Curtis Samuel A Flex Piece For Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel should be considered a flex piece for the Week 1 matchup against the Raiders. The addition of Robby Anderson means Samuel will have to fight for targets and earn a bigger receiving role behind WR1 D.J. Moore. It remains to be seen who Teddy Bridgewater will target more out […]

Robby Anderson A Flex, At Best, In Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson should be considered a flex option, at best, in this week's matchup against the Raiders. With Anderson making his Carolina debut this week, it remains to be seen how large of a role he will have in this passing offense. The WR will have to fend off Curtis Samuel […]

Gleyber Torres Hits His Second Home Run Of The Season

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres hit his second home run of the season as part of a two-hit, four-RBI game against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Torres had collected only two hits over four games since returning from the injured list on September 5, but the 23-year-old had been heating up before landing on […]

Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola, D'Andre Swift Limited

Detroit Lions wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Danny Amendola (hamstring) and rookie running back D'Andre Swift (hip) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be good to go, barring any setbacks, for Week 1 against the Bears. Golladay is the clear No. 1 in Detroit and finished as a top-10 […]

D.J. Moore A Low-End WR1 In Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a low-end WR1 for this week's matchup against the Raiders. Moore is coming off a breakout second season in which he had 135 targets, 87 receptions, and 1,175 yards. The Raiders ranked in the middle in terms of points allowed to WRs last season, but Moore's huge role […]

Deivi Garcia Bounces Back On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia was great against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing two runs over seven innings with six strikeouts and no walks. Garcia generated an impressive 14.7% swinging-strike rate for the game, and only six of the 20 balls in play he allowed were hard-hit. Garcia now owns a 3.06 […]

Ian Thomas A TE2 In Week 1

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is a good TE2 for the Week 1 matchup against the Raiders. With Greg Olsen now gone, Thomas will become the TE1 of the Panthers and he has no competition for his role. It's important to note the TE has been dealing with a toe injury recently, but the […]

Justice Hill, Chris Moore Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) did not practice on Wednesday. Hill saw just 55 carries in his rookie season and is behind Mark Ingram II and Gus Edwards on the depth chart, so he's firmly off the radar for starting lineups in Week 1 against the Browns. […]

Panthers Defense Not A Streaming Option In Week 1

The Carolina Panthers Defense should not be started in this week's matchup against the Raiders. The Panthers had a lot of turnover on defense this past offseason with Luke Kuechly retiring and the losses of Mario Addison, Gerald McCoy, James Bradberry, Eric Reid, and Bruce Irvin, notably. Now, the infusion of new, young defensive players […]

Madison Bumgarner A Risky Option On Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Madison Bumgarner will face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night in his second start since returning from the injured list. Bumgarner has been abysmal during his first season with the Diamondbacks, posting an 8.44 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 15/9 K/BB rate. Couple that with the fact that the Dodgers are the […]

Chargers Slowly Working Mike Williams Back In

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is slowly being worked back into practice this week. Williams was listed as a limited participant in practice, giving him a chance to play in Week 1 against the Bengals. However, even if Williams is active for the season opener, he […]

Joey Slye Best Left On The Bench

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye should be left on the bench for this week's matchup against the Raiders. Las Vegas ranked 19th in points allowed to kickers last season, making them a generally tough matchup for the position. Slye also went 25 of 32 on field goal attempts last season, good for 78.1 percent. It's […]

Christian McCaffrey Is A Must-Start In Week 1

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is coming off a record fantasy season last year in which he finished with the second-most fantasy points of all time. The running back is truly elite in the rushing and passing game and is the focal point of the Carolina offense. Despite the Raiders being middle-tier in terms […]

Mike Pouncey To Be Game-Time Decision Against Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that center Mike Pouncey (neck) will be a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Bengals for an injury related to his neck injury from last year. Pouncey played in just five games last year because of his neck injury, so this is a concern for the […]

Teddy Bridgewater Should Be Avoided In Week 1

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will be making his debut this week with the team. Bridgewater last played in 2019 with the New Orleans Saints in a total of nine games and started in five. Now in a new system, it's best to wait and see how the QB performs with a new set of […]

Andrea Lee Looking To Rebound From Recent Split-Decision Losses

Andrea Lee (11-4) has suffered a couple heartbreaking losses recently, losing her last two bouts via split decision. After successful runs in LFA and Invicta FC, Lee bursted onto the UFC scene, winning her first two bouts by decision. Boasting a high-striking output, Lee averages 5.40 significant strikes per minute and absorbs strikes at a […]

Shawn Armstrong Resumes Throwing Program

Baltimore Orioles reliever Shawn Armstrong (back) started a throwing program on Wednesday at the team's alternate training site. The 30-year-old has not appeared in a game since August 22, and he is already eligible to return from the injured list. Armstrong was enjoying a stellar 2020 season, posting a 2.19 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 12/3 […]

Jaguars Signing Dare Ogunbowale

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the process of signing former Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale on Wednesday after the special teams ace met with the Raiders earlier this week. Even in a Jacksonville backfield that no longer features Leonard Fournette, Ogunbowale, who is more of a pass-catching back, could struggle to carve out a role. […]

Devine Ozigbo Misses Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Colts. Ozigbo performed well in training camp and was in line for some early down carries to begin the year after the team released Leonard Fournette, but he's not a lock to suit up in the season opener. […]

Chris Paddack Looking To Silence Giants On Thursday

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack will face the San Francisco Giants in his next start on Thursday evening. The 24-year-old is coming off of inefficient appearance against the Oakland Athletics, where he allowed four runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. Paddack has an unexpectedly high 4.75 ERA coming into Thursday's start, but […]

La'Mical Perine Misses Practice Wednesday

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Bills. Perine recently suffered a low-ankle sprain, but he's not expected to be out for long. That doesn't mean he'll necessarily be active for the season opener this Sunday, though, and he's third on the […]

Mike Rodriguez Looking To Continue His Hot Summer

Mike Rodriguez (11-4) had a successful August, defeating Marcin Prachno by first-round knockout. All 11 of his career victories have come by finish, with nine of those coming by knockout. Rodriguez has a decent strike rate, landing 4.17 significant strikes per minute, along with 79% of those strikes coming in the standup or in the […]

Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder, Denzel Mims Practice In Full

New York Jets wide receivers Breshad Perriman (knee), Jamison Crowder (hamstring) and rookie Denzel Mims (hamstring) all practiced in full on Wednesday. All three players should be able to suit up in the Week 1 season opener on the road against the Bills. Perriman will be the team's de facto No. 1 receiver with Robby […]

Eddie Rosario Starting To Produce

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario has enjoyed a productive start to September after enduring a dismal start to 2020. Rosario is slashing .303/.324/.545 with two homers and seven RBI through 33 at-bats in the month. Most importantly, perhaps, is that Rosario has only struck out once in the eight games. On the surface, his season […]

Miles Sanders, Jalen Reagor Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) and rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Sanders is considered day-to-day for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team, but it's a positive that he returned to practice at all. There's a chance that Philly could manage Sanders' workload early in […]

Josh Donaldson Enjoys Productive Doubleheader

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson was a combined 3-for-6 with a three-run homer and two walks during Tuesday's doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals. Donaldson is still trying to shake the rust off after missing all of August with a calf strain. The 34-year-old is slashing .244/.396/.512 with three homers and eight RBI in […]

Julian Edelman On Week 1 Injury Report

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Dolphins. Edelman somehow usually finds his way onto the injury report but usually plays, so we'd expect him to be active for the season opener this Sunday. Miami upgraded their secondary in […]
