Chase Claypool Inactive For Week 6

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 6 versus the Carolina Panthers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former second-round pick was acquired by Miami less than two weeks ago. He was inactive last week, too, though that was due to the fact that Claypool hadn't been afforded enough […]

Deshaun Watson Has Deep Rotator Cuff Contusion, Could Return Week 7

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a deep rotator cuff contusion, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Watson missed Week 4, was on bye in Week 5, and will be inactive again in Week 6. While the 28-year-old has a legitimate chance to return in Week 7 versus the Colts, Schefter points out […]

The Detroit Lions are "planning for" tight end Sam LaPorta (calf) to be active on Sunday afternoon versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per ESPN's Jeff Darlington.

Eagles Place Quez Watkins On Injured Reserve, Activate Nakobe Dean

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve.

It appears he has re-injured his hamstring, though, and will now miss at […]

Anthony Richardson "Strongly Considering" Season-Ending Surgery

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) "is strongly considering season-ending shoulder surgery on his damaged AC joint," according to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

De'Von Achane Expected To Miss Four Games

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (knee) is expected to miss just four games, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is expected to start in Week 6 but could be on a short leash, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Chad Ryland Not On Fantasy Radar In Week 6

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland can be avoided in fantasy leagues ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

Patriots Defense Tough To Trust In Week 6

The New England Patriots defense is not a very trustworthy option for fantasy football in Week 6. Though a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders could be tempting for fantasy managers, there are two factors that serve as deterrents. First, the Patriots' defense has endured its fair share of struggles already, and that was before […]

Hunter Henry Drops To TE2 Tier For Week 6

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is difficult to trust in fantasy football ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

DeVante Parker Lacks Upside In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker lacks big-play upside and should be avoided in fantasy football as he faces the Las Vegas Raiders. While Vegas' secondary is suspect at best, Parker's age and role in the struggling New England offense have limited his production this season. Despite playing a whopping 98 percent of snaps […]

Kendrick Bourne Only Has Appeal In Deep Leagues

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has low-end fantasy appeal heading into Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots' offense has been terrible lately, but perhaps clashes with the Jets, Cowboys, and Saints made New England look worse than it actually is. A matchup with the mediocre-at-best Raiders could give the Patriots […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has Low Floor In Week 6

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is difficult to trust in fantasy football leagues ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.
