Khalil Shakir Ruled Out For Week 5

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans. Shakir was pulled early during last week's game due to an ankle issue. It doesn't seem to be improving too well as he hasn't practiced this week. As a result, Shakir will sit out […]

Minnesota Vikings D/ST A Strong Play In Week 5

The Minnesota Vikings D/ST is the best in fantasy through the first month of the season and has an enticing matchup in Week 5 against the New York Jets. The Vikings have had at least two takeaways in every game in 2024, peaking with a four-takeaway effort in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. […]

Joe Mixon Unlikely To Play In Week 5

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is not expected to suit up for the Week 5 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Mixon hasn't played since Week 2 and it looks like he'll miss at least one more game. Mixon hasn't been able to practice this week, which puts him in the wrong direction ahead […]

Will Reichard A Streaming Option At Kicker In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard has been a solid fantasy kicker this season and hopes to continue meaningful production in Week 5 against the New York Jets in London. The rookie kicker has yet to miss a kick, so far making all six field goals and all 14 extra points attempted. Reichard has benefitted from […]

Jordan Addison A Low-End Flex Play In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) returned from an ankle injury last week and hopes to continue building a rapport with quarterback Sam Darnold in Week 5 against the New York Jets. The second-year receiver missed two-and-a-half games recovering from his injury and showed up in a big way in his first game back. […]

Justin Jefferson Projected For Continued Success In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been reliably trustworthy for fantasy managers each week. He looks to continue his stretch of consistent excellence in Week 5 against the New York Jets. The 25-year-old receiver is the only player to score at least 13 fantasy points in all four games (half-PPR scoring) and became the […]

Jaylen Waddle A Lowly Flex Option

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has an enticing Week 5 matchup in a road tilt against the New England Patriots. Waddle -- along with the other Dolphins skill players -- has been one of the more disappointing fantasy assets through the first month of the season as his team works through their offensive challenges […]

Aaron Jones A High-End RB2, Low-End RB1 Play In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has been productive for his team through four games and looks to build off the first month against the New York Jets in Week 5. The former Green Bay Packer rusher has been a jack-of-all-trades for Minnesota, as the back has averaged 80 rushing yards and 36 receiving yards […]

NFL DFS RB and WR Anchors for Week 5 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools and Content can be accessed on the premium dashboard. This piece looks at the top running backs or wide receivers to build your cash or tournament lineups around. Most weeks, I will recommend two running backs and two wide receivers who you can use as building blocks, but occasionally, a tight […]

Sam Darnold Potential QB1 Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold (knee) has been a top-nine fantasy QB in each of the past three weeks and faces a tough challenge in Week 5 against a stout New York Jets defense. The Jets have allowed the second-fewest passing yards and third-fewest passing touchdowns through four weeks of the season. That is likely […]

Tyreek Hill In Blow-Up Spot This Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has a juicy matchup lined up this Sunday when his team hits the road to square off against their division-rival New England Patriots. The veteran speedster has seen his production dip over the last few outings since a massive seven-catch, 130-yard performance in the team's season opener. Not only […]

NASCAR Truck Series DFS: DraftKings Lineup Picks for Talladega Love's RV Stop 225 (10/4/24)

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series heads to Talladega this weekend. Superspeedway races are always significantly different than other races because the pack racing makes for a lot of movement and a lot of big crashes. Place differential is more important than ever. You're going to want to mostly pick drivers that start outside the top […]

Buffalo Bills D/ST Not A Starting Option Against Houston

The Buffalo Bills defense/special teams draws the Houston Texans in Week 5. The Texans are averaging a shade under 20 points per game, and their offense has taken a step back with Joe Mixon (ankle) sidelined. He's trending toward missing another game, which should slow down the Houston offense. However, Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs […]

Ray Davis Still A High-Upside Bench Stash

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis remains one of the best running back bench stashes across the league as the NFL enters Week 5. Under offensive coordinator Joe Brady, the Bills lean on James Cook and the running game. The rookie has been called upon to spell Cook on early downs. Veteran Ty Johnson would […]

