Austin Seferian-Jenkins Has Some Upside In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins has struggled this season, not posting more than 25 yards in any game, but if there's a time for him to break out and find fantasy value it'll be in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who allow the third-most points per game to opposing tight ends. Still, […]

Keelan Cole A Risky Play In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole was targeted just three times against the Jets in Week 4, finishing with two catches for 15 yards in a game where Jacksonville's passing attack totaled 388 yards. That usage -- as well as Dede Westbrook's target share -- is frustrating for Cole owners, who will find it hard […]

Danny Amendola A Poor Fantasy Option In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is a low-end fantasy option in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed the ninth most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, however Amendola has been so un-involved in the offense that he offers little fantasy appeal. He has just 16 targets and 13 catches on […]

Dede Westbrook Has Upside In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook exploded for 130 yards on nine receptions in Week 4 against the Jets and could find himself in line for another good outing against a struggling Chiefs defense. Westbrook was targeted a team-high 13 times against New York, suggesting that he's becoming one of quarterback Blake Bortles favorite targets. […]

T.J. Yeldon Has Chance To Shine In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon has dealt with an ankle injury all week, but it's not expected to keep him out of Sunday's meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs boast a defense that allows more fantasy points per game to running backs than any other team, and Yeldon has proven himself to […]

Blake Bortles A Strong Option Against Chiefs

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is a strong fantasy option this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterback this season, while Bortles has a pair of games with more than 300 passing yards. Bortles has thrown seven touchdowns and just three interceptions this season and […]

Mike Davis May See Some Work

Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis was a surprise starter last week against Arizona, and even though he excelled, Chris Carson's return from a hip injury leaves Davis' future in question. Head coach Pete Carroll was coy with reporters this week as he refused to give away his game plan for Sunday, hinting at possibly […]

Frank Gore A Flex Option In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a flex option in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Gore out-touched and out-gained fellow running back Kenyan Drake in Week 5, as well as playing on 51% of snaps compared to Drake's 45%. This is a neutral matchup, as the Bengals have allowed the 14th most fantasy […]

Chris Carson Returns to Action Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson will be playing on Sunday against the Rams, and he may go back to being the team's primary RB. Unfortunately, that's not quite as clear cut as it might seem. Carson's one-week absence allowed third-string running back Mike Davis to put up 101 yards against the Cardinals, and while […]

Albert Wilson A WR4 In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is a low-end fantasy option in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game to wide receivers and the seventh most passing yards. Wilson had a disappointing game in Week 4 with only four catches for 19 yards, but he […]

Terrance Williams Put On Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys placed wide receiver Terrance Williams (foot) on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Williams has battled his injury and off-field injuries this year and hasn't made an impact on the field, catching both of his targets for only 18 yards in three games played. With Williams out of the picture, it should help rookie […]

Kenny Stills A High-Upside WR3 In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is a high-upside WR3 in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season and the seventh most passing yards. Stills will draw veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, who has really struggled against top wide receivers this […]

Travis Frederick Being Placed On IR

The Dallas Cowboys will place center Travis Frederick (illness) on Injured Reserve to make room for defensive tackle David Irving on the active roster, according to a source. It's another blow to an offensive line that has been in decline. Joe Looney is expected to continue manning the center spot for Dallas moving forward.

Cameron Wake Ruled Out Against Bengals

The Miami Dolphins have ruled defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) out for Week 5 against the Bengals. With Andre Branch questionable to play, Miami's defensive line could be a weakness for them this Sunday. That is great news for Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and the team's running game. Wake has recorded 12 tackles and one […]

Lions Waiving Hakeem Valles

The Detroit Lions waived tight end Hakeem Valles on Saturday. With the Lions having a plethora of injuries to their defense, they will likely use the spot to add another defender ahead of Week 5 against the Packers. Valles had only two catches on three targets for 11 yards in three games this year. Even […]

Rishard Matthews To Work Out For Browns, Cardinals

Free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews has workouts planned with the Cleveland Browns on Monday and the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday. Matthews was curiously not being used by Tennessee's new coaching staff, so he asked for and was granted his release. He is just two years removed from a 945-yard, nine-touchdown season, so Matthews can still […]

