CeeDee Lamb Could Do Well Despite A Tough Matchup In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could do well in Week 5 despite a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Jameson Williams A Shaky Flex Option In Season Debut

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is set to return from a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy in Week 5. Williams was originally suspended for six weeks, but the league changed its policy and reduced his suspension to four games. He'll face the struggling Carolina Panthers defense on Sunday, but his floor is […]

Tony Pollard Could Bounce Back In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard could bounce back in Week 5 despite a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Pollard put up just eight fantasy points in Week 4, finishing as the overall RB27, by far his lowest finish of the season. He's still the fantasy RB10 but things look even better as […]

Sam LaPorta Has TE1 Outlook In Week 5

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta leads all tight ends in receiving yards (242) this season, so he's a must-start fantasy option against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. Although Carolina has surrendered the eighth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends through four weeks, the rookie from Iowa has proven he has upside in all matchups. […]

Jonathan Taylor Physically Ready To Play

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) said he is physically ready to play after missing the first four games of the season while on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Dak Prescott Set To Manage Another Game In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been good enough on the field to lead the Cowboys to a 3-1 record, but he hasn't been much of a fantasy option so far. Prescott is the overall QB24 and hasn't been better than QB17 in any game this season. He's mostly game managing while the Dallas defense […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Has Low Floor Against Panthers

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs saw workhorse usage against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, but that was in the absence of David Montgomery (thigh). Montgomery returned in Week 4 and immediately took over the backfield, rushing 32 times for 121 yards and three touchdowns. Gibbs handled just 12 touches for 51 yards. The […]

David Montgomery A Must-Start In Week 5

Jared Goff A Fringe QB1 Against Panthers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 1,029 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions through four weeks of game action. The 28-year-old is leading one of the best offenses in the NFL, but since he rarely adds rushing stats to his fantasy production, his floor is never truly safe. That said, he's set to […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Missing Another Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday due to an abdominal injury. St. Brown continues to be limited to work on the side with trainers, so his status for the Week 5 game against the Carolina Panthers this weekend remains up in the air. […]

Darnell Mooney Has Opportunity In Week 5

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught all four of his targets for 51 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos with Chase Claypool being a healthy scratch.

DJ Moore Looking To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had a 100-yard game in Week 2 but failed to find the end zone in each of his first two games with the team. However, in the last two games, he's caught 11 of his 15 targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns. Moore had his best game of […]

Keaontay Ingram Misses Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram (neck) was unable to practice on Wednesday.

On the Denver Broncos injury report on Wednesday, running back Javonte Williams (quadriceps) was listed as not practicing due to a quadriceps injury.
