A.J. Brown Expected To Return Sunday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said he expects wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) to play in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he was out in the Week 4 overtime loss to the New York Jets. It's been trending this way all week with Brown returning to a full practice on Thursday. Veteran […]

Chase Edmonds Will Be Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (shoulder) will be a game-time decision in Week 5 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Edmonds did return to practice on Friday, though, so he has a shot at suiting up on Sunday. But if he's active and less than 100 percent, James […]

Dalvin Cook Could Be Game-Time Decision

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) is doing better, but he could still be a game-time decision in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. Cook is officially listed as questionable for the second straight week. The 26-year-old played through his ankle sprain in the Week 4 loss to […]

Christian McCaffrey Listed As Doubtful

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for the Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a bummer for fantasy managers after McCaffrey was trending toward a possible return after feeling good in practice all week. CMS is now on track to miss his second straight game with the Panthers […]

Gerald Everett Back With The Team

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Gerald Everett has been cleared from the league's COVID-19 list and is back with the team. Everett wasn't able to get cleared in time to play in the Thursday night loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. With Everett out in Week 5, Will Dissly […]

Dyami Brown Out For Week 5

Washington Football Team wide receivers Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) and right guard Brandon Scherff (knee) have all been ruled out for Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. Brown, a third-round rookie, has just five catches on 14 targets for 51 yards in his first four NFL games, and his opportunities are […]

Robby Anderson Tough To Fully Trust In Week 5

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson gets a matchup against a middle-of-the-road Eagles secondary in Week 5. Anderson has been a fantasy disappointment this year, as he has failed to exceed 50 yards in all but one game, a contest where he caught one pass for 57 yards. Fortunately, the 28-year-old did see 11 targets […]

Antonio Gibson, Curtis Samuel Questionable For Week 5

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) are both questionable for Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. After getting in some practice time this week, Gibson should be able to suit up this Sunday. But he'll face a tough matchup against New Orleans' strong defensive line, making […]

D.J. Moore A Trustworthy WR1 Against Eagles

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore will get a beatable Eagles secondary in Week 5. Moore has been the alpha wideout fantasy managers envisioned when they drafted him, as the 24-year-old has seen double-digit targets in three straight games while rattling off receiving yardage totals of 79, 126, and 113. Maryland product will face off […]

Teddy Bridgewater Expected To Play Against Steelers

The expectation is that Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) will clear the league's concussion protocol and practice in full on Friday, according to a source. Barring a setback in practice on Friday, Bridgewater is expected to be fully cleared to play in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's great news for the Broncos […]

Bengals Will Decide On Joe Mixon On Saturday

The Cincinnati Bengals will take a look at running back Joe Mixon (ankle) on Saturday and decide on his status for Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Mixon missed his third straight day of practice on Friday, which is usually never a good sign, but he's only dealing with a low ankle sprain and […]

Sam Darnold Should Keep Rolling Against Eagles

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has a good chance to keep rolling against the Eagles in Week 5. Darnold has been excellent through four weeks, as he has thrown for 1,189 yards with five passing touchdowns and five rushing scores while leading the Panthers to a 3-1 record. The former Jet will face an Eagles […]

Tee Higgins Will Play In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) has looked great in practice all week and will play in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins has been limited in practice all week and will return after a two-game absence. Despite the addition of first-round rookie pass-catcher Ja'Marr Chase, […]

Rob Gronkowski Won't Play Against Dolphins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that tight end Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) will not play in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. However, outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (hand, shoulder) and cornerback Jamel Dean (knee) will be active. Gronk will miss his second straight game after suffering some cracked ribs and a punctured […]

Nico Collins Won't Return Next Week

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins (shoulder) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve after the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots, but head coach David Culley said on Wednesday that Collins won't be ready to return next week. Collins played 55.1 percent of the offensive snaps in the season opener and […]

