Two teams that have started the season slowly will face each other Monday night when the Chargers visit the Saints. The Saints are currently eight-point favorites, but the pros and the joes appear to have a difference of opinion about this game.

LeSean McCoy may have spent last season with Patrick Mahomes

LeSean McCoy may have spent last season with Patrick Mahomes, but the running back already thinks Tom Brady is the best quarterback he has Brett Favre T Shirts called a teammate.McCoy was a member of the Chiefs in2019 andlooked on as Mahomes led the franchise to its first Super Bowl victory in half a century as it came back to beatthe 49ers in Miami.Mahomes was named MVP of Super Bowl 54 adding to his NFL MVP award in 2018 and received a record contract extension worth up to $503 million this offseason that reflectshis status as one of the league's leading pa sers.MORE: That elite echelon has included Charles Woodson Jersey Brady for much of the past two decades,during which time he won six Super Bowl rings with thePatriots,and the 43-year-old is out to prove he can do it elsewhere after signing with the Buccaneers in the offseason.McCoy, who was inactive for Super Bowl 54, has also joined a Bucs team with Super Bowl aspirationsand he has been impre sed with what he has seen from Brady.In Devonte Wyatt Jersey a Twitter Q&A se sion with Bucs fans, the former Eagles running back was asked who is the best quarterback he has ever played with."Technically, I haven't played with Tom Brady yet," the 32-year-old McCoy said. "But it would be Tom Brady, for sure. Dang, I forgot Mahomes.Brady would be No. 1, obviously, even Reggie White Jersey though we haven't played a game."It would go Brady, Mahomes and then Mike Vickand Donovan McNabb."WE READY LeSean Shady Mccoy (@CutonDime25) McCoy is a six-time Pro Bowler and was named to the NFL's All-Decade team for the 2010s.He was linked with a return to the Eagles but explained whythe Bucs felt like the best landing spot."The reason why I chose the Bucs? Just the DNA of the team," he added. "I think we've got some great coaches here that I can learn from, that have been succe sful."The veterans that signed here, I Jimmy Graham Jersey think we have a lot of similarities. Then just the team in general from defense to offense, the players we have already. Just the right fit, man."

Tom Brady's run as the greatest NFL player of all time may b

vallieklein — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 02:07:50 +0000

Tom Brady's run as the Steven Montez Jersey greatest NFL player of all time may be coming to an end.Maybe.According to reports by Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports and Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Brady's future in the league is uncertain following the 2022 NFL playoffs. Per CBS Sports, the Buccaneers organization is bracing for life after Brady following the conclusion of the season."He hasn't signaled one way or the other what he's going to do, and maybe he doesn't know himself," one source close to Brady told . "But it wouldn't be surprising if this was the end."MORE: Added another source: "Nothing's been said, but there is a sense among some guys in the locker room that this is it, one way or the other. It's just little things here or there they are picking up on. Maybe it turns out to be nothing."Brady, 44, has led his team to the playoffs for the 19th time in his career. He is 35-11 in 46 career postseason games and has a chance to win his record-eighth Super Bowl trophy. Another such victory would give Brady back-to-back Lombardi Trophies for the first time since the 2002 and '03 seasons.The Bucs' postseason run has been historic.Tom Brady is 17-3 over his last 20 playoff games (14-6 ATS). To put that into perspective, no NFL team has ever gone 17-3 over a span of 20 playoff games. The closest was Washington, which went 16-4 from January 1983 to January 1993.. trey wingo (@wingoz) Moreover, Brady has not only continued to play at an MVP level, but has also thrown more this Taylor Decker Jersey season than any of his previous years in the league. He has registered single-season career-highs in completions (485), attempts (718) and yards (5,316) while accounting for 43 touchdowns and 312.7 pa sing yards per game (both marks that rank second in a season in Brady's career).But Brady has worked with short contracts in his two seasons in Tampa Bay and, per Rapoport, has not indicated whether he will return to the team in 2022, the final year of his current contract.MORE: "From what I understand he has not yet told the Bucs that he DeShon Elliott Jersey will be back. And you talk to sources close to him, as I have over the course over the past couple of days, He is expected to take some time away following the season, whatever happens, and consider retirement. Is it time for him to step away from the game?"For the first time at the age of 44 Tom Bradys future is finally actually up in the air. on Tom Brady po sibly considering retirement after this season. NFL Network (@nflnetwork) Rapoport mentioned the potential reasoning for Brady to step away from the game: not only spending more time with his family, but focusing on his non-football ventures, including a clothing line, potential movie deals, production companies and more.MORE: Brady, in a July interview with Jim Gray on SiriusXM Radio, said his aim was to play at least to his age-45 season, which would occur in 2022."I felt for a long time, I could play until I was 45 years old," Brady said. "I think I committed to say, 'Hey, I'm going to play till I'm 45.' And this year I'll be 44, which naturally takes me to the next year. I've got a two-year contract. We'll see what happens beyond that."Brady had previously reiterated that stance in a June interview with USA Today, saying, "Ive always said 45 was the age that I wanted to reach and that was my goal. This year Ill be 44, so next year Ill be 45. I got a two-year contract.Im going to be able to Tracy Walker III Jersey obviously play this year and God forbid anything happens but play next year and then see what happens after that. If I still want to keep playing, I might be able to do that. Detroit Lions Home Office And if thats enough, then that would be enough.Brady, however, also said he thought he could play until he's 50, per a September episode of the show. When asked to clarify those statements, Brady walked them back:Well, I think Gronk asked if I thought I could," Brady said. "Whether I think I can or I will are two different things. So, I think from my body standpoint and how Ive been able to take care of myself over the years can put me in a position to do that, and you never know what can happen as I keep moving forward."I know Im having a lot of fun playing. And again, at my age, Ive agreed to play next year, as well, but beyond that, itll just take it year by year."

