Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Travel With Team

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both are out for Week 4 against the Giants, but the duo traveled with the team to New Orleans and were on the field in pregame. ESPN's Jordan Raanan called it a "fairly promising sign." Both receivers could be back in Week 5, […]

Malik Turner To Make Season Debut

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Malik Turner (foot) opened the season on the Injured Reserve, but has been activated and is set to make his 2021 debut on Sunday. In putting him on the active gameday roster, the team has made wide receiver Simi Fehoko a healthy scratch. Turner will likely just play on special teams […]

D'Andre Swift Active For Week 4

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) will play Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Swift practiced all week -- albeit in a limited fashion -- so it's not a surprise to see him suit up. Swift has 289 yards and two touchdowns so far this season and has been a crucial part of a Lions […]

Andy Dalton Inactive For Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is inactive for the team's Week 4 contest against the Detroit Lions, with Justin Fields set to start and Nick Foles backing Fields up. Head coach Matt Nagy made a comment during the week that the starting role this week was a "game-time decision," though Nagy ended up making […]

Dalvin Cook Officially Active For Week 4

As expected, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) will return to the field on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Cook missed Week 3, but is averaging 96 rushing yards per game this season, plus has been targeted 10 times in the passing game. The Browns allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game in the […]

Lane Johnson Out For Personal Reasons

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is a surprise inactive due to a personal matter for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Chiefs. The veteran tackle's absence likely means Jack Driscoll will step into a bigger role on the Eagles offensive line. The Chiefs will be without some key defenders for this game, so Johnson […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Sparks 300 (10/2/21)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs head to Talladega. The Round of 12 continues with a potentially wild one at Talladega. This is a track known for pack racing and the crashes that accompany pack racing. It's also a race that is super tough to predict from a DFS perspective, as literally anyone could crash at […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Chevy Silverado 250 (10/2/21)

It's time for Talladega! One of NASCAR's most unpredictable tracks, it almost seems silly to try and suggest fantasy plays for a race that'll be complete chaos. Place differential becomes vital. Drivers starting near the front can kill your lineup in ways they usually don't. Oh, and it's the playoffs, which complicates this even more. […]

Tape Tells All: The New York Jets Are A Mess

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film for something that happened in the NFL this week. Usually, I like to keep things positive, but the New York Jets are a mess. The team hasn't scored a touchdown in two consecutive weeks. Now, that's not even close to being […]

DeSean Jackson (WR, LAR) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sure, this game came against a banged-up Buccaneers defense, but we can't ignore that DeSean Jackson did DeSean Jackson things. Not many players can post 120 yards on just three receptions like Jackson, and it was really interesting to see that he […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Another week of NFL action is behind us. The Bucs lost. The Chiefs lost. Mike Williams continued his breakout season. The Steelers were forced to throw the football to Chase Claypool 15 times. Sports! Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 4. Not all options […]

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was a slow start in Week 3 for the Cardinals, but the team eventually got it together and finished their third-straight game with at least 30 points scored. With Kyler throwing the football, there's going to be a lot of yards available […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR) OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Beasley was targeted 13 times in Week 3. It was the second time this season he had 13 targets, and he turned them into 11 catches for 98 yards. Josh Allen finally looked like Josh Allen this week, and the Bills' offense was unstoppable […]

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 […]

Darrell 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 […]

Dalvin 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 […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Ruled Out With Rib Injury

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 […]

Ke'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 […]

Josh 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 […]

A.J. Brown Ruled Out In Week 3

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 […]

Sterling 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, […]

James White Out For Rest Of Week 3

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 […]

Khalil 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 […]

Darrell 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 […]

Dalvin Cook Expected To Be Out In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) is expected to be out for the team's Week 3 meeting with the Seahawks, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports. 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 […]

A.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 […]

Josh 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 […]

Matt 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 […]

Frank 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 […]
