Jamison Crowder A Low-End WR2 During Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder is probably going to be the team's best receiving option this season. He's currently listed as the No. 2 option, but will probably carry the most value. Sadly, he'll begin the season versus the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. A team that defends against the passing game very […]

Expect A Strong Finish For Christian Yelich

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich got off to a slow start to the 2020 season, going just 1-for-27 in July. He slugged seven home runs in August, but still hit an uninspiring .244 over the month. However, his year-long peripheral stats are still extremely promising. He has a 50.5% hard-hit rate on the year, which […]

Breshad Perriman Should Play Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee) was able to fully practice on Wednesday. It seems like he'll be good to play during their Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Perriman is listed as the Jets No. 1 receiver, but his fantasy value isn't that great. The Bills defend well versus the passing […]

Philip Rivers Looks To Rebound In Indianapolis

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers had a tough 2019 season in Los Angeles, going 5-11 and finishing with the second-worst quarterback rating of his career. He will get a fresh start in Indianapolis, where he inherits one of the best offensive lines in football. Rivers' lack of mobility at his age makes protection even more […]

Von Miller To Have Surgery On Ankle

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) visited with Dr. Robert Anderson on Thursday and will have surgery to fix his dislocated tendon, according to a source. Miller will be out for at least three months and is unlikely to play in 2020. It's a huge blow to Denver's defense, as Miller and Bradley Chubb were […]

Frank Gore Should Be Avoided Versus Bills

New York Jets running back Frank Gore is always fun to watch play, but might not carry much fantasy value this season. Le'Veon Bell is expected to be the workhorse running back in New York. While Gore is expected to see playing time with the Jets. It probably won't be enough carries to make him […]

Le'Veon Bell Looking For Bounce-Back Season

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell struggled to get much going last season, but it wasn't all his fault. The Jets had a horrendous offensive line, so most running backs would likely to have value. The good news is, the Jets addressed their offensive line issues over the offseason. Bell is expected to bounce […]

Brad Miller Sitting In Game 1 On Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Brad Miller is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the team's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. The Tigers have left-hander Tarik Skubal on the mound, and the Cardinals have been hesitant to throw the left-handed Miller out against lefties so far this year. He only has […]

Joshua Kelley Could Have Big Role In First Season

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley flashed his potential in training camp this year and could have a big role behind Austin Ekeler in his first year in the NFL.

Sam Darnold Likely To Struggle In Week 1

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is looking for a bounce-back season with an improved offensive line in 2020. The bad news is that Darnold's first test will be against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, a team that gave up the third-fewest amount of fantasy points to quarterbacks last season. The Jets don't exactly […]

Sophomore Slump: Second-Year Players That Will Decline

For some NFL players, the rookie year is for adjustment and getting acclimated to the NFL system. Many rookies thus don’t perform that well in fantasy because their roles are still being carved or they are simply too small. Nevertheless, there are some rookies who outperform their expectations by having a huge role in their […]

Zach Ertz Frustrated By Contract Talks

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, who recently broke off contract extension talks with the team, said that "it's been frustrating at times." Ertz said he wants to remain in Philadelphia, but "I don't know for sure if that feeling is mutual." The 29-year-old tight end wants a contract sooner than later, but the Eagles […]

"Starting" Running Backs to Ignore in Fantasy Football

Once upon a time, you could figure out which running backs to draft and play in fantasy by looking at a team's depth, seeing who the starting running back was, and then drafting that guy. It was a simpler time. Depth charts made sense. Backup running backs were backup running backs. But football has changed. […]

Dawson Knox A Risky Option Against Jets

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could be a tough fantasy option to trust for their Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets. Knox is the No. 1 tight end on the roster, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. The Jets gave up the fifth fewest amount of fantasy points to tight ends […]

Cole Beasley Could Be Tough To Trust

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley could see his value trending down this season. Both Stefon Diggs and John Browns are ahead of him on the depth chart. Beasley will still see targets, but probably not enough to hold value in most formats. He'll have a decent chance to do some damage against the New […]

Clayton Kershaw Surrenders Four Runs In No-Decision

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw gave up four runs (three earned) on four hits in five innings of work during Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He struck out three batters while walking two. It was just the second time all year that Kershaw surrendered more than a single run in a start. […]

John Brown Has WR2 Value Versus Jets

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown will be the No. 2 option going forward with Stefon Diggs joining the team. Despite that, his fantasy value should remain about the same as it was before. He'll kick off the season with a matchup against the New York Jets. A team that heavily struggled at defending the […]

Trevor Story Hits Solo Shot On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. It was Story's first home run since August 24, but he has stolen eight bases since that time. The 27-year-old is having another dominant campaign, slashing .292/.367/.554 with 10 homers, 22 RBI, 34 runs […]

Why Noah Fant Will Be This Year's Breakout Tight End

Every year in fantasy football, the tight end position is, for lack of a better word, mediocre. There are a few stars at the top and then a group of indistinguishable players in the middle. Sometimes though, there is one who waded through the muck and rises to the top of the heap. Last season, […]

Russell Wilson Is A Lock For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has continued to put up absolutely insane numbers throughout his career. In 2020, we expect that to continue with a big start in Week 1. This Atlanta Falcons team is in an interesting position. On offense, they're loaded, but the defense is a big question mark. Last season, they were […]

Clay Matthews Open To Playing In 2020

Despite not being able to come to an agreement with the Denver Broncos after visiting them, free-agent linebacker Clay Matthews remains open to play in 2020, "provided it's the right opportunity for him and his family," agent Ryan Williams said in a statement. The Broncos are looking for some linebacking help after releasing Todd Davis […]

Statcast Starting Pitcher Leaders - Hard Hit Rate

The 2020 MLB season is now nearing the playoff stretch, both in real-life and fantasy. Sad as that may be, the next two weeks are crucial to all contenders. Luckily, due to the extremely short season, those in need of help with pitching ratios in 5x5 leagues can still turn things around as opposed to […]

Stefon Diggs Has Excellent Matchup

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs is preparing to suit up for the first time with his new organization. He'll begin his new journey with a great matchup against the New York Jets in Week 1. The Jets heavily struggled defending against the deep pass last season. Quarterback Josh Allen loves throwing deep and Diggs […]

Tommy Milone Shelled For Eight Runs Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starter Tommy Milone allowed eight runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings of work during Wednesday's 29-9 win over the Miami Marlins. He struck out four batters while walking two. On any other day, Milone would likely leave with a loss, but the offense bailed him out in a big way. Regardless, […]

Reynaldo Lopez Recalled

The Chicago White Sox have recalled starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez from their alternative training facility. Lopez has had a rough year with a shoulder injury and he has really struggled on the mound when active. He was recently optioned and owns an unimpressive 8.38 ERA in four starts and 9 2/3 innings.

Trevor Rosenthal Cements Sweep With Perfect Ninth

San Diego Padres closer Trevor Rosenthal pitched a perfect ninth inning Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies for his second save as a Friar and ninth overall. Rosenthal has now posted four scoreless frames for his new squad with six strikeouts and holds a 2.55 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 13.8 K/9 across 18 total appearances. Emerging […]

Dallas Keuchel Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel (back) has been sidelined with back spasms and was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 7. The veteran lefty made an early exit on Sunday, and the team announced on Wednesday he wouldn’t pitch in his upcoming start. However, they expect him to […]
