Danny Amendola Limited Again At Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Amendola is theoretically on track to suit up in Week 6- though he also practiced in a limited fashion last week before ultimately being ruled out. Amendola still seems to be trending towards a return to action, though it will be […]

Thursday Night Football Starts & Sits: Bucs vs Eagles

I feel like we all need a quick breather after Week 5. Last week had monster fantasy games, devastating injuries, and dramatic finishes. And the best part, there’s no time to take a breather as we have a huge Thursday Night game this week. Last week, we had eight running backs rush for 100+ yards, […]

Melvin Gordon III Returning To Limited Practice

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) will return to a limited practice participant on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday with a new hip ailment. Gordon had been dealing with ribs and leg injuries the last several weeks, but it doesn't look like his new hip injury […]

Jamaal Williams Downgraded Thursday

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (hip, illness) missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Williams is now dealing with an illness, but it doesn't appear related to COVID-19. As long as he gets in a limited practice on Friday, he should be fine to play in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. […]

Dan Arnold - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Dan Arnold is a high-end TE2 option against Miami in Week 6. The athletic tight end is on the rise after he led the Jaguars in receiving last week in just his second week with the team following a trade from Carolina. Additionally, the Dolphins present an unimposing matchup, as Miami […]

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Practicing In Full

Tennessee Titans wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) were both full participants in practice on Thursday. It's more notable for Jones, who has missed the last two games. He's now on track to play on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. Brown was able to return last week but caught just three […]

DeAndre Hopkins Out Again With Illness

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. It's concerning that Hopkins has missed two straight practices this week, but as long as he can return to practice Friday, he'll still have a good shot at playing in Week 6 against […]

Marvin Jones Jr. - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is a solid low-end WR3 against Miami in Week 6's London game. The Dolphins have been shredded for the fourth-most PPR points by opposing wideouts thus far in 2021, so Jones should be able to take advantage. After starting off strong, Jones has trailed off over the last […]

Adam Thielen Gets In Some Work Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (foot) ran some routes at the start of practice on Thursday before walking off for injury rehab. It doesn't sound like Thielen did much, but at least he was on the practice field for a little bit. Justin Jefferson (ankle) was limited and said he expects to play in […]

Jarvis Landry Not Expected To Be Activated For Week 6

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) took a step closer to returning from injury as he has been running under supervision this week. According to the Akron Beacon Journal, however, Landry is unlikely to be designated for return from the injured reserve ahead of his team's Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Landry […]

Khalil Herbert Could Have A Huge Role In Week 6

Chicago Bears rookie running back Khalil Herbert could be in line for heavy usage in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers after the Bears put Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. David Montgomery (knee) remains on Injured Reserve. Herbert, who had 18 carries for 75 yards in the Week 5 […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is an intriguing but confounding Week 6 fantasy option against the Miami Dolphins in London. On one hand, Miami has allowed opposing wideouts to score the fourth-most PPR points in the NFL, but on the other hand, Shenault was only targeted three times last week while catching just […]

Kareem Hunt, Nick Chubb Miss Thursday Practice

Cleveland Browns running backs Kareem Hunt (wrist, knee) and Nick Chubb (calf) both missed practice on Thursday, making it two days in a row that the star runners have not been able to take the field. Hunt was spotted working off to the side while Chubb was not seen at all on Thursday. The Browns […]

Bears Place Damien Williams On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed running back Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. The Bears are already without David Montgomery (knee), who is on Injured Reserve, so rookie Khalil Herbert is now in position to start in a dream matchup against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. It's unclear if Williams tested positive for […]

Carlos Hyde - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde shouldn't be a fantasy consideration in Week 6 despite facing a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the most PPR points in the NFL to opposing running backs. James Robinson has emerged as a dominant lead back over the last few weeks, rendering Hyde a mere change of pace […]

James Robinson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is a surefire RB1 in Week 6 against a Miami defense that has given up more fantasy points to opposing running backs than any other NFL team. Miami is allowing a whopping 33.2 PPR points per game to opposing backs, and the red-hot Robinson is primed to take advantage. […]

NFL DFS Strategy: 2021 DraftKings Scoring Analysis

We talk a lot about NFL DFS here at RotoBaller. It is a wildly popular game and in fact, it proves to be much more strategic and beatable than season-long fantasy football. By that I mean that the best players will win at a higher rate in DFS than the best players will win in […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 8: English Premier League

We're back following the international break and we're looking to make it six straight matchweeks of profit following a big game two weeks ago. We correctly picked Leeds to beat Watford on Saturday, although our prop bets all fell through. But Crystal Palace and Leicester City played out a 2-2 draw like we predicted and […]

Christian McCaffrey Looking Doubtful For Sunday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings. McCaffrey was limited on Wednesday but was downgraded to a non-participant Thursday- suggesting that he may have suffered some sort of setback at practice. The star runner hasn't officially been deemed doubtful, but fantasy managers […]

K.J. Osborn - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Being the third wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings recently has been less than ideal for fantasy purposes. Most weeks, K.J. Osborn is going to be the fourth option, at best, in a run-first offense. Some weeks he could be even lower if they decide to get tight end Tyler Conklin involved. The first two weeks […]

Trevor Lawrence - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence has plenty of upside against the Miami Dolphins in an ideal Week 6 matchup. The Dolphins have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks to date in 2021 and they were eviscerated by Tom Brady for 411 yards and five passing touchdowns last week. Lawrence has also been […]

Corey Knebel Will Start Game 5

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Corey Knebel will start Thursday night's deciding Game 5 against the San Francisco Giants. This comes as a significant surprise, as the strong expectation was for lefty Julio Urias to take the mound for the Dodgers. It is possible this is intended to force Giants manager Gabe Kapler into starting […]

Antonio Gibson Not Limited By Shin Injury

Washington Football Team offensive coordinator Scott Turner said running back Antonio Gibson (shin) has not been limited by a hairline fracture in his shin. "No. He's good. He's not limited. We take care of him during the week and we make sure he's ready to go, but as of now once Sunday hits he's ready […]

Lamar Jackson Not Spotted At Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. It's unknown if Jackson is actually dealing with an injury or if there is something else keeping him off the field, but we'll keep you updated when more information comes out. The 24-year-old superstar put on […]

Christian McCaffrey Not At Practice Thursday

There was no sign of Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. McCaffrey has been limited in the last four practices as he recovers from his hamstring strain, so this isn't a good sign as he hopes to return in Week 6 against the […]

Justin Jefferson Expects To Play Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he will be limited on Thursday and expects to play in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy managers got a little spooked on Wednesday with his missed practice, but fret not, the 22-year-old should remain glued to all starting fantasy lineups […]

T.J. Hockenson Practicing On Thursday

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Hockenson has been bothered by a knee injury in recent weeks. While he has played through the injury, the 24-year-old hasn't found the end zone since Week 2 and has only eight receptions on 13 targets for 74 yards […]

DeVante Parker Trending In The Wrong Direction

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Parker was unable to play in the Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and looks headed for another absence this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. He'll need to at least practice on a limited […]
