Peyton Manning Takes on Father Time and Mother Nature in Week 6

It's been a rough start to the season for Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. Through five weeks he has averaged 246.8 passing yards per game, has just one 300-yard passing game and has thrown just six touchdowns to go with his seven interceptions. Father time is undefeated, and he looks to be taking down Manning […]

Andrew Luck Back Against the Patriots on Sunday Night

After missing the last two games, Andrew Luck is expected to return tonight against the Patriots according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Colts and Matt Hasselbeck were able to win both games against the Texans and Jaguars, but Luck back in the lineup is definitely good news for all of the Colts fantasy options. […]

Donte Moncrief to Get Back On Track

After hauling in just one catch for three yards last week against the Houston Texans, expect Donte Moncrief to get back to his breakout year for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6. Andre Johnson stole the show last week, but Andrew Luck is expected to start this week. Luck’s chemistry with Moncrief is evident, as […]

T.J. Yeldon Inactive for the Jaguars Today

T.J. Yeldon, who was limited in practice throughout the week with a groin injury, will be inactive today against the Texans according to Mark Long. In his place will be Denard Robinson, who rushed for 582 yards and four touchdowns last season. Robinson is a solid start this week, but he does face a Texans […]

Lamar Miller Still Looking for Breakout Game

With 37 rush attempts for an abysmal 131 rushing yards in four games, Lamar Miller is still seeking his first touchdown of the season as well as a rushing performance of more than 55 yards in a game. Going up against the Tennessee Titans 23rd ranked run defense, the Miami Dolphins look to utilize the […]

Sammy Watkins In, E.J. Manuel Making Bid for Starting Job

According to Adam Schefter, Sammy Watkins will return to the lineup for the Buffalo Bills after missing the last two weeks with a calf injury. Watkins will likely be peppered with targets in his return after he expressed his displeasure with his lack of targets so far this season, and the Bills agreed with him. […]

Mike Wallace Roller Coaster Continues

Coming off a bye week, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Mike Wallace looks to scorch a Kansas City Chiefs defense that’s giving up the most receiving yards and touchdowns in the NFL. Listed as probable going into Week 6, he’s all ready to go and could have his biggest day of the year. Teddy Bridgewater is […]

Justin Forsett Expected to Play Against the 49ers

According to Adam Schefter, Justin Forsett is expected to suit up today against the San Francisco 49ers today in a matchup of two 1-4 teams. With Forsett in the lineup, Javorius Allen is no longer a legitimate option for teams looking for an injury or bye week fill-in. Owners should also be hesitant to start […]

Julius Thomas Looks To Increase Workload

While it wasn’t the most inspiring start last week, Julius Thomas did return for the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, catching both of his targets for 20 yards. The 6’5” tight end should be much more effective this week at home against the Houston Texans. Thomas played on 32-of-61 snaps in the loss against the Tampa […]

Chris Johnson To Remain Starter

When The Arizona Cardinals go on the road this week to play the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chris Johnson will lead the way at running back. Unfortunately, it’s not 2009. That’s not to say he hasn’t been worthy of the role, rushing for 405 yards and two touchdowns thus far with a cool 5.1 yards per carry. […]

We Haven't Seen the Last of Thomas Rawls

While Marshawn Lynch stood on the sideline last week in Cincinnati, Thomas Rawls picked apart the first place and undefeated Bengals carrying the ball 23 times for 169 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 7.3 yards/carry. Although a rookie, he has still proven he has the ability to run the ball, also rushing for 104 […]

Dion Lewis Expected to Play vs Colts

ESPN Analyst Adam Schefter is reporting that New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis is expected to play in Sunday night's game against the Indianapolis Colts.  Lewis has been dealing with an abdominal injury, but was able to practice in a limited fashion this week. Lewis was surprisingly listed on the Patriots' injury report during […]

Steve Smith Sr. Expected to Play vs 49ers

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. is expected to take the field on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.  Smith was knocked out of Week 4's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a back injury, which also caused him to miss Week 5's game against the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens get Smith back after […]

