Rex Burkhead Hopes To Get Back In The Mix

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) will have a welcoming matchup against the Redskins in Week 5. Burkhead has posted 229 total yards from scrimmage through his first three games this season but was barely used last week against the Bills. The team could lean heavily on the run game if they get out […]

NCAA Football Prospects to Watch: Week 6

After last week’s exciting and eventful weekend of college football, this week, with its minimal top 25 showdowns, might seem like a letdown. However, there are still enough intriguing prospects to watch for both fantasy football fans and fans of dismal NFL franchises who are already looking towards the draft. This series will cover players […]

Sony Michel Has Prime Chance To Shine

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel should see plenty of touches in Week 5 against the Redskins. Michel has alternated a solid effort with a terrible one thus far this season but could post a quality line if the Patriots get up big early. Michel is the most talented back on the Patriots but […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 5 (10/6/19)

Last week wasn't what the past few weeks have been but even the beats were close. We've had a solid beginning to the season and as we continue to learn more about teams, I'm hopeful we can continue to make this a profitable season.  Week 4 Picks: 2-2 (50%) 2019-20 Picks: 10-5 (67%) I'm here […]

Tom Brady Could Play Conservative Against Redskins

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a fantastic matchup against the hapless Redskins in Week 5. Brady has thrown seven touchdowns this season with only one interception but could play it safe if this game gets out of hand early. The Redskins Defense has already allowed three touchdown passes to three different quarterbacks […]

Bears Defense Heads To London Hungry

The Chicago Bears Defense has lived up to their lofty preseason expectations through the first four games. The unit already has 17 sacks and seven forced fumbles thanks to All-Pro Khalil Mack leading the charge. They will take on a Raiders offense that has been stingy in terms of dishing out fantasy points to the […]

T.Y. Hilton, Marlon Mack Questionable Against Chiefs

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) and running back Marlon Mack (ankle) are listed as questionable for Sunday night against the Chiefs in Week 5. Hilton was limited the last two days of practice, while Mack returned to a full practice after two missed practices earlier in the week. Both Hilton and Mack should […]

Timo Meier Suiting Up On Friday Versus Vegas

San Jose Sharks left wing Timo Meier has been confirmed to play ahead of his team's Friday contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 22-year-old departed Wednesday's season opener versus Vegas in the third period and did not return, having appeared to get pegged with a shot in his midsection. Meier getting the green light […]

Trey Burton Has Great Matchup Against Oakland

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton is off to a slow start this season but has a dynamite matchup in Week 5 against the Raiders. Burton missed most of training camp recovering from sports hernia surgery and a groin injury. This has stunted his production out of the gate as Burton had posted only eight […]

Anthony Miller Won't Be Fantasy Viable

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will not be on the fantasy radar in Week 5 despite a favorable matchup against the Raiders. It has been a disastrous start to the second-year receiver's season as Miller has only four catches for 28 yards through the first four games. He will go up against a Raiders […]

Demaryius Thomas, Quinnen Williams Questionable

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) and rookie defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (ankle) are listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Eagles. Head coach Adam Gase said that Thomas has looked good in practice. "It's looking very positive for us," Gase said. It looks like Thomas will be active, but he's not […]

Allen Robinson Has Solid Matchup Against Raiders

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson will go up against a Raiders Defense in London that has allowed the seventh most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Robinson has been solid as a rock in the Bears offense this season, averaging six catches and 70 yards a game through the first four games. The […]

Ilya Samsonov To Make NHL Debut On Friday

Washington Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov is set to make his first career NHL start on Friday versus the New York Islanders. The 22-year-old is considered one of the top goaltending prospects in the game today and could very well take over the reigns in Washington should Braden Holtby depart via free agency this summer. Samsonov […]

Mike Williams, Travis Benjamin, Virgil Green Questionable

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Mike Williams (back) and Travis Benjamin (hip) and tight end Virgil Green (groin) all practiced in full on Friday but are questionable for Week 5 against the Broncos. We'd expect all three players to be active after sitting out in Week 4. It's good news for quarterback Philip Rivers, who […]

