Olamide Zaccheaus Offers Little Value Against Tampa Bay

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has played well for the team this season, catching 100% of his targets. However, the former undrafted free-agent receiver has only 10 targets this year, seeing more than two in a game only once, back in Week 1. Furthermore, he has scored 6.5 or fewer half-point PPR fantasy points […]

Drake London A Solid WR2 Option

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London played well over the first three games of his NFL career, averaging 14.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per contest. Unfortunately, the rookie struggled against the Cleveland Browns last week, catching two of his seven targets and scoring only 2.7 fantasy points. With Kyle Pitts (hamstring) out for Sunday's matchup […]

Brad Hand Good To Go For Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies left-handed reliever Brad Hand (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list and is on the team's roster for the National League Wild-Card Series against the St. Louis Cardinals this weekend. Hand was put on the injured list on Sept. 22 with left elbow tendinitis, but he's recovered and will be available out […]

Caleb Huntley Faces Tough Matchup In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley had a surprise performance in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. The young running back had only one rushing attempt for three yards before last week's contest. Yet, he ended the game with 56 rushing yards and a touchdown while scoring 11.6 half-point PPR fantasy points. With Cordarrelle Patterson […]

Tyler Allgeier A Possible Flex Option Against Tampa Bay

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier will take over as the starter this week after the team placed Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) on injured reserve on Monday. Last week the former BYU star running back averaged 8.4 yards per rushing attempt against the Cleveland Browns. While he played well last week, the matchup on Sunday is […]

Marcus Mariota A Risky Start Against The Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota started the year strong, scoring 19.8 fantasy points in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints. However, the veteran quarterback has averaged only 11 fantasy points per game since then, scoring under 15.6 fantasy points in every contest. Furthermore, the former Oregon Duck has six turnovers compared to only three […]

Treylon Burks Ruled Out For Week 5

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks (toe) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Washington Commanders. Burks suffered a turf toe injury in the win against the Colts and was trending toward being out after missing practice all week. In his absence, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips could see more targets, but […]

Starling Marte Included On Wild-Card Roster

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (finger) is on the team's Wild-Card Series roster against the San Diego Padres this weekend. The Mets have also included rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez and outfielder/first baseman Darin Ruf (neck), while third baseman Mark Vientos was left off the roster. The 33-year-old Marte has been out for a month […]

Randy Bullock Could Have Nice Day In Week 5

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock hasn't been a fantasy stud so far this season, but a matchup with the Washington Commanders could mean scoring opportunities for the veteran field-goal man. Points against statistics aren't all that significant when it comes to kickers, but Washington has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to the position. Tennessee's offense […]

Mike Clevinger Not On Wild-Card Roster

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (illness) was left off the team's roster for the Wild-Card Series this weekend against the New York Mets. Clevinger was placed on the injured list earlier this week with a non-COVID-related illness, but he should be available to return to San Diego's starting rotation if they advance to […]

Titans Defense A Decent Streamer In Week 5

The Tennessee Titans defense/special teams is not a top-tier unit in fantasy football, but since the Washington Commanders have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to fantasy defenses, they are in consideration for Week 5. Ultimately, Carson Wentz and the Commanders' offense will likely put up plenty of yards and points, but Tennessee could capitalize […]

Danny Jansen Serving As DH In Game 1

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen will serve as the designated hitter and will bat eighth on Friday in Game 1 of the American League Wild-Card Series against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo. Jansen has some pop in his bat for a catcher, as he slugged a career-high 15 home runs in 72 […]

Kyle Philips A Deep-League PPR Option

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips has been quiet after leading the team in targets in the season opener against the New York Giants, but if Treylon Burks (turf toe) is out in Week 5, he's a decent flex option in deep leagues. Tennessee faces the Washington Commanders, who have given up the third-most fantasy […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Not On Wild-Card Roster

The Toronto Blue Jays left outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) off their roster for the Wild-Card Series against the Seattle Mariners this weekend. Gurriel isn't healthy enough to play in the first round of the playoffs for the Jays. In Gurriel's place, the team decided to carry an extra catcher in Gabriel Moreno. It remains […]

