Dalton Schultz Looks To Keep Pulling Away In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz will look to keep pulling away from his competition in a Week 5 game against the New York Giants. Schultz and Blake Jarwin have been splitting routes and sharing targets this season, but it's Schultz that has seemingly developed into one of quarterback Dak Prescott's favorite targets. He's finished […]

Antonio Gibson Returns To Practice

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Unless Gibson suffers a setback between now and Sunday, he should be good to go for Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. Gibson comes into the week as the No. 12 overall running back […]

Cedrick Wilson Continues As A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson has put up decent fantasy scores over the past two weeks, but both only happened because he found the end zone. With Wilson catching just four passes for 47 yards in Weeks 3 and 4 combined, he's only developed some fantasy relevance because he's scored two weeks in a […]

CeeDee Lamb Looks To Even Things Out In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to even things out in a Week 5 game against the New York Giants. Lamb has had a mercurial season so far, looking outstanding in the first two games then thoroughly pedestrian in the next two. Through the first two games of the season, Lamb had 24 […]

Austin Meadows Out Of ALDS Game 1 Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the American Division Series against the Boston Red Sox. Meadows will sit with LHP Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound for Boston in Thursday's game. Randy Arozarena shifts to left field and Manuel Margot will handle right field duties while there […]

Jake Odorizzi Isn't On Houston's ALDS Roster

Houston Astros pitcher Jake Odorizzi was left off the team's 26-man American League Division Series roster. The Astros announced the roster on Thursday, but it didn't include the veteran starter. Odorizzi, his first season in an Astros uniform, pitched to a 4.21 ERA, 4.48 FIP, 91 strikeouts and 34 walks in 104 2/3 innings during […]

Cordarrelle Patterson A Low-End RB2 Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson draws a favorable matchup in Week 5 against the Jets. New York's defense has allowed the most fantasy points per game to running backs this year- and Patterson has been rolling lately, as he has exceeded the 100-yard scrimmage mark in each of the last two games, scoring three […]

T.J. Hockenson Returns To Limited Practice

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) missed practice for the first time this year on Wednesday, but he returned to a limited practice on Thursday. It's good news for his status in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. However, Hockenson didn't do much on the field, so he might need to show the coaching […]

Tony Pollard Could See A Few More Touches In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard had an enormous performance in Week 2 and has remained a solid contributor, averaging 10.5 rush attempts per game. Still, he hasn't been able to amass too many fantasy points while playing behind starter Ezekiel Elliott. With Elliott (knee) dealing with a minor knee injury, there always remains the […]

J.D. Martinez On Boston's ALDS Roster

Boston Red Sox outfielder and designated hitter J.D. Martinez (ankle) is on the team's 26-man roster for their American League Division Series matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays. Martinez wasn't on the roster for Boston's Wild-Card game win over the New York Yankees due to a left ankle sprain. The veteran hit .286 with a .349 […]

Dak Prescott Looks To Stay Consistent In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been consistently good all season so far, and will look to keep it up against the New York Giants in Week 5. He's led the Cowboys to a 3-1 record and first place in the NFC East, doing exactly what was required of him in each game. He's been […]

George Kittle Missing Practice Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Kittle followed the same routine last week before returning to practice on Friday and playing in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He also played 92 percent of the offensive snaps, although he finished with […]

Mike Davis Could Bounce Back In London

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis could be poised for a bounce-back performance in a Week 5 tilt against the Jets in London. Davis is coming off of his worst game of the season, a 13-carry, 14-yard game against Washington, a poor performance that was salvaged only by his receiving touchdown. While he hasn't performed […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Doesn't Practice, Trey Lance In Line To Start?

