Trent Williams Playing Against Saints

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (knee), who was listed as questionable, is active for Monday night against the Saints. Williams underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee during the bye week last week and was always expected to play in this one. He's the blind-side protector for quarterback Alex Smith and will try to […]

Josh Doctson, Samaje Perine Inactive Monday Night

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) and running back Samaje Perine are both inactive for Monday night against the Saints. Doctson was in a walking boot late last week, so he was always a long shot to play in this one. In his absence, Jamison Crowder and Paul Richardson should see more targets against […]

Matt Breida Doubtful For Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) will not practice Thursday and is doubtful for Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. The Niners and Packers face off on Monday Night Football so the quick scratch for Thursday’s practice means Breida’s chances of suiting up are slim. He suffered a mid-ankle sprain in Week […]

Laquon Treadwell Predictably Disappoints

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell had yet another nondescript fantasy day on Sunday in the Minnesota Vikings 23-21 road win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Treadwell hauled in 3-of-4 targets for just 21 yards while seeing 30-of-62 (48%) offensive snaps. Fellow receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs commanded 10 and 11 targets, respectively, and will […]

Trey Burton Will Be Boom Or Bust Against Dolphins

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton will have a tough matchup against a Dolphins defense that has not allowed a touchdown to opposing tight ends yet this season. They have not allowed more than 52 receiving yards to a single tight end this season and Burton's has only 11 receptions through four games played. The […]

Taylor Gabriel Looks To Continue Production In Week 6

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel will look to build off of the 104-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 4 against the Dolphins this Sunday. Gabriel was open the entire game against the Buccaneers and has a huge role in head coach Matt Nagy's offense. He will go up against a Dolphins secondary that already has […]

Allen Robinson Hungry For More In Bears Offense

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson has racked up 19 receptions for 217 yards and one touchdown through four games this season. Robinson will take on a Dolphins secondary that already has 10 interceptions this season and is allowing to the 10th fewest fantasy points to receivers. But Bengals receiver A.J. Green put up 112 […]

Tarik Cohen Has Excellent Matchup Against Dolphins

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will look to build off of his 174-yard performance in Week 4 against the Dolphins this Sunday. Cohen was all over the field against the Buccaneers as the offense looked explosive with the speedster in the backfield. He will go up against a Dolphins defense that has allowed five […]

Jordan Howard Hopes To Break Out In Week 6

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard is off to a slow start to his season heading into Week 6. In four games Howard is averaging only 3.2 yards per carry and hasn't averaged above 2.5 since Week 1. He has only one touchdown on the season but has a favorable matchup against a Dolphins defense […]

Patriots Re-Sign Kenjon Barner

The New England Patriots re-signed running back Kenjon Barner on Monday for the third different time so far this season. Barner will provide depth behind rookie Sony Michel and James White, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy impact unless one of the two ahead of him are hurt.

Aldrick Rosas On Injury Report

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas (quadriceps) is on the injury report for Week 6 against the Eagles on Thursday. New injuries on a short week are never a good thing, but it doesn't sound like Rosas' injury is very serious. Rosas is a perfect 11-for-11 on field goal tries and has made all seven […]

Evan Engram Has A Shot To Play Thursday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said tight end Evan Engram (knee) has a "shot to make it" for Thursday night against the Eagles. It seems doubtful that Engram would suit up on a short week and risk further injury, but the Giants aren't ruling him out. Even if Engram were to be active […]

Mitch Trubisky Must Protect Football In Week 6

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will face a tough Dolphins secondary in Miami in Week 6. The Bears went on bye at just the wrong time after the second-year quarterback threw six touchdowns in Week 4 against the Buccaneers. Trubisky is now completing 70% of his passes and will take a 101.6 QB rating into […]

Jay Ajayi Tears His ACL

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 5 loss to the Vikings and has been put on Injured Reserve, ending his 2018 season, according to a source. It's a huge blow to an Eagles offense that continues to be decimated by injuries as they try to defend their Super […]

Matt Breida Has Mid Ankle Sprain

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida's (ankle) MRI exam came back negative, according to a source. His injury is considered more of a mid ankle sprain, which is good news. Breida has also been fighting a variety of other injuries this year and has proven to be a quick healer. However, that doesn't mean […]

Le'Veon Bell, James Conner To Form Committee?

