Derek Carr Goes Without A TD Pass In Week 5 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 22-of-35 passes for 206 with one interception and no touchdowns in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 30-year-old's issue with getting off to a slow start continued against Chicago and he was never able to find a rhythm throughout the afternoon. Carr also had difficulty delegating […]

Adam Thielen Disappears Against Detroit

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen disappeared on Sunday, finishing with only two catches for 40 yards during the win over the Lions. The veteran undoubtedly had his worst game of the season, and his three targets didn't do him any favors either. With Justin Jefferson and Alexander Mattison being the focal points of the […]

Steelers Defense Picks Up Two Sacks In Week 5 Win

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense turned in a solid effort in a 27-19 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5. Pittsburgh sacked Teddy Bridgewater twice and intercepted him once on the way to the win.

Gordon Hayward, Mason Plumlee Out On Monday

Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward and center Mason Plumlee have been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Miami Heat due to health and safety protocols. Both players were put under health and safety protocols this past week and neither have played in the preseason yet. However, assuming no setbacks, they should both […]

Justin Jefferson Leads The Way Against Lions

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson led his team in receiving in Week 5, finishing with seven catches for 124 yards during the last-second victory over the Detroit Lions. He didn't score a touchdown, though. Still, fantasy managers should continue to be encouraged by his statistical output this season. The former LSU Tiger has now […]

Panthers Defense Delivers Strong Performance

The Carolina Panthers defense put together a strong game in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The day could have been even better for the Panthers had they landed on the football after it sailed […]

Elijah Moore Held Without A Catch

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) was already a risky fantasy option heading into Week 5. He was able to get in full practice towards the end of the week, but was sidelined earlier due to a concussion. Nonetheless, Moore did suit up versus the Atlanta Falcons. Although, he was held without a […]

Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday To Play On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton (hamstring) and point guard Jrue Holiday (knee) will both make their preseason debuts in Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Jamison Crowder Posts Dud In Week 5

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder was solid during his season debut last week. Sadly, he wasn't able to match that performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5. He finished with four receptions on six targets for 24 yards in the loss. Those six targets were second on the team behind Corey Davis. […]

Zane Gonzalez Makes Three Field Goals In Loss

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez made all three field goals and one extra point in a losing effort to the Eagles. Gonzalez was impressive, making each of his kicks from 40 yards and out, capping off his day with a 50-yarder. It was the best performance of the season so far for the 26-year-old- who […]

Chase Claypool Finds The End Zone In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool turned in a big game in a 27-19 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5. A week after getting sidelined by a hamstring issue, Claypool broke out for five catches for 130 yards and a touchdown in the win over Denver. On an afternoon where the Steelers only […]

Corey Davis Is Inefficient Versus Falcons

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis put together his best game of the season in Week 4. Sadly, he was not able to carry that momentum into the Week 5 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Davis hauled in four of his seven targets for 45 yards in the loss. Those seven targets were a […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo To Make Preseason Debut Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will make his preseason debut in Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been dealing with a minor knee injury, but the team has also just been extra cautious with him. He is expected to be on a minutes limit for Sunday's game. He should be […]

Alexander Mattison Fills In Admirably On Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison filled in admirably for the injured Dalvin Cook (ankle) during Sunday's narrow win over the Lions. The 23-year-old was all over the place in Week 5, compiling 113 yards off 25 carries. He also caught seven passes for 40 yards, with one of those receptions resulting in a trip […]

Tommy Tremble Finds The End Zone Sunday

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. Tremble got loose in the red zone, connecting on a five-yard score with Sam Darnold. The talented rookie has an opportunity to snatch the starting tight end job away from Ian Thomas- who saw five […]

Ian Thomas Totals Season-High 40 Yards

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas posted a season-high 40 yards in Sunday's defeat to the Eagles. Thomas had just 39 receiving yards through the first four weeks of the season but eclipsed that total in one game Sunday, averaging a solid 10 yards per reception. The 25-year-old unfortunately had to watch as Tommy Tremble […]

Rudy Gay To Remain Out For Monday's Game

Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay (heel) will be out once again for Monday's preseason game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Gay is in the midst of recovering from offseason heel surgery. He has yet to play in a preseason game, but he is expected to be ready to return early on in the regular season. […]

Daniel Jones Out For The Remainder Of Week 5

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

Terrace Marshall Jr. Catches Just Two Passes

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. caught just two of three targets for 14 yards in a 21-18 loss to the Eagles. Marshall had an opportunity to produce with D.J. Moore struggling against the coverage of Darius Slay, though he failed to make an impact on the box score. With just six targets over […]

Kenny Golladay Out For The Remainder Of Week 5

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys. It isn't good news for the team, mainly since Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Daniel Jones (concussion) both sustained injuries as well during the game. Darius Slayton (hamstring) and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) also […]

Robby Anderson Sees Seven Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson caught just two passes for 30 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Anderson's seven targets tied for the team lead, giving him 18 over the last two weeks, an encouraging development after the team vowed to get him more involved. Still, he'll need to be more productive to […]

Dillon Brooks, Ziaire Williams Questionable For Monday

Memphis Grizzlies small forwards Dillon Brooks (thigh) and Ziaire Williams (thigh) are questionable for the team's preseason game against the Detroit Pistons on Monday.

Eagles Defense Has An Excellent Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles defense had an excellent Week 5 in a win against the Carolina Panthers. The Eagles, who had struggled on defense most of the season, allowed only 16 points and recorded three interceptions and three sacks. It was easily the best performance of the season for the Eagles on defense, scoring 14 fantasy […]

Ty Johnson Finds The End Zone In Week 5

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has been off to a slow start this season, but picked it up a bit in Week 5. He rushed four times for 12 yards and one touchdown during the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Johnson also added two receptions for 22 yards, which is decent considering he […]

Eric Gordon Doubtful For Monday's Game

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (ankle) is likely to miss his second consecutive preseason game on Monday. Gordon is dealing with soreness in his left ankle. The Rockets went with Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. in the backcourt for Thursday's game and the same should be expected on Monday. Rookie shooting guard Josh […]

Kirk Cousins Plays Well Enough In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 275 yards and a touchdown on 25-for-34 passing during the win over the Lions on Sunday afternoon. He also threw a pick. However, he still finished with a 73 percent completion percentage. Fantasy managers were hoping for more heading into this one. Still, it was the type of […]

D.J. Moore Held To Season-Low 42 Receiving Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore caught five passes for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Moore had a tough day against Eagles corner Darius Slay, who intercepted two of the passes intended for the talented Panthers wideout.

Jake Elliott Makes A Long Field Goal In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made two field goals and an extra point in a Week 5 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Elliott, not known for a big leg, made a 58-yarder at the end of the first half. His other field goal was a more Elliott-like 30 yard kick. It wasn't a big sample […]
