Jimmy Garoppolo Has High Ankle Sprain

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain in the Week 2 win over the Jets, and he didn't play at all in the second half. The injury will keep Garoppolo off the field for at least one game and probably more. He was 14-for-16 in the game with 131 yards […]

Byron Jones Facing Uphill Battle To Play Thursday

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that safety Byron Jones (groin) would "have to heal pretty quickly" in order to play on Thursday night against the Jaguars. At this point, Jones is a long shot to play in Week 3, which will leave Miami's secondary a bit more vulnerable against quarterback Gardner Minshew II […]

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard will test the free-agent market and is expected to move on from the Red Wings after spending his entire career with the franchise since being selected by the organization in the 2003 NHL entry draft. Howard posted a career-worst 4.20 goals against average and .882 save percentage through 27 […]

Kenny Golladay Expected Back In Week 3

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring), who has missed the first two weeks of the season, is expected to return in Week 3 against the Cardinals, according to a league source. Golladay was close to playing in Week 2, but the Lions didn't want to risk aggravating the injury. The 26-year-old led the league […]

Steven Stamkos Getting Closer To Return

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (lower body) is inching his way closer to returning to the lineup during the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals against the Dallas Stars, but the 30-year-old likely will not play in Game 2 on Monday night, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. Stamkos has been ruled unfit to play throughout […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/21/20): MLB DFS Lineups

It's the beginning of the end everyone, as we start the final week of the regular season with an 8-game Main slate on DraftKings, with lock coming a little early at 6:37 (EST). There's nothing scary on the weather front but the game in Atlanta could provide a sneakily supple hitting environment according to historical […]

Myles Gaskin (RB, MIA) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Forget about Jordan Howard. Forget about Matt Breida. Raise your hand to hail Miami Dolphins leading-back Myles Gaskin. Who would have thought... After getting the former two tailbacks this past offseason, Miami is running everything through second-year man Myles Gaskin this season. The […]

Jordan Akins (TE, HOU) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: They called a man crazy for recommending rostering Jordan Akins after his Week 1 performance. Now, they are calling him a visionary. Thank you, thank you, but I had this feeling I was going to be right. Sure, Akins W1 stats were the […]

Jordan Reed (TE, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When you have a stud at the tight end position such as San Francisco does (George Kittle), you don't really care about the rest of the personnel there. Unless your starting weapon goes down injured, which is exactly what happened this weekend. […]

Logan Thomas (TE, WAS) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After four years in the league providing little production, it looked like Logan Thomas had finally found his mojo to kick 2020 off. Thomas logged 52 snaps in Week 1, was targeted a nice eight times, and hauled in half of those […]

Mo Alie-Cox (TE, IND) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jack Doyle being the TE1 of a team featuring a bunch of more-than-capable rushers and a couple of good receivers at least, it makes sense to find Mo Alie-Cox available in virtually every league. Doyle, though, missed Week 2 injured, and that […]

Andy Isabella (WR, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At least at this point of the season, don't consider adding Isabella unless you can stash him or you happen to play in a super-deep league. It mostly comes down to his usage going forward and seeing how things develop between Arizona's offense […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Rodgers had a fantastic start to the season in Week 1 passing for a monster 364 yards and four touchdowns. Throwing 44 passes, it made sense to find all of Green Bay's wideouts getting at least four targets each and racking up […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You won't find Mooney-talk around often. While that is reasonable to a certain extent, it is to another. Let me explain. Mooney has only logged six targets through Week 2, but he's caught all of them for 74 combined yards and a touchdown. […]

Frank Gore (RB, NYJ) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: 37-year-old New York Jets running back Frank Gore was the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 2, rushing the ball 21 times for 63 yards. Rookie La'Mical Perine was the only other running back on the team to earn multiple carries as he rushed […]

Chris Thompson (RB, JAX) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson saw his role increase in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Thompson caught three of his four targets for 20 yards and a touchdown and also added two carries for seven yards in the game. James […]

Gardner Minshew II (QB, JAX) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I already wrote about Minshew last week, and here I am again introducing you to the Minshewmania once more, just in case you missed it the last time. See, I get the critics dropped on Minshew for his fourth-quarter interception that sealed the […]

Drew Sample (TE, CIN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the ultimate flier of waiver wire pickups. I wouldn't blame you if you hadn't heard Drew Sample's name prior to this week, but here we are. C.J. Uzomah's, the Bengals TE1, fell down to an Achilles injury in the fourth […]

Tee Higgins (WR, CIN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Higgins fell one pick short of becoming a first-round draftee this past draft, the Bengals spent the 33rd-overall selection on the Clemson product. You don't waste such a high pick on someone you don't trust, so what we saw on Week 1 […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, CLE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baker Mayfield barely made it to my weekly waiver wire posts, but his under-50% rostered rate was enough for me to consider writing about him. Mayfield is far from an unknown asset, that's right, but it doesn't make much sense to still find him […]

Christian McCaffrey Expected To Miss Time

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) is expected to miss multiple weeks after injuring himself during the matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The 24-year-old, who has never missed a game throughout his tenure in the league, has compiled four touchdowns so far this season, leaving a void that will be undoubtedly […]

Zach Pascal Catches Touchdown In Win

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal caught three balls for 19 yards and a touchdown in a win against the Vikings. Pascal has just seven targets over the first two weeks. The Colts are much higher on young receivers Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman Jr. Campbell was injured in Week 2, so this may open the […]

Mo Alie-Cox Goes For 111 Yards In Win

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox took advantage of his opportunity, grabbing five balls for a game-high 111 receiving yards in Week 2 against the Vikings. Alie-Cox was inserted in the starting lineup due to an injury to starting tight end Jack Doyle. This was just the fourth start of his three-year career, and it […]

Patrick Rodgers A Quality Option In Dominican

Patrick Rodgers has been solid throughout 2020, making the cut in 20 of his 27 starts with seven top-25 finishes. Rodgers heads to this week’s Corales Puntacana event on the heels of five consecutive made cuts. Despite his solid recent results, his game hasn’t been firing on all cylinders, as Rodgers has lost strokes on […]

Kyle Stanley Making Corales Puntacana Debut

Kyle Stanley is set to make his tournament debut in the Corales Puntacana Championship this week. Stanley is well known to DFS regulars as a tremendous ball striker and horrible putter. His statistics indicate that reputation is well deserved, as he finished last year ranked second on the PGA Tour in greens in regulation percentage, […]

Will Zalatoris Heads To Corales Riding High

Will Zalatoris is set to make his Corales Puntacana tournament debut this week. The youngster out of Wake Forest has been dominant on the Korn Ferry Tour this season, and leads the KFT in both the points standings and scoring average. He heads to the Dominican Republic fresh off an impressive T6 finish in last […]

Graeme McDowell Set To Defend Corales Title

Graeme McDowell is set to defend his Corales Puntacana title this week in the Dominican Republic. McDowell captured the victory last season with a score of 18-under par for the tournament. He led the field in strokes gained tee to green and was powered by back-to-back rounds of 64 on Friday and Saturday. The veteran […]

Bryson DeChambeau Wins U.S. Open In Dominant Fashion

Bryson DeChambeau's search for distance has been a focal point of discussion since the PGA Tour's restart. DeChambeau's power off the tee proved to be the difference at Winged Foot, as the 27-year-old dominated en route to victory at the U.S. Open. "The Mad Scientist" was the only player to finish under par both in […]
