DeSean Jackson On Track To Return For Thursday’s Game

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) may be out for Sunday’s contest versus Baltimore, but he is apparently close enough to action that he is expected to return for Thursday’s game against the Giants. Jackson’s return will be a welcome addition for a wide-receiving corps that will rely on Greg Ward and Travis Fulgham […]

Bears Defense Puts Sacking Prowess To Test Sunday

The Chicago Bears Defense entered the year as one of the premier units in the league, but a few lackluster performances early on in the season diminished their stock. They have combined for 11 sacks in their first five games, 3.5 of which have come at the hands of Khalil Mack. That sacking prowess gets […]

Sam Darnold Out Sunday; Joe Flacco Will Start Again

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s contest versus Miami, allowing veteran signal caller Joe Flacco to step in for the second consecutive week. Darnold had been optimistic about returning to the field earlier in the week, but his sprained right AC joint has not healed in time. […]

Melvin Gordon III Not Facing In-House Suspension From DUI

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III is sitting out Sunday’s contest versus New England due to a non-COVID-19 illness, but he was also arrested earlier in the week on DUI charges. In the wake of the incident, the Broncos do not plan to levy a fine or to suspend Gordon beyond what the U.S. […]

NFL Announces No New COVID-19 Positives; All Sunday Games On

After a rollercoaster week of positive COVID-19 announcements from players and coaches alike, the NFL announced Sunday morning: play football. The league came back with no new positive tests ahead of kickoff around the league, with all games given the green light to take place.

Eagles Defense Likely To Get Darius Slay For Sunday’s Game

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has cleared the league’s concussion protocol in time to suit up for Sunday’s game versus Baltimore. With Avonte Maddox (ankle) already out, the Eagles Defense will benefit immensely from having Slay, particularly when facing the high-octane Ravens offense. Slay made a season-high eight tackles last week prior to his […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 6

The Week 5 wide receiver matchup article only featured one player that finished inside the top-10, and that was Jamison Crowder who finished as WR-7 on the week. Tee Higgins underwhelmed in a tough matchup against the Ravens Defense, Golden Tate flopped in a great matchup against the Cowboys and Deebo Samuel’s performance suffered due […]

Booms and Busts - Surprise Starts and Sits for Week 6 Lineups

The hits keep on coming during the 2020 season of fantasy football. Each week that passes by seems to bring yet another major talent crashing down due to injury. This past week it was Dak Prescott that was lost for the season with a broken ankle. As much as this injury affects the outlook for […]

It's Week 6 and with a larger sample size, the CB Matchup Chart is becoming even more meaningful.

Jacksonville Delivers No New Positive COVID-19 Tests Sunday

The game scheduled for Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars will go on as planned after the Jaguars announced Sunday morning that they had no new positive COVID-19 tests.

Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 6

Week 6 is here! The weirdness from last week has continued, as we have now had a Tuesday Night Football game but then had Thursday Night Football taken away from us. Assuming and hoping that there are no cancellations this weekend, fantasy managers can count on not having any Saints, Seahawks, Chargers, or Raiders this […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I was riding high after predicting eight out of the top ten defenses two weeks ago, but we saw some craziness this Sunday (along with some top tier defenses postponed or canceled), which caused only a 50% success rate in identifying top-10 units. Miami throttling San Francisco was truly a surprise, as was a Kansas […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

This NFL season continues to be the weirdest one that I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’ve seen teams come out and get embarrassed by bottom dwellers, and I just watched Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins absolutely dismantled the San Francisco 49ers. If you ever think that you’re going to be able to accurately predict […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr. Will Be Inactive Again Sunday

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. (illness) will not be on the team’s active roster for Sunday’s contest versus the Giants as he continues to battle a non-COVID-19 illness. Kyle Allen will hold down starting QB duties, with Alex Smith serving as his back-up. It’s unclear how the Washington QB situation will shake out […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets and Avoids

Five weeks into the season and we're starting to see who some teams really are. We already knew the Jets and Giants were awful, but are the Rams actually good? They're 4-1 with all their wins coming against the NFC East and their lone loss against the Bills. It'll also be real interesting to see […]

Breshad Perriman Expects To Suit Up Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) is on track to return to the lineup for Sunday’s contest versus Miami. Perriman has missed each of New York’s three previous contests, with his return giving former teammate Joe Flacco a deep threat against the Dolphins’ secondary. Optimism does not abound surrounding the Jets’ offense, which […]

Drew Lock Should Make Expected Return As Starter Sunday

Signs had been pointing toward Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) returning to the field as the starter for Sunday’s game versus New England, and that appears to be the case, barring a last-minute setback. Lock last appeared in Week 2 before a shoulder injury forced him to cede way to a combination of Jeff […]

Baker Mayfield Gets Thumbs Up To Start Versus Steelers

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (chest) will suit up for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, a confirmation of his own status that he provided earlier in the week. Mayfield is battling sore ribs, which could be a target against a defense as aggressive as the Steelers’. Working in Mayfield’s favor is that he has both Odell […]

Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry Both On Track To Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and Jarvis Landry (hip/ribs) are both set to play in Sunday’s contest against the Steelers despite having had questionable designations throughout the week. Beckham’s absence was tied to receiving negative COVID-19 tests, which put him on track to play so long as he felt up to it, […]

Leonard Fournette Expects To Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will warm-up prior to Sunday’s game, but so long as he has no setbacks, is expected to play versus Green Bay. Fournette last received carries Week 3 against Denver, having battled an ankle injury that has limited him in practice. In the case that he does play, […]