Evan Engram Getting Closer To A Return

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is out in Week 5 against the Panthers, but he did some running and light cutting on a side field during practice this week, marking the first time he was able to do these activities since he sprained his right MCL two weeks ago. He'll miss his […]

Joe Mixon Not Expected To Be Fully Unleashed

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis doesn't expect to fully unleash running back Joe Mixon (knee) in Week 5 against the Dolphins after he missed some time with his knee injury. Lewis said there will be some limits for Mixon due to his conditioning taking a hit during the rehab process. That means that fourth-round […]

Alex Erickson's Role To Increase

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson's role is expected to increase in Week 5 against the Dolphins with John Ross (groin) ruled out. Erickson earned the most snaps at receiver of any game this year by a wide margin in Week 4 and was also the third running back behind Giovani Bernard and rookie Mark […]

Frank Clark Insistent That He's Playing

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark has been questionable all week to play Sunday versus the Rams due to food poisoning, but according to him, he's definitely playing. Clark took to Twitter on Friday night to tell followers that while he's lost a few pounds and been on IV fluids, "Im (sic) playing this Sunday, […]

Michael Crabtree Looks To Bounce Back Against Browns

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree has failed to live up to expectations so far this season. Crabtree was brought in this offseason to be the team's No. 1 receiver, but he has had a bad case of the drops. He also has only one touchdown this season, which is real surprising for someone who […]

49ers Hopeful That Jimmy Garoppolo Will Be Ready For OTAs

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he was told that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's (knee) surgery on Wednesday to fix a torn ACL went "as good as it could've," and Shanahan is hopeful that the quarterback can be available for part of the offseason program on a limited basis. Barring any setbacks, Garoppolo should […]

49ers Offensive Line Banged Up Entering Week 5

San Francisco 49ers center Weston Richburg (knee) and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) are both questionable to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals, while right guard Mike Person (knee) was limited in two practices this week. Left tackle Joe Staley (knee) is the most in question and probably the most important, as he'd be […]

Tyler Higbee, Mark Barron Questionable

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) and linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are both questionable for Week 5 against the Seahawks. Higbee is fully expected to play, while head coach Sean McVay said he's "feeling good" about Barron making his season debut. However, Barron could be […]

Joe Flacco Looks To Continue Mastery Over Browns

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had a solid first quarter of the season and will continue that trend against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. Flacco has directed the Ravens to victory in six of their last seven meetings with the Browns, where he has averaged 263.2 passing yards per game while also tossing 12 […]

Marcus Mariota Looks to Stay Sharp Against Buffalo

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota looked alive and well last week against Philadelphia. There was no sign of him elbow being an issue as he played every single snap for the first time this season and helped lead his team to an overtime victory over the defending champions. As long as Mariota's healthy, he will continue […]

Dion Lewis Has Some Flex Appeal Sunday

Titans running back Dion Lewis has out-snapped backfield mate Derrick Henry in three of four games this season. Lewis is the team's primary receiving back and has outscored Henry on the year. While his ceiling is at best that of an RB2, it's fair to say that this Sunday in Buffalo, Lewis will have a […]

Aaron Colvin Out At Least Six Weeks

Houston Texans slot cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle) will be out at least six weeks, according to a source. Houston's secondary wasn't very deep to begin with, so this could become a problem for them moving forward. Shareece Wright and Kayvon Webster should help fill in down the middle. This is good news for the Cowboys […]

Jared Cook Primed For Another Big Week

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook is looking to continue his trend of being one of the top options in their offense. This week he is facing off against a Chargers defense who come in with the 18th DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) versus the pass. Cook has five or more receptions in three of his […]

Martavis Bryant Yet To Have Breakout Game

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant is still looking for his breakout game of the season, which could come this Sunday versus the Chargers. Bryant dropped what would've been a long touchdown last week and hasn't been able to show his downfield talent. He is only playing on 43% of the snaps this season, so […]
