Peyton Barber on Cusp of Irrelevance if He Falters in Atlanta

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has been horrid thus far and will probably get his last chance to start or get significant carries if he doesn't have a better performance in Atlanta. Atlanta's defense is one of the worst against the run in the league (31st in DVOA), and especially exposable to running […]

Stash Ronald Jones II in Hopes of Breakout Sunday

Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II finally got a chance to see the field two weeks ago against a stout Chicago Bears defense. This week, Jones II will see an exposable Falcons defense that is missing stud defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. If he were to go off and claim the lead running back spot as […]

DeSean Jackson is an Upside WR2 Sunday in Atlanta

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson has started 2018 off strong and faces a weak Falcons defense this Sunday. Jackson has typically been unreliable but his highs make him worth a start for owners who might need a major upside play. Winston and Jackson may not have the same chemistry Fitzpatrick and Jackson had, but they […]

Mike Evans Will Dominate Falcons Secondary Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans loves playing the Atlanta Falcons. He has scored five times in their last five matchups and continually puts up WR1 numbers against them. The Falcons are down to their second and third-string safeties, making their top corner Desmond Trufant exposable this season. Evans is a must-start every week so there […]

Josh Gordon Developing Relationship With Tom Brady

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon described his growing bond with quarterback Tom Brady as a "real natural type of relationship." The Patriots traded for Gordon on Sept. 17 and placed his locker next to Brady's. Gordon has played only 18 snaps apiece in the last two games but caught a 34-yard touchdown on […]

Kyle Juszczyk A Deep PPR Option

If San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is unable to play in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers, Kyle Juszczyk could be a fantasy factor. Juszczyk is fourth on the squad with 20 targets and coming off a six-catch performance for 75 yards in Week 5. With 144 career grabs and a […]

Giants To Stick With Eli Manning

The New York Giants plan to stick with quarterback Eli Manning despite a 1-5 start to their season after losing 34-13 to the Eagles on Thursday night. The aging quarterback has six touchdowns and six turnovers in six games on the year and completed just 24 of 43 passes for 281 yards and an interception […]

Trent Taylor's Back Injury Diminishes Week 6 Upside

Anticipated for more work following injuries to various San Francisco 49ers wide receivers, Trent Taylor (back) now looks iffy for Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. Taylor underwent lower back surgery in the offseason and head coach Kyle Shanahan held him out of practice Thursday due to “wear and tear”. Taylor recorded his first […]

Jared Cook A Consistent Option This Week

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook has been a consistent fantasy option all season, and it won't stop this week. Cook has six or more targets in four of his five games this season while adding over 100 receiving yards in two of those games. Cook comes in with a target market share sitting at […]

Demaryius Thomas Looks to Build on Positive Outing

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas put up his best numbers of 2018 in Week 5 -- six receptions, 105 yards, and one touchdown - - and will look to keep things rolling in Week 6 against a Los Angeles Rams secondary which hasn't played well since losing cornerback Aqib Talib. The Rams have allowed […]

Martavis Bryant Primed For Breakout Game

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant is still looking for his first big game of the season, which could come this Sunday versus the Seahawks in London. Bryant has posted more receiving yards each week he has played this season, but yet to reach the end zone. Bryant is known for his downfield threat, which […]

Jordy Nelson In A Spot To Extend Touchdown Streak

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson is looking to add another touchdown this week, which would make it four straight games. Nelson had a slow start to the season but has 15 receptions, 264 yards and three touchdowns in his last three weeks. The match is very favorable as he is up against the Seahawks […]

Jimmy Graham Back To Full Practice Friday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) was back to a full practice on Friday after being held out on Thursday. Graham will suit up on Monday night against the 49ers in a good matchup. Green Bay could once again be without receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring), so that would […]

Amari Cooper's Roller-Coaster Ride Set To Continue This Week

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper is in a spot for his upswing game this week against the Seahawks. Cooper has been on a bad game, then strong game pattern this season and this week is set for a "good game." Week 1 he had one catch, Week 2 he had 10, Week 3 he […]

