Julio Jones Will Be Active Today Against Washington

According to Jay Glazer, Falcons Wide Receiver Julio Jones felt his hamstring tighten late this week, however, NFL Network's Tiffany Blackmon reported that Jones is expected to play today against Washington. This is not Jones' first time on the injury report. In most cases, when he is active, he needs to be in your fantasy lineup. Jones […]

Can Rueben Randle Keep His Touchdown Streak Going?

Rueben Randle and the New York Giants will look to exploit the San Fransisco 49ers soft secondary in tonight's matchup. Randle has scored a touchdown in his last two games, and the Niners defense is currently in the top ten for giving up fantasy points at the wide receiver position. With Victor Cruz still out with […]

Julius Thomas Set To Make Jaguars Debut

Jaguars Tight End Julius Thomas will make his season debut today against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Thomas is coming off of a season where he caught 43 passes for 489 yards and 12 touchdowns in Denver. Now in Jacksonville, he will likely be one of Blake Bortles favorite targets as the Jaguars do not expect […]

Charles Clay Remains a Strong Tight End Play in Week 5

There haven't been many more tight ends who have enjoyed the success that Charles Clay has this season, and there's no reason to think he should slow down this week. Clay has quickly become Tyrod Taylor's favorite target so far, and a banged-up Sammy Watkins means Clay could see even more targets against the Tennessee […]

Matt Ryan in For a Big Game Against Redskins

The Atlanta Falcons are 4-0, and their offense strongly resembles the Falcons' offenses we were used to seeing when they first drafted Julio Jones. Matt Ryan has yet to really explode against any opponent this season, but that could all change on Sunday. Ryan is averaging 18 points per week in standard leagues, and this […]

Sell On Calvin Johnson This Week

Calvin Johnson is a once-in-a-generation receiver, and he's aimlessly wasting his career by playing for the Detroit Lions. It's a shame, really. Johnson was once an unguardable receiver who made defensive backs look foolish when he'd put his big body in place to snag would-be interceptions. Unfortunately for Megatron and fantasy owners who thought he'd […]

Blake Bortles Due for Solid Outing Against Bucs

Usually, anybody who suggests starting a Jacksonville Jaguar in fantasy football should be considered borderline insane, but quarterback Blake Bortles might be the one exception to that rule. The third overall pick from last year's draft is finally starting to come into his own, and fantasy owners deflated by the bye week should consider taking a […]

Peyton Manning Set to Thrive in Week 5

Manning was indestructible during his first three seasons in Denver, but is Father Time finally starting to catch up with him? Manning isn't putting up abysmal numbers, but he isn't putting up the sort of numbers that justify drafting him so high. Though he's off to a slower start than expected, he's in for a juicy […]

Amari Cooper Still A Must-Start in Week 5?

Amari Cooper has been everything as advertised since the Oakland Raiders drafted him No. 4 overall in this year's NFL draft. The rookie phenom is on pace for more than 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns this season, and he's quickly become Derek Carr's favorite target. The Raiders will be in for quite a challenge as […]

Dorial Green-Beckham Involvement In Titans Offense To Increase

Rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham will be expected to play “more and more” according to Tennessee Titans general manager Ruston Webster. Marcus Mariota has impressed as quarterback, and Green-Beckham has been one of his favorite red zone targets. The issue with Green-Beckham has been his limited playing time leading to very few targets. Green-Beckham has […]

Marshawn Lynch Officially Ruled Out, Will Return Next Week

Marshawn Lynch’s availability for Week 5 has been the most discussed fantasy news story of the week, and clarity is finally here. The Seattle Seahawks have officially ruled their star running back out for the big game against the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Lynch has been suffering from calf and hamstring issues, causing the Seahawks […]

Martavis Bryant's Return May Be Delayed Another Week

The question marks surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers passing game continue as Martavis Bryant’s status for Monday night’s game vs. the San Diego Chargers is in doubt. Following a four game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy, Bryant is officially cleared to compete. The problem is that the very talented Steelers wide receiver has […]

Leonard Hankerson Probable For Great Matchup Against Washington

The Atlanta Falcons have proven to be one of the best fantasy offenses in the NFL this season. Leonard Hankerson has established himself as the second-best wide receiver in Atlanta, completely overtaking Roddy White. Hankerson has been battling a thumb injury but was officially listed as probable for the Week 5 game vs. the Washington […]

Joique Bell Ruled Out Makes Ameer Abdullah A Great Play

The Detroit Lions are the only team in the NFL yet to secure a victory this season, and the fantasy impact has been felt in disappointing outings for most of their stars. That should change this week with Ameer Abdullah expected to get the majority of touches at running back. Joique Bell is officially ruled out with […]

Antonio Brown Feeling More Comfortable With Vick, Bound For Big Game

We’re just one game into the Michael Vick era in Pittsburgh following the knee injury to Ben Roethlisberger, and things have become terrifying for fantasy owners counting on Antonio Brown. The Steelers wide receiver ended his 35-game streak of five or more catches and at least fifty yards (five catches and 42 yards) in Vick’s first […]

