Will Fuller V Catches Touchdown In Week 5

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V caught four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fuller was targeted eight times, second-most on the team. It appears Houston's offense is opening up some, which is good news moving forward for Fuller, even if his yardage total isn't quite […]

Brandin Cooks Has Explosive Week 5

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks showed why the Texans traded for him in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cooks finished with eight catches on 12 targets, with 161 yards and a touchdown. This is who former GM Bill O'Brien thought he was getting, and in the first game since O'Brien's firing, Cooks delivered. […]

David Johnson Has Strong Performance Against Jaguars

Houston Texans running back David Johnson had been trending down, but a strong performance in Week 5 might help put him back on a positive track. Johnson had 17 carries for 96 yards and also added seven receiving yards on two catches. It appears that with offensive coordinator Tim Kelly calling plays, one thing is […]

Deshaun Watson Leads Texans To First 2020 Victory

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson helped Houston finally get a mark in the victory column against the Jaguars in Week 5. Watson was 25-for-35 for 359 yards with three touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. He also added 25 rushing yards. Freed from former head coach Bill O'Brien's reins, the Texans offense looked like a […]

Keelan Cole Scores Touchdown Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole caught a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. Cole finished with two catches for 25 yards. While he was targeted six times, Cole's role has been trending down, and even with the touchdown he doesn't seem like more than a bye week replacement option going forward for […]

Collin Johnson Catches First NFL Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Collin Johnson caught the first touchdown of his NFL career on Sunday. Entering the game with just two career receptions, Johnson was targeted four times, catching three passes for 30 yards. The increased workload is interesting to note, but Johnson's role is still not big enough at this point for […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Leads Team In Receptions

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. caught a team-high seven passes for 79 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. The rookie continues to see an increase in his usage and has established himself as the No. 2 receiver on this team. While his usage won't be consistent enough to make Shenault a […]

James Robinson Fails To Score In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson had a middling Week 5 performance against the Houston Texans. Robinson had 13 carries for 48 yards and caught five passes for 22 yards. It wasn't a bad performance for Robinson, though Houston's struggles on run defense had fantasy managers expecting a stronger game from the first-year rusher. […]

Gardner Minshew II Throws For 300 Yards In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II was forced to throw a lot against the Texans on Sunday, tossing the ball 49 times. He completed 31 of them for 301 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Minshew also added 18 yards on the ground on four carries. It was a solid performance for Minshew, who is […]

Kyle Allen Cleared To Return

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen has been cleared to return for the second half after exiting after a hard hit in the first half. With Allen off the field, fans got the chance to see Alex Smith on the field for the first time in two years. Allen should be back in as the […]

Raheem Mostert Officially Active For Week 5

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is officially a go for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. We'll see what kind of usage Mostert gets, but he should be deployed as a flex play at best this week. His return also means that Jeff Wilson Jr. isn't playable in most formats now, and […]

Jordan Howard Is Surprise Inactive

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard is a surprise inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Howard's role this year has mostly been down near the end zone, so maybe the Dolphins just want to make some more space on the active roster for versatile players? If Howard is indeed healthy, this doesn't bode well […]

Kyle Allen Leaves Field After Hard Hit

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen took a hard hit to the head from Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey, sending him off the field and putting veteran Alex Smith in at quarterback. It's unclear if Allen will return to the game, but Smith -- whose NFL career looked in jeopardy in 2018 after a devastating leg […]

Diontae Johnson Questionable To Return

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. With Johnson off the field, rookie Chase Claypool has been the biggest beneficiary, scoring the team's first two touchdowns. Johnson's a strong WR3 play when healthy, but we'll need to monitor this situation to see if what […]

Kelechi Osemele Carted Off

Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele was carted off the field in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders with what appeared to be a non-contact knee injury. If Osemele misses time, the Chiefs line will take a step backwards, though the skill and talent on this offense is too […]

NFL Optimistic That Titans/Bills Will Play Tuesday

Anything can happen, but even after a positive COVID test for a coach on Sunday, the NFL is optimistic that the Titans/Bills game for Tuesday will go on as scheduled. That would be huge for the Titans and the league, as a second missed game would lead to some serious scheduling issues moving forward.

