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 […]

Michael Carter Scores In Loss To Atlanta

New York Jets running back Michael Carter appears to be the lead back for this offense going forward. In Week 5, Carter rushed 10 times for 38 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He could've had more, but Ty Johnson vultured a one-yard score. It's also worth noting that Carter […]

Jae'Sean Tate Probable For Monday's Game

Houston Rockets small forward Jae'Sean Tate (back) is likely to start in the team's preseason game against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Tate has been dealing with a sore back and he wasn't able to play in the team's most recent preseason game this past Thursday. The 25-year-old is coming off of a fantastic rookie […]

Zach Wilson Looks Sluggish Against Falcons

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson came into this outing looking fairly decent in the win over Tennessee in Week 4. However, Wilson struggled to get anything going against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. He completed 19-of-32 passing attempts for 192 yards and one interception in the Week 5 loss. It doesn't help that Wilson […]

Zach Ertz Only Catches One Pass In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz only made one catch in a Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was targeted six times, but only made the one grab for seven yards. Ertz ended up second on the team in targets on a day where the Eagles passing game really struggled as a whole. […]

Chuba Hubbard Tallies Career-High 134 Scrimmage Yards

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 24 times for 101 rushing yards, adding five catches for 33 receiving yards in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

Maxx Williams Carted Off The Field In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams (leg) exited the Week 5 matchup against the 49ers. While getting tackled in the second quarter, the 27-year-old took a nasty hit to the right leg and was subsequently carted off the field.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Jalen Reagor Continues To Lose Fantasy Value In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor, last season's first-round pick, continued to show nothing of value in a Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was targeted five times, catching three passes for 24 yards. Besides the unexciting performance, Reagor was also seen barely trying to block on a screen play. The second-year receiver […]

Lauri Markkanen Starting On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Lauri Markkanen will make his first preseason start in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. With both Darius Garland (illness) and Collin Sexton (shoulder) sidelined for the game, the team will have a big lineup out to kick things off.

Sam Darnold Throws Three Interceptions In Loss To Eagles

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold had a rough game in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (undisclosed) exited Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

Dallas Goedert Catches Only Two Passes In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert only caught two passes in a Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was targeted three times, with the two catches going for a total of 28 yards.

Diontae Johnson Hauls In 50-Yard TD

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught both of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in a 27-19 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5. Johnson, who usually commands double-digit targets in most games, only drew two looks on an afternoon where Ben Roethlisberger attempted a season-low 25 passes. The veteran receiver […]

Tre Jones Should Return From Ankle Sprain Soon

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tre Jones (ankle) is expected to be back soon, according to Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. Jones has been sidelined due to a left ankle sprain and he recently re-aggravated the injury during a 3-on-3 session. The 21-year-old only saw about seven minutes per game as a rookie last year. […]

Texans Defense Has Decent Day

The Houston Texans defense put together a solid game in a losing effort to the Patriots. Houston recorded one sack, an interception, and a forced fumble, though they did allow 25 points to the Patriots.

Najee Harris Finds End Zone, Plays Through Cramps Late

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee found the end zone for the third time in the past four games in a 27-19 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5. Harris carried the ball 23 times for 122 yards and a touchdown while chipping in two catches for 20 yards in the win. The rookie running […]

Quez Watkins Catches All Three Targets In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins was targeted three times in a Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers, making all three catches for a total of 48 yards.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Misses Three Kicks Sunday

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn made a field goal and an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Fairbairn missed from 56 yards out, a make that would have provided a solid boost to fantasy managers' scores. The veteran placekicker was returning from a groin injury, so it's best to give him another game […]

Terry McLaurin Catches Just Four Of 11 Targets In Week 5

Washington Football team wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a quiet game in the team's 33-22 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. He had a team-high 11 targets, but was only able to reel in four of them for 46 yards. Adam Humphries went on to lead the team in receiving yards with […]

Houston Texans tight end Antony Auclair caught a touchdown pass in a loss to the Patriots Sunday.

Auclair will be impossible to trust for fantasy […]

DeVonta Smith Leads The Eagles In Receiving In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith led the team in receiving in Week 5. It was a poor passing game performance from quarterback Jalen Hurts, but Smith was able to make seven catches for 77 yards.

Buccaneers Defense Loses Lavonte David To Ankle Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the team's Week 5 game against the Miami Dolphins. He left after the injury and didn't return.
