Darrius Heyward-Bey Missing From Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Heyward-Bey looks doubtful to play in Week 6 against the Bengals. He has yet to record a catch in 2018 and remains well off the fantasy radar.

Giovani Bernard, Tyler Kroft Out Again Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Neither player is expected to play in Week 6 against the Steelers, although Bernard could return in Week 7. With Bernard likely out, Joe Mixon will be a low-end RB1 in a […]

Chris Hogan Misses Practice Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (thigh) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It's a mid-week downgrade, which usually isn't a good sign for said player's Sunday availability. Hogan was unable to take advantage of Julian Edelman's four-game suspension and has a disappointing 11 catches on 19 targets for 143 […]

Duke Johnson Frustrated With His Role

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson has been frustrated with his lack of a role in the backfield through five games. Johnson led the team last year with 74 catches for 693 yards and three receiving touchdowns. He also had 82 carries for 348 yards and four more TDs. Johnson has just 10 catches for […]

Green Bay Defense An Interesting Streaming Option

Green Bay’s defense is currently one of the highest scoring defenses in fantasy, but that is largely the result of a big Week 4 against a struggling Buffalo defense led by rookie quarterback Josh Allen. The pattern with Green Bay’s defense the past few years is that they dominate young and inexperienced quarterbacks but struggle […]

This Could Be The Week Aaron Jones Breaks Out

Green Bay running back Aaron Jones has shown in a small sample size that he is the most talented rusher in Green Bay. Pressure is growing on Green Bay’s coaching staff to use him more extensively and we could see that in Week 6 when they take on the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. […]

Robert Woods Should Continue to Succeed

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods could be a phenomenal WR1 option if Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) don't play in Week 6. However, it sounds like both players are getting close to returning. Although, Woods has been solid just about every week, so he still has value even if Cooks and […]

Larry Fitzgerald, Jermaine Gresham Limited

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring) and tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) were both limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Fitzgerald has really seen his production dip this year with quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Josh Rosen struggling to move the ball effectively. The veteran wideout hasn't had more than […]

Dalvin Cook Returns To Full Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It looks like he's on track to return for a great matchup against the Cardinals in Week 6 after sitting out in Week 5. Cook has been a disappointment to his fantasy owners this year because […]

Cooper Kupp Might Struggle Against Denver

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (concussion) is questionable for Week 6 after suffering a concussion last week. Both Kupp and Brandin Cooks (concussion) practiced on Thursday, so they should be good to go if they can get through Friday without any setbacks. The Broncos defense has not allowed much production from the slot […]

Brandin Cooks Has Great Matchup in Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) has an excellent matchup lined up for him in Week 6. However, there is still a chance that Cooks is unable to play in this one after suffering a concussion last week. Cooks was able to practice on Thursday, so if he'll be good to go if […]

Todd Gurley is Elite RB1 in Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has scored nine touchdowns for the Rams this season and is showing no signs of slowing down. Gurley was able to score three touchdowns on the ground last week. He's been basically unstoppable and should have an excellent game against the Broncos in Week 6. Denver has allowed […]

Matt Breida Walking Without A Limp

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) was walking around without a noticeable limp on Thursday despite missing practice. However, both of his ankles were wrapped and he wasn't in an orthopedic boot. Breida hasn't been ruled out for Monday night against the Packers yet, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Breida will need […]

Jared Goff Looks To Get Back on Track

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not perform as expected in Week 5, but it was not all his fault. Goff lost two of his best receivers to concussions last week. Goff was still able to throw for over 300 yards, but did throw two interceptions as well. This week he'll face off against […]

T.Y. Hilton Still Out Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest, hamstring) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Hilton missed last weekend's game and is appearing doubtful for Week 6 against the Jets. With tight end Jack Doyle also unlikely to play and now Eric Ebron questionable with multiple injuries, the Colts could be […]

Jalen Ramsey, Malik Jackson Practicing Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) and defensive tackle Malik Jackson (back) both returned to practice on Thursday. Ramsey was limited while Jackson practiced in full. Both players on are on track to play in a nice matchup with the Cowboys inept passing game in Week 6. Jacksonville's defense/special teams has been a strong play […]

