Emmanuel Sanders Feeling Better

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (quadriceps) said his quadriceps is feeling better and he'll practice in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Sanders is just playing it safe with his quad injury. He will play in Week 5 against the Chargers on the road. Sanders has shown that last year's Achilles injury […]

Austin Hooper Looks To Keep Rolling In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has been one of the clear offensive highlights for the team this year. He's caught 28 of his 33 targets on the year and led the team in receiving yards with 130 in Week 4. After being a low-end TE1 at best the first three years of his career, […]

Josh Allen Still In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Thursday. Allen has done non-contact work at practice this week, but he's not quite there yet. That could come on Friday, but he's definitely questionable to play in Week 5 against the Titans. Even if he does play, Allen will be more […]

Calvin Ridley A Solid WR2 In Week 5

After a promising start to the season, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has cooled off significantly the past two weeks, totaling just four catches for 38 yards. Ridley is an exceptionally talented receiver, but the Falcons just have a lot of weapons in the passing game. Mohamed Sanu's nine-catch outing in Week 4 is […]

Mark Andrews Back At Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Andrews continues to fight through his foot injury and is being rested during the week, but he continues to play on game day and has caught a touchdown in three out of the first four games. Despite recent […]

Devonta Freeman A Solid RB2 Option In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman has had an exceptionally underwhelming start to the season. Part of it has been poor play on his end, but part of it has also been bad luck. The Falcons have been playing from behind a lot this year, forcing the team to abandon the running game a great […]

DeSean Jackson Not Practicing Again Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is not practicing for the second straight day on Thursday. All signs are pointing toward D-Jax missing his second straight game. Plan to be without him again for Week 5 against the Jets. Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins should work in three-receiver sets, with rookie J.J. […]

Marlon Mack Out Again Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Mack still has a chance at playing in Week 5 against the Chiefs on Sunday night, but he'll need to return to practice on Friday in order to do so. Because of the injury and the fact that the […]

T.Y. Hilton Returns To Practice Field

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) was back on the practice field on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It gives his fantasy owners hope that he can play on Sunday night against the Chiefs after missing Week 4. Still, Hilton will likely be questionable this week and will be a tough call for […]

Julio Jones Primed For Bounce-Back Game In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones played an uncharacteristic supporting role in the team's offense in Week 4. Despite Matt Ryan throwing for 397 passing yards, Jones caught just four passes for 52 yards. It was instead Austin Hooper and Mohamed Sanu who carried the passing game. Expect things to return back to a more […]

Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Not Practicing

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) did not practice again on Thursday. Adams did a little jogging off to the side and Williams went through stretching. Both are currently on the wrong side of questionable right now, and it seems like a stretch to think that Williams […]

Matt Ryan Poised For A Big Game In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is second in the NFL in passing yards through four weeks, trailing only the great Patrick Mahomes. Ryan's thrown for over 300 yards in each game, including a season-high 397 yards against the Titans in Week 4. He has an uncharacteristic six interceptions through four games, which has compromised his […]

Dawson Knox Could Be Start-Worthy In Week 5 If Josh Allen Plays

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has had two consecutive strong performances, catching a total of six passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. He's averaging 18 yards per reception on the year and looks to be the team's second-best big play producer in the passing game after John Brown at this point. Cole Beasley […]

Bills Defense A Strong Starting Option In Week 5

Despite the team suffering its first loss of the season against the Patriots in Week 4, the Bills Defense continued its strong start to the year. No opponent has scored more than 17 points against the Bills yet this year. This week, the Bills have a road game against the Titans, who have shown flashes […]

Cole Beasley A Low-End PPR Starting Option If Josh Allen Plays

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley leads the team in receptions (24) and targets (36) through four games, barely edging out John Brown, who has 23 receptions and 34 targets. However, the Bills could be without starting quarterback Josh Allen (concussion) this week, as Allen is currently questionable while going through concussion protocol. If backup Matt […]

Saquon Barkley Misses Practice Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. However, Barkley looked good during individual drills at practice on Wednesday, and the Giants aren't yet ruling him out for Week 5 against the Vikings. He's ultimately doubtful to suit up, but a return as early as Week […]

T.J. Yeldon Not A Starting Option In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has made some strides with the team the past two weeks, compiling 117 combined rushing and receiving yards against the Bengals and Patriots. However, he didn't earn a single carry in Week 4, doing all his damage through the air, and he could be completely phased out of the […]

CC Sabathia Left Off ALDS Roster

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (shoulder) is being left off the roster for the American League Division Series against the Twins. Manager Aaron Boone said that Sabathia's shoulder didn't bounce back well after his last relief appearance. The left-hander had a cortisone injection and threw a simulated game on Tuesday. Sabathia could be […]

Zay Jones Remains Unworthy Of Rostering

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones has yet to reach 20 receiving yards on the season. Yes, you read that right: on the season. He's been targeted 18 times and has reeled in just seven catches for 18 yards. He has no business being on any fantasy rosters at this point. John Brown and Cole […]

James Paxton To Start Game 1 Against Twins

The New York Yankees have set their starting rotation for the American League Division Series against the Twins. James Paxton will go in Game 1 on Friday, followed by Masahiro Tanaka in Game 2 and Luis Severino in Game 3. Paxton, a left-hander, went 15-6 with a 3.82 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 186 strikeouts in […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 5) - Targets and Avoids

Week 4 was finally a week where the underdogs came through. More than a quarter of entries in pools were knocked out thanks to the Rams, Colts,  Texans and Ravens all losing.

Roll Out Frank Gore As Your RB2 In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore passed his biggest test of the young season with flying colors in Week 4. Gore rushed for 109 yards on 17 carries against a Patriots Defense that entered Week 4 with the No. 1 rushing defense in the league. This week, Gore will take on the Titans, who have […]

Tyler Glasnow Starting Game 1 Of ALDS

The Tampa Bay Rays have set their starting rotation for the American League Division Series against the Astros. Tyler Glasnow will go in Game 1 on Friday, followed by Blake Snell in Game 2 and Charlie Morton, who won the wild-card game against the A's, in Game 3. The Rays have an uphill battle to […]

Air Arians' Offense Is Taking Off

Coming into the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were expected to have one of the top offenses in the NFL. Through the first two weeks, they averaged just 15.5 points. Over the last two weeks though, they've turned things around to average 43 points following an explosive performance in L.A. Behind the Kansas City Chiefs […]

Will Dissly - Fantasy Football's New Star Tight End

You can mark down September 15 2019 as the day Will Dissly of the Seattle Seahawks truly made his way onto the fantasy football radar. He caught two TD passes in a road win at Pittsburgh, finishing with five receptions for 50 yards. It was a stirring win for the Seahawks on Pete Carroll’s birthday, […]

Unpacking the Fantasy Value in Green Bay

The Green Bay Packers were hit hard by injuries in their Week 4 loss to the Eagles. First, the team’s No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams was taken off the field on a stretcher after a vicious late hit at the beginning of the game. Then, the team’s No. 1 receiver Davante Adams left the […]
