Ka'imi Fairbairn A Solid Start In Week 6

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn should be rostered in all formats and is a solid fantasy option in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Fairbairn is coming off his best fantasy day of the season, converting a season-high four field goals and finishing with 15 fantasy points. After that performance, Fairbairn has converted on […]

Texans D/ST A Middle-Of-The-Pack Option In Week 6

The Houston Texans' defense has been much better than people probably thought coming into the year, and they'll have a chance to show their potential in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Houston's defense was solid last week, finishing with two forced fumbles and six fantasy points. The one downside of the Texans D/ST […]

Jordan Mason Not A Good Option In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason will make the trip to Cleveland with the team to take on the Browns on Sunday. Last week in the absence of regular backup Elijah Mitchell (knee), Mason had 10 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown versus Dallas. He failed to catch his only target. Mason surprisingly […]

Dalton Schultz Not A Must-Start In Week 6

It appears Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is starting to build a rapport with quarterback C.J. Stroud. But Schultz might struggle to find openings in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints defense ranks number one against fantasy tight ends this season, holding that group to just 4.6 half-PPR fantasy points per […]

Samaje Perine Hurt In Loss To Chiefs

Not only did Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine (leg, knee) have a terrible game in the 19-8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football, but he also apparently suffered a leg/knee injury late in the fourth quarter. Perine didn't see a single carry in this one with Javonte Williams returning from […]

Nico Collins A Flex Play In Week 6

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is looking to bounce back in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints after a mediocre performance last week. Collins had just three catches on four targets for 39 yards while being shadowed by Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell. Entering Sunday's matchup, the third-year wideout will have another tough […]

Dameon Pierce Draws A Tough Matchup In Week 6

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce might be hard to trust in fantasy at home against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Pierce will face a Saints run defense that is allowing just 91 rush yards and 12 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats to start the season. The second-year back, who's only […]

Greg Dulcich Aggravates Hamstring Injury On Thursday

The Denver Broncos activated tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) from Injured Reserve and made him active on Thursday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. His return was short-lived, though, as he aggravated his hammy and was listed as questionable to return to the contest. The 23-year-old caught one of his three targets for a […]

Christian McCaffrey Remains Top Option In Tough Matchup

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will travel to Cleveland to take on a solid Browns run defense in Week 6. Last week, McCaffrey handled 19 carries for 51 yards rushing and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 27 yards receiving. The touchdown continued his franchise record-breaking streak, now having scored […]

Jerry Jeudy Posts 14 Yards In Thursday Night Loss

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy came into the Thursday night game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs looking for his first statement game. He didn't have much of a chance in the 19-8 loss in a game where quarterback Russell Wilson was held under 100 yards passing against a stingy Chiefs pass defense. Jeudy […]

C.J. Stroud A Risky QB1 In Week 6

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has exceeded all expectations in the early going. But he faces a hard challenge in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints come in as the fourth-best defensive passing unit through five weeks, which could spell trouble for Stroud's fantasy value this Sunday. He will also likely be […]

Courtland Sutton Scores For Fourth Time This Year

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton saved his fantasy line in the 19-8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football by scoring his fourth touchdown of the season on an excellent one-handed catch in the fourth quarter. Sutton finished the contest with team-highs across the board in catches (four), targets (six) and […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Sees Nine Touches In Loss To Chiefs

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin remained involved in the offense in the Thursday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs despite the return of Javonte Williams from a quadriceps injury that kept him out in Week 5. McLaughlin carried the ball seven times (three fewer than Williams) for 30 yards (4.3 yards […]

Chad Ryland Not On Fantasy Radar In Week 6

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland can be avoided in fantasy leagues ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Initial concerns about the rookie's usage in a struggling offense have evolved to include questions surrounding his accuracy. Ryland is just 4-for-8 on field goals and has missed four attempts over the last three […]

