Marquise Goodwin To Be Game-Time Decision Against Arizona

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring, quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Cardinals and will be a game-time decision, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Even if Goodwin plays, he could be followed by shutdown cornerback Patrick Peterson at less than 100 percent. That's on top of already having […]

Amari Cooper Fine To Play In Week 5

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper (foot) was limited in practice all week and is not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Raiders. Cooper was never in any danger of missing this Sunday's game. He's had two really good games and two clunkers so far in four weeks, so it's almost […]

LeGarrette Blount Will Play Against Packers

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (illness) returned to a full practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Packers. Blount remains an option in this committee backfield, but he's been the least effective back among rookie Kerryon Johnson and Theo Riddick. Blount could vulture a touchdown, […]

Marvin Jones, Quandre Diggs Questionable

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (ankle) and defensive back Quandre Diggs (hand) are both listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Packers. Jones picked up an injury at practice Friday, so that doesn't bode well for his status this Sunday. If he must sit out, it'd mean more targets for Golden Tate and […]

Ezekiel Ansah, Michael Roberts Ruled Out

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) and tight end Michael Roberts (knee) were ruled out for Week 5 against the Packers. Ansah was limited in practice all week, while Roberts didn't practice at all. Ansah appears close to a return, but he will miss his fourth straight game of the year. He's the team's […]

Cole Beasley, DeMarcus Lawrence Will Play

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle) and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) both practiced in full on Friday and are not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Texans on Sunday night. Beasley sadly is the team's leading receiver with 16 catches on 18 targets for 185 yards and no touchdowns […]

DeAndre Hopkins, J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney Are Fine

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle, hamstring, thumb) and defensive ends J.J. Watt (thigh) and Jadeveon Clowney (foot) have been taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Wide receiver Sammie Coates (hamstring) will also play, but he has no fantasy value. Hopkins, Watt and Clowney were […]

Terrance Williams Will Not Play in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams is out for Week 5 due to a foot injury. In three games this season, Williams has caught two passes for 18 yards. That's it. It seems entirely possible that the Cowboys could have not ruled him out, had him not play, and no one would have noticed. He's […]

Will Fuller, Keke Coutee Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers Will Fuller (hamstring) and rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring) were both limited all week in practice and are questionable for Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Coutee made his season debut in Week 4 when Fuller was injured and thoroughly impressed. He should be fine to play, but his fantasy […]

T.J. Yeldon, Austin Seferian-Jenkins Will Play

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Chiefs. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out, Yeldon will be the main option in the backfield and is in the RB2 mix this weekend with […]

Sammy Watkins, Dee Ford Listed As Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and linebacker Dee Ford (groin) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable to play in Week 5 against the Jaguars. It seems as though both will have no trouble playing on Sunday. Watkins missed his only target last Monday night before being injured, and […]

Eric Berry Doubtful Against Jags

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) didn't practice all week and is listed as doubtful to face the Jaguars in Week 5. Berry hasn't practiced during the regular season and will not play this weekend. There remains no timetable for his return to help a beleaguered KC secondary. Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles and his […]

Marshawn Lynch Not On Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) wasn't listed on the final injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Chargers. Head coach Jon Gruden didn't sound like he's ready to limit Lynch's heavy workload. “He’s been durable his career. We’ll just keep feeding him Skittles and keep sending him out there as […]

Matt Bryant Could Be In Line For A Solid Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant could have a solid fantasy day Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Falcons struggled in the red zone in their one road game so far this year, allowing Bryant to convert two field goals. In this offense, Bryant should have a decent floor because I expect the Falcons to reach […]

Kenny Vaccaro, Wesley Woodyard Won't Play Sunday

Tennessee Titans strong safety Kenny Vaccaro (elbow) and linebacker Wesley Woodyard (shoulder) both missed practice all week and will not play in Week 5 against the Bills. It's a downgrade for Tennessee's defense overall, but they should still be a strong fantasy play against a Buffalo offense that was shut out last week by a […]

