Jacksonville Jaguars' Running Back T.J. Yeldon Questionable For Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back T. J Yeldon may miss this Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans. Yeldon has been out with a groin injury he suffered in Week 5 in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and is not expected to practice on Friday either. Head Coach Gus Bradley […]

Marshawn Lynch In Full Practice On Thursday, Expected To Play On Sunday

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was upgraded to "full" in his practice on Thursday. He had been out with a hamstring injury since Week 3. Lynch is expected to play this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Head Coach Pete Carroll said that Lynch is still very much locked-in as the lead running back for […]

Buffalo Bills' Running Back LeSean McCoy Hints At Possible Return Against Bengals

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy hinted on Instagram at his possible return on Sunday. He has been dealing with a hamstring injury since August, and has not played since Week 3. Head Coach Rex Ryan has said that he is "cautiously optimistic" about McCoy's return in Week 6 against the 5-0 Cincinnati Bengals. Ryan is usually […]

Carlos Hyde Limited in Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde has been limited in practice all week, but no worries - he's fully expected to go in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. 49ers OC Geep Chryst has said that the team will likely limit Hyde's practice time for the rest of the season in an attempt to […]

T.J. Yeldon Considered a Game-Time Decision

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back T.J. Yeldon is being considered a game-time decision despite missing practice all week with a groin injury. It would be rare for a rookie to start a football game without practicing all week. According to the Florida Times Union, coach Gus Bradley isn't ruling it out, but it seems highly […]

Quarterbacks & Tight Ends Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 6

In the NFL, there are always those players who make you more and more anxious as the season goes on. They either aren't producing at the level they should, or too much of their production is coming in garbage time, making them unreliable on a week-to-week basis. Fortunately, we're here to point out five of […]

Tyrod Taylor Officially Doubtful for Week 6

Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor is officially being listed as doubtful for the team's week 6 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. His sprained MCL has kept him limited in practice all week long. Former first-round draft pick E.J. Manuel will get the start at quarterback and […]

Buy Low/Sell High for Fantasy Football Week 6 (Part 2)

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season. The key is to buy low on cold players, then swap them out once they get hot and their value skyrockets. Everyone knows this method, but that doesn't mean you still can't […]

Alshon Jeffery's Status Still Up in the Air

Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has missed the past several weeks with a hamstring injury and his status for Week 6 is still up in the air. However, Jeffery seems to be moving in the right direction. He was a limited participant in practice on Thursday and he says he "I feel a lot […]

Randall Cobb Says Shoulder 'Could Be' an Issue All Season

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb has been dealing with a bum shoulder since Week 4 and it doesn't sound like it will get any better going forward. Cobb told the media that the injury may be a problem for the rest of the season. “I think it’s a possibility it could be,” Cobb […]

Is Ben Watson the New Jimmy Graham?

New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson was unstoppable on Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. He hauled in 10-of-12 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown. He was quarterback Drew Brees' favorite target and looked just as good as former Saints tight end Jimmy Graham. But should fantasy football owners […]

Sammy Watkins Unhappy With Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is not happy with his current role. The former fourth overall draft pick thinks the team is making him "look bad" by not targeting him enough in the passing game. "I need the ball at least 10 times -- I need 10 targets -- and l'll be fine with […]

Future Tense: The Arizona Fall League, Part IV: Peoria Javelinas

Given the performance of the teams supplying the Javelinas, one would think that there would be great talent on this team. Alas, that is not to be the case. While the Atlanta Braves have provided quality to this club, they are just about the only ones. The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres foolishly thought that they […]

FanDuel Picks for Daily Fantasy Football Week 6: DFS Lineup Advice and Sleepers

As the NFL season progresses, injuries continue to occur. While it's heartbreaking to watch an elite talent like Jamaal Charles tear his ACL, it opens up opportunities for other running backs. These are the situations we, as DFS players, need to take advantage of. In this article, my FanDuel DFS lineup targets, I will be […]

Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 6 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 6 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings targets.

