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 […]

Darren Waller Looks To Break Slump In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller will look to get back on track in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran tight end is coming off back-to-back games where he has failed to reach 25 yards receiving. While that is bad, it is fair to attribute that to some bad luck. It's […]

Jamaal Williams Has RB2 Floor In Week 5

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams will once again be the workhorse back against the New England Patriots with D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) out of action. The Patriots are the sixth-toughest defense against fantasy running backs through four weeks, but Williams' workload gives him an RB2 floor. With a ton of Lions' pass-catchers banged up, […]

Chase Claypool Not A Recommended Option In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool failed to catch either of his targets in a Week 4 loss to the New York Jets. Claypool is off to an extremely slow start this season, having caught just 11 passes for 79 scoreless yards while adding 47 rushing yards on seven carries. In addition to his poor […]

Davante Adams A Top Option In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams will look to stay hot against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5 coming off of his second 100-yard game of the season. The game script in this primetime matchup will favor the passing game for the Raiders. Adams should remain the focal point after racking up 13 […]

Kalif Raymond, Tom Kennedy Could See Increased Roles

Detroit Lions wide receivers Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy could be significant pieces of the offense if Josh Reynolds (ankle) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) are ruled out before the game against the New England Patriots. Raymond and Kennedy combined for six receptions for 92 yards against the Seattle Seahawks in the absence of D.J. […]

George Pickens A Flex Option In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had a breakout performance in a loss to the New York Jets in Week 4, catching six passes for 102 yards. Pickens will look to build upon that encouraging performance in a Week 5 showdown against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills represent a tough matchup for Pickens as their […]

Derek Carr Looks To Bounce Back In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will look to put together a bounce-back performance in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Carr had his worst game of the season in Week 4, failing to throw a touchdown for the first time. While he has struggled at Arrowhead Stadium in his career, he has never […]

T.J. Hockenson In Line For Big Week 5

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson exploded for 179 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks and could see another strong performance in a matchup with the New England Patriots. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds are both questionable with ankle injuries, so Hockenson could be Jared Goff's primary read. New […]
