Mike Davis Salvages Day With Touchdown Run

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis carried the ball 18 times for 52 yards and a score while hauling in two receptions for just three receiving yards. Davis came out of the gate running well, with eight carries for 40 yards, but it was tough sledding the rest of the way, as the Chicago defense […]

Teddy Bridgewater Struggles In Loss To Bears

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed 16 of 29 passes for 216 yards and two interceptions in a 23-16 loss to the Bears. It was Bridgewater's worst outing this season by far, as he was inaccurate throughout much of the contest, including a late, game-sealing interception where he missed a wide-open D.J. Moore. Bridgewater was […]

Buccaneers Defense Not A Great Option Against Packers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense faces their toughest test yet in Week 6. They'll go up against a red-hot Aaron Rodgers and the league's highest-scoring offense, the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers who play in leagues that penalize defenses for points scored will want to avoid Tampa Bay this week. Green Bay has also had […]

Ryan Succop Faces Tough Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop faces a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. Succop took advantage of a favorable matchup against the Bears last week, making all four field-goals and an extra-point. It won't be so easy this week, as the Packers have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game […]

Cameron Brate A Low-End TE2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate gets a tough Week 6 date with the Packers. Green Bay has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends and has yet to allow a touchdown to the position. Brate was out-snapped by fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has held him off in terms of […]

Rob Gronkowski A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will face off with the Packers in Week 6. Green Bay has been a tricky matchup for opposing tight ends, as they've allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Gronkowski saw the same amount of targets as fellow tight end Cameron Brate in Week 5, […]

Leave Leonard Extremely Risky In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will be a game-time decision for his team's Week 6 contest against the Packers. Fournette was active last week despite not being able to practice, so one would expect him to suit up this week after being limited in practice for three straight sessions. Even if he […]

Ronald Jones II A Solid RB2 In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II gets a favorable matchup against the Packers in Week 6. Green Bay has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing backs, though their rating is a bit deceptive. The Packers have actually allowed the ninth-fewest rushing yards compared to the sixth-most receiving yards per game to opposing […]

Tom Brady Has Upside Against Packers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will face the Packers and their high-octane offense in Week 6. Green Bay comes into the contest scoring a league-high 38 points per game while allowing 25.3 per game. In short, they've found themselves in a lot of shootouts, which bodes well for Tom Brady, who is coming off […]

Christian McCaffrey Likely Out Until Week 8

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) will likely be out until Week 8. ESPN's David Newton reports that the All-Pro running back wasn't activated off of injured reserve this week and that he's unlikely to play in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. Week 6 will be McCaffrey's fourth game missed- this would […]

Panthers Defense A Low-End Option

The Carolina Panthers Defense will take on the Chicago Bears in Week 6. Chicago has been a decent matchup for opposing defenses, as they rank 18th in fantasy points allowed. The Panthers haven't allowed more than 21 points in their last three games and have picked up five sacks, four fumble recoveries and two interceptions. […]

Joey Slye A Must-Start In Week 6

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is in a great spot to succeed in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Slye has made nine field-goals and six extra-points in his last three games and faces a Bears Defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. There may not be very many points scored […]

Ian Thomas Should Not Be Started

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas should not be started in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Thomas has five catches for 30 yards and a touchdown, not in one game, but for the whole entire season. He's seen just 10 targets all year and five of those came in one contest. There's just not […]

Curtis Samuel Not Seeing Enough Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel will be hard to trust in a difficult matchup with the Chicago Bears in Week 6. Samuel has been pretty efficient this year on limited looks, as he's hauled in 19 of 23 targets for 183 receiving yards. That's the problem though- he's only seen 23 targets to Robby […]

D.J. Moore A High-End WR3 Against Chicago

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore faces a tough test in Week 6 against the Bears. Chicago has surrendered the second-fewest fantasy points to enemy wideouts, though they've allowed the sixth-most targets. While Moore has taken a backseat to fellow receiver Robby Anderson, this certainly doesn't mean he's finished as a fantasy asset. His 37 […]

Robby Anderson More Of A WR2 In Tough Matchup

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson has earned the benefit of the doubt as a must-start option in fantasy football. Anderson is currently tied for sixth in the NFL in targets with 46 and has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in three of five games this season. With three double-digit target games under his belt, the […]

