Dak Prescott Ruled Out For Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams. Prescott's injured thumb still isn't strong enough to grip a football, so he'll miss his fourth straight game. However, barring any setbacks, there's a good chance that the 29-year-old will return to start in the Week […]

Chargers Defense Is A Mediocre Play In Week 5

The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams has been on and off for fantasy so far this season. In Week 5, Los Angeles will face a relatively difficult opponent in the Cleveland Browns, who are scoring over 26 points per game. Without Joey Bosa (groin), the Chargers' defense is less appealing, but still finished as a […]

Zach Wilson Good To Go In Week 5

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (ankle) practiced in full each of the last two days and has been cleared to play in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. Wilson was removed from the final injury report on Friday. Also, all signs are pointing towards left tackle Duane Brown (shoulder) coming off Injured Reserve to […]

Breece Hall Cleared For Sunday's Game

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall (knee) put in a full practice on Friday and was removed from the final injury report. He will play in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins after getting in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Michael Carter will remain involved next to Hall in New York's backfield, […]

Mac Jones Officially Listed As Doubtful

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) is officially doubtful to play against the Detroit Lions in Week 5 after suffering a severe high-ankle sprain in Week 3. Jones has been practicing with the team on a limited basis, but he's not ready to return as the starter under center and may not be ready […]

Dustin Hopkins Questionable For Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quad) was a limited practice participant all week and is officially questionable to suit up in a Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Hopkins has not been overly productive so far this season and fantasy players should feel comfortable dropping him assuming there is a solid, healthy kicker […]

Tony Pollard Questionable With Illness

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (illness) missed practice on Friday and is now listed as questionable to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. It's bad news for anyone that was considering starting Pollard this Sunday against LA. He'll become a much riskier flex play with the Cowboys game not starting until […]

Rondale Moore Given Questionable Tag In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable to play in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Moore will be a game-time decision, and on the later slate of games on Sunday, he'll become an even harder-to-trust flex play in deeper fantasy leagues. […]

Gerald Everett Will Suit Up In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (hamstring) popped up on the injury report on Thursday after logging a limited practice session, but was able to practice in full on Friday and has been cleared to play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. Everett is currently the fantasy TE6 in PPR scoring and should […]

Marquise Brown, A.J. Green Will Play Against Eagles

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marquise Brown (foot) and A.J. Green (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and were taken off the final injury report. They will both be active in Week 5 against the 4-0 undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. Brown will remain Arizona's No. 1 wideout, but he draws a tough matchup against Eagles shutdown […]

Kiefer Sherwood Impresses On Second Line

Nashville Predators right wing Kiefer Sherwood put in an impressive performance in Friday's season opener against San Jose, grabbing a goal and assist in a 4-1 win. He opened the scoring with just a minute played and helped Nino Niederreiter to score in his Nashville debut late in the second period. Sherwood skated on the […]

Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle Questionable For Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) and Jaylen Waddle (groin) are both listed as questionable to play in Week 5 against the New York Jets. NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that head coach Mike McDaniel is very hopeful that Hill will play on Sunday. The Dolphins will manage Hill's quad injury after he popped […]

MacKenzie Weegar Agrees To Eight-Year Deal With Flames

Calgary Flames defenseman MacKenzie Weegar has agreed to an eight-year extension with the club. He earned himself a $50 million deal and will start to carry a $6.25 million cap hit from next season. Weegar, who was part of the Jonathan Huberdeau trade in the summer, had a career year with 44 points last season […]

Keenan Allen Ruled Out For Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and has now been declared out ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The five-time Pro-Bowler was seemingly nearing a return in Week 4, but suffered a setback late last week and will now miss his fourth […]

Tyler Myers Ruled Out For Two To Four Weeks

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers will miss two to four weeks with a lower-body injury, head coach Bruce Boudreau announced on Friday. The big blue-liner recorded his third 82-game season in 2021-22 but will unfortunately miss some time right from the off in the new campaign. Myers notched only 18 points last season, but he […]

