D.J. Chark Jr. Has Strong Upside In Week 3

2020 has been weird for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. The ball is being spread around in Jacksonville, which has left the assumed No. 1 receiver on the team playing a smaller role than expected. But so far, the fantasy results have been fine, as he caught a touchdown in Week 1 (though […]

James Robinson A Solid Play In Week 3

Fresh off his first 100-yard game, Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is set for another solid performance in Week 3, as the Jaguars take on the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. Robinson's lack of passing game usage limits his overall ceiling, though he did see a larger role as a receiver in Week 2. […]

Gardner Minshew II A Strong Fantasy Option On Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II has already thrown six touchdowns in 2020, and he should throw more of them on Thursday night against a beat-up Dolphins secondary. Minshew has been one of the biggest surprises of the young 2020 season, looking like a quality NFL starter and already threatening to take the Jags out […]

Tape Tells All: Keelan Cole's Week 2 Performance

Welcome to the second week of Tape Tells All, now with 100 percent more tape since the All-22 film is up! If you aren't familiar with this series, I take a guy who did some interesting things this past week, fire up All-22 film and a bunch of advanced stats, and then use those things […]

So Much for Regression: 2019 Breakouts Continued

Sometimes, players do things that seem unsustainable, and before the next season, the analysis community universally goes "yeah, they're regressing." But what happens when those players just... don't regress? Through two games, we're seeing some examples of players who are sustaining things we didn't think were sustainable. Let's look at some of those things.Be sure […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Whew, that was a rough day of football. It seemed like we just watched an endless parade of injuries all day. It wasn't quite as rough for wide receivers as it was for other positions. But while your No. 1 waiver claim this week might not end up being a wide receiver, that doesn't mean […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (9/22/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

So, we're still not sure if tonight's Lynx/Storm Game 1 is happening, as Sunday's game was postponed after multiple Storm players had inconclusive positive COVID tests. They've got to test negative two days in a row to be cleared to play, so we'll know more later today about whether or not it will go on. […]

Darren Fells Scores Touchdown In Week 2

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in a Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was targeted four times. Fells is still a lethal red zone target for the Texans, but with the emergence of Jordan Akins as a viable option, Fells is likely going […]

Jordan Akins Continues To See Increased Usage

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins continues to assert himself in 2020. Against the Ravens on Sunday, Akins caught a team-high seven passes for 55 yards. While Darren Fells still appears to be the end zone target at tight end for the Texans, Akins is seeing more usage all over the field. At a shallow […]

Randall Cobb Catches Five Passes

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb was more involved in Week 2 than he was in Houston's first game of 2020, catching five passes for 59 yards in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Cobb was expected to serve as an underneath option for quarterback Deshaun Watson this year, and on Sunday he looked like […]

Brandin Cooks Is Houston's Leading Week 2 Receiver

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks led the team with 95 receiving yards in Week 2's loss to the Baltimore. He was targeted a team-high eight times, bringing in five of those for receptions. Cooks played the role that Will Fuller V had played in Week 1. Houston's lack of a clear-cut No. 1 receiver […]

Will Fuller V Not Targeted Against Ravens

What happened? While he did have one carry for no yards, Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V was completely blanked on the receiving sheet in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. No catches. No yards. Not even a target, despite playing 63 percent of the team's snaps. Fuller did leave the game shortly to […]

David Johnson Quiet Against Baltimore

Houston Texans running back David Johnson could never find his sledding on Sunday in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Johnson carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards and added two catches for 16 yards. With Duke Johnson (leg) out, David Johnson was the only running back to get a touch in this contest. […]

Deshaun Watson Held In Check By Ravens

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson did managed to throw for 275 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2, but with just one touchdown and an interception, Watson didn't have the strong day that fantasy managers expect from Watson. His 17 rushing yards on five carries were also a disappointment. Watson's opened 2020 with a […]

Tyler Eifert Finds End Zone Against Tennessee

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert was targeted six times in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He brought in three of them for 36 yards and a touchdown. At a shallow fantasy position, Eifert's usage in this one is interesting, though the fact that he was targeted just once back in Week 1 is […]

