Fantasy Football Week 6 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include C.J. Stroud, Derrick Henry, Terry McLaurin, Amari Cooper

The stars of today are the busts of tomorrow. That may be the theme of the week, as several high-profile fantasy football producers find themselves on the list for Week 6. There's a potential star of tomorrow that also landed on the list. Injuries are piling up as the one-third mark of the season approaches. […]

Darius Slayton Projects To Be A Non-Factor In Week 6

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton remains second on the team in targets for the 2023 season but hasn't put together one fantasy-worthy game so far. His catch rate sits at just 54 percent, resulting in 13 receptions for 167 yards through five games. There aren't any wide receivers on the Giants producing for […]

Darren Waller Questionable For Matchup Against Tough Buffalo Defense

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (groin) is questionable for Sunday night's matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran picked up two limited practices after sitting out on Wednesday. He claimed earlier in the week that the missed practice was planned and he expects to suit up this weekend. There are bigger injury issues […]

Wan’Dale Robinson Cleared For Week 6

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) has no official injury designation for Week 6, despite a pair of limited practices to end the week. The Giants have been cautious with Robinson's workload following his ACL tear last season and his practice designations reflect that. The second-year receiver is emerging as one of the […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Two undefeated teams (and one winless team) remain as Week 6 of the NFL season begins. It's not always that clear-cut, however. Some one-loss teams have looked shaky. A few teams with two losses or more are presumably better than their record shows. And, somehow, the Steelers are atop the AFC North. Each week of […]

Tyrod Taylor Getting The Start In Place Of Daniel Jones

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor will be under center on Sunday night with starter Daniel Jones (neck) ruled out. This will be the 34-year-old's first start since the 2021 season and it will come against one of his former teams, the Buffalo Bills. The Bills recently lost key pieces on their defense (linebacker Matt […]

Should I Drop Skyy Moore? Fantasy Football Outlook

Patrick Mahomes is a top-6 quarterback in fantasy football heading into Week 6. Only one Chiefs' wide receiver sits in the top 50 in scoring in PPR formats. Wideout play in Kansas City has been inconsistent, at best. Drops have been a problem but playing time is the biggest deterrent to finding gold in one […]

Should I Drop Dalvin Cook In Week 6? Fantasy Football Outlook

Breece Hall: Unleashed. It's the sequel to the highly acclaimed rookie season. Fans have been clamoring for a return to the world of Hall running rampant around and through defenders. After four weeks of NFL action, it finally debuted. Coach Robert Saleh announced that there weren't any more restrictions on Hall, who is ramping up […]

D'Wayne Eskridge Back At Practice Facility

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D'Wayne Eskridge was present at the Seattle practice facility on Wednesday. The 2021 second-round pick is in the midst of a six-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The Seahawks have already had their bye week, so Eskridge is required to sit out two more games. He is, however, […]

P.J. Walker To Be Elevated To Active Roster

Cleveland Browns quarterback P.J. Walker will be on the active roster on Sunday and could serve as the starter if Deshaun Watson (shoulder) can't suit up. Coach Kevin Stefanski already confirmed that Walker will be the next in line over rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson this week. Watson skipped Week 4 with his shoulder ailment and is […]

Salvon Ahmed Back In The Mix In The Miami Backfield

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (groin/coach's decision) is practicing in full this week as he prepares to make his return to the gameday roster. The fourth-year back missed time with a groin injury but was a healthy scratch in Week 5, largely due to the emergence of rookie De'Von Achane. Achane (knee) is now […]

Keaton Mitchell Logging More Full Practices In Return Effort

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (shoulder) is practicing in full as he prepares to possibly make his NFL debut. The undrafted rookie found himself on injured reserve to begin the season. His 21-day window was activated last week and he saw two full practices but ultimately did not get activated for game day. Mitchell […]

N'Keal Harry Activated To Active Roster

The Minnesota Vikings activated wide receiver N'Keal Harry to the active roster to replace Justin Jefferson (hamstring), who heads to injured reserve. The 2021 first-round draft pick didn't reach the end of his rookie contract with New England, had a cup of coffee with the Bears, and was cut by Minnesota prior to the preseason […]

Is Jeff Wilson Jr. A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 6? Waiver Wire Outlook

With all of the focus Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle receive from opposing defenses, the running game for Miami has become quite the revelation. Veteran Raheem Mostert started the party with three touchdowns in the first two games of the season. De’Von Achane joined the fiesta in Week 3 when the duo scored […]

KaVontae Turpin Forced From Sunday Night Football With Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and special teams ace KaVontae Turpin suffered an ankle injury during the team's loss to San Francisco and did not return. The speedster serves as the Cowboys' kick and punt returner but sees a handful of offensive snaps per game. In fact, Turpin caught his first career receiving touchdown (the Cowboys' […]