vallieklein — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 02:07:14 +0000

If you're a fantasy football owner that landed one of the top pickups on the waiver wirethis week in Mike Davis and Dion Lewis, congratulations! They should be primed for some Bart Scott Jersey big weeks in the near future. That said, this week, they may not be recommended starts, as they both have high bust potential. But it's not just handcuff RBs we're worried about. Even future Hall-of-Fame QBs Drew Brees and Tom Brady can't rest on their laurels when it comes to fantasy start 'em, sit 'em decisions.Getting back to the fill-in RBs, bothDavis and Lewis should, hypothetically, have easy paths to the lead-back roles in their respective offenses, but both face difficult matchups. Plus, it's entirely po sible that Matt Rhule and Joe Judge, two first-year coaches, use frustrating committees that limit the opportunities of these backs. In short, we just won't know what these guys will be trusted to do until we see it happen.WEEK 3: |Brady andBrees aren't they only big-name QBs we're fading this week. Deshaun Watson is also not a recommended start against an elite Steelersdefense. Our receiver and tight end bust picks also face tough matchups, and it was a lot easier than usual to pick some D/ST busts -- much easier thanfinding a worthwhilestreamer, unfortunately.WEEK 3 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Our Week 2 busts were pretty spot on at RB, TE, and D/ST. Nyheim Hines and Malcolm Brown both saw far le s work than they did in their season openers, and owners that relied on them paid as a result of that. Rob Gronkowski continued to look done, while Evan Engram and T.J. Hockenson racked up some yardage, but no scores. Defensively, the Vikings, Patriots, and Broncosall struggled to contain top offenses (though the Patriots managed to avoid negative points thanks to a pick-six).Quarterback and receiver were a bit more of a struggle, as fading the Falcons (Matt Ryan, Ru sell Gage) and players in the Patriots-Seahawks game (Cam Newton, Tyler Lockett) didn't work out too well. So, we'll have bounce back there in our search for busts this week.WEEK 3 DFS CASH LINEUPS: | |Week 3 Fantasy Busts: Running backsDion Lewis, Giants vs. 49ers(Jacob Camenker).Even if Devonta Freeman sits out this game as he gets acclimated to his new team, it's hard to trust Lewis in this matchup. Lewishandled 10 carries Jarrod Wilson Jersey against the Bears but recorded just 20 yards before salvaginghis fantasy day with a TD. The 49ers might seem like a solid matchup after they lost Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas for the year along with Dee Ford (out indefinitely), but they still have a solid linebacker group and have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game (FPPG) to RBs this season (16.4). Lewis could be a PPR flex, but expecting anything more could prove to be a mistake.Melvin Gordon, Broncos vs. Buccaneers (Vinnie Iyer). Gordons straight-ahead power running will have him crashing into a wall, and game script will be out of whack early.Mike Davis, Panthers @ Chargers (MattLutovsky).Daviswas solid in 2018 when he operated as Seattles lead back for a handful of games, averaging 4.6 yards per carry, but he received just 13 carries last season, so its tough to know what to expect in Week 3 when he starts against the Chargers. We do know that L.A. has done a good job against Joe Mixon (3.6 yards per carry, one