Mike Boone Close To A Return

Denver Broncos running back Mike Boone (quadriceps) is "real close" to returning, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Boone has looked good while practicing for the last two weeks, and there's still a chance that he could be activated from Injured Reserve before the Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, when he does […]

Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper Expected To Play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) are expected to play in Sunday's game against the Giants. Both Elliott and Cooper missed Wednesday's practice but took the field Thursday and came out of the session without a setback, per head coach Mike McCarthy. The talented offensive weapons are now […]

Joe Mixon Absent From Friday's Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) was not spotted during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media. Mixon, who has been dealing with a low-ankle sprain, has yet to take the practice field this week- and another 'DNP' would have him looking doubtful for Sunday's matchup with Green Bay. If Mixon sits […]

DeVante Parker Could Be Game-Time Decision

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring) is battling multiple injuries and could be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers. Parker has been listed on the injury report each week with a shoulder ailment but has played through it- though his hamstring issue is a new one he recently developed. The […]

Javonte Williams Ready For A Bigger Role?

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams had a season-low seven carries for 48 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens when the Broncos only ran the ball four times in the second half. Williams has been in a near-even timeshare with Melvin Gordon III (leg), who is expected to play in […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Will Attempt To Practice Friday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) will take the practice field Friday, per head coach Kyle Shanahan. Garoppolo hasn't practiced yet this week but will give it a go Friday, with Shanahan noting that the team wants to see how well he can step into his throws. If the veteran signal-caller looks good, he'll […]

Broncos Defense A Strong Option Against Steelers

The Denver Broncos defense has been a top-15 fantasy unit through the first four weeks of the season with star pass-rusher Von Miller (4.5 sacks) healthy once again. However, three of their four games were against bottom-feeders in the NFL -- Giants, Jaguars, Jets. It's a big reason why they've allowed the second-fewest points (49) […]

T.J. Hockenson Improving, Has Chance To Play Sunday

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is improving and has a chance to play Sunday against the Vikings, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Hockenson's knee injury kept him off the practice field Wednesday- though his return to limited participation the following day has the arrow pointing upward on his status for […]

Brandon McManus Hard To Trust With Uncertain QB Situation

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has one of the strongest legs in the league and enters a Week 5 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers as the No. 7 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points. However, he's an extremely shaky streaming option for this weekend with Denver's quarterback situation up in the air. The Broncos […]

Melvin Gordon III Expected To Play In Week 5

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (leg) is likely to play in Sunday's game against the Steelers. Gordon has been dealing with a lower leg contusion, which kept him off the practice field Wednesday- though he was able to participate in a limited fashion Thursday. It sounds as though the veteran, who toughed out […]

Noah Fant Has A Tough Task In Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant will be facing a Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 5 that has allowed just over five fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. The good news, though, is that Fant should remain one of Denver's top targets with both wide receivers Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee) […]

Russell Wilson To Have MRI On Finger

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) will have an MRI on his injured finger Friday. X-rays showed no fracture in Wilson's finger, which he badly sprained against a Rams' player's helmet during Thursday night's loss, though the team will have him go for an MRI and then seek a consultation with a hand specialist. NFL […]

Tim Patrick Has Shaky Flex Appeal Entering Week 5

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick remains undervalued after he led the Broncos in receiving in 2020. He started off strong with seven catches on eight targets for 76 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games of this season, but he had only three catches on six targets for 39 yards in the […]

Courtland Sutton Could Have Another Big Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton hasn't done much outside of his nine-catch, 159-yard performance in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he has yet to find the end zone in 2021. He should continue to be the team's top target with Jerry Jeudy (ankle) still out, even if quarterback Drew Lock […]

Pharaoh Brown Off The Fantasy Radar

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown faces a tough matchup in Week 5 against New England. Brown still has yet to repeat his solid Week 1 production- five catches for 67 yards- as he has just one catch for six yards in his last two games combined. Not only is Brown sharing playing time with […]
