Tyron Smith A Game-Time Decision Sunday

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Jets, but he's expected to work off to the side during Friday's practice. He has not practiced since suffering his injury on Sept. 29. Right tackle La'el Collins (knee) is holding out hope he can play this weekend, […]

Rashard Higgins Not On Final Injury Report

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) is not on the final injury report for Week 6 against the Seahawks. However, head coach Freddie Kitchens won't commit to Higgins being active this weekend. Higgins hasn't played since Week 1 and is now behind the likes of Antonio Callaway and Damion Ratley on the receiver depth […]

Kenny Stills Is A Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Chiefs, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. Stills was limited in practice all week, but that was the case last week as well and he was still inactive. The matchup against Kansas City calls for a lot of passing, […]

Devante Parker Has Important Audition in Week 6

The subject of trade rumors all season, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker will have his best chance to succeed before the October 29 trade deadline, as he's facing a great matchup against the Washington Redskins in Week 6. Usually a touchdown-dependent boom-or-bust option, Parker scored for the first time in Miami's last game and […]

Marquise Brown To Be Game-Time Decision

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) missed his third straight day of practice on Friday and will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Bengals. Head coach John Harbaugh was surprised that Brown sat out on Friday. The first-round pick has 21 catches for 326 yards and three touchdowns in five […]

T.J. Hockenson Trending Towards Playing

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) has been doing everything in practice this week but must be re-checked by doctors before he's cleared from the concussion protocol. As of now, Hockenson is trending towards playing on Monday night against the Packers. We should know more on his status on Saturday, but all signs […]

Josh Gordon Avoids Serious Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee), who left Thursday night's game early, was spotted in the second half riding a stationary bike on the sideline. He did not return to the game, but it looks like he's not dealing with a major injury. Gordon disappointed his fantasy owners with just one catch for […]

Tyreek Hill Very Close To A Return

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is getting very close to a return in Week 6 against the Texans. There's optimism from the team that he'll play this Sunday, but Hill will undergo bone scans on Friday to make sure he's healed properly before he gets the green light. There's always risk of […]

Jameis Winston Needs To Get Mike Evans The Ball

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston acknowledged that they need to get wide receiver Mike Evans the ball in order to win games. Evans was held without a catch last week against the Saints for just the second time in his six-year NFL career. He has one 100-yard game -- an eight-catch, 180-yard, three-touchdown performance […]

Kenyan Drake Enters the Conversation

Like the rest of his winless team, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has been a fantasy dud in 2019 thus far, totaling just 220 yards and zero touchdowns in four games. The good news is that after getting only six touches in Week 1, Drake's usage has been steadily increasing, with him receiving 11, […]

Davante Adams Unsure When He'll Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is unsure as to when he'll return to action after suffering from a mild case of turf toe. He missed Week 5, hasn't practiced yet this week and seems doubtful to play on Monday night against the Lions. "I can’t really tell you when I’m going to […]

Cardinals Encouraged About David Johnson's Status

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that he talked with running back David Johnson (back) and thinks there's a chance the running back plays in Week 6 against the Falcons. "I'm not 100 percent sure, but I'm certainly encouraged," Keim said. Johnson will likely be questionable on the final injury report and could come […]

Don't Expect Much From Duke Johnson In Week 6

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson continues to play second fiddle to Carlos Hyde this season. With only 32 attempts for 205 yards, Johnson has been just as disappointing as when he was a member of the Cleveland Browns. He likely won't do any damage from a fantasy standpoint against the Chiefs, even as a […]

Christian McCaffrey Not On Final Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) is not listed on the final injury report for Week 6 against the Buccaneers in London. McCaffrey didn't practice on Wednesday, but the team said it'll be a normal occurrence moving forward in order to give the star running back some rest during the week. McCaffrey leads the […]

Carlos Hyde Continues To Lead The Way

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde continues to outproduce Duke Johnson this season. Hyde has compiled 310 yards on 73 attempts but has only managed to find the end zone twice. In Week 6, expect the 29-year-old to continue to split time with Johnson, who has 32 carries this season, which will decrease Hyde's stock […]

Josh Rosen Could Finally Find Success

Recently confirmed by head coach Brian Flores as the starter for the remainder of the season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen has his best chance to shine in Week 6 with the winless Washington Redskins coming to town. While the Dolphins are certainly horrible, Rosen's performances haven't been helped by an early schedule filled with […]

