Demarcus Robinson Has Flex Appeal in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson should find himself in a productive week with the Chiefs banged up at receiver. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is questionable to play after missing the last month. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is doubtful after missing practice all week. It could be Mecole Hardman and Robinson suiting up as the main […]

Mecole Hardman Could Be No. 2 Option in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has found a way to have fantasy value this season with the team having banged-up receivers. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is questionable to suit up in this one after missing the last month. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is doubtful after missing practice all week. Hardman would suit up as the […]

Travis Kelce is Looking at Elite Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been one of the most consistent fantasy players throughout the season. He had a fairly average game last week, but managed to haul in four of his 10 targets for 70 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Colts. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is questionable […]

Wil Lutz A Good Option Against Jacksonville

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6. Lutz has gone 11-for-12 on field goals and 10-for-11 on extra points. Playing in one of the more high-scoring offenses in the league, it makes sense that he's relatively busy every week. He could be even more so in Week 6 against […]

Paul Richardson A Fantasy Long Shot In Week 6

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson has had one solid fantasy outing: an eight-catch, 83-yard game capped off with a touchdown in Week 3. He has failed to eclipse 20 receiving yards in three of his other four games, and one of those came in a week when Terry McLaurin was inactive. Case Keenum did […]

Chris Thompson Facing Favorable Week 6 Matchup

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson has been the one constant in a volatile offense this season. No matter how bad things have gotten, Thompson has seen at least five targets in every game and is averaging an even seven. He trails only Terry McLaurin for the overall team lead on a per-game basis. Moreover, […]

Latavius Murray Will Play On Sunday

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray missed practice for a personal reason and will play on Sunday. The 29-year-old has averaged 3.9 yards per carry on 24 rushing attempts this season and has caught six of seven targets. He could see an increased role on Sunday. Murray was given at least 15 touches in […]

Peyton Barber Not An Appealing Week 6 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber will have an easier matchup in Week 6 than he did in Week 5 with the Carolina Panthers on deck, but fantasy owners may want to look around for other options. Barber's value is solely tied to touchdowns, and he has scored in two consecutive games, but trusting […]

Adrian Peterson: Now Or Never Against Dolphins

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson finally has a matchup he can take advantage of in the Miami Dolphins for Week 6. The Dolphins have played one fewer game than most of the league, yet they come into this week having given up the third-most total rushing yards to opposing backs. They're giving up 153.75 […]

Jeremy Sprinkle In Line For Starting TE Work

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle will have his second chance to produce in a starting role with Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis set to miss Week 6. He didn't make much of his first such opportunity last week, though it's worth noting his opponent in that contest was the Patriots. Sprinkle's next opponent is […]

Ronald Jones II Could Bounce Back In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II disappointed fantasy owners in Week 5 and will look to get back on track against a porous Carolina Panthers run defense in Week 6. Jones had started to establish himself as the lead back in a messy Bucs backfield, only to receive just one more touch than […]

Terry McLaurin Back On The Fantasy Map

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin will have Case Keenum throwing him the ball again on Sunday, which bodes well for the former's fantasy outlook. McLaurin has reached double-digit fantasy points and scored a touchdown in each of the three games both he and Keenum started. The Dolphins have given up an average of 15 […]

Alvin Kamara Listed As Questionable For Week 6

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is questionable for Week 6 against Jacksonville. The third-year pro missed practice Friday after a DNP on Wednesday and a limited practice on Thursday. Kamara likely would be on a stricter snap count if he plays on Sunday. Still, fewer backs are more involved than he is […]

Giants Cut Jonathan Hilliman, Sign Javorius Allen

The New York Giants waived running back Jonathan Hilliman on Friday and signed free-agent running back Javorius Allen in a corresponding move. Hilliman had his first career NFL start on Thursday night against the Patriots with both Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) out. He responded with 11 carries for 38 yards. Buck Allen […]

Benny Snell Jr. Worthy Of A Stash

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. will back up James Conner for the near future while Jaylen Samuels (knee) recovers from surgery. With a matchup against the LA Chargers on Sunday night, Snell won't likely get many touches except to rest Conner. However, if you're the Conner owner in your league, it's best to […]

