FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 6

We have a very uneven matchup tonight between the healthy New England Patriots and the already terrible, also beat-up New York Football Giants. We're looking at just a 17-point spread, which will be interesting to watch how Danny Dimes keeps it that close. We'll be diving into the showdown slate, where there's plenty of money […]

Jameis Winston A QB2 In Tough Week 6 Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put up a lackluster performance in Week 5, and with the Carolina Panthers on deck for Week 6, another middling effort could be on the horizon. The Panthers have allowed just 985 yards through the air this season and have sacked opposing quarterbacks 20 times. Winston will clearly have […]

Joey Bart Won't Need Surgery

Updating a previous report, San Francisco Giants catching prospect Joey Bart (thumb) was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of his thumb, which will not require surgery. He's expected to be recovered in four to six weeks, so he'll be ready in plenty of time for spring training in 2020. Bart was injured while playing in […]

Marvin Jones A Flex Option For Week 6

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones has a tough matchup on his hands in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers secondary had allowed just one 100-yard receiver through the first four weeks of the season before Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup eclipsed the century mark in Week 5, though a good chunk […]

Kenny Golladay Facing Underrated Secondary In Week 6

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has a tough matchup in Week 6 when the Lions travel to Green Bay to play the Packers. Golladay posted a solid performance in Week 4 prior to the Lions bye, catching five balls for 67 yards and two scores, but will have his hands full against a tough […]

Kerryon Johnson Has Chance To Shine In Week 6

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson will look to take advantage of a weak Green Bay Packers run defense on Monday night in Week 6. The Packers overall defense has been very solid, but as evidenced by the 5.2 YPC they've allowed through the first five weeks of the season, their run defense has had […]

Kurt Suzuki Injured In Game 5

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (wrist, face) was hit in the wrist and face by a fastball from Dodgers starter Walker Buehler in Game 5 of the National League Division Series and was forced to leave the game. Suzuki's wrist took the brunt of the impact, but the ball ricocheted and hit him in the […]

Matthew Stafford A QB2 In Tough Week 6 Matchup

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has a tough Week 6 matchup at Lambeau Field on Monday night coming off the Lions bye. The Packers highly underrated defense has racked up 15 sacks and seven interceptions through the first five weeks of the season, with opposing quarterbacks eclipsing the 230-yard mark just once. To say Stafford […]

Brian McCann Retiring

Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann announced that he is retiring after the team's 13-1 loss to the Cardinals in Game 5 of the National League Division Series. The 35-year-old seven-time All-Star will finish his career with an overall slash line of .262/.337/.452 with 1,590 hits, 282 home runs and 1,018 RBI. He also earned a […]

Jack Flaherty Gets Win, Goes Six Strong Innings in Game 5

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was able to pitch with a 10-plus run lead for the entire game, so there wasn’t much to stress about in Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Braves. Still, he went six innings, struck out eight and allowed just one run on a solo […]

Max Muncy Homers in First Inning Off Stephen Strasburg

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy is on fire this series, clocking his third home run in five games in the first inning in Game 5 of the National League Division Series. Joc Pederson hit a ground-rule double through the wall a batter before, and Muncy pulled a high fastball over the right field fence […]

Julio Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. After posting two 100-yard games and scoring four times in the first three weeks, Jones has gone quiet with seven catches for 92 scoreless yards the last two games. Week 6 against the Cardinals is a potential breakout game for the entire Falcons […]

Cardinals Slug Their Way to NLCS

The Cardinals, who were healthy underdogs going into this series, have taken three of five over the Braves and move on to face either the Dodgers or Nationals in the NLCS. They exploded with 10 first-inning runs in game five and never looked back. Jack Flaherty pitched a solid game and they ended up taking […]

C.J. Mosley Not Expected To Play In Week 6

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) missed practice on Wednesday and is not expected to play in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Mosley, the team's big defensive free-agent signing, hasn't played since the season opener. His absence as the quarterback of the defensive has had a big negative effect on the Jets Defense, and […]

