Fantasy Football News and Rumors

I think I may need to grab him this week, even though he's on bye.

My opponent picking up Tonyan midweek as a FA made the difference last night in one of my leagues. I dropped to 1-2 in that league. I should've picked him up to play keep away. LOL. I'll just have to be happy with being 4-0 in my other league.

Reading more about Tonyan right now. He's a really good athlete for a TE. He ran 4.58 seconds at his pro day (although, we have to be skeptical about pro day 40's because it's not automatic timing). I think we can trust to numbers for jumping measurements. He had a 35-inch vertical leap and a 10 ft 5 in broad jump.

I think it's funny. And I think the Ravens taking Dobbins was dumber than the Packers taking Love. I think Dobbins will be a better complete back, but Gus gets the job done, for the current Ravens scheme. They don't need a check down receiving back with Lamar's legs.

Wouldn't shock me to see him score a couple times against the Bungles.

Now you guys have me convinced that I need to drop Dobbins. It's a redraft league, and it just doesn't seem like he's ever going to pay off this year. Like someone mentioned, even if someone goes down in Baltimore, Dobbins will still be splitting carries.

They mentioned a few times last night that he worked out with George Kittle during the off season.

He almost scored as much as Kittle this week. I have Kittle on my team that is 4-0. A monster week for both guys. Both guys scored in the 30's in half PPR.

Agreed, until you realize Ingram is 30+, and they have a convenient buy out after this season in his contract... Then it makes a bit more sense.
Still, Dobbins in KC would've made SOOO much more sense, and would be working out SOO much better than CEH.

Yo @Lamarvelous what happened to drake

I'm giving Drake one more shot against the Jets this week. If he doesn't produce he is getting benched. I have him in only 2 leagues, both PPR. Edmonds is almost outscoring him in PPR. Pathetic. Funny thing is I got him in the 3rd round in both these leagues...and he still isn't worth it.

I hope you picked up Edmonds.

Who else u have

I have Edmonds and Drake in one of the leagues. In the other league I have a ton of RB depth: Mixon, Mostert, Gordon and Drake.

To be clear, I am starting in the league where I have Edmonds and Drake.
In the other league, I am not starting him...depends how healthy Mostert is.

The Week 5 game between the Bills and Titans could be moved to Monday or Tuesday.​

Players for both teams were reportedly told delaying the Week 5 game was one option under consideration as the Titans deal with their COVID-19 outbreak. This option would no longer be viable if the Titans continue to report new COVID cases throughout the week. Moving the game to Monday or Tuesday would bump the Week 6 Thursday night Bills-Chiefs game to Saturday, October 17.

NBC Denver's Mike Klis reports Sunday's Patriots/Broncos game is moving moved to Monday evening.​

Per Klis, it will be an "early Monday night game." That presumably means 7:05 PM ET like last Monday's Patriots/Chiefs tilt. This game is not quite out of the woods yet after Stephon Gilmore became the Pats' second high-profile COVID-19 positive, but we should gain clarity over the next 48 hours. Although this is not a high-wattage fantasy game, managers can for now leave their Pats and Broncos in their lineups.

The Tampa Bay Times confirms Mike Evans (ankle) will be active for Thursday's game against the Bears.​

Evans almost got short-week'd after going 7/122/1 on his bum ankle vs. the Chargers last Sunday, but he's good to know. Ideally, Evans would probably be on a snap count, but that might not be possible with Chris Godwin and Justin Watson both on the shelf. At less than full health for a tough matchup, Evans is more of a WR2 than WR1 for Week 5.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Sunday's game between the Bills and Titans is being moved to 6PM ET Tuesday.​

That, of course, is "as long as there are no more positive tests with Tennessee." The Titans have so far proven incapable of that. We certainly wouldn't consider it a given that the game happens. Anything later than Tuesday would not be feasible. For the Titans, this would mean two games in six days, though the Bills catch a break, as they are on Thursday Night Football in Week 6. Sit tight, as the Titans' weekend COVID testing will tell the tale here.

I have Derrick Henry in a couple of leagues. Sad but i dont feel like risking Henry in my lineup only to find out Sunday that the Titans players keep testing positive.

Surely if they can make it to Sunday morning without any further positives, its gotta be a sign they learned thier lesson....right? Poor dumb bastards