James Conner Due For Heavy Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is expected to receive a high quantity of touches in Sunday night's game with the LA Chargers. With Mason Rudolph (concussion) expected to miss and Jaylen Samuels (knee) out for a month, there aren't many other options on offense. Conner hasn't exactly lived up to his high-draft capital this […]

Devlin Hodges To Make First Career Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges will start Sunday night's game against the LA Chargers. The team announced Friday that Mason Rudolph (concussion) will not play after the scary hit he took last Sunday. Hodges, the rookie from Samford, completed seven of nine passes for 68 yards in backup duty against the Ravens in Week 5. […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Returns To Full Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf, hamstring) practiced in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday. The Packers will surely need Valdes-Scantling active on Monday night against the Lions with Davante Adams (toe) not expected to play for the second straight week. MVS didn't take advantage last week against the Cowboys, catching […]

Rams Defense An Iffy Play

The Los Angeles Rams Defense has a midrange matchup against the San Francisco 49ers this week. The Niners have allowed just four sacks, but they've thrown four picks and lost four fumbles in as many games. The Rams defense has underperformed this season, but if your waiver wire doesn't have a great one-week play, the […]

Tyler Higbee A Combustible Option This Week

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is facing a difficult matchup against the San Francisco 49ers this week, and he has been pretty quiet since returning from a bruised lung. In the meantime, tight end Gerald Everett has averaged the sixth-most fantasy points per game at the position over the last three weeks. Both […]

Tre'Quan Smith Ruled Out For Week 6

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6 against Jacksonville. Smith re-injured his ankle in Week 5 and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. The 23-year-old only tallied five receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown and his best game came back in Week 1 when […]

Gerald Everett Worth The Start

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett is worth lineup consideration this week despite a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners have allowed 14 catches for 87 yards and a score to tight ends in four games this season. However, the Rams are likely to be without running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps), […]

KeeSean Johnson Will Test Your Luck

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson will likely have another opportunity to step up in Week 6 against the worst defense at defending the position in the Atlanta Falcons. Johnson had seven targets last week with running back David Johnson (back) limited and wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) out. Both are game-time calls this week. […]

George Kittle Gets A Questionable Tag

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 6 against the Rams. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan ultimately expects Kittle to play in this big divisional matchup. Keep an eye on the inactives for the late slate of games, but Kittle needs to be […]

Larry Fitzgerald Has A Great Matchup

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will have a fruitful matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the most fantasy points to the position the last three weeks. Fitz will be asked to carry a large role with running back David Johnson (back) and wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) game-time decisions. He was in […]

Demaryius Thomas A Question Mark For Week 6

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 6 against the Cowboys. Thomas had four catches on a healthy nine targets for 47 yards in Week 5. Quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) is making his return against Dallas, but Thomas is still hard to […]

Kyler Murray Rolling Into Week 6

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is 10th in the league in average fantasy points scored the last three weeks. His ground game is where he has excelled with 189 yards rushing and two touchdowns during those three games. He has thrown for 222.3 yards per game and has two touchdowns to three interceptions during the […]

Chris Carson Good To Go, Rashaad Penny Questionable

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (shoulder) was taken off the final injury report for Week 6 against the Browns, while backup Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Carson continues to carry the load for the team's backfield despite some fumbling issues to start the year. In a run-first offense against a vulnerable Cleveland […]

Chase Edmonds Worth A Flex Play

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds could see an increased share of the work in the backfield this week with running back David Johnson (back) a game-time decision. Johnson is expected to play, but he could be limited. Edmonds rushed eight times for 68 yards and a touchdown last week, and he tacked on three […]

Jalen Ramsey Not Expected To Play On Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back), who is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Saints after being limited in practice all week, is not expected to play on Sunday. It would be Ramsey's third straight missed game and hurt Jacksonville's chances of slowing down Saints No. 1 receiver Michael Thomas. If Ramsey is […]
