Ben Roethlisberger Good To Go Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral) was a full participant in practice on Friday and is good to go in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Roethlisberger was taken off the final injury report. Big Ben is pretty tough. We know that. But his left pectoral injury is something to watch in this divisional matchup. […]

Jordan Mailata Unlikely To Play Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata (knee) isn't expected to play on Monday night in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys after he suffered a sprained MCL in practice on Thursday. The injury isn't considered to be long-term, but Andre Dillard is expected to take over on quarterback Jalen Hurts' blind side on Monday night […]

What Will Derek Carr's Impact Be In Week 3?

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is slated to start on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, but his impact in Week 3 is still up for debate. The 30-year-old signal-caller injured his ankle in last week's 26-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and while head coach Jon Gruden told the media earlier this week Carr […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/24/21)

We have another big weekend of college football DFS for you this week. There is a showdown slate for Thursday with just one game going on. Friday we have four games, headlined by Wake Forest heading up to Charlottesville for a conference tilt with the Hoos. We kick the night off with Middle Tennessee State […]

Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown Questionable For Week 3

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) are listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. Jackson returned to a full practice on Friday and is expected to play after sitting out on Thursday with a stomach bug. He's a must-start high-end QB1 against an 0-2 Lions team […]

Trade Them in Dynasty Before It's Too Late

Last week, I discussed players worth acquiring in dynasty leagues before their stock continued to rise. You can read that article here, as it's still relevant in the dynasty realm. This time, we'll do the opposite and examine a few players to consider moving on from before the rug is pulled from underneath you and […]

Robby Anderson To Be More Involved In Offense?

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson put up a dud on Thursday night for fantasy managers, finishing with just one catch for eight yards. Head coach Matt Rhule said on Friday that the offense "has to find a way to get the ball to Anderson more, he's been open." Sam Darnold attempted 34 passes against […]

Darnell Mooney Questionable Against Browns

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. He has been limited all throughout practice this week, so this is something to monitor ahead of kickoff. With Justin Fields now starting at quarterback, Mooney and the entire offense has a […]

Bold Predictions for Week 3

Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like excrement at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]

Carson Wentz Will Be A Game-Day Call

The Indianapolis Colts are saying that quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) will be a game-time decision in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. Wentz missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday and was looking doubtful to play this Sunday, but his limited practice participation on Friday will at least give him a chance to suit up after […]

Trevor Lawrence A Speculative Streamer In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a questionable streaming option in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Lawrence has struggled in each of his two NFL games to date, and the entire Jaguars offense has looked out of sorts. Through two weeks Lawrence has thrown five interceptions to four touchdowns, and he managed just […]

Tom Brady A Low-End QB1 Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a low-end QB1 against the Rams this week. Brady has been phenomenal to start the season, throwing for 655 yards, nine touchdowns, and two picks in just two games. The 44-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down and this week's contest against Los Angeles could likely be […]

Zach Wilson Avoidable Versus Denver

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson came out strong during his NFL debut, but it came crashing down in Week 2. Wilson threw four interceptions in what was an ugly loss to the New England Patriots in his second career game. Right now, Wilson is giving fantasy managers mixed signals as we head into Week […]

Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown Back At Practice Friday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) both returned to practice on Friday after sitting out on Thursday. Jackson was dealing with a stomach bug on Thursday, but he should be good to go for Week 3 against the Detroit Lions in an excellent matchup. Keep an eye on his […]

Carson Wentz Practicing Friday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) is practicing on Friday, which means that he is still in play to start in Week 3 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans on Sunday. As of Thursday, Wentz was unlikely to play after not practicing at all during the week, but his practice session on Friday at least gives […]

Week 3 Red Zone Alert - Risers and Fallers

Paying attention to which players are used heavily in the red zone is one of the keys to success in fantasy football. I'll be here each week to break down the players at each position who are having the most impact inside the 20 with multiple charts to bring home the points. Before we get […]

Jameis Winston Not A Worthy Starter Against Patriots

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is not a viable starter against the Patriots in Week 3. Winston has started off the season in no other matter than he's always shown, which is inconsistent. After throwing fives scores in the season opener, the QB followed it up in Week 2 with no touchdowns and two […]

Jamison Crowder To Be Game-Time Decision

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) will be a game-time decision for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The 28-year-old has been held out of back-to-back games to begin the season, so it is probably best to leave him out of fantasy lineups even if he is active […]

Curtis Samuel Could Practice Next Week

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) could be returning to practice next week, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Samuel has been dealing with this nagging issue since minicamp in June and re-aggravated it prior to the season opener, leading to him being placed on injured reserve. "He's had a good, solid week. […]

Davis Mills Throws First Career Touchdown Pass Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 19 of 28 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown in Thursday's 24-9 loss to the Panthers. Mills took four sacks and was under duress on several more plays but managed to take care of the football, completing an impressive 67.9 percent of his passes in his first start […]

Sam Darnold Throws For 304 Yards, Scores Two Touchdowns

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold completed 23 of 34 passes for 304 yards with two rushing touchdowns in Thursday's win over the Texans. Darnold failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time this season but exceeded the 300-yard passing mark for the second consecutive contest- which ties his career-high for a season- averaging […]

Danny Amendola Among Texans Inactives

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) will be among the team's inactives in Week 3 versus the Carolina Panthers. Amendola has been dealing with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out past Week 3. Cornerback Justin Reid, quarterback Deshaun Watson, tight end Brevin Jordan, defensive back Terrance Mitchell, defensive lineman Jordan Jenkins […]

Ben Roethlisberger Practices On A Limited Basis Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral) was upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after he did not participate in Wednesday's session. Roethlisberger being upgraded bodes well for his availability for Week 3's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. It remains to be seen just how effectively the 39-year-old quarterback can throw against Cincy but he […]

Carson Wentz Misses Another Practice

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankle) missed another practice on Thursday. Wentz has been an adequate game manager for the Colts thus far, but projects to miss time due to injury. Backup quarterback Jacob Eason would replace Wentz if he in fact misses time. Eason's sloppy play in Week 2 doesn't pose much of a […]

Early-Season Fantasy Realities and Illusions: The Engel Eye

With just two weeks completed in the 2021 fantasy football season, we are still getting a feel for some emerging player trends. It may be too early to panic on some established standouts who are not quite performing up to expectations, while some surprise players out of the gate still have to prove themselves more […]

Jumping Ship on Bad Offenses?

Sometimes, a bad offense can sink a good player. It happens every year. In 2020, for instance, the Bengals scored the fourth-fewest points in the NFL. Tyler Boyd was targeted 10 times, but only finished with 841 yards and four touchdowns, dropping almost 10 yards per game over his 2019 numbers despite a catch rate […]

Regardless of your current record, there is work to be done. There is no perfect roster. Each fantasy lineup has weak spots and fantasy managers cannot become […]

Which Rookie QB Will Be Best in Fantasy? Head of the Class

We all know the names. From Trevor Lawrence to Mac Jones, five of the first 15 picks in the 2021 NFL draft were at the quarterback position. The big difference is the situations in which each player was drafted. Were they drafted to the worst team in the league (Jacksonville)? Or were they taken by […]