catch) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (3.8 yards per carry, six catches), so its likely most of Daviss damage will have to come as a receiver. Maybe you can trust him as a flex in PPR leagues, butyou should probably give him a week to see how he looks in his new role.WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Week 3Fantasy Football Busts: QuarterbacksTom Brady, Buccaneers @ Broncos (Camenker). The matchup with the Broncos may look like a good one on paper for Brady, but Denver is middle of the pack in terms of FPPG allowed to QBs this New York Jets Sleepwear Underwear year. Brady should generate yardage, but if Tampa Bay gets up big early -- which they should against Jeff Driskel and a Broncos team that has been decimated by injuries-- the game script may dictate a more run-heavy approach from the Buccaneers. That will limit Brady's TD upside, so it's best to sit him this week if you can.Deshaun Watson, Texans @ Steelers (Iyer). Its elementary to want to bench even your top-level quarterbacks against this pa s defense, especially with so many intriguing QB2s this week.Drew Brees, Saints vs. Packers (Lutovsky).Brees looked cooked for most of Monday nights game against the Raiders, and even if Michael Thomas (ankle) is back on Sunday night, he likely wont be close to 100 percent. That makes Brees a no-go against a Packers defense that has mostly given up fantasy points to QBs in the fourth quarter of blowout wins this year.WEEK 3 DFS Joe Namath Jersey TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: | | Week 3Fantasy Football Busts: Wide receiversWill Fuller, Texans @ Steelers (Camenker). Fuller didn't see a single target from Deshaun Watson in Week 2 and mi sed time during the game with a hamstring injury. Soft-ti sue injuries tend to linger, and Fuller's matchup against the Steelers is a tough one anyway.Marquise Brown, Ravens vs. Chiefs (Iyer). Hollywood might be made for prime time, but give the Chiefs credit for containing big-play receivers.Robby Anderson, Panthers@ Chargers (Lutovsky).Anderson has opened the year with back-to-back 100-yard games, but his streak will come to a grinding halt against a Chargers secondary that hasdominated wide receivers this year (18.9 fantasy points per game).Week 3Fantasy Football Busts: Tight endsEvan Engram, Giants vs. 49ers (Camenker).The 49ers have allowed only a paltry 1.3 FPPG to tight ends this year. The strength of Isaiah Dunn Jersey their defense, as it currently stands, is their linebackers and safeties, so the Giants may attack the cornerbacks on the outside more. That will mean fewer targets and opportunities for Engram.Austin Hooper, Browns vs. Washington(Iyer). Mott The Hoople would be a better start in fantasy with the way Hooper is struggling with his new team.Jared Cook, Saints vs. Packers (Lutovsky).Cook managed a short touchdown on Monday night, but he was virtually invisible the rest of the game, catching just two-of-five targets for 13 yards. Green Bay allowed 64 yards to T.J. Hockenson last week, but it shut down Minnesotas TE duo in Week 1(3-39) and should be able to do the same to Cook.MORE WEEK 3 DFS: | | Week 3Fantasy Busts: DefensesLos Angeles Rams @ Bills (Camenker). The Rams may be allowing only 18 points per game this season, but Josh Allen has been terrific in his two starts and the Bills are averaging 29 point per game. Expect him

vallieklein — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 02:06:35 +0000

