DeAndre Hopkins - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins scored three touchdowns during the first two weeks of the 2021 campaign. However, the 29-year-old has struggled since then, combining by pulling in just seven of his 15 targets while recording only 88 yards against the Jaguars and Rams in Weeks 3 and 4. Nonetheless, Hopkins is too good […]

Kyler Murray - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is arguably the favorite to be named this season's MVP award winner. Although the 24-year-old is always a threat in all areas of the game, he may be tasked with serving as the unofficial running back in Week 5, mainly if Chase Edmonds (shoulder) and the red-hot James Conner (personal) […]

Tyler Conklin - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin continues to do his best to fill in for Irv Smith Jr. (knee), who remains out with a torn meniscus. The 26-year-old entered Week 4 against Cleveland fresh off a seven-catch, 70-yard performance against the Seahawks, where he also scored a touchdown. However, Conklin cooled off against the Browns […]

Alexander Mattison - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison's fantasy outlook remains contingent on the status of Dalvin Cook (ankle) heading into Week 5. Cook remains a game-time call against the Lions. However, if he doesn't play, Mattison will automatically be an attractive fantasy target in nearly every format, including DFS contests. While filling in the Cook in […]

Adam Thielen - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen failed to score a touchdown during the Week 4 loss to the Browns, snapping a three-game streak with at least one trip to the end zone. However, the veteran has a fantastic chance to get back on track against the Lions on Sunday. While the 31-year-old is at the […]

Justin Jefferson - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson looks to keep his fantastic season going during the Week 5 matchup against Detroit. The 22-year-old wideout has been red-hot during the 2021 campaign, accruing at least nine targets in three of his four appearances on the year. The sophomore will also enter Sunday's contest riding a three-game touchdown […]

Kirk Cousins Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has all the makings to finish as a top option at the position in Week 5. Cousins has flown under the radar this season, for the most part, doing so despite stringing together some potent fantasy performances. The 33-year-old is currently in the midst of one of the best campaigns […]

Danny Amendola Will Suit Up On Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) will be active for the Week 5 matchup against New England. The veteran sustained a thigh injury in Week 2 and hasn't seen the field since. However, after returning to practice during the week, albeit limitedly, he is healthy enough to go against the Patriots. Still, it's apparent […]

Dillon Brooks Out Against Visiting Bucks

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (thigh) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the defending champs. Brooks is dealing with thigh soreness, so the team will take the cautious approach and hold him out. He should be ready to go to begin the 2021 campaign. However, at least against the Bucks, Desmond Bane will […]

Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton Won't Play Against Grizzlies

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (knee) and forward Khris Middleton (hamstring) won't play during the preseason outing against Memphis. Both men are expected to be ready in time to begin the regular season. However, in the meantime, they will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Bobby Portis (hamstring) as those who are out against the Grizzlies. […]

Rui Hachimura Has Yet To Report For Camp

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) won't play during Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Houston Rockets. In fact, Hachimura hasn't reported to camp either as he continues to remain away from the team due to undisclosed personal issues. The 23-year-old averaged 13.8 points and 5.5 boards throughout his first two years in the league but […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Out On Tuesday Evening

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) won't appear during the exhibition matchup against the Grizzlies. The Freak didn't travel to Memphis with the rest of the team as he continues to deal with lingering left knee soreness caused by a hyperextension sustained during the playoffs. With a shortened preseason, it's unlikely that the former MVP […]

Ja Morant Starting In Tuesday's Preseason Outing

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will start during Tuesday's matchup against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks. To round out the rest of the group, De'Anthony Melton, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Steven Adams, who will be making his unofficial debut with the team, will join him. Despite the likelihood that they will all face a […]

Darius Garland, Collin Sexton Starting On Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Collin Sexton and Darius Garland will start during the preseason matchup against the Chicago Bulls. In addition, Isaac Okoro, Jarrett Allen, and the debuting Evan Mobley, who was selected third overall in the 2021 NBA Draft, will join them. Still, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff plans to give minutes to all available players […]

Nikola Jokic Out For Monday's Exhibition

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) won't suit up for Monday's preseason matchup against the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers. Joker remains away for personal reasons. However, he is expected to return to the team soon to begin practicing. In addition, Will Barton (ankle) is questionable, although he appears to be trending more toward out. In […]

