to begin walking again soon, with his offseason rehab expected to be ramped up from there after complications from a bout with COVID-19. The expectation remains that the club will have Rodriguez back for the 2021 season, although how close to a full workload […]

J.K. Dobbins Looking To Rebound In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins will look to get back on track against the Chiefs on Monday night. After an impressive debut in Week 1 that resulted in the 21-year-old rushing for two scores against the Browns, he regressed in Week 2 against the Texans. While fantasy managers could be pleasantly surprised with a […]

Devonta Freeman Set To Play First Game For Giants

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman signed with the team on Tuesday and will immediately be thrust into action vs the 49ers this Sunday. Freeman is a former Pro-Bowler with the Falcons but has battled various injuries over the past couple of seasons. He spent the entire offseason as a free agent and signed […]

Eloy Jimenez Expected To Miss Rest Of Regular Season

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (foot) is not in the plans for this weekend’s series versus the Cubs due to the foot injury that he sustained Thursday. The fact that Jimenez is merely day-to-day and not requiring a stint on the injured list likely bodes well for his chances of suiting up during the […]

Alvin Kamara Should See Huge Workload Again

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets a great matchup in Week 3 against the Packers. Green Bay is a perfect example of a funnel defense, as they rank 13th in pass DVOA but 30th in rush DVOA. Kamara comes into the contest averaging 19 touches, 120 scrimmage yards and two scores per game […]

Dion Lewis Ready To Assume Bigger Role

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis will need to assume a larger role in the offense as Saquon Barkley (knee) is out for the season. Barkley certainly leaves big shoes to fill, but Lewis will not be alone in trying to replace the Pro-Bowl running back as Devonte Freeman and Wayne Gallman should also […]

Josh James Hits Injured List Friday

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Josh James (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list prior to Friday’s contest versus Texas with the club recalling righty Chase De Jong to take James’ place on the active roster. James has oscillated between starting and relieving over the past few seasons, with his numbers this year torpedoing any fantasy […]

Gus Edwards A Dart Throw In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards shouldn't be counted on for fantasy production in Week 3 against Kansas City. While the 25-year-old racked up 10 carries against the Texans, one more than Mark Ingram II, the presence of Ingram, quarterback Lamar Jackson, and rookie J.K. Dobbins makes him a risky option on Monday night. For […]

Jorge Soler, Greg Holland Land On Injured List, Ending Year

Kansas City Royals outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (oblique) and right-handed pitcher Greg Holland (oblique) were both placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest against Detroit, ending their respective 2020 campaigns. Soler played in 43 games and was unable to reclaim his epic power display from 2019, finishing the year with eight home […]

Daniel Jones Looking To Bounce Back Vs 49ers

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has gotten off to a rough start in 2020, but will look to right the ship in a home matchup against San Francisco. Jones has just two touchdowns and three interceptions through two games while also losing a fumble. Turnovers were Jones' primary issue as a rookie so it […]

Mark Ingram II A Risky Option In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II is a risky fantasy option in Week 3 against the Chiefs. The veteran was able to find the end zone in Week 2 against the Texans. However, he received one less carry than Gus Edwards, who ran for 73 yards on 10 attempts, and seven fewer than quarterback […]

Corbin Burnes Sustains Oblique Tear During Thursday’s Start

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Corbin Burnes (oblique) attempted to pitch through injury Thursday versus St. Louis, but it may have been his final appearance of the year. Burnes sustained a slight tear in his oblique, which will rule him out for the Wild Card series should Milwaukee advance, in addition to manager Craig Counsell not sounding […]

Drew Brees In The QB2 Range Against Packers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will face off against the undefeated Packers in Week 3. Brees comes into the contest with just 472 passing yards, three touchdowns and a bunch of questions about his ability to play quarterback at the age of 41. For all the concerns surrounding Brees, his fantasy floor has remained […]

Aaron Civale Will Shift To Relief Role For Wild Card Series

Cleveland Indians right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale will be bounced from the club’s starting rotation for the Wild Card Series, which is set to begin Tuesday. His omission indicates that the trio of Shane Bieber, Carlos Carrasco, and Zach Plesac will be tabbed for the three-game set, with pitching coach Carl Willis saying that Civale will […]

Jonathan Hernandez Seeks To Remain In Relief For 2021

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Jonathan Hernandez has excelled out of relief this season, a role that he has grown so comfortable in that he has informed the organization that he wants to stay in the bullpen for 2021. Having made 113 starts in the Minor Leagues (and two last season for the Rangers), Hernandez has […]

Jorge Alfaro Absent From Starting Nine Again Friday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro is not starting for the second consecutive game Friday versus the Yankees and left-hander J.A. Happ. Chad Wallach draws the start again behind the dish, batting ninth. After posting three consecutive seasons of at least 1.0 oWAR (per BRef), Alfaro has dipped to -0.1 this year with a .222/.271/.344 slash […]

Cavan Biggio, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Not Starting Friday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman/outfielder Cavan Biggio and outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. are absent from the club’s starting nine Friday against Baltimore and right-hander Jorge Lopez. With the Blue Jays already having clinched a playoff spot, manager Charlie Montoyo is getting a night off for two of the integral bats in his lineup. Biggio, who […]

Jeimer Candelario Lands On Injured List, 2020 Campaign Over

Detroit Tigers first/third baseman Jeimer Candelario (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest versus the Royals, ending his 2020 season. Candelario sustained a lower back strain during Thursday’s game, as he finished the year with career-highs across the board (.297 BA, .369 OBP, .503 SLG) despite a 1-for-23 finish. Brandon […]

Kris Bryant Cedes Way To Nico Hoerner At Third Friday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is not in the club’s starting lineup for Friday’s contest versus the White Sox and right-hander Dylan Cease. Nico Hoerner will instead man the hot corner with Bryant getting a day off amidst another cold spell at the dish. With just a .301 SLG on the year, Bryant has […]

Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, Christian Vazquez Sit Friday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, shortstop Xander Bogaerts, and catcher Christian Vazquez are all out of the club’s starting lineup Friday against Atlanta and right-hander Kyle Wright. Devers has been in a recent rut, with just a .188 on-base percentage over his last seven contests, while Vazquez has come out of his malaise […]
