Sony Michel Posts 113 Total Yards In Win Over Giants

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 22 times for 86 yards and added two receptions for 27 yards in the team's 35-14 win over the Giants. It was the type of game tailored for Michel, and the second-year back only posted a modest fantasy score. His 3.9 yards per carry certainly […]

Tom Brady Rushes For Two Scores In TNF Victory

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 31 of 41 passes for 334 yards, two rushing touchdowns and one interception in the Patriots Week 6 victory over the Giants. Brady was solid, not spectacular, punching in two one-yard dives for touchdowns. The future Hall Of Fame player did not find the end zone with his […]

Patriots Defense Scores Two Touchdowns In Win

The New England Patriots Defense recovered a fumble for a touchdown and returned a blocked punt for another score in the team's 35-14 win over the Giants. The unit also picked off Giants quarterback Daniel Jones three times in another impressive effort. Patriots special teamer Chase Winovich recovered a deflected punt for a six-yard touchdown, […]

Aldrick Rosas Makes His Extra Points

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made both of his extra points on Thursday night but wasn’t called on for anything else. He simply isn’t usable with the Giants offense so banged up, but thanks for reading this late-night kicker blurb.

Giants Defense Runs Out Of Gas On Thursday Night

The New York Giants Defense came to play early in Thursday’s game, but they weren't done any favors by their offense. In the second quarter, the Giants defense sacked Brady and returned the ensuing fumble for a touchdown to tie the game at 14; yet, Daniel Jones and Co. kept consistently turning the ball over […]

Rhett Ellison Starts At Tight End For Giants

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison started for Evan Engram (knee) on Thursday night, making three catches for 23 yards on his seven targets, four of which came on the final drive in garbage time. Even if he sees more starts as Engram recovers from a knee injury, Ellison won’t be usable unless Saquon […]

Darius Slayton Runs As Giants Second Receiver

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was second on the Giants in targets despite Cody Latimer being announced as the starter opposite Golden Tate. Latimer only saw one target, but Slayton also couldn't do much against the Patriots' tough defense. The rookie collected three catches for 32 yards on his eight targets. Slayton is […]

Golden Tate Stars For Giants On Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate was the focus of the Giants offense on Thursday night, securing six catches for 102 yards and a touchdown. Tate was really the only healthy wide receiver the team had, so his involvement was no surprise. His touchdown catch showed that he still has big-play ability, but he’s […]

Jonathan Hilliman Fails To Deliver in Start

New York Giants running back Jonathan Hilliman failed to deliver in his first career NFL start. Filling in for both Wayne Gallman (concussion) and Saquon Barkley (ankle), Hilliman plodded his way to 38 yards on 11 carries, while adding -3 yards on two catches. The undrafted free agent fumbled on one of those catches, leading […]

Daniel Jones Has A Night To Forget

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a predictably tough game against the Patriots on Thursday night. In rainy conditions, up against the league’s top defense, Jones completed only 15 of 31 passes for 161 yards, over a third of which came on his touchdown connection to Golden Tate. Jones also threw three interceptions. The […]

Patriots Hoping Rob Gronkowski Returns

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said on Thursday on NFL Network that he's still hoping that tight end Rob Gronkowski will unretire and rejoin the team this year. "We all love Gronk, and I think the bottom line is he hasn’t put his retirement papers in. So we can always pray and hope," Kraft […]

Chris Carson Added To Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (shoulder) was added to the Week 6 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday. Carson was available to reporters after practice, though, which is something the Seahawks typically won't allow with players whose statuses are in question. That means Carson should be fine for Week 6 against […]

Julio Jones Limited In Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The veteran is often listed with some time of injury as the season wears on, but he usually plays through it and remains productive. Jones has been uncharacteristically quiet in recent weeks, but he's set up perfectly […]

Cardinals Want To Get Andy Isabella More Involved

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella continues to work hard, and the team's plan is to get him more involved. The team's second-round pick only played nine offensive snaps with both Christian Kirk and Damiere Byrd sidelined in Week 5, and he hasn't been targeted in the passing […]

