T.J. Yeldon Scores Pair Of Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon once again found himself thrust into a key role when Leonard Fournette exited Sunday's meeting with the Jets with hamstring issues. Yeldon responded by finding the end zone twice, once on the ground and once through the air, finishing with 52 rushing yards on 18 carries and 48 receiving […]

Blake Bortles Strong In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 388 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception on 29-for-38 passing in Sunday's victory over the New York Jets. He added 28 rushing yards. Despite the matchup looking tough on paper for Jacksonville, Bortles was accurate against a Jets defense that had looked good through three weeks. Fantasy owners […]

Keke Coutee Impressive In Debut

After missing the first three weeks of the season with a hamstring issue, Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee made his debut against the Colts on Sunday. Coutee was targeted 15 times, catching 11 passes for 109 yards while also losing two yards on two carries. Coutee will be a popular waiver wire add […]

Will Fuller Catches Touchdown, Leaves Game Early

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller left Sunday's game against the Colts with a flare up of the hamstring issue that had kept him out of the preseason and of Week 1, but not before he caught another touchdown from quarterback Deshaun Watson. Fuller ended the game with four catches for 49 yards and the […]

DeAndre Hopkins Dominant In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was a major force in Houston's overtime victory against the Indianapolis Colts, grabbing 10 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown. Sunday was a reminder of how dominant the Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins connection can be and a possible sign of things to come in an offense that […]

Lamar Miller With Another Forgettable Outing

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller had another mediocre game in Sunday's victory over the Colts, carrying the ball 14 times for 49 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. The more concerning issue for Miller was that teammate Alfred Blue saw 13 carries as the Texans inch closer towards a full running back […]

Deshaun Watson Has Strong Week 4

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 375 yards on 29-for-42 passing in Sunday's overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year passer threw for a pair of touchdowns and was picked off once. Watson also added in a rushing touchdown, gaining 41 rushing yards on six carries. Watson looked much more like the player […]

Chris Carson Inactive For Week 4

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) is inactive for Sunday's meeting with Arizona. With Carson being ruled out so close to game time, it appears likely he'll play in Week 5 against the Rams. For now, though, expect Rashaad Penny to see an increase in touches, making him a solid replacement for fantasy owners […]

Leonard Fournette Leaves Game With Hamstring Issue

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is questionable to return to Jacksonville's Week 4 game against the Jets with hamstring tightness. Fournette's hamstring kept him out for Week 2 and Week 3 and he looked to be healthy entering this week, but the issues continue. This hamstring could be an issue often this season for […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Expected To Start

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been tight-lipped about who would be the team's starting quarterback this week with Jameis Winston back from suspension, but Ryan Fitzpatrick -- coming off three consecutive 400-yard performances -- is warming up with the team's starting center and is expected to start against the Bears. It's a tough matchup for […]

Kalen Ballage Active For First Time

The Miami Dolphins have made rookie running back Kalen Ballage active for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots. While it's not clear what this means, with Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore failing to make a huge impression thus far, there could be room for Ballage as the […]

Brice Butler Active, Terrance Williams Inactive

The Dallas Cowboys are making wide receiver Brice Butler active for Sunday's meeting with the Lions and deactivating wide receiver Terrance Williams. While the move has no impact in most leagues, anyone in deep leagues who had been holding onto Williams in hopes he emerged from the muck that is the Dallas receiving corp can […]

Golden Tate Active For Week 4

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate (hip) will play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Against a Cowboys defense that has defended the pass well in 2018 and with two other strong receiving options in Detroit, Tate lacks his usual upside this week, but he's still a flex option in most formats.

Corey Clement Inactive In Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quad) won't play against the Titans in Week 4. With Clement and Darren Sproles both out and Jay Ajayi (back) likely limited, expect the Eagles to try to pass the ball against Tennessee this week and for running back Wendell Smallwood to see a handful of carries.

