Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Week 6

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off his first career 300-yard passing game and will look to stay hot against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. Mayfield has been as advertised since taking over starting quarterback duties, showing excellent accuracy and elusiveness in the pocket while raising the floor of his offensive skill […]

Vance McDonald A High-End TE2

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald burned a lot of his fantasy owners in Week 5 when he caught just one pass for six yards in a game against the Atlanta Falcons. This game after a two-game stretch which saw McDonald rack up nine catches for 174 yards and a touchdown. The veteran tight end […]

James Conner Draws Plus Matchup In Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner will draw a plus matchup in Week 6 when he takes on the Cincinnati Bengals. Conner is coming off an excellent Week 5 game which saw him score twice and rack up 185 all-purpose yards against the Atlanta Falcons. Cincinnati's run defense has struggled this season, ranking 23rd in […]

Ben Roethlisberger A Low-End QB1 In Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will head on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. The veteran's road struggles are well-known at this point and have continued during the 2018 season. Four of his six interceptions this season have come in his two road games and he will take on a […]

T.J. Yeldon Will Continue Being Workhorse

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon will continue to be the main man in the backfield as long as Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is out. Yeldon played 77 snaps on offense in Week 5 against the Chiefs. With Fournette expected to sit out again this weekend against Dallas, Yeldon will be backed up by Jamaal Charles […]

Health Didn't Limit Doug Baldwin To One Catch In Week 5

Even though Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is unlikely to be 100 percent healthy all year, both he and head coach Pete Carroll said that's not what limited the receiver to just one catch in the Week 5 loss to the Rams. It was just the way the game played out and the […]

Cody Latimer Off The Injury Report

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (knee) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday and has been taken off the final injury report for this Thursday's game against the Eagles. Latimer didn't play any snaps last week against the Panthers and has only three catches on five targets for 56 yards in three […]

Maurice Harris Sees Opportunity Amid Injuries

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris caught three passes in Monday night's loss to the Saints, with one of those catches accounting for 42 of his 47 yards. Harris had his number called with Josh Doctson (heel) ruled out for the contest and Paul Richardson (knee) injured during it, and likely goes back to being […]

Jordan Reed Ineffective Against Saints

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed caught one pass for 21 yards on Monday night, frustrating many a fantasy owner who entered the contest needing only a handful of points to win the week. As puzzling as it may be that Reed was so invisible even with the Redskins playing catch-up for most of the […]

Jamison Crowder Targeted Eight Times In Week 5

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder caught four of his eight targets for 55 yards on Monday against New Orleans. The eight targets are good for a season high, which is encouraging if it continues. Two factors exist to suggest that it might not, however. The first of these is that Alex Smith attempted 39 […]

Julian Edelman Should Gobble Up Targets In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman enjoyed a successful return to the lineup in Week 5 with seven receptions for 57 yards. Edelman's legs looked fresh and didn't appear to miss a beat functioning in the Patriots complicated offense. The veteran receiver will go up against a Chiefs defense that is allowing the 16th […]

Josh Gordon Has Sneaky Upside In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon will go up against a Chiefs secondary that is allowing the 16th fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Gordon has only three catches in a Patriots uniform but already brought in one deep pass from quarterback Tom Brady for a touchdown. Gordon's snaps are on the rise […]

Rob Gronkowski Should Produce Against Kansas City

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will go up against a Chiefs defense that is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. The stats are a bit deceiving after the Steelers Jessie James tore through the Chiefs for 138 yards and one touchdown but tight ends have enjoyed success […]

Kapri Bibbs Scores Touchdown Against Saints

Washington Redskins running back Kapri Bibbs turned four carries into nine yards and a touchdown Monday night. This wouldn't normally qualify as anything to pay attention to, especially considering the touchdown came with the Redskins trailing by 30 points in the fourth quarter. The reason Bibbs was in the game to begin with, however, is […]

James White Has Dynamite Matchup Against Chiefs

New England Patriots running back James White has been a godsend for the team's offense through the first month of the season. White already has 32 receptions for 270 yards, four total touchdowns and has been quarterback Tom Brady's favorite target in the first quarter of the season. White will go up against a Chiefs […]

