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 […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Has Risk In Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire saw a season-high 19 carries last week against the Buccaneers, but there's some risk with him heading into Monday night's matchup against a Raiders team that has allowed the 10th-fewest rushing yards per game this season. With Isiah Pacheco cutting into his snaps, there's a chance that Edwards-Helaire […]

A.J. Brown A Low-End WR1 For Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will travel to Arizona Sunday to face the Cardinals. The 25-year-old was able to post his second-highest yardage total of the season last week in harsh weather conditions against a solid Jacksonville Jaguars defense. While Arizona has given up the fifth-most passing touchdowns to opposing offenses this season, they […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Has Upside In Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has settled into his role as the No. 1 wide receiver on this Kansas City Chiefs team, with eight targets in three of his four games. He's yet to find the end zone, but Smith-Schuster seems like a high-floor play based on his current usage, as he's finished […]

Robert Woods A Great Flex Play In Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods is coming off of his best fantasy performance as a Titan with four catches for 30 yards and a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts. In Week 5, he'll face the Washington Commanders, who have given up the third-most fantasy points to WRs through four weeks. With Treylon Burks (turf […]

Miles Sanders Will Try To Stay Hot Against Arizona

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders will travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals Sunday. After one of the best games of his career last week, the 25-year-old will look to ride his momentum to further success against a less-than-stellar Arizona run defense. The Cardinals have given up the ninth-most fantasy points to running backs […]

Jalen Hurts Will Look To Bounce Back In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will go on the road to face the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. The third-year quarterback finished outside the top 12 for the first time in 2022 last week, fighting through harsh weather conditions in Philadelphia. He is primed for a bounce-back performance in Week 5, as Arizona has allowed the fifth-most […]

Travis Kelce Should Be Top TE Play In Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce should be considered a top tight end option for Monday night's contest against the Raiders. The only downside for fantasy is that the game is on Monday, limiting him from being in the player pool for a lot of DFS contests/ Kelce has finished with over 100 yards […]

Derrick Henry A High-End RB1 In Week 5

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has looked like the best version of himself in his last two games, charting 50 total touches for 290 yards and two touchdowns over that span. Even though Washington is just a neutral matchup for running backs, Henry's workload remains one of the largest in the leagues, so his […]

Ryan Tannehill Draws Favorable QB Matchup

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been up and down this season, but in a matchup with the Washington Commanders, he's a top streaming option. The Commanders have given up the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and since the Titans defense also struggles against the pass, this game could set up to be […]
