Hunter Henry Will Be Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) will practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. While it's a great sign for Henry, it's no guarantee that he'll return to action in Week 6 on Sunday night against the Steelers. However, he could have a good chance to play in Week 7 against Tennessee if […]

Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Rex Burkhead Questionable

New England Patriots wide receivers Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are all listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Giants. Burkhead practiced in full on Wednesday, while Edelman and Gordon were limited all week. Edelman and Gordon are expected to suit up and need to be […]

Phillip Dorsett Ruled Out For Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 6 on Thursday night against the Giants. Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) are also questionable, but they should both play in an excellent matchup against New York's soft secondary. With Dorsett out, rookie Jakobi […]

Cowboys Defense a Great Option in Week 6

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is a strong fantasy option for a Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets. Even with quarterback Sam Darnold (mono) expected to return, the Cowboys should have no problem getting to him through the Jets porous offensive line. If the Patriots weren't playing an injury-riddled Giants team this week, the […]

Brett Maher Looks to Bounce Back in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher will look to bounce back from a tough Week 5 performance in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Maher made just one of his three field goal tries in Week 5, missing from 54 and 33 yards out. The Dallas offense should have no problem moving the ball in […]

Mason Rudolph Practices Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) practiced on Wednesday, but he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Rudolph was knocked unconscious in Week 5 and had to be helped off the field. It's a good sign that he's making progress, but it still seems doubtful that he'll be allowed to play on Sunday night against […]

Christian Kirk, Damiere Byrd Practicing Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) both returned to practice on Wednesday. It would seem as though Kirk and Byrd have a good shot a playing in Week 6 against the Falcons. That'd be bad news for rookie Keesean Johnson and Trent Sherfield, who failed to capitalize with Kirk and […]

Jason Witten Likely to Provide More of the Same

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten will likely provide more of the same for his fantasy teams in Week 6. The Cowboys hit the road to take on the New York Jets, and while the Jets have actually been excellent at limiting opposing tight ends, Witten should still be able to come up with his […]

Devin Smith No Longer a Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is no longer a fantasy option in most formats. With Michael Gallup back and playing well, Smith will be relegated to maybe one or two deep balls per game. That's a far too inconsistent role to trot a guy out in a standard lineup. Smith could still be worth […]

David Johnson Working On The Side Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) was working on the side during practice on Wednesday. Johnson was effective in the Week 5 win over the Bengals, but he battled a back injury during the game and will be monitored this week. It doesn't mean that he won't play in a juicy Week 6 matchup […]

Randall Cobb Just a Desperation Play in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is little more than a desperation play in a Week 6 game against the New York Jets. Cobb has been playing an important role on the field, but it hasn't translated to much fantasy success. With the Cowboys forced to throw for almost the entire game in Week 5, […]

Michael Gallup Could Have Another Big Game in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup could have another big game in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Gallup returned from a knee injury to catch seven passes in Week 5, gaining 113 yards and scoring a touchdown. He was targeted 14 times and should see heavy usage this week as well. With another […]

Amari Cooper Set Up for a Huge Week 6

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is set to have an excellent Week 6 performance. Traveling to New Jersey to take on the New York Jets, Cooper is ranked as a top-five option among wide receivers this week. He's coming off a strong 11-226-1 performance against the Green Bay Packers and gets a much softer […]

Philip Rivers Loses His Center

The Los Angeles Chargers placed center Mike Pouncey (neck) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed center/guard Ryan Groy in a corresponding move. It's another injury in a long list for the Chargers this year, as usual. Quarterback Philip Rivers looked his age in Week 5 in a home loss to a Broncos Defense […]

Christian McCaffrey Misses Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) did not practice on Wednesday. It's worth watching, as McCaffrey left the game late in the Week 5 win over the Jaguars with cramping. Rookie Reggie Bonnafon entered and ran for 80 yards and a touchdown. He's McCaffrey's top handcuff and is worth picking up this week if […]

Rhett Ellison Will Start For Giants

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison will start Thursday against the Patriots with Evan Engram sidelined due to a knee injury. He is, however, not a recommended option. The Patriots have only allowed 11 catches all season to tight ends, the fewest in the league. Ellison is not likely to be the tight end […]

