Melvin Gordon Expected To See More Work Against Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is expected to see his snap count rise in Week 6 against the Steelers in his second game of the year after his lengthy contract holdout. Gordon played just 32 offensive snaps in Week 5 against the Broncos. "I mean, I think last week Austin Ekeler's rep count […]

Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog Tally Two Points Each

Colorado Avalanche forwards Nathan Mackinnon and Gabriel Landeskog tallied two points each in a comeback victory over the Boston Bruins. After falling behind 2-0 in the first period, the Avalanche scored four unanswered goals to take the victory. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Andre Burakovsky rounded out the scoring. Phillip Grubauer was solid in the victory, stopping […]

Christian Kirk A Game-Time Call

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons. Kirk was solid in point-per-reception formats before rolling his ankle two weeks ago, but he didn't produce enough to sweat out his Sunday status. Wide receiver Keesean Johnson had a great matchup and seven targets last […]

David Johnson To Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) said he felt good in his return to practice on Friday, but he will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Falcons. The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo is reporting that Johnson is still likely to play on Sunday, but even if he does, he could be […]

Mason Rudolph Ruled Out For Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 6 on Sunday night against the Chargers. Rudolph returned to practice this week somehow, but it was always a long shot he'd play after taking a very scary hit in Week 5's loss to the Ravens. There's a chance that Rudolph makes it […]

Corey Clement Placed On Injured Reserve Friday

The Philadelphia Eagles placed running back Corey Clement (shoulder) on the Injured Reserve on Friday and promoted running back Boston Scott from the practice squad in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old will go to the IR for the second straight year. Scott and receiver Nelson Agholor are the most likely candidates to take over as […]

Darrell Henderson Could See Extended Look

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson could see his most extensive action of the season with running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) doubtful to play in Week 6. Running back Malcolm Brown should be first in line for touches, but the Rams like to use multiple backs. Henderson has the size of a change-of-pace back, […]

Malcolm Brown Figures To See More Work

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown is expected to see a larger workload in Week 6 with running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) doubtful to play. Brown has done very little since his banner Week 1 with two scores. He'll have a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, which have been the best team […]

Aqib Talib Out For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the 49ers, according to head coach Sean McVay. Already a weak streaming option against the Niners offense this Sunday, the Rams Defense and secondary takes a big hit without their veteran cornerback on the field. It's also excellent news for […]

Todd Gurley Doubtful For Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. There is still a chance he suits up as a game-time decision, but it looks pretty bleak for him. In his expected stead, running back Malcolm Brown figures to see the bulk of the action. […]

Hunter Henry Questionable To Play Sunday Night

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 6 against the Steelers on Sunday night. Henry is nearing a return, but he'll be limited against Pittsburgh if he's active, making him a hard-to-trust TE2. Making Henry even harder to trust from a fantasy perspective is the fact […]

DeSean Jackson, Corey Clement Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) and running back Corey Clement (shoulder) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Vikings. D-Jax will miss his fourth straight game and isn't a lock to return in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Philly's offense just hasn't been the same without […]

O.J. Howard Needs A Little Boost

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has had quite the week catching balls, unfortunately it has nothing to do with footballs. Howard was spotted at the Rays game one-handing a foul ball during the ALDS playoffs and the video went viral. When asked if this catch could get him out of his “current slump" […]

Ted Ginn Can't Be Trusted Against Jaguars

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6. Ginn has averaged two catches on four targets for 23 receiving yards with Teddy Bridgewater as the starting quarterback. For perspective, Ginn had his best game last week and was only targeted twice, hauling in one catch for a 33-yard […]

Vernon Davis, Jordan Reed Out Again

Washington Redskins tight ends Vernon Davis (concussion) and Jordan Reed (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 6 against the Dolphins. Davis was limited all week but couldn't get final clearance. Reed missed practice all week and is no closer to returning. He's been out all season. Jeremy Sprinkle should once again be the […]