Titans Release Nick Williams, Austin Davis

The Tennessee Titans released wide receiver Nick Williams and quarterback Austin Davis on Tuesday. Williams dropped a potential game-winning touchdown in Week 5. He played in two games for the Titans this year and has only 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in his career. Davis is no longer needed with Blaine Gabbert […]

Sony Michel Looks To Stay Hot Against Chiefs

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel has come on strong over the past two games, posting 210 rushing yards and two touchdowns during that span. The Patriots love utilizing pass-catching back James White but Michel has become the lead ball-carrier in the backfield. Michel in Week 6 will go up against a Chiefs defense […]

Kayvon Webster Headed To Injured Reserve

Houston Texans cornerback Kayvon Webster (quadriceps) is being placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Defensive back and special teamer Mike Tyson has been elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Webster had just made his season debut in Week 5 on Sunday night. It's another big loss for a […]

K.J. Wright Won't Return In Week 6

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) will run hard this week but won't play in Week 6 against the Raiders. Wright has yet to play this year after having surgery late in training camp. They could really use his presence alongside Bobby Wagner now that Mychal Kendricks is suspended indefinitely […]

Tom Brady Will Be A Top Choice Among Week 6 QBs

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a fantastic matchup this Sunday night against the Chiefs in Week 6. Brady has completed 67.6% of his passes this season for 1,259 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. Brady has turned the ball over more than he would like but will go up against a Chiefs […]

Fire Up Saquon Barkley Despite Tough TNF Matchup

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley appears to have avoided injury after limping to the sidelines following his second touchdown of the game against the Panthers. Barkley is not listed on the injury report and will now go up against an Eagles defense this Thursday night that has allowed the third fewest fantasy points […]

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Armani Watts Put On IR

The Kansas City Chiefs placed offensive guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (leg) and safety Armani Watts (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed free-agent linebacker Frank Zombo in a corresponding move. Although Duvernay-Tardif wasn't a very effective starter on the offensive line, it'll be a hit to KC's line moving forward.

Alex Smith Shut Down By Saints

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith completed 23 of 39 passes for 275 yards in Monday night's contest against the Saints. He also fumbled once and threw one interception. Smith's fantasy day was salvaged by a short rushing touchdown late in the first half, but even that was just barely enough to get him into double […]

Bengals Waive Thomas Rawls

The Cincinnati Bengals waived running back Thomas Rawls on Tuesday. It's a bit surprising with Giovani Bernard (knee) out a few weeks, but the Bengals apparently are comfortable with rookie Mark Walton backing up Joe Mixon in the meantime.

Aldrick Rosas Held Out Of Practice Tuesday

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) was held out of practice in the portion open to the media on Tuesday. The Giants are likely resting Rosas on a short week against the Eagles this Thursday, but it's something worth watching. Expect Rosas to play unless New York adds a kicker before Thursday. Although Rosas […]

Adrian Peterson Expected To Play In Week 6

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (shoulder) is dealing with a strained shoulder and will get a second opinion, but he is expected to play in Week 6 against the Panthers, according to a source. It's not a foregone conclusion that Peterson will be able to play this Sunday, although he'll remain in play as […]

Eagles Offensive Line Not Up To Par

The Philadelphia Eagles offensive line has been a weakness so far through five weeks of the season. "Right now we're struggling on the offensive line because we have to block longer. We have a quarterback that's coming off of an injury and he wants to make a play," left tackle Jason Peters said. "We just […]

Raiders Defense Is Struggling

The Oakland Raiders defense is allowing 6.8 yards per play this year, which is the fourth worst mark of any defense after five weeks since the 1970 merger, according to Pro Football Reference. We doubt that'd be the case if Oakland hadn't traded All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack to the Bears before Week 1. In […]

Falcons Offense Struggling Outdoors

The Atlanta Falcons offense has struggled so far in two road games outdoors (at Eagles and at Steelers), averaging 14.5 points in those two losses. Running backs Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith combined to average less than 3.0 yards per carry on 18 attempts against Pittsburgh. That shouldn't be a worry for fantasy […]

Chargers Backfield On Pace To Make History

The Los Angeles Chargers backfield of running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler is on pace for 3,216 yards from scrimmage this year, which would top the record for a backfield duo set by Saints backs Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram in 2017 (3,094 yards). Gordon is an RB1 each and every week, especially now […]