Randall Cobb Inactive For Week 4

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) will not play in Week 4 against Buffalo. This means an uptick in targets for wide receiver Geronimo Allison, who is now a strong flex option against an exploitable Bills defense. Cobb owners should monitor the situation throughout the week to see what Cobb's Week 5 availability […]

49ers Plan To Stick With CJ Beathard, Won't Trade For Quarterback

The San Francisco 49ers plan to stick with CJ Beathard as their starting quarterback and won't pursue a trade for a veteran starter, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Fantasy owners shouldn't have much interest in Beathard at this point, but the reports do mean that owners in two-quarterback leagues should be able to take a […]

Sam Bradford Inactive For Week 4

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will officially go from starter to third-string this week, with the Cardinals choosing to make Bradford an inactive against the Seahawks. With Mike Glennon now standing between Bradford and the starting job should current starter Josh Rosen end up missing time with an injury, Bradford can safely be dropped in […]

Leonard Fournette Expected to Play In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is expected to play in Week 4 against the New York Jets after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury. Fournette's workload for Sunday is unclear, but the Jets have been a decent team against the run this season, which makes starting Fournette a difficult decision to […]

Ronald Jones II Active For Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is active for the first time this season for Tampa's Week 4 meeting with Chicago. Jones II had been a healthy scratch for the team's first three games, but Peyton Barber hasn't played as well as the Buccaneers had hoped, opening the door for Jones. Don't expect […]

Alshon Jeffery Will Play Against Titans

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will play Sunday against the Titans barring any last minute issues from a virus that has kept him out of practice this week, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports. Jeffery has missed the first three games of the season while recovering from shoulder surgery; his return to the field will give […]

Kevin Durant Has Strong Night Against Minnesota

Golden State Warriors small forward Kevin Durant scored 16 points in just 19 minutes in his team's preseason opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. Durant was 6-for-9 from the field and also added in four rebounds and three assists. He's a top fantasy option this season who should be taken within the first five […]

Jordan Bell Looks Good In Preseason Opener

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Jordan Bell is expected to see a lot of playing time at the five until DeMarcus Cousins (Achilles) returns later in the season. In Saturday's preseason opener, the second-year player scored 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds. It was a nice outing for Bell -- who outperformed […]

Stephen Curry Shoots Well To Open Preseason

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry's shot is already in regular season form after just one preseason game. The two-time MVP scored 21 points in Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves, going 7-for-11 from the field and 5-for-9 from deep while also adding in four assists and a pair of rebounds. Curry remains the NBA's […]

Anthony Tolliver Attempts 10 Threes

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Anthony Tolliver was brought in to shoot threes and in the team's preseason opener, he did just that. Tolliver finished with 15 points, going 5-for-10 from deep and 5-for-14 overall while also grabbing five boards. Tolliver is one of the more interesting fantasy options on Minnesota's bench, as he should be […]

Keita Bates-Diop Struggles To Score In Preseason Debut

Minnesota Timberwolves rookie small forward Keita Bates-Diop grabbed six rebounds and was active on the floor in Minnesota's preseason opener Saturday night, but he finished with six points on a disappointing 1-for-9 shooting night. The encouraging sign is that Bates-Diop led the bench in minutes played and took five shots from deep; even if those […]

Derrick Rose Opens Preseason With Strong Play

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose is one of the candidates to jump into the starting lineup while the Timberwolves work out a trade to get rid of Jimmy Butler, but the former MVP has struggled over the past few seasons. On Saturday against the Warriors, Rose showed what he can still do in the […]

Andrew Wiggins Inefficient In Preseason Opener

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins finds himself thrust into the role of the second option this year with Jimmy Butler set on leaving Minnesota, but Saturday's preseason opener against the Warriors reminded everyone of why Wiggins is tough to trust as he scored 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting and grabbed four rebounds in 25 […]

Maximilian Kleber Huge Off Bench Against Beijing

Dallas Mavericks power forward Maximilian Kleber had an inconsistent role in the team's rotation last year and likely will again in a crowded front court, but he showed in Saturday's preseason opener what he's capable of, finishing with 15 points on 5-for-6 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds. Kleber also made all three of his attempts […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Looks Good In Preseason Opener

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. looked active and ready to build on a promising rookie campaign in the team's preseason opener on Saturday. Smith Jr. finished with 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting and added in six assists as well. He made one of his three attempts from behind the arc. With the addition […]

DeAndre Jordan Gets Involved As Passer Against Beijing

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan is already getting involved in the Mavericks offense in ways he wasn't with the Clippers, with the big man finishing with four assists in just 18 minutes in the team's preseason opener. Jordan also scored nine points on 3-for-6 shooting, grabbed eight rebounds, and blocked a pair of shots. Dallas […]
