Jordan Howard Could Score Some More in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is a decent fantasy running back option for Week 5. Howard just scored three touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers and while he may not find the end zone three times again against the New York Jets in Week 5, he should at least get a few chances to […]

T.Y. Hilton Out Wednesday, Darius Leonard To Be Limited

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) will not practice on Wednesday. Linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion), who has missed the last two games, will practice on a limited basis. Hilton sat out in Week 4 and with the team's bye coming in Week 6, it's possible the Colts give […]

Carson Wentz a Strong Option in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a strong fantasy option in Week 5. The Eagles will take on the New York Jets at home and should have little trouble moving the ball against them. Wentz is coming off a three-touchdown performance against a strong Green Bay Packers Defense, and could have a similar or even […]

Cowboys Defense Just a Middling Option in Week 5

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is just an okay option in fantasy lineups in Week 5. With the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers battling on Sunday and Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers coming off a 422-yard performance, it's hard to rank the Cowboys defense as high as they've been in previous weeks. They're not a unit […]

Brett Maher Could Have a Big Day in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher could be a strong choice as a fantasy kicker in Week 5. Although Maher has been effective when called upon this season, it hasn't translated into a ton of success in fantasy lineups. The Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers this week though, and in what should be a close […]

Blake Jarwin Not a Startable Tight End in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not much of a starting option in most formats in Week 5. With the Cowboys going up against a good Green Bay Packers Defense, Jarwin is unlikely to be heavily involved. He's coming off a three-catch game against the Saints and would do well to match that total […]

Jason Witten Shaping Up as a Safe Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is looking like a safe, low-upside choice for Week 5. With the Cowboys expected to rely mostly on the running game and short passes against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, Witten could see a few more targets than usual. He'll likely do what he's done his whole […]

Gardner Minshew Lands On Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew (knee) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Doug Marrone said the team is being careful with Minshew's knee. The Jaguars are just being cautious here with the rookie, so we'd fully expect him to suit up in Week 5 against the Panthers. Minshew hasn't made many […]

No Timetable For Tyler Kroft

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) is progressing but has no timetable for a return, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Kroft was close to returning in Week 3 but suffered an ankle injury in practice. He has yet to make his season debut and is well off the fantasy radar right now. Rookie […]

Devin Singletary Will Be Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) will be limited in practice on Wednesday. Singletary was limited in practice last Thursday and Friday but ultimately missed his second straight game. Head coach Sean McDermott said that Singletary was close to playing last week, so he has a good chance of returning in Week 5 against […]

Michael Gallup Expected To Return To Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) is expected to resume practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday, according to head coach Jason Garrett. It will be Gallup's first practice in two weeks. It's good news, but Gallup isn't a guarantee to suit up against the Packers in Week 5 just yet. Even if he […]

Sam Darnold Will Practice Wednesday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) will practice on Wednesday and "see how it goes," according to head coach Adam Gase. The Jets are taking it day-to-day with Darnold, and he still hasn't been cleared for contact. It's not a lock that he returns in Week 5 to face the porous and injured Eagles […]

Josh Allen Remains In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (head) remains in the league's concussion protocol and will do some individual work at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen must be cleared from the protocol to have a chance at playing in a tough matchup this Sunday against the Titans on the road. He's shaping […]

Devin Smith Not a Week 5 Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is not a starting option in almost any format for Week 5. The Cowboys will be fighting against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, and Smith's game simply doesn't match well with the Packers defensive game plan. Smith has been serving as Dak Prescott's deep threat, but with […]

DeSean Jackson Won't Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will not practice on Wednesday. D-Jax is probably on the wrong side of questionable as of now for Week 5 against the Jets, so you should plan on being without him for another week. If he misses another game, it'll be Alshon […]

Randall Cobb Not Worth a Start in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not worth a start in most fantasy formats for Week 5. With the Cowboys taking on a difficult Green Bay Packers Defense, this game will likely be played through running back Ezekiel Elliott. Cobb could be around to snag a few short passes and could even score an […]

