Giants DST Facing Another Tough Assignment

The New York Giants defense racked up their first two turnovers of the season against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. The unit also scored a touchdown (the Giants only touchdown of the game) on a 102-yard interception return. It was the first noteworthy defensive performance of the season for the G-Men but it should […]

Jalin Hyatt Still Looking To Make An Impact

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is seeing more time on the playing field but is still failing to make much of an impact. In the rookie's last three games, he's been shut out twice and caught just two passes for 10 yards in the other. The entire Giants' offense has been a disaster […]

Isaiah Hodgins Seeing Snap Numbers Tumble

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins may not get a ton of opportunities to show off against his former team, the Buffalo Bills, in Week 6. After playing at least 60% of the offensive snaps in Weeks 1-3, his time on the field dipped below 40% in Weeks 4 and 5. On the season, […]

Darius Slayton Projects To Be A Non-Factor In Week 6

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton remains second on the team in targets for the 2023 season but hasn't put together one fantasy-worthy game so far. His catch rate sits at just 54 percent, resulting in 13 receptions for 167 yards through five games. There aren't any wide receivers on the Giants producing for […]

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) has no official injury designation for Week 6, despite a pair of limited practices to end the week.

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Two undefeated teams (and one winless team) remain as Week 6 of the NFL season begins. It's not always that clear-cut, however. Some one-loss teams have looked shaky. A few teams with two losses or more are presumably better than their record shows. And, somehow, the Steelers are atop the AFC North. Each week of […]

Tyrod Taylor Getting The Start In Place Of Daniel Jones

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor will be under center on Sunday night with starter Daniel Jones (neck) ruled out. This will be the 34-year-old's first start since the 2021 season and it will come against one of his former teams, the Buffalo Bills.

Hayden Hurst A TE2 In Week 6

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst will take on the Miami Dolphins on the road in Week 6. Hurst had a big Week 1 but has mostly been invisible since, having failed to go over 21 receiving yards in each of his past four games. The Dolphins have been a decent defense to target with […]

Browns Defense Tough To Trust In Week 6

The Cleveland Browns have sported one of the best defenses in the league through the first five weeks of the season, but they will be challenged at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6. The 49ers' offense has been tough to slow down in 2023 as they are second in the NFL in […]

Dustin Hopkins A Low-End Option In Week 6

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins hit his lone field-goal try, a 53-yarder, in a Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

David Njoku A TE2 In Week 6

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (arm, face) heads into a Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers with a questionable tag.

Dolphins running back De'Von Achane tallied 151 rushing yards and a touchdown on just 11 carries, and […]

Elijah Moore A Flex In Week 6

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore will take on the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 6 after enjoying his bye in Week 5. Moore will be without Deshaun Watson (shoulder) for the second straight game, which will be an issue against a tough San Francisco defense. The Browns will turn to veteran P.J. […]

Amari Cooper A WR3 In Week 6

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper will suit up against the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 6. Cooper had his bye in Week 5 but was quiet in his team's Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, catching just one ball for 16 yards. He could be in for another slow outing as […]

Kareem Hunt A Low-End Option In Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt will suit up against the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 6. Hunt has now played in two games for the Browns, totaling 10 carries for 25 yards and adding two catches for 22 yards as the breather back for Jerome Ford. The 49ers will be a tough […]

Jerome Ford A High-End RB3 In Week 6

After dealing with a knee injury early in the week, Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford got in a full practice on Thursday and Friday and is good to go for a Week 6 tilt against the San Francisco 49ers. Ford will operate as the team's lead back in what will be a tough matchup […]

P.J. Walker A QB2 Vs. 49ers In Week 6

Cleveland Browns quarterback P.J. Walker will take over as the starter for the injured Deshaun Watson (shoulder) in a Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
