DeVante Parker Holds Low-End WR3 Value

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (groin) remained limited during Thursday's practice, which isn't a great sign. However, Parker has already been playing at less than 100 percent, so he'll likely fight through the pain. Sadly, Parker could be in for a rough week in fantasy leagues. He's already banged up and will have to […]

Matt Breida A Shaky Option In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida was expected to have a significant role in the backfield this season, but that hasn't been the case. Breida has not seen more than nine carries in a single game this season. That is unlikely going to change with Myles Gaskin playing well for Miami. Maybe the change at […]

Myles Gaskin Remains PPR Flex Option

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has become the clear-cut lead back for this offense. He rushed the ball 18 times for 91 yards in the Week 6 victory over the New York Jets. Gaskin is used both in the passing attack and the running game, which makes him a favorable option in PPR leagues. […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Challenge Ahead

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was surprisingly named the starter for the Week 8 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. This is quite odd timing since the team is 3-3 and was playing well with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. Regardless, Tagovailoa was always the future of the team. It's tough to predict what kind of […]

Phillies Decline Option On Hector Neris, Other Relievers

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris had his $7 million club option for the 2021 season declined and will face arbitration for the second straight season. Philadelphia also declined club options on relievers David Robertson and David Phelps as it has become clear the team is set on trimming payroll after the pandemic-shortened season. Neris […]

Joe Mixon To Miss Another Game

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Titans. It will be Mixon's second straight missed game for his fantasy managers. Cincinnati is playing it safe with their leading rusher with their bye coming in Week 9. Backup Giovani Bernard should once […]

Miles Sanders Ruled Out Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) has been ruled out for the Sunday night game against the division-rival Cowboys in Week 8. Sanders will now miss his second straight game after going down with a knee injury in Week 6 against the Ravens. Make sure he's removed from all starting lineups this weekend. Backup […]

Marquez Callaway Won't Play Against Bears

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Marquez Callaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Callaway suffered an ankle injury in his Week 7 breakout with both Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders sidelined. The undrafted rookie caught eight passes for 75 yards in the win over the Panthers. Expect […]

Chris Thompson Activated From COVID-19 List

The Jacksonville Jaguars activated running back Chris Thompson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Thompson will be ready to return in Week 9 against the Texans following the team's bye this week. The 30-year-old has been an afterthought in Jacksonville's backfield behind James Robinson, rushing the ball just six times for 17 yards. However, he's […]

Lions Add Jonathan Williams To Active Roster

The Detroit Lions signed running back Jonathan Williams to their active roster on Friday off the Washington Football Team practice squad. The Lions already have rookie D'Andre Swift, Adrian Peterson, Kerryon Johnson, Jamal Agnew and Bo Scarbrough on their roster, so Williams will add to a crowded running back picture in Detroit. The former fifth-round […]

Corey Kluber's Option Declined By Rangers

The Texas Rangers declined to pick up starting pitcher Corey Kluber's $18 million option for the 2021 season on Friday, making him a free agent. They'll give him a $1 million buyout instead. However, the Rangers are willing to re-sign the veteran right-hander to a contract of lesser value, mostly likely a one-year, incentive-laden deal. […]

Brewers Decline Options On Jedd Gyorko, Eric Sogard, Ben Gamel

The Milwaukee Brewers declined the 2021 options on infielders Jedd Gyorko and Eric Sogard and outfielder Ben Gamel on Friday. Gyorko and Sogard both had $4.5 million options, while Gamel remains under team control after the team declined his $2.55 million option. Gyorko hit .248 with nine home runs and 17 RBI in 43 games […]

Mets Claim Nick Tropeano Off Waivers From Pirates

The New York Mets claimed right-handed reliever Nick Tropeano off of waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. In 2020, Tropeano posted a 1.15 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, and struck out 19 in 15 2/3 innings pitched for the Pirates. Despite the solid performance in 2020, albeit in a limited number of innings, Tropeano owns […]

Mark Ingram II Doubtful To Face Steelers

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the Steelers. Ingram hasn't practiced all week and needs to be removed from starting lineups this weekend. Most fantasy managers were already fading Ingram to their bench anyway, as the 30-year-old veteran hasn't gone over 60 yards rushing in […]

