Gardner Minshew II Has Rushing Touchdown In Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II as 25-for-44 throwing the ball in a Week 6 loss to the Detroit Lions, finishing with 243 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. He also rushed three times for 14 yards and a score. It wasn't a pretty game for the second-year quarterback, though he made just enough plays […]

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) […]

Will Fuller V Finds End Zone Against Tennessee

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V caught six of his 11 targets in Sunday's loss to the Titans, finishing with 123 yards and a touchdown. Fuller got loose for a 53-yard touchdown to help the Texans counter just after a huge Derrick Henry scoring play. Fuller led the team in targets and reminded fantasy […]

David Johnson Scores Third Touchdown Of 2020

Houston Texans running back David Johnson scored his third rushing touchdown of 2020 in Sunday's overtime loss to the Titans. The former Cardinals rusher had 19 carries, finishing with 57 yards. Not the most efficient day, but getting into the end zone helped salvage things. Johnson also added a 12-yard reception. While Johnson isn't back […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Four Touchdowns In Week 6

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson had his best game of the 2020 season in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, going 28-for-37 for 335 yards and four touchdowns. He added 26 yards on the ground. Houston got behind big early, but managed to storm back into things. Unfortunately, Houston never got a chance to possess […]

Joe Mixon Returns To Game Against Colts

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) has returned to his team's Week 6 game against the Indianapolis Colts after exiting earlier with a foot injury. Monitor Mixon to make sure he's a getting a full workload, but it seems he's fine after the injury scare.

Joe Mixon Questionable To Return With Foot Injury

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon exited Sunday's game with a right foot injury and is questionable to return. If Mixon fails to return, Gio Bernard should be in for a strong second half performance, especially with the Bengals holding a good sized lead and likely running more over the remainder of the game.

Mark Ingram II Questionable To Return In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles. If Ingram is unable to return, expect to see more of Gus Edwards, who has already scored a touchdown in Sunday's game. This will be an important injury to monitor going forward to see if it leads to […]

Dak Prescott Has No Infections Post-Surgery

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (leg) has not had any infections after his surgery. This sets Prescott up to start the four to six month recovery window from the injury. While he won't be back at all in 2020, Prescott should be good to go in 2021, though the big question remains if he'll be […]

Antonio Gandy-Golden Out For Rest Of Week 6

Washington Football Team rookie wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden earned a starting spot for Washington on Sunday, but that potential upside took a turn, with Gandy-Golden exiting with a hamstring injury. He has already been ruled out for the remainder of this contest. While it was a good sign for his future that he was in […]

Andrew Thomas Didn't Start For Giants

The New York Giants made a change with their offensive line, moving rookie left tackle Andrew Thomas to the bench and starting third-round rookie Matt Peart in his place. Not a great sign for Thomas, the No. 4 overall pick in this year's draft who has struggled so far. Maybe if this is a permanent […]

Jordan Wilkins Active For Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins (calf) will play on Sunday despite missing practice on Thursday and Friday. Wilkins has the chance to see a few touches on Sunday, but doesn't really make a dent on the fantasy radar. Consider Jonathan Taylor to be the lead back and the main fantasy play this week in […]

Adam Humphries Will Play Against Texans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries (COVID-19) will return for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Fellow receiver Corey Davis (COVID-19) will not. Humphries should immediately step into a solid role in the slot for the Titans, making him a WR4 play in full-PPR leagues and WR5 play in half-PPR. Not an exciting option, but […]

Curtis Samuel Inactive For Week 6

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) looked like he was trending towards playing on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but was a late scratch when the inactive report came out. With Samuel out, we can expect heavy doses of D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson at wide receiver. Seth Roberts should see an increased workload, […]

Darius Slayton Will Play Against Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) is available to play on Sunday against the Washington Football Team. Slayton should serve as the primary target for quarterback Daniel Jones, and while downside exists, he's also already had a pair of 100-yard games and should be considered a solid WR3 play this week against this […]

Adrian Peterson Good To Go After Appendix Scare

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson missed practice earlier in the week after side pain prompted concerns about his appendix. But blood work showed there wasn't an issue there, and Peterson is good to go on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is a fairly crowded backfield and the Jaguars are a defense that's going […]

Drew Lock Officially Active For Week 6

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, while Jeff Driskel won't be active. This seems to suggest Lock is a full go as the starter, though a tough matchup against the Patriots means that Lock's just a low-end QB2 play. He'll be especially hurt by […]

Jordan Akins, Keke Coutee Inactive Against Titans

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans as expected, and slot receiver Keke Coutee is a healthy scratch. With Akins out, Darren Fells will once again serve as the primary tight end option for quarterback Deshaun Watson. He has touchdown upside as a big target in the […]

Julian Edelman Active For Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Edelman will serve as the primary receiving option for quarterback Cam Newton and should be considered a solid WR3 play against the Broncos Defense, which has surrendered some good performances to opposing slot receivers this season.

D.J. Chark Jr. Active For Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) will be active on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. With Detroit's pass defense struggling this year, Chark should be considered a strong WR2 option, even with the possibility that he's going to be slightly limited due to the injury. Meanwhile, defensive end Josh Allen won't play. The […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Looks To Continue Upward Trajectory

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is coming off one of the best games of his first NFL campaign, catching a career-high seven passes for 79 yards against Houston. Shenault has entered the fantasy football starter conversation in deeper leagues and has a plus matchup this week against the Lions, who allow the […]

Tape Tells All: Chase Claypool's Week 5 Performance

On Sunday, a potential new star emerged in the NFL, as Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool scored four touchdowns. Claypool is going to be the biggest add on the waiver wire this week, which is the right decision. Get him on your rosters. In fact, by the time you're reading this, there's a […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Has Strong Upside In Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) only had three catches for 16 yards before being forced out of Week 5's contest against the Houston Texans. But if Chark is able to go against the Lions on Sunday, he'll be a strong WR2 play against a Lions Defense that allows the eighth-most fantasy points […]

James Robinson's Role Continues To Rise

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson remains in the RB2 conversation due to his increased workload on the ground and in the passing game for this Jags team, as he's had 17 touches or more in each game and saw a season-high seven targets last week. An even bigger factor this week, though, may be […]
