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 […]

Gardner Minshew II A Strong QB2 Play Against Lions

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II should be considered a high-end streaming play in one-QB fantasy leagues on Sunday when the Jaguars face the Detroit Lions. The Lions allow the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing passers, and Minshew has three 300-yard games already this year. He's starting to cut down on the interceptions […]

Jordan Akins Has Streaming Appeal In Week 6

If he suits up on Sunday, Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle) should be a strong streaming candidate against a Titans Defense that allows the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Akins hasn't had a ton of production over his last two games, but did have seven catches in Week 2 […]

Randall Cobb Remains Deep League Flex Option

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb isn't going to win you a week in fantasy this year, but the slot receiver has been targeted at least five times in three of the last four games and has value in deep leagues. Cobb had a season-high six receptions last week and can provide fantasy managers with […]

Brandin Cooks Positioned For Strong Week 6

2020 has been a weird ride for Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks. He bottomed out in Week 4, failing to record a single reception. But the team moved on from head coach Bill O'Brien after that game, and in the team's first appearance post-O'Brien, Cooks was targeted a season-high 12 times, catching eight of […]

Will Fuller V Has Upside In Week 6

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V has now scored a touchdown in three consecutive games, and he's done it while not playing the one-dimensional, deep-threat role that he's played in past seasons. Fuller has become a well-rounded option for quarterback Deshaun Watson and has WR2 upside heading into a Week 6 meeting with the […]

David Johnson Has Good Week 6 Matchup

Houston Texans running back David Johnson saw a season-high 17 carries in the first game of the post-Bill O'Brien era last week, while backup running back Duke Johnson had just four touches. David Johnson has had some inconsistent games this year, including rushing for just 1.77 yards per carry against the Steelers, but his high share […]

Deshaun Watson Is Trending Up

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was playing like a fantasy QB2 over the first four games of the NFL season, but with head coach Bill O'Brien gone, he looked more like the expected version of himself last week against the Jaguars. Now, he'll look to continue that momentum against the Titans this week. Tennessee is […]

What Dak Prescott's Injury Means For Andy Dalton

On Sunday, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle injury against the New York Giants. It was a horrifying moment for anyone watching the game. With Prescott out, the Cowboys turned to Andy Dalton at quarterback to end the game. Dalton was 9-for-11 throwing the football, with 111 yards. He didn't throw for […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Can you believe we're already on our way to Week 6 of the NFL? The season is flying along, even with a lot of bumps along the way. This week saw some wild performances from some unexpected places, including Steelers rookie Chase Claypool going all the way off. It's a great time to get Claypool […]

Tuesday Night Football Starts and Sits: Bills vs Titans

It's Tuesday football time! And no, this article isn't about a MAC football game between Akron and Bowling Green -- it's about an actual NFL game on a Tuesday night. After having their Week 4 game postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak, the Tennessee Titans have had their Week 5 game pushed as far it […]

Terry McLaurin Disappoints Against Rams

The Washington Football Team's offense struggled mightily against the Rams, with only one wide receiver catching more than one pass. That receiver was Terry McLaurin, but being the best wideout of the afternoon didn't matter much in this, as he only finished with three catches for 26 yards. It was a weird day that featured […]

J.D. McKissic Leads Washington In Receptions

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic was the team's leading receiver in Week 5, catching six passes for 46 yards. He was a favorite checkdown option for quarterback Alex Smith in the second half. McKissic is a solid receiving back, but likely won't get the necessary workload moving forward to be a startable play […]

Antonio Gibson Struggles Against Rams

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson could never find his footing against the Rams on Sunday, carrying the ball 11 times for 27 yards. He did add five catches for 24 yards to help his fantasy line in PPR leagues, but overall it was a disappointing showing for the rookie. In this low-volume offense, […]

Kyle Allen Rushes For Touchdown

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen rushed for a seven-yard touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Beyond that, though, it was a forgettable day. He was 9-for-13 for 74 yards and left the game after taking a hard hit from Rams corner Jalen Ramsey. Though cleared to return, the team let veteran […]

Alex Smith Struggles In NFL Return

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith returned to the field on Sunday for the first time since a devastating leg injury in 2018. It was not a great showing for Smith, who was 9-for-17 for just 37 yards. Head coach Ron Rivera has already said Kyle Allen will start next week, so it's back to […]

Goran Dragic Will Play Game 6

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (foot) was doubtful for Sunday's NBA Finals Game 6 against the Lakers, but intends to play and is listed as active. Playing with a plantar fascia tear seems like a bad idea, but Dragic reportedly has been told he won't reinjure himself by playing. Dragic won't be near 100 percent […]

Solid Week 5 Performance By Randall Cobb

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb had a solid performance in the team's Week 5 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, catching all six of his targets for 47 yards. Cobb's role moving forward seems to be as the team's short yardage passing weapon, and while that won't lead to huge numbers, it does put Cobb […]

Darren Fells Finds End Zone In Week 5

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells caught two passes for 57 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 5 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Jordan Akins out, Fells got to see a slightly bigger workload, which resulted in his usage not just being relegated to red zone duty. He still finished with just […]

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 […]
