Sammy Watkins Absent From Practice On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) missed practice on Wednesday after being forced from the Monday night game against the Indianapolis Colts early. The veteran pass-catcher will probably need to get in some sort of practice later this week to have a shot at playing in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie […]

Devin Shore, Zack Kassian Out On Wednesday

Edmonton Oilers forwards Devin Shore (undisclosed) and Zack Kassian (head) won't be able to help the team in Wednesday's season opener against Vancouver. Shore picked up an injury in Tuesday's practice and Kassian has been nursing a head trauma since last Thursday's preseason outing. Both should be considered as day-to-day. Oilers head coach Dave Tippett […]

D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Remain Limited

Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (hip) were limited practice participants on Wednesday to begin the week. Swift and Williams continue to be limited but haven't missed any game time and should be good to go in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, barring any setbacks. Without many options to go […]

Mike Smith Gets The Nod On Wednesday

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will get the nod for the team's season opener on Wednesday against Vancouver. The veteran netminder will look to build on a very strong campaign. He went 21-6-2 last season with a 2.31 goals-against average, a .923 save percentage and three shutouts, making Mikko Koskinen's numbers look silly. With Brock […]

Melvin Gordon III Misses Practice With Hip Ailment

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a new hip injury. Gordon played through leg and rib issues the last two weeks and saw single-digit carries (nine each) in the last two games while continuing to split the touches and snaps almost dead even with rookie […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Looks To Impress Against Avalanche

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is set to face the Colorado Avalanche in Wednesday's season opener. The Flower is the first goalie since Dominik Hasek to be traded as the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and he'll surely have a point to prove in Chi-Town. He gets a chance to impress straight away with Colorado rated […]

Ben Roethlisberger Misses Another Wednesday Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (hip, pectoral) missed yet another Wednesday practice. It wouldn't be a surprise if Roethlisberger, likely in his final season, is rested throughout the year on Wednesdays. Pittsburgh's offense looked much better in the Week 5 win over the Denver Broncos when Big Ben threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns. […]

Evan Engram - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is considered a low-end TE2 against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. Giants starting QB Daniel Jones (concussion) is on track to play and could return to action for Sunday's game against the Rams. Engram averages 6.2 air yards per target and owns 15% of the team's […]

Chase Claypool, James Washington Limited In Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Chase Claypool (hamstring) and James Washington (groin) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Claypool missed Week 4 but returned to catch five of his six targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Denver Broncos. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) now done for the year, […]

Darcy Kuemper Starts Life In Colorado Versus Chicago

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Darcy Kuemper will take on the Chicago Blackhawks in the season opener on Wednesday. The former Coyote will make his team debut, hoping to get the same support Philipp Grubauer got from the team during his excellent spell in the Avalanche crease. Kuemper won only 10 of 27 outings last season, but […]

D.K. Metcalf Still Limited By Foot Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) put in another limited practice on Wednesday. Metcalf continues to be a limited participant in practices, but he has yet to miss a game and has scored four times in the last three weeks and five times through the first five weeks. The physical specimen caught all five […]

Chris Carson Expected To Return To Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) didn't practice on Wednesday but is expected to return on Thursday, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Carson missed last Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams and is questionable to play this weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. If he's truly a game-time decision this […]

Thatcher Demko Faces Oilers Wednesday Night

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will start the season off with a tough matchup against Connor McDavid's crew on Wednesday. The San Diego, California native had an inconsistent campaign last season but managed to produce a solid .915 save percentage with a 2.85 goals-against average and one shutout, finishing the year with a 16-18-1 record. […]

Devontae Booker - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants running back Devontae Booker is set to lead the team's backfield as starter Saquon Barkley (ankle) will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed 16 times for 42 yards and a touchdown and hauled in three of four targets for 16 yards and another score in the Giants' 44-20 […]

