Antonio Gibson Misses Practice Wednesday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Gibson has been dealing with this injury since last week, so it doesn't seem to be something that will prevent him from playing. Although a DNP isn't ideal, his workload on Thursday and Friday will likely determine his status for […]

Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon To Be Leaned On More?

Denver Broncos running backs Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III could see themselves being relied upon more as the offense will look to establish a strong running game. With Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) potentially out for some time, Williams and Gordon will be relied upon to carry the load in his absence. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur […]

Tavien Feaster Signs With Cardinals Practice Squad

The Arizona Cardinals have signed running back Tavien Feaster to their practice squad after he was one of their final cuts at camp. With Eno Benjamin (hamstring) dealing with an injury, this is likely purely a depth move for the backfield. Feaster serves as some solid insurance, as James Conner has struggled to stay healthy […]

Josh Gordon To Make Chiefs Debut Sunday Night

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Josh Gordon has been signed to the 53-man roster and will make his season debut on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills. Gordon enters the high-flying Chiefs offense led by Patrick Mahomes, as he is now one of the many weapons the superstar quarterback has at his disposal. The 30-year-old […]

Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell To Continue Splitting Time?

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell look like they will continue to be in a timeshare in the Philadelphia backfield moving forward, according to reporter Tim McManus. Sanders has not been all that impressive so far, as Gainwell outproduced him in Week 5 with 89 total yards and a touchdown to Sanders' […]

Khalil Herbert To Have Increased Role?

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert could be entering a more prominent role in the Chicago backfield with David Montgomery (knee) set to miss the next four to five weeks. With the recent acquisition of Jakeem Grant Sr., Herbert will likely give up kick return duties to him and focus more on a role as […]

Alvin Kamara’s Role Changing?

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was held without a target for the first time in his career in the Week 4 loss to the New York Giants. However, fantasy managers in PPR scoring formats shouldn't start panicking just yet. Head coach Sean Payton noted that the change in his usage was due to […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Traded To Chicago

The Chicago Bears have acquired wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round draft pick. Grant was buried on the depth chart behind Jaylen Waddle, DeVante Parker, Will Fuller, and Preston Williams, so he could see a bit more opportunity with his new team. Still, he shouldn't be […]

Elijah Moore To Be Cleared From Concussion Protocol

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) will soon be cleared from the NFL concussion protocol, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Moore is considered day-to-day, so he could have a chance to return to action in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie has been inconsistent in his first three games, so […]

Christian McCaffrey Will Attempt To Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) will try to give it a go at practice on Wednesday, in hopes of returning to the lineup in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Still, head coach Matt Rhule mentioned that this doesn't mean he will suit up on game day, but he is trending in the […]

Rashod Bateman, Miles Boykin Could Play In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Rashod Bateman (ankle) and Miles Boykin (hamstring) have a chance to play in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach John Harbaugh. It will depend on the progress they make in practice, but the Ravens' passing attack can get even more dangerous with the addition of the two […]

Matt Nagy Reiterates Andy Dalton Will Start When Healthy

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) has once again got the support of his head coach as the team's starting quarterback upon his return to the lineup. Justin Fields had a solid showing in Week 4, but it was still not enough to secure his role as the QB1 in Chicago. With this news, Allen […]

Patrick Surtain II Dodges Significant Injury

Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (chest) is not believed to have suffered a significant injury after exiting Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens early. This is great news for the Denver defense, as they have looked like one of the best units through the first four games of the regular season. His status this […]

Joe Mixon Diagnosed With Low-Grade Ankle Sprain

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) was diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain after exiting the team's Thursday night game early in Week 4. He is considered week to week, so fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as it is not something that will put him on the shelf for too long. […]

Damien Williams Dealing With Quad Injury

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (quad) suffered a quadriceps injury in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Detroit Lions. David Montgomery (knee) left the game early and did not return, so this is a situation to monitor if both players are unable to suit up in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Khalil Herbert […]

