UPDATE 11:50 a.m.: DJ Moore returned to the game early in the fourth quarter. He was on the field for every play of the drive, and nearly scored a touchdown. However, he was ruled down at the one-yard line. As the third quarter wound down in Sunday’s London matchup between the Chicago Bears and the […]

About halfway through the third quarter of Sunday’s London game between the Chicago Bears and the Jacksonville Jaguars, the broadcast team announced that Jaguars RB Travis Etienne is questionable to return with a hamstring injury. Both Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson had seen increased snaps during the game, with Johnson grabbing a notable touch on […]

Earlier Saturday evening, the Las Vegas Raiders downgraded Jakobi Meyers (ankle) to doubtful for tomorrow’s Week 6 game against the Steelers. This opens up an avenue to fantasy darlingdom for Tre Tucker, about whom my colleague, Zach Thompson, wrote here in his Week 6 wide receiver sleepers column: Without Davante Adams, Tucker jumps into a […]

Fridays are for Five Lists of Five! Whose bench is feeling sparkling this week? Everyone’s? Probably! Far too many injuries out there; far too many RB3/WR3 stashes that might pop off at any moment and win you your DFS week or your season-long leagues. Let me break this series of lists down for you again: […]

Fridays are for Five lists of Five, baby. Let’s get you set for Week 6. Because, honestly—all I want is for you to be better than your friends. You’re going to be surrounded by them on Sunday, probably. How sweet would it be if you could be sure you’ve checked every box possible that might […]

I was so excited about this dude’s potential in Week 5 that I nearly bought a Dontayvion Wicks jersey. That’s how all-in I was. I contemplated writing a bold predictions article; Wicks would have been at the center of that, and I would have projected him to have something like a Jauan Jennings Week 3 […]

I don’t think anyone, after Blake Corum’s Week 3 game against the Cardinals in which he logged eight carries for 28 yards, thought the time had come for him to officially start splitting carries with Kyren Williams. It was likely, anyways, that Kyren managers might have already been stashing Corum. There was, for about a […]

We’re back with Week 6’s best fantasy football stash players, fresh off some middling success. No thanks to once-fantasy-football-sleepers-now-just-jeepers-creepers Dontayvion Wicks, Xavier Legette, and Jerry Jeudy. Though the last, there, might be more of a Deshaun Watson problem. In Week 5, we hit on: Tucker Kraft, Jordan Whittington, and, most gloriously, Alec Pierce. Hope you […]
