Should I Drop Dak Prescott In Week 7? Fantasy Football Outlook

For how harsh everyone has been on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, the veteran signal-caller deserves some props for his performance on Monday night football.

Is Keaontay Ingram A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 7? Waiver Wire Outlook

The James Conner (knee) injury has opened things up in the Arizona Cardinals backfield.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz continues to be a weapon on offense. He caught his third touchdown pass of the season in the team's 20-13 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 6.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 13-of-27 passes for 199 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the team's 20-13 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Dalton Schultz Not A Must-Start In Week 6

It appears Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is starting to build a rapport with quarterback C.J. Stroud. But Schultz might struggle to find openings in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints.

Nico Collins A Flex Play In Week 6

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is looking to bounce back in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints after a mediocre performance last week.

Entering Sunday's matchup, the third-year wideout will have another tough […]

Dameon Pierce Draws A Tough Matchup In Week 6

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce might be hard to trust in fantasy at home against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6.

C.J. Stroud A Risky QB1 In Week 6

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has exceeded all expectations in the early going. But he faces a hard challenge in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints.

Jordyn Brooks Limited In Wednesday’s Practice

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's team practice. It's a good sign that Brooks was able to practice in some capacity to start the week.

Jamal Adams Limited In Wednesday’s Practice

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Adams, who made his season debut in Week 4 against the New York Giants, played just nine snaps before suffering a concussion.

Braxton Berrios Starts Week With Limited Practice

Donald Parham Jr. Participates In Wednesday’s Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (wrist) participated in Wednesday's practice with a brace on his right hand.

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (hamstring) did not partake in the team's practice on Wednesday. Homer suffered the injury in the Bears' 40-20 win in Week 5 and left the game early.

Is Curtis Samuel A Good Fantasy Football Pickup For Week 6? Waiver Wire Outlook

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel has been more involved on offense than people expected coming into the year.
