Gerald Everett Still A Factor

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett provided a spark with five grabs for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His eight targets were somewhat surprising since Tyler Higbee returned from a one-game absence due to injury. Everett could have some sneaky value at a cheap […]

Tyler Higbee Not Promising This Week

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee returned from a bruised lung to post four catches for 41 yards last week. They were solid numbers, but Higbee can't be counted on for consistent production like that devoid of touchdowns. Speaking of touchdowns, tight end Gerald Everett also posted five catches for 44 yards and reached […]

Malcolm Brown Not An Option

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown has done very little since he vultured two touchdowns in Week 1. The team has used the pass heavily through four weeks. Even while monitoring starting running back Todd Gurley's touches, Brown has just 14 carries for 58 yards over the last three games. Brown is just a […]

No Practice For Marlon Mack

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday after injuring his ankle late in the Week 4 loss to the Raiders. Mack should be considered questionable to suit up in Week 5 on Sunday night against the Chiefs for now. He'll need to get in some practice later in the week […]

Todd Gurley Ready For Resurgence?

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a midrange matchup against the divisional-rival Seattle Seahawks this week. Gurley really helped his season statistics last week with two touchdowns, but it's troublesome that he had five carries for 16 yards otherwise. The team has been cautious with his usage thus far, but this is an […]

Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Not At Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Adams and Williams are looking extremely questionable for Week 5 against the Cowboys, with Williams being more on the doubtful side after being taken off the field on a stretcher last Thursday. If Adams […]

Welcome to Wednesday baseball on DraftKings! We're going to be looking at this two-game Wils-card/divisional slate with a whole bevy of options to consider. Every pitcher is good and they're all facing off with great offenses. Let's dive in and find a top play at each position! In this article, I will be providing you […]

Eric Sogard Left Off Wild-Card Roster, Yandy Diaz Available

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Eric Sogard (foot) is not on the roster for the American League wild-card game on Wednesday against the A's. Third baseman Yandy Diaz has been included. Sogard has been out since Sept. 15 and was just not able to get healthy enough to be included for the win-or-go-home game. The […]

Zay Jones, Tre'Davious White Miss Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones (shoulder) and cornerback Tre'Davious White (neck) did not practice on Wednesday. Jones has only seven receptions on 18 targets for 69 scoreless yards through four weeks, so he's not on the fantasy radar regardless of his health. It's unclear if White is in danger of missing this Sunday's game. […]

Chargers Put Dontrelle Inman On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers placed wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. With Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin missing Week 4, the Bolts are down to three healthy receivers in Keenan Allen, Geremy Davis and Andre Patton. Inman was a sneaky DFS play against the Dolphins with Williams and Benjamin inactive, but […]

Bengals Place John Ross On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed wide receiver John Ross (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed wide receiver Stanley Morgan from their practice squad in a corresponding move. Ross injured himself in the Monday night loss to the Steelers and can be dropped in shallow leagues. It's a shame, as the speedy wideout was having […]

Week 4 Disaster Recovery: DeAndre Hopkins

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have sat a player for somebody on your bench. Disaster Recovery is to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about starting, and deciding if you should be panicking at all about […]

Christian Kirk, Damiere Byrd Unlikely To Play Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) are both unlikely to play in Week 5 against the Bengals, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kirk will be limited in practice on Wednesday, but it's unclear if he's dealing with a low or high ankle sprain. Byrd would be missing his second […]

Tyreek Hill, Damien Williams Return To Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (collarbone) and running back Damien Williams (knee) will return to practice on Wednesday, although head coach Andy Reid wouldn't specify how much they'll do or if they'll be available in Week 5 against the Colts on Sunday night. It's good news for both players, but with the game […]

Saquon Barkley Not Ruled Out For Week 5

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur isn't ruling out running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) for Week 5 against the Vikings. "Some people’s doctor’s had him at eight weeks. Not my doctors," Shurmur said. Barkley didn't practice on Wednesday, but he was in full uniform doing individual drills off to the side. It's unlikely that […]

