Buccaneers at Cowboys: Which Thursday Night Props Hold Up?

Five plays, one Thursday night game, to give you the edge

TNF: Buccaneers at Cowboys, the Thursday Start/Sit Call

Baker Mayfield is out and a rookie takes the snaps in Arlington. Dallas gets its left guard back on the same night. Here is who that actually moves.

Lamar Jackson's Ankle Sprain Puts Week 5 Lineups on the Clock

Jackson is rostered in 99.8% of ESPN leagues and could miss multiple games. Tyler Huntley is the obvious pickup if he sits, but his scoreless relief stint against Tennessee shows why he isn't a clean fantasy replacement.

Week 5 Hot & Cold

Real usage, not box-score noise: who the Week 4 snap counts actually promoted, and who they quietly buried.

Week 4 Start/Sit: By Game, No Studs, Just the Hard Calls

Six games made the sheet. A Questionable hamstring the team itself managed, a game-time rib call with a custom pad built for it, and a crowded scramble for scraps behind Minnesota's reshuffled receiver room. Updated Sunday morning: Flowers, Mariota, and the Bears' QB change.

Week 4 Injury Report: The Final Word, Plus Tuesday's Grades

Justin Jefferson is out, Puka Nacua is back, and San Francisco's Mike Evans is strapping his ribs into a padded shirt. Plus: Tuesday's fourteen calls, graded against the real Friday/Saturday designations, no rounding in our favor. Updated Sunday morning with Zay Flowers, Terry McLaurin, Caleb Williams, and the weather.

The ZeroChalk O-Line Score (beta): Week 4 Outlook

We built our own grading model from free, public data instead of renting someone else's grades. It does not beat a coin flip on every metric yet, and we are telling you that up front. Here is what it says about all 32 lines heading into Week 4.

Week 4 Hot & Cold: Achane's ACL Hands Ollie Gordon the Whole Damn Backfield

Achane's ACL hands Ollie Gordon a backfield, Brock Bowers and Tyler Higbee turn snap counts into real roles, and three names on the wire are running out of runway.

After the Third Carry: What Miami Lost and What Ollie Gordon Inherits

De'Von Achane's season ended on his third carry Sunday. Three weeks of workload data show exactly what Ollie Gordon inherits, and what he doesn't.

Week 4 Waiver Wire: Achane's ACL Hands Miami to Ollie Gordon II, and Tampa Hands the Keys to a Rookie

Achane is done for the season, Mayfield is out three weeks, and Breece Hall is week to week. Here's who to pay, how much of your budget to burn, and who to cut.

Season Rankings Update: Achane's Knee, Kyren's Workload, and the London Quarterback Problem

Week 4 Injury Predictions: The Tuesday First Call, O-Line Edition

Fourteen Tuesday-morning calls on who plays and who sits before Friday's official word, with four offensive-line situations in Baltimore, San Francisco, Washington, and Cleveland that change the math for the backs and quarterbacks behind them.

Week 4 CFB Props: The Slot Nobody's Betting, and Two Carries Markets the Book Just Moved

Three plays, all in the 3:30 p.m. ET window or later, re-checked live at 1:30 p.m. today because two of the three lines had already moved since this morning. One pick from this morning got cut because its game already kicked off. Informational only. Not betting advice.

Week 3 Start/Sit: The Bowers Gamble and Who Inherits the Targets

Twenty debatable calls for Sunday and Monday's Week 3 slate. No CMC, no Chase, no Gibbs. Injury designations are Saturday's final reports. Confirm inactives before lock.

Week 3 Props: Schultz's Catch Count, Ferguson's Role, and Warren's Widening Target Tree

Three tight-end role plays for Sunday, all reconfirmed live this afternoon: two of the three prices moved since this morning, and one number on our watch list from earlier today couldn't be found where we had it, so we're saying that instead of printing it anyway. Informational only. Not betting advice.

The Falcons Are Locks, Caleb Williams Is Out, and Jaxson Dart Is Cut

Drake London's target share survived a quarterback change, Caleb Williams won't play Monday, and it's time to move on from Jaxson Dart. Three separate quarterback situations decide this week's list.

All 120 board players ranked by Week 4 expected fantasy points — full-PPR and standard — from Sleeper/rotowire per-week projections. Overall tiers plus QB, RB, WR, and TE boards.

Week 3 Waiver Wire: Bowers Is a Gametime Call, Moore's Targets Are Open, and Your Room Hasn't Moved Yet

One clean role-change lean up top, then a fast pass through all 14 Sunday games for where the injuries move a prop. Direction and reasoning; confirm the posted line before you act.

My Bets: A Real Record, Posted Win or Lose

I place a few small bets a week and post every one here, results and all. Two weeks in I'm 6-0, which on short-priced favorites means almost nothing yet. The point is the method and the honesty, not the streak.

Saturday CFB Props: The Chalk Board Goes to College

Week 1 Waiver Wire: Buy the Opportunity, Not the Name (2026)

One backfield is down to a single healthy body, a passing-down back is about to eat a full game of negative script, and half the adds worth making are on the wire because nobody read past the depth chart's top line.

Week 1 Start/Sit: Sit the Knee, Start the Role

The draft room fell in love in June. The practice reports filed for divorce in August. Here's the gap — matchup and role over name and hype.
