Joe Mixon Just A Flex Option In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon hasn't had a terrible season through five weeks. On the other hand, the former Oklahoma Sooner has been far from impressive. He's carried the ball 84 times, amassing 328 yards for a subpar 3.9 yards per carry. Even worse, Mixon has just one touchdown and hasn't surpassed the 100-yard […]

Joe Burrow Hopes For Duplicate Outing In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was quiet through the first four weeks of the 2023-24 campaign. During that span, the signal-caller threw two touchdowns, although both occurred in Week 2 against Baltimore. Unquestionably, Burrow's calf injury suffered during training camp limited his production. However, he finally got it together in the Week 5 win over […]

Thomas Bryant Disappears On Friday

Miami Heat center Thomas Bryant scored four points in Friday's loss to the Spurs. He added five rebounds and turned the ball over three times. The 26-year-old narrowly missed a double-double in the exhibition with Charlotte on Tuesday night. However, he cooled off in this one. Nevertheless, the 2017 second-round pick should see routine playing […]

Jeremy Sochan Starts At Point Guard On Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan started at point guard in Friday's preseason win over Miami. He played well, finishing with 10 points off 4-for-10 shooting from the field, adding six rebounds, three assists, and a steal. The 20-year-old completed his rookie season by averaging 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 53 games. […]

Duncan Robinson Scores 14 Points In Preseason Play

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson finished with 14 points in Friday's preseason loss to San Antonio. He went 4-for-9 from the field and 3-for-8 from deep, adding five assists and a steal. Robinson signed a five-year, $90 million extension in August 2021 to remain in Miami. However, the 29-year-old averaged only 6.4 points and shot […]

Jamal Cain Leads All Scorers In Loss To Spurs

Miami Heat forward Jamal Cain had a double-double in Friday's preseason loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Cain recorded a game-high 24 points, going 9-for-14 from the field and an efficient 6-for-8 from deep, adding 10 rebounds and an assist. The 24-year-old spent most of the 2022-23 campaign in the G League, but appeared in […]

Tre Jones Plays Well Off The Bench On Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones came off the bench in Friday's preseason meeting with the Heat. He played well, going 4-for-6 from the field, adding five assists and four steals. The 23-year-old started 65 games last season and averaged 12.9 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.3 steals. Unfortunately, Jones isn't a lock to remain in […]

Devin Vassell Shines On Friday Night

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell played well in Friday's preseason win over Miami. The 2020 No. 11 overall pick logged 22 minutes and finished with 21 points, two points behind Victor Wembanyama, who had a team-high 23. Vassell also had three assists, one steal, and one block. But most impressively, he went 6-for-7 from […]

Victor Wembanyama Has Another Impressive Showing

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama finished with a team-high 23 points in Friday's preseason victory over the Miami Heat. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick was efficient from the field, going 10-for-15, while adding four rebounds and three blocks. Wembanyama has scored at least 20 points in his first two exhibitions, so fantasy managers […]

Aaron Rodgers Sheds Crutches

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) was recently observed walking without crutches. The veteran signal-caller tore his Achilles during the Week 1 AFC East meeting with the Buffalo Bills and was expected to miss the season. However, after having a "Speed Bridge" procedure to repair the tear, Rodgers has remained optimistic about returning in […]

Frank Clark Might Return To Kansas City

Free-agent defensive end Frank Clark can sign with a new team as of Saturday. The veteran, who inked a deal with the Broncos this offseason, appeared in just two games for the franchise, totaling two tackles. Without a doubt, his short-lived tenure in Denver wasn't a success. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Clark returning […]

Elijah Mitchell Trending Toward Playing In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) appears on track to return on Sunday against the Browns. He sat out a few games because of a knee injury. But head coach Kyle Shanahan seemed optimistic the 25-year-old would be back by indicating he was a "full-go" in practice on Friday. For now, Mitchell officially […]

Justin Watson Could Return "Sooner Rather Than Later"

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson (elbow) "should be back sooner rather than later" after an MRI revealed "no significant damage." The wideout didn't return to Thursday's win over the Denver Broncos because of a dislocated elbow and is anticipated to miss a few weeks. But Watson has […]

Fantasy Basketball ADP Smashers 2023 - Points Leagues

There aren't many things fantasy managers can agree on entering each NBA season. However, Nikola Jokic is widely considered the best basketball player on the planet, meaning he remains No. 1 overall in preseason ADP rankings in both category and point leagues. But more than a few players, specifically Luka Doncic and Joel Embiid, are […]

Fantasy Basketball ADP Smashers - Category Leagues (Premium Content)

There aren't many things fantasy managers can agree on entering each NBA season. However, Nikola Jokic is widely considered the best basketball player on the planet, meaning he remains No. 1 overall in preseason ADP rankings in both category and point leagues. But more than a few players, specifically Luka Doncic and Joel Embiid, are […]

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. However, Irwin took advantage of Tee Higgins' (ribs) absence, although he couldn't bring in a pass from Joe Burrow that might […]

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. The 27-year-old had only one touchdown entering Week 5, so fantasy managers had hoped he would find the end zone versus an Arizona defense that's […]

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 […]
