T.J. Hockenson Catches One Pass In Loss

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson racked up 179 yards in Week 4 and looked to be set up for another monster game in Week 5 against the Patriots. However, Jared Goff and the Lions' offense was dominated and held scoreless in the blowout loss. Hockenson caught just one of his four targets for six […]

Kalif Raymond Catches Five Passes In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond caught five of his seven targets for 45 yards in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. Some fantasy managers in deep leagues probably played Raymond since Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is banged up and D.J. Chark (ankle) was out, so in PPR leagues, he provided just enough […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Totals 18 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught just four passes for 18 yards in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. St. Brown was expected to play limited snaps because of his ankle injury, so his risk was clear for fantasy managers. Luckily, the Lions are on a bye in Week 6, so […]

Josh Reynolds Leads Lions In Targets

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught six of his 10 targets for 92 yards in the blowout loss to the New England Patriots. He was ultimately the only Lions pass-catcher who had a productive fantasy day with Amon-Ra St. Brown playing limited snaps. Reynolds has been productive this season, but it's tough to know […]

Jamaal Williams Held To 56 Yards

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams handled 15 touches but was held to just 56 yards and zero touchdowns. The Lions were shut out, so nearly all of the Detroit skill players were busts in Week 5. Williams' rest-of-season outlook will be affected by how quickly D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) comes back. Detroit is on […]

Jared Goff Shut Down In Week 5

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 19 of his 35 attempts for 229 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. His floor is clearly not as high as most thought, so he's a risky play moving forward unless the matchup is favorable for quarterbacks. That said, this […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for TEs: Week 5 Injury Updates for Kyle Pitts, T.J. Hockenson, Dawson Knox, Hayden Hurst

Week 5 is drawing closer, so it's time to dive into the tight ends with injury concerns before Sunday's games kick off. Tight end is a frustrating position to navigate in fantasy football, so any big-name tight end missing action can throw fantasy rosters into chaos. These are the latest injury updates as of Friday, […]

Jamaal Williams Has RB2 Floor In Week 5

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams will once again be the workhorse back against the New England Patriots with D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) out of action. The Patriots are the sixth-toughest defense against fantasy running backs through four weeks, but Williams' workload gives him an RB2 floor. With a ton of Lions' pass-catchers banged up, […]

Kalif Raymond, Tom Kennedy Could See Increased Roles

Detroit Lions wide receivers Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy could be significant pieces of the offense if Josh Reynolds (ankle) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) are ruled out before the game against the New England Patriots. Raymond and Kennedy combined for six receptions for 92 yards against the Seattle Seahawks in the absence of D.J. […]

T.J. Hockenson In Line For Big Week 5

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson exploded for 179 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks and could see another strong performance in a matchup with the New England Patriots. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds are both questionable with ankle injuries, so Hockenson could be Jared Goff's primary read. New […]

D.J. Chark Ruled Out For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) is set to miss his second straight game, as he was ruled out for the matchup against the New England Patriots. Josh Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown are both questionable with ankle injuries, but both are strong fantasy plays regardless of the other's game-day status. Chark's rest-of-season outlook […]

Josh Reynolds Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and is officially questionable for the matchup against the New England Patriots. If Reynolds is active, he's a strong flex play since D.J. Chark (ankle) has been ruled out. If Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is out, Reynolds is arguably a […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is officially questionable for the Week 5 matchup with the New England Patriots. After a monstrous start to the season, St. Brown missed the game against the Seattle Seahawks last week. That said, St. Brown is a must-start option with a high-end WR1 ceiling, even if he […]

D'Andre Swift Ruled Out For Week 5

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) has been ruled out for a second straight week, so he'll miss the Week 5 contest against the New England Patriots. This doesn't come as a surprise since head Coach Dan Campbell said he might be out until after the Lions' Week 6 bye. That said, Swift […]

Jared Goff A QB1 For Week 5

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has exploded out of the gates in the early part of the 2022 NFL season and ranks as the QB5 on the season heading into Week 5. The New England Patriots used to be a scary matchup for quarterbacks, but its defense isn't elite this year, and Goff has proven […]

Treylon Burks Ruled Out For Week 5

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks (toe) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Washington Commanders. Burks suffered a turf toe injury in the win against the Colts and was trending toward being out after missing practice all week. In his absence, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips could see more targets, but […]

Randy Bullock Could Have Nice Day In Week 5

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock hasn't been a fantasy stud so far this season, but a matchup with the Washington Commanders could mean scoring opportunities for the veteran field-goal man. Points against statistics aren't all that significant when it comes to kickers, but Washington has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to the position. Tennessee's offense […]

Titans Defense A Decent Streamer In Week 5

The Tennessee Titans defense/special teams is not a top-tier unit in fantasy football, but since the Washington Commanders have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to fantasy defenses, they are in consideration for Week 5. Ultimately, Carson Wentz and the Commanders' offense will likely put up plenty of yards and points, but Tennessee could capitalize […]

Kyle Philips A Deep-League PPR Option

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips has been quiet after leading the team in targets in the season opener against the New York Giants, but if Treylon Burks (turf toe) is out in Week 5, he's a decent flex option in deep leagues. Tennessee faces the Washington Commanders, who have given up the third-most fantasy […]

Jonathan Taylor Could Return In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) doesn't seem to be dealing with a major injury, as head coach Frank Reich said the team is optimistic about his chances to play in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taylor has struggled mightily in his last two games, but even in what is one of the […]

Garrett Bolles, Ronald Darby Done For The Season

Denver Broncos left tackle Garrett Bolles (leg) and cornerback Ronald Darby (knee) are out for the remainder of the season after suffering major injuries in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football. While these players don't directly affect fantasy managers, losing Bolles on the offensive line could hurt the outlooks of quarterback […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Could See More Targets In Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has been quiet thus far this season, but with Treylon Burks (turf toe) unlikely to play, he should be Ryan Tannehill's No. 2 WR against the Washington Commanders. The Commanders have given up the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers through four weeks, so he could be in line […]

Robert Woods A Great Flex Play In Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods is coming off of his best fantasy performance as a Titan with four catches for 30 yards and a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts. In Week 5, he'll face the Washington Commanders, who have given up the third-most fantasy points to WRs through four weeks. With Treylon Burks (turf […]

Derrick Henry A High-End RB1 In Week 5

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has looked like the best version of himself in his last two games, charting 50 total touches for 290 yards and two touchdowns over that span. Even though Washington is just a neutral matchup for running backs, Henry's workload remains one of the largest in the leagues, so his […]

Ryan Tannehill Draws Favorable QB Matchup

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been up and down this season, but in a matchup with the Washington Commanders, he's a top streaming option. The Commanders have given up the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and since the Titans defense also struggles against the pass, this game could set up to be […]

Is Melvin Gordon Healthy or Injured? Is Melvin Gordon Playing In Week 5?

Is Tua Tagovailoa Healthy or Injured? Will Tagovailoa Be Active in Week 5?

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been under a microscope after scary injuries in Weeks 3 and 4, and his Week 5 availability is in question. Tagovailoa has suffered back, neck, and head injuries, which can obviously be devastating ailments in football. That said, fantasy football managers are wondering whether he’ll make a return to […]

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver looked to be in store for a breakout season after two big performances in Weeks 1 and 2.