We have a bit of a good news/bad news situation for quarterbacks heading into Week 4. The good: Most of the big-name QBs arestaying healthy (and, thus, maintaining their spots in our Week 4 fantasy QB rankings); the bad: A lot of their WRs are getting hurt.Three weeks into the season, we're starting to get a better read on which veterans might be washed up (Drew Brees? Tom Brady?) and which youngsters could be the real deal (Joe Burrow?). Correctly diagnosing these busts and sleepers going forward could make the difference in your fantasy football season.For the second straight week, Patrick Mahomes gets to face an exciting quarterback counterpart, this time the Patriots and Cam Newton. Just like with the Ravens in Week 3, this matchup poses a much tougher defensive test for Mahomes than it does for his opponent. Hopefully, the strong QB dual leads to a high-scoring shootout, but either way, you're not going to sit Mahomes, regardle s of matchup.(Update: Newton is out after being placed on the COVID-19 list, and this game will be played Monday or Tuesday if it gets played at all this week.)WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | One of our biggest risers this week was Miami Dolphins Hoodies Sweatshirts supposed to be Joe Burrow. The Bengals haven't been shy about letting the rookie sling it, and we saw what the Dolphins did to Jacksonville's defense in Week 3. The only risk with Burrow is an early lead could dampensome of his late-game production, but there should be enough throwing and running room early for Burrow to have a big game regardle s. After seeing Burrow come right back in after taking a huge blow to the head in Week 3, we're believing the rookie can do pretty much anything.WEEK 4 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Gardner Minshew disappointed us in a big way against the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football last week. He forced a few too many pa ses after the Christian Wilkins Jersey Jaguars fell behind, and it certainly looked like the absence of DJ Chark(chest) hurt him, too. We still feel good about Minshew in two-QB and superflex leagues, especially against a mediocre Bengals defense this week, but Chark's status certainly impacts Minshew's playability, and it's fair to expect the occasional clunker from the second-year sixth-round pick.WEEK 4 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: | | For now, we've left Nick Mullens in as San Francisco's quarterback while Jimmy Garoppolo's return from a high-ankle sprain remains uncertain. The Sunday Night Football nature of the 49ers' Week 4 game against the Eagles makes things even trickier for Garoppolo owners. Philadelphia has been vulnerable enough through the air that Garoppolo probably checks in around QB20 if he plays this week. If you hadbeen playing Jimmy G before his injury, nothing about the Eagles is scary enough to change course if Garoppolo returns this week.WEEK 4 DFS CASH LINEUPS: | |We're also leaving Justin Herbert in the rankings with the latest Adam Justin Coleman Jersey Schefter report indicating Tyrod Taylor will likely mi s Week 4 as he recovers from his punctured lung. Los Angeles takes on a tricky Tampa Bay defense in Week 4 that'll probably cause the rookie Herbert some trouble, relegating him to the bench in single-QB leagues.MORE WEEK 4 DFS: | | Note: Check back throughout the week, as we'll continue to update our QB rankings and provide analysis up until kickoff based on the latest news and injury updates.Week 4 Fantasy QB RankingsAnalysis by Matt LutovskyThese rankings are for four-point pa sing TD leagues. WEEK 4 FANTASY: | | RankPlayer1Lamar Jackson, BAL @ WAS2Ru sell Wilson, SEA @ MIA3Kyler Murray, ARZ @ CAR4Josh Allen, BUF @ LV5Dak Prescott, DAL vs. CLE6Aaron Rodgers, GB vs. ATL7Patrick Mahomes, KC vs. NE8Deshaun Watson, HOU vs. MIN.Watson is yet to have a monster game, but the Vikings are allowing 34 points and just under 293 pa sing yards per game. This is the matchup Watson owners have been waiting for after three relatively difficult ones to start the season (@ KC, vs. BAL, @ PIT).9Matt Ryan, ATL @ GB.Ryan could be without Julio Jones (hamstring) and Ru sell Gage (concu sion) this week, and if he is, he might move down in these rankings. He'll still have Calvin Ridley, Hayden Hurst, and several capable backup WRs (Brandon Powell, Olamide Zaccheaus), and given how often the Falcons throw (second most in the league), Ryan can still put up plenty of numbers.10Jared Goff, LAR vs. NYG.Goff continues to put up numbers, but we all know that as soon as you start trusting Goff, he'll throw up a dud out of nowhere. The only reason he's not higher is because the Rams are throwing just 30 times per game (fourth fewest), and given the Giants' problems against the run, this could be a "game manager" outing for Goff. He has plenty of upside, though, so don't hesitate starting him, but he's not quite back to his top-five status just yet.11Joe Burrow, CIN vs. JAX.Burrow has steadily improved in each of his three games, and the Bengals are certainly letting him chuck it (47 attempts per game). Jacksonville has Michael Palardy Jersey allowed seven QB touchdowns the past two weeks -- and this game could easily turn into a shootout -- so Burrow is well worth starting.12Drew Brees, NO @ DET.Brees has been living off Alvin Kamara's run-after-the-catch ability the past few weeks, but he might get Michael Thomas (ankle) back this week. At the very least, Breesseemed to get on the same page as Emmanuel Sanders last week, and he can still put up decent numbers with Sanders, Tre'Quan Smith and Kamara as his primary receivers. Detroit has allowed multiple QB touchdowns in every game this year, so Brees could easily have a big game, but his floor is lower than usual given how he's looked this year.13Matthew Stafford, DET vs. NO.Stafford has Duke Riley Jersey been steady through three weeks, throwing for between 244 and 297 yards each week and producing five total touchdowns. HavingKennyGolladayback in Week 3 paid immediate dividends, and T.J. Hockenson looks like he's made the leap into a reliable tight end. New Orleans has struggled mightily against QBs the past two weeks (283.5 yards, three TDs per game), so Stafford has a lot of upside this week.14Ryan Fitzpatrick, MIA vs. SEA.Seattle is far and away the worst pa s defense in the NFL (430.7 yards per game), so Fitzpatrick should be able to fall into some yards even if he's throwing INTs. Given his underrated rushing ability, Fitzpatrick is a legit QB1 po si

