Brandon Tanev Drivers Offense For Kraken

Former Pittsburgh Penguins forward Brandon Tanev scored his third goal of the season for the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night during the club's 2-1 overtime loss. Expected to serve as more of a physical role, the high-energy player has sparked the offense early on this season after scoring just seven goals last season. He scored […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Yanked In Blackhawks Loss

Saturday night did not go well for Marc-Andre Fleury and the Chicago Blackhawks. The veteran goaltender was yanked in the first period of the club's 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins after allowing four goals on 10 shots. Kevin Lankinen replaced Fleury in the net and allowed just one goal on 16 shots. The former […]

Joe Mixon Projected To Start On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to play against Detroit on Sunday. Mixon has been dealing with a bum ankle for weeks now, and even though he saw a limited workload during the overtime loss to Green Bay, he still managed to rack up 33 yards and a touchdown off 10 carries. […]

Danton Heinen Scores Again In Penguins Win

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Danton Heinen stayed hot Saturday night and scored his third goal of the season in as many games. The club defeated the Chicago Blackhawks by a score of 5-2. Teddy Blueger, Drew O'Connor, Brock McGinn, and Jason Zucker also scored goals. Heinen's offense had dried up over the past two seasons — […]

Conor Garland Stays Hot Despite Canucks Loss

Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland scored his first goal of the season during the club's disappointing performance on Saturday night. The club fell 3-1 to the rebuilding Detroit Red Wings. Bo Horvat and Tanner Pearson added the helpers for the club's lone goal. Garland now has three points in his first three games with the […]

Thomas Greiss Makes 40 Saves In Red Wings Win

Veteran goaltender Thomas Greiss was rock-solid on Saturday night as the Detroit Red Wings upset the Vancouver Canucks by a score of 3-1. He stopped 40 of the 41 shots that he faced during his first regular-season action in 2021-22. Robby Fabbri, Filip Zadina, and Sam Gagner had the goals for Detroit. Greiss is coming […]

Chris Kreider Nets Third Goal In Rangers Win

New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider scored his third goal of the season during the club's 3-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin both assisted on the goal. The former added a second helper later in the game. Kreider has been an early stud in fantasy hockey with […]

T.J. Hockenson Likely Available Against Cincy

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is projected to be in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Bengals. Hockenson has carried the questionable designation for weeks now because of a knee ailment but has continued to suit up despite it, so his availability shouldn't come as a real surprise. Fantasy managers should continue […]

Jonathan Drouin Scores In Canadiens Loss

Jonathan Drouin scored the lone goal for the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night as the team's scoring woes continued. The club lost 3-1 to the New York Rangers. Christian Dvorak and Brett Kulak assisted on the goal. Drouin now has two of the club's three goals this season through three games. His 2021-22 total matches […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Be Good To Go Against Pats

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (ribs) should be good to go for Sunday's showdown in New England. The veteran practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, so that was a good sign. However, while he should remain classified as a starting option in all fantasy formats in Week 6, his presence isn't without […]

Damien Harris Expected To Be In The Lineup On Sunday

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) is anticipated to play on Sunday against Dallas. The 24-year-old sustained the injury during the Week 5 narrow win over the Houston Texans, opening the door for Rhamondre Stevenson to get involved and finish with 23 yards off 11 touches. However, even with Harris back in the […]

Terry McLaurin, Antonio Gibson Expected To Play

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and running back Antonio Gibson (shin), both questionable, are expected to play Sunday against Kansas City. Gibson, who has exceeded 70 scrimmage yards while scoring three touchdowns in the last two weeks, will take on a Chiefs defense that has already allowed the seventh-most scores to opposing […]

Tyreek Hill Likely To Play Against Washington

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quad), listed as questionable, is looking good for Sunday's game against Washington. Hill, who fought through the injury last week against Buffalo, will give it a go on Sunday against the Washington Football Team. Hill has had two fantasy explosion games, two solid games, and one dud this […]

Xavien Howard, Byron Jones Inactive Against Jacksonville

Miami Dolphins cornerbacks Xavien Howard (shoulder, groin) and Byron Jones (Achilles) will miss Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Losers of four games in a row, the Dolphins will now have to attempt to defeat the 0-5 Jaguars without both of their starting corners- not an ideal task. 2020 first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene will have to […]

DeVante Parker, Preston Williams Inactive

Miami Dolphins wide receivers DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring) and Preston Williams (groin) are inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Parker will miss his second straight contest- as he continues to manage a shoulder issue that has bothered him since the start of the year, as well as a relatively new hamstring ailment. Williams' absence […]

Last week was perhaps the best in the history of this column. The six rookies featured here for Week 5 averaged 23.48 PPR points. Most notably, Giants […]

Tua Tagovailoa Officially Active Sunday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Tagovailoa returns to the lineup for a matchup against a Jaguars' defense that ranks last in pass DVOA, though he'll be without top weapons, such as Will Fuller (finger), DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring), and Preston Williams (groin), definitely capping his […]

Mike Williams Expected To Play Against Ravens

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee), listed as questionable, is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Williams was unable to practice all week, as his knee was swelling up, though it seems like the team was taking the cautious approach with their star wideout. The 27-year-old should be out […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 6

The wide receiver matchup article from last week recommended some solid plays with Davante Adams (WR-2), Kadarius Toney (WR-7), CeeDee Lamb (WR-17) and Deebo Samuel (WR-20) all finishing Week 5 with strong performances. On the lower end, Marvin Jones Jr. was targeted six times but only hauled in one of them for 25 yards and Jakobi Meyers (WR-47) really underwhelmed. Tyler […]
