Wendell Smallwood In Line For PPR Work

Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood should see a season high in touches in Week 7 with Chris Thompson (toe) out. The downside is that a season high in touches could be defined by as few as seven touches or so, and the team he'll be taking them against is a 49ers Defense that has yet […]

Malcolm Brown Doubtful To Face Falcons

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is doubtful for Week 7 against the Falcons. Todd Gurley (thigh) is expected to return from a one-game absence anyway, so Brown's fantasy appeal would've taken a hit anyway. With Brown unlikely to play, though, look for rookie Darrell Henderson to see his biggest workload of the […]

Christian Kirk A Game-Time Call Against Giants

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 7 against the Giants. Kirk is cutting more often in practice but is not all the way back. He sounds on the wrong side of questionable in what is a great matchup for Arizona's receivers. If Kirk sits, it'll be his […]

Todd Gurley, Jalen Ramsey Expected To Play In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expects running back Todd Gurley (thigh) and cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) to play in Week 7 against the Falcons. Gurley missed last week's game but should be back on the field in an excellent matchup with the free-falling Falcons Defense. Gurley will be more of a low-end RB2 […]

David Johnson To Be Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back David Johnson (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 7 against the Giants. If the Cardinals had to play on Friday, Johnson would've been inactive. We thought there wouldn't be drama around Johnson's status this week with him getting in more practice work, but […]

James Paxton Hopes To Rebound In Game 5

New York Yankees starter James Paxton will take the mound in Game 5 in hopes of keeping the Yankees alive for one more game in the ALCS. Paxton lasted only 2 1/3 innings on October 13 against the Astros, getting pulled after allowing one run, walking two and surrendering four hits. Much has been made […]

Aaron Judge Slugging Only .412 In ALCS

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge will hit second in a struggling lineup as the Yankees will try and stave off elimination against the Astros in Game 5. Judge homered in Game 2 but has failed to make a consistent impact, slugging only .412 in the series. Judge disappointed, at times, against right-handed pitching in […]

Vernon Davis Won't Play Against Old Team

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for Week 7 against the 49ers. Davis is recovering from his head injury but just couldn't get cleared in time. With Jordan Reed (concussion) on Injured Reserve, Jeremy Sprinkle will continue to start for the 'Skins. He's […]

Gleyber Torres Moved To Three-Spot For Game 5

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres will start and hit third in Game 5 of the ALCS against the Astros. Torres has been the only consistent offensive threat for the Yankees over the last week and continues to get elevated in the lineup. The 22-year-old has been fantastic throughout the entire postseason, slashing .345/.406/.793 with […]

Tyrell Williams Officially Ruled Out

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Packers. Williams is dealing with plantar fasciitis and should be considered week-to-week at this point. In his absence, it'll be Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones, Keelan Doss and Trevor Davis battling for targets in a tough matchup on the […]

Giancarlo Stanton Gets The Game 5 Start

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton will start and hit cleanup in the Yankees crucial Game 5 matchup against the Astros. Stanton has not played since October 12 with a quadriceps injury but it is do-or-die for the Yankees season. Stanton went 2-for-4 with a home run in Game 1 of the series and […]

Tyler Kroft Set To Make Season Debut

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) practiced in full all week and was left off the final injury report for Week 7 against the Dolphins. Kroft is set to make his season debut this Sunday. The matchup is a great one against the winless Dolphins, but fantasy owners can't expect much of Kroft right […]

DJ LeMahieu Continues To Deliver From Leadoff Spot

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a double and one walk in the Yankees Game 4 loss to the Astros in the ALCS. The Yankees offense has been shut down over the past few games, but LeMahieu continues to rake. The veteran is 7-for-17 (.412) in the ALCS with three walks and […]

Edwin Encarnacion Not In Game 5 Lineup

New York Yankees designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion will ride the bench in Game 5 of the ALCS. The veteran is having a brutal series, going only 1-for-15 (.067) through the first four games. Encarnacion will take a seat due to brutal career numbers against the Astros expected starter, Justin Verlander. In 41 career at-bats against the veteran […]

Nick Foles Could Practice Next Week

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone thinks that quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) will return to practice next week. Foles broke his collarbone in the season opener and has given way to rookie Gardner Minshew. It's good news that Foles is progressing, but even if he returns to practice next week, he'll likely need at least […]