Dalvin Cook Is A Rock-Solid RB1 In Week 6

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is averaging 108.4 rushing yards/game and 5.9 yards per carry through five weeks. He also has five rushing touchdowns and has seen at least five targets in three consecutive games - you're starting him as your RB1 in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Expectations should be slightly tempered, […]

Stefon Diggs Has WR2 Potential Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has had a rough start to the season as he has totaled just one touchdown and one game with over 50 receiving yards. The Philadelphia Eagles and their forgiving secondary await in Week 6, and Diggs should be able to take advantage of potential matchups with Orlando Scandrick and […]

Packers Defense A Great Streaming Option This Week

The Green Bay Packers Defense is a great streaming option this week against the Detroit Lions at home. The Packers have been a constant threat this season on defense, with their improved pass rush forcing quarterbacks to make poor decisions in the pocket. The Packers secondary unit has also vastly improved since last season. With a […]

Vance McDonald Out Again Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. McDonald may have aggravated something after suiting up in Week 5. He still has a day to get back into practice, but his status is looking up in the air for Sunday night against the Chargers. With his health […]

Mason Crosby An Effective Starter This Week Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby should be an effective starter for his matchup against the Detroit Lions. Crosby has only missed one kick all season, which was from long distance. The Packers offense has needed to call upon their veteran kicker when their offense has stalled in the opposition's half this season and are […]

Redskins Planning To Ride Adrian Peterson?

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan doesn't think running back Adrian Peterson has gotten into a rhythm so far this year. It sounds as though the Redskins plan on giving the ball to the veteran more in Week 6 against the Dolphins. Peterson has just done nothing in four games this year, attempting 40 […]

Jimmy Graham An Effective Tight End Option Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham could prove to be an effective starting tight end option in his matchup against the Detroit Lions. Graham struggled in the early part of the season to get involved in the offense, but has been targeted 12 times in the past two weeks. The Lions are one of […]

Tre'Quan Smith Looking Unlikely For Week 6

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Smith aggravated his ankle in Week 5 and looks unlikely to play in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The second-year wideout is off the fantasy radar at least until Drew Brees (thumb) returns. He has five catches for 75 yards […]

Alvin Kamara Added To Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) found his way onto the Week 6 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday. It's not idea to have a high-end RB1 enter the injury report in the middle of the week, but until we know more consider this just a minor blip on the […]

Raiders Cut J.J. Nelson, Sign Marcell Ateman

The Oakland Raiders cut wide receiver J.J. Nelson on Thursday and re-signed receiver Marcell Ateman, according to a source. Nelson struggled with injuries in Oakland and had four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown in his one game played this season. Ateman will become receiver depth in the absence of Nelson. He won't be […]

Aaron Rodgers Limited In Practice With Knee Injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was added to the Week 6 injury report on Thursday with a knee injury. While it's likely that Rodgers plays against the Detroit Lions, it is worth considering his outlook with lead receiver Davante Adams (toe) looking likely to miss the game. If Rodgers is unable to move around freely, […]

Albert Wilson Limited This Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) has been limited in practices on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Wilson aggravated his calf in the season opener and hasn't played since, although he had the bye week to heal up and could return in Week 6 against the Redskins in a nice matchup. Wilson figures […]

Case Keenum Practicing In Full This Week

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) has practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday of this week. After being benched in Week 4 and then being replaced by Colt McCoy last week, the Redskins seem to be leaning towards going back to Keenum for a winnable Week 6 matchup with the Dolphins. You can't trust […]

Geronimo Allison Could Be A Flex Option Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison could be an effective flex option this week against the Detroit Lions, but only if Davante Adams (toe) misses the game. Allison continued to operate out of the slot for the Packers against the Dallas Cowboys when Adams wasn't in the lineup last week. While the Lions have been […]

Alvin Kamara Poised for Huge Game Against Jaguars

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara could have a huge day against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6. Kamara comes into the game leading the team in rushing attempts and ranking second behind wide receiver Michael Thomas in targets. Despite having only two total touchdowns on the season (both in one game), Kamara again […]

Brandin Cooks Expected To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) has been asymptomatic for a concussion this week and is expected to play in Week 6 against the 49ers, according to head coach Sean McVay. The Rams should have their full array of receivers available in this big divisional matchup. Cooks has been the most hit or […]
