Austin Hooper Faces Tougher Test In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will face a much tougher test in the Falcons Week 7 game against the New York Giants on Monday. Hooper has faced the worst two defenses in the league in terms of defending the tight end the last two weeks. In those two games he has racked up 18 […]

Julio Jones Should See Plenty of Action Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones should be in line to see plenty of action against the New York Giants on Monday. With both Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley banged up this week Jones should see a decent number of targets. However, he will be facing a defense which ranks in the top-10 in lowest […]

Josh Rosen Should Be OK For Week 8

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) is dealing with a sprained toe, but he should be OK for Week 8 against the 49ers. With 10 days until their next game, Rosen has extra time to heal up. He was dreadful in the 45-10 blowout loss to the Broncos on […]

Ito Smith Has A Chance To Prove Himself

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith will get a chance to prove himself to the Falcons this season, and it will start Monday night with their matchup against the New York Giants. Smith will now assume the role of primary backup to Tevin Coleman with Devonta Freeman on the injured reserve. Smith has scored touchdowns […]

Ryan Griffin Ruled Out Against Jaguars

Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin (illness) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Jaguars. Griffin has only 10 catches on 25 targets for 140 yards in six games, so he wasn't worth stashing on fantasy rosters to begin with. In his absence, rookies Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas will handle the tight […]

Tevin Coleman Could Bounce Back Monday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman has a real chance to bounce back against the New York Giants on Monday. With Devonta Freeman on the injured reserve Coleman will lead this backfield, potentially for the rest of the season. However, Coleman has struggled recently averaging just 40 rushing yards and 15 yards receiving in the […]

Matt Ryan A Must-Start This Week

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is once again a must-start this week against the New York Giants on Monday. Ryan's numbers at home have been significantly better than on the road this season. Almost everything, down to his offensive lines protection has been better when at home this year. Ryan is averaging 3.25 touchdowns and […]

Nick Chubb Sees Immediate Boost

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Nick Chubb will see his role boosted significantly with the team trading Carlos Hyde to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday. Chubb has 173 yards on just 16 carries (10.8 yards per carry) and two scores in six games this year, but he just wasn't seeing enough work behind Hyde and […]

Gerald McCoy, Vinny Curry Out In Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (calf) and defensive end Vinny Curry (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 7 against the Browns. Rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea will make his first NFL start in place of McCoy. For a Tampa defense that has struggled mightily this year, it won't help to be […]

Theo Riddick Ruled Out Against Dolphins

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Dolphins. Coming off the bye week, this isn't a good sign for Riddick. He might not be able to return in Week 8 either. In his absence, rookie Kerryon Johnson should see a bigger […]

Carlos Hyde Traded To Jacksonville

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring running back Carlos Hyde in a trade with the Cleveland Browns. With running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out for at least the next three weeks, Hyde should step in and provide the team with strong insurance in the short and long term. While his status for the Week 7 meeting […]

Marshawn Lynch Out At Least A Month

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch is out at least one month due to a groin injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Raiders are on a bye this week after their loss in London versus the Seahawks and Lynch had the MRI this week to confirm the injury. In his absence, backup […]

Corey Liuget Looks To Keep Sack Party Rolling

Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Corey Liuget took it to rookie Baker Mayfield last week, and he'll be licking his chops for the chance to tee off on Marcus Mariota in London. Mariota was sacked 11 times last week, and Tennessee head coach Mike Vrabel expressed to reporters that LA's pass rush is a scary […]

DeVante Parker, Cameron Wake Questionable For Week 7

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) and defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) both practiced in full on Friday but are questionable for Week 7 against the Lions. Parker practiced all week and should be fine. He has just two catches on four targets for 40 yards in two games this year, though, and shouldn't […]

Tyrell Williams Sings A Siren's Song For Week 7

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams blew up against Cleveland last week, but owners shouldn't fall for the sweet hope of repeat success. Williams is going up against a Tennessee defense this week that has made a living out of limiting big plays. Over the last four weeks, the Titans haven't surrendered a single […]

