Denver Broncos running back Mike Boone had a pretty solid effort on Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts in the team's Week 5 loss.

Matt Ryan Looks Awful In Thursday's Win Over Denver

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan was coming off one of his better season performances heading into Week 5. Despite that, Ryan looked horrendous during the Week 5 win over the Denver Broncos.

Melvin Gordon III Leads Denver Backfield In Week 5

As expected, Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was the team's lead back in the Thursday night game against the Indianapolis Colts, the first without Javonte Williams (knee), who suffered a season-ending torn ACL and LCL last week. Gordon had a team-high 15 carries for 54 yards (3.6 yards per carry) while adding three […]

James Robinson Positioned For Busy Workload In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson should handle a massive workload in Week 5 against the Houston Texans.

Once the Jaguars were playing from behind against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, Robinson […]

Timeshare or Position Battle? Breaking Down Running Back Committees for Fantasy Football

As the season rolls along, we're starting to get a better idea of how some running back committees have gone. Some of those committees have turned out to not be committees. James Robinson has dominated the Jaguars backfield and left Travis Etienne with a minimal role, for example. And some have been even more committee […]

Russell Wilson Struggles Against Colts

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and the offense looked pretty bad once again in the 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. Wilson went 21-for-39 for 274 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while also running the ball four times for 22 yards. His two interceptions were costly turnovers for the Broncos, […]

Trevor Lawrence A Solid QB2 Option With QB1 Upside In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a fantastic QB2 option with QB1 upside in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. The second-year quarterback struggled in Week 4 versus the Philadelphia Eagles in an ugly weather game in which he threw an interception and fumbled the ball four times. The silver lining for the Clemson product […]

Zack Wheeler Starting Game 1 For Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler has been tabbed as the team's Game 1 starter against the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Wild-Card Series that begins on Friday. He'll be opposed by Cardinals left-hander Jose Quintana. In his final three starts of the regular season, Wheeler allowed just one earned run on nine hits […]

Giants Defense Isn't Worth Consideration In Week 5

The defense of the New York Giants shouldn't be on anyone's radar in Week 5 versus the Green Bay Packers. The Packers may not have Davante Adams catching passes from Aaron Rodgers still, but the All-Pro quarterback is seemingly getting comfortable with his current receiving corps that features Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs, and Christian Watson. […]

Josh Naylor Starting Against Lefty In Game 1

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor is starting at first base and is hitting fifth in the batting order for Game 1 of the American League Wild-Card Series against the Tampa Bay Rays and left-hander Shane McClanahan on Friday. It's an interesting choice for the first game of a three-game series, as Naylor hit just […]

Graham Gano A Solid Option In Week 5 Against Packers

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is a solid option in fantasy entering a Week 5 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The 35-year-old kicker didn't attempt a field goal in Week 1, but he's busier in recent weeks. The veteran kicker has attempted three or more field goals in each of the last three […]

Yandy Diaz Leading Off For Rays In Game 1

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz is starting at third base and is hitting leadoff in Game 1 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Shane Bieber. Diaz dealt with a shoulder injury for just over a week in the final month of the season, but he did […]

Daniel Bellinger Should Be Avoided In Week 5

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger shouldn't be considered in most leagues against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. The Giants are dealing with a plethora of injuries at the wide receiver position, so there could be people who gravitate toward using the rookie tight end in fantasy this week. Despite the lack […]

Kadarius Toney Dealing With Injuries To Both Hamstrings

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is currently dealing with injuries to both hamstrings. According to Giants head coach Brian Daboll, the 23-year-old tweaked his other hamstring during Wednesday's practice. He recovered well from the initial hamstring injury that sidelined him for the last two weeks but tweaked his other hamstring in practice […]

Ashton Dulin Dealing With A Foot Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (foot) suffered a foot injury in Thursday's 12-9 win over the Denver Broncos. He caught one pass for 18 yards before exiting. The 25-year-old is considered day-to-day and will undergo further evaluation of his injured foot. Dulin is the team's WR4 on the depth chart behind Michael Pittman, Alec […]

Saquon Barkley Remains RB1 Option In Week 5

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is primed for an RB1 finish in Week 5 versus the Green Bay Packers. The superstar running back for the Giants is coming off of a performance in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears where he contributed 162 total yards to help New York secure a surprising 3-1 […]

Chase McLaughlin Perfect In Thursday's Win Over Denver

Indianapolis Colts kicker Chase McLaughlin went 4-for-4 in field goal attempts in Thursday's 12-9 overtime win over the Denver Broncos. He was perfect from the field, including drilling two 50-yard-plus field goals on Thursday night. The 26-year-old tallied 12 points and nailed the game-winning field goal from 48 yards in overtime. McLaughlin is now 7-for-8 […]

Deon Jackson Efficient In Thursday's Win Over Denver

Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson rushed 13 times for 62 yards and caught all four targets for 29 yards in Thursday's overtime win over the Denver Broncos. He led the Colts in rushing yards and took on a more prominent role once Nyheim Hines (concussion) suffered a concussion in the first quarter and was […]

Week 5 NFL Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel

Week 4 was fairly strange, as one single game (SEA-DET) produced outsized play volume and points, leading to many players from that game being optimal for DFS lineups. Unfortunately, I faded much of the chalk, so you can guess how my week went in tournaments. Week 5 is shaping up to be an ugly slate, […]

Phillip Lindsay Racks Up 54 Total Yards In Season Debut

Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay rushed 11 times for 40 yards and secured three of four targets for 14 yards in Thursday's 12-9 overtime win over the Denver Broncos. The 28-year-old was promoted from the practice squad when star running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was ruled out for Week 5. He was efficient in […]
