James Washington Out For Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (groin) is out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Last week with Chase Claypool (hamstring) out, Washington saw more work than usual, with four catches for 69 yards. Claypool's return this week meant that Washington wasn't going to see much work anyway, so this shouldn't impact your fantasy […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Inactive For Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hamstring) joins Julio Jones (hamstring) on the inactive list this week. Down two receivers, expect to see a lot of Josh Reynolds in this one. Last week with Jones and A.J. Brown out, Reynolds was targeted nine times, catching six passes for 59 yards. He's an intriguing DFS value […]

J.J. Taylor Inactive For Week 5

New England Patriots running back J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Texans. Expected to step into a larger role with James White out, Taylor had one carry for zero yards and one catch for zero yards last week. He lost a fumble while playing just four snaps. Brandon Bolden […]

Josh Lambo Inactive

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Titans, with practice squad kicker Matthew Wright taking over kicking duties. Lambo was a disaster through the first three games, going 0-for-3 on field goals and 5-for-7 on extra points before Wright took over last week, knocking in all three extra […]

Courtland Sutton Active For Week 5

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers. This should be the easiest pass defense that the Broncos have faced this season, putting Sutton in decent shape to post some strong numbers. He has 18 catches for 257 yards but has yet to find the endzone this season. […]

Joe Mixon Is Active For Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is officially active for the team's contest against the Green Bay Packers. While Mixon isn't expected to be at 100 percent, he should still outsnap backup running back Samaje Perine. Still, Mixon's unlikely to see the kind of workload that we usually see from the 25-year-old back, so […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Charlotte Drive For The Cure 250 (10/9/21)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs head to the Charlotte Roval on Saturday. The Round of 12 concludes with a potentially wild one at Charlotte. Non-playoff drivers have won both races in this round, which means that while Austin Cindric has clinched a spot in the next round, the other 11 drivers are all still competing […]

Russell Wilson Questionable To Return On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Rams, with Geno Smith coming in to replace him in the fourth quarter. Wilson was 11-for-16 for 152 yards with a touchdown and an interception before exiting, with two carries for 10 yards. If Wilson is unable to return, Smith […]

Tyler Higbee Questionable To Return Thursday

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Higbee doesn't have a catch in Thursday's game. Johnny Mundt is the backup tight end in Los Angeles, but don't expect to see much of him in Thursday's game. If Higbee doesn't return, some of his […]

Tape Tells All: Sam Darnold's Rushing Ability

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film for something that happened in the NFL this week. So, Sam Darnold runs now. He has more rushing touchdowns through four games than any quarterback ever has. What's going on with Darnold? Is he good now? Is he going to keep […]

Defenses to Stream AGAINST - Favorable Upcoming Matchups to Target

We're four weeks into the NFL season, which means that while we still don't know a lot about the teams in the league, we do know slightly more than we knew a month ago. For example, we have some data about defenses now, which means we can start to think about how we can target […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Another week of NFL action is behind us and like every week so far, the waiver wire is significantly more bare than it's been in past seasons. Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 5. Not all options are the same. Some players may be […]

Kalif Raymond (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A week after Raymond had 10 targets and was the only Lions receiver to do anything, Detroit spread the ball out a little more this week. Raymond still had six targets, pulling in three catches for 46 yards and two touchdowns. Raymond […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This Lions receiving corps is so weird. The rookie St. Brown led it with eight targets, bringing in six for 70 yards. Quintez Cephus had more yards, but he's 16 percent rostered, which is about where he should be. There's room for St. Brown […]

Kadarius Toney (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This obviously depends on the availability of Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard, who both missed Week 4 because of hamstring issues. If one or both are out again, keep an eye on the rookie Toney. His nine targets led Giants' wide receivers this week, and […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR, JAC) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A broken ankle is going to keep D.J. Chark out for a long while (likely for the entire season), handing a larger receiving role in this offense to Shenault. He was targeted seven times in Week 4 against the Bengals, bringing in six of […]

David Montgomery Ruled Out In Week 4

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Week 4 contest against the Lions. He had 23 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the game. If Montgomery misses time, Damien Williams would be a priority waiver wire addition in leagues where he's available. Williams has […]

David Montgomery Heads To Locker Room

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (knee) has gone to the locker room in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions. Montgomery went down in a lot of pain in the fourth quarter, so it wouldn't be a shock to see Montgomery not return to this one. He had 23 carries for 106 yards and two […]

Dalvin Cook Exits Against Browns

While the team has made no announcement about his status, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook limped off of the field earlier in Sunday's game and has yet to return, with Alexander Mattison handling the workload on the past few drives. Cook had six carries for 17 yards and two catches for 10 yards. Keep […]

Dyami Brown, Brandon Scherff Ruled Out

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown (knee) and offensive guard Brandon Scherff (knee) have been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Falcons. Brown had one catch for 19 yards and wasn't going to be playing a big role with Curtis Samuel back. Scherff's absence hurts this offense more, as he's a needed protector […]

Tyler Lockett Active For Week 4

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hip) will play Sunday against the 49ers. Lockett could be a little bit limited due to his injury, but considering Lockett has a pair of 100-yard receiving games already this season, even a limited Lockett is a must-start play in season-long fantasy leagues. D.K. Metcalf could theoretically see more […]

Melvin Gordon III Active For Week 4

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon (leg, ribs) is officially active for Sunday's game against Baltimore. A limited participant in practice all week, Gordon appears to be in line to lead Denver's running back committee this week. Baltimore is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, making Gordon an intriguing play, […]

Will Fuller Done For The Day Against Colts

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (hand) won't return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He finishes with one catch for six yards. The Dolphins have struggled to move the ball in Sunday's game, but it looks like Albert Wilson would be the main beneficiary of the Fuller injury if the Dolphins can get […]

Ty'Son Williams A Healthy Scratch In Week 4

Baltimore Ravens running back Ty'Son Williams is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Baltimore will roll with the veteran trio of Latavius Murray, Devonta Freeman, and Le'Veon Bell, with Murray expected to see the bulk of the work. Williams was the team's lead back over the first two games, with 22 carries […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Active For Week 4

As expected, Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (rib) will play on Sunday against Arizona after missing last week's game against Tampa. Arizona's run defense hasn't been great this season, so consider Henderson a solid fantasy play, though don't be surprised to see his role look a little smaller than it did over […]

Tony Jones Jr. Carted Off The Field

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. (leg) was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Alvin Kamara's backup, Jones has three carries for eight yards in Sunday's game and one catch for a loss of three yards. After having 11 carries in Week 1, Jones had just five […]

Will Fuller Questionable To Return In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He has one catch for six yards so far, but overall is the team's best deep threat. If Fuller doesn't return, Jaylen Waddle and DeVante Parker will see most of the receiving work, especially with Preston Williams […]

Amari Cooper Returns To Game

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) has returned to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He had previously been announced as questionable to return after exiting. A healthy Cooper is a dynamic weapon for this Dallas offense and quarterback Dak Prescott, so it's good for this Cowboys offense that Cooper is back in the […]
