Devin Funchess A Flex Option For Week 6

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess should be considered a flex option for his Week 6 matchup against the Washington Redskins. Funchess comes off the back of a game where he struggled to make a significant impact against the New York Giants and cornerback Janoris Jenkins. Going into the matchup against the Redskins he will […]

Greg Olsen A Risky Start This Week

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen should be considered a risky start this week. Fantasy owners may be tempted to put him straight back into the team this week against the Washington Redskins it is not the easiest matchup for Olsen to return to. The Redskins have currently been one of the better teams against […]

Christian McCaffrey A Locked-In Starter This Week

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey should return great value this week in fantasy football. So far this season McCaffrey has not had a game where he has not had less than 90 yards (combined rushing and receiving). McCaffrey will look to add to the single touchdown he has scored against the New York Giants […]

Cam Newton A Good Option For Week 6

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a good option for fantasy owners this week. Coming off the back of a mediocre performance against the New York Giants Newton will look to bounce back against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins are one of the better defenses against quarterbacks so far this season (on average points per […]

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Doesn't Expect To Return In 2019

Green Bay Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix doesn't expect to be back with the team in 2019. “Right now, I’m playing each and every game like it’s my last. I don’t think I’m going to be here next year,” Clinton-Dix said Monday, one day after the Packers fell to 2-2-1 with a loss at Detroit. […]

O.J. Howard Practicing With Knee Brace

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) is practicing with a knee brace on Wednesday despite his MCL sprain. It's a good sign, but Howard is still expected to miss several weeks. Cameron Brate will see more targets as a result and should be considered a low-end TE1 in a great matchup against the […]

Corey Clement Will Play Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) practiced in full all week and is off the final injury report for Thursday night against the Giants. Clement will return after missing the last two weeks, and he should be in line for a sizeable role alongside Wendell Smallwood with Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the season. […]

Darren Sproles Out Against Giants

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Giants. The veteran back hasn't played since being injured in Week 1, although he could return after more rest in Week 7. Those that lost out on waiver claims for Wendell Smallwood and Corey […]

Olivier Vernon, Aldrick Rosas Not On Injury Report

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) were both limited in practice on Wednesday but have been taken off the final injury report for Thursday's game against the Eagles. Vernon will make his season debut after battling a high ankle sprain, and he'll be a huge boost to a […]

Rhett Ellison Questionable Against Eagles

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (foot) was limited in practice the last two days and is questionable for Thursday night against the Eagles. Ellison should be able to play. He's been the main tight end with Evan Engram (knee) out, but he hasn't been relevant in fantasy with 11 catches on 14 targets […]

Evan Engram, Russell Shepard Out For Week 6

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) and wide receiver Russell Shepard (neck) both missed practice on Wednesday and have been ruled out for Thursday night against the Eagles. Engram was limited the two previous days, so he has a great shot at returning next week, where he'll be back on the TE1 radar. […]

Leonard Fournette Could Sit Out Through Bye Week

The Jacksonville Jaguars are considering sitting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out through their Week 9 bye. Fournette was already ruled out for Week 6 against the Cowboys on Wednesday, and there is concern for him re-injuring his right hamstring. He hurt his leg initially in Week 1 and aggravated it in the second half […]

Rishard Matthews Works Out With Cardinals

Free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews worked out with the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday. Although he left without a deal, Matthews would be an interesting option for an otherwise barren wide receiver depth chart. Regardless of whether or not Matthews gets signed, the Cardinals have yet to show that they are capable of producing fantasy relevant […]

Ryan Tannehill Should Be Avoided In Week 6

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill should be avoided in leagues that start just one quarterback in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Simply put, the Dolphins offensive is 30th in the league in yards per game and the Bears defense is 2nd in the league in yards allowed per game. That's a clear-cut recipe for […]

Cole Beasley Not a Good Choice for a Week 6 Lineup

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley is not a recommended fantasy option for a Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Cowboys offense has struggled to move the ball in general this season, but especially in the passing game. This week, they get to take on the league's best pass defense in a game […]

