Kadarius Toney Ejected Against Cowboys

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney was booted from Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. With the game out of hand, tempers flared, resulting in a subsequent ejection for the rookie after throwing a punch during a post-play scuffle. Before his early exit, Toney was having a career outing and stepped up after Daniel […]

Adam Thielen Disappears Against Detroit

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen disappeared on Sunday, finishing with only two catches for 40 yards during the win over the Lions. The veteran undoubtedly had his worst game of the season, and his three targets didn't do him any favors either. With Justin Jefferson and Alexander Mattison being the focal points of the […]

Justin Jefferson Leads The Way Against Lions

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson led his team in receiving in Week 5, finishing with seven catches for 124 yards during the last-second victory over the Detroit Lions. He didn't score a touchdown, though. Still, fantasy managers should continue to be encouraged by his statistical output this season. The former LSU Tiger has now […]

Alexander Mattison Fills In Admirably On Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison filled in admirably for the injured Dalvin Cook (ankle) during Sunday's narrow win over the Lions. The 23-year-old was all over the place in Week 5, compiling 113 yards off 25 carries. He also caught seven passes for 40 yards, with one of those receptions resulting in a trip […]

Daniel Jones Out For The Remainder Of Week 5

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys. The 24-year-old took a nasty shot inside the red zone during the divisional showdown, and he was subsequently assisted back to the locker room. Before succumbing to the injury, Jones threw 98 yards on 5-for-13 […]

Kenny Golladay Out For The Remainder Of Week 5

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys. It isn't good news for the team, mainly since Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Daniel Jones (concussion) both sustained injuries as well during the game. Darius Slayton (hamstring) and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) also […]

Kirk Cousins Plays Well Enough In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 275 yards and a touchdown on 25-for-34 passing during the win over the Lions on Sunday afternoon. He also threw a pick. However, he still finished with a 73 percent completion percentage. Fantasy managers were hoping for more heading into this one. Still, it was the type of […]

Maxx Williams Carted Off The Field In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams (leg) exited the Week 5 matchup against the 49ers. While getting tackled in the second quarter, the 27-year-old took a nasty hit to the right leg and was subsequently carted off the field. Williams was entering the contest fresh off a five-catch, 66-yard performance against the Rams in Week […]

Daniel Jones Exits Week 5 With An Injury

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (undisclosed) exited Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys. Jones took a hit late in the second quarter while inside the red zone and sustained an unknown injury. He was assisted back to the locker room for further evaluation, with an update likely to come shortly. In the meantime, Mike Glennon […]

T.J. Hockenson Will Be In The Lineup Against Vikings

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is officially good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings. Things weren't looking promising for the 24-year-old, and after the team elevated Shane Zylstra from the practice squad on Saturday, fantasy managers were expecting the worst. However, it appears as if he is healthy enough to suit […]

D'Andre Swift Officially Active Against Minnesota

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is good to go for the Week 5 divisional showdown against Minnesota. The sophomore has been dealing with a nagging groin issue since the preseason but has continuously been able to play through it, so his status against the Vikings shouldn't come as a surprise. Nonetheless, it will […]

Jamaal Williams Officially Good To Go In Week 5

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (hip) will play during the Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran has been dealing with a hip issue but was still able to practice throughout the week, although it was in a limited capacity. Nonetheless, despite D'Andre Swift (groin) also getting the green light, Williams still […]

Dalvin Cook Downgraded To Out Against Detroit

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) will not play during the Week 5 matchup against Detroit. The 26-year-old has been dealing with a nagging ankle issue for weeks now, and he didn't play in Week 3. He managed to suit up in Week 4, although it was in a limited capacity. Nonetheless, without Cook […]

Devante Parker Out Against Bucs

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against the Buccaneers. Parker has been dealing with a nagging hamstring issue and had originally planned to test things out before kickoff. However, the team will now be without another wideout, as Will Fuller V (finger) won't see the field either after recently landing […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Returns To London Matchup

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (concussion) has been cleared to return to the Week 5 London showdown against the New York Jets. The 30-year-old was observed on the sidelines and inside the blue medical tent, being evaluated for a concussion, so it's good news to see him back out there, mainly since the team […]

