Javonte Williams Expects To Be Listed As Questionable

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (quadriceps) said he expects to be listed as questionable for the Week 5 game on Sunday against the New York Jets. Williams didn't practice at all on Wednesday before returning to a limited session on Thursday, so he has a chance to play this weekend. The problem is he […]

Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5: Garrett Wilson, Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle

It's still early in the 2023 NFL season, meaning fantasy managers are still tasked with making tough lineup decisions based on limited data. Garrett Wilson, Courtland Sutton, and Jaylen Waddle are all hot names ahead of Sunday's games. Wilson has been downgraded to the low-end WR2 range after the season-ending injury of Aaron Rodgers, Sutton […]

Chris Boswell Remains Uninteresting For Fantasy In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has drilled all of his field goal attempts and extra-point tries so far this season and will look to stay perfect in a divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately for Boswell, Pittsburgh's offense has struggled to sustain drives and is unlikely to turn things around this week against a […]

Zay Jones Not On Fantasy Radar If He Returns From Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) could suit up against his former team in London for an upcoming Week 5 Bills matchup. The eighth-year receiver has missed the last two contests with a knee injury but has logged limited practice sessions all week, putting him on track to take the field this coming weekend […]

Darnell Washington Should Have Expanded Role Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington has caught just one pass so far this season but could be in line for additional opportunities against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. With Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) officially inactive for Sunday's contest, Washington should be expected to run more routes and potentially earn some targets from quarterback Kenny […]

Four weeks of NFL football are in the books, meaning a few key fantasy studs are eligible to return from Injured Reserve and the PUP list.  Our injury updates and reports for Week 5 as of Friday, October 6, 2023, will give you the latest updates on key guys around the league. As always, some […]

Calvin Austin III A Deep-League Dart-Throw In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III saw the field for 90 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 4 and should stay involved in a Week 5 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Austin, who broke free for a 72-yard touchdown in Week 3, has demonstrated his explosiveness and big-play potential but has not […]

Justin Tucker Should See More Attempts In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker hasn't been as great of a fantasy option as he normally has been in recent seasons through four weeks. He has posted one double-digit fantasy performance and didn't see a single field goal attempt last week despite making four extra points. In a divisional rivalry matchup against the Steelers, however, […]

Alexander Mattison An RB2 Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to keep his strong stretch of play going into Week 5, as the Boise State product has rushed for 90+ yards in back-to-back games. Mattison has continued to handle the bulk of the backfield touches since Cam Akers arrived from the Rams, so fantasy managers can continue […]

George Pickens Looks To Bounce Back In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had a quiet showing in Week 4 and will be hoping to get back on track in a home divisional matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore's defense has been stout to open the 2023 campaign, but it has surrendered a fair amount of production to fantasy wideouts. With Diontae […]

Calvin Ridley Projects As A Risky WR2 In Matchup Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley heads into a Week 5 matchup against Buffalo this Sunday. The 28-year-old has been trending downward after a monster Week 1 that saw him finish as the WR6 in PPR scoring. Since then, he has not broken into the top 30 of his position, even with the touchdown last […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Added To Injury Report, Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Friday after practicing in a limited capacity. He is officially listed as questionable for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers. It remains to be seen whether Gibbs' injury is minor or if he suffered an ailment of greater severity on Friday. […]

Christian Kirk A Reliable But Low-End WR2 Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk heads to London to take on a tough Bills pass defense in Week 5. The train keeps on rolling for Kirk, who now has three top-26 WR PPR finishes in as many weeks. His dud performance in Week 1 seems to be a complete afterthought now, as he and […]

Jameson Williams, Josh Reynolds Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (non-injury) and Josh Reynolds (groin) are both listed as questionable for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers despite practicing in a full capacity. Williams is returning from a suspension, so while he's not injured, it appears the Lions aren't ready to remove him from the injury report until he […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Has RB1 Status Against Soft Bills Run Defense

