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 […]

Keelan Cole Leads Jaguars In Week 6 Receiving Yards
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught six passes for 143 yards in his team's Week 6 loss to the Detroit Lions. It was Cole's first 100-yard game of the season. It's hard to get a read on Cole from a fantasy point of view, as he seemed to be trending down before this game. […]

James Robinson Catches Touchdown Against Lions
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson had his worst game on the ground of his rookie season on Sunday, carrying the ball 12 times for just 29 yards in a loss to the Detroit Lions.

Randall Cobb Finds End Zone In Week 6
Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb caught three passes for 17 yards in Week 6 against the Titans, though a touchdown grab helped salvage an otherwise disappointing day. Cobb's starting to fall back in the pecking order in Houston, as Will Fuller V and Brandin Cooks start to see more consistent targets. Cobb's got upside […]

Brandin Cooks Has Nine Receptions Against Titans
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught a team-high nine passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He also came up just short on another potential touchdown. Cooks has been the team's leading receiver by receptions in consecutive weeks and looks poised to be a high-upside fantasy WR3 […]

Darren Fells Has Huge Week 6
Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught six passes for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Titans. Fells has mostly been a low-yardage, touchdown-dependent player during his time in Houston, but the last couple have games have seen an uptick in his yardage. Those games have come with Jordan Akins (ankle) […]
