Julio Jones Fails To Make An Impact Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a tough outing on the road Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones ended the game with five receptions for 62 yards on nine targets. Bad days on the road for this Falcons offense are not a huge surprise, but it is a surprise that the majority of Jones' […]

Frank Gore Rushes For 63 Yards In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was the team's leading rusher in their 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. Gore rushed 12 times for 63 yards, though he was absent from the pass game and was out-gained by fellow running back Kenyan Drake 115-63. At this point in his career Gore is a […]

Ito Smith Vultures Touchdown Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith vultured a touchdown for his fantasy owners against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Fantasy owners who started Smith had their day saved by his short-yardage touchdown. In total Smith had three rushes for five yards and one reception for five yards. With Devonta Freeman back healthy this is going […]

Kenyan Drake Totals 115 Yards And A Touchdown In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was a threat both on the ground and through the air in their Week 5 27-17 loss to the Bengals. Drake rushed six times for 46 yards and caught seven passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Drake was Miami's best offensive weapon in a tough game, with 115 […]

Sterling Shepard Adds 75 Receiving Yards Against Panthers

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught four passes for 75 yards as the Giants lost in the final seconds to the Panthers 33-31. Frustrations boiled over after a poor first half and the cameras caught Shepard having a full-on meltdown on the sideline. Teammate Odell Beckham Jr. had to calm the young receiver […]

Ryan Tannehill Throws Two Interceptions In Week 5 Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill struggled in Miami's Week 5 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He went 20-for-35 passing for 185 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. This was seemingly an opportunity for a bounce back from Tannehill, as Cincinnati had been shredded the week before by Matt Ryan and the Falcons. Tannehill […]

Tevin Coleman Struggles In Reduced Role Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman failed to make an impact in a reduced role against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Coleman saw a big reduction in touches as Devonta Freeman recovered from a knee injury. Coleman managed just nine touches in total in Sunday's matchup. He rushed the ball seven times for a mediocre […]

Case Keenum Almost Ends Interception Streak

The final pass of the day from Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum was deflected into the welcoming arms of Jets safety Marcus Maye, extending Keenum's interception streak to five games. In completing 35 of 51 attempts for 377 yards and two touchdowns, Keenum ended the afternoon with solid numbers for fantasy owners courageous enough to […]

Saquon Barkley Catches Two Touchdowns In Loss

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley caught four passes for 81 yards, including two touchdowns, in the Giants last-second loss to the Panthers 33-31. Barkley managed only 48 rushing yards but got the Giants on the board by catching a pass from wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and sprinting 57 yards for the score. […]

Devonta Freeman Has Tough Game Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had a tough game in his return to the lineup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Freeman rushed the ball eight times for 32 yards, with a longest rush of 20 yards. Freeman also added nine yards receiving on two receptions from his two targets. The issue for Freeman […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Throws, Catches Touchdown In Loss

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. enjoyed a breakout performance against the Panthers, catching eight passes for 131 yards and one touchdown. Beckham Jr. also got involved on a trick play, catching a pass from quarterback Eli Manning and then threw a beautiful pass to running back Saquon Barkley for a 57-yard touchdown […]

Matt Ryan Has Tough Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan struggled on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. Ryan threw the ball 38 times, completing 26 for 285 yards and a solitary touchdown. Ryan was sacked six times, and the pressure told as he fumbled a ball which was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. Ryan managed […]

Eli Manning Throws For 326 Yards In Loss

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 22 of 36 passes for 326 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Giants heartbreaking 33-31 loss to the Panthers. Manning got off to another slow start in the game but finished up strong by connecting with Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley for touchdowns in the […]

Rashard Higgins Doubtful To Return In Week 5

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) was injured in Week 5 against the Ravens and is doubtful to return. Higgins was productive before his injury, catching three passes for 66 yards and a touchdown on four targets. With Cleveland looking to limit rookie Antonio Callaway's snaps moving forward, Higgins could be in line for […]

C.J. Prosise, K.J. Wright Inactive

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) are inactive in Week 5 against the Rams. Prosise is a healthy inactive with Chris Carson returning from a one-game absence. Prosise is nowhere near the fantasy radar while being buried on the running back depth chart. The Seahawks could really use Wright back […]

Frank Clark Active In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark (illness) is active in Week 5 against the Rams despite missing practice time this week while dealing with food poisoning. Clark will surely be needed against the high-flying Rams offense on Sunday, especially now that safety Earl Thomas (knee) is out for the season with a broken leg.

