NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Ag-Pro 300 (10/3/20)

The second race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series Round of 12 is here. Chase Briscoe has clinched a spot in the next round via win and now it's time to see if another driver can lock his way in. Of course, since we're at Talladega, literally anything can happen on Saturday, from a non-playoff driver […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Chevrolet Silverado 250 (10/3/20)

It's time for what might be the most chaotic race weekend of the NASCAR season, as all three series have playoff races at Talladega Superspeedway. Anything can happen here. Surprise winners. Huge wrecks that take out drivers who are on the bubble for the next playoff round. Things can get wild. This is also a […]

Randall Cobb Has Deep League PPR Appeal In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb is coming off his best game as a Texan, catching four passes for 95 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. Now, he gets a plus matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The way that Houston spreads the football around gives Cobb a low ceiling, but his […]

Allen Lazard Out Indefinitely

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard underwent core muscle surgery and is out indefinitely, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. Lazard showed up on the injury report on Thursday with the core injury, but no one was expecting this news. Luckily for the Packers, Davante Adams (hamstring) should return this week, but Lazard's absence is a […]

Brandin Cooks Is In Good Position In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been targeted at least five times in each game in 2020. And while his performances have been uneven so far, Cooks is in a good spot in Week 4 against a susceptible Vikings Defense. Cooks's position could be improved even more if Will Fuller V (hamstring) is out, […]

David Johnson Has Good Week 4 Matchup

When the Houston Texans face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they'll face a team that's allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Considering their first three opponents allowed the 17th, 29th, and 31st-most points to the position, this is a huge plus for Texans running back David Johnson. While the return of Duke […]

Deshaun Watson Poised For Strong Week 4

It's fine to be disappointed with how Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has played in 2020, but a tough early schedule and the fact that Houston lacks a true No. 1 receiver meant there was always a chance Watson struggled. Watson is currently the QB17 in fantasy, but expect that number to shoot up after […]

Keelan Cole Has Deep PPR Appeal In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole has received solid usage all season and has found the end zone twice, but he's also failed to record a game with more than 58 receiving yards. His target share makes him a solid deep-league PPR option with upside each week, but with a Week 4 matchup against the […]

Phillip Lindsay Officially Inactive Thursday Night

As expected, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) will officially miss the Week 4 meeting with the New York Jets. Melvin Gordon III will serve as the team's primary running back in this one and is a solid RB2 option. Meanwhile, expect a sprinkling of Royce Freeman, but with just six carries all year, […]

Jamison Crowder Active For Week 4

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is active for Thursday night's contest against the Denver Broncos. It remains to be seen how much Crowder actually plays in this game and he's a fairly risky option in season-long leagues, but he is an intriguing play in DFS. Braxton Berrios's Week 4 value takes a […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Faces Tough Week 4 Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is a risky play in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. While Chark -- who missed Week 3 with chest and back issues -- appears on track to play, the Bengals Defense has been solid against the pass this year, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide […]

Will Fuller V Limited In Practice On Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V (hamstring) was a surprise entrant to the injury report on Thursday. Fuller has a history of missing games with hamstring issues, so this should be a worrisome sign for his availability against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. A healthy Fuller has game-breaking speed, but even he's not at […]

James Robinson Has Plus Matchup In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson has three touchdown runs in the past two games and has seen a marked increase in his passing-game usage over the course of the early season, catching six passes against Miami. He gets a solid Week 4 matchup against the Bengals, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to […]

Bengals Could Be Bad Matchup For Gardner Minshew II

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II is coming off a disappointing Week 3 performance in which he failed to throw for a touchdown despite completing 71.43 percent of his passes. Now, Minshew will look to bounce back against the Bengals on Sunday. The problem? Cincinnati is only allowing 16.5 fantasy points per game to opposing […]

Steelers-Titans Will Not Be Played In Week 4

After more positive COVID-19 tests on Thursday from the Tennessee Titans, their Week 4 contest between the Pittsburgh Steelers is being moved to later in the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We don't know when the game will be played now, but we do know that fantasy managers need to make sure Titans and […]

Tape Tells All: Justin Jefferson's Week 3 Performance

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, your home for film and stat breakdowns of a rising fantasy player's performance from the previous week. In today's addition, we'll be looking at Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson. The rookie exploded in Week 3, catching seven passes for 175 yards and a touchdown. Is he the new […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Week 3 is in the books. It was a week of close, exciting games, and also the week that the Bengals and Eagles played to a tie, with both teams giving up at the very end to avoid losing. That was a very bad overtime. Anyway, wide receivers! That's why you're here! Read on to […]

Justin Herbert (QB, LAC) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert was pressed into action in Week 2 after starter Tyrod Taylor suffered a punctured lung in pregame, and Herbert looked fine, going 22-for-33 for 311 yards, a touchdown, an interception, and a rushing score. In Week 3, […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, JAC) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The search for a tight end streamer might be the most frustrating search in fantasy football. The depth at the position remains as inconsistent as ever, and if your starter has gone down with injury (hi, Kittle managers!) then you're in for a […]

Braxton Berrios (WR, NYJ) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  So, the Jets. It's a mess in the Meadowlands this year, as the injuries are piling up and head coach Adam Gase is the most likely NFL coach to be fired before this week is over. Among those injuries are a whole […]

Mo Alie-Cox (TE, IND) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jack Doyle back from injury, it was reasonable to expect tight end Mo Alie-Cox to take a backseat on Sunday against the Jets. And he did, getting targeted just three times. But Alie-Cox caught all three of them, finishing with 50 […]

Nick Boyle Catches Touchdown In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens tight end Nick Boyle caught the team's only offensive touchdown in the team's Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, with a five-yard grab on his only target of the game. Boyle has just four receptions through three games and while the touchdown was nice for anyone using him as a punt […]

Devin Duvernay Has Kick-Return Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Devin Duvernay showed off his speed on Monday night, taking a kickoff 93 yards to the house for the first kick-return touchdown of the 2020 NFL season. He was less effective as a receiver, catching two passes for seven yards. Duvernay is an intriguing young player who should see his […]

Marquise Brown Disappears Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown was incredibly quiet in Monday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching two of his six targets and finishing with 13 yards. With Baltimore finishing with under 100 passing yards, Brown's numbers still put him third on the team in receiving yards, if you're looking for a positive to […]

Mark Andrews Struggles Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews led the team in targets on Monday against the Chiefs. Unfortunately, he couldn't bring most of them in, finishing with three receptions for 22 yards. Andrews had trouble with his hands all night. Usually a reliable tight end, we can probably chalk this one up to the struggles of […]

J.K. Dobbins Is Ravens Leading Receiver In Week 3

On a night where the passing game never materialized, it was Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins who led the team in targets and yards, catching four passes for 38 yards. He added six rushing yards on one carry. The takeaways from this one are a bit of a mixed bag for fantasy managers. You […]

Mark Ingram II Quiet Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II couldn't find any room in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, rushing seven times for 30 yards and failing to bring in his only target. Not a great showing from the veteran back, but he did have seven of the 12 carries for running backs on the night […]

Gus Edwards Sees Drop In Usage

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards was the team's leading running back in terms of yards on Monday night, but that's not saying much. Edwards saw just four carries in this one, finishing with 39 yards, though much of that came on one play. Edwards is a talented back, but his workload is too inconsistent […]

Lamar Jackson Struggles Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't look like the defending NFL MVP in Monday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson was held to just 97 passing yards, going 15-for-28 and throwing one touchdown. Jackson did lead the team in rushing yards with 83 of them on nine carries, salvaging his day for fantasy managers, […]