Curtis Samuel Could See More Usage In Week 5

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel has played the fewest snaps of any Buffalo wide receiver this season but that could change in Week 5. Khalil Shakir (ankle) is in danger of missing the contest. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady stated to the media that he wants Samuel to be on the field more often. The […]

Dalton Kincaid Remains A TE1 In Week 5

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is the TE7 on the season, despite an up-and-down campaign so far. Kincaid hasn't topped 50 yards in any game and has only finished as a TE1 once. Fantasy managers can trust Kincaid's floor, especially given the state of the tight-end landscape. Josh Allen should throw the ball more […]

De'Von Achane Has Tough Week 5 Matchup

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane will have his work cut out for him this week when the team takes on the New England Patriots in Foxborough. The second-year back started the season off hot with back-to-back seven-catch games and 20+ fantasy-point outings. However, he's cooled over the last few weeks, with Miami posting just […]

Keon Coleman Could Become De-Facto WR1 Against Houston

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman could be called upon more often against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Top wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday and is at risk of missing the game. If he does, Coleman and Dalton Kincaid should see a target bump. Still, it would be […]

Tutu Atwell A Solid Flex Option In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell has now posted back-to-back weeks with WR3 finishes and even boasted a 90% snap share in their Week 4 loss against the Chicago Bears. Atwell hauled in four of his six targets for 82 yards in that contest while receiving a 21% target share. Since Cooper Kupp (ankle) […]

James Cook In The RB1 Range In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook suffered through the worst fantasy performance of his season in Week 4 but should bounce back against the Houston Texans. Cook was removed from the game due to a negative game script against the Ravens. He logged just 10 touches for under 50 yards. The game script on Sunday […]

Josh Allen Keeps QB1 Status Against Houston

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has ping-ponged between being the top fantasy football quarterback and an unstartable asset (QB28) over the past four weeks. Blowouts have been to blame. The Bills won two games by an average of 29 points and then lost in Week 4 by 25. A (hopefully) more competitive tilt against the […]

Kyren Williams Remains A Must-Start Against Packers

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams had some question marks surrounding his role entering the season, but after four weeks it's clear to see he remains the bell cow of this backfield. Williams has 23 touches compared to Ronnie Rivers' six in their Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears, and he's seen no […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC 307: Pereira vs. Rountree Jr.

The UFC is back for its yearly trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, at Delta Center. The event will mark the promotion's fourth visit to Salt Lake City and first since UFC 291 in July 2023. The UFC 307 is headlined by the promotion's current most active champion Alex Pereira, who looks to defend his […]

Tyler Huntley An Uninspiring Week 5 Option

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley will line up for his second start of the season this Sunday when the team hits the road to take on the New England Patriots. With quarterback Skylar Thompson (ribs) still tending to an injury that forced him from Miami's Week 3 matchup, the dual-threat 26-year-old will again be at […]

Matthew Stafford Hovering At High-End QB2 Against Packers

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford hasn't posted the best start to the season in terms of fantasy football, but he continues to rack up yards and completions. Despite clocking in as the QB29, he has the highest completion percentage of his career this season while averaging 244.5 yards per game. This is all while […]

Practice Window For T.J. Hockenson Officially Opens Friday

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is officially participating in practice on Friday as the team has officially opened his practice window. According to Ian Rapoport, the team may give him the full three weeks to prepare and get as close to 100% healthy as possible. He last played in Week 16 of last […]

Cade Otton Goes Over 40 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton continued his success during Thursday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Otton hauled in three of his four targets for 44 yards during the overtime loss. This now marks three straight games that Otton has surpassed 40 receiving yards. This is nice to see after Otton had one total […]

Chris Godwin Snags Five Receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin continued his successful 2024 campaign during Thursday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wideout hauled in five of his six targets for 64 yards in the overtime loss. Fellow wideout Mike Evans saw the red zone attention this week with two touchdowns. Despite that, Godwin still put […]

The veteran wideout hauled in five of his seven targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns during the overtime loss.