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. It's looking more and more like rookie Trey Lance will be forced to make his first career NFL start in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Garoppolo initially thought he'd miss at least a few weeks after getting injured […]

Matt Barnes Left Off ALDS Roster

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes isn't on the team's American League Division Series roster. The Red Sox announced their roster for the next round of the playoffs on Thursday, but it didn't include the veteran reliever. Barnes pitched to a 3.79 ERA and a 3.21 FIP in 54.2 innings during the regular season. […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

There will be no victory lapping or keeping score here – largely because tight ends mostly suck and we're all losing unless we have Kelce, Waller and well, I think that's it. Sadly, I think we've even lost George Kittle and T.J. Hockenson for the time being. But the goal is to lose a little […]

Matt Ryan In The QB2 Range Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will take on the Jets in a Week 5 game in London. Ryan will face a Jets defense that ranks 19th in pass DVOA without two of his better weapons, Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle). The veteran signal-caller is in the midst of a solid stretch of play, […]

Julio Jones Misses Another Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Jones looks to be on the wrong side of questionable for a Week 5 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it would be his second straight absence if he can't play. The good news is that A.J. Brown returned […]

Gavin Sheets In ALDS Game 1 Lineup

Chicago White Sox first baseman Gavin Sheets is in the lineup for the first game of the American League Division Series. Sheets is getting the start at first base and is batting seventh against Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr.. The 25-year-old hit .250 with a .324 on-base percentage and 11 home runs in 179 […]

Joe Mixon Not At Practice Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) was not seen practicing at the portion open to the media on Thursday. It would be Mixon's second straight missed practice after he suffered a low ankle sprain in Week 4 last Thursday. He'll need to practice at least on a limited basis on Friday to have a […]

Cesar Hernandez Not In ALDS Game 1 Lineup

Chicago White Sox second baseman Cesar Hernandez isn't in the starting lineup for the first game of the American League Division Series. The White Sox will match up with Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. but will do so with Hernandez on the bench. Hernandez hit .232 with a .309 on-base percentage, three home runs, […]

Christian McCaffrey "Definitely" Has A Chance To Play

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) said he feels great after a second straight day of limited practice on Thursday and that he "definitely" has a chance to play in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. McCaffrey is considered questionable and is expected to be a game-time decision Sunday morning, but signs continue to […]

Jonathan Kuminga Exits Early During Preseason Game

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's preseason contest. He played just six minutes before leaving with a knee issue. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned it was only a tweak, but there should be more information soon. The Warriors are likely going to be extremely cautious here, so […]

Patrick Williams Could Return For Season Opener

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) could be cleared in time for the season opener. Head coach Billy Donovan seems optimistic about the situation, but the organization wants to be cautious. They don't want to bring Williams back too early and he suffers a setback. Williams was impressive during his rookie season and should be […]

Nassir Little Impressing In Camp

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little has been one of the biggest standouts during training camp this season. It sounds like Little has been impressing new head coach Chauncey Billups. The organization plans to use a 9-man rotation and eight of the players have already been named. It sounds like Little has a legitimate chance […]

Eric Gordon Won't Play In Thursday's Preseason Contest

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (ankle) won't suit up for Thursday's preseason contest. This isn't shocking considering his injury history and it's a meaningless game. The veteran guard is going to have more competition than years prior. Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green have already been named the starters. That means, Gordon will compete with […]

Al Horford Expected To Play In Back-To-Back Sets

Boston Celtics power forward Al Horford saw plenty of load management during his time with the Thunder last season. However, it sounds like the Celtics are not going to put heavy restrictions on the veteran big man. Head coach Ime Udoka mentioned that Horford is expected to play in back-to-back sets this season. The organization […]

Quintez Cephus Hard To Trust

Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus will go up against a Vikings defense that is allowing the 13th most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Cephus has flashed in moments this season and is coming off a season-high 83 receiving yards in Week 4. But Cephus has matched a promising performance with a disappearing […]

Can Kalif Raymond Stay Hot?

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond will try and continue his pursuit to be the team's WR1 heading into Week 5. Raymond scored two touchdowns last week and has posted 14 catches for 182 yards through the first four weeks. The slot receiver has created a solid rapport with quarterback Jared Goff playing in an […]