Russell Wilson Targeting Week 10 Return

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) is hoping to return for the Week 10 matchup against Green Bay. Although this would be the best scenario possible, mainly since he had three pins inserted into his middle finger, fantasy managers should come to terms with the idea that he could be out longer. The veteran sustained […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 5 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 4 is in the books, and it ended with a Monday Night Football trouncing of the Las Vegas Raiders, courtesy of the Los Angeles Chargers. Of course, we can't move ahead without taking a moment to recognize some of the standouts of the week, with Tyreek Hill exploding for three scores and nearly 200 […]

Gary Payton II Will Be Available On Tuesday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (hernia) practiced on Saturday and will be available to play during the upcoming preseason outing against the Lakers. The 28-year-old has been working his way back from an inguinal hernia, so his availability for the exhibition in L.A. is good news concerning his chances of making the team. […]

C.J. McCollum Out Against Sacramento

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (coach's decision) won't play during Monday night's exhibition clash against the Kings. With the team playing three preseason games throughout the week, head coach Chauncey Billups will hold him out. Damian Lillard isn't going to suit up either, so fantasy managers should look for Anfernee Simons, Ben McLemore, Dennis […]

Damian Lillard Won't Play On Monday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (coach's decision) won't suit up for the upcoming preseason matchup against the visiting Sacramento Kings. CJ McCollum will join him, although neither man is hurt or fatigued. Portland has three exhibitions on the schedule throughout the week, so the veteran is expected back in the lineup on Wednesday against […]

Langston Galloway Waived By The Warriors

The Warriors waived guard Langston Galloway on Saturday. The journeyman appeared in three preseason outings for Golden State, logging just 3.3 points throughout nearly nine minutes per game. After averaging just over 10 points throughout the 2019-20 campaign during his final year in Detroit, Langston's production dropped significantly in Phoenix last season. Although it's foreseeable […]

Gorgui Dieng Dealing With A Sprained Hand

Atlanta Hawks center Gorgui Dieng (hand) exited Saturday's preseason win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran suffered a sprained right hand and didn't return. Normally, Dieng's ailments over the years haven't impacted fantasy managers much. Yet, with Clint Capela (Achilles) and Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) expected to miss time during the regular season, the veteran was […]

Malik Monk Dealing With A Groin Strain

Los Angeles Lakers guard Malik Monk (groin) won't play during Sunday's exhibition matchup against the Suns. Monk is currently dealing with a right groin strain, and although it's unknown when he will be ready to return, it's possible he won't play again until the regular season begins on October 19. This is an unfortunate development […]

Talen Horton-Tucker Out Against Phoenix On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb) won't play during Sunday's exhibition against the reigning Western Conference Champions, the Phoenix Suns. The 20-year-old is currently dealing with a right thumb sprain, and while it doesn't appear to be anything serious, the team is playing it safe by keeping him out. Horton-Tucker signed a three-year, $32 […]

Derrick Rose Suffers Ankle Injury On Saturday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) did not return to Saturday's preseason clash against the Wizards. The former MVP began experiencing pain in his left ankle and was observed speaking with trainers during the fourth quarter. He subsequently went back to the locker room and wasn't seen again for the contest's duration. Before the […]

Kyler Murray - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Murray has a favorable matchup against the 49ers, a team that has struggled against opposing quarterbacks this season (ninth-most FPPG allowed to QB's, 18th in pass DVOA). He may be the best signal-caller that the San Francisco defense has seen all year, and our friends in Vegas have him throwing around 275 yards and nearly […]

Joe Mixon To Play "In Some Capacity" In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) will play during Sunday's matchup against the Packers. The former Oklahoma Sooner tweaked his ankle during the Thursday Night Football win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, so his status against Green Bay had been in question ever since. However, it's possible he doesn't see a full workload, with NFL […]

Saquon Barkley - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Barkley is still working his way back from a season-ending knee injury from the 2020 campaign. While he hasn't missed a game, he isn't the same player who was once considered a top-three option in fantasy drafts. Fortunately, he appears to be trending in the right direction and continues to ramp up his activities. The […]

Maxx Williams Questionable For Week 5

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams (shoulder) is questionable ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the 49ers. Williams didn't practice on Wednesday, but he did see limited work on Thursday and Friday as he continues to deal with a shoulder issue. Still, while his presence is encouraging, he remains in danger of missing Sunday's […]

Rondale Moore - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore started the year with a bang, compiling 11 catches for 168 yards and a touchdown throughout the first two weeks of the 2021 campaign. However, since then, things have gone downhill, and he's had only five grabs for 29 yards throughout his previous two games. Still, the rookie has […]
