Tyler Glasnow To Start Game 5 Of ALDS

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow will start Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Astros on Thursday, according to manager Kevin Cash. Glasnow has electric stuff that is downright unhittable at times, it's just a matter of whether he can throw strikes. In Game 1 of the series he limited […]

Dallas Goedert a Low-Upside Option in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a low-upside TE2 option in a Week 6 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Goedert has been mostly quiet this season, playing a supporting role behind Zach Ertz. Goedert has not been targeted more than three times in a game this season, and won't have any standard league value […]

Zach Ertz Facing a Challenge in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will face a tough Minnesota Vikings Defense in Week 6. Still, he is one of the few matchup-proof tight ends in the league and will remain a top-half TE1. Ertz scored his first touchdown last week but has remained heavily involved in the passing game and could have a […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not a Week 6 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is not a starting fantasy option in Week 6. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) possibly rejoining the team, Arcega-Whiteside will be hard pressed to find much playing time. Even with Jackson out, the rookie was unable to do much with the opportunity, playing firmly behind career special teamer Mack […]

Mack Hollins Not a Strong Choice in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 6. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) nearing a return, Hollins' days in three-wide sets are coming to an end. Even if Jackson doesn't play on Sunday though, Hollins will have very limited fantasy value against a difficult Minnesota Vikings Defense. Hollins only […]

DeSean Jackson Could Return in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) has a chance to return in Week 6. Jackson has missed three games due to injury, but when asked if Jackson would be on the field in Minnesota, coach Doug Pederson said, "We'll see. He's getting close." Jackson will likely draw a questionable tag and could be a […]

Aldrick Rosas Not A Recommended Play

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas is not a recommended option on Thursday night against the Patriots. The former Pro Bowler hasn't made more than one field goal in any game this season and will be relying on Daniel Jones, Golden Tate, and Elijhaa Penny to get him into field goal range against one of […]

Giants Defense In Bad Spot on Thursday

It goes without saying, but the New York Giants Defense is not a usable fantasy option on Thursday against the Patriots. The Patriots are tied for the league-lead in touchdowns. The Giants defense has allowed the ninth-most touchdowns. The Giants' three best offensive players are unlikely to play, which means the offense won't be able […]

Josh Rosen The Starter The Rest Of The Way

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that the team's quarterback situation is "settled" and that Josh Rosen will be the guy the rest of the season. Rosen hasn't been great in his two starts the last two games, but he's been slightly better than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Against the similarly terrible Redskins in Week 6, […]

Who's Receiving, Who's Giving? - NFL NextGen Stats

We've talked about quarterback changes plenty this season, because the start of the year has been full of injuries and replacements taking the reigns as signal-caller. However, with five weeks of play in the books and things starting to settle a bit, we can flip the page and get back to studying some of the […]

Golden Tate In A Sneaky Value Spot

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate may find himself in a sneaky value spot on Thursday night in just his second game with the team. With Sterling Shepard out with his second concussion of the season and tight end Evan Engram battling a knee issue, Tate may become the central focus of the passing […]

DeSean Jackson Rehabbing Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will not practice on Wednesday and will rehab off to the side. As of now it's looking like D-Jax will miss another game. If he does, it'll be Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins again in three-wide sets in a tough […]

Elijhaa Penny May Be Giants Feature Back on Thursday

The New York Giants may turn to running back Elijhaa Penny on Thursday against the Patriots with Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) both out. Although Penny is listed as a fullback and Jonathan Hilliman is listed atop the Giants depth chart at running back, the Giants were apparently pleased with Penny's work last […]

Daniel Jones In Rough Spot Versus Patriots

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will be in a rough spot when the Giants travel to take on the Patriots on Thursday night. Likely without his top two receiving options, tight end Evan Engram (knee) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion), Jones will be throwing to a depleted receiving corps and possibly handing off to his […]

Nelson Agholor Cannot Be Trusted in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor cannot be relied on as a fantasy option in Week 6. Agholor has just one catch total in his past two games despite catching 16 in the two before that. He is way too volatile with drops, fumbles, and overall inconsistency to trust in a fantasy lineup. Combine all […]

Alshon Jeffery Could Have a Tough Time in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has a difficult matchup on tap in Week 6. Hitting the road to face a tough Minnesota Vikings Defense, Jeffery is on the WR2/3 border this week. Usually a solid WR2 with some upside, the tough matchup knocks him down a bit. If DeSean Jackson (abdomen) were to return, […]

Corey Perry Resumes Skating

Dallas Stars right-winger Corey Perry has begun skating on his own as he gears up to make his debut with his new team sometime this month. Having suffered a small fracture in his foot shortly before the start of training camp, Perry's skating session on Tuesday marked his second time on the ice (his first […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 6

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Darren Sproles Not a Week 6 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles has become an afterthought in the Eagles backfield and is not a starting option in any format in Week 6. After getting 12 touches in Week 1, Sproles has totaled just eight touches since then. He's almost exclusively on special teams at this point and would only develop fantasy […]

Miles Sanders Falling Into the RB3 Range in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders has taken a back seat to Jordan Howard in the Eagles backfield. Combine that with a trip to Minnesota to face a strong Vikings Defense, and Sanders is a risky RB3 play, at best, in Week 6. Howard is taking all of the scoring opportunities and Sanders has […]

Jordan Howard Faces a Challenge in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard has taken over the Eagles backfield but will face a tough challenge in Week 6. With the Eagles on the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings, Howard will be a solid RB2, but with limited upside thanks to the Vikings Defense. Howard has five touchdowns in his last […]

Carson Wentz Faces a Tough Minnesota Team in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will face off against a tough Minnesota Vikings Defense in Week 6. Wentz underwhelmed in Week 5 mostly because the running game was working so well that he wasn't needed. Still, his fantasy owners ended up with just one touchdown and 189 yards on just 17 completed passes. Wentz will […]

Baker Mayfield Dealing With Minor Injuries

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (leg, shoulder) had his leg and shoulder wrapped following the Monday night loss to the 49ers, but head coach Freddie Kitchens doesn't expect the injuries to linger. “I am sure he was bumped and bruised,” Kitchens said of Mayfield, who was sacked four times. “He got hit more than I […]

Browns Sticking With Antonio Callaway As No. 3 Receiver

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said he'll "definitely" stick with wide receiver Antonio Callaway as the team's third wideout despite his terrible season debut on Monday night in the blowout loss to the 49ers. The fourth-rounder was suspended the first four weeks for violating the league's drug policy. He was penalized for a false […]

James Washington Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (shoulder) is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 5 against the Ravens, according to a source. Washington had just nine catches on 21 targets for 140 scoreless yards through five weeks, so he wasn't a viable commodity in most standard-sized fantasy leagues. […]

Patrick Marleau Returns To San Jose

San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau agreed to an undisclosed contract to return for a second stint with the organization on Tuesday. The 40-year-old, now set to lace up his skates for his 22nd NHL season, is coming off a tumultuous summer in which he was traded from Toronto to Carolina and subsequently bought out […]
