Jake Luton Should Probably Not Be On The Fantasy Radar
It's tough to know what to read into Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Jake Luton's first NFL start. His second pass of the game was a long touchdown, but it was also his only touchdown pass of the day, and he also threw an interception. With the Packers on deck Sunday and currently ranking sixth in […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoTee Higgins Continues Trending Up
Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins has 70-plus receiving yards in four consecutive games and will look to continue his strong run on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh has a strong defense but has struggled somewhat when it comes to preventing fantasy points to wide receivers, as they allow the eighth-most in the […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoTyler Boyd Remains A WR2 Play
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has a tough Week 10 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, though Boyd's role in this Cincy offense keeps him in the WR2 conversation, albeit with a lower floor than usual. Boyd has found the end zone in his team's past two games with 20 targets across those contests, giving […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoGiovani Bernard Has Upside And Risk In Week 10
With Joe Mixon (foot) out, Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard will get another shot at the lead-back role on Sunday against the Steelers. Bernard has gotten some good volume the last couple of weeks and has three touchdowns in the past two games, but this matchup with the Steelers has the makings of one […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJoe Burrow Has Tough Week 10 Matchup
Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow has been playing some solid football, but he has a potential nightmare matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. Pittsburgh allows the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, and while Burrow has thrown for 300 or more yards in all but three games this year, he's […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDavid Montgomery Ruled Out For Week 10
Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (concussion) has been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Montgomery has been commanding a fairly large share of the touches in Chicago, seeing a snap rate of over 80 percent for five consecutive games before his injury in Week 9. With no Montgomery, expect to […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoStefon Diggs Has Strong Upside Against Arizona
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs is a fantasy WR1. It's not what we expected when he arrived in Buffalo to play in an offense that had been more run-centric, but Diggs has impressed so much that he has now joined that top tier of fantasy receivers. On the season, Diggs is averaging seven catches […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDez Bryant Not A Fantasy Option In Week 10
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant remains on the team's practice squad, but even if he's activated for Sunday's game against the Patriots, he should remain on the fantasy sidelines. Some were tempted by Bryant's name recognition to play him in Week 9, but Bryant played just two snaps in that game. He's clearly not […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoMark Andrews Has Terrifying Week 10 Matchup
The New England Patriots allow fewer fantasy points per game to tight ends than any other NFL team. That's potentially terrible news for Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews in Week 10, as he has to face off against this Pats team. Andrews was expected to be a top fantasy tight end this season, but […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoMarquise Brown Remains Boom/Bust Play In Week 10
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown is an explosive player, but he's also shown some poor consistency this season. Brown has just four catches over the past two games, including just one reception against the Steelers in Week 8. That one catch did go for a three-yard touchdown, but overall, Brown's target share is troublesome. The […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoLamar Jackson Has Strong Upside Against Patriots
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson isn't playing like his 2019 MVP self this year, but even with some struggles, fantasy managers should feel confident about plugging him in as their QB1 on Sunday night against the Patriots. While Jackson hasn't thrown for more than two touchdowns in a game since Week 1, his upside as […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoVikings Waive Pat Elflein
The Minnesota Vikings have waived guard Pat Elflein (knee), who had spent the season on the Injured Reserve due to a knee injury. The Vikings will roll with second-round rookie offensive guard Ezra Cleveland moving forward. Losing Elflein doesn't really change the outlook of things in Minnesota, as they were already operating without him, but […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoD.J. Chark Jr. Off Week 10 Injury Report
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (illness) is off the injury report and should be a full go on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. With rookie quarterback Jake Luton under center, Jacksonville moved the ball well in Week 9 against Houston. That might be a tougher task against the Packers, but Chark seems […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBen Roethlisberger Activated From COVID-19 List
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been activated from the league's COVID-19 list. Defined as a close contact with a player who tested positive, Roethlisberger was put on the list until it was clear that he hadn't contracted the virus. Now, he'll be set to play on Sunday when the Steelers face the Cincinnati Bengals. […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoWide Receiver Breakouts You Haven't Noticed Yet
Travis Fulgham, Chase Claypool, Justin Jefferson...these are guys who everyone is talking about, breakout players who have ascended the ranks at wide receiver in 2020. But there are also players who are breaking out below the surface, guys who might not have stolen the fantasy world's attention but who are currently on the way up. […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoTape Tells All: Jake Luton's Week 9 Performance
The Jacksonville Jaguars have a new starting quarterback. As Gardner Minshew II deals with a hand injury, the team has turned to rookie sixth-round pick Jake Luton to man the QB position. In Luton's first NFL start, the Oregon State product threw for a surprisingly high 304 yards, going 26-for-38 with a touchdown and an […]