Corey Davis, Marcus Mariota Not On Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) and quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) both practiced in full on Friday and are not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Bills. Both players were never in danger of missing this game. With Mariota's elbow getting back to full health, it has put Davis back […]

Austin Hooper Could Bounce Back Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has a good chance for a bounce-back performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The Steelers defense ranks second worse against opposing tight ends, surrendering nearly 17 fantasy points per game to them. Hooper has had two down weeks with just 42 receiving yards and no red-zone targets in […]

Julio Jones Could Be In For Tough Day Despite Good Matchup

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones could actually be in for a tough day Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite the good matchup this Steelers defense provides. Jones will likely draw the coverage of corner Joe Haden the majority of the time on Sunday. So far this season Haden has allowed just a reception percentage […]

Trae Waynes Ruled Out Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes (concussion) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Eagles. The Vikes will be a little short-handed in the secondary on Sunday, meaning Kamar Aiken or Jordan Matthews will likely draw rookie cornerback Mike Hughes on the outside in three-receiver sets. Alshon Jeffery and […]

Ito Smith's Role Unknown Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has an unknown role at this stage for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since Devonta Freeman has been out Smith has been averaging 8.33 touches per game. However, when Freeman was active in Week 1 Smith did not see a single touch. It is unlikely that Smith will […]

Alshon Jeffery, Jason Peters Off Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (chest) and left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Vikings. Jeffery had over 100 yards and a score in his season debut last week, but it won't be as easy for him in […]

Tevin Coleman Could See Drop In Touches Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could see a reduction in touches against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. With Devonta Freeman back in action the Falcons could split their touches three ways with Ito Smith also seeing touches. That would mean a decrease in touches for Coleman, who averages less than 10 rushes per game […]

Devonta Freeman Could Struggle In Week 5 Return

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman could be in line for a tough day upon his return to the Falcons lineup in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers defense ranks fifth best against running backs in terms of fantasy points surrendered per game. In addition, it is likely that Freeman will be on […]

Matt Ryan In Line For Another Big Day

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan could be in line for another big day against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The Steelers currently rank second in fantasy points surrendered against opposing quarterbacks, giving up close to 29 points per game against them. However, Ryan has an average quarterback rating eight points lower when playing outdoors than […]

Charles Clay Questionable Against Titans

Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay (ankle) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable for Week 5 against the Titans. After getting in a full practice on Friday, we'd fully expect Clay to suit up. Even with Buffalo searching for reliable receiving options, Clay hasn't made much noise through four weeks. In a tough […]

Corey Clement Questionable Against Vikings

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Vikings. Clement is in danger of missing his second straight game. Even if he were to be active, he'd see limited touches behind starter Jay Ajayi in the backfield in a tough matchup. Clement should only be stashed in […]

Darren Sproles Out In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Vikings. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener on Thursday night, and there remains no timetable for his return. With Corey Clement (quadriceps) potentially missing his second straight game, Wendell Smallwood could be Jay Ajayi's main backup this weekend. […]

Devonta Freeman, Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman Fine

Atlanta Falcons running backs Devonta Freeman (knee) and Tevin Coleman (shin) and wide receivers Julio Jones (ankle, hand) and Mohamed Sanu (hip) have all been taken off the injury report and will play in Week 5 against the Steelers. Coleman, Freeman and Sanu all practiced in full on Friday, while Jones was limited. Linebacker Vic […]

Mike Gesicki A Low-End Play In Week 5

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is a low-end play in Week 5 as the Dolphins offense continues to rank in the bottom three of plays per game, and Gesicki continues to be respected and covered well by opposing defenses. The Dolphins believe that Gesicki is a solid pass-catching tight end but there just hasn't […]

Mike Williams Is A Risky Play

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams is on that cusp of breaking out, but the biggest thing holding him back at this point is opportunities. Williams is obviously a supreme talent, but he's starting to fall into the same trap that plagues every wide receiver on the Chargers. He simply doesn't get enough looks […]
