Jordan Thomas Returns To Practice

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas (hamstring) has returned to practice after sitting out the past week. Thomas is in line to be the lead tight end for the Texans this year after catching 20 passes for 215 yards and four touchdowns last year. While Thomas has been listed in places as a sleeper at […]

Five Very Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers

Sleepers sleepers sleepers sleepers. With fantasy football season in full swing, I know you're already tired of the word "sleeper," especially when people will basically use the word for any player. "Yes, dude in my fantasy league, please tell me more about your big sleeper pick for this year, Saquon Barkley." Clearly, there's a need […]

Theo Riddick Fractures Shoulder

Denver Broncos running back Theo Riddick has suffered a fractured shoulder and will miss 6-8 weeks of action. The Broncos had just signed Riddick to give them a better third-down back than Devontae Booker, but they'll now be without him for at least some regular season games. Riddick's fantasy value takes a hit with this […]

Deebo Samuel Has 61 Receiving Yards

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had two catches for 61 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also added a 14-yard carry. Samuel appears to be the favorite to start opposite Dante Pettis on the outside this year, and Saturday's game just moved that closer to being a reality. Samuel […]

Jalen Hurd Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd caught three passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. Hurd caught touchdowns from both C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens, and the rookie made a big impact at the right time, as the team announced Saturday that wide receiver Trent Taylor […]

Austin Walter Leads 49ers In Carries

The San Francisco 49ers played it safe with their whole running back until in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys, as all four of the players who are expected to make the final roster didn't play. If there is an opening, it's for the fourth-string spot that Jeffrey Wilson Jr. currently holds, but Saturday […]

C.J. Beathard Solid Against Cowboys

San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard went 13-for-17 in Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. He had 141 yards and threw a touchdown and an interception. Beathard was the 49ers' backup quarterback for the early parts of last year, but he opened training camp third on the depth chart and there were questions about […]

Michael Beasley Signs With Pistons

The Detroit Pistons have signed free agent forward Michael Beasley. Beasley will be suspended for the first five games of the year for violating the league's anti-drug policy, but will have a chance to earn minutes off the bench in Detroit. The biggest issue from a fantasy perspective is that Beasley will play behind Blake […]

Marqise Lee Unlikely To Be Ready For Opener

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) is unlikely to be ready for the start of the regular season according to head coach Doug Marrone. If Lee's unavailable to open the year, the battle between Chris Conley and D.J. Chark will become less important in the overall scheme of things, as both will be on […]

Jaguars Injured/Waive Roc Thomas

The Jacksonville Jaguars have put running back Roc Thomas on the waivers/injury list. Thomas, who had just joined the team last week, will be eligible to be placed on Jacksonville's injured reserve if he clears waivers. Thomas is suspended for the first three games of the regular season, so the Jaguars signing him in the […]

DeAndre Carter Returns To Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter has been taken off the PUP list and is practicing with the team. Carter's actual injury issue is still unclear, but his return to practice is good news for Houston. Carter should serve as the team's primary returner this year, and if Keke Coutee (ankle) misses regular season action, […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/10/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

A pair of WNBA games for you on Saturday, and the fact that the five highest-priced guards on DraftKings are in one game and four of the five highest-priced forwards are in the other should tell us a lot about the kinds of matchups we're getting. Expect a lot of points between Dallas and Phoenix, […]

Emmanuel Butler Doesn't Play In Preseason Opener

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Butler didn't play in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Butler was putting up impressive play after impressive play to start training camp, but missed almost a week after landing awkwardly in practice. The team held him out of the opener, but we'll likely see him on […]

Dan Arnold Opens Preseason With Touchdown

New Orleans Saints tight end Dan Arnold caught two passes for 27 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Arnold is competing with Josh Hill to be the team's second tight end, but Hill still appears to be the favorite for that role. Arnold's got some more preseason DFS potential […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Grabs Touchdown Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Lil'jordan Humphrey caught a 33-yard touchdown from quarterback Taysom Hill in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Humphrey showed off his strength on the play, absorbing contact after the catch and making his way into the end zone. He finished with two catches for 42 yards. Humphrey is […]

Devine Ozigbo Impressive On Limited Touches

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Devine Ozigbo only got four touches in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but he did good work with those touches, rushing for 20 yards and adding a nine-yard catch. Ozigbo's most likely outcome right now is to be New Orleans' fourth running back, but he's got the […]

