Tyler Boyd Falls Below Expectations On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught six of his seven targets for 39 yards during Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. Unsurprisingly, Ja'Marr Chase led the way on the receiving end, catching 15 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns. Bu with Tee Higgins (ribs) out, most had assumed Boyd would pick up the […]

Trenton Irwin Has Eight Catches In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin had eight catches for 60 yards in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. Ja'Marr Chase accounted for 15 receptions for 192 yards and three touchdowns in Week 5.

Joe Mixon Can't Find The End Zone In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon ran the ball 25 times in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, finishing with 81 yards. He added four catches (four targets) for 13 yards.

Ja'Marr Chase Scores Three Times On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had an impressive showing in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The former LSU Tiger hadn't found the end zone entering Week 5. However, he made amends for his subpar play through the first four games by catching 15 of his 19 targets for 192 yards and three touchdowns, […]

Joe Burrow Turns It Around On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 317 yards, three touchdowns (all to Ja'Marr Chase), and one interception off 36-for-46 passing during the win over the Cardinals on Sunday. The signal-caller had thrown only two touchdowns entering Week 5, so many were starting to lose hope. But Burrow gave managers a reason to remain optimistic, […]

Chris Olave Had Toe Injury Entering Sunday's Win

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (toe) caught two of his five targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Patriots. While the 23-year-old is usually more productive, he at least found the end zone, so fantasy managers still got something from him in Week 5. There may be a […]

Mac Jones To Remain Starting Quarterback

According to Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, quarterback Mac Jones will remain the team's starter. The signal-caller was pulled from Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints after going 12-for-22 for 110 yards and two interceptions, opening the door for Bailey Zappe to take over for the second straight week. However, Zappe didn't play much […]

Justin Jefferson Questionable To Return In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The wideout had struggled before his premature exit because of a hamstring injury, catching only three of his six targets for 28 yards. Of course, fantasy managers will anxiously await an update. However, while Jefferson is […]

Travis Kelce Returns In Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) returned to Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings. He appeared to suffer a non-contact injury and limped to the locker room, so many had assumed the worst. Fortunately, Kelce did re-enter the contest with his ankle taped, although his production could be impacted for the remainder of […]

Travis Kelce Dealing With Ankle Injury

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Vikings. The veteran suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury and was visibly frustrated walking to the locker room. However, he has since made his way back to the sidelines with his ankle taped but has yet to return to the […]

Jameson Williams Has Two Catches In Return

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams caught two of his three targets for two yards during Sunday's win over Carolina. Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) and Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) didn't play, so most had assumed Williams would get more involved. However, Kalif Raymond, Josh Reynolds, and Sam LaPorta got most of the work on the receiving […]

Daniel Jones Undergoes X-ray

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) left Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins and did not return. Neck issues are never good for anyone. However, Jones' injury is increasingly concerning, considering he admitted it feels "similar" to the one he had in 2021. The 26-year-old signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Giants […]

Josh Reynolds Finds The End Zone In Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds had a team-high four catches for 76 yards during the victory over the Carolina Panthers. He also found the end zone off a one-yard pass from Jared Goff late in the second quarter. The Lions were without Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) and Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring), so targets were up […]

James Conner Questionable To Return Versus Bengals

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. The 28-year-old had a fantastic showing before his premature exit because of a knee injury, amassing 46 yards off six touches for an impressive 7.7 yards per carry. The Cards were already down Keaontay Ingram (neck) for […]

David Montgomery Finds The End Zone Again In Week 5

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery ran for 109 yards and a touchdown off 19 touches during Sunday's blowout win over the Panthers. He added two catches (six targets) for 20 yards. The former Bear amassed a season-high 5.7 yards per carry in this one, and he surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark for the second […]

Marcus Smart Dealing With Abdominal Soreness

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (abdomen) is dealing with abdominal soreness. Although the injury is described as "minor," the Grizzlies will play it safe, meaning the 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year could miss some or all of the team's preseason contests. Smart, who was traded to Memphis from Boston in June, has averaged 10.6 […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Suffers Strained Calf, Out Sunday

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) won't play in Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 34-year-old veteran had the best season of his career in 2022-23, averaging 21.6 points and 41.1% shooting from behind the arc. As a result, fantasy managers have elevated expectations for him heading into the season, regardless if he remains […]

Payton Pritchard Agrees To Extension With Celtics

According to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard agreed to a four-year, $30 million (fully guaranteed) extension with the team. The 25-year-old played a career-low 13.4 minutes last season and expressed displeasure regarding his role. As a result, he sought a trade heading into the summer. However, with Grant Williams, […]

James Harden Out Versus Boston

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason meeting with the Celtics. Under normal circumstances, nobody would give much thought to someone missing an exhibition. However, the multi-time All-Star remains hopeful he'll be traded, specifically to the Clippers, meaning he could miss all of Philadelphia's preseason contests ahead of the regular season, […]

Joel Embiid Resting For Preseason Opener

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't suit up in Sunday's preseason opener against Boston. As expected, the Sixers will play safe with the reigning MVP, considering the team will need him healthy through the regular season and into the playoffs. Philly has three exhibition games left before beginning the 2023-24 campaign with a Thursday […]

Saquon Barkley Unlikely To Return Against Miami

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) isn't expected to return for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins. The 26-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and has been working his way back since. He was officially listed as questionable after logging limited practice sessions throughout the week. […]

Marlon Humphrey Expected To Play In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) is expected to make his season debut in Sunday's AFC North showdown with the Steelers. The Pro Bowler suffered a foot injury and underwent surgery in August, costing him the first four games of the 2023-24 campaign. He has been a potent defensive option for Baltimore since entering the […]

Aaron Jones Officially Questionable For Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) carries a questionable tag ahead of Monday's matchup with the Raiders. The 28-year-old began the season by scoring twice against the Chicago Bears. However, he's been bothered by a hamstring issue for much of the season, most recently logging 18 yards off five touches in the Week […]

Von Miller Activated Off PUP List

Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Jaguars in London. The 34-year-old has appeared in 162 games throughout his career, totaling 560 tackles, 123.5 sacks, 27 forced fumbles, and two interceptions. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL during the 2022 Thanksgiving […]

Davante Adams Questionable For Monday Night Football

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Packers. The wideout injured his shoulder during the Week 4 matchup versus the Chargers and missed practice on Thursday and Friday. Fortunately, he logged a limited session on Saturday, meaning there's a chance he'll be out there against his former […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Likely Out Versus Carolina

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) isn't expected to play in Sunday's matchup with the Panthers. Fantasy managers had an idea this was coming, considering the star wideout didn't practice throughout the week because of an abdomen issue. Fortunately, Josh Reynolds (groin) logged a full practice session on […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Not Expected To Suit Up On Sunday

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) is not expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. The rookie ended up on the injury report on Friday because of a hamstring issue, so now fantasy managers are left wondering if he'll miss more time beyond Week 5. At any […]

Kenyan Drake Activated For Week 5

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's AFC North showdown against the Steelers. Keaton Mitchell (shoulder) isn't ready to play, and Melvin Gordon III will remain on the practice squad, so a roster spot was up for grabs. However, with Gus Edwards available, Drake probably won't get […]