Alshon Jeffery Expected to Play vs Lions

The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.  Jeffery has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury that has caused him to miss his last four games.  Jeffery did appear in the season opener, catching five balls for 78 yards […]

Arian Foster Ready to Break Out Against the Jaguars

After finishing with just 18 yards in his first game back in Week 4, Arian Foster rebounded for 118 total yards against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. Foster struggled to get things going on the ground, but he did some serious damage in the passing game by finishing with 77 receiving yards. Now, Foster […]

Lamar Miller Should Bounce Back Against Titans

The Miami Dolphins had high hopes coming into this NFL season, but a 1-3 start and the dismissal of their head coach has them wondering where to go next. The lack of use of running back Lamar Miller has been a reason for Miami's struggles this season, and the team needs to get him going […]

Jeremy Maclin Will See a Heavy Workload Against the Minnesota Vikings

The Kansas City Chiefs were dealt an awful blow when running back Jamaal Charles tore his ACL against the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The Chiefs had high hopes coming into this season, but after a 1-4 start and now having to sideline their best player for the year, the optimism has since dampened in […]

How Much Will Ahmad Bradshaw Cut Into Frank Gore's Fantasy Production?

Earlier this week, the Indianapolis Colts re-signed Ahmad Bradshaw in an effort to add more running back depth. After breaking his leg last year, Bradshaw is now healthy and the Colts brought him back looking to restore some of that magic that he displayed last year. Frank Gore's fantasy production is going to take a […]

Ameer Abdullah To Emerge Out Of The Trio In Detroit

Following a promising 11-4 campaign in 2014, a blown lead and controversial non-call in the Wild Card game against Dallas, the Detroit Lions hoped to compete again in 2015. But after an 0-5 start, it's been one continuous nightmare in the Motor City. Injuries have not helped. Starting the season with a running back by […]

Perez (Hand) Starting, Batting 7th For ALCS Game 2

Salvador Perez is in the lineup Saturday for the Kansas City Royals despite dealing with an issue with his hand. The Royals catcher will bat seventh and catch for Game 2 of the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays. There was almost no doubt that Perez would be back in the lineup for the early […]

Gary Barnidge, Charles Clay - Week 6 Lineup Busts?

Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) Suddenly the third ranked fantasy tight end in the league, Gary Barnidge looks the part of a potential beast this season. But against an elite Denver defense that has yet to surrender a touchdown to a tight end this year, it may be wise to leave Barnidge on the bench this week. […]

Pierre Garcon, Jeremy Maclin - Week 6 Lineup Busts?

Pierre Garcon (WR, WAS) Basically anyone who is facing Darrelle Revis will likely have a bad day. When it’s a glorified No. 2 receiver like Pierre Garcon, a bust is even more likely. Fantasy owners may have no choice but to start Garcon because of bye weeks, but a trip to Revis Island is rarely productive. […]

Andre Ellington, Duke Johnson - Week 6 Lineup Busts?

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) While Andre Ellington has scored in both games he played this season, his limited carries last week coupled with Pittsburgh’s strong running defense makes it difficult to trust him. The Steelers haven’t allowed a rushing touchdown to a running back this season so things don’t look good for Ellington.     Duke […]

A.J. Green, Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Marshall - Week 6 Lineup Booms

A.J. Green (WR, CIN) A.J. Green has only had one really explosive game this season, but he has an enticing matchup against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday. With the exception of last week’s game in Tennessee (and they don’t have any real quality receivers), the Bills have been owned by wide receivers this season, allowing seven […]

C.J. Anderson, Matt Forte - Week 6 Lineup Booms?

Matt Forte (RB, CHI) His seeming inability to consistently score touchdowns makes him a boring start, but the volume of touches can’t be denied. Matt Forte is the first, second and third option in Chicago, and Detroit hasn’t exactly been stellar at defending running backs. Last week the Lions surrendered three rushing touchdowns and 191 rushing […]
