Joe Flacco Hoping To Sign With NFL Team
Free agent quarterback Joe Flacco is still looking for an NFL contract and believes teams will be interested in signing him once the season begins. "I can still play," he told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. "When people are really pressed to win some games, if they have to call on somebody, then they'd be more […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoKadarius Toney Still Has Quarterback's Trust
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney struggled on Thursday night, catching just one of five targets for one yard. He also had three drops, including one that went into the hands of a Lions defender and resulted in a pick-six. Despite Toney's costly mistakes in the 21-20 loss, quarterback Patrick Mahomes emphasized that he […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is not listed as a starter on the team's official pre-Week 1 depth chart. Instead, Robert Woods will start opposite Nico Collins, with Dell presumably third in the pecking order. Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports that Dell will operate as the primary punt returner ahead of […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoDolphins Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 1
The Miami Dolphins' defense should be avoided in all fantasy leagues as they take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. Not only did Miami's already-mediocre unit lose some of its firepower following a meniscus injury to Jalen Ramsey, but the Chargers' offense is quite dominant with the likes of Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler, […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoJason Sanders A Fringe Fantasy Option In Week 1
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is a borderline top-12 fantasy kicker heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Sanders was solid at times last season, but never enough to solidify himself as a stable fantasy option week in and week out. Heading into the 2023 campaign, Sanders' upside gets a boost thanks to […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoDurham Smythe Not On Fantasy Radar
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe is not a viable fantasy option heading into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Smythe is listed first on the depth chart following Mike Gesicki's offseason departure, the 28-year-old needs to show a steady flow of production in the passing game before he can even be considered […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoJaylen Waddle Opens 2023 With Impressive Upside
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (oblique) is a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite being second on the depth chart behind Tyreek Hill, Waddle has shown time and time again that he can carve out his own role in the offense. Even while catching […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoTyreek Hill Opens Season As High-End WR1
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is a must-start option heading into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 29-year-old is coming off a huge season in which he tallied 1,710 yards and finished as the overall WR2 despite Tua Tagovailoa missing significant time due to head injuries. Likely lining up against Asante Samuel […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoDe'Von Achane Should Be Avoided In Week 1
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) should be left on the bench in most fantasy leagues as he gears up for his NFL debut versus the Los Angeles Chargers. While Achane has earned significant hype and is a glaring dynasty "buy," there's less optimism about his immediate value and production. Miami is expected to […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoRaheem Mostert Can Be Started In A Pinch
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is listed atop the depth chart heading into Week 1 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. However, given Miami's focus on passing the ball as well as the presence of up-and-coming rookie De'Von Achane, Mostert is certainly not a must-start in fantasy football. Rather, fantasy managers should only start him […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoTua Tagovailoa Has Top-12 Upside Thanks To Receivers, Matchup
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should be a top-12 fantasy option in Week 1. He's taking on a Los Angeles Chargers secondary that produced a 74.6 PFF grade last season and ranks 14th in the NFL (per PFF) heading into 2023. The unit isn't bad, but it's certainly not strong enough to consider sitting Tagovailoa […]

Landing "your guy" with a first-round pick in fantasy football is an exhilarating feeling. From the pre-pick anticipation to finally pulling the trigger on one of your favorite studs, this can be a dream come true. But perhaps even more exciting is finding a diamond in the rough in the form of a late-round sleeper. […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoWill Simpson Enjoying Success At The Plate
Oakland Athletics prospect Will Simpson is quite new to the organization, having recently joined the team as a 15th-round pick in the 2023 draft. The University of Washington product has impressive bat-to-ball skills and undeniable power, though there are concerns about his plate discipline and K/BB rate over a larger sample size. But what hurt […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoMitch Neunborn Delivers Five No-Hit Innings
Philadelphia Phillies minor league pitcher Mitch Neunborn, a native of Johannesburg, South Africa, signed with the organization a couple of weeks before his 26th birthday back in June. That signing represented the first MLB-affiliated deal for Neunborn, and while being 26 in High-A can be a deterrent in the bigger picture, the right-hander has certainly […]

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Junior Caminero was signed out of the Dominican Republic by the Guardians in 2019, then traded to the Rays in 2021. He has quickly blossomed into Tampa Bay's top prospect. His swing is a thing of beauty, generating plenty of speed at just the right angle so that he can […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoRobby Snelling Tosses Five No-Hit Frames
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Robby Snelling was the 39th overall pick in 2022, joining the organization on an above-slot deal after dominating the Nevada prep circuit. The 6-foot-3 southpaw has already touched 97 mph with his fastball, and given the fact that he's just 19 years old, he should gain additional velocity over the […]

Detroit Tigers third base prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy is one of the most well-rounded hitters in Minor League Baseball, showing advanced patience and discipline while still making quality contact and tapping into his power.

Andersen Pickard 1 year agoChris Jones Absent As Chiefs Prepare For Week 1
Kansas City Chiefs star defensive lineman Chris Jones (personal) did not report to practice on Sunday as his holdout persists, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Jones' continued absence is particularly noteworthy because, as Rapoport notes, with the Chiefs scheduled to play on Thursday night, missing practice today is equivalent to missing a Wednesday practice ahead […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker will occupy the No. 2 role behind Rachaad White in Week 1, according to JC Allen of Sports Illustrated. The undrafted rookie's rise to prominence has earned him the backup job over Chase Edmonds and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who will instead round out the bottom of the depth chart. […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoBen Skowronek Could Spend Most Of Season On Special Teams
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek will "likely play more on special teams this season than in the offense," according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic. Even with Cooper Kupp (hamstring) potentially missing Week 1, Skowronek isn't expected to have much involvement in the offense. Instead, Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell, and Puka Nacua will […]

Andersen Pickard 1 year agoJahmyr Gibbs Could Have Unique Role
Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs could be utilized in "some ways that people don't quite think we might," according to offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. While it's unclear exactly what this means, perhaps Detroit could look to get Gibbs more targets in the passing game, as well as more snaps in general. In redraft […]
Andersen Pickard 1 year agoDeon Jackson Expected To Start Week 1
Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson is expected to draw the start in Week 1, according to Aaron Wilson. There was speculation that rookie Evan Hull could also start, and while he should mix in, the lead role ultimately belongs to Jackson. Beyond that, Zack Moss (wrist) will start when healthy, perhaps as early as […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) could be held out of action Week 1. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "exercising caution for Week 1 is the likely outcome." The Rams could be hesitant to put him on the field if he's not 100 percent, especially since they need him healthy for the […]