At least a few NFL coaches are questioning the viability of the 2020 NFL season now that players from the Cowboys and Texans, including starDallas running back Ezekiel Elliott, for COVID-19.One head coach told ESPN's Ed Werderthose positive tests are "." Another insisted toWerder the start of the season should be delayed, and a third "questioned the wisdom of playing during a pandemic."The NFL to this point has not done much to alleviate the inevitable concerns a sociated with playing a season in such conditions. Because the league was fortunate the outbreak reached the United States during its offseason, it has been proceeding busine s as usual albeit virtually through the spring and now the summer.But training camps are scheduled to begin in a Ezekiel Elliott Jersey little more than a month, and the clock is ticking for the NFL to establish comprehensive health and safety protocols to be implemented for players, coaches and all team and league personnel.MORE: "Positive tests ," NFL commi sioner Roger GoodelladmittedMonday in a conversation with Mike Greenberg for ESPN's The Return Amari Cooper Jersey of Sports special. "The i sue is, can we obviously prevent as many of those from happening, but in addition, treat them quickly, isolate them and prevent them from directly impacting our player personnel."So none of those players were in the facilities. All of those players, fortunately, have had either mild symptoms or are asymptomatic."But players soon will be invited back to team facilities, where all teams must stay for training camps this year. NFLPA executive DeMaurice Smith reportedly "expects to make headway on overall protocols going forward in the next 30 days or so."Part of the plan, according to NFL Network, will be to and isolateanybody who tests positive Dak Prescott T Shirts . NFLPA medical director Thom Mayer reportedly told player agents "theres a 90 percentchance reliable saliva testing (will be)available before players return to facilities."The NFL and NFLPA on June 8 released that established safety protocols for players to return to team facilities, including locker/meeting room modifications to account for social distancing, cones to establish one-way traffic in common corridors anda limit of 15 players at a time for conditioning workouts. Players also will have to wear masks"except when interfering with athletic activities."The protocols established thus far, though, do not account for on-field practice and/or games. According to NFL Network, the league is considering from 10 to 16 players (after initially planning to expand them to 12) for "greater roster flexibility" to account for positive tests.MORE:As for the NFL coach who told Werderthe start of the 2020 season should be delayed, the league built in a way that can accommodate such a nece sity. All teams are scheduled to play two home games and two away games in the first four weeks with no division games scheduled in Weeks 3 or 4, and all the teams scheduled to play each other in Week 2 have the same Week 9 bye. So the Trevon Diggs T Shirts season could be pushed back to October relatively easily.But as was the case when the pandemic shut down live sports globally in March, everything is fluid. The NFL will do everything in its power to give that coach who"questioned the wisdom of playing during a pandemic" reasons for optimism, but as health officials have said for months, the virus will decide whether a 2020 NFL season is po sible."Unle s players are e sentially in a bubble insulated from the community Dallas Cowboys T Shirts and they are tested nearly every day it would be this fall," Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Thursday. "If there is a second wave, which is certainly a po sibility and which would be complicated by the predictable flu season, football may not happen this year."

Antonio Brown has been a difference-maker for the Buccaneers since making his Tampa Bay debut in Week 9, but will he be available for Super Bowl 55?

