Rashod Bateman Out For Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) has been ruled out of the Week 6 game against the New York Giants. Bateman missed last week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, so his chance to miss this week was always very real. In his absence, Devin Duvernay is a playable flex option, though the Giants have... Read More

James Conner Out For Week 6

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) has officially been ruled out for the Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Backup running back Darrel Williams (knee) has also been ruled out, so Eno Benjamin is the clear primary back for Arizona in this contest.

Cooper Kupp, Tyler Higbee Expected To Play In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (foot) and tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) are expected to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6 despite being listed as questionable on the final injury report.

Cam Akers Out For Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers won't play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. Head coach Sean McVay said the team is "working through" some things with Akers, so his absence seems to be for personal reasons. It's too early to speculate on what's going on and what this means moving forward, but... Read More

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 6

What better way to define the tight end position than to say that a player who has more special team snaps than tight end snaps is currently the TE3 in half-PPR scoring. That is the landscape fantasy managers are being asked to muddle through at this maddening position and there doesn't seem to be any... Read More

Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney Out For Week 6

New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) have been ruled out of the Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens. This doesn't come as a surprise, so fantasy managers should be prepared since neither has provided anything this year. With Sterling Shepard (knee) out for the season, Darius Slayton and...

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 6: Najee Harris, Drake London, Russell Wilson

With injuries and middling performances ravaging fantasy teams to start the season, it's ok to consider benching players who were relatively highly drafted (top-100) for this week and moving forward. This may be hard to stomach as you bench your QB1 or RB1 for a free-agent acquisition, but sometimes such measures must be taken to... Read More

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 6

Just like that, we have seen five weeks of the 2022 season pass by.

Just as we all predicted. Your fantasy team has... Read More

Robbie Gould Good To Go For Week 6

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is not on the team's injury report for the Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons, so he'll be starting just a week after suffering a knee contusion. Sam Sloman was brought in just in case, but Gould can be inserted into fantasy lineups in a game in which... Read More

Dawson Knox To Play In Week 6

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (foot/hamstring) will play against the Kansas City Chiefs after missing last week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Knox hasn't had a boom fantasy performance yet, but it could come in this game that's expected to be a shootout. Fantasy points against statistics should be thrown by the wayside in... Read More

George Kittle Projects As Low-End TE1 In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has a solid matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. The Falcons are allowing 278.2 yards through the air per game, fourth-most in the league. They are allowing the fifth-most points to opposing tight ends. Kittle had his best game of the season last week, gaining 47... Read More

Packers Defense Not A Lock For Fantasy Success In Week 6

The Green Bay Packers defense will face the New York Jets in Lambeau this Sunday. The Packers' defense was a letdown for fantasy purposes last week in a plus matchup against a banged-up Giants passing attack, and they do not have as favorable a matchup this week as many may believe. The New York Jets... Read More

Mason Crosby A Borderline Streaming Option

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 38-year-old has attempted two field goals each of the past two weeks, finishing inside the top 15. The matchup against the Jets offers the veteran kicker little upside, as the team has had only nine field goals... Read More

Robert Tonyan A Low-Tier Streaming Option

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. Since being targeted seven times in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 28-year-old has played fewer than 50% of the offensive snaps and totaled six targets over the past two weeks. The matchup against the... Read More

Romeo Doubs Has Flex Appeal In Week 6

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The rookie had his second-lowest fantasy output of the season last week against the New York Giants, catching three passes for 29 yards. He also recorded his lowest snap percentage since becoming the starter opposite Allen Lazard... Read More

Gus Edwards Close To Return

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) could make his season debut as soon as Week 7 after being designated to return off of the Physically Unable to Perform list early last week. Edwards should be picked up and stashed in deeper leagues as a committee back for Baltimore. J.K. Dobbins is considered to be... Read More

Brandon Aiyuk A Possible WR3 In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who plays the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6, has yet to have the breakout some had hoped for since his strong finish to last season. He has finished as a WR4 three times in the first five weeks, which would only be a borderline flex play, and never... Read More

Allen Lazard A Solid Flex Option In Week 6

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 26-year-old has averaged seven targets over the past three weeks, scoring twice and going over 100 yards once. Lazard is the clear top target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers when attempting to move the chains or find... Read More

AJ Dillon Will Try To Bounce Back In Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 24-year-old saw his lowest touch total of the season by a wide margin last week, recording only six carries. It will likely go down as his lowest total of the season, and he has a plus... Read More

Aaron Jones A Fringe RB1 In Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 27-year-old recorded his highest snap percentage of the season last week and finished with more carries than teammate AJ Dillon for the first time in 2022. Dillon will finish with more carries than Jones most of... Read More

Shaquille Leonard, Kwity Paye Out For Week 6

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back, concussion, nose) and defensive end Kwity Paye (ankel) have both been ruled out of the Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts defense was outmatched in the first meeting with Jacksonville, so this could be significant for fantasy football. The outlooks of the Jaguars' offensive players aren't... Read More

Aaron Rodgers A Solid Fantasy Option In Week 6

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 38-year-old has dealt with a thumb injury in practice this week, but head coach Matt LaFleur said, "we don't have much concern as far as gameday." Rodgers has yet to finish inside the top 12 this... Read More

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 6
