Christian Walker Licking His Lips For NLDS Game 1 Matchup

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker has to be salivating at the matchup that awaits him for Game 1 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Few, if any, hitters have enjoyed more success than Walker against the future Hall of Famer. The 32-year-old has made 36 career trips to […]

Luke Musgrave Clears Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (concussion) has cleared the league concussion protocol ahead of their Week 5 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie had been practicing with the team since Tuesday but needed the clearance to be able to play on Monday night. Musgrave suffered the concussion in the third quarter […]

Brandon Belt Undecided On Playing Future

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Belt, now a free agent following the Blue Jays' elimination from the postseason on Wednesday, is undecided on whether he will continue his playing career in 2024. Belt said he will talk with his family before making any final decisions on his future. The veteran signed a one-year […]

Nick Folk Has Streaming Value In Week 5

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all 10 of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point attempts through four games this season. The veteran looks confident from any distance, making him an intriguing Week 5 streaming option. The 38-year-old ranks sixth in total fantasy points (43) at the position after finishing last […]

Davante Adams Not Practicing Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) will not practice on Thursday, as the team begins preparing for their Monday night game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. Adams injured his shoulder in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. In the first half of the game, the 30-year-old receiver was hurt […]

Spencer Strider Aiming To Remain Dominant Versus Phillies in NLDS

Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider will look to keep up his dominance over the Philadelphia Phillies when the two NL East rivals meet in the NLDS beginning Saturday in Atlanta. Strider made four starts versus the Phils this season, combining to toss 26 innings of seven-run ball (2.42 ERA) while striking out a hefty 38 […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo Remains Off Fantasy Radar

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has hauled in just 10 passes on 13 targets for 73 yards this season. Needless to say, that isn't fantasy-viable production over a four-game stretch, so he should not be trusted in fantasy lineups until further notice. The second-year tight end failed to deliver last week in the absence […]

DeAndre Hopkins Has WR2 Upside In Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't gotten out to a prolific start in 2023, but he leads the team in targets (31), receptions (18), and receiving yards (216). Last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, he was inches away from scoring touchdowns on two separate occasions, so hopefully, a boom week is coming soon. It […]

Lance Lynn Activated From Bereavement List

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Lance Lynn has been activated from the bereavement list prior to the club's NLDS matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Lynn was placed on the bereavement list on Saturday but will be well-rested for the NLDS considering he last started on Sept. 29 against the Giants, allowing two earned runs over six […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Practicing In Full On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) is practicing in full on Thursday despite still being in the concussion protocol. Head coach Josh McDaniel had previously said that Garoppolo would remain the starting quarterback once healthy. The 31-year-old suffered a concussion in the Raiders' Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The head injury kept […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine A Deep-League Flex Option

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has hauled in 12 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns this season. The 26-year-old is far from a fantasy superstar, but if Treylon Burks (knee) misses the Week 5 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, he could be worth starting in deep formats. The Colts have allowed the ninth-most […]

Derrick Henry In For Another Big Day Against Colts

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has rushed for at least 103 yards in six of his last seven games against the AFC South-rival Indianapolis Colts. He has scored five touchdowns in those seven games and has the chance for another big game against its defense in Week 5. The Colts have allowed the 13th-most […]

Joe Burrow Practices On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) practiced in full pads on Thursday, as the team prepares for their Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Since injuring his calf in the preseason, Burrow's mobility has been limited and he has not produced at the same level as past seasons. Through the first four weeks of […]

CFB DFS Rankings - Daily Fantasy College Football Rankings for Week 6 (Saturday 10/7))

Now that we are into October, the College Football season is in full swing and into conference play. There should be a few nice games to target this week, but also a few we can simply cross off. The Texas and Oklahoma game stands out as the best one of the slate, but keep an […]

Ryan Tannehill A Low-Floor Steamer Against Colts

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrown for 788 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions in 2023. He's added 28 yards and a touchdown as a runner. His stats are far from impressive, but Tennessee's offense came alive in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals, so hopefully, brighter days are ahead of the 35-year-old signal-caller. […]

