Broncos Defense Surprises In Week 6 Win

Not much was expected from a Denver Broncos Defense missing most of their key playmakers in a Week 6 matchup on the road against quarterback Cam Newton and the Patriots. But Denver's D slowed down Newton and allowed their offense to win the game with six field goals from kicker Brandon McManus in the 18-12 […]

Brandon McManus Single-Handedly Beats Patriots

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus blew up for any fantasy managers that started him in Week 6, as he nailed all six of his field-goal attempts on Sunday. With the Broncos offense failing to put the ball in the end zone all day, McManus' leg accounted for all of the team's points in the 18-12 […]

Jerry Jeudy Quiet In Week 6 Win Over Patriots

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught just two of his five targets for 32 scoreless yards in the team's Week 6 upset win over the Patriots by a score of 18-12. Jeudy was third on the team with his five targets, seeing one less look than rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, who was […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Makes Debut Against Patriots

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam saw the field for the first time in his NFL career on Sunday against the Patriots and caught two of his six targets for 45 yards in the 18-12 win. With Noah Fant (ankle) inactive, the rookie tight end was the preferred choice for quarterback Drew Lock over […]

Tim Patrick Proving He's The Real Deal

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick went over the 100-yard mark for the second straight week in the 18-12 upset win over the Patriots in Week 6. Patrick caught four of his team-leading eight targets for a team-high 101 yards on the day. It has certainly helped that tight end Noah Fant has been hampered […]

Royce Freeman Sees Season-High Nine Touches Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman served as the backup to Phillip Lindsay in the Week 6 win over the Patriots, as Melvin Gordon III was inactive with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Freeman had a season-high eight carries for 26 yards and caught his lone target for four yards in the 18-12 victory. It was nice […]

Phillip Lindsay Steps Up In Upset Of Patriots

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay took advantage of Melvin Gordon III (illness) sitting out of the Week 6 contest against the Patriots on Sunday, running the ball 23 times for 101 yards in the 18-12 win on the road. Lindsay wasn't involved at all in the passing game, but it was a nice surprise […]

Drew Lock Struggles With Accuracy In Return

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock struggled to get much of anything going in his return from a right shoulder sprain, but he nevertheless led his team to an 18-12 victory on the road against the Patriots in Week 6. Lock was just 10-for-24 for 189 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, and he also […]

Kirk Cousins Knows He Must Improve

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer didn't give any thought to benching quarterback Kirk Cousins after he threw three first-half interceptions in the eventual 40-23 loss to the Falcons in Week 6, but Cousins is aware that he won't make it through the season if his interception trend continues after the team's Week 7 bye. […]

Broncos Defense Has A Tough Task In Week 6

The Denver Broncos Defense caught a tough break with their game against the New England Patriots moving from Week 5 to Week 6 due to positive COVID-19 tests in the Patriots organization. If the game had been played last Monday, it's likely that New England would've been without quarterback Cam Newton, who missed the prior […]

Kenny Clark Returning For Packers Defense

Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark (groin) is set to return in Week 6 against the Buccaneers after being out since he suffered a groin injury in the season-opener. Cornerback Kevin King (quadriceps), who was injured in Week 4, will be a game-time decision. Clark's return is good news for a Packers […]

Noah Fant Receives Questionable Tag

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) was a limited practice participant all week and is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Patriots. Head coach Vic Fangio said earlier in the week that Fant has a 50-50 shot to play on Sunday. Check back on Sunday morning, as Fant is shaping up to […]

K.J. Hamler Ruled Out For Week 6

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Patriots. Hamler wouldn't have played last week either and hasn't practiced since suffering the injury in the Week 4 win against the Jets. The 21-year-old rookie has the potential to be an […]

Phillip Lindsay Could Be Lead Back In Week 6

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) practiced in full all week and will make his return in Week 6 against the Patriots after getting injured in the season-opener. Lindsay said he is 100 percent healthy, and he could be the lead back on Sunday with Melvin Gordon III battling an illness and also in […]

