Deshaun Watson Has Pair Of Touchdowns Against Packers
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson got off to a slow start in Sunday's loss to the Packers, but thanks to a late touchdown pass, he was able to manage a solid fantasy day. Watson was 29-for-39 throwing the football, finishing with 309 yards and two touchdowns. He added seven carries for 38 yards as well. […]

Leonard Fournette Active For Week 7
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Raiders. But with Ronald Jones II playing so well over the past month, Fournette being available doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, as he projects to see very few touches and isn't a viable fantasy play right […]

Le'Veon Bell Could Play 30 Percent Of Snaps
Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell could play around 30 percent of the offensive snaps for the Chiefs in his debut for the team, according to James Palmer of the NFL Network. That would be a pretty significant amount of play for Bell in his first game with the team, making him an intriguing […]

Landon Collins Carted To Locker Room
Washington Football Team safety Landon Collins has been carted to the locker room after an apparent Achilles injury against the Dallas Cowboys. Collins would be a big loss for this Washington defense and his absence could help the Dallas Cowboys offense get something going in the second half of Sunday's game.

Odell Beckham Jr. Ruled Out With Knee Injury
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Beckham was injured while making a tackle after a Baker Mayfield interception. Jarvis Landry would see an uptick in usage should Beckham miss additional time following this game, and the Browns will also likely involve their […]

Russell Gage Questionable To Return In Week 7
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. A solid No. 3 receiver for Atlanta, Olamide Zaccheaus would see an increased workload should Gage be unable to return to Sunday's contest.

Odell Beckham Jr. Taken To Locker Room
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been taken to the locker room after getting injured during an interception return for the opposing Bengals. It appeared to be a knee issue for Beckham, who was limping as he left the field. Jarvis Landry will see more targets if Beckham is unable to return, as […]

Ryquell Armstead Will Miss Rest Of Season
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ryquell Armstead hasn't appeared in a game this season as he's been on the NFL's COVID-19 list since training camp. It now appears that Armstead is done for the rest of 2020, as complications from the disease have led him to be hospitalized twice. Armstead's case is a reminder that COVID-19 […]

John Ross III Inactive In Week 7
One name to keep an eye on at the trade deadline: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross III, who was a healthy scratch again in Week 7. Ross was targeted five times in Week 1. Since then, he's appeared in just two games, with no receptions. The former first round pick is clearly not in […]

Jordan Akins Out Again For Houston
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle/concussion) is out for a third consecutive game on Sunday when the Texans face the Packers. With Akins sidelined, Darren Fells will once again serve as the primary tight end. He's caught eight passes for 142 yards and two scores in the last two weeks without Akins and should […]

Harrison Bryant Expected To Start
With tight end Austin Hooper (appendicitis) out, the Cleveland Browns are expected to start rookie Harrison Bryant at the position over David Njoku. Bryant becomes an interesting TE2 play for fantasy managers who need a streamer at the position, and while his ceiling is fairly low, he does offer some decent upside in full PPR […]

Sam Darnold, Denzel Mims Active, Jamison Crowder Inactive
The New York Jets will get two players back on Sunday. Quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) returns after a two-game absence, while wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) is expected to make his NFL debut. Neither player is expected to be much of a fantasy asset on Sunday, though Mims could see plenty of targets with Jamison […]

Dwayne Haskins Remains A Healthy Scratch
Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins is inactive again in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, which means Kyle Allen and Alex Smith will serve as the team's quarterbacks once again. Haskins's time in Washington appears to be done at this point, as he can't even crack the active roster on game days at this […]

Curtis Samuel Will Play In Week 7
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Samuel's been a versatile player for the Panthers, seeing work as a receiver and a running back, though from a fantasy perspective, his production hasn't been consistent enough to make him more than a deep-league flex option […]

Aaron Jones Won't Play Against Texans
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Jones had been trending down all week, and Jamaal Williams will slide in as the starting running back on Sunday. Williams is a low-end RB1 option due to Houston's defensive struggles, as they're allowing the most rushing yards […]

Washington Tackle Geron Christian Out In Week 7
Washington Football Team tackle Geron Christian (knee) will miss his first game of the season on Sunday. Christian has started every game for the Football Team, and his absence should lead to decreases in production all along this offense. Of course, facing a Cowboys Defense that allows the sixth-most yards per game in the NFL […]

Cowboys Defense Should Have Randy Gregory Sunday
Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory is expected to play on Sunday against the Washington Football Team, returning for the first time since being suspended in 2018. Gregory had six sacks that season and should immediately step into a pass-rushing role on a Cowboys Defense in need of playmakers. We know the Dallas defense has […]

Seahawks Back To Waiting On Josh Gordon
After striking out on signing wide receiver Antonio Brown, the Seattle Seahawks are reportedly back to waiting on the league to potentially reinstate Josh Gordon in the coming weeks to help bolster a wide receiver corps that's really strong at the top with D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett but drops off quickly after. Of course, […]

Re-Evaluating the Rookie Running Back Class of 2020
We're six weeks into the 2020 NFL season and are starting to get some good ideas of what usage patterns are looking like. Which means we probably have enough data now to start to re-evaluate where certain players stand in relation to other players. For example, we've got a better idea of how this year's […]

Tape Tells All: D'Andre Swift's Week 6 Performance
Welcome to another edition of Tape Tells All. I've been thinking of rebranding as just TAPE. All-Caps like that. Probably wouldn't be a good idea for SEO purposes, right? Anyways, this week we'll be discussing Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift. Swift set a lot of career highs this week, with bests in carries […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7
Six weeks of NFL football are behind us, aside from a pair of Monday games, including a late afternoon game between the Bills and the Chiefs. In terms of wide receiver production this week, we didn't have the huge breakouts like we had in Week 5. Chase Claypool didn't score four touchdowns. In fact, only […]

Corey Davis Activated From COVID-19 List
After missing the past two games, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis has been activated from the league's COVID-19 list and should be set to return for the team's next game against the Steelers. Davis was having a bit of a resurgence in the first three games of the year, catching 15 passes for 206 […]

Adam Gase Still Not Giving Up Play-Calling Duties
New York Jets head coach Adam Gase says that he isn't going to let someone else call the plays for the 0-6 Jets, saying that play-calling is "Step 10" for the team and that they are currently still on Step 2. It's not a surprise that Gase is being stubborn about this issue, as he's […]

Mitchell Schwartz, Ricky Seals-Jones Active
Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz (back) is active for Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Schwartz will help bolster the Kansas City offensive line, preventing there from being a downgrade to the team's production that could have come if Schwartz was out. Meanwhile, tight end Ricky Seals-Jones is active for the first time […]

Zack Moss, John Brown Both Active
Buffalo Bills rookie running back Zack Moss (toe) is active for Monday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. T.J. Yeldon is inactive, suggesting that Moss is good to play at least somewhat of a role against K.C. Wide receiver John Brown (knee) is also active and should see plenty of playing time, though he is […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Barely A Factor Against Lions
So much for a breakout. Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. was targeted seven times in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions, but finished with just three catches for 10 yards. He added a one-yard carry as well. Shenault had been trending up and was a popular pick to explode in Week 6, […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Targeted 14 Times
So much for a lighter workload due to injury concerns. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. was targeted 14 times against the Lions on Sunday, catching seven of them for 45 yards. The yardage wasn't great, but the targets sure were. Chark is a WR2/3 in this offense with the upside to be a […]