DeAndre Hopkins Misses Practice With Illness

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) did not take part in practice on Wednesday due to an illness. As far as we know, this isn't related to COVID-19, so Hopkins should be a lock to play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. The 29-year-old isn't seeing the type of volume that fantasy managers […]

Brock Boeser Will Miss Season Opener

Vancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's season opener against Edmonton. The 24-year-old traveled with the team and skated Wednesday morning but didn't take part in the line rushes. The Canucks have two more games to come this week and it's possible Boeser will be ready to play […]

Kyler Murray, Chase Edmonds Limited Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) and running back Chase Edmonds (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Murray's right shoulder is worth monitoring, but it's unlikely to keep him from playing in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns as the Cardinals look to stay undefeated. He had a down week last Sunday in […]

Aaron Jones, Robert Tonyan Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (ankle) and tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) were limited practice participants on Wednesday. Jones continues to be bothered by an ankle injury, but he hasn't missed any time on game days. In the Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, he carried the ball 14 times for 103 […]

Ezekiel Elliott On The Week 6 Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (ribs) landed on the Week 6 injury report after getting in a limited practice on Wednesday. Elliott missed a bit of time in the Week 5 win over the New York Giants, but he returned to the contest and had his second straight 100-yard game. Through five weeks, Dallas' […]

Buccaneers Defense A Low-End Starting Option Against Eagles

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense will take on the Eagles in Week 6. Tampa Bay will be without linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr (head), two key cogs in the defense. Still, the Buccaneers possess enough impact players to take advantage of a banged-up Eagles offensive line and get to signal-caller Jalen […]

Danny Amendola Limited Again On Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) remained a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Amendola was also limited in practice last week, but he was unable to gain clearance to play in the Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots. Another week of limited practices could allow him to return to the mix alongside […]

Nico Collins Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans designated rookie wide receiver Nico Collins (shoulder) to return from Injured Reserve after he returned to the practice field on Wednesday. The Texans will now have 21 days to activate him from IR and to the active roster. Collins had just two catches on four targets for 39 yards in the first […]

Ryan Succop - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop should continue his successful season in Week 6 against Philadelphia. Succop has produced at least six total points in every game this year, as he's made at least three extra points and one field goal in four of five games. The Eagles have been a middle-of-the-road matchup for kickers, […]

Joe Burrow Expected To Play In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (throat) is on "voice rest" after suffering a throat injury in the Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers that required a precautionary hospital visit, according to head coach Zac Taylor. After practicing in full on Wednesday, Burrow is expected to play this Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The […]

Lavonte David, Antoine Winfield Jr. Won't Play Against Eagles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers inside linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion) have both been ruled out for Thursday night's action against the Philadelphia Eagles. Defensive lineman Patrick O'Connor (calf) and outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (hand, shoulder) are also questionable. David and Winfield are two of the team's best defensive players, so the […]

Lane Johnson Ruled Out For Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (personal) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will be the third straight missed game for Johnson, who is no lock to return for the rest of the season while dealing with an apparent serious personal matter. […]

Marcus Mariota Nearing A Return

The Las Vegas Raiders designated quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) to return from Injured Reserve, and he returned to the practice field on Wednesday. The Raiders now have 21 days to activate Mariota from IR to the active roster as Derek Carr's backup. There's no guarantee that he'll be backing up Carr as early as this […]

Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (10/14/21) - DraftKings Daily Fantasy

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. Once again, G2 has failed us, at this point, I'm not even surprised. Sadly we lost a great part of the slate in the MadLions vs EG game being canceled as I put the article out yesterday. OG was able to do […]

Daniel Jones Could Play Without Practicing

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) is "on track with everything" and could return to play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Joe Judge. Jones didn't practice on Wednesday, but he was in full pads running sprints, taking snaps and throwing passes on a side field with trainers. […]

O.J. Howard - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard draws a good matchup in Week 6 against the Eagles. Howard takes on an Eagles defense that has been giving to opposing tight ends, considering they've allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the position. The Alabama product has seen a dramatic increase in snap count percentage, […]
