Rashaad Penny Records Six Carries

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny returned to action on Thursday night, and he spelled Chris Carson on a fairly regular basis. Penny recorded six carries compared to Carson's 27, but he also caught a pair of passes out of the backfield and was good enough to draw attention when he was in the game. […]

Chris Carson Tops 100 Yards, Catches TD

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson was rolling again on Thursday, racking up 118 yards on 27 carries in the team's win over LA. Carson also caught the game-winning touchdown pass, though he forced Seahawks fans to suffer tiny heart attacks as he tipped the wide-open 4th down pass up in the air and had […]

D.K. Metcalf Catches Another TD Bomb

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf got back on his horse and turned a footrace into an easy score in Thursday's win over the Rams. Metcalf got free off the back of a play-action setup and hauled in a 40-yard bomb from quarterback Russell Wilson in the second quarter. Metcalf's speed and the play design […]

Tyler Lockett Makes Incredible TD Catch

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett made an otherworldly touchdown catch at the end of the first quarter of Thursday's game. Lockett's 13-yard grab was actually more like a 30-yard heave into the very back corner of the end zone. What looked like a ball that was being thrown away due to pressure in the […]

Russell Wilson Playing Into MVP Conversation

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson put on a phenomenal show on Thursday night as he threw four touchdown passes and zero interceptions in Seattle's defeat of the Rams. Wilson has now thrown for 12 touchdowns and zero interceptions this season, and he's recorded a ridiculous 126.5 passer rating through the first five games of the […]

Jakeem Grant Continues Trending Down

After being removed in the fourth quarter of a Week 4 loss to the Chargers with a strained hamstring, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant was held out of practice on Wednesday. While Grant is not expected to miss significant time with Miami in their bye week, he still only finished with one catch for […]

Where Is O.J. Howard?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard played the role of the invisible man again in Week 4, while wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were off playing Batman and Robin. There were six touchdowns scored against the Rams Defense by five members of the Bucs offense, and still Howard was nowhere to be found. […]

Jordan Akins Not A Fantasy Starter In Week 5

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins had two touchdown receptions in Week 3. He then had three catches for 21 yards against the Panthers in Week 4 and now faces a Falcons team that's allowing the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. The Falcons haven't given up a single touchdown to a […]

Brandin Cooks Suffers Head Injury Thursday Night

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (head) was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion on Thursday night against the Seahawks. He was injured on a 29-yard catch when Seattle cornerback Shaquill Griffin landed hard on Cooks. The catch was the wideout's only one of the game, although he did […]

Keke Coutee's Lack Of Touches Should Worry Fantasy Owners

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee is becoming an afterthought in Houston. Even with Kenny Stills (hamstring) missing a good bit of Houston's Week 4 loss to the Panthers, Coutee was only able to muster 21 yards of offense, finishing with one carry and one reception. What Coutee is good at -- making plays near […]

Week 5 Could Be Will Fuller's Breakout Week

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller hasn't found the end zone yet this season, but that could change in Week 5 against the Falcons if Kenny Stills (hamstring) is unable to go. Fuller's best games have come when the Texans have just had him and fellow wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins as receiving threats; Houston currently […]

DeAndre Hopkins Still Needs To Be In Your Lineups

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins isn't living up to his usual standards this season, ranking outside of the top 25 at his position and failing to record a touchdown or a 100-yard game over the last three games. But talent and opportunity matter, and Hopkins has both of those things heading into a Week […]

Duke Johnson Has Tough Week 5 Matchup

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson faces an uphill battle when it comes to being fantasy relevant when Houston faces the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Atlanta has yet to allow a receiving touchdown to an opposing back, while Johnson hasn't had double-digit touches since Week 1. Johnson was productive when he touched the ball in […]

Carlos Hyde A Risky Week 5 Start

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde is Houston's No. 1 back, but after playing just 49 percent of the team's Week 4 snaps, the idea of trusting Hyde against the Falcons in Week 5 isn't a very appealing idea for fantasy owners. Hyde will lead the Texans in carries against Atlanta, but his per-play efficiency […]

