Kenneth Gainwell Limited With Rib Injury

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The second-year back's status for this week appears to be in a good spot considering his ability to practice even in a limited capacity. The Eagles are taking on the Cowboys on Sunday night for a highly anticipated divisional […]

Taysom Hill Limited On Wednesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Saints' offensive Swiss Army Knife is coming off of a huge day where he had 112 yards on nine carries along with three touchdowns. This most recent rib injury was listed as an issue prior to Week 5, so […]

Mike Williams Misses Practice With Illness

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (illness) didn't take part in the team's unofficial practice on Wednesday. The Chargers didn't release a practice report on Wednesday, but the 28-year-old was reported to be dealing with an illness. With the Chargers playing on Monday night, Williams' Week 6 status shouldn't be in jeopardy just yet. […]

Zay Jones Practices In Limited Capacity

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. This limited practice was most likely a result of Jones playing through the ankle injury that was bothering him leading up to the Jaguars' Week 5 matchup with the Houston Texans. Wednesday's practice reports tend to not be the clearest with […]

Dyami Brown A Low-End Flex Play In Week 6

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown could be in for a decent performance on Thursday Night Football. The second-year wide receiver had the best game of his young career in Week 5 as he finished with two receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns. That production came as a result of rookie wideout Jahan Dotson […]

Antonio Gibson Should Stay On Benches In Week 6

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson is no longer a reliable option for starting lineups. With rookie Brian Robinson returning to the backfield last week, the third-year back appeared to have already lost the majority of his workload as he only saw six total opportunities on the day. Gibson has no appeal for fantasy managers, […]

Brian Robinson An Interesting Flex Play In Week 6

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson is an interesting play in Week 6. The rookie returned from injury in Week 5, and while he didn't impress statistically, his usage was a great sign of things to come. In his first NFL game, Robinson immediately led the Washington backfield in carries with nine on the day. […]

Curtis Samuel Should Continue Collecting Receptions

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel should be in line to lead the team in receptions once again. The 26-year-old is having a solid comeback year as he's currently leading all Washington receivers in targets and receptions by a wide margin. This usage has led to him having a solid floor for fantasy, but he […]

Terry McLaurin A WR2 In Week 6

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should continue his run of WR2 production during Week 6 on Thursday Night Football. The 27-year-old is listed as the top receiver in this offense, but his usage and production have been disappointing considering preseason expectations. Through five weeks, he's averaging 3.8 receptions and 65.2 receiving yards per game, […]

Unexpected Boom Performances: Week 5 Fantasy Football Reactions for Taysom Hill, Khalil Shakir, Dyami Brown and more

Week 5 of the NFL season continued the early season trend of improbable performances throughout the league.

I mean, you all definitely had Taysom in your lineup this weekend, right? After another week of […]

Carson Wentz Throws Costly Interception In Week 5 Loss

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz completed 25-of-38 passes for 359 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 29-year-old was able to fill the stat sheet better than he has in recent weeks, but that doesn't tell the full story. While he was pushing the ball downfield, Wentz consistently […]

Antonio Gibson Sees Just Six Opportunities In Week 5

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson had three carries for six yards in addition to three receptions for 33 yards during Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. With rookie Brian Robinson returning to this backfield, the third-year back was relegated to the role that many feared for in the offseason. It appears that while Robinson […]

Brian Robinson Leads Washington In Carries

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson had nine carries for 22 yards in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The rookie running back made his anticipated return to the field in Week 5 but appeared to still have some rust he's working through. The encouraging aspect of this performance is that the 23-year-old appears to […]

Curtis Samuel Sees Team-High Eight Targets

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught six-of-eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 26-year-old had his usual performance as he led the Commanders in targets for the fifth consecutive week. Samuel continues to have a strong floor for fantasy managers due to his reception totals. But with the […]

Terry McLaurin Secures Five Catches In Week 5

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught five-of-six targets for 76 yards in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The former Buckeye has been productive this season, but once again, he should be doing more. McLaurin hasn't caught a touchdown since Week 1, and it feels like Carson Wentz should be targeting him more on […]