Patriots Defense Tough To Trust In Week 6

The New England Patriots defense is not a very trustworthy option for fantasy football in Week 6. Though a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders could be tempting for fantasy managers, there are two factors that serve as deterrents. First, the Patriots' defense has endured its fair share of struggles already, and that was before […]

Javonte Williams Leads Broncos Backfield On Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams returned from a one-game absence due to a quadriceps injury on Thursday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs to lead the backfield with 10 carries for 52 yards (5.2 yards per carry). Williams wasn't targeted at all in the passing game in the 19-8 loss on the road. […]

Brock Purdy A Borderline Starter In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy faces a tough test this week when the team travels to Cleveland to take on the Browns' top-ranked pass defense. Purdy has the Bay Area abuzz after another consecutive win last week, this one against a quality Dallas Cowboys defense. In that game, he was 17-for-24 with four touchdowns […]

Hunter Henry Drops To TE2 Tier For Week 6

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is difficult to trust in fantasy football ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite a hot start that saw Henry rank as the fantasy TE2 through the first two weeks, he has quieted down dramatically and even left Week 5 with zero catches. Although the […]

Russell Wilson Looks Washed Up In Week 6 Loss

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was beginning to look rejuvenated in head coach Sean Payton's offense early in the year, but he's taken a major step back the last two weeks. After throwing for a season-low 177 yards in Week 5 against the New York Jets, Wilson looked even worse in the 19-8 loss to […]

DeVante Parker Lacks Upside In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker lacks big-play upside and should be avoided in fantasy football as he faces the Las Vegas Raiders. While Vegas' secondary is suspect at best, Parker's age and role in the struggling New England offense have limited his production this season. Despite playing a whopping 98 percent of snaps […]

Kendrick Bourne Only Has Appeal In Deep Leagues

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has low-end fantasy appeal heading into Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots' offense has been terrible lately, but perhaps clashes with the Jets, Cowboys, and Saints made New England look worse than it actually is. A matchup with the mediocre-at-best Raiders could give the Patriots […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has Low Floor In Week 6

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is difficult to trust in fantasy football leagues ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Elliott's only flash of fantasy relevance this season came against the Jets when he totaled 87 scrimmage yards. The Patriots' steady struggles on the offensive side of the ball make it […]

Peyton Hendershot Lands On Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys placed tight end Peyton Hendershot (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. In corresponding moves, the Cowboys signed tight end Sean McKeon from the practice squad to the active roster, signed linebacker Rashaan Evans to the practice squad and designated cornerback Nahshon Wright (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve. Hendershot has missed each […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Enters Pivotal Week 6

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is preparing for a Week 6 clash with the Las Vegas Raiders that will offer plenty of insight into his season-long value. The 24-year-old has struggled against the Jets, Cowboys, and Saints, but those are very difficult defenses. He has a chance to get things right on Sunday […]

Donald Parham Jr. Limited In Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (wrist) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday. Parham had the bye in Week 5 to rest the sprained right wrist that he suffered in the Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Based on his limited session to begin the practice week, Parham […]

Juwan Johnson Remains Absent From The Practice Field

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Johnson initially injured his calf during pre-game warmups before Week 4 and hasn't practiced or played since. It's beginning to look like he's going to miss a third straight game in Week 6 against the Houston Texans unless he returns […]

Demario Douglas Trending In The Wrong Direction

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) also having not practiced at this week, the Patriots receiving corps could be extremely thin against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. Both wideouts are running out of time to clear the […]

Jonnu Smith A Full-Go Thursday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. It comes a day after Smith was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. It sets the 28-year-old up to be active for the Week 6 game this Sunday against the visiting Washington Commanders. Smith has gotten involved in […]

David Njoku Still Missing From Practice

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (face, hand) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Njoku suffered bad burns on his face and hand during an accident at home before the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but he managed to play through the injuries and caught six passes for 46 yards. The Browns […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Feeling Better, Practicing In Full

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, and he feels that his injured ankle is much better this week. The 30-year-old missed two games after injuring his ankle in Week 2, but even when he's been on the field, he's been […]
