Jahan Dotson Ruled Out Against Titans

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. Hopefully Dotson will end up missing just one game, but he'll likely be at least questionable for Week 6 on a quick turnaround next Thursday night. With Dotson out, Dyami Brown and Cam Sims will be […]

Cameron Brate Ruled Out For Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (concussion), safety Logan Ryan (foot) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (foot) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Brate was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol this week and will miss his first game of the season this weekend. Rookie fourth-rounder Cade Otton […]

Garrett Bolles Could Be Done For The Year

Denver Broncos left tackle Garrett Bolles (leg) suffered a broken right leg in the Thursday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, according to a source. Bolles will undergo more tests to determine the severity, but his best case is a return in roughly six weeks. The 30-year-old had several bodies roll up […]

Zach Ertz A Solid TE1 In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz will look to build on a strong performance in Week 4, after catching all six of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. Ertz has been one of Kyler Murray's favorite targets, making him a must-start option on a weekly basis. The veteran will take on his former […]

Kwity Paye Believed To Have High-Ankle Sprain

Indianapolis Colts defensive end Kwity Paye (ankle), who was carted off the field during Thursday night's overtime win over the Denver Broncos, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain based on his initial evaluation, according to a source. He'll have an MRI exam on Friday to confirm the initial diagnosis. Paye could be out […]

James Conner A Low-End RB2 In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner draws a tough matchup in Week 5 against a very good Eagles defense, who have allowed the eighth-fewest rushing yards this season. Conner has been very inefficient this season with just 3.2 yards per carry, which makes him extremely touchdown-dependent for fantasy production. Given his draft price and workload […]

Zay Jones Ready To Return In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (ankle) is ready to play in Week 5 against the Houston Texans after he sat out of last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It's bad news for anyone that picked up and was planning to stream Jamal Agnew, who had two touchdowns in Week 4. Jones is coming […]

Kyler Murray Draws Tough Matchup In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray draws a tough matchup in Week 5 against a very strong Eagles defense, who have given up the sixth-fewest passing yards this season. Despite the Cardinals' offensive struggles, Murray finds himself as the overall QB6 through four games this season, making him a borderline must-start option despite the rough matchup. […]

Raiders Signing Albert Wilson

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver Albert Wilson to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to sources. Wilson played in 14 games (five starts) for the Miami Dolphins last year, catching 25 passes on 39 targets for 213 yards and no touchdowns. He'll simply be providing veteran depth at the position […]

Greg Joseph A Starting Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph has the look of a solid starting option in Week 5 after making all five of his field goal attempts in Week 4 to give the Vikings the win. Joseph has been reliable when he has been called upon, making 8-of-10 field goals and 8-of-9 extra points. In a game […]

Wan'Dale Robinson, Kenny Golladay Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and Kenny Golladay (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers in London. Robinson hasn't played since making his NFL debut in the season opener, and the Giants will also be without Kadarius Toney, who is now dealing with injuries to […]

Vikings Defense A Solid Option In Week 5

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is a solid starting option in Week 5 as they take on a struggling Bears offense. The passing attack for the Bears has been almost non-existent, so there could be limited opportunity to force turnovers with such limited passing volume. However, the Bears offensive line has struggled tremendously so far […]

Daniel Jones Will Play Against Packers

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) was taken off the final injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday in London against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. Most of Jones' QB2 value in fantasy comes from his rushing ability -- he scored two touchdowns with his legs in the Week 4 […]

Irv Smith Jr. A TE2 Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. is a TE2 option in Week 5 against the Bears despite some pretty solid target volume the past three weeks. Smith Jr. has seen a combined 18 targets over the last three games but has turned it into just 10 receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown. Considering […]

Jamison Crowder Headed To Injured Reserve

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) is expected to be put on Injured Reserve, which means he'll have to miss at least the next four games after suffering a broken ankle in the Week 4 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Crowder's absence will mean more work for slot man Isaiah McKenzie (concussion), although his […]