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. heads into a Week 5 contest against the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. As good as the Bills have been on defense this year, they have given up the highest YPC in the entire league through 4 weeks (6.3, which is significantly higher than the second-worst team […]

The Ravens Defense A Top Option Against Steelers

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams comes into Week 5 as a great streaming option if they're not already rostered. They've produced double-digit fantasy weeks in two out of their four games so far and even when the opposing team has been able to score, the defense still puts up a respectable fantasy performance. Their games […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option Versus Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to keep his strong production through four weeks going against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Week 5. Cousins has averaged 303 passing yards per game and has thrown 11 touchdown passes through four games to start the season, putting him firmly in the QB1 discussion on a […]

Jaylen Warren Has Flex Appeal In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is currently the fantasy RB29 and should continue to provide value in a Week 5 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Although Najee Harris (hamstring) is fully expected to suit up on Sunday, Warren could be in line for an expanded role should Harris be limited in any capacity. The […]

Trevor Lawrence Not A QB1 Vs. Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence faces a tough test in Week 5, taking on the vaunted Bills defense in London. It's the second straight game across the pond for the Jaguars, having defeated Atlanta 23-7 a week prior. While the Jags were able to easily dispatch the Falcons, Lawrence still had another underwhelming game, making […]

Derek Carr Questionable For Week 5, Expected To Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 5. However, Saints insider Mike Triplett reports that Carr "seems almost certain to play" after practicing in a limited capacity. It's also worth noting that the veteran quarterback was a game-time decision last week and managed to play. At this rate, […]

Juwan Johnson Not Playing In Week 5

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) has officially been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the New England Patriots. This comes as no surprise after Johnson missed all three practices this week. Foster Moreau (ankle) and Jimmy Graham will operate as the Saints' top tight ends for the duration of Johnson's absence, […]

Najee Harris Limited In Practice On Friday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (hamstring) was added to the team's injury report on Friday following a limited practice session. Harris does not currently carry a game status and should be good to go for a Week 5 divisional bout with the Baltimore Ravens. Although Harris is yet to find the end zone this […]

Jonathan Taylor Questionable To Play In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was a full participant in practice this week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. Taylor is still on the PUP list, but if he's activated, that will be a very strong indication that the team expects him to play. Tennessee has a solid […]

Zay Flowers Has WR2 Potential In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has seen a great target share, especially as a rookie pass-catcher. This remains true even when Mark Andrews returned after missing the first game of the season. Currently, the Steelers give up an average of 46.8 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in PPR formats. The only […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Questionable For Week 5

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He was limited in practice all week long. The fact that Stevenson was able to practice in some capacity is great news, though we might not get official clarification on his status until Sunday morning. Given […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Considered Doubtful Against Carolina

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) is officially listed as doubtful for the team's Week 5 contest against the Carolina Panthers. The star wideout wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week and now seems as though he'll have to miss at least one game. With Josh Reynolds (groin) and Jameson Williams […]

Irv Smith Jr. Avoids Injury Designation

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. is no longer on the injury report heading into the Week 5 matchup against the Cardinals. In the two games that he's played so far this season, Smith has yet to get more than 17 yards and has only hauled in five passes out of nine targets. On […]

Tee Higgins Listed As Questionable Against Arizona

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ribs) received a questionable designation heading into Week 5 after registering a limited practice on Friday. A lot of the initial reports talked about Higgins missing multiple weeks, but it seems like his recovery is going faster than expected so far. Managers should have a plan in place to […]

Randy Gregory Traded To The 49ers

The Denver Broncos have traded linebacker Randy Gregory and a 2024 seventh-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2024 sixth-round pick. Originally, the veteran was going to be released, but they never formally did it when it was announced a couple of days ago. Instead, they trade up from the seventh round to […]

Mark Andrews Draws A Tough Matchup In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews returned to the top of the position last week with a 25-point outburst against the Browns. Now, he shifts his attention to a different division rival in the Pittsburgh Steelers who have only allowed an average of 7.0 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends which is the […]
