Patriots Defense Has Top-12 Upside In Week 5

The New England Patriots D/ST is a borderline top-12 option heading into Week 5 versus the New Orleans Saints. While the Patriots' defense is no longer the elite unit that it once was, it bears mentioning that New England drew a tough start to the season with games against the Eagles, Dolphins, and Cowboys. The […]

Chad Ryland Not A Strong Option For Week 5

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland can be left on fantasy football waivers for Week 5. The Patriots are looking to bounce back against the New Orleans Saints, and while they could absolutely do so, that doesn't guarantee success for Ryland. The rookie kicker is 5-for-5 on extra points but just 4-for-7 on field goals […]

Hunter Henry A Fringe Option Versus Saints

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is a borderline top-12 fantasy option heading into his Week 5 clash with the New Orleans Saints. Henry has quieted down since exploding over the first two weeks of the season, but he has still played well. Just last week, when it seemed like nothing went right for […]

Ezekiel Elliott Unlikely To Have Fantasy Appeal In Week 5

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is not a reliable fantasy football option heading into Week 5 versus the New Orleans Saints. For the most part, he has struggled to get things going on the ground this season. That includes last Sunday when Elliott, who was supposed to see a larger workload, mustered just […]

Mac Jones Not Worth Starting In Single-QB Leagues

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is not a reliable fantasy starter heading into Week 5 versus the New Orleans Saints. While the third-year signal-caller flashed potential back in Week 1, he has come down to earth since that. In fact, versus the Cowboys last Sunday, Jones completed just 12 of 21 passes, threw two […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Added To Injury Report, Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Friday after practicing in a limited capacity. He is officially listed as questionable for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers. It remains to be seen whether Gibbs' injury is minor or if he suffered an ailment of greater severity on Friday. […]

Jameson Williams, Josh Reynolds Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (non-injury) and Josh Reynolds (groin) are both listed as questionable for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers despite practicing in a full capacity. Williams is returning from a suspension, so while he's not injured, it appears the Lions aren't ready to remove him from the injury report until he […]

Derek Carr Questionable For Week 5, Expected To Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 5. However, Saints insider Mike Triplett reports that Carr "seems almost certain to play" after practicing in a limited capacity. It's also worth noting that the veteran quarterback was a game-time decision last week and managed to play. At this rate, […]

Juwan Johnson Not Playing In Week 5

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) has officially been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the New England Patriots. This comes as no surprise after Johnson missed all three practices this week. Foster Moreau (ankle) and Jimmy Graham will operate as the Saints' top tight ends for the duration of Johnson's absence, […]

Jonathan Taylor Questionable To Play In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was a full participant in practice this week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. Taylor is still on the PUP list, but if he's activated, that will be a very strong indication that the team expects him to play. Tennessee has a solid […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Questionable For Week 5

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He was limited in practice all week long. The fact that Stevenson was able to practice in some capacity is great news, though we might not get official clarification on his status until Sunday morning. Given […]

He also hauled in two of three targets for an additional 10 yards through the air. The Patriots lost by a score of 38-3, falling to 1-3 on the season. Stevenson's relative struggles were […]

Hunter Henry Remains Top Pass-Catcher In Week 4

Biggest Fantasy Football Busts of the Week - Fantasy Outlooks for Joe Burrow, Raheem Mostert, Chris Olave, T.J. Hockenson

The fourth Sunday of the 2023 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went. However, this week's slate of games was certainly stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers. Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved […]

Tee Higgins Fractures Rib, Could Miss Time

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rib) was diagnosed with a rib fracture following Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The injury "could keep him off the field for a bit," per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Assuming Higgins misses extended time, Tyler Boyd would operate as the Bengals' No. 2 wide receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase. […]

Tank Dell Catches Just One Pass In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell hauled in just one of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie was unable to build on a big Week 3, instead being overshadowed by impressive games from Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz. Although Collins has cemented himself as Houston's top wide […]

Dalton Schultz Scores Touchdown In Week 4 Win

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz hauled in all three of his targets for 42 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game was his best as a member of the Texans and also featured his first touchdown with the team. He should be viewed as a mid-to-high TE2 going […]

Nico Collins Explodes For Two Touchdowns Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins turned nine targets into seven catches, 168 yards, and two touchdowns in a big Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Outside of a quiet Week 3, Collins has been one of the biggest steals in fantasy football this season. He has cemented himself as a weekly WR2 option, […]

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce rushed 24 times for 81 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. He also caught a 27-yard pass.

Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 16 of 30 passes for 306 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions in a big Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also rushed for 16 yards. The Texans' offense has scored 67 points over the last two weeks and Stroud has been a major reason why. […]

Tre'Davious White Ruled Out With Achilles Injury

Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White (Achilles) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 4 versus the Miami Dolphins. White's injury was of the non-contact variety and required him to be carted to the locker room. The 28-year-old logged three tackles in each of his four games this season and has been a steady […]

Kenny Pickett Ruled Out Sunday, Mitch Trubisky Enters

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 4 versus the Houston Texans.
