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).

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.

The matchup against the […]

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.

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."

One strategy that's often employed by fantasy basketball drafters is punting, which is essentially ignoring certain categories in a category-based fantasy league in order to bolster your chances at winning other categories.

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 6

Injuries are certainly piling up in the NFL. Not only do we have some key players up in the air but we also have the bye weeks to deal with now. This week, the Lions, Raiders, Titans, and Texans will all be unavailable to our fantasy lineups.  Not only do the bye weeks take away […]

Deebo Samuel A High-Upside WR2 In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has a great matchup in Week 6 against a shaky Atlanta Falcons defense.

They have allowed some breakaway plays to other speedy playmakers similar to Samuel. Samuel made his […]

Kyle Pitts Questionable For Week 6

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is officially questionable for the Week 6 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Pitts missed last week's game against Tampa Bay, so there's a real chance he could miss this game, too. If Pitts is active, it's tough to bench him, even after a slow start to the […]

Jadeveon Clowney, Denzel Ward Ruled Out In Week 6

The Cleveland Browns have ruled out defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (ankle, elbow, knee) and cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) for the Week 6 game against the New England Patriots.

Jimmy Garoppolo Could Be Top-12 QB In Week 6

Giants Optimistic About Wan'Dale Robinson Playing

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll sounded optimistic about rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) returning to play in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens.

However, the […]

Kristaps Porzingis Won't Play Preseason Finale

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) will not play in the team's final preseason game.

With the injury history that […]