Keelan Cole Catches Touchdown Against Titans

For the second week in a row, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught a touchdown from quarterback Gardner Minshew II. Cole was an afterthought last year, but has emerged as a key weapon for Minshew in 2020. He was targeted seven times, catching six passes for 58 yards and the score. Cole's becoming a […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Has Solid Week 2

The targets weren't quite there, but Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. managed to bring all four of the ones he got in for receptions, finishing with 84 yards in his team's Week 2 loss to the Titans. Chark's not getting the ball as much as expected in an offense that's been spreading it […]

Chris Thompson Scores Week 2 Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson scored his first touchdown of the 2020 season on Sunday, finishing with three catches for 20 yards and a score. He also added two rushes for seven yards. Of course, Thompson only getting five touches in this loss to the Titans is worrisome, especially with a game script that […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Receives Five Carries

Yes, you read the headline right. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. had been teased as the kind of player who'd be involved all over the field for the Jags. We saw that in action in the team's Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans, as Shenault was used in the backfield, getting five […]

James Robinson Has Huge Game Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson cemented his role as the team's No. 1 back in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. He added three catches for 18 yards as well. While Chris Thompson will continue to see passing down work and wide receiver Laviska […]

Gardner Minshew II Throws Three Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II threw for 339 yards on 30-for-45 passing in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He was picked off twice and added four carries for 19 yards. Jacksonville's offense is officially better than expected, making Minshew a solid QB2 option moving forward. Jacksonville's defense is going to continue to hemorrhage […]

Rams Should Use Darrell Henderson Jr. More

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the Los Angeles Rams will move towards more of a running back committee approach in Week 2 against the Eagles, with Darrell Henderson Jr. playing more than he did in Week 1. Garafolo expects the team to use Henderson, Cam Akers, and Malcolm Brown "roughly equally" in this week's […]

Titans Defense Won't Have Vic Beasley

The Tennessee Titans Defense won't have linebacker Vic Beasley (knee) in Week 2 against the Jacksonville. Beasley had been practicing, so it's likely this is just a precaution in what should be a relatively easy matchup for the Titans. Against a better team, Beasley's absence could be an issue for the Titans, but this shouldn't […]

Colts Defense Without Rock Ya-Sin In Week 2

The Indianapolis Colts Defense won't have defensive back Rock Ya-Sin for their Week 2 contest against the Vikings after he was ruled out at the last second with an illness. It doesn't appear that the illness is related to COVID-19. Ya-Sin was a key contributor in Week 1 for the Colts, playing 92 percent of […]

Brandon Aiyuk Set For NFL Debut

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) is set to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the New York Jets. Aiyuk will debut in a game where the Niners are missing their top two receiving threats, wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) and tight end George Kittle (knee). Aiyuk should get some immediate snaps […]

Dede Westbrook Is Healthy Scratch Again

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a healthy inactive in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. This is the second week in a row that Westbrook won't play. It's clear that last week's absence wasn't a fluke, and it's now safe for fantasy managers to drop Dede Westbrook in all redraft leagues. Maybe you […]

La'Mical Perine Set To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) didn't play in Week 1, but is set to make his NFL debut against the 49ers on Sunday. With Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on the injured reserve, Perine could play a small role right away as the passing-down option when veteran Frank Gore rests. In season-long leagues, Perine […]

Golden Tate Officially Active For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is officially active in Week 2, with the Giants taking on the Chicago Bears. This probably isn't the week for fantasy managers to play Tate, as he'll likely be a little limited as he works his way back. But if you need a deep league dart throw, […]

Ted Ginn Jr., Riley Ridley Healthy Week 2 Scratches

Chicago Bears wide receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Riley Ridley are healthy scratches in Week 2. The big news here is Ginn, as he played 43 percent of the team's Week 1 snaps. Ginn wasn't a factor in that game and Bears should turn to Anthony Miller more in this one, whose snap rate should […]

Dallas Won't Have Tyron Smith In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is officially inactive for the team's Week 2 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith's been an elite lineman for the Cowboys, helping to keep quarterback Dak Prescott upright and opening holes in the run game for Ezekiel Elliott. You're still starting both of those guys in season-long leagues […]