Preston Williams Could Surge in Value

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams is on a team that seems to be actively trying to lose, but he could still be in for a big week with the winless Washington Redskins coming into town. While Williams has only scored one touchdown in 2019 and has yet to reach 70 yards in any game, […]

Zack Greinke Gets Nod For ALCS Game 1

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that starting pitcher Zack Greinke will pitch in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday against the Yankees, followed by Justin Verlander in Game 2 and Gerrit Cole in Game 3. Cole would also be available to pitch a potential Game 7. The right-hander struck out […]

Mark Andrews Listed As Questionable

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) practiced in full on Friday but was listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Bengals. Andrews should be expected to suit up and could be targeted even more if wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) doesn't play -- he's listed as a game-time decision. Andrews and Brown are […]

Mike Evans Hopes To Bounce Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was a complete non-factor Week 5 against the Saints Defense. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore shadowed Evans the entire game and relinquished absolutely nothing. Evans ended with three targets for zero catches, zero yards and zero touchdowns. The last time that happened was 2015. He clearly looked frustrated during the […]

Delanie Walker Will Play In Week 6

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (knee) practiced in full the last two days and was taken off the final injury report for Week 6 against the Broncos. Walker has been playing through his injury recently and has just two catches for 14 yards to show for it the last two weeks, albeit against tough […]

Chiefs Defense To Be Without Chris Jones

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) will be out for Week 6 against the Texans. Jones' absence is good news for Texans running back Carlos Hyde, but Houston must not fall behind too big for Hyde to remain relevant in the running game. KC's defense/special teams just […]

Sammy Watkins Doubtful For Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will be listed as doubtful for Week 6 against the Texans. Watkins was active last Sunday night but injured his hamstring early and never returned. Keep him locked to your bench this weekend. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is nearing a return against Houston and would need to be […]

Jared Cook Gets Tough Matchup Against Jaguars

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6. He comes into the game having been targeted six times in consecutive games but hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards in a game yet this season. The Jaguars have held opposing tight ends to just 48 receiving yards per […]

Chris Godwin Is Breaking Records

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hip) preyed on the Saints Defense in Week 5 in the Superdome. While cornerback Marshon Lattimore was extinguishing Mike Evans, Godwin was able to work underneath all afternoon, accumulating seven receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns. He showed impressive quickness and strength throughout the day. Godwin is the […]

Jamie Benn Pockets First of Season in Loss to Calgary

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn rifled home a feed from Roope Hintz at the start of the third period, giving Benn his first tally of the season. The goal came on the power play and gave Dallas a two-goal lead that would disappear a short six minutes later. After being held pointless in each of […]

Albert Wilson, Kalen Ballage Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) and running back Kalen Ballage (foot) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 6 against the Redskins. Both players should be able to suit up in this excellent matchup. Wilson hasn't played since Week 1, but he could be a sneaky DFS […]

Solid Outing From David Rittich Lifts Flames Over Stars

Calgary Flames goaltender David Rittich stopped 34 of 36 shots through regulation and overtime Thursday night, then allowed only a single goal in the shootout to secure the win. Both goalies held the opposing offenses in check, but Rittich stepped up against the Stars power-play attack, stopping seven of the eight shots that he faced […]

Case Keenum To Start Against Dolphins

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan named quarterback Case Keenum the starter for Week 6 against the Dolphins, with rookie Dwayne Haskins set to back him up. Colt McCoy will likely be inactive after starting in Week 5. Keenum racked up some big games earlier this year, but he's a turnover machine and will […]

Sammy Watkins is Tough to Trust Right Now

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Houston Texans. Watkins didn't play last week and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. It sounds like Watkins could be sidelined another game. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) could be back for the game this week, […]

Josh Oliver Ruled Out For Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Josh Oliver (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Saints. James O'Shaughnessy is on Injured Reserve, so this will open up considerable playing time for Geoff Swaim on Sunday at home against New Orleans. If you're desperate for a tight end because of byes and injuries, Swaim could […]