Kenny Britt Misses Practice on Friday for Rams

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Kenny Britt missed practice on Friday with a swollen knee. Despite missing practice, the team lists him as probable for the Rams' Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Britt has had a very inconsistent season thus far. He caught just two balls in each of the Rams' first […]

Victor Cruz Out Again

When it comes to fantasy football there are always a lot of unknowns. But one thing that's starting to become a certainty is Victor Cruz's availability (or lack there of). The wide receiver has been ruled out yet again. Cruz is officially out indefinitely with no timetable for a return. Considering the team has yet […]

Julio Jones Listed as Questionable for Week 5

Atlanta Falcons stud wide receiver Julio Jones is questionable for Week 5 against the Washington Redskins. The receiver is currently dealing with a toe and hamstring injury. Although Jones is nicked up, this isn;t the first time he has appeared on the Falcons injury report and it likely won't be his last. However, all indications […]

Karlos Williams Ruled Out for Week 5

Many people thought Buffalo Bills running back Karlos Williams would shine with LeSean McCoy out of action. Unfortunately, Willaims has now been ruled out of action himself after suffering a concussion in Week 4. With Williams out of action, the Bills will turn to Anthony "Boobie" Dixon. Since the Bills have nobody else to line […]

DeSean Jackson and Jordan Reed Ruled Out Week 5

Both wide receiver DeSean Jackson and tight end Jordan Reed have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Jackson has been dealing with a hamstring injury while Reed is recovering from a concussion. With Jackson out of action, Jamison Crowder will continue to start opposite of Pierre Garcon. Crowder can be considered […]

Alshon Jeffery Sits Out of Practice on Friday

It doesn't look like Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will be ready to return in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. His hamstring injury must have flared up because he was held out of practice completely on Friday. This comes after Jeffery was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday and Thursday. […]

Tevin Coleman to Steal Devonta Freeman's Thunder?

No running back has been more impressive that Atlanta Falcons' Devonta Freeman during the past couple of weeks. With rookie Tevin Coleman out with a rib injury, Freeman has taken advantage of his playing time and dominated opposing defenses. But when both backs were healthy in Week 1, it was Coleman who seemed to be […]

Andre Johnson to Face Former Team for First Time

Indianapolis Colts WR Andre Johnson will take the field Thursday night for his first game against his former team, the Houston Texans.  Johnson joined the Colts in the offseason as the Texans all-time leader in receiving yards (13,597), catches (1,012) and touchdowns (64). Johnson has struggled with his new team, totaling only seven receptions for […]

Ryan Mallet to Remain Starter vs Colts Tonight

Despite being replaced by Brian Hoyer in last week's blowout loss to the Falcons, Ryan Mallet is expected to get the start yet again in Thursday's game against the Colts.  So far Mallet has posted a disappointing completion percentage of 44%, with an overall quarterback rating of 46.8.  He struggled to get things going against the […]

Arian Foster to Be More Involved Tonight Against Colts

After debuting last week vs the Falcons, Arian Foster will be back in a Week 5 matchup vs the Indianapolis Colts.  Foster's debut wasn't particularly impressive, rushing eight times for 10 yards and catching three passes for 25 yards.  The real takeaway from his performance last week was that his groin didn't appear to bother him and […]

Steve Smith Sr. Highly Unlikely for Week 5

Steve Smith Sr. missed practice on Thursday and seems very doubtful to suit up for the Baltimore Ravens Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Smith Sr. is currently dealing with four microfractures in his back. No timetable has ever been given for Smith Sr.'s return to the football field, but it seems highly likely […]

Colin Kaepernick Afraid to Throw the Football?

In order to be a great quarterback in the NFL, you have to have all of the obvious skills: a strong arm, an accurate arm, able to read defenses, etc. One skill that usually goes unmentioned is having a short-term memory. Even the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history made mistakes and threw the occasional interception, […]

Karlos Williams and LeSean McCoy Not Seen at Practice Thursday

Buffalo Bills running backs Karlos Williams and LeSean McCoy were not seen at practice on Thursday. McCoy was already considered highly doubtful for Week 5 due to a hamstring injury, but Williams (concussion) was thought to have an outside chance at playing against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Although there's still a chance Williams will […]

Patriots Lock Up Dion Lewis Through 2017

Dion Lewis has been a pleasant surprise for the New England Patriots and fantasy football owners. Rarely does Bill Belichick enter contract negotiations with players during the season, but he made an exception for Lewis. The Patriots and Lewis agreed to a two-year contract extension, worth $4.4 million, which will keep the running back in […]

Matt Hasselbeck to Start Tonight Against Texans

Indianapolis Colts QB Matt Hasselbeck is expected to get the start in Thursday night's game vs the Houston Texans.  The Colts were optimistic that starting QB Andrew Luck would be back in action tonight after missing last Sunday's game vs the Jaguars, but Luck's shoulder injury on a short week of rest will likely keep […]