And despite plenty of evidence on the contrary, Samuel in the Niners' offense."That's false," Samuel said, chuckling. "...You can turn on the tape and go back to the Cowboys game. It kinda shows what kind of player I am."Despite the offseason rumors, Deebo still loves the wide back role 49ers on NBCS (@NBCS49ers) In that game, a 23-17 San Francisco win in the NFC Wild Card game, Samuel did showcase his dual threat ability. He only reeled in three catches for 38 yards. But Deebo ran 10 times for 72 yards and a touchdown against Dallas' impre sive backline, leading the 49ers to victory.MORE:Samueldidacknowledge https://www.debroncosedge.com/mike-purcell-jerseys that he requested a trade.When asked whether he regretted the decision to ask for a trade, Samuel was fairly reticent."At the end of the day, this is a busine s," Samuel said.

Nick Chubb, Elijah Mitchell, Saquon Barkley, and Latavius Murray are just a few of the laundry list of RBs banged up heading into Week 11, and fantasy start 'em, sit 'em calls at the thin position will be greatly affected if a few cannot play this week. We have the latest injury updates ahead of the weekend so you know which sleepers might emerge and which Nick Foles Jersey studs will be locked into lineups.For news on more RBs, including Alvin Kamara, Miles Sanders, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and James Robinson, click here; for updates on ailingQBsKyler Murray,Baker Mayfield, andBen Roethlisberger,go here; for more on banged-up pa s-catchersAntonio Brown,Dallas Goedert,Rob Gronkowski, andDeAndre Hopkins, click here. Forall the latest fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .WEEK 11 FANTASY: | | Nick Chubb COVID updateUPDATE:Browns OC Alex Van Pelt said to clear COVID protocols and return to action.UPDATE 2:Chubb has cleared COVID protocals and is not on Cleveland's final injury report. Chicago Bears Hoodies Sweatshirts Chubb (reserve/COVID) is at the mercy of clearing league protocols by turning in two negative tests 24 hours apart, so we can't know if he's going to do that until we're officially told. Many expected him to be cleared by this point, but that has not been the case. Given the timeline from when he was put on the reserve/COVID list to now, you'd think he'll be able to play against Detroit, but it's still up in the air.Detroit gives up the third-most fantasy points per game to RBs, so we think this is a "Chubb Arlington Hambright Jersey smash" game. We like him as the and . A 150-plus rushing yards, two-touchdown day wouldn't be surprising in this spot. If he can't go, D'Ernest Johnson would be ranked on the RB1 bubble.WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Elijah Mitchell injury updateUPDATE:Mitchell .UPDATE 2:Mitchell is officially "doubtful" for Week 11.Mitchell (finger) did not practice Wednesday after breaking his finger Monday night, but Kyle Shanahan said . The Jags are in the bottom half of the league against fantasy RBs, and we know the 49ers love being in run-heavy game scripts. Depending which finger is hurt, his rushing ability shouldn't be greatly affected, but you can expect it to limit his receiving work.We like Mitchell in the and. If he's inactive, Jeff Wilson Jr. would rank Cairo Santos Jersey as a low-end RB2 in this matchup, but San Francisco might opt to be more pa s-heavy.WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Saquon Barkley injury updateUPDATE:Barkley .Barkley (ankle) po sibly could've played in Week 9 before New York went on a bye, but the thought was they'd continue to rest him through their Week 10 bye. Now, New York Daily Newss Pat Leonard , so we expect him to be out there Monday night.However, this could be more of a split backfield than Barkley owners hope. Devontae Booker has played relatively well, and you'd have to think the Giants would like to ease Barkley back into action. That said, this week sees Barkley ranked as the and . Tampa Bay still has one of the best run-stuffing front sevens, and with the uncertainty around Barkley's workload, it's tough to rank him much higher, even though his ceiling is undoubtedly higher.WEEK 11 DFS LINEUPS: | | Latavius Murray injury updateUPDATE Chicago Bears Home Office :Murray is officially "questionable" for Week 11.Since Le'Veon Bell has been released by the Ravens and Murray (ankle), it seems like he'll take the field against Chicago. That said, we can't expect him to get the same workload he got before his injury, at least right away. Devonta Freeman has played well in his absence, so it's tough to know how this backfield will shake out.WEEK 11 DFS: | | We rank Murray as the and based on the uncertainty of his usage and a strong Chicago defensive front.
