Giants Defense Not In Play For Week 2

The New York Giants Defense is not a strong unit for fantasy and managers should look elsewhere for a D/ST in Week 2. The Giants had just two sacks in Week 1 and only forced one turnover from a forced fumble. New York was gashed on the ground by Benny Snell Jr last week so […]

Evan Engram Still A Viable Starter In Fantasy

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was a massive letdown for fantasy managers on Monday night as he caught just two passes for nine yards vs Pittsburgh. He'll have an easier matchup in Week 2 vs the Bears and should still be considered a starting tight end for fantasy. Engram struggled in Week 1 […]

Daniel Jones Has A Better Matchup In Week 2

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled somewhat in Week 1 as he turned the ball over twice, but he also had some encouraging throws and will face an easier matchup in Week 2 at Chicago.

Steven Sims Jr. Should Be More Involved Vs Cardinals

Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr only saw three targets last week, but should be more involved in Week 2 vs Arizona.

Terry McLaurin Faces Tough Matchup In Week 2

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a tough matchup in Week 1 vs Darius Slay and will face another top-flight cornerback in Week 2 at Arizona. Cornerback Patrick Peterson allowed just one catch on three targets last week and will undoubtedly be tasked with covering the one, true receiving threat on the Washington […]

Antonio Gibson Looking to Bounce Back Versus Arizona

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson was overshadowed by Peyton Barber in Week 1, but the rookie should be in a better position to score fantasy points this week at Arizona. Gibson only handled nine carries last week, but most of that was due to the team having a lead in the fourth quarter […]

Peyton Barber A Risky Start Vs Cardinals

Washington Football Team running back Peyton Barber scored two touchdowns in Week 1, but remains a risky fantasy option ahead of a date with the Cardinals.

Dwayne Haskins A Low-End QB2 For Week 2

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin threw a seven-inning complete game shutout versus the Blue Jays in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

Bryce Harper Takes 0-for-5 To Continue Rough September

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 0-for-5 in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday dropping his September batting average to .175.

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura went 4-for-4 with two runs scored and a solo home run in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday.

Mike Fiers Tames Coors Field For Win

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Mike Fiers allowed one earned run in six innings pitched to earn a win at Colorado on Wednesday.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in a win versus the Mets on Tuesday.