NFL Not Ready To Create Week 18 Yet

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero says that while the NFL is leaving open the option to push the postseason back and add a Week 18 to help with the scheduling due to COVID postponements, the plan for now remains moving bye weeks around to fit games in the first 17 weeks. Late-season postponements could lead the […]

Joe Mixon Active For Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (shin) will play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Questionable all week, Mixon practiced on Friday and was expected to play, so no surprises here. Despite some inconsistency this season, season-long managers have to start Mixon as a low-end RB1 and hope that he gets more involved as a […]

Cam Akers Returns For Week 5

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (ribs) is back in Week 5, as the Rams face the Washington Football Team. There's a lot of pieces in this backfield and Akers will need to earn snaps over Darrell Henderson Jr. and Malcolm Brown, so Akers isn't a great fantasy option in his return and rates […]

Eagles Still Without DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery

The Philadelphia Eagles offense is still in poor shape, as they are without Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson once again. Tight end Hakeem Butler -- a college wide receiver -- is inactive as well. So, it looks like another week for Greg Ward to serve as the team's primary wide receiver. Ward's a solid WR3 […]

Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown, Mark Andrews Active

The Baltimore Ravens will have three players who were questionable for their Week 5 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee/illness), wide receiver Marquise Brown (knee), and tight end Mark Andrews (thigh) will all be on the field. Jackson and Andrews are top plays at their position in season-long leagues, with Brown being […]

Jaguars Defense Without Key Players In Week 5

The Jacksonville Jaguars Defense will be weakened in Week 5, with defensive end Josh Allen (knee) being declared inactive. With linebacker Myles Jacks (ankle) and defensive back C.J. Henderson (shoulder) also out, the Jaguars are in bad shape as they prepare to face the Texans and their potentially explosive offense. This isn't the week to […]

Jordan Akins Inactive Against Jaguars

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (concussion) won't play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Akins was setting up to be an interesting streaming option if he played, but now it will be Darren Fells manning the starting role for Houston. Fells is a boom/bust play who has a good nose for the end zone, […]

Julio Jones Inactive For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) will not play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. With Jones out, Calvin Ridley is a clear WR1 play, while Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus see a major boost against a weak Panthers Defense. Hopefully, Jones is back when the Falcons next see the field.

Henry Ruggs III Will Be Active For Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III (knee/hamstring) will be active on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, as will right tackle Trent Brown. The speedster out of Alabama was the first wide receiver taken in this year's NFL Draft but has played in just two games so far, playing between 60 and 70 […]

Adam Schefter Posts Potential Schedule Changes

With the Broncos and Patriots game postponed, ESPN's Adam Schefter says that sources tell him the following changes to the schedule will take place as long as Tuesday's Bills/Titans game is a go. Broncos/Patriots will take place next Sunday, while the Chargers and Broncos game will move to Week 8 to replace Denver's original bye […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Bank of America Roval 400

Who's ready for a rainy day at the Charlotte Roval? After a crash-heavy Xfinity race that saw a lot of surprises -- a Cody Ware top 10, y'all! -- we get set for another eventful race on Sunday, this time from the Cup Series. What will happen? Feel free to hit me up on Twitter […]

Michael McDowell Has Upside On Sunday

Front Row Motorsports's Michael McDowell is an underrated road course racer. On Sunday, he'll start 31st in the Bank of America Roval 400, a race where McDowell finished 12th last season. In what might be a strange race with rain in the forecast, an experienced road course driver like McDowell is a good bet to […]

Jimmie Johnson Has Huge Upside At Roval

Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson might not challenge for his final Cup Series win on Sunday, but after placing in the bottom half of the top 10 in his first two races at this track, he's an intriguing pick in the 2020 version. Rolling off 30th, Johnson has immense place differential upside and if he […]

Brad Keselowski Should Be A Favorite At Roval

Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski will aim for his first win at the Charlotte Roval on Sunday, starting from the third position. Keselowski had one of the best cars in the inaugural race here in 2018, leading 29 laps before a wreck relegated him to 31st place. Last year, the 2 car only led three laps, […]