Digging Deeper Into Quarterback Data - NFL NextGen Stats

I can't believe it. Months of waiting, painful empty weekends, and now a quarter of the NFL season is suddenly gone! But I'm not going to lie, I love the moment when the whistle blows to end the week on Monday nights. It is just the confirmation that we have another full round of data […]

Edwin Encarnacion, Giovanny Urshela Improving

New York Yankees designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) has swung at full force the last two days, according to manager Aaron Boone, and the first base/DH situation will hinge on how Encarnacion gets through workouts on Wednesday. Infielder Giovanny Urshela (ankle) went through a full workout on Tuesday and is good to go for the […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Could Get Some Playing Time in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside has been disappointing so far, but could have one more week to get right and a good matchup in which to do it. The Eagles take on an easy New York Jets passing defense, and DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is looking like he'll miss one more game. Arcega-Whiteside hasn't […]

Wayne Gallman On Week 5 Injury Report

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Head coach Pat Shurmur said it's "game soreness" and isn't worried about Gallman's status as the lead back for Week 5 against the Vikings. Gallman did his best Saquon Barkley impersonation last week by scoring a rushing and […]

Mack Hollins Could Be Relevant for One More Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins could have fantasy relevance one more time in Week 5. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) shaping up to miss another game, Hollins should get some run in three-wide sets against a barely-there New York Jets secondary. While Alshon Jeffery should be the star of the passing game, Hollins has only […]

Nelson Agholor Looks for a Better Game in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor will hope to improve on his disastrous Week 4 performance this week. Held without a catch in Week 4, Agholor will likely get another week without DeSean Jackson (abdomen) in the starting lineup. Facing off against a soft New York Jets secondary, Agholor could see a fair number of […]

Fantasy Football Injuries - Stash 'Em or Drop 'Em?

Fantasy players are generally impatient sorts. That’s not a criticism, just a reality. There are only 13 regular season matchups and the results of every game feel so heavily magnified. Owners always want to improve their team, and they want to improve it now! So naturally, many fantasy owners don’t have the endurance or composure […]

Alshon Jeffery Has a Good Matchup in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has a good matchup against the New York Jets in Week 5. Jeffery scored a touchdown against a strong Green Bay Packers Defense in Week 4, and now he gets a much softer secondary to fight against in Week 5. In a game the Eagles are favored by almost […]

Darren Sproles Not a Fantasy Option for Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a fantasy option in a Week 5 game against the New York Jets. Sproles saw just one touch in Week 4, gaining four yards on the ground. He had a surprisingly large role on offense in Week 1, but has been mostly relegated to special teams since. […]

Miles Sanders Not Exciting as a Week 5 Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is an unexciting RB3 option in Week 5, although he does carry some upside. Sanders ran for 72 scoreless yards in Week 4 while watching Jordan Howard score three touchdowns. More of the same could happen this week with the Eagles as big home favorites against the New […]

Josh Jacobs, J.J. Nelson Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (elbow) and wide receiver J.J. Nelson (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Jacobs should play in London in Week 5 against the Bears, but Chicago's defensive front is tough on opposing runners, making the rookie a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 in this matchup. Nelson was inactive in […]

Jordan Howard Could Score Some More in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is a decent fantasy running back option for Week 5. Howard just scored three touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers and while he may not find the end zone three times again against the New York Jets in Week 5, he should at least get a few chances to […]

T.Y. Hilton Out Wednesday, Darius Leonard To Be Limited

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) will not practice on Wednesday. Linebacker Darius Leonard (concussion), who has missed the last two games, will practice on a limited basis. Hilton sat out in Week 4 and with the team's bye coming in Week 6, it's possible the Colts give […]

Carson Wentz a Strong Option in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a strong fantasy option in Week 5. The Eagles will take on the New York Jets at home and should have little trouble moving the ball against them. Wentz is coming off a three-touchdown performance against a strong Green Bay Packers Defense, and could have a similar or even […]

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 […]
