Randall Cobb - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is coming off his best game this season after reeling in five receptions for 69 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 31-year-old led the Packers in receiving and should see an expanded role for the next few weeks while Marquez Valdes-Scantling […]

Tyler Conklin - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin continues to do his best to fill in for Irv Smith Jr. (knee), who remains out with a torn meniscus. The 26-year-old entered Week 4 against Cleveland fresh off a seven-catch, 70-yard performance against the Seahawks, where he also scored a touchdown. However, Conklin cooled off against the Browns […]

Mitchell Robinson Sitting Out Saturday's Preseason Matchup

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Washington Wizards. Robinson is still rehabbing from surgery he could on his foot in March. He has not been cleared for full practice yet, which means he could miss the season opener. His absence will mean Nerlens Noel […]

Cody Parkey - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Cody Parkey shouldn't be in starting lineups this week. The veteran kicker just joined the team this week after it released Aldrick Rosas and shouldn't be trusted right away in a new offense. Parkey has been kind of streaky his entire career and went 19-for-22 in field goals and 43-for-47 in […]

Harrison Barnes Could Start At Power Forward

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes has an undetermined position as of right now. Head coach Luke Walton said Barnes could start at small forward or power forward. It sounds like the team plans to try out both scenarios during the preseason. Regardless, Barnes should have significant minutes without much competition at the forward position. He […]

Saints Defense A Solid Play In Week 5

The New Orleans Saints defense is a solid play in Week 5 against Washington. This unit has been fantastic to start the season, racking up six sacks, seven interceptions, and three forced fumbles in four total games. While Taylor Heinicke has shown flashes of brilliance on the field this season, that has come against weaker […]

LeBron James, Russell Westbrook To Make Preseason Debut

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and guard Russell Westbrook will make their preseason debut on Friday versus the Golden State Warriors. Both superstars will suit up for this one, while Anthony Davis sits out for rest purposes. Lakers fans will have to wait a little longer before they get to see the big 3 […]

Aaron Rodgers - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers bounced back from his disastrous Week 1 performance (0:2 TD: INT ratio) and owned an 8:0 TD: INT ratio over his last three games. The 37-year-old is an every-week starter and should produce against a mediocre Bengals pass defense (18th in DVOA against the pass). He has thrown for […]

Alexander Mattison - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison's fantasy outlook remains contingent on the status of Dalvin Cook (ankle) heading into Week 5. Cook remains a game-time call against the Lions. However, if he doesn't play, Mattison will automatically be an attractive fantasy target in nearly every format, including DFS contests. While filling in the Cook in […]

Juwan Johnson - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson should remain benched in Week 5. Johnson managed a touchdown last week but has only managed six receptions for 64 yards on 10 targets in four total games this season, leaving his production much to be desired. The Saints do not have a high-volume passing offense, meaning all […]

Ivica Zubac Taking The Night Off Friday

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (rest) won't play during Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. His absence will give Harry Giles III and Isaiah Hartenstein a chance to earn a roster spot. Serge Ibaka (back) continues to have injury issues, so Zubac is likely going to be asked to step up. Zubac should be […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is not a strong play in Week 5 against Washington. Though Callaway posted his best totals of the season last week (2/74/0), the receiver simply hasn't been consistent enough to be a weekly fantasy starter. The 23-year-old only mustered 22 total yards in Weeks 1-2 combined. With Jameis […]

Aaron Jones Removed From Injury Report In Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old was limited in practice for the second straight week due to an ankle injury but will play in Week 5. Surprisingly, the Bengals have been good against the run and are 11th in DOVA, […]

Jarred Vanderbilt To Start On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarred Vanderbilt will start during Friday's preseason game against the Denver Nuggets, according to head coach Chris Finch. He'll start alongside D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, and Karl-Anthony Towns. It sounds like Finch plans to try different lineups throughout the preseason. Vanderbilt and Josh Okogie will be battling for playing time, […]

Deonte Harris - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris is not a strong play in Week 5. Harris has been fairly inconsistent in 2021, posting a decent five receptions for 52 yards on eight targets last week while also posting a game with just nine yards back in Week 2. The Saints' offense under Jameis Winston is […]