DeAndre Carter Could Have Expanded Role In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DeAndre Carter has been very quiet over the past two weeks but could bounce back in a Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Even without Keenan Allen (hamstring) on the field for three games, Carter has been outproduced by Mike Williams, Gerald Everett, Joshua Palmer (ankle), and Austin Ekeler […]

Mikhail Sergachev Expected To Be Fine For Season Opener

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Florida but should be available for next week's season opener. The Russian blue-liner left Thursday's preseason action against the Panthers with an undisclosed injury and it put his status for the first regular-season game of the year in doubt, but Lightning […]

Ryan Helsley Leaves Friday's Game With Trainer

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Ryan Helsley (finger) was removed from their game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Helsley was in for a five-out save, but fell apart in the ninth, giving up a hit and walking two before hitting a batter to allow a run. He was then pulled from the game after […]

Joel Farabee Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Flyers forward Joel Farabee (neck) has been fully cleared for contact and looks set to be in the lineup on Oct. 13 when the team opens its season against New Jersey. Farabee had disc-replacement surgery in his cervical region back in June and missed the preseason. The 22-year-old mostly struggled in 2021-22, but he's […]

Josh Bell Hitting Cleanup For Padres In Game 1

San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Josh Bell is in the lineup for Game 1 of their series against the New York Mets. He is the designated hitter and will bat cleanup for the Friars. Bell had been sitting quite a bit down the stretch and dropped down the order when he did play, but […]

Mike Williams Is A Must-Start WR In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams currently leads the team in targets and should continue to be a primary weapon for Justin Herbert in a Week 5 road matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The Browns' defense has held its own so far this season against opposing wideouts, but the opportunity for Williams is too […]

Bailey Zappe Will Start Week 5 Against The Lions

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe will start in Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions. The Patriots placed quarterback Brian Hoyer (concussion) on injured reserve, and starter Mac Jones (ankle) is doubtful to suit up in Week 5. Zappe threw for 99 yards and a touchdown in relief in the Week 4 loss to the […]

Wil Myers In Padres Lineup For Game 1, Brandon Drury Sitting

San Diego Padres outfielder/first baseman Wil Myers is in the starting lineup for Game 1 of their series against the New York Mets and Max Scherzer, playing first base and hitting sixth for the Friars. Myers starting means that trade-deadline acquisition Brandon Drury is on the bench for Game 1. Drury had been playing regularly […]

Mike Hoffman Misses Practice, Considered Day-To-Day

Montreal Canadiens winger Mike Hoffman is dealing with an upper-body injury and missed Friday's practice. The team considers him day-to-day for now. Montreal is set to start the season on Oct. 12 against Toronto. Hoffman has struggled to find consistent form ever since leaving Florida in 2020, but he finished last season with a nice […]

Austin Ekeler Should Continue Success In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler finished as the fantasy RB1 in PPR scoring last week and will look to build upon this performance in a Week 5 bout with the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has allowed the 10th-most PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2022, so this is a great matchup for […]

John Tavares Returns To Practice

Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares (oblique) returned to practice on Friday, giving fantasy managers hope that he could be ready for the team's season opener on Oct. 12. At the start of last week, the Maple Leafs captain was ruled out for at least three weeks, but it appears that he's recovering from an […]

Justin Herbert Remains A QB1 For Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is currently the QB7 in fantasy and should continue to produce in a Week 5 road matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The Browns' defense has been decent against opposing quarterbacks this season but has not yet faced a signal caller of Herbert's caliber. The Chargers will be without Keenan […]

Steelers Defense Draws Tough Matchup In Week 5

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense will have their hands full in a Week 5 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been a brutal matchup for fantasy defenses in 2022, allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position through four games. Pittsburgh is installed as 14-point underdogs in a game with an […]

Chris Boswell A Low-End Option In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will head on the road to face off against a tough Buffalo Bills defense in Week 5. Boswell has been accurate in 2022, having hit eight of his 10 field goals and all six of his extra points. The Bills have been stingy to opposing kickers in 2022, allowing the […]

Pat Freiermuth A TE1 In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth will go on the road to take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. Freiermuth is off to a nice start in 2022, having caught 18 of his 30 targets for 223 yards and a touchdown through four games. His matchup against Buffalo is a tough one as the […]
