Cowboys Defense Just a Middling Option in Week 5

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is just an okay option in fantasy lineups in Week 5. With the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers battling on Sunday and Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers coming off a 422-yard performance, it's hard to rank the Cowboys defense as high as they've been in previous weeks. They're not a unit […]

Indians To Pick Up Corey Kluber's Option, Decline Jason Kipnis'

Cleveland Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said that the team plans to pick up starting pitcher Corey Kluber's (arm) 2020 option, but they will decline the options on second baseman Jason Kipnis and relief pitcher Dan Otero. Kluber fractured his arm in May of 2019 and didn't pitch the rest of the way, finishing with […]

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Welcome to our DFS Top Value Plays column for the 2019 MLB Poststeason. As you might imagine, this column will take on a different look for the month of October than you are used to seeing during the regular season. There are fewer games (thus […]

Brett Maher Could Have a Big Day in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher could be a strong choice as a fantasy kicker in Week 5. Although Maher has been effective when called upon this season, it hasn't translated into a ton of success in fantasy lineups. The Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers this week though, and in what should be a close […]

Blake Jarwin Not a Startable Tight End in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not much of a starting option in most formats in Week 5. With the Cowboys going up against a good Green Bay Packers Defense, Jarwin is unlikely to be heavily involved. He's coming off a three-catch game against the Saints and would do well to match that total […]

Jason Witten Shaping Up as a Safe Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is looking like a safe, low-upside choice for Week 5. With the Cowboys expected to rely mostly on the running game and short passes against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, Witten could see a few more targets than usual. He'll likely do what he's done his whole […]

Gardner Minshew Lands On Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew (knee) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Doug Marrone said the team is being careful with Minshew's knee. The Jaguars are just being cautious here with the rookie, so we'd fully expect him to suit up in Week 5 against the Panthers. Minshew hasn't made many […]

No Timetable For Tyler Kroft

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) is progressing but has no timetable for a return, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Kroft was close to returning in Week 3 but suffered an ankle injury in practice. He has yet to make his season debut and is well off the fantasy radar right now. Rookie […]

Devin Singletary Will Be Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) will be limited in practice on Wednesday. Singletary was limited in practice last Thursday and Friday but ultimately missed his second straight game. Head coach Sean McDermott said that Singletary was close to playing last week, so he has a good chance of returning in Week 5 against […]

Michael Gallup Expected To Return To Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) is expected to resume practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday, according to head coach Jason Garrett. It will be Gallup's first practice in two weeks. It's good news, but Gallup isn't a guarantee to suit up against the Packers in Week 5 just yet. Even if he […]

The Tape Tells All - Wayne Gallman's Week 4 Performance

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. This week, I'm looking at a New York Giants player for the second consecutive week, which is not something I expected to do this […]

Sam Darnold Will Practice Wednesday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) will practice on Wednesday and "see how it goes," according to head coach Adam Gase. The Jets are taking it day-to-day with Darnold, and he still hasn't been cleared for contact. It's not a lock that he returns in Week 5 to face the porous and injured Eagles […]

Josh Allen Remains In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (head) remains in the league's concussion protocol and will do some individual work at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen must be cleared from the protocol to have a chance at playing in a tough matchup this Sunday against the Titans on the road. He's shaping […]

Devin Smith Not a Week 5 Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is not a starting option in almost any format for Week 5. The Cowboys will be fighting against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, and Smith's game simply doesn't match well with the Packers defensive game plan. Smith has been serving as Dak Prescott's deep threat, but with […]

DeSean Jackson Won't Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will not practice on Wednesday. D-Jax is probably on the wrong side of questionable as of now for Week 5 against the Jets, so you should plan on being without him for another week. If he misses another game, it'll be Alshon […]

Randall Cobb Not Worth a Start in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not worth a start in most fantasy formats for Week 5. With the Cowboys taking on a difficult Green Bay Packers Defense, this game will likely be played through running back Ezekiel Elliott. Cobb could be around to snag a few short passes and could even score an […]