Deshaun Watson Should Bounce Back In Week 5

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson failed to throw a touchdown against the Panthers in Week 4, but he should have more success when Houston hosts the Falcons in Week 5. Atlanta has allowed seven passing touchdowns so far this season and have allowed the second-most rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks as well. Watson's got a big […]

Kyle Rudolph Should Be Avoided In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is not a recommended play in Week 5 on the road against the New York Giants. Though Rudolph is still playing a high percentage of snaps, he's close to being eclipsed by Irv Smith Jr. in the passing game and has just 32 scoreless receiving yards on seven targets […]

Taylor Gabriel Ruled Out For London Game

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) isn't traveling with the team to London and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Raiders. Gabriel had three touchdowns on Monday night in Week 3 but hasn't practiced or played since suffering a concussion. He'll have extra time to rest up with the team on […]

Case Keenum Back At Practice, Vernon Davis Still Out

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) was limited in practice on Thursday, while tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) sat out for the second straight day. Keenum was in a walking boot on Wednesday, but the Redskins still aren't ruling him out for Week 5 against the Patriots after he was benched for poor performance in […]

Damien Williams Practicing In Full

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday. Williams should return to action on Sunday night against the Colts after missing the last two games. It further complicates a backfield that was featuring LeSean McCoy and Darrel Williams the last two weeks. It remains to […]

Bengals Hoping Cordy Glenn Returns Soon

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) is still being evaluated by independent doctors for his concussion, but head coach Zac Taylor said the team is hopeful that Glenn will play soon. Andy Dalton's blind-side protector is unlikely to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals, but the offensive line needs him back as soon […]

Jimmie Ward Returning For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Jimmie Ward (finger) will return from surgery on his broken finger in Week 5 on Monday night against the Browns. Ward can help at any position in the defensive backfield, giving the Niners more depth and versatility. The 28-year-old defensive back has trouble staying healthy and has yet to play this […]

Mitch Trubisky, Taylor Gabriel Miss Practice

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. With the Bears having their bye in Week 6, neither Trubisky nor Gabriel are expected to suit up in Week 5 in London against the Raiders. Gabriel also sat out in Week 4 […]

Dalvin Cook Remains Top-Tier RB1 In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is a good bet to bounce back and offer elite RB1 value in Week 5. The New York Giants are much more vulnerable against the pass so far this season, but their linebacker core is banged up and Cook is still likely to see at least 20 touches as […]

Parris Campbell Misses Practice Again

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not looking good for the rookie playing in Week 5 against the Chiefs on Sunday night unless he returns to practice on Friday. With the game being Sunday night, it's impossible to trust Campbell with a starting […]

Christian Kirk Could Be Back In Week 6

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk's (ankle) injury isn't season-ending, and while he's not expected to play in Week 5 against the Bengals, he could return to the mix as early as Week 6 against the Falcons, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Both Kirk and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) are expected to miss this Sunday, […]

Adam Vinatieri Should Be Started This Week

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri is in a good spot to put up points this week. The Kansas City Chiefs allow 23.5 points per game, and the Colts are averaging 23.5 points per game. This is likely going to be a high-scoring matchup, and they have an over/under of 56 points for this week. High-scoring […]

Raheem Mostert's Opportunities Could Be Dwindling

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert could be relegated to relief duties in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. With the impending return of Tevin Coleman (ankle), Mostert’s near-even timeshare with Matt Breida could be coming to an end. The fourth-year pro has been impressive, amassing 270 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 38 […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Mid-Tier QB2 Against Giants

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins looks to be a decent QB2 option in Week 5. The Vikings will face off with the New York Giants on the road as 4.5-point favorites, so there's a good chance that Cousins will need to throw as long as it stays a close contest. He hasn't played well in […]

Eric Ebron Is A TE2 In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron had five targets in Week 4, but he was only able to come down with one of them which he turned into a 48-yard touchdown. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett looks his way often, and they'll be throwing a lot against the high-powered Kansas City Chiefs. Ebron gets a good amount […]

Zach Pascal Has Flier Upside In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal is largely an afterthought in the team's offense on most weeks. Over the last two weeks though, with wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quad) dealing with an injury, Pascal has been able to be effective. In Week 4, he totaled four catches for 72 yards and a touchdown. Against the […]
