Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film and data for something that happened in the NFL this week. Today, I want to look at a rookie running back for the second week in a row. Last week, it was Houston's Dameon Piece. This week, it's Jets running back […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 6

Just like that, we have seen five weeks of the 2022 season pass by. One team remains undefeated, last year's Super Bowl squads are struggling, a head coach has already been fired, and the Giants are 4-1. Oh, and Geno Smith is a top-seven fantasy quarterback. Just as we all predicted. Your fantasy team has […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We had a pretty solid Week 5, getting six of the top 10 defenses correct including having the top three defenses all finish in the top four on the week. Also, two defenses who finished in the top 10 were ranked inside the top 14, which made them playable in 12-team leagues, so that's a […]

Mason Marchment Scores Twice In Dallas Debut

Dallas Stars winger Mason Marchment posted a pair of goals in his debut with the team, sparking them to a 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators. Marchment, who just signed a four-year deal worth $4.5 million per season, showed instant chemistry with linemate Tyler Seguin, who had the primary assist on both of Marchment's goals. […]

Ron Marinaccio Expected To Be Activated If Yankees Advance

New York Yankees rookie relief pitcher Ron Marinaccio (leg) has thrown from a bullpen mound and will travel to Tampa to begin live batting practice sessions. Marinaccio is expected to be activated from the injured list if the team advances to the American League Championship Series next week. If the Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians […]

Robbie Gould Good To Go For Week 6

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is not on the team's injury report for the Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons, so he'll be starting just a week after suffering a knee contusion. Sam Sloman was brought in just in case, but Gould can be inserted into fantasy lineups in a game in which […]

Frankie Montas Could Be Available In ALCS

New York Yankees right-hander Frankie Montas (shoulder) has thrown twice from bullpen mounds and will travel to Tampa to begin throwing live batting practice. The Yankees view him as an opener/relief option if they advance to the American League Championship Series next week. Montas is dealing with right shoulder inflammation and hasn't pitched since late […]

Dawson Knox To Play In Week 6

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (foot/hamstring) will play against the Kansas City Chiefs after missing last week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Knox hasn't had a boom fantasy performance yet, but it could come in this game that's expected to be a shootout. Fantasy points against statistics should be thrown by the wayside in […]

Ville Husso Gets Opening Night Start

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso will start their season opener Friday against the Montreal Canadiens. It should be noted that Alex Nedeljkovic has been confirmed for the back end of their back-to-back games Saturday against New Jersey. Still, giving Husso the opener likely means he has a leg up in this goalie tandem. Last […]

Vaughn Grissom Getting The Start In Game 3

Atlanta Braves rookie infielder Vaughn Grissom is starting at second base and is hitting eighth in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola on Friday. Orlando Arcia started the first two games of the series at the keystone and was hitless in five at-bats with two […]

George Kittle Projects As Low-End TE1 In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has a solid matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. The Falcons are allowing 278.2 yards through the air per game, fourth-most in the league. They are allowing the fifth-most points to opposing tight ends. Kittle had his best game of the season last week, gaining 47 […]

Philip Broberg Recalled By Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled prospect defenseman Philip Broberg from Bakersfield (AHL). Broberg was expected to start the season with Edmonton, but had to be sent down because of multiple injuries to their forward group that forced the Oilers to call up Devin Shore. In any case, he's here now and is looking to prove […]

Packers Defense Not A Lock For Fantasy Success In Week 6

The Green Bay Packers defense will face the New York Jets in Lambeau this Sunday. The Packers' defense was a letdown for fantasy purposes last week in a plus matchup against a banged-up Giants passing attack, and they do not have as favorable a matchup this week as many may believe. The New York Jets […]

Mason Crosby A Borderline Streaming Option

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 38-year-old has attempted two field goals each of the past two weeks, finishing inside the top 15. The matchup against the Jets offers the veteran kicker little upside, as the team has had only nine field goals […]

Matt Grzelcyk Recovering Well, Upgraded To Day-To-Day

Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) could play next week. The blueliner had offseason surgery on his shoulder and was initially expected to return in early-to-mid November, but his recovery process is going well and the team officially changed his status to day-to-day on Friday. The 28-year-old posted 24 points in 73 games last year, […]

Robert Tonyan A Low-Tier Streaming Option

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. Since being targeted seven times in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 28-year-old has played fewer than 50% of the offensive snaps and totaled six targets over the past two weeks. The matchup against the […]

Romeo Doubs Has Flex Appeal In Week 6

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The rookie had his second-lowest fantasy output of the season last week against the New York Giants, catching three passes for 29 yards. He also recorded his lowest snap percentage since becoming the starter opposite Allen Lazard […]

Gus Edwards Close To Return

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) could make his season debut as soon as Week 7 after being designated to return off of the Physically Unable to Perform list early last week. Edwards should be picked up and stashed in deeper leagues as a committee back for Baltimore. J.K. Dobbins is considered to be […]

Brandon Aiyuk A Possible WR3 In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who plays the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6, has yet to have the breakout some had hoped for since his strong finish to last season. He has finished as a WR4 three times in the first five weeks, which would only be a borderline flex play, and never […]

Allen Lazard A Solid Flex Option In Week 6

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 26-year-old has averaged seven targets over the past three weeks, scoring twice and going over 100 yards once. Lazard is the clear top target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers when attempting to move the chains or find […]

Shane Wright Scratched Thursday

Seattle Kraken center Shane Wright was a healthy scratch on Thursday. The fourth overall pick from this year's draft took a seat Thursday against the Los Angeles King, a game that the Kraken ended up winning 4-1. Even in their season opener Wednesday, Wright played fourth-line minutes and had no powerplay time, amassing just 6:14 […]

AJ Dillon Will Try To Bounce Back In Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 24-year-old saw his lowest touch total of the season by a wide margin last week, recording only six carries. It will likely go down as his lowest total of the season, and he has a plus […]

Aaron Jones A Fringe RB1 In Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 27-year-old recorded his highest snap percentage of the season last week and finished with more carries than teammate AJ Dillon for the first time in 2022. Dillon will finish with more carries than Jones most of […]

Shaquille Leonard, Kwity Paye Out For Week 6

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back, concussion, nose) and defensive end Kwity Paye (ankel) have both been ruled out of the Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts defense was outmatched in the first meeting with Jacksonville, so this could be significant for fantasy football. The outlooks of the Jaguars' offensive players aren't […]

Aaron Rodgers A Solid Fantasy Option In Week 6

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 38-year-old has dealt with a thumb injury in practice this week, but head coach Matt LaFleur said, "we don't have much concern as far as gameday." Rodgers has yet to finish inside the top 12 this […]
