Albert Okwuegbunam Could Miss Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) injured his hamstring in practice on Wednesday and isn't practicing on Thursday. There's a chance that he could be ruled out in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mid-week injuries are usually never good, so Albert O could be on the wrong side of questionable right now. The […]

Cristian Javier On Houston's ALDS Roster

Houston Astros relief pitcher Cristian Javier is on the team's American League Division Series roster. Javier began the season as a starter but switched to a relief role after nine outings in the rotation. Overall, the 24-year-old has pitched to a 3.55 ERA, a 4.43 FIP, 130 strikeouts, and 53 walks in 101.1 innings this […]

Tajae Sharpe Could See Expanded Role Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe is likely to start on the outside at wideout against the Jets in Week 5. Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) will miss the contest, opening up a wealth of opportunities for someone like Sharpe- who has seen his snap count rise over the last three weeks. It's […]

Teddy Bridgewater Gets In A Limited Practice

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (head) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday after he was a non-participant on Wednesday, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Bridgewater suffered his the first documented concussion of his career in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but he looks to be making progress […]

Cowboys Defense Unexpectedly Fantasy Relevant

The Dallas Cowboys defense was expected to be one of the worst units in the league this season, but they've actually been quite effective, both on the field and in fantasy lineups. The Cowboys defense has been a top-12 fantasy asset in every week of the season so far, including two top-five finishes. They've gone […]

Greg Zuerlein A Week 5 Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein should be a solid fantasy option most weeks as long as the Cowboys offense can keep clicking as well as they have. While "Greg the Leg" may not have quite "the leg" anymore in terms of distance, he's still a consistent, accurate kicker and hasn't missed a field goal try […]

Melvin Gordon III Returns To Limited Practice

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (leg) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after being absent on Wednesday. Gordon was listed as questionable last week, but he ultimately played in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old is on the right track to play again this weekend against the Pittsburgh […]

Marwin Gonzalez Left Off Houston's ALDS Roster

Houston Astros infielder Marwin Gonzalez was left off the team's 26-man roster for the American League Division Series. Gonzalez hit .199 with a .275 on-base percentage, five home runs, and three stolen bases in 307 plate appearances this season. The veteran started the season with the Boston Red Sox but joined the Astros in late […]

Rob Gronkowski Out Again Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday after he was inactive last Sunday night with four cracked ribs and a punctured lung. Gronkowski must return to at least a limited practice on Friday. Otherwise, the 32-year-old stands to miss his second straight contest. If […]

Olamide Zaccheaus To Operate As Top Wideout In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus could see an increase in targets in Week 5 against the Jets. Zaccheaus will step into the role as the team's alpha wideout, with Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) sidelined for the contest. The 24-year-old caught three passes for 32 yards and a score back in Week […]

Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown Miss Another Practice

Washington Football Team wide receivers Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Cam Sims (hamstring) also missed another practice. Samuel made his 2021 debut in the Week 4 win over the Atlanta Falcons and caught all four of his targets for only 19 yards. But an […]

Blake Jarwin Looks To Close The Gap In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin came into the season expected to be the primary tight end for the Cowboys, although he was expected to cede some snaps to Dalton Schultz now and then. Instead, Schultz has exploded into a TE1 while Jarwin is averaging a TE3 finish each week, making him unstartable in most […]

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 […]
