Jake Tonges Remains Viable With George Kittle Still Out

The San Francisco 49ers will spend at least one more week without star tight end George Kittle (hamstring), which opens the door for backup Jake Tonges to continue being a streaming option with his team set for a plus matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs. The fourth-year man from Cal hasn't been an exact 1:1 […]

Dynasty League Cut List - Top Fantasy Football Drop Candidates for Week 6

One week can be an aberration, but five is a trend. After five weeks' worth of games, we’re starting to see how things might play out across the NFL, which players have broken out, which projects are worth keeping an eye on, and, crucially, which players are no longer worth the roster spot. Success in […]

Return To Backup Duty Likely For Carson Wentz

The Minnesota Vikings hope to have starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) back in time to play in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles, which would mean backup Carson Wentz is likely headed back to a reserve role once again. With McCarthy yet to practice, however, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported it's possible the second-year […]

Week 7 Still Tentative Target For J.J. McCarthy

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has not practiced in the weeks after his injury, but the Vikings still appear to be targeting Week 7 as the quarterback's return after their Week 6 bye. Diana Russini of The Athletic reported McCarthy could be out longer, but cited a league source saying there was "nothing to […]

Change In Volume Coming For Justin Jefferson?

The Minnesota Vikings are on a bye in Week 6, but their return to the field could have fantasy implications for wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has not played since Week 2, but the team is targeting Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles as his projected return. Jefferson drew 6.5 targets in […]

Vikings Believe Will Reichard's Lone FG Miss Hit Wire Over Field

In one of the more bizarre plays of the season, Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard's attempt to tie last week's game against Cleveland with a 51-yard field goal abruptly sliced and missed wide right -- but with good reason. The Athletic reported and video appears to confirm the Vikings' belief that the ball actually struck […]

Josh Oliver Scores Again For Vikings

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver scored a touchdown for the second time in three weeks, finishing with two catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 21-17 victory against Cleveland. The blocking-focused tight end was the secret weapon on a trick play, leaking through the Browns' defense with backup running back Cam […]

Jordan Mason Scores Touchdown to Rescue Mediocre Day

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason found the end zone and caught three passes Sunday against Cleveland, saving an otherwise average game with just 56 total yards. Mason and Minnesota did just enough, with the back scoring a second-half running touchdown to highlight a day in which he had 52 yards on 13 carries in […]

Jordan Addison Saves Day With Late Touchdown Catch

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison saved the day for both his team and managers who started him Sunday with a late touchdown grab that turned the tide in a 21-17 Vikings victory, finishing the day with five catches on six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown.

Carson Wentz Throws Game-Winning Touchdown for Minnesota

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz led a come-from-behind victory Sunday against Cleveland, completing 25 of 34 passes for 236 yards and the game-winning touchdown, a 12-yard connection to Jordan Addison that concluded an 80-yard drive. Crucially, the veteran played a clean game Sunday with no turnovers. Wentz briefly departed after taking a shot to his […]

David Njoku Finds End Zone, Leads Browns In Receiving

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku scored and led his team in receiving on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, turning nine targets into six catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately for Cleveland, it wasn't quite enough, as the offense couldn't seal the game and the defense surrendered the lead in the final 30 […]

Feature-Back Performance From Quinshon Judkins Vs. Vikings

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was his team's star of the show Sunday in a loss to Minnesota, compiling 128 total yards with a feature back's workload. The rookie from Ohio State drew 23 carries for 110 yards, caught one of two targets for another 18, and was by far his team's top […]

Another 100-Yard Week for Justin Jefferson

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson again showed why he's one of the best in football Sunday against Cleveland, going for seven catches and 123 yards in Minnesota's 21-17 comeback win in London. The All-Pro drew a game-best 11 targets and pulled down an excellent 21-yard catch on one of the NFL's top corners, Cleveland's […]

Dillon Gabriel Tosses Two Touchdowns In First NFL Start

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel finished his first NFL start with solid if unremarkable numbers, completing 19 of 33 passes for 190 yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers in a 21-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The rookie from Oregon had some encouraging moments, including a rocket second-half touchdown pass to tight end David Njoku, […]

Shedeur Sanders Could Appear This Season

According to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has developed steadily and is likely to make an appearance "when ready." The Browns are starting a rookie quarterback Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, but gave Dillon Gabriel the first crack at playing following the benching of Joe Flacco. For now, […]