Mike Davis A Must-Start Against Bears

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis takes on the Bears in Week 6. It's a mini-revenge game for Davis, who played in seven games for Chicago in 2019. The veteran should have the keys to Carolina's backfield for one more week, considering Christian McCaffrey (ankle) wasn't able to practice Wednesday and is looking doubtful at […]

Teddy Bridgewater Faces Tough Matchup In Week 6

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater gets a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Bears. Bridgewater has been playing good football lately, with at least 250 passing yards and two touchdowns in two consecutive games. Chicago presents a difficult obstacle though, as they've allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers, in addition […]

Saints Defense Records Three Sacks Against Chargers

The New Orleans Saints Defense didn't look particularly impressive in a 30-27 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. New Orleans recorded three sacks, though they couldn't get to Chargers signal-caller Justin Herbert enough to create any turnovers. This unit is surrendering more points than anyone thought they would, though they are dealing with some injuries. […]

Wil Lutz Makes Game-Winning Field Goal In Overtime

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made three field goals on Monday night, including the eventual game-winning kick in overtime to help lead his team to a 30-27 victory. Lutz is a perfect 9-for-9 on field goals and 18 of 18 on extra points and has been about as dependable as a kicker can be. […]

Jared Cook Returns With Touchdown Catch

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook saw just three targets but made them count, hauling in two of them for 52 receiving yards and a touchdown. Cook beat the Chargers Defense for a 41-yard score that tied the game up at 20. It's possible that the Saints were easing him back into things, as […]

Tre'Quan Smith Held Under 10 Receiving Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith was targeted just three times and caught two of them for eight receiving yards. Smith had a big opportunity in front of him over the last few weeks, but he was essentially leapfrogged by Emmanuel Sanders in terms of usage. To be fair, Smith had a big, two-touchdown […]

Emmanuel Sanders Posts Season-High 12 Catches, 122 Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders caught 12 of 14 targets for 122 receiving yards in a 30-27 victory over the Chargers. Sanders' stats were all season-highs and it could have been an even bigger day, as he was tackled at the one-yard line. It's his biggest statistical output since, ironically enough, his huge […]

Latavius Murray Picks Up 57 Scrimmage Yards In Week 5

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray carried the ball eight times for 34 rushing yards and caught both targets for 23 receiving yards in a win over the Chargers. Murray has now exceeded 50 scrimmage yards in three of five games, along with two touchdowns. The veteran back has looked good this year and […]

Alvin Kamara Tops 100 Scrimmage Yards Against Chargers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara exceeded 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth consecutive game in a 30-27 win over the Chargers. Kamara picked up 45 rushing yards on 11 carries and caught eight of 10 targets for 74 receiving yards, including a juggling, 28-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that led to […]

Drew Brees Throws For 325 Yards With Two Scores

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 33 of 47 passes for 325 yards with a touchdown throw and a rushing score along with one interception in a victory Monday night. It certainly wasn't pretty at times, as Brees looked shaky and inaccurate throughout the night, though he was good when he needed to be. […]

Falcons Defense Has Quiet Game Against Carolina

The Atlanta Falcons Defense didn't do much for fantasy purposes in a Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Fortunately, Atlanta surrendered their lowest point total of the season, 23, but failed to impact the game much more than that. The unit failed to register a sack or interception, with their lone statistical contribution coming […]

Younghoe Koo Returns With Strong Game

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo returned from injury and enjoyed a strong game in a Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Koo made all three field-goal attempts, including a long of 54 yards, and made his lone extra-point attempt of the game. The 26-year-old has made at least two field-goals in every game this […]

Hayden Hurst Finishes Second On Team In Targets

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught two of six targets for eight receiving yards in a 23-16 loss to the Panthers. Hurst was disappointing, as he failed to make any real impact in this game, despite the opportunities given to him. The 27-year-old hasn't been the every-week starting option he was hoped to be, […]

Olamide Zaccheaus Catches Just One Pass

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had a quiet day in a 23-16 Week 5 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Zaccheaus saw four targets, but hauled in just one catch in a disappointing game. The 23-year-old benefitted from the absence of Julio Jones (hamstring) in Week 4 en route to 86 receiving yards on eight […]