Ezekiel Elliott, Coley Beasley, Tavon Austin Practice In Full

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and wide receivers Cole Beasley (ankle) and Tavon Austin (shoulder) all practiced in full on Thursday. They should all be fine to suit up in a tough matchup against the Jaguars in Week 6. Elliott is really the only offensive player in Dallas worth starting in most fantasy […]

DeMarcus Lawrence Returns To Practice

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lawrence is on track to play in Week 6 against the Jaguars, where he'll be a must-start in IDP leagues. He has 22 tackles and 5.5 sacks through five games in 2018.

Broncos Supporting Vance Joseph

Denver Broncos chief executive officer Joe Ellis said the team is supporting head coach Vance Joseph as they look to turn the team around after finishing 5-11 last year. After back-to-back wins to open the season, Denver has now lost three straight and face the 5-0 Rams in Week 6. "They know the deal. They […]

Lamar Miller, Jadeveon Clowney Practice In Full

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (illness) both practiced in full on Thursday. Miller was active but didn't play last Sunday night. He should return in Week 6 against the Bills, but how much he'll be used in the game plan will be in question. Miller has yet to […]

Ravens Excited About Hayden Hurst

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said first-round rookie tight end Hayden Hurst is on the rise after he made his NFL debut in Week 5. "He was knocking a little bit of rust off last week, and then, man I was excited, because he practiced really well [Wednesday]," Mornhinweg said. The 25-year-old rookie had […]

Travis Kelce is Elite Choice for Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has finished with at least 100 receiving yards or more in three of the last four games. Kelce was able to score a touchdown in the one contest where he didn't hit 100 yards during that span. He'll face a Patriots defense that has allowed four touchdowns to […]

Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp To Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said wide receivers Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) will take part in individual drills on Thursday. If they avoid setbacks, they will practice in full on Friday and be good to go for Week 6 against the Broncos. It's great news for a high-flying Rams offense […]

Diminished Role Leaves Jamaal Williams A Risky Choice For Week 6

Green Bay running back Jamaal Williams has seen his role slashed from the start of the year when he was touted by the organization as a bell-cow back. Heading into a Week 6 game against the vulnerable run defense of the San Francisco 49ers, it seems doubtful that he will see enough volume to have […]

No Timetable For Sean Lee

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, but defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli thinks Lee "is getting closer and closer" to returning. However, there is no timetable for his return and he's considered week-to-week. The good news is that Lee did some individual work on Thursday. He's been out since Week 3. […]

Sammy Watkins Expected to Be Ready for Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is practicing in full for Week 6. Watkins was able to play through a questionable tag last week, so he should be fine for this contest. Watkins has been reliable this season when he's been healthy. He goes up against a Patriots secondary that has allowed the […]

Marquise Goodwin Practicing In Full

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) is a "full go" in practice on Thursday and appears to be on track to return in Week 6 against the Packers on Monday night after sitting out last Sunday. Goodwin was a popular breakout candidate in training camp, but injuries have limited him to just […]

Despite Distractions, Aaron Rodgers a Strong Start in Week 6

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) has had a turbulent week leading up to a Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers. Coach Mike McCarthy has faced criticism for his offensive scheme. Much of this criticism has stemmed from apparent frustration coming from Rodgers himself. Additionally, Rodgers is still dealing with a knee injury […]

Packers Need Jimmy Graham To Improve

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) missed practice on Thursday with his knee injury. Fantasy owners shouldn't worry because the Packers don't play until Monday night, and they've been being very cautious with Graham's health early on this year. Expect him to play plenty of snaps this week before the Packers have a […]

Tyreek Hill is Reliable WR1 Against Pats

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has failed to score or go over 61 receiving yards during the last three games. However, Hill did have to face some difficult pass defenses, but has an easier matchup against the Patriots in Week 6. The Pats defense has allowed the sixth most receptions to opposing wide […]
