Week 10 gave us yet another taste of the potential of D’Andre Swift in a workhorse role. The rookie turned 21 total touches into 149 total yards and a touchdown, making fantasy managers salivate (while further increasing the frustration felt every week that Swift hasn’t been a focal point in the Lions offense). Swift is an easy must-start if he was to get this kind of workload every week, but not every fantasy lineup decision, however, is that easy — especially when it comes to the FLEX… Source link

The Telegraph How Tiger Woods shot a 10 on a par three at the Masters: stroke by stroke Tiger Woods recorded his highest score on a single hole in his 26-year professional career with a calamitous 10 at Augusta National’s par-three 12th on Sunday. The treacherous short hole was good to Woods in his 2019 comeback victory when fellow contenders Francesco Molinari, Brooks Koepka and Ian Poulter all found Rae’s Creek, but it came back to bite him in brutal fashion in this year’s final round.

Sit and start is relative and league dependent, so consider some of these suggestions more “fliers” and “fades” (note that some are targeted for DFS). Good luck with your Week 10 lineups. Washington Football Team @ Detroit Lions Start: J.D. McKissic Sit: Marvin Jones McKissic led all running backs in routes run last week while racking up 14 targets, something that should continue with Alex Smith taking over at quarterback (McKissic has a 36.7% target share with Check-Down Alex), so he’s… Source link

Sit and start is relative and league dependent, so consider some of these suggestions more “fliers” and “fades” (note that some are targeted for DFS). Good luck with your Week 9 lineups. Seattle Seahawks @ Buffalo Bills Start: DeeJay Dallas, John Brown Dallas recorded the seventh-highest snap share among backs last week, scoring twice against a 49ers defense that’s allowed the fewest fantasy points to RBs this season. He should be looking at a solid workload once again Sunday with… Source link

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took an optimistic tone about his team’s 23-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. During his weekly interview on Dallas’ 105.3 The Fan, he said that he felt the team played better in general despite the final result of the game. It wouldn’t be a Jerry interview without some brutal honesty, though, and he saved some of it for rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci. The 2020 draft pick, who was pressed into service following Dak Prescott’s injury… Source link
