Tyreek Hill Misses Another Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) will miss his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Hill was believed to have suffered a minor injury in the Sunday night loss to the Buffalo Bills, but his status is in question for a Week 6 tilt with the Washington Football Team. The 27-year-old speedster […]

Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay Out Again Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) were both missing from practice on Thursday for the second straight day. The Giants haven't officially ruled Barkley or Golladay out for Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, but they are both fully expected to miss this weekend. Barkley is […]

Mason McTavish Records First NHL Goal

Anaheim Ducks winger Mason McTavish recorded a goal and added an assist in his NHL debut on Wednesday. His new team defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-1. At 18 years old, McTavish became the youngest player in Ducks history to score a goal. He also provided an assist on Adam Henrique's power-play goal in the second […]

Curtis Samuel A No-Show Again Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) remained out of practice on Thursday during the media-viewing portion. Samuel has been dealing with this same groin injury since training camp. He finally made his season debut in Week 4, but he aggravated the groin on Sunday and is now in danger of missing another game […]

Antonio Gibson Back At Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gibson has been playing through a hairline fracture in his shin and has been rested on Wednesdays the last several weeks. He hasn't missed a game either, but the shin injury is something to continue watching […]

Cowboys Defense Could Keep Rolling In Week 6

The Dallas Cowboys defense will look to keep things going in Week 6 against the New England Patriots. They weren't expected to be a good defensive unit when the season started, but they've put up DST1 finishes in every week of the season so far, averaging an overall DST7 finish. The Cowboys have an impressive […]

Daniel Jones Returns To Limited Practice Thursday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) was the first QB in every drill on Thursday and will be listed as limited on the final practice report. According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, it looks like Jones will play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams unless he has some sort of setback. The […]

Greg Zuerlein - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein makes for a solid fantasy option in Week 6 lineups. The Cowboys are taking on the New England Patriots and shouldn't have much trouble moving the ball against their struggling defense. In Week 5, Zuerlein made three field goals and five extra points and he's been solid and consistent since […]

Blake Jarwin - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is approaching fantasy irrelevance. He was expected to be the top tight end for the Cowboys before the season started, but ended up sharing snaps with Dalton Schultz before being thoroughly outplayed in every game. Through the first four weeks, Jarwin and Schultz were seeing almost the same number […]

Dalton Schultz - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz finally got the separation he needed in Week 5 and is a clear TE1 option for Week 6 against the New England Patriots. While Schultz had been the best tight end in a Cowboys uniform all season, he was still splitting routes and targets almost evenly with Blake Jarwin […]

Lance McCullers Jr.'s MRI Gives Positive News

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) should be fine in the long run after undergoing an MRI exam, but there's still no word on whether he will be able to pitch during the rest of the postseason. McCullers left early in Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Chicago White […]

Cedrick Wilson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson is only a fantasy option in the deepest leagues for Week 6. Wilson has maintained a role on the Cowboys offense while Michael Gallup (calf) has missed time, but Wilson has not seen more than four targets in any game yet this season, and is averaging just 2.4 targets […]

Darcy Kuemper Wins Debut For Colorado

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Darcy Kuemper and his teammates defeated Chicago 4-2 on Wednesday. The former Arizona Coyote stopped 32 of 34 Blackhawks shots. Kuemper minded the crease for Arizona for parts of four seasons before coming over to Colorado this past offseason. The 31-year-old will be a crucial component for his club in what should […]

Maxx Williams Placed On IR, Done For The Season

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and is "done for the season," according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury wouldn't reveal the exact nature of his knee injury. The tight end finishes the 2021 season with 16 catches for 193 yards and a touchdown, and he was […]

Trevon Diggs' Injury Isn't Serious

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (ankle) will be limited in practice on Thursday, but head coach Mike McCarthy said the situation is "not of high concern." Free safety Damontae Kazee (hip) also reported hip tightness on Monday, and the issue flared up at the beginning of practice on Wednesday. He will work with the rehab […]

Rashod Bateman Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that there's a "chance" that rookie wide receiver Rashod Bateman (groin) comes off the Injured Reserve and plays in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. "He's looking good. … I don't think we're going to throw him into the fire every play. I think we're going to […]

Amari Cooper - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is set for another strong WR2 performance in Week 6 against the New England Patriots. Cooper has finished as either the top wide receiver in fantasy football (overall WR1 in Week 1), a WR2 (overall WR22 and WR23 in Weeks 4 and 5), or outside of fantasy consideration (WR71 […]

CeeDee Lamb - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is set up for a strong performance in a Week 6 game against the New England Patriots. Lamb broke out of a mini-slump in Week 5, finishing as a fantasy WR2 again after two disappointing weeks of WR4 and WR7 performances. He's been a WR2 in every other week […]

Mike Smith Leads Oilers to Victory

Edmonton Oilers netminder Mike Smith made 36 saves in a 3-2 shootout victory over Vancouver on Wednesday. Smith compiled three key saves in overtime to send the contest to a shootout. The 39-year-old veteran stopped six shots coming from the Canucks top forward, Elias Pettersson, as the Oilers held him pointless in the season's first […]

Tony Pollard - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard should see plenty of chances to touch the ball in Week 6. Pollard has averaged almost 13 touches per game this season and while that won't be enough for RB1 consideration, it's certainly enough to paint him as a solid, reliable RB3/FLEX option. Pollard has shown the ability to […]

Tyler Conklin - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

After securing seven of eight targets for 70 yards and a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin has followed that up with only nine targets, six receptions and 43 yards combined the last two weeks. With an ADOT of only 3.11 during that span, there's just not much […]

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is one of the top running back options in Week 6 fantasy lineups. "Zeke" has finished as an RB1 in every game this season besides Week 1. He's been the overall RB8 once, the RB1, and then the RB6 twice. It's been an excellent season already for Elliott after […]

Dak Prescott - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is once again a QB1 option in Week 6 fantasy lineups. The Cowboys are taking on a New England Patriots defense that allowed Davis Mills to throw for three touchdowns and over 300 yards. Prescott's upside is basically unlimited against this defense, but there is always the chance the team […]

Coaches on the Hot Seat - Fantasy Implications

The first NFL head coach who didn't make it through the 2021 season was Jon Gruden, although not at all for reasons anyone would have anticipated (except Keyshawn Johnson). The Gruden story alludes to a larger problem within the league and society as a whole but this piece isn't meant to serve as a platform […]

William Nylander Buries Game-Winner On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander deposited his first goal of the campaign on Wednesday, helping elevate his team to a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The 25-year-old was the difference-maker in this one, tallying the eventual game-winning goal 1:06 into the final frame. Nylander also recorded a plus-one rating, two penalty minutes, five […]

Alex Ovechkin Records Four Points In Opener

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin registered a pair of goals and added two assists as his team defeated the visiting New York Rangers on Wednesday night. With his two-goal performance, Ovechkin tied and then passed Marcel Dionne for fifth all-time in the NHL in goals scored (732). Entering the contest as a game-time decision due […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Expected To Play Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Jason Pierre Paul (shoulder, hand) is expected to play Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles. He is questionable for Thursday's game but is all systems go for Thursday Night Football. Last week, the 32-year-old returned to action against the Miami Dolphins after missing the previous two games with shoulder and hand injuries. […]

They Might Be Giants (in Fantasy Football)

The New York Giants went into their Week 5 game against the Dallas Cowboys already down Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton. They came out of the game down Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay, and maybe even their quarterback Daniel Jones. As of right now, it looks like Barkley and Golladay are both out at least this […]