Darius Slayton Could Be Deep League Option

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will be one of the team's two starting outside receivers with Sterling Shepard missing Thursday's game due to a concussion. Although few of the Giants passing options outside of slot receiver Golden Tate are fantasy viable against the Patriots, Slayton has been a favorite of Daniel Jones' on […]

Cody Latimer Will Start on Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer is set to start on Thursday with Sterling Shepard missing the game due to a concussion. The bad news for Latimer is that he's now the No. 1 outside receiver on the team with Golden Tate manning the slot. That means Latimer figures to see a lot of […]

Jonathan Hilliman May Lose Touches to Elijhaa Penny

New York Giants running back Jonathan Hilliman seemed set to make his first NFL start on Thursday against the Patriots once Saquon Barkley (ankle) was ruled out. Now it seems as though the Giants may split those snaps between him and converted fullback Elijhaa Penny, who ran better than Hilliman last week. Regardless of who […]

Patrick Mahomes Says He's Fine

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) said his ankle is feeling good on Wednesday and that he'll be fine moving around. Mahomes tweaked his ankle in the Sunday night loss to the Colts, but he'll practice this week and should be fine to play in an expected shootout in Week 6 against the Texans. […]

Saquon Barkley Won't Play Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Patriots on Thursday night. Barkley is getting very close and could very well return in Week 7 in an excellent matchup against the Cardinals. With Wayne Gallman (concussion) also ruled out for Thursday, it'll be a combination of […]

Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, Wayne Gallman Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion), tight end Evan Engram (knee) and running back Wayne Gallman (concussion) have all been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Patriots. With Saquon Barkley (ankle) out another week too, it'll be rookie Jonathan Hilliman and Elijhaa Penny in the backfield against the Patriots' league-best defense. […]

Chris Herndon IV Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring), who is eligible to return in Week 6 from his suspension, will not practice on Wednesday after injuring himself running routes last week. Head coach Adam Gase said "it's not ideal," and it's not looking good for Herndon's chances of making his season debut in Week […]

Norv Turner Praises Reggie Bonnafon

Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon has impressed offensive coordinator Norv Turner. "He’s probably improved more than anyone on offense over the last year and a half," Turner said. Bonnafon was a waiver pickup this week for those in deeper leagues after he rushed five times for 80 yards and a touchdown in relief of […]

Case Keenum Expected To Start In Week 6

The Washington Redskins are expected to start quarterback Case Keenum in Week 6 against the Dolphins, assuming he's healthy, according to sources. Colt McCoy started in Week 5 and was predictably bad against the Patriots. Keenum wasn't terrible to begin the year other than turning the ball over left and right. It's hard to trust […]

T.J. Hockenson Back At Practice

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) was doing limited work at practice on Wednesday, but he remains in the concussion protocol. Hockenson isn't a lock to return on Monday night against the Packers after suffering a scary concussion in Week 4, but he's making good progress. If he plays this week, he'll be […]

Sammy Watkins Not Practicing Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday. Watkins was active on Sunday night in Week 5 but was hurt early on and never returned. He's looking unlikely to suit up in Week 6 against the Texans, so make sure you have other options. His window to take advantage of […]

Tony Pollard Could Get Some Touches in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard could get a few more touches in Week 6. With the Cowboys expected to get out to a healthy lead against the New York Jets, Pollard could see some fourth quarter run as the Cowboys try to wind down the clock. It likely won't be quite as bad […]

Ezekiel Elliott the Top-Ranked Week 6 Running Back

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the overall No. 1 ranked running back for Week 6. The Cowboys will hit the road to play the New York Jets and should have no trouble moving the ball and scoring points. Elliott could take over the offense and see tons of touches and scoring opportunities. With […]

Dak Prescott Looks For a More Even Week 6

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will look for a more even performance in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Prescott threw for a career-high 463 yards, but was picked off three times and threw just two touchdowns. The Packers Defense was giving him fits and forcing him to throw before he was ready much […]
