Adam Thielen Will Play Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (illness) returned to practice on Friday after being sent home sick on Thursday. He will play in Week 6 against the Eagles and has an excellent matchup against their banged-up secondary. Thielen had his best game in Week 5, going for over 100 yards and two touchdowns. While he […]

Tyreek Hill Has Favorable Matchup in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Houston Texans. He missed the last four games after suffering an injury to his collarbone. The Chiefs may decide to ease Hill back into action, assuming he's cleared to play this week. However, he's heading into an excellent […]

LeSean McCoy is Low-End Flex Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was held without a carry in the 19-13 loss to the Colts in Week 5. He caught two passes for 23 yards through the air, but it was a disappointing game for McCoy. Lead back Damien Williams is back in the mix, so McCoy could see his value […]

Michael Thomas a Must-Start Against Jacksonville in Week 6

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will look to continue his success against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6. Thomas currently ranks third in the NFL in targets (55), first in catches (45) and first in receiving yards (543). At this point, he'd be a strong fantasy option with Uncle Rico throwing him footballs. […]

Andy Dalton Down To His Third-String Left Tackle

Cincinnati Bengals left tackles Cordy Glenn (concussion) and Andre Smith (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 6 against the Ravens. Glenn has yet to play this season. Cincy's offensive line is a mess, which obviously has been bad news for quarterback Andy Dalton in 2019. He'll likely be pressured often, but Dalton actually […]

Damien Williams Hopes for More Action in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams returned last week after a two-week absence but failed to do much on the ground. Williams rushed nine times for 23 yards and didn't find the end zone in the Week 5 loss to the Colts. Williams appears healthy now but is battling veteran back LeSean McCoy for […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Shine in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has put together average fantasy performances over the last two weeks. He has thrown for over 300 yards in both of the last two games, but has only one touchdown to show from those contests. He should rebound nicely against the Houston Texans Defense in Week 6. The same […]

Max Scherzer To Start Game 2 Of NLCS

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer will start Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals on Saturday. He'll be opposed by veteran Adam Wainwright in this one. The 35-year-old Scherzer struggled in the wild-card win over the Brewers (three runs in five innings), but he predictably bounced back in the NLDS […]

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 […]
