Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton had a game-high 29 points in Friday's win over Atlanta. He added five boards, two steals, and a block.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Cameron Payne (thigh) won't return to Friday's preseason matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. He logged only five minutes before exiting due to a thigh contusion, scoring two points.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught all seven targets from Joe Burrow for 38 yards in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. He also had a touchdown, his first of the 2023-24 campaign.

Joe Mixon Posts Another Dud In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon ran for a season-low 38 yards off 12 carries in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. He added three catches for 24 yards. Despite having a favorable outlook entering Week 6, the former Oklahoma Sooner had another uninspiring fantasy showing. He still hasn't surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark, and his […]

Joe Burrow Leads Cincinnati To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow finished with 185 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception off 24-for-35 passing in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. He added two carries for four yards.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) will undergo an MRI. The signal-caller dislocated his thumb during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings and couldn't grip the ball.

Kyren Williams "Gonna Be Good", Injury Not A Big Concern

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (ankle) had a big game for fantasy managers and finished with 158 yards and a touchdown off 20 carries in Sunday's blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old sustained an ankle injury during the game, so there's some concern regarding his health. Fortunately head coach Sean McVay […]

Darren Waller Active Versus Buffalo

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (groin) will suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Bills. There were concerns about Waller's availability, considering he missed practice on Wednesday and was limited the following two sessions throughout the week. The 31-year-old hasn't been as productive as most had expected through five games in New York, […]

Gary Brightwell Active On Sunday Night

New York Giants running back Gary Brightwell (ankle) is active for Sunday night's meeting with Buffalo. He carried a questionable tag heading into this one. However, with Saquon Barkley (ankle) set to return and Matt Breida available, Brightwell won't offer much, if anything, to fantasy managers.

Saquon Barkley Officially Active In Week 6

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) will return on Sunday night against the Bills. Barkley missed the last three games because of a high-ankle sprain. There was a shot for him to return in Week 5, so most fantasy managers had assumed he'd be back for this one. That said, Barkley is a […]

Dalton Kincaid Won't Suit Up Against The Giants

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (concussion) isn't available for Sunday's contest against the New York Giants. The rookie was limited in practice throughout the week. However, now that Kincaid is ruled out, the door is open for Dawson Knox (wrist) to get more attention from Josh Allen against a struggling Giants defense.

Dawson Knox Active In Week 6

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (wrist) is officially active for Sunday Night Football against the Giants. Knox was questionable after practicing in a limited capacity during the week, although he had been trending toward playing.

Saquon Barkley Plans To Play On Sunday Night

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) plans to play on Sunday night against the Bills, barring any setbacks during warmups. He's missed the last three games because of a high-ankle sprain, allowing Matt Breida to be the No. 1 guy on the depth chart. With that said, even if Barkley is limited, which […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Returns In Week 6

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (head, ankle) returned to Sunday's matchup against the Raiders. He exited earlier in the contest with head and ankle injuries, allowing Ezekiel Elliott to get extra work.

However, head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that McCaffrey also has a rib injury. Fortunately, the 49ers don't play until Monday night in Week 7 […]

David Montgomery Won't Return In Week 6

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (ribs) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. X-rays were negative, so that's a good sign. However, the injury will keep him off the field for the rest of Week 6. Montgomery is one of the best backs in the NFL this season, so fantasy managers […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Questionable To Return Sunday

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (head, ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Las Vegas. Stevenson would finish with six carries for 30 yards and two catches if he doesn't make it back. If that's the case, Ezekiel Elliott will handle most of the snaps out of the backfield for the […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Doubtful To Return On Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) is doubtful to return to Sunday's meeting with the Patriots, his former team. If the oft-injured signal-caller doesn't return, he'll finish this one with 162 yards off 14-for-22 passing while throwing one touchdown and one interception. Brian Hoyer is now in under center, although nobody knows who will […]

Trent Williams Wearing A Boot After Loss To Cleveland

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (ankle) needed a walking boot after Sunday's loss to Cleveland.