Emmanuel Sanders Fine, Royce Freeman Day-To-Day

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) is fine after tweaking his ankle late in the Thursday night blowout of the Cardinals. Running back Royce Freeman (ankle) and wide receiver Daesean Hamilton (knee) are listed as day-to-day. Sanders had his best game of the season Thursday, catching six of seven targets for 102 yards and […]

Keenan Allen Facing Stingy Secondary

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has been Philip Rivers' go-to guy this season, but this week's matchup may be a rough one for him. Tennessee's secondary isn't considered anything special in the league, but they've turned it up recently. Over the last four weeks, they've been masters at limiting the big plays, allowing […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Questionable Against Pats

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) are both questionable for Week 7 against the Patriots. However, both players returned to practice on Friday, and we'd expect them to play on Sunday. Robinson is a fine No. 2 fantasy wideout in an attackable matchup against New England's secondary. Mack […]

Austin Ekeler May Get Bottled Up

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is a big play waiting to happen at any time, but he's got a surprisingly customized matchup waiting for him this week. One of Ekeler's favorite ways of doing damage is as a sneaky receiver coming out of the backfield, allowing him the space to juke and jive […]

Philip Rivers Facing A Strong Defense

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has been off to one of the best starts of his career, but he'll have his work cut out for him across the pond. In London this week, Rivers will have to square off against a Titans defense that is allowing the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks […]

Caleb Sturgis Fully Participates In Practice

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited all week. Sturgis missed last week's game with an injured quad, and he's considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. This leaves fantasy owners in a bit of a lurch because Mike Badgley stepped in and was […]

Melvin Gordon Limited In Practice, Not On Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers star running back Melvin Gordon was held out of practice on Friday with a hamstring issue, according to Melissa Stark of the NFL Network, but he has not been added to the injury report. Head coach Anthony Lynn said the issue was simply dehydration, and that's why he wasn't placed on the […]

Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson Listed As Questionable

Washington Redskins running backs Adrian Peterson (ankle, shoulder) and Chris Thompson (knee, rib) are both questionable for Week 7 against the Cowboys. Both players are expected to play in this one, and the Redskins could lean heavily on their backs with receivers Jamison Crowder out and Paul Richardson questionable. Peterson is a volume-based RB2 that […]

Paul Richardson Doubtful To Face Cowboys

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) is doubtful to play in Week 7 against the Cowboys. The Redskins are now running dangerously thin on receivers with Jamison Crowder (ankle) ruled out for the second straight game. Quarterback Alex Smith will have to lean on Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris as well as tight […]

Jamison Crowder To Miss Second Straight Game

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Cowboys, according to head coach Jay Gruden. Crowder will miss his second straight game. After being talked about as a potential breakout candidate for the second straight year, Crowder continues to disappoint fantasy owners and can probably be dropped […]

Royce Freeman Dealing With High Ankle Sprain

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain in the win over the Cardinals on Thursday night. Normally a multi-week injury, the Broncos are optimistic that Freeman may not miss any time. The Broncos have 10 days until they face the Chiefs in Week 8, so if Freeman heals quickly, […]

Colts Optimistic T.Y. Hilton Will Play

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich is optimistic that wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) will play in Week 7 against the Bills after missing the last two games. It's great news for quarterback Andrew Luck, especially since Ryan Grant is out and Marcus Johnson landed on Injured Reserve. However, consider Hilton more of a WR3 […]

Ryan Grant, Jack Doyle, Robert Turbin Ruled Out For Week 7

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle), tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bills. The good news is that the Colts could be getting T.Y. Hilton back for this game. Grant and Doyle both belong on the waiver wire in most […]

Dalvin Cook Ruled Out Against Jets

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Jets. Cook has become an early-round bust for fantasy owners, as he's played in just three games this year and has 36 carries for 98 yards (2.7 yards per carry). Latavius Murray will once again get most of the […]

Isaiah Crowell Gets Questionable Tag

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Vikings. Head coach Todd Bowles is saying that Crowell will be a game-time decision. In a tough matchup, Crowell is shaping up as a risky RB3/flex. He could see his workload dialed back even if he does play. […]