Amari Cooper Has a Tough Matchup With the Packers in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has a tough matchup with the Green Bay Packers secondary coming up in Week 5. The Packers Defense has been great at limiting opposing passing games, featuring a strong secondary and a fearsome pass rush. Still, Cooper's talent should allow him to come down with at least a few […]

Tony Pollard Just a Backup for Week 5

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is just a backup for a Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers. Even though the Packers Defense isn't great against opposing run games, Pollard is coming off a zero-touch game against the Saints and won't be heavily involved in the game plan on Sunday. The Cowboys […]

Ezekiel Elliott an Easy RB1 Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is an easy RB1 choice in all fantasy formats in Week 5. The Cowboys will face off against the Green Bay Packers, a defense that has been great at shutting down passing games but not so much with running games. The Cowboys offense should run through "Zeke" in this […]

Dak Prescott Has a Tough Matchup in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Coming off a game in which he struggled against the Saints last week, Prescott gets a strong Packers secondary and pass rush to deal with this week. He's still a QB1 in fantasy, but he's more in the […]

Saquon Barkley Already Back at Practice

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was spotted at practice Wednesday. He was limited to stretching and light change-of-direction drills with the training staff, but this is a huge step in his recovery from an injury that many thought would keep him out eight weeks. The Giants will still likely be cautious with their […]

Trey Burke Makes Solid Impression in First Practice

Philadelphia 76ers guard Trey Burke made a solid impression on the organization during his first practice with the Sixers on Tuesday. "Trey was really good today, " according to head coach Brett Brown. He signed a one-year veteran-minimum deal with the Sixers this summer. However, Burke isn't likely to have much fantasy value behind Ben […]

Darius Slayton Isn't Playable

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has likely seen his fantasy usefulness dry up. With Golden Tate and Cody Latimer returning, Slayton is now fourth on the wide receiver depth chart in New York. While he does offer a deep-threat element, he's simply not going to see enough targets to warrant being played in […]

Giants Defense Off The Streaming Radar

The New York Giants Defense is coming off a strong showing against the Washington Redskins, where they intercepted four passes and recorded three sacks. The Vikings are not the Redskins. For all of Kirk Cousins' flaws, he's only thrown two interceptions this season, and the Vikings offensive line has allowed eight sacks. The Giants also […]

Dejounte Murray Has Improved Jumper

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (knee) is excited to show off his new and improved jumper this season. He missed all of last season after tearing his ACL in the third preseason game. He's been cleared to play and is ready to show he's 100 percent healthy once again. Murray's fantasy value is […]

Warning Signs: Week 4 Review

What a week it was. Not only did the Browns finally look like the team we expected, there were also numerous upsets all around the league. Don’t worry survivor pool participants - the Dolphins didn’t win. It wasn't that crazy of a week. But things were for sure crazy. The fact the Raiders, Panthers, Buccaneers, […]

Kristaps Porzingis A Full Participant in Practice

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. It is a promising sign that Porzingis is back to being 100 percent healthy. Head coach Rick Carlisle said that Porzingis did terrific during his first practice from start to finish in awhile. This is a great step forward for Porzingis, so hopefully […]

Keep Starting Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is coming off another awesome performance Week 4 against the Rams Defense. He seemed to always be a step ahead of the Rams defenders, showing his elite quickness time and again. For the week, Godwin finished with the most fantasy points in the NFL with 12 receptions for […]

Denzel Valentine is 100 Percent Healthy

Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine (ankle) is 100 percent healthy and is beginning to get back into game shape. Valentine missed all of last season after having ankle surgery. He averaged 10.2 points and 3.2 assists in 27.2 minutes during the 2017-18 season. He could be looking at consistent minutes off the bench. He's not […]

Paul George In No Rush To Return

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) is not going to rush his rehab, so he could be sidelined longer than expected. "I’m not going to rush it. I’ll be ready when the time comes," said George. He's been doing non-contact work during camp and said he's at 85-90 percent. George has already been ruled […]
