Daniel Jones Draws Beatable Matchup In Week 4

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is experiencing a rough start to the 2023 season but draws the Seattle Seahawks at home in Week 4.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (thigh) is expected to return to game action against the Green Bay Packers, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Is Quentin Johnston A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 4? Waiver Wire Outlook

Losing one key player to an injury can alter an entire offensive identity. Generally, that player is the quarterback. Case and point: The Jets' offense following an Achilles tear for Aaron Rodgers. But it isn't always the quarterback that changes an offense. In Week 1 with a healthy Austin Ekeler, the Chargers rushed the ball […]

Jaylen Warren Tallies 11 Touches Versus Las Vegas

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren carried the ball eight times for 29 yards and caught three passes for 23 yards in the team's 23-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Joshua Palmer Scores A Touchdown Versus Minnesota

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Joe Burrow's Status Still A Question Mark

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is still uncertain for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The signal-caller is a true game-time decision with a calf strain that he aggravated last week. Burrow did gradually take more work in practices and handled first-team repetitions during Sunday's walkthrough. He is officially listed as questionable. If […]

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is being evaluated for a concussion following the loss to the Steelers on Sunday Night Football.

Mike Williams Feared To Have Serious Knee Injury

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) may have a serious, potentially season-ending knee injury. Deep into the third quarter, the seventh-year veteran went down clutching his left knee. When he was able to get up off of the field, Williams was unable to put weight on that knee. If an MRI confirms what […]

Fantasy Football Week 3 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dameon Pierce, Kyle Pitts, Rhamondre Stevenson, Justin Fields

I’ll admit, I was wrong about Puka Nacua. I listed the wide receiver as a bust in Week 2, thinking there was no way he would get anywhere close to the 10 catches and 119 yards he gathered in Week 1. Instead, Stafford peppered Nacua with 20 targets and the rookie now leads the league […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Once is happenstance. Twice is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. We're learning more and more about these 32 football teams as the weeks go by but we still have a little bit to go before we really grasp a sense of the power rankings. There is a bevy of teams favored by a touchdown […]

Should I Start Alexander Mattison in Week 3? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Rule Number 1 of fantasy football: Don't sit your studs. Rule Number 2 of fantasy football: Don't send hate messages to players who have bad weeks. Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison struggled to find running room in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles' highly-touted defensive line. He also fumbled the ball twice (one of […]

Should I Start Nico Collins in Week 3? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Boomshakalaka! In NBA Jam (an early 1990's video game for the uncultured), when a player hits twice in a row, he's heating up. Once that third shot goes in, he's on fire. If Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has another strong performance in Week 3, the sideline staff will need fire extinguishers. The 2023 […]

Should I Start Zack Moss in Week 3? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

In a desolate wasteland, a desperate 0-2 fantasy manager hunts for an RB2. They've lost their companions Austin Ekeler and J.K. Dobbins along the way.

Is Aaron Jones Playing In Week 3? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Does this look like a man who just suffered an injury that would force him to miss at least one game? This was Aaron Jones just moments after injuring his hamstring on a long touchdown catch in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. I don't know about you, but I'm not in that kind of […]

Should I Start Christian Kirk in Week 3? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Have patience with all things, but first of all with your fantasy football team. Some fantasy managers who sat through Christian Kirk's Week 1 performance (one catch for nine yards) wanted to give him the boot, or at least move him to the bench. Those who were patient with the Jaguars' wideout were rewarded with […]

Parris Campbell Leads Giants In Catches In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell caught all six of his targets, but only for a grand total of 24 yards, in the team's 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. His longest effort on the day went for seven yards. Campbell became a primary option on the offense as the Giants' game plan […]

Darren Waller Catches Less Than Half Of His Targets In Loss

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller caught just three of his seven targets for 20 yards in the team's 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' game plan was to get the ball out of Jones' hands quickly, and he rarely took the chance downfield to the veteran tight end. Jones' lone […]

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22 passes for 137 yards, zero touchdowns, and an interception in the team's 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Should I Drop Tyler Higbee? Fantasy Football Outlook

When Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was placed on injured reserve, tight end Tyler Higbee got a boost in the rankings. Number 89 proved earlier in his career that he could be a top receiving option for Matthew Stafford. Without Kupp, the Rams were left with a third-year receiver with 18 career catches […]

Matt Breida Scores A Touchdown In Week 3

New York Giants running back Matt Breida scored a touchdown on limited touches in the team's 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Less than 24 hours after releasing Nathan Peterman, the Chicago Bears have re-signed the veteran quarterback to the active roster. Peterman will presumably be the Bears' backup to Justin Fields in Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent will serve as the emergency quarterback. The 29-year-old Peterman has played in 13 games in […]

Parris Campbell Searching For A Productive Performance

When the New York Giants brought in wide receiver Parris Campbell this past offseason, there were hopes that he would emerge from a group of middling wideouts. Thus far in 2023, he's caught half of his ten targets for only 23 yards. His reception total mixes right in with the totals from fellow receivers Darius […]

Graham Gano Not A Strong Kicker Option In Week 3

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has only knocked through one field goal so far in 2023 and chances may be hard to come by in Week 3 against San Francisco. The 49ers' defense is one of the best units in football, meaning the Giants will likely have fewer scoring opportunities on Thursday Night Football. […]

Eric Gray Could Receive Backfield Touches In Week 3

New York Giants running back Eric Gray has been relegated to special teams duty so far in his NFL career but he could see some opportunities on offense in Week 3 due to the absence of starter Saquon Barkley (ankle).

Darren Waller A Safe Tight End Option In Week 3

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller is a top-five option at the tight end position in Week 3, despite a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' offense will have to lean on their veteran due to the absence of running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). Through two games, the ex-Raider has caught […]

Isaiah Hodgins A Desperation Play In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins scored a touchdown in Week 2 but that opportunity will be tougher to come by on Thursday Night Football against San Francisco. The 24-year-old only has eight targets through two games in 2023, converting five of those for 64 yards. The Giants' offense may struggle to move the […]
