Falcons Defense Loses John Cominsky To Reserve/COVID-19 List

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle/end John Cominsky (undisclosed) was placed on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, making him the second Falcon to hit the list this week. Despite his designation, Cominsky does not necessarily have to have tested positive for the virus, and there is currently no reason to believe that the Falcons/Vikings contest scheduled for […]

Michael Thomas Claims He’ll Return To Field Week 7

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been vocal about his desire to return to the field ever since departing from a Week 1 outing due to a high ankle sprain. During teammate Cameron Jordan’s interview with ESPN on Friday, Thomas was heard saying that he would return to action next Sunday when […]

Cowboys All-In On Andy Dalton As Starting QB At This Stage

The signing of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton was hailed as a savvy maneuver during the off-season as a means of getting Dak Prescott a veteran backup. Fast-forward to Week 6, and Dalton is the only QB on the active roster to start an NFL game. With the announcement Saturday that the Lions had signed […]

Jamaal Williams Dips In Fantasy Intrigue During Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has been utilized as Aaron Jones’ primary backup this season, which already caps his fantasy intrigue, but facing off against a stout Buccaneers Defense Sunday that is yielding just 58.4 yards per game on the ground puts him in an untenable spot. Williams saw a season-high 57 percent […]

Royce Freeman Should Benefit From Melvin Gordon III’s Absence

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman has reprised a minor role in the team’s offense this season despite having combined for over 1,000 yards rushing over the past two years. Melvin Gordon III (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against New England, and while Phillip Lindsay is expected to the Broncos’ bell cow […]

Mecole Hardman Could Be In Line For Increased Role Monday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman could become the No. 3 target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes during what is projected to be an offensive eruption Monday versus Buffalo. With Sammy Watkins (hamstring) having been ruled out, Hardman is likely first in line to see an increase in targets. When Hardman has been targeted this […]

N'Keal Harry Holds WR3/FLEX Relevance Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry will have quarterback Cam Newton back under center Sunday versus Denver, boosting him up toward WR3/Flex appeal in medium-sized or larger season-long formats. Harry has been a favorite target of Newton, having averaged seven targets per contest this year, while compiling 18 receptions for 166 yards and one […]

Jack Doyle Returns To Fantasy Relevance For Week 6

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle was a Pro Bowl selection last season, but has thus far struggled to carve out a role in the Philip Rivers-led offense in 2020. With Mo Alie-Cox (knee) out of the mix versus the Bengals on Sunday, Doyle should see considerable intrigue for DFS upside, while also presenting potential […]

Jaguars Put 12 Practice Squad Players On Reserve/COVID-19 List

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Saturday that they have placed 12 of their practice squad players on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday’s contest against Detroit. At this point, there’s no reason to believe that the game between the Lions and Jaguars is in jeopardy, as Jacksonville is reportedly making the move as a precaution. […]

J.K. Dobbins Not A Season-Long Starting Option At This Stage

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins entered the season as a borderline Top 100 fantasy selection due to his multifaceted abilities out of the backfield. Even with veteran Mark Ingram II holding down primary running back duties, Gus Edwards has now emerged as Ingram’s primary backup, leaving Dobbins somewhat out in the cold. He played […]

Jordan Akins Will Miss Sunday’s Game

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle/concussion) will not suit up Sunday against Tennessee, as he was not a part of the team’s traveling party. Akins will now be sidelined for the second consecutive week, paving the way for Darren Fells to remain the team’s primary tight end. Fells is a low-end TE streamer option […]

Colts Defense Adds Sheldon Day For Sunday’s Contest

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Sheldon Day has been added to the team’s active roster ahead of Sunday’s game versus Cincinnati, adding another key defensive piece to a unit that has been the highest-scoring defense in traditional ESPN formats this year. Day, who is set to make his Colts debut Sunday, was hampered by a knee […]

Sony Michel, Two Other Patriots Land On Reserve/COVID-19 List

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (undisclosed), offensive lineman Shaq Mason, and defensive end Derek Rivers have all been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday’s game versus Denver. Placement on the list does not necessarily mean that players had to test positive for the virus, with it also being utilized for those […]

Cowboys Defense May Get Leighton Vander Esch Back Monday

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) is trending in the right direction of playing Monday against Arizona, per head coach Mike McCarthy. Vander Esch sustained a broken collarbone during Week 1 and has been sidelined since. Even if the Cowboys eventually get the former Pro Bowl linebacker back in the mix, the combination of […]