Jacob Barnes Claimed Off Waivers By Mets

Right-handed reliever Jacob Barnes was claimed off waivers by the New York Mets on Friday. In 2020, with the Los Angeles Angels, the 30-year old posted an unimpressive 5.50 ERA, and 1.28 WHIP in 18 innings pitched. Notably, however, Barnes throws in the mid-to-upper 90s and posted a 2.25 FIP with 24 strikeouts in 2020. […]

Mason Crosby Questionable For Week 8

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (back, calf) and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (chest) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Vikings. Crosby at least got in a limited practice on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up this Sunday in the divisional matchup. But he's in danger of missing the […]

Devonta Freeman Misses Practice Friday

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) missed his second straight practice on Friday. Freeman was injured in the Week 7 loss to the Giants and doesn't look likely to play on Monday night this week against the Buccaneers. Wayne Gallman took over the majority of backfield touches last Thursday after Freeman went down, […]

Julian Edelman, N'Keal Harry Out Against Buffalo

New England Patriots wide receivers Julian Edelman (knee) and N'Keal Harry (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the division-rival Bills. Edelman underwent a minor knee procedure this week and could miss multiple games. He's become a drop candidate in 12-team leagues due to his injury and declining production sans Tom Brady. […]

Michael Thomas Ruled Out Against Bears

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Thomas returned to practice on Thursday, but he'll miss yet another game after tweaking his hamstring last week. The first receiver off the board in fantasy drafts in the first round in most leagues, Thomas has […]

Allen Robinson II Listed As Doubtful

Updating a previous report, the Chicago Bears have updated their Week 8 injury report, moving wide receiver Allen Robinson II (concussion) from questionable to doubtful for Sunday against the Saints. Robinson hasn't practiced all week and is unlikely to play this weekend, so fantasy managers should remove him from their starting lineups right now. It […]

Andy Dalton Officially Doubtful Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton (concussion) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 8 on Sunday night against the Eagles. Dalton remains in the league's concussion protocol and is unlikely to return to practice on Saturday, paving the way for rookie Ben DiNucci to make his first career start in the divisional matchup. The Cowboys […]

Twins Negotiating With Nelson Cruz

The Minnesota Twins entered contract negotiations with designated hitter Nelson Cruz this week. Cruz is a free agent after hitting 57 home runs and slashing .308/.394/.626 over the last two seasons in Minnesota, but they are entertaining bringing him back for another season. The power hitter is now 40 years old, but he remains one […]

Allen Robinson II, Khalil Mack Questionable For Week 8

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (concussion) and linebacker Khalil Mack (ankle) are both questionable for Week 8 against the Saints. Robinson is on the wrong side of questionable since he hasn't practiced at all this week, so fantasy managers need to be making plans to be without him this Sunday. An A-Rob absence […]

Titans Defense To Be Short-Handed In Secondary

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel has ruled out rookie cornerback Kristian Fulton (knee) and safety Dane Cruikshank (groin) for Week 8 against the Bengals. The good news is that linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) returned to practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report. Tennessee's secondary might be a little bit […]

Vikings Defense Places Mike Hughes On Injured Reserve

The Minnesota Vikings placed cornerback Mike Hughes (neck) on Injured Reserve on Friday and signed safety Curtis Riley in a corresponding move. Hughes has missed two games this season and wasn't able to get healthy during the team's bye last week. The third-year cornerback had posted 13 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defensed in […]

Melvin Gordon III Has Upside If Phillip Lindsay Sits Out

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon could see the lion's share of the backfield work in Week 8 against his former team, the Chargers, if backfield mate Phillip Lindsay (concussion) misses another game. Because of the volume he'd see in a revenge game if Lindsay is inactive, Gordon would have RB2 upside. The first-year Bronco ran […]

Giants Defense Not Recommended Versus Bucs

The New York Giants Defense has not been a consistent unit for fantasy managers this season and faces another bad matchup in Week 8. Tampa Bay allows the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing defenses and even though the Buccaneers are banged-up, New York isn't a recommended start in fantasy. New York is in the bottom […]

Calvin Ridley Considered Day-To-Day

After undergoing an MRI exam on Friday, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) is considered day-to-day, according to a source. Ridley will have a chance to return for the Week 9 game against the Broncos after some extra rest, according to interim head coach Raheem Morris. The 25-year-old third-year receiver had his ankle rolled […]