Adam Thielen - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen failed to score a touchdown during the Week 4 loss to the Browns, snapping a three-game streak with at least one trip to the end zone. However, the veteran has a fantastic chance to get back on track against the Lions on Sunday. While the 31-year-old is at the […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 in Week 5. Last week, the RB posted a season-high 120 rush yards on 26 carries. Overall, Kamara has had an excellent start to the season, posting at least 83 rushing yards in three of four games. As the focal point of the offense, […]

Davante Adams - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams owns 41% of the team's target share (first among all wide receivers) and is an elite option against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5. Adams has seen a whopping 28 targets over the last two games. The Bengals are 22nd in DVOA against WR1s; expect the Packers wide […]

Jameis Winston - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is not a strong starting option against Washington in Week 5. The QB has managed less than 200 yards in three of four games and hasn't been as explosive overall. While it's encouraging the former Buccaneer has cut down on the turnovers with eight touchdowns to two picks, it's […]

Justin Jefferson - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson looks to keep his fantastic season going during the Week 5 matchup against Detroit. The 22-year-old wideout has been red-hot during the 2021 campaign, accruing at least nine targets in three of his four appearances on the year. The sophomore will also enter Sunday's contest riding a three-game touchdown […]

Kirk Cousins Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has all the makings to finish as a top option at the position in Week 5. Cousins has flown under the radar this season, for the most part, doing so despite stringing together some potent fantasy performances. The 33-year-old is currently in the midst of one of the best campaigns […]

Daniel Norris Left Off Milwaukee's NLDS Roster

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Daniel Norris isn't on the team's 26-man roster for the National League Division Series. Norris pitched to a 6.64 ERA and a 6.81 FIP in 20.1 innings for the Brewers after being acquired in a trade with the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline. Overall, the left-hander pitched to a 6.16 […]

Chris Taylor On The Bench For NLDS Game 1

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Chris Taylor is on the bench for the first game of the National League Division Series. Taylor hit a walk-off home run in the team's Wild-Card game win over the St. Louis Cardinals but won't be starting against the San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. Taylor didn't start in the […]

Danny Amendola Will Suit Up On Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) will be active for the Week 5 matchup against New England. The veteran sustained a thigh injury in Week 2 and hasn't seen the field since. However, after returning to practice during the week, albeit limitedly, he is healthy enough to go against the Patriots. Still, it's apparent […]

Chris Martin Left Off Atlanta's NLDS Roster

Atlanta Braves reliever Chris Martin wasn't included on the team's 26-man roster for their National League Division Series matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers. The reliever pitched to a 3.95 ERA and a 3.47 FIP in 43.1 innings this season. As has been the case for much of Martin's Major League career, he did an excellent […]

Richard Rodriguez Left Off Atlanta's NLDS Roster

Atlanta Braves reliever Richard Rodriguez was left off the team's 26-man roster for the National League Division Series. Rodriguez, who was acquired in a trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 30, pitched to a 2.94 ERA, a 4.04 FIP, 42 strikeouts, and 26 walks in 64.1 innings this season. He also registered 14 saves […]

Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro To Be Limited Friday

Miami Heat small forward Duncan Robinson and shooting guard Tyler Herro will see limited minutes in Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. The Heat played on Thursday night and Robinson and Herro were the team's two leading scorers, combining to hit nine threes and score 44 points. Jimmy […]

Sandro Mamukelashvili Starting In Friday's Game

The Milwaukee Bucks' starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets doesn't look much like the starting lineup we saw in last year's NBA Finals. The team's starting five for Friday's game will be Sandro Mamukelashvili, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Jordan Nwora, Georgios Kalaitzakis and Tremont Waters. Nwora and Thanasis Antetokounmpo started the team's last […]

Clint Capela To Ramp Up Workouts Soon

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is currently dealing with left Achilles soreness. He isn't expected to play in any of the team's preseason games and he may miss the start of the regular season as well. He hasn't been participating in any live work lately, but he is slated to begin live work on […]

Bobby Dalbec On The Bench For ALDS Game 2

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec isn't starting the second game of the American League Division Series. Dalbec started at first base and hit seventh in Game 1, going hitless in four plate appearances. The 26-year-old hit .240 with a .298 on-base percentage, 25 home runs, and two stolen bases in 453 plate appearances […]
