Colts Sign Michael Badgley With Rodrigo Blankenship Hurting

The Indianapolis Colts signed kicker Michael Badgley after working him out on Wednesday, according to sources. Regular kicker Rodrigo Blankenship (hip), who missed practice on Wednesday, tweaked his hip in the Week 5 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and is now questionable to be ready for Week 6 against the Houston Texans after undergoing an […]

Mike Williams Not At Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday to begin the practice week. Williams is a surprise addition to the Week 6 injury report after he caught eight of his whopping 16 targets for 165 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 5 win over the […]

Cameron Brate - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate will have another good opportunity ahead of him with Rob Gronkowski (ribs) set to miss Thursday's game against the Eagles. Brate has failed to make an impact so far this season- as he has yet to exceed the 50-yard mark. The Buccaneers have split the playing time of […]

Damien Harris Misses Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ribs) did not participate in the team's Wednesday practice after getting injured in the Week 5 win over the Houston Texans. It was reported on Monday that Harris avoided a serious injury last weekend, so he has a chance to return to practice later this week and play […]

Allen Robinson II On The Week 6 Injury Report

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) popped up on the injury report for the first time this year after not practicing on Wednesday. It's unclear if this new injury is serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 6 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, but we'll continue to monitor his status […]

Damien Williams, Darnell Mooney Limited Wednesday

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (foot, knee) and wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Williams was the popular waiver-wire pickup last week after David Montgomery (knee) went down with a multi-week knee injury, and he responded by carrying the ball 16 times for 64 yards and a touchdown […]

Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen Dealing With Injuries

Minnesota Vikings wide receivers Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Adam Thielen (foot) were both listed as not practicing on Wednesday. Both players were a big part of the offense in the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions, but they will be injuries to watch heading into Thursday's practice. Through five weeks, Jefferson currently ranks as […]

Alexander Mattison Absent Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Dalvin Cook (ankle), who missed the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions, returned to practice, so he has a chance to play again in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Mattison has been money for fantasy managers in the two games that […]

Dalvin Cook Returns To Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after being inactive in the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions. Cook has missed two of the last three games and wasn't effective in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. The fact that the 26-year-old even practiced on Wednesday is […]

Dylan Strome Will Be A Healthy Scratch For Season Opener

Chicago Blackhawks forward Dylan Strome will have to wait a bit more for his season debut, as he won't be in the lineup when the team starts the 2021-22 campaign on Wednesday against Colorado. The former third-overall pick had a great year for the Blackhawks in 2018-19 with 51 points in 58 outings, but he's […]

Darren Waller Misses Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller wasn't at practice on Wednesday. Waller wasn't believed to have suffered an injury in the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears, so the reasoning for his missed practice is unclear. We'll continue to monitor the situation throughout the week. There's a chance that the Raiders are just […]

Antonio Brown - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown will take on the Eagles in primetime Thursday night. Brown has seen at least seven targets in three games this year, going over the century mark with at least one touchdown in two of those contests. Quarterback Tom Brady (thumb) will be dealing with a minor injury, but […]

Connor Hellebuyck Starts Season With Very Favorable Matchup

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck starts the 2021-22 campaign on Wednesday against a team whom he has dominated throughout his career. The 28-year-old boasts a 7-1-1 record against the Ducks with a 2.19 goals-against average, a .925 save percentage and two shutouts. Hellebuyck had a disappointing finish to last season in the playoffs, but it […]

John Gibson Tries To Stop Jets Wednesday Night

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will face the Winnipeg Jets in Wednesday's season opener. It looks like he'll be in for another long season as the Ducks are expected to struggle once more. Things were really ugly for Gibson last season when he got to celebrate just nine victories in 35 appearances. The 28-year-old ended […]

Mike Evans - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans should keep rolling against the Eagles in Week 6. Evans has been the best receiver in the Tampa Bay offense, corraling 29 of 45 targets for 393 yards and four scores, all of which lead the team. After a disappointing Week 1, he has gone on to see […]

Alex Ovechkin Is A Game-Time Decision For Wednesday

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin (lower body) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with the Rangers. The Great Eight got hurt in the team's preseason finale last week and could join long-time partner in crime Nicklas Backstrom (hip) on the sidelines. However, Ovechkin was on the ice for Tuesday's optional practice and also […]

Ronald Jones II - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II isn't worth starting in Week 6 against the Eagles. Jones has averaged just 5.3 touches per game while playing less than 20 percent of the snaps over the last three weeks, a workload that puts him squarely in backup running back territory. He'll need to find the […]

Vitek Vanecek Starts Season For Washington

Washington Capitals goaltender Vitek Vanecek will be the masked man for the team's first game of the season on Wednesday against the Rangers. Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette has two strong options between the pipes with Vanecek and Ilya Samsonov, but it's the Czech netminder who gets the first opportunity to impress. The 25-year-old, who […]

Mitchell Marner Is A Game-Time Decision For Season Opener

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Mitchell Marner (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's season opener against Montreal after he collided with Wayne Simmonds in Tuesday's practice and left the session early. The signs look pretty positive that he'll play, but we won't know for sure before the warm-ups start. Toronto is already without Auston […]

Jake Allen Takes On Toronto In Season Opener

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen will take on the Toronto Maple Leafs in the team's season opener on Wednesday. This will be the first of many starts for the 31-year-old early in the season, as Carey Price (personal) is currently away from the team. Allen had a pretty solid debut season for Montreal in 2020-21, […]

Christian McCaffrey Trending Towards Game-Time Call

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is likely to be a game-time decision this Sunday. McCaffrey practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, with fantasy managers likely hoping for good news coming out of practice- though head coach Matt Rhule's "50-50' designation wasn't exactly encouraging for the star runner's status. Hopefully, McCaffrey can ramp up […]

Khalil Herbert - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert will serve as the change-of-pace back as the team prepares to take on the Packers in Week 6. Herbert looked fantastic spelling starter Damien Williams out of the backfield last week and actually finished the game with more carries (18) than the veteran (15). But Williams will continue to […]

Damien Williams - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams will remain the team's RB1 heading into the team's matchup against the Packers in Week 6. Williams does share the workload with rookie teammate Khalil Herbert but the veteran posted 84 total yards and a touchdown last week. Williams should continue the lead the charge in a run-heavy offensive […]

Cole Kmet - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will have a favorable matchup against the Packers in Week 6. Offensively, the first five weeks have been a major disappointment for the second-year tight end. Kmet has amassed only 10 receptions for 81 yards but has been a major contributor run-blocking in a run-heavy offense. The Packers have […]

Leonard Fournette - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette gets a favorable matchup against the Eagles in Week 6. Fournette has fully taken the reins to Tampa Bay's backfield, handling 25 and 17 touches in the last two weeks while exceeding the 100-yard scrimmage mark in each game. As seven-point road favorites with quarterback Tom Brady (thumb) […]

Darnell Mooney - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney will go up against a Packers defense in Week 6 that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers. Mooney posted 125 yards in Week 4 but crashed back to earth last week with only 35 yards. Mooney has the speed and talent to be a dynamic […]

Allen Robinson II - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II will take on a Packers secondary that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Nine different receivers have posted at least seven fantasy points against them but only two receivers have posted more than 90 receiving yards against them. Meanwhile, Robinson is off […]

Justin Fields - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is riding high off his victory against the Raiders in Las Vegas but now must experience a rite of passage Bears fans know all too well; playing the rival Packers. Fields is making progress but, from a fantasy perspective, is not producing enough to warrant consideration. The rookie will face […]
