Lamar Jackson Draws Favorable Matchup On Sunday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has a favorable matchup heading into Week 1 against Cleveland. While the Browns held its own against opposing quarterbacks in some areas last season, it gave up a second-worst 382 yards and three touchdowns to that position in 2019.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka took his second loss of the season on Sunday after allowing four runs (two earned) over 5.1 innings against the Orioles.

Minnesota Twins first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. is leading off for the first time this season on Monday against the Detroit Tigers.

Duke Johnson Is Risky Week 1 Option

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson carries a lot of fantasy risk heading into Houston's Week 1 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Chiefs allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to backs last season, Duke Johnson's projected role now that Houston's acquired David Johnson is hard to predict. The best thing for fantasy managers […]

Tyler Boyd Hopes To Keep Momentum Going

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd is coming off two-straight 1,000-yard seasons and will look to keep his momentum going heading into the 2020 season.

David Johnson Has Upside In Texans Debut

Houston Texans running back David Johnson will make his Houston Texans debut on Thursday night when the Texans face the Kansas City Chiefs.

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson doesn't have the easiest matchup on Thursday night when he faces the Kansas City Chiefs, but he remains a solid starting option.

Fantasy Bretheren, listen up.  There has never been a year that is more fitting for #AllBenchRB. Just ask @Raphstradamus and El Camello!