It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices […]

Daily Fantasy NASCAR: DraftKings DFS Picks & Analysis for the Hollywood Casino 400

The second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup kicked off with Joey Logano dominating Charlotte and locking himself in the next round. The top 10 was loaded with Chase drivers as expected. This keeps the standings tight at the top with only 13 points separating the top 8 drivers. The biggest stories of the […]

Alfred Morris, Matt Jones, Chris Thompson - Week 6 Fantasy Outlooks

Okay, what is going on here? After declaring that Alfred Morris had regained control of the backfield in Washington, he ended up with the least touches among the three running backs on the team. Matt Jones saw the majority of the work here, but still posted a somewhat ineffective 11-20-1 line. His early season success seems […]

Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle, Christine Michael - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Darren McFadden has absorbed Lance Dunbar's role as the pass-catching back in addition to maintaining his handful of carries for the Cowboys. The result was 78 yards on five carries and nine receptions. All of the sudden, McFadden is a tantalizing option in PPR leagues. His role and productivity is only likely to increase as […]

DeMarco Murray, Ryan Mathews, Shane Vereen - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

The roles in the Ginats backfield were further affirmed on Sunday night against the 49ers, as Rashad Jennings led the committee in carries while Shane Vereen was the featured back in the passing game. By the numbers, Vereen had the most impressive performance of the three, racking up 110 yards on 13 touches with a […]

T.J. Yeldon, Antonio Andrews, Bishop Sankey - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Tennessee has entered into a true RBBC situation, as Bishop Sankey, Dexter McCluster and Antonio Andrews all received an equal amount of carries and success, or lack thereof. Andrews was the only back who recorded over 50 yards from scrimmage with 54 yards on ten touches. Similarly to the opposing Buffalo Bills, the quarterback Marcus […]

Frank Gore, Arian Foster - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Frank Gore looked good against the Texans on Thursday night, posting an encouraging 22-98-1 line. He was not targeted in the passing game, which is not unusual. Still, Gore remains the only running back of any consequence in Indianapolis. Thus far, his performance has been polarized. Perhaps he should only be started when the situation looks […]

Giovani Bernard, Jeremy Hill, Duke Johnson - Week 6 Fantasy Outlooks

It seems quite certain the Giovani Bernard has regained the starting duties from sophomore RB Jeremy Hill in Cincinnati. Bernard managed 101 yards on 20 touches compared to just 25 yards on nine touches for Hill. This game comes to the dismay of owners who spent an early draft pick on a now-backup running back. […]

Melvin Gordon, Danny Woodhead, Latavius Murray, Marcel Reece - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Week 5 showed another sign of regression for Latavius Murray, who only recorded 57 yards on 16 touches, good for his lowest total of the year. There were a ton of different faces popping up in the Raiders backfield in this contest, as Murray, Jamize Olawale, Roy Helu and fullback Marcel Reece all managed more […]

Charcandrick West, Knile Davis, C.J. Anderson, Ronnie Hillman - Week 6 Fantasy Outlooks

Another week, another uninspiring performance from the Broncos backfield. C.J. Anderson continued his poor play with just 22 yards on 11 carries, followed by more poor play from Hillman's 7-21-0 afternoon. Neither of these guys should show their faces in starting fantasy rosters until further notice. In all fairness, much of the backfield's struggles are […]

Lamar Miller, LeSean McCoy, Dan Herron - Week 6 Outlooks

In the absence of both starting running backs in Week 5, Buffalo could not muster much of a running game. Though it was reported that Boobie Dixon would receive starting duties, newly-signed back Dan Herron surprisingly led the team with nine carries. Dixon managed 39 yards on ten touches. The leading rusher was quarterback Tyrod […]

LeGarrette Blount, Dion Lewis, Chris Ivory - Week 6 Outlooks

Although LeGarrette Blount led the Patriots backfield in carries again this week, Dion Lewis continued to impress in the backup role. When I say impress, I mean this. Lewis looked like a break dancer en route to the end zone against the Cowboys, ducking and contorting his body to score six. On the afternoon, the […]

Start Brian Hoyer vs the Jaguars

Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer will start Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Houston Texans have gone back and forth between quarterbacks Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallet, but it appears Hoyer has earned the spot for the time being. In Hoyer's last two games, he has thrown for 544 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. […]

Expect Tom Brady and Company to Have A Huge Day vs Colts

Sunday night's late game features a classic battle between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts.  The Patriots come into Indianapolis with a 4-0 record while the Colts sit at 3-2.  After an 0-2 start, the Colts have rebounded nicely, winning their last three games. The Patriots will enter the game as a 7.5-point favorite […]