George Springer 0-For-7 Against Lefties In Playoffs

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer popped a huge three-run home run to take down the Yankees in Game 4 of the ALCS. Springer and Co. are now one win away from winning the pennant and will face left-handed starter James Paxton in Game 5. It has been a very quiet postseason for the leadoff man […]

Chris Thompson Ruled Out For Sunday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the 49ers. Thompson is dealing with turf toe, so he could also wind up missing Week 8 and potentially beyond. It means that Adrian Peterson will handle the early downs, with Wendell Smallwood chipping in on passing downs. However, […]

Carlos Correa Slugging .588 In ALCS

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa hit a huge three-run home run to lead the Astros past the Yankees in Game 4 of the ALCS. Houston is now one win away from getting back to the World Series for the second time in three seasons, and Correa has come up with some huge hits. Correa is […]

Saints Defense A Good Option In Week 7

The New Orleans Saints Defense gets a good matchup in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. New Orleans ranks 11th in the NFL in points allowed and seventh in sacks. They'll take on a Bears offense that ranks 26th in scoring and will likely get injured quarterback Mitch Trubisky back on the field. Trubisky struggled […]

Taylor Gabriel Not On Final Injury Report

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 7 against the Saints. The last time Gabriel played, he caught three first-half touchdowns before suffering a head injury. He'll be back in the fold this weekend but shouldn't be in many team's […]

Mitch Trubisky Questionable To Face Saints

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full all week but is listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Saints. Trubisky should return after coming out of the bye week, but he's a mediocre QB2 option in an offense that hasn't done much through the air all season long. On top of it, […]

Can Yordan Alvarez Snap Slump?

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is only 1-for-15 (.067) in the ALCS as the Astros will try and win the pennant in Game 5 against the Yankees. The rookie phenom has torn through the league all season and hit .375 in the ALDS but now is slugging only .294 through 34 postseason at-bats. The […]

Alex Bregman Crushes Left-Handed Pitching

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will have a favorable matchup in Game 5 against the Yankees left-handed starter James Paxton. Bregman went 1-for-4 in Game 4 with a double and two runs scored and now the Astros are one game away from the World Series. Bregman has absolutely destroyed left-handed pitching this season, slashing […]

Jose Altuve Has Excellent Game 5 Matchup

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will be a player to watch in Game 5 of the ALCS against the Yankees. Altuve has been, by far, the Astros best offensive player in the playoffs and now will have a juicy matchup against Yankee starter James Paxton. Altuve has crushed left-handed pitching all season, slashing .331/.380/.677 […]

Justin Verlander Has Eyes On The AL Pennant

Houston Astros starter Justin Verlander will take the mound in Game 5 of the ALCS with the intention of sending the Astros to the World Series. This will be the fourth time Verlander has faced the Yankees in the playoffs and the veteran has a 1.19 ERA against them with 28 strikeouts. Verlander pitched 6 […]

Joe Flacco To Remain The Starter

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said he's considering major changes on offense after the blowout loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night, but moving away from quarterback Joe Flacco is not one of them. The main reason is that current backup Brandon Allen wouldn't be a realistic solution. However, rookie Drew Lock is nearing […]

Wil Lutz May Have Quiet Day Against Bears

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz could be in for a tough game against the Chicago Bears in Week 7. Lutz has been excellent, ranking eighth in the league among kickers with 54 fantasy points this season. Unfortunately, the Bears Defense ranks third in the NFL in fantasy points against kickers. In what could end […]

Patrick Mahomes Could Miss Three Weeks

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) suffered a right patellar dislocation in the second quarter during a QB sneak on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos, according to a source. He is undergoing an MRI exam on Friday to determine if there is any ligament damage, but the best-case timeline for Mahomes "would be […]

Marqise Lee, Geoff Swaim Ruled Out

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (ankle) and tight end Geoff Swaim (ankle, concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bengals. Neither Lee nor Swaim have moved the fantasy needle this year for the Jaguars offense. If Dede Westbrook can't give it a go, it'll be either C.J. Board or Keelan […]

Davante Adams Ruled Out For Week 7

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has ruled out wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) for Week 7 against the Raiders. It'll be Adams' third straight missed game while dealing with turf toe, and he'll be questionable for Week 8, at best. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers' fantasy luster hasn't been as strong without Adams in the […]