Tobias Harris To Miss Preseason Opener

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) won't be available for the preseason showdown in Toronto against the Raptors. The veteran is dealing with right knee soreness, although at the moment, it isn't anything that will force him to miss the start of the regular season. Philly will also be without Joel Embiid (rest) and Ben […]

Ben Simmons Remains Away From The Team

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (personal) won't play during the preseason opener against the Raptors. Simmons remains away from the team as a potential trade to another organization could be in the works. Still, team officials continue to hold out hope that he will return to Philly for the 2021 campaign. However, until that happens, […]

Zion Williamson Not In The Lineup Against Minnesota

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is out on Monday evening against Minnesota, as expected. Williamson had surgery to repair a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during the offseason. However, despite recently being spotted doing one-on-one work at practice, he is still in danger of not being ready for the […]

Clint Capela Sitting Against Miami

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) won't play on Monday evening against the Heat. The 27-year-old is in danger of missing the start of the regular season as he continues to work his way back from a chronic Achilles issue. A week ago, he received a platelet-rich plasma injection. Still, the team will remain cautious […]

Khem Birch, Gary Trent Jr. Won't Play Against Philly

Toronto Raptors center Khem Birch and guard Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) won't be in the lineup on Monday for the preseason opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. Birch remains away from the team while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19, while Trent has been plagued by lingering soreness in his left quad. […]

Joel Embiid Resting On Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason matchup in Toronto. It's hardly surprising, mainly since he suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee during the team's postseason matchup against the Washington Wizards only a few months ago. Fortunately, Embiid didn't need surgery, but logically, holding him out for a meaningless […]

Chris Boucher Out For The Preseason Opener

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (finger) won't suit up for the preseason opener against the visiting 76ers. The big man dislocated his left middle finger, so the team will give him the night off and likely a few others heading toward the regular season while he recovers. Pascal Siakam (shoulder) is also rehabbing from surgery, […]

Le'Veon Bell Makes An Uneventful Season Debut

Baltimore Ravens running back Le'Veon Bell, who was recently promoted from the practice squad, finished with four carries for 11 yards during the win over the Broncos on Sunday. He also failed to bring in his lone target of the contest. Although Bell realistically wasn't expected to do much in this one, it's was still […]

Lamar Jackson Slings His Way To The Win In Week 4

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) was able to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Denver Broncos. He finished with a season-high 316 passing yards, and he connected with Marquise Brown on a 49-yard pass in the second quarter for his only touchdown toss of the afternoon. The 24-year-old former MVP had just 28 […]

Rondale Moore Doesn't Rebound In Week 4

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore finished with three catches for 28 yards during the win over the Rams on Sunday. After racking up just two receptions for one yard in Week 3, Moore's Week 4 performance was better, although it was still a far cry from what he produced during the first two weeks […]

Maxx Williams Has A Day In Week 4

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams showed up to play during the Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, compiling five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. After not doing much of anything during the first week of the year, the 27-year-old veteran now has 15 receptions for 179 yards and a score […]

A.J. Green Continues To Produce In Week 4

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green led his team in receiving during the win over the Rams on Sunday, finishing with five catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. After it was believed that the veteran's best days were behind him, he now has 13 catches for 223 yards over the last three weeks, as […]

DeAndre Hopkins Plays Better In Week 4

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) was able to suit up during the win over the Rams on Sunday, and he finished with four catches for 67 yards. The veteran led the team in targets (seven), and although he wasn't able to find the end zone, it was still a step in the right […]

Chase Edmonds Leads The Cards Rushing Attack In Win

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds finished with 120 yards off 12 carries during the win over the Rams in Week 4. He also added four catches for 19 yards. This was Edmonds' best performance of the year so far, at least on the ground, although his rushing output was inflated, thanks to a long […]

James Conner Has Another Multi-Touchdown Performance

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner had another multi-score outing, finishing with 50 yards and two touchdowns off 18 carries during the win over the Rams on Sunday. He also added two catches for 16 yards. That's four trips to the end zone over the last two weeks for the former Pittsburgh Steeler, and it […]