Amari Cooper Has a Tough Matchup With the Packers in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has a tough matchup with the Green Bay Packers secondary coming up in Week 5. The Packers Defense has been great at limiting opposing passing games, featuring a strong secondary and a fearsome pass rush. Still, Cooper's talent should allow him to come down with at least a few […]

Tony Pollard Just a Backup for Week 5

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is just a backup for a Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers. Even though the Packers Defense isn't great against opposing run games, Pollard is coming off a zero-touch game against the Saints and won't be heavily involved in the game plan on Sunday. The Cowboys […]

Ezekiel Elliott an Easy RB1 Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is an easy RB1 choice in all fantasy formats in Week 5. The Cowboys will face off against the Green Bay Packers, a defense that has been great at shutting down passing games but not so much with running games. The Cowboys offense should run through "Zeke" in this […]

Dak Prescott Has a Tough Matchup in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Coming off a game in which he struggled against the Saints last week, Prescott gets a strong Packers secondary and pass rush to deal with this week. He's still a QB1 in fantasy, but he's more in the […]

Saquon Barkley Already Back at Practice

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was spotted at practice Wednesday. He was limited to stretching and light change-of-direction drills with the training staff, but this is a huge step in his recovery from an injury that many thought would keep him out eight weeks. The Giants will still likely be cautious with their […]

Darius Slayton Isn't Playable

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has likely seen his fantasy usefulness dry up. With Golden Tate and Cody Latimer returning, Slayton is now fourth on the wide receiver depth chart in New York. While he does offer a deep-threat element, he's simply not going to see enough targets to warrant being played in […]

Giants Defense Off The Streaming Radar

The New York Giants Defense is coming off a strong showing against the Washington Redskins, where they intercepted four passes and recorded three sacks. The Vikings are not the Redskins. For all of Kirk Cousins' flaws, he's only thrown two interceptions this season, and the Vikings offensive line has allowed eight sacks. The Giants also […]

Keep Starting Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is coming off another awesome performance Week 4 against the Rams Defense. He seemed to always be a step ahead of the Rams defenders, showing his elite quickness time and again. For the week, Godwin finished with the most fantasy points in the NFL with 12 receptions for […]

Tyrell Williams Not Practicing, Questionable For Week 5

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday and is questionable for Week 5 in London against the Bears. Williams is the only player in the NFL to have a receiving touchdown in all four weeks of the season, but he has been trending down in recent weeks. With a tough […]

Evan Engram Has Giants Best Matchup

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has perhaps the best matchup of all the team's receiving options. Although the Vikings have a strong defense, they have been beaten by top tight ends this year, allowing 9 catches for 77 yards against Austin Hooper and 13 catches for 134 yards against Darren Waller. With the […]

Sterling Shepard's Role In Question With Giants At Full Strength

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard heads into Week 5 with a few question marks. As the team's top wide receiver so far, Shepard has developed a strong rapport with quarterback Daniel Jones. However, he has also done most of his damage while operating out of the slot. That's the same position where recently-activated […]

Golden Tate Returns For Giants In Week 5

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will make his first appearance of the season on Sunday. After serving a four-game suspension, Tate will slide right into the starting lineup after the team released Bennie Fowler, who had been operating as the team's number three receiver and main slot option. The Vikings are a tough […]

Colts GM Praises Jacoby Brissett

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard praised the way quarterback Jacoby Brissett has handled everything so far in the wake of Andrew Luck's surprise retirement. "He prepares -- he's always prepared like the starter," Ballard said via team transcripts. "And I remember saying this during Andrew's (Luck's) press conference when he retired that, look, Jacoby […]

Wayne Gallman Is A Borderline Option Versus Vikings

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman will find the sledding tougher this week against the Vikings top 10-rush defense. Despite putting up big fantasy numbers last week, Gallman was only able to gain 63 yards on his 18 carries against the Redskins. His success came because he found the end zone twice and hauled […]
