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 […]

Rashaad Penny Returns To Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday. He was dealing with a shoulder issue and held out of Wednesday's practice. The 26-year-old returned Thursday and is expected to play against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Penny had a season-high 18 touches and shredded the Lions' defense by racking up […]

Rams Defense A Subpar Choice In Week 5

The Los Angeles Rams defense and special teams unit faces the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. The Cowboys have scored over 20 points in each of the last three games. They have turned the ball over fewer times than any other team in the league, and they have allowed the tenth-fewest sacks. The Rams defense […]

Matt Gay A Risky Streaming Option In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is 7-for-7 on field goals this season. In Week 5, he faces a Cowboys team that is allowing the third-fewest points per game in 2022. That means he probably won't get many chances to kick extra points this week, and his prospects for kicking field goals are unpredictable. He […]

Tyler Higbee Likely To Finish As TE1 In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been targeted more than any other player on the Rams except Cooper Kupp. He might be targeted a lot in Week 5 against the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a tough pass defense, which ranks in the top ten in limiting opponent's yards per game and yards per […]

Allen Robinson II Likely To Struggle In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II has been having a poor season and doesn't rate as a starter with his tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. The Cowboys defense ranks second in fewest passing yards allowed per attempt and sixth in passing yards per game, while racking up the second-most […]

Cooper Kupp Projects As WR1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has a tough matchup against the elite Dallas Cowboys pass defense in Week 5, but he still should be started and expected to finish as a WR1 in all leagues. The Cowboys rank second in fewest passing yards allowed per attempt, sixth in passing yards per game, and […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Should Be Kept On Bench

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. faces a tough Dallas Cowboys defense, which limits his prospects as a fantasy starter in Week 5. Henderson has carried the ball less than ten times in each of the past two games. He has had two games with four or more targets, but he also has […]

Cam Akers Unlikely To Finish As RB1 In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers lacks both the volume and efficiency to be trusted as an RB1 or RB2 as he faces a quality Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 5. Akers has averaged 9.5 carries for 29.5 yards per game rushing and has only added two receptions all season. The Cowboys defense has […]

Matthew Stafford Faces Stifling Cowboys Defense

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford faces a stingy Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 5 and should not be trusted as a starting QB in fantasy football. Stafford has been having a disappointing season, averaging 253.8 yards per game to go with just four touchdowns in four games and a league-leading six interceptions. The Rams […]

49ers Defensive End Nick Bosa Faces Old Rival In Week 5

The San Francisco 49ers defense, which leads the league in sacks, is facing the Carolina Panthers offense, which has allowed the 10thh-most sacks. Defensive end Nick Bosa, who has had a sack or more in each game, faces his old college rival Baker Mayfield. The last time the two of them squared off was in […]

Robbie Gould A Poor Streaming Choice In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould faces the Carolina Panthers, the team allowing the sixth-most points to kickers, in Week 5. Despite the favorable statistics, there is so much random variability with kickers that it is hard to glean much about this matchup. Gould has made five field goals in four games this season and […]

George Kittle Needs More Targets

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has not been the dynamic TE1 many expected him to be in his first two games back from injury. He has caught six passes for 52 yards. The problem has not been that he is not running routes. He is running routes on 86.7% of the Niners' passing […]

Brandon Aiyuk Will Be Low-End Flex

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk faces an average Carolina Panthers defense in Week 5. The Panthers are ranked No. 16 in total defense grade by PFF, and they are giving up the 12th fewest passing yards per game. The 49ers offense has been leaning on the run and throwing the ball less often […]