Denver Releases Blake Bortles; Indication Drew Lock Should Play

The tenure for veteran quarterback Blake Bortles with the Denver Broncos was short-lived, as he was released Saturday before appearing in a game with the team. The decision to move on from Bortles ahead of Sunday’s game versus New England is an extremely strong indicator that Drew Lock (shoulder), who is still tagged as questionable […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Runs On Turf Saturday During Rehab

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) is on the rehab trail after undergoing surgery to help alleviate compartment leg syndrome, and he tweeted Saturday that he was able to run on turf, which is surely a step in the right direction as it pertains to his return. Ineligible to return until at least […]

Green Bay Activates Equanimeous St. Brown For Sunday’s Game

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) has been added to the team’s active roster for Sunday’s game versus Tampa Bay. St. Brown has been sidelined this season due to a knee injury, not having appeared in a regular-season contest since 2018. His return further bolsters a Packers wide receiving corps that will […]

Noah Fant Deemed Out For Sunday’s Game

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s contest versus the Patriots. Despite having been a limited practice participant throughout the week, Denver will ultimately opt to hold Fant out, further limiting the team’s offensive options with Melvin Gordon III (illness) also sidelined. Jake Butt and Nick Vannett figure […]

Sammy Watkins Ruled Out For Monday’s Contest

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) has been officially deemed out for Monday’s game versus Buffalo. The hamstring injury that Watkins sustained last week may keep him on the shelf for an extended period, but the team was at least considering the idea that he could return as soon as Monday. Without Watkins […]

Buffalo Expects To Have Zack Moss Back Monday

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss (toe) is expected back in the running back equation for Monday’s contest versus Kansas City. Moss has missed each of the team’s previous three outings due to a toe injury, but he now figures to slot in as the primary backup to Devin Singletary. While Moss has carved out […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/15/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Rams Defense Loses Jordan Fuller; In Strong Spot Versus 49ers

The Los Angeles Rams placed safety Jordan Fuller (shoulder, neck) on Injured Reserve Tuesday, meaning that they’ll be without the rookie for at least the next three weeks. Despite his loss, the Rams Defense is in an excellent position during Week 6 versus San Francisco, who saw quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) look less than 100 percent last […]

Davante Adams Likely To Return Sunday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) suited up for practice Monday, a step in the right direction that he’ll be cleared in time to play Sunday against Tampa Bay. Adams had reportedly wanted to play last Monday versus Atlanta, but was held back ahead of the team’s bye week as a means of […]

Ravens Defense Remains Cream Of Crop In Week 6

The Baltimore Ravens Defense may not have the same notable names as years past, but the group has been tremendous in 2020 and is in line to continue that success Sunday versus Philadelphia. Ranking as the second-highest scoring defense in ESPN’s traditional scoring, Baltimore has compiled 16 sacks, seven fumble recoveries and three interceptions through […]

Alexander Mattison In Line For Substantial Workload Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is slated to take over starting running back duties for Sunday’s game versus Atlanta due to the adductor injury to Dalvin Cook (groin). DFS sites have already adjusted Mattison’s price tag, so unfortunately fantasy managers will have to pony up a pretty penny, but season-long managers can attempt to snag […]

Kenny Golladay Begins Favorable Stretch Sunday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has shown a quick acclimation process back into the mix, having recorded receiving touchdowns in each of his first two games this year. Coming off the team’s bye week, Golladay will get back-to-back extremely favorable matchups against Jacksonville and Atlanta, both of whom are in the bottom five around […]

Aaron Jones Faces Stout Buccaneers Rush Defense Sunday

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will have to overcome the league’s top rush defense if he is to continue his excellent start to 2020 on Sunday. The Buccaneers Defense has limited the opposition to just 58.4 yards per game on the ground; Jones has rushed for more than that in each of his […]

Patriots Return To Facility Wednesday, Eye Thursday Practice

The New England Patriots are slated to make their return to the field Sunday against Denver, but the first step in that process is getting back to the team’s facility, which is expected to happen Wednesday. But despite their presence there, New England isn’t slated to practice, with that first time back out penciled in […]

Cardinals Defense Adds Prince Amukamara To Secondary

The Arizona Cardinals have added veteran cornerback Prince Amukamara to the fold after having brought the Glendale, Ariz., native in for a visit last week. Amukamara was released just before the start of the 2020 regular season by Las Vegas, having served as a full-time starter since 2012 with the Giants, Jaguars, and Bears. It’s […]
