Davante Adams Unlikely To Play In Week 6

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is unlikely to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The hamstring issue may be more of an excuse at this point to keep Adams off the field while the Raiders search for a trade partner. A report earlier this week stated that Adams […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Could Be More Effective Through The Air In Week 6

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has failed to catch a pass in the last two games (although he did get 20 yards and a receiving touchdown on a lateral in Week 3). It's the first time in his young career that he's failed to log a reception in back-to-back games. Thankfully for fantasy football, […]

David Montgomery Ranked As A Top-12 Option In Week 6

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery looks to continue his scoring ways against the Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 6.

The Cowboys have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points […]

Shaq Lawson Signs With Carolina

Free agent pass rusher Shaq Lawson has signed with the Carolina Panthers. The veteran visited the team on Tuesday and left with a new contract. It's Lawson's first time out of the AFC East.

Dante Pettis Works Out For The Cowboys

Free-agent wide receiver Dante Pettis visited the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday with the hopes of landing a new contract. Former Jet Denzel Mims also tried out for Dallas. The Cowboys are looking to bolster their wide receiver depth with Brandin Cooks (knee) on Injured Reserve and set to miss at least three more games. Pettis […]

Fred Warner Limited In Tuesday's Walk-Through Practice

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner (ankle) was designated a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice. The 49ers travel to Seattle for Thursday Night Football and haven't held a full practice this week. Warner practiced just once last week, and he dealt with this same ankle injury and still played. The expectation is that Warner […]

Dalton Kincaid Misses Several Targets, Underwhelms Against Houston

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught two passes for 34 yards in the team's 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Kincaid tied with Mack Hollins for the team lead in targets. He had a sideline catch that the refs called incomplete that could have been reviewed and just missed on a couple […]

Keon Coleman Catches One Pass, Scores A Touchdown

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught one of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans. The rookie secured a reception on a curl route, broke a tackle, and sprinted into the endzone in the third quarter to pull the Bills within three points. Coleman […]

James Cook Finds Success On The Ground Versus Houston

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed the football 20 times for 82 yards and a touchdown in the team's last-second loss to the Houston Texans. The Bills leaned on Cook as the passing offense struggled. Josh Allen completed just nine of his 30 passes. Cook's five-yard touchdown plunge midway through the third quarter was […]

Josh Allen Struggles Through The Air Against Houston

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 pass attempts for 131 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans. He added 54 yards on the ground on four carries. The rushing yardage helped salvage a disappointing day that saw the Buffalo offense struggle. Allen nearly hit tight […]

Week 5 Fantasy Football Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Zay Flowers, Rico Dowdle, Chase Brown

Week 5 brings bye weeks into the mix to muck up fantasy football lineups. The Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles take their mini-vacation this week. That's unfortunate for the game we love, as both pass defenses are well below average and easy targets for start/sit decisions. At least the league's top pass defense (Tennessee) is […]

Jalen Nailor - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6 ANALYSIS: Jalen Nailor's touchdown streak is over. The 2022 sixth-round pick found paydirt in each of the first three games this season. In Week 4, he caught one pass for 31 yards. Nailor's fantasy relevance is dependent on the health of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. […]

Jordan Whittington - Week 5 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

BALLER MOVE: Consider In 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp remain out of the Rams' lineup, but fantasy football opportunities are there to be unearthed in Los Angeles. Los Angeles has moved on from the Tyler Johnson experiment. In Week 4, Jordan Whittington earned his first career start. He, […]

Fantasy Football WR Injury Reports: Week 5 Updates For Davante Adams, Malik Nabers, Khalil Shakir, more

Fantasy football's number-one receiver will sit out this week, a veteran is pushing his way to another team, and the injury for an emerging wideout is still a mystery. Other than that, it's a relatively quiet wide receiver injury report for the week. To keep close tabs on all of the news across the NFL, […]

Is Christian Watson Injured or Playing In Week 5? Should I Start Dontayvion Wicks For Fantasy Football?

The Green Bay Packers entered the 2024 season with arguably the deepest wide receiver room in the league. That depth will be tested on Sunday. Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs appeared on the team's injury report this week. That's two of Green Bay's three starting wide receivers. Below, we dive into the chances of Watson […]

Buffalo Bills D/ST Not A Starting Option Against Houston

The Buffalo Bills defense/special teams draws the Houston Texans in Week 5. The Texans are averaging a shade under 20 points per game, and their offense has taken a step back with Joe Mixon (ankle) sidelined. He's trending toward missing another game, which should slow down the Houston offense. However, Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs […]

Ray Davis Still A High-Upside Bench Stash

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis remains one of the best running back bench stashes across the league as the NFL enters Week 5. Under offensive coordinator Joe Brady, the Bills lean on James Cook and the running game. The rookie has been called upon to spell Cook on early downs. Veteran Ty Johnson would […]

Curtis Samuel Could See More Usage In Week 5

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel has played the fewest snaps of any Buffalo wide receiver this season but that could change in Week 5. Khalil Shakir (ankle) is in danger of missing the contest. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady stated to the media that he wants Samuel to be on the field more often. The […]

Dalton Kincaid Remains A TE1 In Week 5

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is the TE7 on the season, despite an up-and-down campaign so far. Kincaid hasn't topped 50 yards in any game and has only finished as a TE1 once. Fantasy managers can trust Kincaid's floor, especially given the state of the tight-end landscape. Josh Allen should throw the ball more […]

Keon Coleman Could Become De-Facto WR1 Against Houston

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman could be called upon more often against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Top wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday and is at risk of missing the game. If he does, Coleman and Dalton Kincaid should see a target bump. Still, it would be […]

James Cook In The RB1 Range In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook suffered through the worst fantasy performance of his season in Week 4 but should bounce back against the Houston Texans. Cook was removed from the game due to a negative game script against the Ravens. He logged just 10 touches for under 50 yards. The game script on Sunday […]

Josh Allen Keeps QB1 Status Against Houston

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has ping-ponged between being the top fantasy football quarterback and an unstartable asset (QB28) over the past four weeks. Blowouts have been to blame. The Bills won two games by an average of 29 points and then lost in Week 4 by 25. A (hopefully) more competitive tilt against the […]

Fantasy Football WR Injury Reports: Week 5 Updates For Rashee Rice, Malik Nabers, Christian Watson, more

Status ambiguity for some big-name wide receivers as we arrive at the first bye weeks of the 2024 season.

Should I Drop Carson Steele? Fantasy Football Outlook

A messy backfield could get messier soon. When Isiah Pacheco suffered a fractured fibula late in Week 2, undrafted rookie running back Carson Steele was the favorite to take over early-down rush attempts. Veteran Samaje Perine would command third-down work. And that was the case in Week 3! Steele ran 17 times against the Falcons, […]

Week 5 NFL Power Rankings: Ravens and Commanders Rise, Saints and Jets Fall

Dalton Kincaid Catches Five Passes Against The Ravens

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught five passes for 47 yards in the blowout loss to the Ravens on Sunday Night Football.