Romeo Doubs A Risky Flex Option In Week 5

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will travel to London Sunday to face the New York Giants. The rookie receiver has been targeted eight times in each of the past two weeks while also finding the end zone each game. However, his target share could fall as fellow rookie Christina Watson's (hamstring) snap percentage […]

Julio Rodriguez Hitting Leadoff In First Playoff Game

Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez is starting in center field and is hitting leadoff in his first career postseason game on Friday in Game 1 of the American League Wild-Card Series against the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Alek Manoah. Rodriguez is a big reason why Seattle is back in the postseason in 2022, […]

Allen Lazard A Flex Option In Tough Week 5 Matchup

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) will face the New York Giants in London Sunday. The 26-year-old was removed from the team's injury report Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday. Lazard has seen his snap percentage rise each of the past three weeks as he has worked his way back from […]

Albert Pujols In The Two-Hole Against Phillies

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second in Game 1 of the National League Wild-Card Series on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler. Pujols has had a resurgent season with the Cardinals in what is expected to be his final major-league season. […]

Bryce Harper Hitting Cleanup In Game 1 Against Lefty

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup in Game 1 of the National League Wild-Card Series on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals and left-hander Jose Quintana. Against southpaws in 2022, Harper hit .256/.348/.427 with only three of his 18 home runs while driving in 17 runs […]

Chiefs Defense A Risky Play In Week 5

The Kansas City Chiefs defense faces a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, who rank 10th in the NFL in points per game. The Chiefs, meanwhile, rank 20th in scoring defense. This game projects to be a shootout, so the Chiefs defense should probably be off the fantasy radar in season-long […]

Jonathan Taylor Could Return In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) doesn't seem to be dealing with a major injury, as head coach Frank Reich said the team is optimistic about his chances to play in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taylor has struggled mightily in his last two games, but even in what is one of the […]

AJ Dillon On The RB2/Flex Borderline For Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will travel to London to face the New York Giants Sunday. The 24-year-old has had a disappointing three-week stretch for fantasy purposes, finishing outside the top 30 each week in Half-PPR scoring formats. Dillon has led the Packers in carries so far this season but has averaged just […]

Aaron Jones An RB1 In London Matchup

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the New York Giants in London Sunday. The 27-year-old had his second 100-plus-yard game of the season last week against the New England Patriots but added only five yards through the air on three receptions. The matchup against the Giants is a good one, as New […]

Aaron Rodgers A Fringe QB1 In Week 5

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will face the New York Giants in London Sunday. The reigning MVP has thrown two touchdowns in each of the last three games but has yet to finish as a top-12 fantasy option in any of the first four weeks. The 38-year-old's wide receiver corps is as healthy as […]

Garrett Bolles, Ronald Darby Done For The Season

Denver Broncos left tackle Garrett Bolles (leg) and cornerback Ronald Darby (knee) are out for the remainder of the season after suffering major injuries in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football. While these players don't directly affect fantasy managers, losing Bolles on the offensive line could hurt the outlooks of quarterback […]

Eagles Defense A Solid Fantasy Option For Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles defense will travel on the road to face the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. Philadelphia has been on a roll since giving up 35 points to Detroit in Week 1, allowing just 28 total points, forcing six fumbles, recovering five, tallying four interceptions, and recording 15 sacks over the last three weeks. The matchup […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Remains Risky

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling finally got going down the field last week as he caught three passes for 63 yards, but overall, the former Packers wideout has struggled to get going in his new digs. He's finished with under 50 receiving yards three times through the first four games. Valdes-Scantling will likely […]

Dallas Goedert A Must-Start In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals Sunday. The 27-year-old has not been the most explosive fantasy option through the first four weeks of the season, but he has been one of the most consistent. This week could be one of his best fantasy performances of the season, […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Could See More Targets In Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has been quiet thus far this season, but with Treylon Burks (turf toe) unlikely to play, he should be Ryan Tannehill's No. 2 WR against the Washington Commanders. The Commanders have given up the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers through four weeks, so he could be in line […]

DeVonta Smith A Solid Flex Option For Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will go on the road to face the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. The 23-year-old was targeted just four times last week, but both teams passing attacks were hampered by the torrential downpour that lasted throughout the contest. Smith will face a Cardinals defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points […]