Jalen Richard Still Looking For First Touchdown Of The Season

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard has yet to find the end zone this season but is in a good spot to do so versus the Seahawks over in London this Sunday. Last week, Seattle allowed four catches and 36 receiving yards to Todd Gurley in the passing game, which could show the opening Richard […]

Doug Martin Can Only Go Up This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is looking for a strong performance this Sunday versus the Seahawks in London. Martin finished last week's game with two rushing attempts for just one yard. That is beyond insignificant in terms of production, so he can truly only go up from here. The matchup is solid against the Seahawks […]

Marshawn Lynch Primed For Revenge Game

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch is set to take on his former team Seattle this Sunday in London. Lynch is coming off a very slow game where he only had nine carries for 31 yards last Sunday versus the Chargers. Prior to that, he had one touchdown or over 100 yards in the first […]

Derek Carr Needs Big Game Across The Pond

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is coming off a rough game against the Chargers but is now looking to post big numbers against the Seahawks in London. Carr has five interceptions in his last three games while adding six touchdowns in that span. The matchup looks to be a good one, as the Seahawks just […]

Jaguars Signing Ereck Flowers

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent offensive tackle Ereck Flowers on Friday. Backup left tackle Josh Wells (groin) has been placed on Injured Reserve. He had started three games in place of left tackle Cam Robinson (knee), who tore his ACL in Week 2. Flowers was a first-round bust with the Giants and was cut after […]

Caleb Sturgis Questionable For Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Browns. The Bolts signed Mike Badgley earlier this week, so there's a real chance Sturgis won't play in this one. If you own Sturgis, it'd be wise to look for other options […]

Greg Zuerlein Ruled Out

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Broncos. Zuerlein is getting close to a return, though, so he could be back as soon as Week 7. As soon as he's back Zuerlein will be in play as a high-end fantasy kicker for one of the best […]

DeMarcus Lawrence To Play With Harness

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder), who said he has been playing with a torn labrum in his shoulder for the last two years, is listed as questionable to play in Week 6 against the Jaguars. He said his shoulder popped out of socket in Week 5 and he was in severe pain on […]

Chase Edmonds Questionable For Week 6

Arizona Cardinals backup running back Chase Edmonds (back) was added to the injury report on Friday as a limited practice participant and is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Vikings. Edmonds hasn't done much this year behind David Johnson, carrying the ball 14 times for 39 yards (2.8 yards per carry) with nine […]

Calvin Ridley Ready For Another Big Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley could be in for a big day Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie has had a great season so far, and has given secondaries trouble with his speed. Ridley scored just under eight fantasy points last week, his lowest since Week 1. The Buccaneers are allowing the […]

Mohamed Sanu Looks To Stay Hot

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu will look to keep his hot streak going this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sanu has been on fire these last three weeks, scoring above 15 points each week. The receiver saw his targets fall off to begin the year with rookie Calvin Ridley coming to life. However, […]

Deshaun Watson Questionable Against Bills

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 6 against the Bills. Watson is fully expected to play and has a great matchup in Buffalo's defense. Watson has been on a roll lately and has looked more like the rookie that broke out in 2017 before […]

Alex Collins Still A Fantasy Option

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins has been a major disappointment through the first five weeks of the season. Granted, some of the reasons for his lack of production are not entirely his fault, but Collins does need to step up his play. Collins was only on the field for 31 snaps last week, although […]

Four Patriots Playmakers Are Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Chris Hogan (thigh) were all limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 6 against the Chiefs on Sunday night. Hogan is really the only player in doubt, but even he should […]

Derrick Willies Out After Fracturing Collarbone

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Derrick Willies (collarbone) fractured his collarbone in practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Chargers. Willies will be re-evaluated next week. Willies was in line to see more snaps after serving as a hero late in the Week 5 overtime win over the Ravens. With […]

Eric Ebron, Darius Leonard Questionable Against Jets

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (ankle, knee, quadriceps, shin) and rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) both practiced in full on Friday but are questionable for Week 6 against the Jets. We expect both to play this Sunday, but Ebron could be limited with the various injuries he's dealing with. Even with the threat of […]