Brandin Cooks Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) was limited in practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion last Thursday. Cooks has had extra time to heal for Week 6 against the 49ers, but he must pass through the league's concussion protocol in order to have a chance. Until he gets the clearance, Cooks is […]

Todd Gurley Day-To-Day With Quad Bruise

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) is day-to-day with a left quadriceps contusion. Gurley did not practice on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like a very serious injury, but it's worth watching for a player that has had his workload scaled back due to knee issues this year. […]

Drew Brees' Rehab Going Well

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) said on Wednesday that his rehab for a surgically repaired right thumb is going as planned and he hopes to be throwing a football "sooner rather than later." Brees is at least several weeks away from a return, but his owners will be happy to know he's on […]

Fantasy Confusion in Kansas City

The postgame scene in front of Travis Kelce’s locker spoke volumes about Kansas City’s Sunday Night Football loss to the Colts from both reality and fantasy perspectives. According to ESPN’s Adam Teicher, Travis Kelce was sitting alone with his head in his hands after most of the locker room had cleared out. Indianapolis had just […]

Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles Out on Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (rest) and forward Joe Ingles (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gobert has not played in the preseason yet, but he doesn't really need to warm up. He played for France at the FIBA tournament and the Jazz aren't going to push him. […]

Kevin Knox Sits Out of Practice on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (calf) was not able to participate in Wednesday's practice. Knox suffered a strained right calf during Monday's preseason game. Head coach David Fizdale downplayed the injury, so hopefully it's nothing serious. Knox should hold some pretty solid fantasy value in most formats, assuming he gets regular minutes in the […]

Tomas Satoransky Jumps Into Starting Five

Chicago Bulls point guard Tomas Satoransky will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kris Dunn was given the start during the first preseason game, but the Bulls are likely going to switch it up in camp. Dunn appears to have the edge over Satoransky, but both players […]

Alec Burks Continues to Be Sidelined

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered right ankle sprain on Friday and hasn't suited up since then. The Warriors have little depth at the wing position, so Burks does have a path to minutes. However, health is always a concern […]

Kevin Huerter Unlikely to Play in Preseason

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's preseason contest versus the Orlando Magic. Huerter has been dealing with a knee issue and is expected to miss most of the preseason. Deandre Bembry gets a chance for more minutes without Huerter on the court. Fantasy owners can go ahead and grab […]

Kenny Stills Limited In Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Stills was limited in practice all week and was inactive in the Week 5 win against the Falcons. In his absence, Keke Coutee filled the slot and had three catches for 72 yards in his best game of […]

Malik Monk Gets Into The Action on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (toe) will play during Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Miami Heat. Monk missed the summer league, but is ready to show that he improved since last season. This very well could be his last chance to prove he can be an impact player in the NBA. The Hornets are desperate […]

Kawhi Leonard Might Not Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) might not suit up for Thursday's preseason contest, according to head coach Doc Rivers. It appears unlikely that Leonard is going to suit up at all this preseason. The Clippers want to be cautious with Leonard going into a huge season for the organization. There is going to […]

John Collins Should Suit Up on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Orlando Magic. Collins is dealing with left knee tendon pain, but the team doesn't believe it's a serious issue. The fact he's probable is a great sign that the issue is nothing to be concerned about. Collins is going […]

Kevon Looney is Still Bothered by Hamstring Issue

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest. Looney injured his hamstring last week and hasn't played since then. The Warriors don't believe it's a serious issue, but want to remain cautious here. Omari Spellman is expected to draw the start, while Marquese Chriss will get a chance […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Is Out for Preseason Contest

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Carter has suffered an ankle sprain and now a tailbone injury during camp this season. However, the Bulls expect Carter to be fine for the regular season opener. He'll have solid upside in fantasy leagues […]
