Karl-Anthony Towns Delivers Enormous Double-Double In Opener

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns entered the 2019-20 season as one of the most heralded fantasy assets in the sport for good reason -- when given the opportunity, he produces across multiple categories in bunches.

Bojan Bogdanovic's Return In Doubt Wednesday

The debut of Utah Jazz small forward Bojan Bogdanovic with his new club was off to a strong start Wednesday as the sixth-year veteran collected seven points in his first nine minutes.

Jimmy Butler To Miss Wednesday’s Season Opener

The Jimmy Butler Era in Miami will have to wait to begin following the news that Butler will sit for Wednesday’s contest against the Memphis Grizzlies due to personal reasons.

Leonard Fournette In Prime Position For Stellar Performance

No team in football has yielded more rushing yards per contest than the Cincinnati Bengals during 2019, who have allowed the opposition to storm down the field for over 184 yards per contest. What does all that mean? Leonard Fournette, the Jaguars’ unquestioned No. 1 option on the offensive side of the ball should be […]

D.J. Chark Faces Stingy Matchup, Eyes Continued Breakout Year

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver D.J. Chark might wind up being the unlikeliest member of the Pro Bowl roster if he continues his dominant 2019 campaign. Through six games, Chark has totaled 528 yards and five touchdowns, bringing that hot stretch into a matchup against a Cincinnati Bengals Defense that has yielded the fewest points […]

Duke Johnson Retains Peripheral Fantasy Value For Week 7

Houston Texas running back Duke Johnson is still drawing snaps and making the most of his time on the field, but has seen Carlos Hyde erupt over the past few weeks as a ball carrier. Johnson found the end zone as a receiver last week, his first receiving touchdown since Week 10 of last season. […]

Carlos Hyde Set To Lead Texans Rushing Attack In Week 7

He may have been acquired in the wake of the Lamar Miller injury, but Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde is making his impact felt with his new franchise.

Will Fuller Aims To Continue Torrid Stretch

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller erupted onto the scene as a legitimate fantasy weapon in Week 5 with his 15-reception, three-touchdown game. He followed it up by a pedestrian outing last week, but he did see nine targets, with finding the end zone on multiple occasions very nearly coming to fruition. The Colts’ pass […]

Dede Westbrook Could Be Solid Flex Option If Active

The primary concern surrounding Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a shoulder ailment that has kept his status for Sunday’s contest up in the air.

Kenny Stills Makes Return To Field For Week 7

After missing two weeks due to a hamstring ailment, Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills will be back in the mix, aiming to haul in targets from quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Deshaun Watson To Make First Divisional Game Start

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson will look to rebound this week after he recorded his first two-interception outing since Week 11 of the 2018 year against Kansas City in Week 6.

Jaguars Defense Presents Steady Option In Week 7

Following two straight close losses, the Jacksonville Jaguars enter their contest against the Cincinnati Bengals needing a victory to remain in AFC playoff conversation.

Gardner Minshew In Line For Bounce-Back Performance

Jacksonville rookie signal caller Gardner Minshew hit a significant bump in the road last week for the first time as a starter. The cure for that skid?

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Posts Quiet Outing

It was an underwhelming afternoon for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who reeled in just one reception for 18 yards during the team’s victory over the Cowboys.
