Alexander Radulov Good To Go On Thursday

Dallas Stars winger Alexander Radulov (illness) will play in the team's season opener on Thursday against the Rangers. The Russian veteran had been dealing with a a non-COVID illness and he missed Wednesday's practice, but his appearance at the morning skate was a positive sign and he's joined the team for the pre-game warm-ups. Radulov […]

Brandin Cooks - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks could have a rebound game in Week 6 against the Colts. Cooks averaged 107.3 receiving yards per game in the first three weeks, but has posted 47 and 23 yards in the last two weeks, respectively. The Colts defense has been susceptible to opposing receivers, as they've allowed the […]

Anton Forsberg Takes On Toronto Thursday Night

Ottawa Senators goaltender Anton Forsberg will be the masked man for the team's season opener on Thursday against Toronto. Matt Murray was at Wednesday's practice and skated on Thursday, but the former Penguin has been battling a non-COVID related illness and isn't ready to help his team. Forberg logged eight appearances for Ottawa last season […]

Sammy Blais Won't Feature In Thursday's Matchup

New York Rangers winger Sammy Blais (lower body) won't be available for Thursday's clash with Dallas. The 25-year-old made his team debut in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Washington and got hurt straight away. He played less than 11 minutes but had a pretty busy night with three hits, two blocks and six penalty minutes. Former […]

Jake Guentzel Will Play On Thursday

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Jake Guentzel will make his season debut on Thursday against Florida. The 27-year-old, who potted 23 goals and had 57 points last season in 56 outings, missed the team's first game of the season after testing positive for COVID-19. Guentzel will go straight to the first line and he'll also join the […]

Mark Ingram II - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II got a day of rest on Thursday ahead of a tough matchup with the Colts. Ingram saw 26 touches in the only positive game script the Texans have seen this year back in Week 1, and he has yet to approach that total in any week since. He […]

Khalil Herbert (RB, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues UPDATE: (Thursday October 14th) Damien Williams was placed on the COVID-19 list on Thursday, and is likely to be unavailable for this week's game against the Packers. Khalil Herbert is now in a position to start and would be a viable RB2 with upside. He […]

Sergei Bobrovsky Starts Season Opener For Florida

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will be between the pipes for Thursday's season opener against Pittsburgh. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner is closing in on 300 career wins and looks set up for success against the Penguins as Sidney Crosby (wrist) and Evgeni Malkin (knee) remain unavailable. Bobrovsky carries a big contract but Spencer Knight […]

David Johnson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back David Johnson could be poised for a solid game in Week 6 against the Colts. Johnson has led the backfield in snaps in each of the last two weeks while producing his best receiving output of the year so far, tallying eight catches for 73 receiving yards in that span. The […]

Zach Bogosian Could Miss Up To Six Weeks

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Zach Bogosian (lower body) is set to miss four to six weeks with a lower-body injury suffered in the team's opening-night defeat to Pittsburgh. He logged 14:14 of ice time in the game with a minus-two rating and didn't make it to Wednesday's practice. Tampa has called up Andrej Sustr from […]

Bengals Claim Tre Flowers Off Waivers

The Cincinnati Bengals claimed cornerback Tre Flowers off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. Flowers requested his release after being demoted from a starting role early this season in Seattle. The former fifth-round pick in 2018 will provide valuable depth and experience for the Bengals secondary. Flowers had 212 tackles (172 solo), three interceptions, […]

Davis Mills - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills gets a good matchup against the Colts in Week 6. Mills showcased just how boom-or-bust his fantasy profile is over the last two weeks, throwing four interceptions against the Bills in Week 4, then following it up with an impressive, 312-yard, three-touchdown day against the Patriots. The rookie hadn't exceeded […]

Braden Holtby Starts Season For Dallas

Dallas Stars goaltender Braden Holtby will guard the crease as the team opens the season on Thursday against the Rangers. The 2018 Stanley Cup champion signed a one-year deal with the club in July to provide some goalie depth with Ben Bishop's status uncertain due to knee surgery, and it looks like he's impressed the […]

Deon Yelder Brought Up From Practice Squad

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers elevated tight end Deon Yelder from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Bucs already have Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard, but Yelder will provide some more depth at the position with Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) set to miss his third straight […]

T.Y. Hilton Contemplated Retirement

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (neck), who remains on Injured Reserve with a neck injury, said he contemplated retirement over the last few months. He decided against it after talking with former quarterback Andrew Luck, and Hilton has returned to practice the last few days. However, the 31-year-old pass-catcher has pumped the brakes on […]

Brady Tkachuk Gets $57.5 Million Contract From Ottawa

Ottawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk signed a seven-year, $57.5 million extension with the club ahead of Thursday's season opener against Toronto. However, he won't be in the lineup for the game. Tkachuk isn't among the most prolific forwards in the league, but he's become a real hit among fantasy managers with his outstanding hits […]

Damien Harris Back At Practice

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. The Patriots announced that Harris' injury wasn't serious on Monday, so it's not a huge surprise that he's on track to play in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. But even if the 24-year-old plays this […]

Phil Kessel Ready For Season Opener

Arizona Coyotes right wing Phil Kessel (foot) is ready to play in the team's season opener on Thursday despite missing the preseason due to an injury. The veteran winger will take the ice for his 901st consecutive regular season game. Kessel's fantasy value has taken a big hit in recent years, but he did have […]

Allen Robinson II Absent Again Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Robinson is questionable to play this weekend against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, but a limited practice on Friday would put him on the right side of questionable. The 28-year-old has pretty much been an afterthought in […]

Mike Williams Not Practicing Again Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Williams is now looking very questionable for the Week 6 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. The No. 1 fantasy wideout through five weeks will need at least a limited practice on Friday to ease everyone's concerns about […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Both Upgraded Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Cook missed the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions, but it looks like he'll be back this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Mattison, meanwhile, returned to a limited practice after sitting out on Wednesday. Cook […]

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 […]