Tarik Cohen Tough To Trust In Week 5

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen posted his first touchdown of the season in Week 4 and now will face a Raiders team that has been fairly solid bottling up running backs. The Raiders are allowing the 14th fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs and 21 total receptions to the position all season. Cohen […]

Michael Gallup Good To Go For Sunday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee), who is questionable for Week 5 against the Packers, said he's good to go for Sunday. Gallup will be returning from a two-week absence and could have his snaps limited. It's also a tough matchup against a much improved Packers secondary, so Gallup is shaping up as a […]

When Will David Montgomery Bust Out?

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery is in line for plenty of work as the team takes on the Raiders in London for Week 5. The rookie has been producing about 50-65 rushing yards a game over the past three contests and is averaging only 3.4 yards per carry this season. He still has not […]

Chargers Hesitant To Use Melvin Gordon

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn is hesitant to put too much on running back Melvin Gordon's shoulders in his first game of the season in Week 5 against the Broncos. "I don’t want to put him in there and play him too much, and I really don’t have to. I like what Austin […]

Chase Daniel Should Be Serviceable In Week 5

Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel is in line to start in Week 5 against the Raiders in London. With starter Mitch Trubisky on the shelf with a left shoulder injury, Daniel gets a full week of practice with the starters. The veteran backup played admirably last week against the Vikings, passing for 195 yards with […]

Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Out Against Cowboys

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Cowboys. The good news is that Adams' turf toe injury isn't serious, and he could return in Week 6. His absence means that Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo […]

Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Questionable Against Redskins

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 5 against the Redskins. Wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) was taken off the final injury report. Both Edelman and Burkhead should play in this excellent matchup. Edelman hasn't been great […]

Mitch Trubisky Officially Out For Week 5

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Raiders in London. Trubisky was never expected to play in this game, especially with the Bears on bye in Week 6. There's a good chance that he winds up missing just this one game. Backup […]

Stefon Diggs Expected To Be Active Sunday

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs isn't on the final injury report, and all signs are pointing to him being active in Week 5 against the Giants. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Diggs has "already been punished" for missing practice and meetings earlier this week, but he was non-committal earlier on […]

James Conner Not On Final Injury Report

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) got in a full practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Ravens after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Conner will play on Sunday, but he could continue to lose touches to backfield mate Jaylen Samuels. Still, Conner should […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, Vance McDonald Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) and tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) are listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Ravens. Smith-Schuster did the "bare minimum" at practice on Friday but was listed as a full participant. He should be expected to play against a suddenly shaky Ravens Defense, but he's in danger […]

Trey Quinn Remains Off The Fantasy Radar

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn is averaging six targets per game, which would earn him deep PPR consideration under better circumstances. Unfortunately for Quinn, things are likely to get worse before they get better. His opponent for Week 5 is a Patriots team that has given up just one offensive touchdown all season, and […]

DJ Lemahieu At First Base, Edwin Encarnacion The DH

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is starting at first base and is hitting leadoff in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Friday against Twins starter Jose Berrios. Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup. LeMahieu will take the place of the struggling Luke Voit in […]

Max Kepler, Marwin Gonzalez, Luis Arraez Playing Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (shoulder), utility man Marwin Gonzalez (oblique) and second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) are all in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Friday against Yankees lefty James Paxton. Kepler is in center field and is hitting sixth, Gonzalez is in left field and will […]

Paul Richardson An Unsafe Play For Week 5

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson is not a reliable fantasy option this week whether Terry McLaurin plays or not. Last week, in an extremely favorable matchup against a porous Giants pass defense, the Redskins looked his way five times. He caught three of them for 14 yards. Needless to say, the Patriots present a […]

Parris Campbell, Darius Leonard Out Against Chiefs

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen), linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion) and safety Malik Hooker (knee) will not play in Week 5 against the Chiefs on Sunday night. With T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) expected to return this weekend, Zach Pascal, Deon Cain and Chester Rogers will attempt to pick […]
