Tyrell Williams Not Practicing, Questionable For Week 5

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday and is questionable for Week 5 in London against the Bears. Williams is the only player in the NFL to have a receiving touchdown in all four weeks of the season, but he has been trending down in recent weeks. With a tough […]

Evan Engram Has Giants Best Matchup

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has perhaps the best matchup of all the team's receiving options. Although the Vikings have a strong defense, they have been beaten by top tight ends this year, allowing 9 catches for 77 yards against Austin Hooper and 13 catches for 134 yards against Darren Waller. With the […]

Patrick Corbin To Start Game 1 Of NLDS

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin will start Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Thursday against the Dodgers, according to manager Dave Martinez.

Sterling Shepard's Role In Question With Giants At Full Strength

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard heads into Week 5 with a few question marks. As the team's top wide receiver so far, Shepard has developed a strong rapport with quarterback Daniel Jones. However, he has also done most of his damage while operating out of the slot. That's the same position where recently-activated […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 5

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Golden Tate Returns For Giants In Week 5

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will make his first appearance of the season on Sunday.

Offensive Line Rankings Analysis: Week 5

Week 4 had some great games, and it was nice to see that some of the comments I'd made on offensive line play seemed to take effect. I just hope you read my article and took action on it! The Detroit Lions were my offensive line to watch last week, with Kerryon Johnson being the […]

Colts GM Praises Jacoby Brissett

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard praised the way quarterback Jacoby Brissett has handled everything so far in the wake of Andrew Luck's surprise retirement.

Wayne Gallman Is A Borderline Option Versus Vikings

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman will find the sledding tougher this week against the Vikings top 10-rush defense. Despite putting up big fantasy numbers last week, Gallman was only able to gain 63 yards on his 18 carries against the Redskins. His success came because he found the end zone twice and hauled […]

Daniel Jones Faces Stiff Test Against Vikings

New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones will face his toughest test yet when he takes the field against the Vikings on Sunday. After four weeks, the Vikings are the 11th best fantasy defense against quarterbacks, giving up under 20 points a game to the position. Jones will get Golden Tate back for the first […]

It's not pretty, but we have a two-game slate on our hands in college football with two home underdogs. The slate isn't clear either, so there should be plenty of an edge to grab onto. Temple is our top offense on the slate, and they're not even projected to score 35 points. There are a […]

Peyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 5 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber looked solid in his Week 2 performance but has otherwise been outshined by fellow backfield mate Ronald Jones II.

Franklin Barreto Will Make Wild-Card Roster

Oakland Athletics second baseman Franklin Barreto will make the wild-card roster for Wednesday's game against the Rays, according to a source. Barreto will be an option off the bench as a pinch-runner like he was in last year's wild-card game.

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

There were plenty of fireworks on Sunday, with eight teams scoring 30 or more points. The vultures also came out to roost, assuming that's what vultures do. In other words, several unknown players came onto the field simply to steal a touchdown away from a fantasy stud and frustrate fantasy owners. We won't list those […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Some of you have been receiving outstanding results from the running backs that you selected during your draft process.

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Let's talk about wide receivers! This week's waiver wire list has some strong names on it.

There was another strong Mohamed Sanu […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 5

There will not be a stampede of fantasy players searching for tight ends this week.

Hockenson and Miami’s underwhelming Mike Gesicki are the two starting tight ends off. That does not […]