J.D. McKissic Could Have Decent Receiving Floor In Week 5

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic could be providing his usual solid receiving floor in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. The 29-year-old has averaged 4.75 receptions per game and he might have an opportunity to provide some more work in that department as the Titans rank in the bottom half of the league in […]

Antonio Gibson May See Diminished Role In Week 5

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson appears to be at the end of the road as the unquestioned lead back in this offense. With rookie running back Brian Robinson being out for the first four weeks, the 24-year-old has been able to handle the majority of the usage out of the backfield. But now that […]

Logan Thomas Could See Larger Role In Week 5

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas could be seeing more work than usual in Week 5. The ninth-year veteran has been working himself back to pre-injury form after recovering from ACL surgery in the offseason. In this upcoming matchup against the Tennessee Titans, managers might be able to see how far he's truly come. Commanders […]

Adam Thielen A Solid Flex Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has some solid fantasy appeal in Week 5 after two straight solid performances where he saw a combined 17 targets. He figures to be second in line for targets behind Justin Jefferson, but he has been able to produce solid numbers the past couple of weeks regardless of this. […]

Terry McLaurin Facing Opportunistic Matchup In Week 5

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, along with the rest of the team, had a disappointing outing last week. Going up against a tough Dallas Cowboys defense, the 27-year-old was locked down as he finished with only two receptions for 15 yards. This week against the Tennessee Titans, he'll probably see some improvement. The Titans […]

Carson Wentz Looks Poised To Improve On Poor Performances

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz has been looking rough. After a couple of tough outings where he floundered against two top-10 defenses, the 29-year-old could be in line to take advantage of a more favorable matchup. In Week 5, the Commanders will be taking on the Tennessee Titans, a team that possesses a bottom-five pass […]

Kyle Pitts Ruled Out For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) didn't practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers will obviously need to remove him from their starting lineups this weekend. With Pitts out, Parker Hesse and Anthony Firkser will battle for playing time at the position, […]

Justin Jefferson A High-End WR1 In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to build on a season-high 10 receptions on 13 targets in Week 4. The 23-year-old will face a Bears' defense that could potentially be without stud cornerback Jaylon Johnson, so he could be in for another massive performance against a weak Bears defense. Jefferson could be seeing […]

Dalvin Cook Draws Great Matchup In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook draws a great matchup in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears, who have given up a league-high 733 rushing yards (5.1 ypc) through four games. Cook has found the end zone just one time this season but is getting elite usage in the Vikings backfield. The 27-year-old should be […]

Kirk Cousins A Potential QB1 Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to bounce back in Week 5 after some poor fantasy output in Week 4. Cousins will take on a Bears' defense that has allowed just 674 passing yards, albeit against some poor passing attacks in three out of four of those games. The matchup isn't worrisome for the […]

Texans Defense A Risky Week 5 Play

The Houston Texans defense has allowed the 17th-most points per game in the NFL this season at 23.3 and now faces a Jaguars team in Week 5 that is scoring 26.3 points per game, the sixth-best mark in the league. The team has been gashed on the ground, allowing the second-most rushing yards per game. […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn A Risky Week 5 Play

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has connected on 88.9% of his field goal attempts so far this season, including going 5-for-6 from 40-plus yards. This week, Fairbairn takes on a Jaguars team that's allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to kickers. The defense has done a good job keeping opposing teams away from field […]

O.J. Howard Has Little Appeal In Week 5

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard was targeted a season-high five times last week against the Chargers, but he brought in just two of those for 27 yards. After catching two touchdowns in the opener against the Colts, Howard has just three receptions since. With Jordan Akins taking targets away from him, Howard's role is […]

Nico Collins Faces Tough Week 5 Matchup

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has had some solid moments this season, but his low volume and a tough matchup against the Jaguars this week makes him a difficult player to trust in fantasy. Collins had 82 yards last week, but it came on just three catches. His season high in receptions is four. […]

Brandin Cooks Has WR3 Appeal In Week 5

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks remains the No. 1 target for quarterback Davis Mills, but the gap in targets between him and the other players is shrinking. After seeing 12 targets in Week 1, his numbers have dipped, and the last two weeks have seen Cooks get seven targets per contest. He found the […]