Dyami Brown Scores Two Long Touchdowns In Week 5

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught two-of-four targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. After being a disappointing draft pick for the early portion of his career, the 22-year-old had a splash performance in Week 5. With great speed, he had a massive impact as a deep […]

J.D. McKissic Could Have Decent Receiving Floor In Week 5

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic could be providing his usual solid receiving floor in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. The 29-year-old has averaged 4.75 receptions per game and he might have an opportunity to provide some more work in that department as the Titans rank in the bottom half of the league in […]

Antonio Gibson May See Diminished Role In Week 5

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson appears to be at the end of the road as the unquestioned lead back in this offense. With rookie running back Brian Robinson being out for the first four weeks, the 24-year-old has been able to handle the majority of the usage out of the backfield. But now that […]

Logan Thomas Could See Larger Role In Week 5

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas could be seeing more work than usual in Week 5. The ninth-year veteran has been working himself back to pre-injury form after recovering from ACL surgery in the offseason. In this upcoming matchup against the Tennessee Titans, managers might be able to see how far he's truly come. Commanders […]

Terry McLaurin Facing Opportunistic Matchup In Week 5

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, along with the rest of the team, had a disappointing outing last week. Going up against a tough Dallas Cowboys defense, the 27-year-old was locked down as he finished with only two receptions for 15 yards. This week against the Tennessee Titans, he'll probably see some improvement. The Titans […]

Carson Wentz Looks Poised To Improve On Poor Performances

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz has been looking rough. After a couple of tough outings where he floundered against two top-10 defenses, the 29-year-old could be in line to take advantage of a more favorable matchup. In Week 5, the Commanders will be taking on the Tennessee Titans, a team that possesses a bottom-five pass […]

Allen Lazard Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) was limited during Wednesday's practice. The 26-year-old is coming off a Week 4 win against the New England Patriots where he led Green Bay in receiving with six receptions for 116 yards. Lazard has been listed with ankle issues ever since his Week 1 absence due to […]

Dustin Hopkins Limited On Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quad) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. The nine-year veteran is coming off a performance where he was perfect on the day with two made field goals and four made extra-point attempts. It's unclear whether this injury will continue to be an issue, but Hopkins having a limited […]

Zay Jones Gets In Limited Practice On Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. After missing Jacksonville's Week 4 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles with an ankle injury, the sixth-year wide receiver returned to practice on Wednesday. This return is a good sign as his Week 5 status appears to be pointing in the right direction. Jones […]

Greg Dulcich Stays On Injured Reserve In Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) is staying on IR for another week. There were rumors that the rookie tight end could be making his season debut in Week 5 Thursday Night Football against the Indianapolis Colts. However, the Broncos have decided to play it safe with their short week and hold off on […]

J.K. Dobbins Misses Wednesday’s Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (chest) was added to the injury report with a chest injury. The 23-year-old is coming off a productive outing against the Buffalo Bills where he had 63 total yards on 17 opportunities along with two touchdowns. Dobbins was listed with this same chest issue last Wednesday prior to Week […]

Unexpected Boom Performances: Week 4 Fantasy Football Reactions for Geno Smith, Jamal Agnew, Miles Sanders, Mo Alie-Cox

Week 4 of the NFL season continued to provide fans with some great matchups that went down to the wire. However, with plenty of injuries to skill players and weather issues in a few anticipated matchups, some unexpected faces had to show up and contribute to their offenses.  Another week has come and gone, and […]

J.D. McKissic Sees 11 Touches In Week 4

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic had eight carries for 40 yards along with three receptions for 16 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. In this performance, McKissic operated in a three-man backfield split with Antonio Gibson and Jonathan Williams that limited the upside of everyone involved. The 29-year-old also didn't have nearly […]

Jonathan Williams Efficient In Week 4

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams had five carries for 48 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Prior to this matchup, the 28-year-old had only one carry in Washington's first three games. But for whatever reason, Ron Rivera felt the need to further complicate this running back room by giving Williams touches in […]

Curtis Samuel Leads Commanders In Targets

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught four-of-seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old had himself a lackluster day as he continued to be peppered with short yardage targets. Unfortunately, in this matchup, there weren't many instances where those targets came in the red zone. So, they weren't […]