The NBA and NBA Players Association have agreed to a deal that will start free agency on Nov. 20, just two days after the 2020 NBA draft. With the NBA season tipping off on Dec. 22, free agency is likely to progress even more quickly than normal as teams try to quickly establish their 2020-21 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoWide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10
Dez Bryant is back! But while the veteran receiver did return to an NFL roster this week, his complete lack of involvement means you won't find his name on this week's waiver wire pickup list. You will find some other names, though, if you're looking for non-Dez names! Not all options are the same. Some […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoMichael Pittman Jr. Leads Colts In Receiving Yards
The Indianapolis Colts might have the most difficult receiving corps to predict in the NFL. The team continues to spread the ball around to a plethora of options, leading to no one really breaking out. Case in point: in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught four passes for a […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJonathan Taylor Scores Touchdown, Loses Fumble
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor continued his uneven rookie campaign on Sunday in a loss to the Ravens. On the bright side, Taylor scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the season. On the other hand, Taylor had just six carries for 27 yards and lost a fumble. He also added two catches for seven […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoNo Week 9 Touchdowns For Philip Rivers
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers was 25-for-43 for 227 yards in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but he was unable to push the ball into the end zone. Rivers did throw an interception. After tossing six touchdowns over the past two games, this result was a clear disappointment. It was also the second time […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoTyler Lockett Largely Quiet Against Bills
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught just four passes for 40 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. Lockett's had a strange 2020 season, with a pair of three-touchdown games in the six contests, but then no more than 44 yards and zero touchdowns in the other four. While he has a high […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoD.K. Metcalf Leads Team In Receiving Against Bills
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf continued to show why he's one of the top wide receivers in the NFL on Sunday. In a 44-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Metcalf recorded seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown. He saw a team-high nine targets. Metcalf now has recorded 90 or more yards in […]

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas rushed seven times for 31 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He scored his second rushing touchdown in two weeks and also added two receptions for eight yards. With no Carlos Hyde and Chris Carson, Dallas got the chance to show what he could do as the […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoRussell Wilson Posts Big Numbers In Loss
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson didn't get off to the greatest start in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he managed to post solid fantasy numbers by the end of the game. Wilson as 28-for-41 for 390 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Wilson also added two carries for five yards with a […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoK.J. Hamler Targeted 10 Times Against Falcons
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler was targeted 10 times in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, catching six of those passes for 75 yards. Hamler entered the game with just 18 targets on the season, so this explosion in usage was a bit unexpected. It's unclear if we can expect this trend to […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJerry Jeudy Has Huge Week 9
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught seven of his 14 targets in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, finishing with 125 yards and a touchdown. The rookie has struggled to find consistent production this season, but he's been targeted 24 times over the past two games. If we follow the targets, we should expect […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoPhillip Lindsay, Melvin Gordon III Quiet Against Falcons
The Denver Broncos rushing game never got going on Sunday against the Falcons, with running backs Phillip Lindsay and Melvin Gordon III struggling to find rushing room and rushing opportunities in a game where Denver was down big at times. Lindsay had eight carries for 23 yards and failed to bring in any of his […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDrew Lock Tosses 300 Yards Against Falcons
Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock took advantage of a pass-happy game script on Sunday in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons, going 25-for-48 for 313 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He also added seven carries for a team-high 47 yards and a touchdown. It was a great fantasy day for the second-year passer, […]

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis caught four passes for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Seattle Seahawks. He was targeted five times, which ranked third on the team. Davis out-targeting Cole Beasley is an interesting wrinkle from Sunday's game, though it likely doesn't mean a ton in the short term, […]
