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 […]

D'Angelo Russell Looks Good in First Practice

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell looked good during his first practice with his new team, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors roster is banged up, so they need Russell help carry the load. Kerr loves that way Russell plays, so expect Russell to see plenty of playing time. His fantasy value is […]

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. Ace Max Scherzer started the wild-card win over the Brewers on Tuesday and Stephen Strasburg pitched three innings of scoreless relief for the win, so the southpaw Corbin will […]

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. After serving a four-game suspension, Tate will slide right into the starting lineup after the team released Bennie Fowler, who had been operating as the team's number three receiver and main slot option. The Vikings are a tough […]

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. "He prepares -- he's always prepared like the starter," Ballard said via team transcripts. "And I remember saying this during Andrew's (Luck's) press conference when he retired that, look, Jacoby […]

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. Barber, who looks to have taken a firm back seat to Jones, saved his Week 4 performance by scoring a touchdown after totaling just 19 yards on the ground. […]