Optimism That Daniel Jones Avoids Major Injury

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) is believed to have suffered a neck contusion in the team's loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. He was sacked another six times and suffered the injury on the final tackle. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, there's optimism that the signal caller avoided a major injury […]

Anthony Richardson Could Miss A Month With Shoulder Injury

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 AC joint sprain. If an MRI confirms the diagnosis, the rookie could be out a month or more. A stint on injured reserve then becomes a legitimate option. The first-round pick exited the Colts contest against Tennessee in the second quarter […]

Matt Breida Draws Third Straight Start, Lacks Production

New York Giants running back Matt Breida logged a third straight start in Week 5 in place of starter Saquon Barkley (ankle) but was out-touched by rookie Eric Gray on Sunday. Breida ultimately ran the ball nine times for 21 yards and added one catch for three yards in the team's 31-16 loss to the […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Tallies Five Catches For Little Yardage

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson snagged five catches for only 18 yards in the team's 31-16 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also added one carry for one yard. Robinson was far more involved than fellow slot receiver Parris Campbell in the former's third game back from last season's ACL tear. Unfortunately, all […]

Eric Gray Logs First NFL Carries, Leads Giants In Rushing

New York Giants running back Eric Gray rushed the ball 12 times for 25 yards in the team's 31-16 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The rookie led the G-Men in both carries and rushing yards. He added one catch for one yard. Veteran Matt Breida started the game due to the absence of Saquon Barkley […]

Darren Waller Posts Season Highs In Receptions, Yards

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller put together his best performance of the season in the team's Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The former Pro Bowler caught eight of his 11 targets for 86 yards, all of which were his best marks of the season. The Giants' offensive issues continued on Sunday. […]

Fantasy Football Week 5 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dak Prescott, Najee Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, Calvin Ridley

A couple of weeks ago, a friend messaged and jokingly scolded me for listing half of his roster in my busts column. It wasn't a jab at him. We weren't even matched up that week. The busts were based on matchups and advanced metrics, and not overall performance on the season. Many fantasy managers are […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 5) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Week 5 of the NFL season has arrived and the contenders are starting to separate themselves from the pretenders. Week 5 also means that the first batch of teams get their week off. The Browns, Chargers, Buccaneers, and Seahawks will take their bye week. Each week of the NFL season, I’ll share my picks for […]

Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5: George Pickens, Zay Flowers, Dameon Pierce

Week 5 is almost upon us, and now that the dust has settled from the first four weeks, start/sit decisions from here on out can make or break your chances of winning your fantasy league. Today, we're taking a look at a pair of young wide receivers from the AFC North facing off against each […]

Giants DST Facing Impossible Task In Week 5

The New York Giants DST, already the worst fantasy football defense in the NFL, gets the task of slowing down the Miami Dolphins' offense in Week 5. The Dolphins lead the league with 37.5 points per game and boast three of the fastest players in the league. Just two weeks ago, Tua Tagovailoa and Co. […]

Darius Slayton Consistently On The Field, Not Catching Many Passes

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is routinely on the field, playing over 80% of the snaps in Weeks 2 through 4. However, the 26-year-old has only gathered 11 catches through four games and remains off of fantasy football radars. The Giants' Week 5 opponent, the Miami Dolphins, allows the 10th most fantasy points […]

Parris Campbell Seeing Decline In Snaps, Steady Target Numbers

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell is seeing his snap percentages decline with second-year receiver Wan'Dale Robinson returning to the field. Both wideouts often line up in the slot, and Robinson has proven to be more productive in this offense in his two appearances this season. Still, Campbell logged five targets while playing under […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Seeing Uptick In Snaps, Offers Long-Term Potential

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) saw his snap percentage jump from 22% in his season debut in Week 3 to 64% in Week 4. The second-year receiver led the Giants in targets against Seattle. He's becoming one of the favorite targets for quarterback Daniel Jones whenever he is in the game. Robinson […]

Darren Waller Searching For Breakout Game In Week 5

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller has recorded just three catches in three of his four games this season. His lone productive performance came in Week 2 when the Giants scored 31 points. In the other three games, they've totaled just 15 points. With a shaky offensive line and a lack of playmakers in […]

Daniel Jones Hard To Trust Despite Plus Matchup

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones draws a Miami defense allowing nearly 30 points per game but the signal caller hasn't given fantasy managers a reason to start him yet this season. The 26-year-old has tossed just two touchdowns on the year (plus one rushing touchdown) but those all came in the same game in […]