George Kittle Gaining Momentum

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle finally appeased fantasy players last week with his best performance (6/70/1). Off the schneid, Kittle’s unquestioned TE1 status resumes in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. While the Niners have been the league’s run-heaviest offense through four games, Kittle is the clear favorite of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. […]

Jaguars Defense With A Tough Matchup In Week 6

The Jacksonville Jaguars Defense has a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Saints. While New Orleans is still without quarterback Drew Brees (thumb), the team has wide receiver Michael Thomas and running back Alvin Kamara at its disposal. With the Jags Defense struggling on the year by allowing 382 total yards per game, it […]

Dede Westbrook Coming Off Solid Week 5 Outing

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook had seven receptions for 82 yards during the Week 5 matchup with the Panthers. While he hasn't scored the way D.J. Chark has, he has still served as the No. 2 wide receiver for quarterback Gardner Minshew. The 25-year-old has received his fair share of targets on the year […]

Chris Conley Could Serve As A Bye-Week Streamer

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley has played relatively well this season. With 243 yards and a touchdown off of 14 receptions (22 targets), the former Chief could serve as a semi-sufficient replacement in deeper formats for those dealing with injuries or are looking for someone to get them through the largest bye week of […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Might Finally Need To Let Loose

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been the quintessential game manager amidst the team’s early-season undefeated run. With the Niners leading the league in rushing plays (57 percent), Jimmy G has yet to surpass 300 pass yards in any contest. That could change in Week 6 when the Niners play underdogs against the Los […]

Marquise Goodwin, Dante Pettis, Deebo Samuel Are Dart Throws

The San Francisco 49ers receiving corps has been a crapshoot all season and that should continue in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. Wideouts Marquise Goodwin, Dante Pettis and Deebo Samuel have been interchangeable pieces in an offense that has leaned heavily on its elite running game. While Goodwin has held the most stable […]

D.J. Chark Looks To Build On His Impressive Season

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark looks to continue his stellar play against the Saints in Week 6. Catching at least one touchdown in every game this season except one, the sophomore continues to serve as the No. 1 option for quarterback Gardner Minshew II (groin). While his stock may take a hit if Minshew […]

49ers Defense Can't Be Ignored

The San Francisco 49ers Defense enters Week 6 as the second-best defense by DVOA. Even against the vaunted Los Angeles Rams offense, the Niners unit is a start-worthy fantasy option. The defensive line has wreaked havoc all season, bagging 13 sacks and forcing 11 turnovers. Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been shaky in 2019, committing […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 6

This is Christian McCaffrey's fantasy world and we're all just living in it. At this point, it's just that simple, as it doesn't seem to matter who he's playing with or against. Run CMC is running and catching whatever and whenever he wants. If you played against him in Week 5 (*cough-cough*), you probably got […]

Matt Bryant Should See Opportunities In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant has only had six field goal attempts through five weeks and has converted four of them, including a 50-yarder. He's 10-for-10 on extra-points. This week, the Falcons face the Cardinals in a game that should be a shootout, or at least should feature a lot of Falcons scoring opportunities. He's […]

Leonard Fournette Hopes To Stay Hot On Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette has been on a tear over the last few weeks, rushing for 333 yards and a touchdown on 52 attempts. Fournette will look to keep it together in Week 6 against the Saints, a team that has allowed runners to accrue 108.4 yards per game and seven scores on […]

Raheem Mostert Now Third In Line

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert enters Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams as just a deep flex option. With the return of Tevin Coleman in Week 5, Mostert took a clear back seat in the Niners running scheme, gaining most of his 34 yards in garbage time. Mostert continues rotating in during […]

Tevin Coleman's Injury In Rear View Mirror

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman showed no lingering effects of a high ankle sprain in Week 5, dashing for 97 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. He enters Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams as an equal partner in football’s best rushing committee with Matt Breida. Coleman played 34 percent of […]

Continue Avoiding The Falcons Defense At All Costs

The Falcons Defense has been dreadful all year and they're coming off a game in which they allowed 53 points to the Texans. While the Cardinals, the Falcons' Week 6 opponent, certainly don't have as much offensive firepower as the Texans, they play at a face pace and frequently challenge defenses, which likely won't end […]
