Aaron Rodgers Could Continue To Struggle Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could continue his struggle for fantasy owners this week against the Detroit Lions. Rodgers has had a disappointing start to the season for fantasy owners, partly due to surrounding injuries and partly due to the team having success on the ground and moving away from passing the ball. The […]

David Johnson Absent Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) wasn't seen at the open part of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Johnson battled through some back issues in the Week 5 win, but he's being evaluated this week and is in real danger at this point of missing Week 6's excellent matchup with the […]

Rex Burkhead Not Expected To Play Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is not expected to play on Thursday night against the Giants, according to a source. It would be Burkhead's second straight missed game. In a game that should feature positive game script nearly the entire contest against a Giants team that is injured all around, both Sony […]

Todd Gurley Up In The Air For Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley's (quadriceps) status is up in the air for Week 6 against the 49ers after he missed practice on Wednesday. The Rams were hinting on Wednesday that Malcolm Brown and rookie Darrell Henderson could be more involved this weekend, and it might be because Gurley will either miss the […]

A.J. Green To Be Limited Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) is expected to be limited in practice on Thursday for the first time since July 27. Finally some progress from Green, although he's still highly unlikely to make his season debut in Week 6 against the Ravens this Sunday. Green needs to be stashed in all leagues, as […]

Davante Adams Missing Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is not practicing on Thursday. It's not a good start to the practice week for Adams, who missed Week 5 with a mild case of turf toe. He'll be an extremely risky fantasy option again in Week 6 with the Packers facing the Lions on Monday night. […]

No Practice For Sammy Watkins Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Watkins was injured early in last Sunday night's loss to the Colts and never returned, and now he's in serious danger of missing Week 6 against the Texans. The good news for the Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes […]

Chris Herndon IV Out This Week

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring), who suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain while running routes last Friday, is out this week and likely next week, according to a source. Herndon's injury isn't believed to be major, so his absence isn't expected to be long. The Jets tight end was hoping to […]

Christian McCaffrey Expected To Play Sunday

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that running back Christian McCaffrey (back) is fully expected to practice on Friday and play on Sunday in London against the Buccaneers. Rivera also said a Wednesday off day to rest will be the new normal for the stud running back. McCaffrey should be in all fantasy lineups […]

DeSean Jackson Expected To Miss Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is expected to miss Week 6 against the Vikings, but he's hoping to play next week against the Cowboys, according to league sources. Jackson's current return window is believed to be between Week 7 and Week 9 against the Bears. Even when he does return, there's an expectation […]

Mason Rudolph Still Working Through Concussion Protocol

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) continues to work through the league's concussion protocol, and offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner said he's not sure who will start at quarterback on Sunday night against the Chargers. It's highly unlikely that Rudolph will get the go-ahead after a devastating head injury in Week 5, but the Steelers aren't […]

Marquise Brown Out Of Practice Again

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Brown's injury isn't believed to be serious, but he sat out for a large chunk of last week's game and hasn't practiced yet this week. You need to be making backup plans in case Brown misses practice again […]

Mark Andrews Returns To Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury -- Andrews had been playing through a foot injury prior -- but Andrews looks to be on track to suit up in Week 6 in a fine matchup with the Bengals. He could see […]

Rashard Higgins Back To Full Practice

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said that wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) took part in a full practice on Thursday. Higgins has been out since the season opener, but it looks like he has a chance to return in Week 6 against the Seahawks. The problem is that Antonio Callaway has returned from his […]

Vernon Davis Practicing Thursday

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) is practicing again on Thursday as he tries to get cleared from the league's concussion protocol. Davis is moving in the right direction but will still likely be questionable to play in Week 6 against the Dolphins. The veteran has caught only 10 passes for 123 yards and […]

T.J. Hockenson Practices In Full

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) practiced in full on Thursday in the part of practice open to the media. Hockenson is trending toward clearing the concussion protocol and playing in Week 6 on Monday night against the Packers after having last week's bye to rest up. However, Hockenson will be a risky […]