Melvin Gordon III Questionable For Week 6

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Patriots. Gordon didn't practice on Friday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, but there's also his DUI hanging over his head going into this weekend's game. Even if he plays on Sunday, he'll be facing a two- or three-game […]

Brett Rypien Should Be Avoided If He Makes Another Start

There remains a chance that Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien receives another start in Week 6 against the Patriots with Drew Lock (shoulder) questionable for Sunday's contest. It's looking more like Lock will make his return since suffering a right shoulder injury in Week 2, though. Rypien was up-and-down in the Week 4 win over […]

Drew Lock Questionable Against Patriots

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) practiced in full all week but is still listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Patriots. We'd say Lock is on the right side of questionable after getting in full practices this week. The second-year QB has been out since he was injured in Week 2, but it's […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Good To Go For Sunday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is off the final injury report and is good to go for Week 6 against the division-rival Rams. Garoppolo missed several games with a high ankle sprain and aggravated the ankle in the Week 5 disappointing loss to the Dolphins, but he said his ankle feels great and […]

A.J. Minter To Start For Braves In Game 5

Former Atlanta Braves left-handed closer A.J. Minter will make his first career start in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Friday as the Braves look to close out the series and advance to the World Series for the first time since 1999. It will be a bullpen game for […]

Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Will Play Versus Packers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (ankle) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) were taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Packers. Evans hasn't been 100 percent for most of the year, but he hasn't missed a game and has scored in each of his five games. However, aside […]

Davante Adams Will Return Against Buccaneers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) was taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Buccaneers. The Packers played it safe with their top wideout, holding him out since Week 2 due to a hamstring strain. Green Bay and quarterback Aaron Rodgers barely missed a beat without […]

Diontae Johnson, David DeCastro Ruled Out

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (back) and veteran right guard David DeCastro (abdomen) have both been ruled out for Week 6 against the Browns. Rookie Chase Claypool, who broke out with four touchdowns last weekend, should once again have an increased role in the passing game with Johnson out. Rookie Kevin Dotson will start […]

Patriots Placing James Ferentz On COVID-19 List

The New England Patriots are placing center James Ferentz on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, according to a source. The Patriots are still on schedule to face the Broncos in Week 6 on Sunday, but if the game winds up being played, quarterback Cam Newton will be taking snaps from someone else. It's something to […]

Mo Alie-Cox Ruled Out Against Bengals

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (knee) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Bengals. Alie-Cox has been a surprise fantasy contributor early in the season, going for 11 catches, 194 yards and two touchdowns in five games, but he's become more of a non-factor in Indy's offense now that Trey Burton is […]

Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and offensive tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Ravens. Jeffery has yet to play in 2020, but he's been limited in practices the last couple weeks and could make his debut in Week 7. Jackson will miss […]

Julio Jones Set To Return In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) isn't on the final injury report for the Week 6 game against the Vikings, meaning he's likely to return to the field on Sunday after a one-game absence. The 31-year-old has aggravated the same hamstring injury multiple times this year, though, so hopefully it doesn't become a problem […]

Tyler Larsen Placed On COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers placed offensive lineman Tyler Larsen on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and also sent defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle) to Injured Reserve with a high ankle sprain. Despite the positive test from Larsen, the team's home game in Week 6 against the Bears remains on schedule. Gross-Matos suffered his injury in the […]

Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry Questionable

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (chest) and wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and Jarvis Landry (hip, ribs) are listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Steelers. Mayfield practiced this week and said earlier this week that he'll play in a big divisional contest against Pittsburgh. The Steelers Defense has been strong this year, […]

Dalvin Cook Ruled Out Against Falcons

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (groin) has been officially ruled out for Week 6 against the Falcons. This doesn't come as a huge surprise, as Cook didn't practice all week and will be rested ahead of the team's Week 7 bye. Backup Alexander Mattison will be an excellent plug-and-play RB1 this Sunday against the […]

Melvin Gordon III Out Friday With Illness

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (illness) is not practicing on Friday because of a non-COVID-19-related illness, according to a source. Gordon has practiced this week, but there remains the possibility that the league gives him a two- or three-game suspension after he was charged with a DUI earlier this week. He could appeal […]
