Tarik Cohen Helped Off The Field In The Fourth Quarter

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen (leg) was helped off the field in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 3 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He injured his right leg and wasn't able to put pressure on it as he left the game. Cohen had two carries for 21 yards and caught three of […]

Cam Akers Out For Week 3

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (ribs) is out for Sunday's contest against the Buffalo Bills. Without Akers, expect Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson Jr. to split carries, with the advantage likely going to Henderson. Brown is a touchdown-dependent fantasy play, while Henderson has the potential to be a solid RB3. Both guys […]

Josh Jacobs, Darren Waller Active

No surprise here, as all reports indicated both would play, but it's now official: Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip) and tight end Darren Waller (knee) are both playing against the Patriots. Both players are must-play options in season-long leagues, with Waller being a TE1 option and Jacobs being a strong RB2 play. […]

Devonta Freeman Will Make Giants Debut Sunday

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman was just signed this week, but he'll officially be active for Sunday's meeting with a banged-up 49ers Defense. Freeman's a risky fantasy option for this week as he works his way into being part of a new team, but at some point this season, Freeman's going to be […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 2

This series carries over from last week, where I dived into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge of how each team's play-caller historically operates and compiled data to help make informed decisions throughout the […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 3 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 2 was chaotic, to say the least. Although some players were lucky to avoid being seriously injured last Sunday, others weren't so fortunate as Saquon Barkley, Nick Bosa, and Courtland Sutton will miss the remainder of the year. While those injuries alone are discouraging enough, there are also a ton of notable players who […]

Duke Johnson Jr. Inactive, Kenny Stills Active

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson Jr. (ankle) is inactive for the team's Week 3 contest against the Steelers, which means that David Johnson should function as the workhorse back for the team this week. It's a bad matchup for Johnson, but his projected volume gives him a good shot at being an RB2 on […]

All Falcons Players Cleared For Sunday

The Atlanta Falcons are good to go for Sunday's game against the Bears a day after cornerback A.J. Terrell tested positive for COVID-19. All Falcons' personnel were tested and the results came back negative, so the team is good to go for Sunday. It's a relief for the NFL, as Terrell was their first positive […]

Kenny Stills Expected To Play, Duke Johnson A Long-Shot

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (illness) is expected to play Sunday while running back Duke Johnson (ankle) is a long-shot to suit up against the Steelers. Stills was able to get a session in on Friday and Johnson was limited all week, so it's not surprising that the backup halfback is expected to miss […]

Josh Jacobs, Darren Waller Expected To Play In Week 3

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip) and tight end Darren Waller (knee) are both expected to suit up for a Week 3 matchup with the Patriots. Both players were held out of practice earlier in the week but were able to get limited sessions in on Friday. It's likely that Las Vegas was […]

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 3 Lineups

Through two weeks of fantasy football, it has quickly become apparent that success in 2020 may be about avoiding the massive injury bug as much as having a potent roster. Players seem to be going down at a rapid rate as we have lost some of the superstars in the game early on. With Saquon […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts - Week 3

Fantasy football players have learned a lot through two weeks of the 2020 NFL season. The most important lesson is that you better be prepared if your fantasy squad suffers a string of torn ACLs, hamstring pulls and concussions. New York’s Saquon Barkley is out for the season with a torn ACL, while Carolina’s Christian […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

Week 2 saw another great day of action, but some teams will begin looking very different after devastating injuries across the league. Saquon Barkley, Nick Bosa, Courtland Sutton, are all out for the season with torn ACLs. Malik Hooker is done with a torn Achilles. Christian McCaffrey and Drew Lock will miss some time. Jimmy Garoppolo […]

La'Mical Perine Could Get More Involved

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) was able to fully practice on Thursday, which means he should be fine for the Week 3 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts. He made his NFL debut last week, but didn't see many chances. Perine carried the ball three times for 17 yards in the loss. He […]

Frank Gore Should See Heavy Workload

New York Jets running back Frank Gore saw plenty of chances versus the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. The veteran back finished with 63 rushing yards on 21 carries in the loss. The Jets are still without Le'Veon Bell (hamstring), which means Gore is going to be leaned on in the running game. Sadly, […]

Rex Burkhead Likely To Be Steadily Involved Again

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is likely going to see an increased amount of playing time with James White (personal) ruled out for Week 3. Burkhead rushed six times for two yards and caught four passes for 47 yards last week without White available. He doesn't have great fantasy value, but could be […]

James White Remains Inactive For Week 3

New England Patriots running back James White (personal) has been ruled out for the Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's unclear when White will return to the team after his father died in a car accident last weekend. His mother was in critical condition after the accident. Both Sony Michel and Rex […]

Sony Michel Risky Option In Week 3

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel has struggled to get anything going on the ground early in the season. He was basically a non-factor against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. Michel rushed seven times for 19 yards in the loss. He'll get a matchup against a weaker Las Vegas Raiders run defense. However, […]

Devin Singletary Has Good Upside In Week 3

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has been fairly average through the first two games of the regular season. He rushed 10 times for 56 yards in the victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. He continues to split up the carries with rookie Zack Moss, which hurts his value. However, he'll get a […]

Devin Singletary To Operate As Lead Back In Week 3

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary will operate as the team's lead back in Week 3 with rookie Zack Moss (toe) declared out for the contest against the Rams. That should open up at least 15 touches for Singletary against a Rams Defense that ranks 27th in rush DVOA. It's a great opportunity for the […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable Against Patriots

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Patriots. Tight end Darren Waller (knee) is also questionable. Both players were able to get limited practice sessions in on Friday after not being available earlier in the week and should be able to suit up Sunday. At […]

Sammy Watkins Questionable, Darrel Williams To Play

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (concussion, neck) is questionable for Week 3 against the Ravens while running back Darrel Williams (ankle) will suit up. Watkins was able to practice in full on Saturday after getting in a limited session on Friday, so he's heading in the right direction. The veteran receiver is a […]