Bucs OC Says O.J. Howard's Time Is Coming

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said that tight end O.J. Howard's time is coming in the offense, but he wants it to happen naturally for the tight end. Through five weeks, Howard has a measly 11 catches on only 14 targets for 141 scoreless yards. Many fantasy owners assumed that Howard would break […]

Adam Thielen Sent Home Sick

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was sent home from practice with an illness on Thursday, according to sources. Thielen complained about the direction of the team's offense after their Week 4 loss and followed that up with seven catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 against the Giants. Thielen should be […]

Jaguars Defense Could Have Jalen Ramsey Back

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan thinks that cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) will return to action in Week 6 against the Saints after missing the last two games. Khan confirmed that he met with Ramsey this week and had a heart-to-heart with the star defender. Ramsey has a trade request on the table and saw a […]

Greg Olsen With A Promising Matchup In London

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen had one of his best performances of the season against Tampa Bay in Week 2, finishing with six receptions (nine targets) for 110 yards. With the Buccaneers Defense doing little to stop the pass in 2019, the ceiling is high for the veteran in the rematch between the two […]

Curtis Samuel Looks To Repeat Week 2 Performance

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel will look to get on track on Sunday against Tampa Bay. After some underwhelming games over the last few weeks, Samuel has a decent shot at getting some production against a Buccaneers Defense that ranks last in the league at defending the pass. The 23-year-old had his best performance […]

D.J. Moore Could Get More Looks In Week 6

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore could receive some extra attention from quarterback Kyle Allen in Week 6. With Christian McCaffrey (back) potentially missing Sunday's game in London against Tampa Bay, the 22-year-old could serve as the team's No. 1 option from an offensive standpoint. Regardless if McCaffrey plays, however, Moore can still make a […]

Keep An Eye On Reggie Bonnafon

Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon could see an expanded role on Sunday against Tampa Bay. With Christian McCaffrey (back) potentially unable to play, the 23-year-old may have his number called to serve as the team's No. 1 option against a Buccaneers Defense that has allowed just 69.8 yards per game to the run this […]

Kyle Allen Possibly Making Last Start

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen could be making his final start of the season in London against Tampa Bay. With Cam Newton (foot) potentially returning after the team's Week 7 bye, the 23-year-old could have one more shot to put up some efficient numbers before returning to a reserve role. In normal circumstances, Allen has […]

Jameis Winston A QB2 In Tough Week 6 Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put up a lackluster performance in Week 5, and with the Carolina Panthers on deck for Week 6, another middling effort could be on the horizon. The Panthers have allowed just 985 yards through the air this season and have sacked opposing quarterbacks 20 times. Winston will clearly have […]

Marvin Jones A Flex Option For Week 6

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones has a tough matchup on his hands in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers secondary had allowed just one 100-yard receiver through the first four weeks of the season before Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup eclipsed the century mark in Week 5, though a good chunk […]

Kenny Golladay Facing Underrated Secondary In Week 6

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has a tough matchup in Week 6 when the Lions travel to Green Bay to play the Packers. Golladay posted a solid performance in Week 4 prior to the Lions bye, catching five balls for 67 yards and two scores, but will have his hands full against a tough […]

Kerryon Johnson Has Chance To Shine In Week 6

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson will look to take advantage of a weak Green Bay Packers run defense on Monday night in Week 6. The Packers overall defense has been very solid, but as evidenced by the 5.2 YPC they've allowed through the first five weeks of the season, their run defense has had […]

Matthew Stafford A QB2 In Tough Week 6 Matchup

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has a tough Week 6 matchup at Lambeau Field on Monday night coming off the Lions bye. The Packers highly underrated defense has racked up 15 sacks and seven interceptions through the first five weeks of the season, with opposing quarterbacks eclipsing the 230-yard mark just once. To say Stafford […]

Julio Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. After posting two 100-yard games and scoring four times in the first three weeks, Jones has gone quiet with seven catches for 92 scoreless yards the last two games. Week 6 against the Cardinals is a potential breakout game for the entire Falcons […]