The emergence of Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner could allow the team to ease Le'Veon Bell back into things following the team's Week 7 bye against the Browns. Bell got off to a slow start last year after his holdout early in the year, and he's also worried about his overall workload as he […]

Matt Ryan Undergoes X-Rays

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (foot) underwent X-rays on Sunday but is 100 percent ready to go for a great matchup in Week 6 against a terrible Buccaneers secondary. Ryan had 285 yards passing with just one touchdown in a disappointing showing against the Steelers in Week 5, but he'll be a strong QB1 this […]

Leonard Fournette To Miss Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss another game in Week 6 against the Cowboys, according to sources. Fournette aggravated his hamstring in Week 4 and will now miss two straight games. With Corey Grant (foot) on Injured Reserve, the Jags will roll with T.J. Yeldon and Brandon Wilds in their backfield next […]

Rashard Higgins Week-To-Week With Knee Sprain

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) is week-to-week with an MCL sprain. These types of injuries usually require two to four weeks of rest, so don't expect Higgins back in Week 6 against the Chargers. It's a shame because Higgins was looking like a legitimate No. 2 behind Jarvis […]

Greg Olsen Likely To Need Offseason Surgery

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot), who is expected to return in Week 6 against the Redskins, said he'll likely need offseason surgery for his Jones fracture. Olsen re-fractured his foot in the season opener but recovered quickly and could return this Sunday. While there is a high chance of re-injury, Olsen will immediately […]

Ravens Trying To Keep Alex Collins Fresh

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team is trying to keep Alex Collins fresh after he played just 27 snaps in the Week 5 overtime loss to the Browns. "A fresh running back is a good thing. We need to spread the load," Harbaugh said. Collins had 12 carries for 59 yards (4.9 […]

David Moore Has Arrived

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore was a training camp favorite after some highlight-reel catches, but he was initially thought to be buried too deep in the wide receiver rotation to really be worthy of fantasy attention. Consider that position changed. Moore has clearly supplanted Brandon Marshall as the team's third wide receiver, and he […]

Cardinals Sign Kendall Wright

The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright to a one-year deal on Monday and released rookie cornerback Deatrick Nichols in a corresponding move. Wright was the Bears leading receiver in 2017 with 59 catches for 614 yards and a touchdown. Arizona needs a lot of help on offense, generating 786 yards through the […]

Curtis Samuel Takes Pass To The House

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel took one of his two receptions for a 25-yard touchdown in the Week 5 game against the New York Giants. Samuel finished the game with a box score of 37 yards, finishing the game with two receptions from four targets. Going into the Panthers game with the Washington Redskins, […]

Ian Thomas Posts Season High In Yards In Week 5

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas posted a season-high 38 yards from his three catches against the New York Giants in Week 5. Thomas had six targets in the encounter, which was only bettered by wide receiver Devin Funchess. Thomas was given the opportunity to show why he should be considered to be used in […]

Devin Funchess Has Mixed Game Against Giants

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess had a mixed game against the New York Giants. Funchess was the most targeted player for the Panthers in the game but was only able to catch four of the seven targets he had for 53 yards. Funchess did finish the game with the most receiving yards for the […]

D.J. Moore Gets More Usage In Week 5

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver D.J. Moore had the highest usage of his NFL career in the encounter against the New York Giants in Week 5. Moore had four targets in the game, catching all of those to finish the game with four receptions for 49 yards. He also was able to rush for a […]

Christian McCaffrey Continues To Impress Against Giants

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey continues to put in strong performances this season, this time against the New York Giants. McCaffrey was lent upon in the rushing game, running for 58 yards from 17 carries, as well as being a threat out of the backfield on passing downs catching five passes for 35 yards […]

Cam Newton Has Mediocre Showing Against Giants

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a mediocre game against the New York Giants in Week 5. While Newton did not have a poor performance, fantasy owners would have hoped for more against what should have been a good matchup for the Panthers quarterback. Newton was limited on the ground with only 29 yards rushing […]

Darius Leonard Expects To Play Against Jets

Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) was close to playing last Thursday against the Patriots and expects to return in Week 6 against the Jets. In four games, Leonard has quickly put himself on the map as an IDP must-start with a whopping 54 tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble. If he's active […]
