Jared Goff - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff will try and get the Lions in the win column as the team prepares to play the Bengals in Week 6. Turnovers have plagued Goff through the first month of the season and has only two touchdown passes over his last three games played. He will go up against a […]

Joe Mixon Gets In Some Work Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) worked with the running backs in drills toward the end of media availability during the team's practice on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like Mixon got in a full practice, but he did get some work in. If he can increase his activity throughout the week, he should be […]

Devontae Booker (RB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker through Week 4: 6.6 PPR points. Devontae Booker in Week 5: 20.8 PPR points. That's it. That's the post. Nah, not really, but if you paid the tiniest bit of attention to the developments taking place in the Giants game at […]

Kadarius Toney (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Call me crazy, but I truly was this close to label Toney a lost cause and a bust after getting drafted 20th overall by the New York Giants... and putting up two back-to-back duds of 1.8 and 3.6 PPR points in his first couple of […]

Hunter Henry (TE, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's start in reverse order. Jonnu Smith has played more than 50% of the Patriots' offensive snaps in just two games this season, including last Sunday's, though he only got 5+ targets in one of those and this last weekend those dropped […]

Alex Collins (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing after reading about Seahawks' HC Pete Carroll telling media that Chris Carson missed Week 5 entirely because of a neck issue popping up and the tailback not feeling comfortable enough to play. Now, to that, you have two add two things: […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has led the team in receptions in each of the past two games. In Week 4 against the Chicago Bears, he caught six of his eight targets for 70 yards. He followed the […]

Killian Hayes Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game

Detroit Pistons point guard Killian Hayes (head) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the New York Knicks. Hayes was involved in a collision during the team's previous preseason game on Monday. According to the injury report, he is out for Wednesday's game with a concussion, but there hadn't been any mention of […]

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson saw a season-high 11 rushing attempts in the team's Week 5 victory over the Houston Texans. Unfortunately, he didn't do much with them, rushing for just 23 yards, good for 2.1 yards per carry. […]

Jerick McKinnon (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Veteran Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon should be slated for an increased workload over the next few weeks. The team's top running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) suffered an MCL sprain this past week and he is likely to miss […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues RSOTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even if you don't believe it, you can count the number of players with more targets in Week 5 than Hardman got with just one hand. That's correct. Five wideouts--including teammate Tyreek Hill--were all folks to out-target Hardman this past weekend. Makes […]

David Njoku Sitting Out With Knee Injury

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. Njoku was a popular waiver-wire pickup at the weakest position in fantasy after he went off for seven catches, 149 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Browns may be just resting […]

Darrel Williams (RB, KC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Clyde Edwards-Helaire had produced 24 total yards on eight touches before he suffered a knee injury during Kansas City’s Week 5 matchup. That elevated Williams into an expanded role when the Chiefs hosted Buffalo. Williams manufactured 27 rushing yards on five attempts against the Bills, […]

Michael Carter (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last chance, fancy pants. Carter's rostership has already broken the 50-percent mark so this is probably the last time we'll be writing about him as he should be getting on more and more rosters as the season keeps growing old. The Jets […]

Devante Parker Misses Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker missed practice on Wednesday with both shoulder and hamstring injuries. The veteran also missed last Sunday's game, so he's not trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest with the Jaguars. With Will Fuller also out with a broken finger, Parker's absence could open up more targets for Jaylen […]

Marquez Callaway (WR, NO) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints are on their bye in Week 6, but then Callaway will have a great chance at following up Sunday’s 85-yard, two-touchdown day with excellent matchups against Seattle and Tampa Bay. Deonte Harris left the game early with a hamstring injury after his […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12+ Team Leagues (or stash on IR) ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you don't remember about this running back that goes by the name of Jeff Wilson Jr., well, I guess I can't blame you. Wilson has been out since the last game of 2020 and has yet to […]

Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler And Others To Sit On Thursday

The Miami Heat will be resting most of their regulars during Thursday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry are amongst the most noteworthy Heat players who will be sitting out for the game. The Heat play their preseason finale against the Boston Celtics at home on […]

Chris Godwin Gets In Full Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle, knee) practiced fully on Wednesday and will be good to go for Thursday's game against the Eagles. Godwin was never in doubt to miss the game, but it was still a good sign to see him ramp-up to full participation after being limited Monday and Tuesday. He […]

Giants Missing Two Starting Linemen At Practice

New York Giants starting offensive tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) and starting guard Matt Skura (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday. With the team already incredibly banged up, losing two offensive linemen doesn't figure to get many headlines, but it's not good news for running back Devontae Booker, who figures to be the starting running back this […]

Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns running backs Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (knee, wrist) both sat out of practice on Wednesday. It's unknown if either Chubb or Hunt are in danger of missing Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals, but we'll continue to monitor their status throughout the week. Chubb had a monster day in the Week […]

Julio Jones Back at Practice on Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones was back at the open portion of practice on Wednesday after missing the last two weeks with a hamstring injury. Considering the Titans play on Monday night, the fact that Jones is already practicing on Wednesday should lead to some optimism for his return against the Bills. The Titans' […]

Joe Ingles Resting For Wednesday's Game

Utah Jazz guard/forward Joe Ingles will be resting for the team's preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic. Ingles logged 20 minutes off the bench in the team's previous game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. He shot 2-for-5 from the field with all of his […]

Dyami Brown Returns To Practice Wednesday

Washington Football Team rookie wide receiver Dyami Brown (knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out of the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Brown injured his knee in Week 4, but it looks like he might only end up missing one game. The third-round pick has just five catches […]

Saquon Barkley Doesn't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) wasn't at practice on Wednesday, which shouldn't come as a surprise. The franchise star suffered a low-ankle sprain on Sunday and will almost certainly miss this week and possibly next week as well. Devontae Booker will carry the load in his stead, but it's not a very juicy […]

Antonio Gibson, Curtis Samuel Not Practicing

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. Gibson is dealing with a hairline fracture in his shin but has been playing through it, carrying the ball 20 times for 60 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans […]

Talen Horton-Tucker To Miss At Least Four Weeks

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb) is expected to be sidelined at least four weeks following surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. THT suffered the injury during a preseason game. He has a chance to be one of the first players off the bench for the Lakers this year once […]

Kyrie Irving Is Reportedly Not Anti-Vaccine

We've finally attained some clarity as to why Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving has refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine. According to a report in The Athletic, Irving has chosen not to get vaccinated because he is "upset that people are losing their jobs due to vaccine mandates." The report claims that Irving is […]

Rob Gronkowski Ruled Out For Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) won't play against the Eagles on Thursday. Gronkowski is reportedly making progress, though the quick turnaround to Thursday likely didn't help his chances of suiting up. Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard will hold down the fort at tight end once again for the Buccaneers in a favorable […]
