Jakobi Meyers (WR, NE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We finally got to see some of what made Meyers a solid fantasy option down the stretch last year: volume. He was targeted 14 times in Week 3 (including one red-zone target), catching nine passes for 94 yards. He's now up to […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoDarrell Henderson Jr. Inactive For Week 3
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Buccaneers. Henderson entered Sunday unlikely to play, so there's not much of a surprise here. Sony Michel will start, but the Buccaneers have one of the best run defenses in the NFL, so Michel is just a […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoDalvin Cook Officially Out For Week 3
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) is officially out for the team's Week 3 meeting with the Seahawks. Cook had been trending towards being out all week, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy managers. With Cook out, Alexander Mattison is a solid RB2 play and a great DFS value option. If […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) won't return to the team's Week 3 meeting with the Bengals. He finishes the game with three catches for 25 yards. Pittsburgh's offense has struggled in this game. Chase Claypool has five catches right now and should continue to see targets, with James Washington likely to play more […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoKe'Shawn Vaughn Active For First Time This Season
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn will make his 2021 debut on Sunday against the Rams, but is expected to mainly work on special teams. He might see some snaps on offense, but not enough to cut into the workload of Ronald Jones II or Leonard Fournette. Vaughn can be safely left on waiver […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoJosh Jacobs Out For Week 3
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Miami Dolphins. This will be the second week in a row that Jacobs has been absent. Last week, Peyton Barber led the Raiders in carries, but Kenyan Drake was on the field for over 70 percent of the […]

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown, who exited in the first quarter with a hamstring issue, has been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 3 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Brown ends the game with one run for three yards and zero receptions. If Brown misses extended time, expect to see more […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoSterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Ruled Out
New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) have been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 3 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Shepard had two catches for 16 yards while Slayton had one for eight yards. While Kenny Golladay will continue to serve as the team's lead receiver, […]

New England Patriots running back James White was carted off the field during Sunday's Week 3 contest against the New Orleans Saints and has been ruled out with a hip injury. He had one carry for six yards and didn't record a reception before exiting. New England's primary receiving back, an extended absence for White […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoKhalil Mack Questionable To Return
Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Mack has one sack this season but has posted four seasons with double-digit sacks. His absence will make things easier for quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Browns offense in this game if Mack is unable to […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoDarrell Henderson Jr. Expected To Be Out Sunday
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) won't play on Sunday against the Buccaneers, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports. Henderson entered Sunday unlikely to play, so not much of a surprise here. Sony Michel will start, but the Buccaneers have one of the best run defenses in the NFL, so Michel […]

Justin Carter 3 years agoA.J. Brown Questionable To Return In Week 3
Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is questionable to return to the team's Week 3 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Hamstrings are always a tough injury to play through, so keep a close eye on Brown's status. If Brown is unable to return, expect to see more of Chester Rogers, who already has a […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoJosh Reynolds Is Healthy Scratch In Week 3
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Josh Reynolds was expected to compete for the No. 3 job in Tennessee after joining the franchise this offseason, but after playing just 11 snaps last week in his Titans debut, he's a healthy scratch for Week 3 against the Colts. Chester Rogers played the third-most snaps at wideout for the […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoMatt Breida Inactive For Week 3
The Buffalo Bills have made running back Matt Breida inactive for Week 3 while Zach Moss, a healthy scratch in Week 1, will play for the second week in a row. Breida briefly appeared to be the team's No. 2 back against Pittsburgh, but had just four yards on four carries and wound up playing […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoFrank Clark, Charvarius Ward Inactive For Week 3
The Kansas City Chiefs defense will be without defensive back Charvarius Ward (quad) and defensive end Frank Clark (hamstring) for Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. The KC defense has struggled to stop opposing teams this season, so being without some key defenders is good news for the Chargers offense, especially quarterback […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoRhamondre Stevenson Is Healthy Scratch Again
New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch again in Week 3. After a strong preseason, Stevenson was a popular fantasy sleeper, but after losing a fumble in Week 1, it appears head coach Bill Belichick isn't ready to put Stevenson back on the field. Maybe he appears at some point […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoCarson Wentz Starting, Two Other Quarterbacks Active
While Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) is starting Sunday against the Titans, the team is dressing both Jacob Eason and Brett Hundley, an indication that the coaching staff wants to have two QBs on the bench in case Wentz winds up reinjuring himself or is otherwise unable to play at a high level. The […]

Justin Carter 3 years agoTee Higgins Inactive For Week 3
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It had looked all week like Higgins would be out, so fantasy managers hopefully won't be caught off guard by this news. Rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase will see an increased workload, as will veteran Tyler Boyd. Chase has […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoJoey Bosa Active For Chargers Defense
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot/ankle) didn't practice this week but will play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. One of the best pass rushers in the league, Bosa's presence is a boost to the Chargers defense, but probably not enough of a boost to put them on the fantasy radar against Patrick […]

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is out for the remainder of the team's Week 3 contest against the Houston Texans, per Erin Andrews on the game broadcast. McCaffrey finishes the game with seven carries for 31 yards and two catches for nine yards. Chuba Hubbard should serve as the lead back for the […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoJumping Ship on Bad Offenses?
Sometimes, a bad offense can sink a good player. It happens every year. In 2020, for instance, the Bengals scored the fourth-fewest points in the NFL. Tyler Boyd was targeted 10 times, but only finished with 841 yards and four touchdowns, dropping almost 10 yards per game over his 2019 numbers despite a catch rate […]

Justin Carter 3 years agoWide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3
NFL Week 2 was extremely chaotic, with injuries happening at a blistering pace. But wide receiver ended up being a fairly safe position this week, aside from multiple Texans wideouts getting hurt ahead of a a short week for the Texans. Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire […]
Justin Carter 3 years agoChristian McCaffrey Back In The Game
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) exited Sunday's game against the Saints, but the star rusher eventually returned to the field and managed to add a touchdown to his stat sheet. Considering McCaffrey re-entered this contest, we can safely assume he's good-to-go moving forward. He remains the overall RB1 in redraft and dynasty leagues.
