Tyler Higbee Losing His Fantasy Appeal

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has struggled in four out of five games to start the season, and it doesn't appear that things are going to get dramatically easier in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. Through five games, the 49ers are allowing an average of just 5.2 fantasy points per game […]

Robert Woods Is A Solid WR2 In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has been one of the most consistent wide receivers in football over the past couple of years, and that should continue in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are missing the majority of their top corners due to injury, and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) suffered […]

Brendan Steele An Interesting Value Option At CJ Cup

Brendan Steele will attempt to get back on track at the CJ Cup after missing the cut in last week's Shriners Hospitals For Children Open. Despite rounds of 67 and 69 at TPC Summerlin, Steele failed to make the weekend for the first time since June. The veteran's consistent results can be attributed to his […]

Cooper Kupp Has WR1 Upside In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is off to a slow start compared to how he played last season -- he finished as the WR4 on the year -- but against a beaten up San Francisco 49ers secondary, Kupp has a chance to do some damage in Week 6. The 49ers are expected to […]

Joaquin Niemann Looks To Stay Hot In Vegas

Joaquin Niemann is set to play in the upcoming CJ Cup at Shadow Creek. Niemann comes in fresh off a solid T13 performance in last week's Shriners Hospitals For Children Open. It was the youngster's third top-25 result in his last four starts. His sharp ball-striking ability should give him a leg up on the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Has The Hot Hand In Rams Backfield

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson saw rookie teammate Cam Akers return from injury in Week 5, but he has the hot hand and should continue to serve as an RB2 for fantasy managers in Week 6. He's receiving the majority of the snaps right now, but more importantly, he's receiving the majority of the […]

CJ Cup Provides A Rebound Spot For Jason Kokrak

Jason Kokrak failed to make the cut last week despite posting two rounds of 68 in the Shriners Hospitals For Children Open. It was his first missed cut in two months. Kokrak has a great chance to rebound in the upcoming CJ Cup at Shadow Creek. The lengthy Vegas layout is a much better fit […]

Cam Akers Should See Increased Workload

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers is expected to see an increase in his workload in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he's still not going to be much more than a shaky RB3/flex in standard-sized leagues. In Week 5, he saw less than 20 percent of the snaps, and the […]

Cameron Smith Finding Consistency With His Irons

Cameron Smith heads to this week's CJ Cup on a roll. Smith has made eight consecutive cuts on the PGA Tour with top-25 finishes in three of his last four starts. The Aussie's strong results can be linked to his newfound consistency with his irons. While usually spotty with the blades, Smith has managed to […]

Jared Goff Is A QB1 In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been a solid quarterback through the first third of the season and he should be a QB1 in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. Goff is the QB10 through five weeks, and he's currently averaging just over 20 points per game. The 49ers got lit up by […]

Shadow Creek Provides A Lengthy Challenge For Kevin Na

Shadow Creek Golf Course will host its first PGA Tour event this week. There are lots of unknowns surrounding the legendary Las Vegas layout, but we do know that it will play very long and cards out at over 7,500 yards. Kevin Na ranks just 71st in this CJ Cup field in driving distance and […]

Brandon Lowe, Kevin Kiermaier Rested Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (hand) were both out of the starting lineup for Game 4 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Wednesday. Kiermaier was hit on the left hand by a pitch in Game 3 on Tuesday, but X-rays came back negative and he is […]

Padres, Fernando Tatis Jr. Interested In Extension

San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller said there's "interest on both sides" regarding a contract extension for superstar shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., but neither side has taken the initial steps to begin negotiations. Tatis has one more season before he starts salary arbitration and has four years of team control left before he can […]

Gio Urshela Doesn't Need Surgery On Elbow

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) did not need surgery for a bone spur in his right elbow after the team was eliminated by the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 of the American League Division Series. The 29-year-old will go with rest and recovery in the offseason. Urshela has played extremely […]

Kyle Allen To Start Against Giants

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Kyle Allen (arm), who was replaced by Alex Smith in the Week 5 loss to the Rams because of an arm injury, practiced on Wednesday and will start in Week 6 against the Giants. Smith will remain as Allen's backup this Sunday, with Dwayne Haskins […]

FAB Bidding - Week 6 Waiver Wire Targets

Crack that piggybank and recruit some reinforcements! Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB). In case you were not aware, several fantasy sports platforms are switching from […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 brought some key injuries and we lost the NE/DEN game (with BUF/TEN still up in the air). The biggest injury was Dak Prescott, who was carted off after suffering a compound ankle fracture, but we also saw Sammy Watkins and A.J. Green leave due to hamstring injuries alongside Diontae Johnson's back injury. Also, Dalvin […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

It seems the waiver wire is becoming more and more important with all the hectic scheduling changes, potential cancellations looming, and the presence of injuries. Managers will now have to deal with potential COVID-related game postponements along with the setbacks experienced by many players. As we head into Week 6, it’s important to start monitoring […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Can you believe we're already on our way to Week 6 of the NFL? The season is flying along, even with a lot of bumps along the way. This week saw some wild performances from some unexpected places, including Steelers rookie Chase Claypool going all the way off. It's a great time to get Claypool […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 6

Once again, the NFL was a perfect example of why people love and hate the game of football. On one hand, we saw the best feelgood story in several years with Alex Smith returning to play (and looking relatively good all things considered) for the Washington Football Team. Then, just hours later the brutal cruelty […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Week 6 is not going to be kind to fantasy football managers at the tight end position. Four teams are on bye, which means fantasy players will not have Las Vegas’ Darren Waller, New Orleans’ Jared Cook, Los Angeles’ Hunter Henry, and Seattle’s Greg Olsen at their disposal. On top of that, fantasy footballers might […]

Top IDP Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

Last week, we gave you a few select pieces of advice in our IDP waiver column and our weekly IDP rankings column. Let’s review a couple of those pieces of advice, and whether they panned out, shall we? Last week we told you to stop letting Budda Baker sit on waivers. We warned you that […]

Younghoe Koo A Solid Starting Option In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid starting option in Week 6. Koo went 3-for-3 last week in field goals, booting in one from over 40 yards and another from over 50. The Vikings allow the most points to fantasy kickers, so this is one of the best weeks to start Koo.

Falcons Defense Should Be On The Bench

The Atlanta Falcons Defense is not a starting-caliber option this week. With a bunch of turnover on the coaching staff this week, it signals the start of a new time for the Falcons. Nevertheless, this unit has been struggling all season with injuries and underwhelming performances, especially in the secondary. The Vikings are potent on […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 If Active

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is a low-end TE1 if active in Week 6 against the Vikings. Hurst is now dealing with a back injury and his status for the game is unclear. The tight end has not been consistent as he posted two receptions for eight yards on six targets last week while […]

Russell Gage Best Left On The Bench

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is best left on the bench for Week 6. Gage has been dealing with a shoulder injury and it remains to be seen if he even plays this week. Nevertheless, after getting over 100 yards in Week 1, the WR has only gotten 64 total yards in the past […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 For Week 6

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid WR1 this week against the Vikings. Aside from a dud in Week 4 against Green Bay, Ridley has gotten over five receptions and at least 10 targets and 100+ yards receiving in the other four games. With such a rich role, Ridley is a strong play […]