Cowboys Defense Looking For Another Top-Five Performance

The Dallas Cowboys defense has been one of the best defensive units in both the NFL and fantasy football so far this season. They have finished as a top three fantasy defense in all but one game this season (DST1 in Week 1, DST3 in Week 2, DST2 in Week 4). While they did have […]

Brandon Aubrey A Safe Bet In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is a safe bet at a very unpredictable fantasy position for Week 5. The Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers, which should prove to be a defensive battle where both teams could rely more on field goals than touchdowns. Aubrey has made all 13 of his field goal tries […]

Lions Defense A Strong Streamer Against Panthers

The Detroit Lions defense has exceeded expectations so far this year. Dan Campbell's stop unit is 13th in points per game allowed (20.8), seventh in sacks (13), and first in rushing yards allowed per game (60.8). In Week 5, the Lions matchup with the Carolina Panthers, who have scored just 16.8 points per game (ninth-fewest) […]

Jake Ferguson A Solid Play In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is a solid play at his position in a Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Ferguson hasn't done much in terms of catch-and-run, but he's done plenty of catch and that's helped fantasy managers in PPR and TE-bonus leagues plenty. He's been a top-13 fantasy tight end […]

Michael Gallup Not Worth A Start In Week 5 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup isn't worth starting in most fantasy formats in Week 5. Gallup has a tough matchup against a powerful San Francisco defense, and he's only seen a 12% target share so far this season. The Cowboys offense is a slow-moving, run-first approach, not leaving much for any pass catchers behind […]

Riley Patterson Not Worth Starting In Week 5

Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson is set to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, and although the Lions are expected to put up plenty of points in this contest, the 24-year-old is not on the fantasy radar. Patterson has scored just 28 fantasy points this season (23rd), and Detroit has attempted fourth down conversions […]

CeeDee Lamb Could Do Well Despite A Tough Matchup In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could do well in Week 5 despite a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Lamb is the overall WR16 in fantasy, as he's put up 51 points through four weeks in standard scoring. Week 4 featured his first touchdown, so he's been able to put up fantasy points […]

Jameson Williams A Shaky Flex Option In Season Debut

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is set to return from a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy in Week 5. Williams was originally suspended for six weeks, but the league changed its policy and reduced his suspension to four games. He'll face the struggling Carolina Panthers defense on Sunday, but his floor is […]

Tony Pollard Could Bounce Back In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard could bounce back in Week 5 despite a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Pollard put up just eight fantasy points in Week 4, finishing as the overall RB27, by far his lowest finish of the season. He's still the fantasy RB10 but things look even better as […]

Sam LaPorta Has TE1 Outlook In Week 5

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta leads all tight ends in receiving yards (242) this season, so he's a must-start fantasy option against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. Although Carolina has surrendered the eighth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends through four weeks, the rookie from Iowa has proven he has upside in all matchups. […]

Jonathan Taylor Physically Ready To Play

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) said he is physically ready to play after missing the first four games of the season while on the Physically Unable to Perform list. "It feels really good to be healthy. The main goal was to be healthy and play football," Taylor said in his first public comments […]

Dak Prescott Set To Manage Another Game In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been good enough on the field to lead the Cowboys to a 3-1 record, but he hasn't been much of a fantasy option so far. Prescott is the overall QB24 and hasn't been better than QB17 in any game this season. He's mostly game managing while the Dallas defense […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Has Low Floor Against Panthers

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs saw workhorse usage against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, but that was in the absence of David Montgomery (thigh). Montgomery returned in Week 4 and immediately took over the backfield, rushing 32 times for 121 yards and three touchdowns. Gibbs handled just 12 touches for 51 yards. The […]

David Montgomery A Must-Start In Week 5

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery returned to action from a thigh injury in Week 4 and rushed 32 times for 121 yards and three touchdowns. He won matchups for fantasy managers and is set to face a struggling Carolina Panthers' defense in Week 5. Carolina has surrendered the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs […]

Saquon Barkley To Be Limited Again Thursday

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) will be limited in practice again on Thursday. Barkley was limited in team drills on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2. The 26-year-old continues to make progress, but he could still miss a third […]