Dwayne Washington Leads Saints In Carries

New Orleans Saints running back Dwayne Washington carried the ball eight times for 36 yards in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Washington and rookie Devine Ozigbo appear to be in a battle for the team's third running back role, and Washington out-touched Ozigbo eight to four in this one. It's the first preseason […]

Taysom Hill Continues To Show Versatility

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill played the second half of Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Hill was 8-for-14 throwing the ball for 80 yards and a touchdown. He also added 45 rushing yards on six carries. Hill can help this Saints team in a variety of ways this year, but he won't […]

Teddy Bridgewater Plays Well Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater played a strong first half in Friday's preseason loss to the Vikings, going 14-for-19 passing for 134 yards. He threw a touchdown to tight end Dan Arnold. Bridgewater remains the top backup in New Orleans, though he'll see the field less this year than third-string quarterback Taysom Hill, who […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/9/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

We have two games in the WNBA on Friday, with Connecticut visiting Minnesota and the Aces hosting the Sky. These aren't the most balanced games on paper, and they're relatively hard to project from a fantasy point-of-view than some other slates have been, but there are chances to find some major success. In this article, […]

Tyron Johnson Leads Texans In Receiving Yards

Houston Texans wide receiver Tyron Johnson caught two passes for a team-high 48 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Packers. Johnson has been a favorite for the team's final receiver spot, so Thursday's performance is a good sign for his chances of making the team. With Keke Coutee leaving Thursday's game with a leg […]

Josh Ferguson Finds End Zone

Houston Texans running back Josh Ferguson rushed for a touchdown in Thursday's preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers. But Ferguson only had two carries, finishing with two yards and failing to bring in his only target. Ferguson entered Thursday as the favorite to be Houston's third-down back, but the acquisition of Duke Johnson now […]

Damarea Crockett Has Touchdown Against Packers

Houston Texans running back Damarea Crockett rushed for 24 yards and a touchdown on six carries in Thursday's preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers. Crockett was the second running back in this one, but Houston was without starting rusher Lamar Miller and newly-acquired backup Duke Johnson. Crockett's ability near the goal-line should help him […]

Karan Higdon Leads Texans In Carries

Houston Texans running back Karan Higdon ran the ball a team-high eight times in Thursday's preseason loss to the Packers, finishing with 37 yards. Higdon wasn't targeted. Both Taiwan Jones and Damarea Crockett appear to be ahead of Higdon in the team's rotation, and while he put up solid numbers on Thursday, it doesn't seem […]

Taiwan Jones Starts First Preseason Game

Houston Texans running back Taiwan Jones started the team's first preseason game, rushing for 28 yards on seven carries and bringing in his only target for 11 yards. The battle to be the third running back in Houston is wide open, and Jones getting the first crack at the starting lineup isn't a huge surprise, […]

Joe Webb Plays Entire Game

With Deshaun Watson sitting out, A.J. McCarron injured, and Jordan Ta'amu just signed yesterday, Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb did something you rarely see in the preseason: he quarterbacked an entire game. Webb was 25-for-40 throwing the ball for 286 yards, a touchdown, and two picks. Ta'amu will likely play in the next one, but […]

Willie Snead Catches Preseason Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson in Thursday's preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was Snead's only catch of the game. Snead was the team's leading receiver in 2018, but his role looks a lot less defined heading into this season. He'll likely be the […]

Chris Moore Has 48 Yards Against Jaguars

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore caught a 30-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson on the Ravens' first drive of Thursday's preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He followed that up with an 18-yard reception from Jackson two drives later. Moore's 48 yards led the Ravens in this game, and his rapport with Jackson in […]

Miles Boykin Targeted Nine Times

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Miles Boykin was targeted nine times in Thursday's preseason win over the Jaguars, finishing with four catches for 39 yards. Boykin is expected to be a lock to make the team's final roster, so it'll be interesting to see if this level of usage keeps up as teams start to […]

Justice Hill Heavily Involved Against Jaguars

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Justice Hill saw plenty of action in Thursday's preseason win over the Jaguars, carrying the ball 10 times for 33 yards while catching two passes for 16 yards. The Ravens clearly wanted to see what Hill could do in this one, and while it wasn't the most impressive performance, it […]