Brock Bowers Dealing With Injured PCL, Bone Bruise

The ailment that has hampered Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is a PCL injury and a bone bruise, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The star tight end sustained the injury in Week 1 against the New England Patriots and left the game, but has played through it in subsequent weeks. Schefter noted […]

Milton Williams Set To Play Against Buffalo

New England Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams (ankle) is likely to go when his team takes on the Buffalo Bills in Week 5, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The star defensive tackle missed practice this week due the injury and is listed as questionable to play on the final injury report, but seems […]

Will Johnson Likely To Return For Cardinals

Rookie cornerback Will Johnson (groin) is likely to be in the Arizona Cardinals' lineup on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The second-round pick from Michigan has not played since last month due to the injury, but appears set to go on Sunday. That should be a boost to […]

Browns Likely To See Return Of Jack Conklin

Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin (elbow) is trending toward a return on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. His return would be a major boost to the offensive, which is making a change this week by replacing quarterback Joe Flacco with rookie Dillon Gabriel. Conklin, 31, has faced significantly […]

Bengals To Ride With Jake Browning, Not In QB Market

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Cincinnati Bengals are still not in the market to acquire another quarterback despite the team's struggles without franchise quarterback Joe Burrow (toe). In Burrow's absence, the Bengals have turned to backup Jake Browning, but have been blown out in consecutive weeks. The former Washington star is completing 64% […]

Eagles Won't Trade Frustrated A.J. Brown

According to a report from NFL.com, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles aren't considering a trade of wide receiver A.J. Brown, who has publicly expressed frustration about his role in the team's offense. The star receiver is having a down year so far, having caught just 14 of 28 targets for 151 yards and […]

Justice Hill a High-Risk Option After Breakout Game

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill had a monster game last week, but should be considered only a RB4/Flex option in deeper formats in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. Hill has appeared with outsized fantasy performances from time to time during his career, but has never had back-to-back top-10 finishes as a fantasy running […]

Derrick Henry Still An RB1 Without Lamar Jackson

Even without MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry still should be considered an RB1 candidate when his team takes on the Houston Texans in Week 5. The veteran running back is coming off a low-volume dud last week during a blowout loss at Kansas City, but should be the focal […]

Fringe Starting Potential For Cooper Rush

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Cooper Rush is a fringe QB2/Superflex option with his team taking on the Houston Texans in Week 5. The veteran is filling in for the injured Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for what has been a highly effective offense, but obviously is not a 1:1 replacement for Jackson's part in the running game. […]

Return Date Unchanged For Jalen McMillan

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck), still on injured reserve from a preseason injury, is still slated for a 2025 return, but likely not until after Tampa's Week 9 bye. The second-year receiver sustained the injury on a frightening play trying to catch a pass, but avoided worst-case scenarios and has a realistic […]

Prime Matchup For Arizona Cardinals D/ST

Facing likely the worst roster in the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals D/ST is a fantasy must-start in Week 5 against the struggling Tennessee Titans. Independently of the matchup, the Cards have been solid defensively in 2025, ranking sixth in points allowed, sixth in first downs allowed, and 11th in passer rating against, and now they […]

Risky Superflex Potential For Carson Wentz Against Browns

Earning at least one more start, Minnesota Vikings backup quarterback Carson Wentz carries some low-end Superflex potential this week against the Cleveland Browns. The veteran has a rough draw, however, as he'll be taking on one of the top defensive lines in football with a patchwork offensive line. Minnesota will play with backup linemen at […]

Tough Task For Jordan Mason In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason is facing a brutal matchup in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns, but has enough command over his team's backfield to still be considered a low-end RB2. The Browns have allowed the fewest yards per carry of any team in the NFL, and the Vikings will meet them without […]

Zavier Scott A High-Risk Bet After Breakout Game

Following his best game in the NFL, Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott is a risky RB4/Flex option heading into a matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The former Maine standout is a converted wide receiver who caught six passes and a touchdown last week, showing his fantasy appeal and making him a hot waiver commodity. […]

Even In Bad Circumstances, Justin Jefferson Is A Must-Start

The Minnesota Vikings are going through it right now, but wide receiver Justin Jefferson still should be locked into starting lineups when his team plays the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. Due to a rash of injuries, the Vikings will play the game without their starters at quarterback, left guard, center, right tackle, and a […]