Tyler Higbee Playing Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is active in Week 5 against the Seahawks. Higbee has just three catches on five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in four games this season. Even with the tight end position being extremely thin, fantasy owners can't realistically count on Higbee for consistent production.

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman, Joe Staley Active

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (shoulder), cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) and left tackle Joe Staley (knee) are all active for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Breida has been the much more impressive back than Alfred Morris through four weeks, and Breida is in the RB2/3 mix once again in a game where he […]

Marquise Goodwin Ruled Out For Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver (hamstring, quadriceps) will not play in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Goodwin will miss his second game of the season as he deals with multiple leg injuries. The Niners will roll with receivers Pierre Garcon, Kendrick Bourne and Trent Taylor as their primary wideouts. Garcon should see the biggest […]

Marquise Goodwin, Jimmie Ward Inactive

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) and cornerback Jimmie Ward (hamstring) are both inactive for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Goodwin was a game-time decision but obviously didn't show the team enough to start him. So far he's been a bust after being a preseason breakout candidate. His ceiling and floor are […]

Larry Fitzgerald Active Against 49ers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (back, hamstring), who was listed as questionable, is active in Week 5 against the 49ers. There wasn't much of a question as to whether Fitzgerald would play after he was questionable last week and played. The future Hall of Famer has been criminally underused in this struggling offense, but […]

Corey Clement Will Play In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps), who was questionable coming into the game, is active in Week 5 against the Vikings. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) out since Week 1, Clement will serve as the primary backup to Jay Ajayi in a tough matchup. Clement doesn't have much standalone value in fantasy leagues behind Ajayi. […]

Dalvin Cook Out Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook was a long shot to play coming into this one, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to his fantasy owners. The second-year back is now developing an injury-prone label and could become an early-round bust if […]

Brandon LaFell, DeAndre Washington Inactive Against Chargers

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Brandon LaFell and running back Deandre Washington are both healthy inactives for Week 5 against the Chargers. Neither player has yet to be active for Oakland this season. You can continue ignoring them in all fantasy leagues.

Justin Houston Suffers Hamstring Injury

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) left the game early in Week 5 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return. Houston and the Chiefs defense were getting a ton of pressure on Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles in the second half. Houston is a big part of this team's pass rush, so losing him […]

Tyler Kroft Questionable To Return

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) left the game early with a right foot injury in Week 5 against the Dolphins and is questionable to return. Kroft didn't have any catches before departing, while fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah had one catch on his only target for 25 yards. With Tyler Eifert (ankle) done […]

Corey Grant Injured In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) injured his foot in Week 5 against the Chiefs and is questionable to return. Grant had one carry for eight yards before leaving the game. If he's unable to return, T.J. Yeldon will be the workhorse in the backfield, with Brandon Wilds spelling him. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) […]

Mychal Kendricks Fighting Suspension

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks, who is suspended indefinitely for insider trading, is fighting his suspension. Kendricks, the NFLPA and lawyers are fighting to prove that the league doesn't have the right to suspend him "indefinitely," according to league sources. Kendricks pleaded guilty to insider-trading charges on Sept. 6. He's trying to have a specific […]

Earl Thomas To Have Surgery This Week

Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas (leg) will have surgery to have a rod inserted into his broken leg this week, according to a source. The rod will increase the chances of healing and lower the refracture rate. Thomas should be 100 percent before free agency kicks off. With Thomas and Seattle at odds over a […]

Everson Griffen Not Expected To Return Anytime Soon

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is not expected to return to the team "anytime soon," according to a league source. The Pro Bowl defensive end continues to tend to his mental health. Another source said Griffen "could be back next week or could never play again, you just don't know when it comes to […]