Michael Gallup Not an Option for Week 6 Matchups

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a starting option in any format for Week 6. The Cowboys offense is struggling to move the ball through the air, and they get to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, the league's best pass defense, this week. In five games, Gallup has put up six catches […]

Allen Hurns Not a Fantasy Option in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns remains well off the fantasy radar for a Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hurns has caught a grand total of eight passes this season, gaining 84 yards and scoring one touchdown. That's not even a WR1 game most weeks, let alone when it is five weeks combined. […]

Lamar Miller Says He'll Play

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) said he will definitely play in Week 6 against the Bills. Miller was active last Sunday night but didn't play at all, and he's been a disappointment to fantasy owners with no rushing touchdowns in four games. If he continues to struggle, D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) could be in […]

Greg Olsen Practicing Wednesday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is practicing on Wednesday as he attempts to return from his injury in Week 6 against the Redskins. Olsen is expected to return this Sunday, although he could be eased back into action. Regardless, at an extremely thin position, fantasy owners should be starting Olsen if he's active […]

Denzel Ward Continues To Impress

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward, the fourth overall pick, continues to impress with his overall play through five games in his rookie season. “He was everywhere,” defensive end Myles Garrett said. “He had a game just like he did in the first game of the season, where he was ball hawking and on top […]

Rashaad Penny The Third Option In Seattle Backfield

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, the team's first-round pick, played zero offensive snaps and just one snap on special teams in the Week 5 loss to the Rams. Seattle has rediscovered their ground game with an NFL-leading 473 yards in the last three games, but Penny has not been very involved. He has […]

Ezekiel Elliott Is the Only Cowboy Worth Using in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the only Cowboys offensive player worth using in fantasy leagues in Week 6. Elliott has been held to 90 total yards or less in three of the five games so far this season, but he's still a usage hog, getting an average of 23 touches per week. He […]

Dak Prescott Set to Disappoint Again in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 6. He hasn't finished in the top half of quarterback scoring in any game this season, and he now gets to take on the league's best pass defense. The Cowboys, in fact, have now gone eight straight games without scoring more than […]

Dak Prescott Struggling With Accuracy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has struggled with his accuracy, and he has just 961 yards passing through five games with a 61.8 completion percentage and an 81.4 passer rating. He has just five touchdown passes on the year with four interceptions and a fumble, but he does have 121 rushing yards and a score […]

Deshaun Watson Has Chance To Play Against Bills

When asked if Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) had a chance to play in Week 6 against the Bills, head coach Bill O'Brien said, "Oh yeah." Houston is being rather coy about how seriously Watson was injured after taking multiple heavy hits on scrambles against the Cowboys on Sunday night. He might miss some […]

T.Y. Hilton, Jack Doyle Remain Week-To-Week

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) and tight end Jack Doyle (hip) remain week-to-week. It doesn't sound like either player is close to returning for Week 6 against the Jets, but we'll have to wait and see how much they can do in practice this week. If neither play […]

49ers Work Out Running Backs

The San Francisco 49ers worked out free-agent running backs Charcandrick West, Matt Dayes, Shane Vereen, Andre Ellington and Jeremy McNichols this week and signed Dayes to their practice squad, according to a source. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable to play on Monday night against Green Bay, the Niners are looking for some depth at […]

Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown Haven't Been On Same Page

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown leads the league with 21 incompletions on inaccurate passes from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. It's somewhat concerning that Brown and Big Ben haven't hooked up more often this year, but the two connected for two second-half touchdowns in the Week 5 win over the Falcons, and Brown had his first […]

Ben Roethlisberger Goes To Bat For James Conner

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks running back James Conner absolutely needs to remain in the game plan when Le'Veon Bell returns from his holdout in Week 8. Conner had 110 rushing yards, 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 and has been great in Bell's absence. “And I will push for James […]

Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood Could Mix and Match

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to use running backs Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood in a tandem approach on Thursday night against the Giants. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Zach Berman believes the Eagles trust Smallwood much more than they did last year and have been happy with the way he's played in 2018. Clement is the […]