Washington Defense Allows 30 Points

The Washington Football Team defense once again had a rough outing against the Atlanta Falcons, but a DeAndre Carter 101-yard kickoff return salvaged a potential disastrous fantasy performance for the Washington D/ST. Moving forward, the defensive unit is no longer the reliable fantasy option that they were drafted to be. Unless they are facing a […]

Dustin Hopkins Makes One Field Goal, Misses Two XPs

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins was used sparingly in Week 4 and proved to be unreliable when called upon as he missed two extra-point attempts. Fantasy managers should likely start looking elsewhere if he is being relied upon in your starting lineup on a weekly basis. He has streaming appeal moving forward when bye […]

J.D. McKissic Scores Game-Winning Touchdown

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic found the end zone once again in Week 4, as he finished with 15 yards on the ground and an additional 44 yards through the air with a receiving touchdown. McKissic will continue to have FLEX-appeal in deeper leagues because of his role in the passing game, and […]

Taylor Heinicke Throws For 290 Yards In Win

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke completed 23-of-33 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns while adding another 43 yards on the ground in the 34-30 win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4. Heinicke has the look of a solid streaming option for fantasy managers looking to fill in for upcoming bye weeks or […]

Terry McLaurin Has Monster Game

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin had his best game of the season against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, finishing with six catches for 123 yards and two touchdowns. The 26-year-old got true WR1 usage in this game, as he led the team with 13 targets. McLaurin has shown throughout the early parts of […]

Antonio Gibson Finds The End Zone In Week 4

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson finished with 14 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4, while adding two receptions for 12 yards. He salvaged a potentially rough performance for fantasy managers with a two-yard touchdown run, so some more consistency as a ball-carrier could heighten his […]

Mike Gesicki - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Gesicki saw a season-high 12 targets that turned into 10 receptions for 86 yards in Week 3, but in Week 4 it may be tough for the 25-year-old to repeat these numbers. The Indianapolis Colts have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position, so Gesicki will need a ton of volume once […]

Kenny Golladay - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Even with Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard questionable to play in this one, the outlook for Golladay doesn't get any better considering he will likely be seeing a lot of Marshon Lattimore in this game. Golladay hasn't been used as a deep threat all that often to start his tenure with the Giants, which is surprising considering that is […]

DeAndre Hopkins - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Hopkins is in for all he can handle against Jalen Ramsey and the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. He is obviously one of the best receivers in the NFL and a must-start option on a weekly basis, but fantasy managers could be in for the second consecutive dud performance from the Arizona Cardinals’ No.1 wideout. […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

With McCaffrey set to miss Week 4 against the Cowboys, Hubbard is the shiny new toy for fantasy managers who were fortunate enough to get him on the waiver wire. The rookie entered the game in relief of the consensus No. 1 overall fantasy pick last Thursday night against the Houston Texans and looked impressive. […]

Damien Harris - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Harris struggled on the ground in Week 3 against the Saints as he finished with just six carries for 14 yards. Look away fantasy managers, because he could be in for a performance reminiscent of this one for a second consecutive week. When you think of nightmare matchups for a running back, the Tampa Bay […]

Saquon Barkley - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

After his Week 3 performance where he handled 22 touches and scored a touchdown for the first time since 2019, Barkley looks like he is back to or very close to his old self. However, he is in for another very hard matchup against the New Orleans Saints who have not been very nice to […]

Derek Carr - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carr has filled the stat sheet with passing yards to start off the season, as he has averaged 401 yards and two passing touchdowns per game. In Week 4, he is in for his toughest matchup of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers defense that held Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs to just 260 […]

Week 4 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint

Welcome back RotoBallers! As we head into Week 4 of the NFL season, we are approaching the time where getting off to a slow start can cross the line and get into "I may be digging too deep of a hole to climb out of " territory. It's more critical than ever to make the […]

Dustin Hopkins A Streaming Option In Week 4

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins has some streaming appeal in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons. Hopkins didn't attempt a field goal last week but has made six out of seven attempts in the first two weeks of the season. The 31-year-old should get some field goal opportunities in this game, and against a […]
