Week 8 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

With the halfway point of the season nearly here, hopefully your fantasy football squad isn't "seeing ghosts" like Sam Darnold and is actually in the hunt for a playoff spot. Four more teams will be on bye in Week 9 and a season-high six teams will have the week off in Week 10, so the […]

Week 8 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 7 in DFS proved to be the week of the quarterback plays. And we're not just talking top names either. Sure, Aaron Rodgers exploded for a HUGE day (429 yards and 6 total TDs), but it was the players behind him that helped owners cash in. Matthew Stafford, Jacoby Brissett, and Ryan Fitzpatrick all […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Expected To Play

When the Oakland Raiders face the Houston Texans on Sunday, the Raiders are expected to have running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) ready to go and to have wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) return to the field. Jacobs remains a must start option, but Williams is the interesting one here. If he has a full workload […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 10/27/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

However, as we approach the midpoint of the season, some teams have just […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets and Avoids

Disaster averted. The Bills found themselves trailing against the lowly Dolphins but pulled it out late. Had Buffalo lost, more than 50 percent of remaining entrants in survivor pools would have been knocked out. The 49ers did their part in the monsoon in D.C while the Patriots cruised against the Jets. All my picks to […]

Josh Jacobs Expected To Play Sunday

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden expects rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) to play in Week 8 against the Texans. Jacobs will be listed as questionable on the final injury report, but he's expected to give it a go against Houston on the road. The rookie has been exceptional this year and has seen […]

Tyrell Williams Expected To Return In Week 8

Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) "looked good yesterday and followed it up with another good day today. So, we're excited to get him back." It sounds like the Raiders expect Williams to return this Sunday against the Texans for the first time since Week 4. The first-year […]

Zay Jones Expected To Play In Week 8

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is expected to make his team debut in Week 8 against the Texans. Tyrell Williams (foot) has a chance to return this week as well from his two-game absence. It's unclear how much Jones will actually play if he's active, but if both he and Williams are active, it's […]

Mid-Season Awards: MVP's and LVP's

When it comes to awards, everything is subjective. Some people just go with the best player at each position. That is fine in real football but not in fantasy football. Christian McCaffrey has had the best season as a running back, but as the first or second pick in drafts, he needed to do so […]

Josh Jacobs Could Play Without Practicing

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) said he feels like he could play in Week 8 against the Texans even if he doesn't practice at all this week. Players don't usually get to make these decisions, but Jacobs should be questionable and has a chance to suit up as the team's lead back. […]

Jalen Richard Added To Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard (ankle) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Texans and was limited in practice on Thursday. This is worth watching with rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) questionable for this weekend. If Jacobs were to sit out, Richard and Deandre Washington would form a split in […]

Josh Jacobs Not Seen At Practice

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Head coach Jon Gruden said on Wednesday that Jacobs would be questionable for Week 8 against the Texans. That's worrisome since the Raiders play a late afternoon game this weekend. Fantasy owners would be more relieved […]

Oakland Raiders tight end Foster Moreau could wind up paying dividends in this week's matchup versus the Houston Texans. This game currently has the highest over/under total of all Week 8 matchups at 51.5 points, and at a cheap $2,700 price on DraftKings, Moreau makes an intriguing dart-throw play in GPP contests. The 22-year-old has […]

Darren Waller A Firm TE1 In Tasty Matchup

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller has a salivating matchup this week when the team travels to Houston to take on the Texans. He'll face a shaky defense who has given up 10 touchdowns through the air in their last three games, and a league-high 1,929 passing yards this season. Waller finally found the end […]

Derek Carr On The Week 8 Streaming Radar

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will face the Houston Texans in Week 8, giving him some streaming appeal for managers looking to replace bye-week QBs Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott.

Josh Jacobs Questionable For Week 8

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 8 against the Texans, according to head coach Jon Gruden. The good news for the Raiders is that receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday and could play this Sunday. Jacobs is averaging 5.1 yards per carry this year and […]

Tyrell Williams Returns To Practice

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) got in a limited practice on Wednesday after missing the team's last two games. Williams has scored a touchdown in all four games he's played in this year, but he'll be a pretty shaky WR3 if he plays this Sunday against the Texans. The Houston secondary is beat […]
