Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson has a dream matchup with a Giants Defense playing on a short week after their Monday night loss to Tampa Bay. New York allows the third-most receiving yards to opposing running backs so the former college wide receiver could make some big plays in the passing game. Washington, on the other hand, is coming off their bye setting

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is a QB2 against the Chiefs this week. The QB posted only 176 yards in his last game and has a total of three touchdowns and three interceptions in the past three games. Bridgewater is not the best option to stream this week against a Chiefs team allowing the sixth-fewest points to QBs as his numbers are usually not too

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic has been productive thus far in 2020 and earned praise from head coach Ron Rivera for his versatility. Rivera mentioned that McKissic could be an every-down back if he needed to be and that the team will continue to try and get the ball in the hands of the 27-year-old. McKissic has at least six targets in three

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) has officially been listed as questionable for the Week 9 matchup with the Broncos. Ridley was unable to practice all week after suffering the foot injury against the Panthers in Week 8. His inability to even get in a limited session certainly doesn’t bode well for his chances of suiting up against Denver. If he goes, Ridley is

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen picked up his first win as a starter in Week 7 and will look to carry that momentum into a matchup with the Giants. Allen had his best statistical performance of the season versus New York in Week 6, as he threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns. Allen also had two turnovers in that game, but those are

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is an easy, must-start option against the Broncos in Week 9. Denver ranks 19th in fantasy points allowed to wideouts and just surrendered a 9-67-1 line to Chargers’ number-one receiver Keenan Allen. The Falcons could be without the services of Calvin Ridley (foot), which would mean a boost in targets for Jones, who has two 100-yard games in his

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled so far in 2020 and has fallen off the radar for fantasy at the midway point of his second NFL season. Jones has just 1,666 yards with a 61.8 percent completion percentage through eight games while sporting a ghastly 7:9 touchdown to interception ratio. Now he faces a Washington defense known for getting after the quarterback. Jones

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Cardinals. Myles Gaskin (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week, which means the Dolphins will have to lean on Jordan Howard to step up after he’s been a healthy scratch each of the last three games. Second-year back Patrick Laird and undrafted rookie Salvon Ahmed are also

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II faces a Denver defense that ranks 18th against the run in 2020. At first glance, that would seem to bode well for Gurley II. However, the former Ram has averaged an unimpressive 3.8 yards per carry and has propped up his fantasy value with eight touchdowns. The Broncos are tied with the Ravens for the fewest touchdowns allowed

The New Orleans Saints placed defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday and activated running back Ty Montgomery (hamstring) from IR in a corresponding move. Rankins sprained the MCL in his knee in the Week 8 overtime win over the Bears, and he’ll be out for at least the next three weeks. He’s been one of the team’s better pass-rushers in his

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan faces a plus matchup in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. Denver has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing signal-callers while Ryan checks in as the QB10. The veteran could be without Calvin Ridley (ankle), who is questionable, though he should have enough weapons at his disposal to put up solid numbers against Denver. Ryan has thrown for at

The Green Bay Packers put rookie quarterback Jordan Love on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. It’s unclear if Love actually tested positive for coronavirus or if he was just a high-risk close contact of linebacker Krys Barnes, who tested positive after playing in Thursday night’s game against the 49ers. The 22-year-old from Utah State was a surprise first-round selection this year at 26th overall, but

The Miami Dolphins placed rookie wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Selected in the third round by the Raiders, Bowden was dealt to the Dolphins before ever playing a game with Las Vegas. It’s unclear if Bowden actually tested positive for coronavirus or if he was just a high-risk close contact, but either way he won’t be active in Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Saints on Sunday night, but head coach Bruce Arians expects the receiver to play in the divisional showdown. Godwin caught passes for the first time on Friday since undergoing surgery on Oct. 27 for a fractured left index finger. He was sporting a bulky white brace

Seattle Seahawks All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (groin) will play in Week 9 against the Bills. Don’t look now, but Seattle’s defense is getting healthy and could improve on what was a pretty rough start to the 2020 season. Adams hasn’t played since Week 3, but he’s a must-start IDP defensive back whenever he’s on the field. The 25-year-old former first-round pick has 23 tackles and

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 9 against the Bills. With both backs out again, Seattle will likely promote Alex Collins from the practice squad to the active roster. Carson and Hyde will both be missing their second straight game. Make sure you remove them from any starting lineups. Rookie DeeJay Dallas carried

Minnesota Vikings cornerbacks Cameron Dantzler (concussion), Holton Hill (foot) and Mark Fields (chest) have been ruled out for Week 9 against the division-rival Lions. Dantzler, a third-round pick, suffered a neck injury against Green Bay in Week 7 and was carted off on a backboard and taken to a hospital. Rookie cornerback Harrison Hand (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Corner Mike Hughes (neck) was put

The Detroit Lions will be without starting safety Tracy Walker (foot) and All-Pro kick returner Jamal Agnew (ribs) in Week 9 against the division-rival Vikings. Walker played in every snap last Sunday against the Colts but showed up with a foot injury and didn’t practice all week. Some combination of Will Harris and Jayron Kearse could fill Walker’s role this weekend. Receivers Marvin Hall and

Carolina Panthers rookie safety Jeremy Chinn (knee), defensive tackle Zach Kerr (toe) and defensive end Marquis Haynes (shoulder) are all listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Chiefs. Kerr practiced in full each of the last two days, so his status is looking good. Chinn, the team’s second-round pick, has played nearly every defensive snap this year and has been an excellent open-field tackler

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (shoulder) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) are both expected to play on Sunday against the Buccaneers. Both players were limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, leading to some insinuation from head coach Sean Payton that they would be game-time calls. However, it seems that New Orleans will be at full strength for the first time since
