Travis Kelce Only Hauls in Three Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could've had a big day in fantasy, but failed to haul in over half his targets. Kelce finished with three receptions on eight targets for 88 yards in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It wasn't all Kelce's fault, some of the passes were thrown poorly by […]

Tyreek Hill Goes for 16 Yards Before Exiting

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) caught both his targets for 16 yards before exiting the game due to a collarbone issue. The Chiefs still ended up winning 40-26 over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hill was taken to the hospital, but received good news. He won't need surgery, so he's only going to miss […]

Sammy Watkins Explodes for Three Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had one of the biggest games in Chiefs' history on Sunday. Watkins caught nine receptions for 198 yards and three touchdowns in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the fifth biggest receiving performance in team history. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is going to be sidelined for […]

LeSean McCoy Rushes for 81 Yards Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy had a solid game on the ground, but it didn't develop into many fantasy points. McCoy rushed 10 times for 81 yards and he did not score in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lead back Damien Williams only rushed for 26 yards on 13 attempts. It […]

Damien Williams Scores TD in Victory

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was not strong in the run game, but salvaged his fantasy day in the passing game. Williams rushed 13 times for 26 yards and a touchdown. He caught six passes for 39 yards and finished second on the team in total receptions. LeSean McCoy out-rushed him, but Williams […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Three Touchdowns Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looks like he hasn't missed a beat since last season. He completed 25-of-33 passes for 378 yards and three touchdowns in the 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. Mahomes threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns before halftime. He didn't do as much in the second […]

Darwin Thompson Has Minimal Value

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson went from late-round steal to the waiver wire in a matter of a week. The signing of veteran running back LeSean McCoy has basically taken away all Thompson's value in one fell swoop. Lead back Damien Williams and McCoy are expected to see almost all the touches in […]

Travis Kelce Should Dominate on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was basically unstoppable last season and that's expected to carry over into this season. Kelce has scored 18 touchdowns since the start of the 2017, which is tied for the most among tight ends. He heads into a matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 that struggle […]

Sammy Watkins A WR2 Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins is once again predicted to have a solid fantasy season, but injuries are going to dictate that. Watkins seems to have the potential to be a reliable fantasy wideout, but it never comes to fruition. Tyreek Hill is going to be the No. 1 receiver for the Chiefs, […]

Bryce Harper is Fine After Getting Hit

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (hand) avoided any serious injury after getting hit on the wrist during Friday's game against the New York Mets. Harper said afterwards he was unable to grip the bat. However, the Phillies are listing him as day-to-day with a hand contusion. The X-rays came back negative, so he'll likely just […]

Matt Carpenter is Out on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Carpenter will get a routine day off here against the left-handed starter. Tommy Edman will cover third base and bat seventh versus lefty Steven Brault. Edman has been reliable with the bat over the […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Sits Out Versus Yankees

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Bradley is getting a routine rest day here against the left-handed starter. Mookie Betts will bat leadoff and cover center field versus lefty J.A. Happ. Betts is hitting .419 over the last seven […]

Anthony Kay Will Start on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Anthony Kay will make his major league debut against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. The former first round pick was traded to the Blue Jays in the deal that sent Marcus Stroman to the Mets. He's been pitching well during his brief time in the minors with the Jays. […]

Nelson Cruz Exits Early on Friday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) was removed early from Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Cruz is dealing with a sore left wrist, but this appears to be a minor issue. Cruz is hitting .305/.384/.627 with 35 home runs and 92 RBI this season, so the Twins can't afford to lose him. He […]

George Springer Able to Swing on Friday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (concussion) was able to get into the cage and take some swings on Friday. He suffered a mild concussion after crashing into the wall on Tuesday. The fact that he's taking batting practice is a good sign that he'll hopefully be able to return soon. He's been having a monster […]

Nick Senzel Remains Sidelined on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the fourth game in a row that Senzel has been unable to suit up due to a nagging shoulder issue. He ran into the wall over a week ago and his shoulder is still […]

Ramon Laureano Activated on Friday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (shin) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Friday. Laureano was sidelined in late July after suffering a stress fracture in his shin. The Athletics may decide to ease him back into action, so his fantasy value could take a hit. Laureano has been a bright spot to […]

Tyler Glasnow Will Start Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) will be activated from the injured list and make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Glasnow pitched well during his rehab appearances, so he's set to join the active roster. However, Glasnow is only expected to pitch a few innings, but this is a […]

Joe Ross Scratched From Start

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (forearm) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves. Ross felt some discomfort in his forearm while throwing a bullpen session. The Nats will skip his turn in the rotation and it's unclear when he'll return to the rotation. Austin Voth will draw the […]

Mike Yastrzemski Sits Out on Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yastrzemski will get a routine day off here to rest against the left-handed starter. Joey Rickard will bat sixth and play left field versus lefty Clayton Kershaw. Rickard is not worth a look against […]

Craig Kimbrel Expects to Return Thursday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel (elbow) expects to return from the injured list when first eligible on Thursday. The Cubs have shut down Kimbrel for a few days due to his elbow inflammation. Steve Cishek and Pedro Strop are the two favorites to see save chances. However, manager Joe Maddon will likely go with […]

Mike Moustakas Remains Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (hand) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Manager Craig Counsell said that Moustakas isn't making much progress from his hand injury. Hernan Perez will play third base and bat sixth versus lefty Cole Hamels. Perez doesn't have much upside with the bat, […]

Jhoulys Chacin Debuts for Red Sox Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin will make his debut on the mound for his new team on Friday. Chacin will get the nod against the New York Yankees here. Chacin went 3-10 with a 5.79 ERA before being released by the Milwaukee Brewers. The Red Sox may go to the bullpen early in […]

Jorge Polanco is Back on Friday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (finger) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Polanco did not play on Thursday due to a minor finger issue. Polanco will bat second and play shortstop versus righty Adam Plutko. Polanco is hitting over .400 during the last week, so he's an excellent […]

Joe Musgrove Scratched on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (foot) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Musgrove is dealing with right foot discomfort, but hopefully it's a minor issue. Alex McRae will draw the start on Friday, but he's not worth streaming against the Cardinals.

Starling Marte Back on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Marte has missed the last two games due to minor discomfort. However, he's back in the lineup batting third and playing center field versus righty Miles Mikolas on Friday. Marte has been red-hot with the […]

LeSean McCoy Has RB2 Value in Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy could very well end up in a timeshare role with back Damien Williams. McCoy was added to the roster on Saturday and having Andy Reid back as his head coach is a good sign. The Chiefs wouldn't add McCoy unless they plan to get him involved in the […]

Damien Williams Could Lose Value

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams could see himself losing value quickly with the addition of LeSean McCoy. Williams is named as the starter for Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, there could very well be a timeshare between Williams and McCoy. Head coach Andy Reid is familiar with McCoy and […]

Patrick Mahomes An Excellent Option Versus Jags

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the best fantasy quarterback last season, but can he do it again? He'll have an interesting matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. The Jags defense was not reliable last season, but they have the pieces to make it strong once again. Luckily, the Chiefs offense looks […]

Kevin Newman Returns to the Lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins. He missed a few games due to a lingering leg issue, but appears to be fine now. Newman will bat leadoff and play shortstop versus righty Elieser Hernandez. He's a great DFS option for games on […]
