Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto will start and hit cleanup against Gerrit Cole and the Astros in Game 5 of the World Series. The Nationals have lost the last two games and Soto is 0-for-7 with four strikeouts during that span. Soto, however, will be counted on to deliver in Game 5 against Cole. The... Read More
Jamison Crowder Has Another Disappointing Game
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder made three catches for 23 yards in another lackluster game from the Jets offense. Crowder had a monster game in Week 1, but has eclipsed the 40-yard mark just once since then and is yet to find the end zone playing for an anemic offense. Despite the lack... Read More
Yuli Gurriel Has Hits In All Four World Series Games
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel will hit fifth against the Nationals Max Scherzer in Game 5 of the World Series. Gurriel will carry a five-game playoff hitting streak into this pivotal game and is hitting .278 with two doubles and three runs batted in during the World Series. Gurriel is hitting only .172 on... Read More
Martin Maldonado Gets Game 5 Start
Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado will start and hit eighth in Game 5 of the World Series.

Robinson Chirinos Sits For Game 5
Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos is not in the lineup for Game 5 of the World Series against the Nationals. The veteran has come up huge in the past two games, going 4-for-9 with one double, two home runs and three runs batted in. It certainly can be considered a curious move by manager A.J.... Read More
Le'Veon Bell Gets Only 12 Touches Vs Jaguars
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell ran the ball nine times for 23 yards while adding three receptions for an additional 12 yards in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday.

Robby Anderson Has Quiet Day Amid Trade Rumors
New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson made four catches for 43 scoreless yards in what might be his final game as a member of the Jets.

Royce Freeman Hopes To See Uptick In Volume
Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman enters Week 8 with a daunting matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Freeman has been the top receiving back in Denver this year, outshining teammate Phillip Lindsay in that regard, and has started to find Flex volume in his role. This past week the Broncos moved wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders... Read More
Phillip Lindsay Looks For Bounce Back Week
Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is coming off of a disappointing Week 7 performance against the Chiefs and the road does not lighten up as he looks to bounce back against a stout Indianapolis Colts Defense. Lindsay has continued to prove that he has the most fantasy value out of the Denver backfield, but... Read More
George Springer Looks To Spark Astros
Houston Astros outfielder George Springer went 2-for-4 and reached base three times in the Astros 4-1 win over the Nationals in Game 3 of the World Series. Springer will hit leadoff in Saturday's pivotal Game 4 and will face Nationals starter Patrick Corbin. Springer has multiple hits in two of his last three games and,... Read More
Chargers Defense Could Have Streaming Value
The Los Angeles Chargers Defense could have value as a streaming defense against the Chicago Bears if they are able to get to quarterback Mitch Trubisky. The Bears offensive line has not been an effective unit this season, giving up 15 sacks in six games. That lack of protection could give the Chargers an opportunity, with... Read More
Jake Marisnick Gets Starting Nod For Game 4
Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick will start and hit eighth in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday. With National left-handed starter Patrick Corbin on the mound, veteran Josh Reddick will come off the bench in this pivotal game. This is quite a gamble from manager A.J. Hinch as Marisnick has seen only four... Read More
Chase McLaughlin Shouldn't Be Started
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Chase McLaughlin shouldn't be started this week against the Chicago Bears. While the Chargers kicker has been relatively accurate this season, he has missed two field goals, although he converted all of his attempts against the Tennessee Titans last week. However, the Chargers are unlikely to be a high-scoring offense this... Read More
Adam Eaton White-Hot Heading Into Game 4
Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton is enjoying a fantastic World Series thus far, going 6-for-12 (.500) through the first three games heading into Game 4. Eaton also will take a seven-game playoff hitting streak into the game and is 10-for-29 (.344) with six runs batted in during that span. The veteran table-setter has also done... Read More
Hunter Henry A Likely Starter Against Chicago This Week
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry is likely a starting option this week against the Chicago Bears, despite the matchup. The Bears have been one of the better units against tight ends this season, giving up an average of just 7.8 points to the position. However, they haven't faced a tight end that is... Read More
Injured Kurt Suzuki Not In Game 4 Lineup
Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (hip) is not in the lineup for Game 4 of the World Series against the Nationals. The veteran has been struggling with other minor injuries for the past two months and exited Game 3 early with a right hip flexor injury. Suzuki is only 3-for-30 this postseason and some of... Read More
Matt Ryan Ruled Out for Week 8
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan was able to get in some limited practices this week but will sit out at least one game to heal from his ankle injury. The ancient Matt Schaub will get the start for the Falcons, meaning... Read More
Yan Gomes Gets Game 4 Start
Washington Nationals catcher Yan Gomes will start and hit eighth against the Astros in Game 4 of the World Series.

Read More
Jose Altuve Slugging .600 In World Series
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will try and tie up the World Series at 2-2 in Game 4 against the Nationals on Saturday. Altuve continues to provide exceptional offense at the plate and is slugging .600 in the first three World Series games with three doubles. It has been another fantastic postseason offensively for... Read More
Mike Williams Has Touchdown Upside
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has touchdown upside this week against the Chicago Bears, which is going to be crucial for his fantasy outlook. Williams saw a fall-off in his targets last week, bringing him back to the levels he has typically seen throughout his career, which damages his outlook. However, the big-bodied... Read More
Michael Brantley Rides Hot Streak Into Game 4
Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is streaking at the plate right now and will try to keep it going into Game 4 of the World Series. Brantley went 2-for-4 with two RBI-singles in Game 3 and the veteran is now 6-for-15 (.400) over his last four playoff games. After a slow start to his postseason,... Read More
Keenan Allen A Low-End WR1 For Chicago Matchup
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is a low-end WR1 this week in his matchup against Chicago, assuming that he plays. Allen has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has limited his participation in practice, and he likely will be a game-time decision. However, if he is able to play, then he should... Read More
Austin Ekeler Has Flex Consideration Against Chicago
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler should be considered as a flex option for his matchup against the Chicago Bears. Ekeler has seen a reduction in carries since Melvin Gordon returned to the team, but he still has been heavily involved in the passing game. The Chicago Bears have given up an average of... Read More
Melvin Gordon Could Be In Line For Big Performance
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon could be in line for a big performance against the Chicago Bears this week. Gordon hasn't performed well since his return from his early-season holdout, due in part to the struggles of the offensive line, but this game offers a get-right opportunity. The Chargers are set to welcome... Read More
Drew Brees Expected to Start in Week 8
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) is expected to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals "barring an unforeseen setback". Teddy Bridgewater did an excellent job in place of Brees, but all Saints skill position players will get a nice uptick in value with Brees under center. The Saints have a bye week next... Read More
Philip Rivers A Borderline Streaming Option Against Chicago
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is a borderline streaming option for his matchup against the Chicago Bears. Rivers is likely to welcome his starting left tackle Russell Okung (heart) back for the first time this season, and crucially the Chicago Bears Defense isn't the same without defensive tackle Akiem Hicks. However, the Bears have... Read More
Jake Kumerow Has Fantasy Value In Deep Leagues This Week
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow has fantasy value in deep leagues in Week 8, but only if things break his way. During the preseason, Kumerow seemed to be the next man up for the Packers if any of their receivers missed time, but it has been Allen Lazard who has seen more of... Read More
Allen Lazard Has Value Against Kansas City
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard has value in deeper leagues this week against the Kansas City Chiefs due to injured receivers on the team. Davante Adams (toe) has missed the past two matchups and is doubtful for this one, vacating targets for the offense. Lazard played the most snaps among receivers last week and... Read More
