Cedrick Wilson Too Risky To Start In Most Formats In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson has flashed his upside a few times this season, but he's too risky to start in most fantasy formats, especially for the first game with Andy Dalton starting at quarterback. For the season, Wilson has caught 12 passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns, but a huge percentage of […]

Michael Gallup Settling Into A Boom-Or-Bust Role

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup has fallen behind rookie CeeDee Lamb in the wide receiver pecking order, but he remains a guy with plenty of upside. For what it's worth, Gallup was the target on three of quarterback Andy Dalton's 11 pass attempts after he replaced Dak Prescott (ankle) in the Week 5 win over […]

CeeDee Lamb A Solid WR2 Option In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is a strong WR2 option for a Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Andy Dalton will be taking over under center for Dak Prescott (ankle) but it shouldn't be a huge downgrade for a guy like Lamb. The rookie has quickly moved up the receiver pecking order […]

Panthers Defense A Low-End Option

The Carolina Panthers Defense will take on the Chicago Bears in Week 6. Chicago has been a decent matchup for opposing defenses, as they rank 18th in fantasy points allowed. The Panthers haven't allowed more than 21 points in their last three games and have picked up five sacks, four fumble recoveries and two interceptions. […]

Joey Slye A Must-Start In Week 6

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is in a great spot to succeed in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Slye has made nine field-goals and six extra-points in his last three games and faces a Bears Defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. There may not be very many points scored […]

Ian Thomas Should Not Be Started

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas should not be started in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Thomas has five catches for 30 yards and a touchdown, not in one game, but for the whole entire season. He's seen just 10 targets all year and five of those came in one contest. There's just not […]

Curtis Samuel Not Seeing Enough Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel will be hard to trust in a difficult matchup with the Chicago Bears in Week 6. Samuel has been pretty efficient this year on limited looks, as he's hauled in 19 of 23 targets for 183 receiving yards. That's the problem though- he's only seen 23 targets to Robby […]

Amari Cooper Looks To Bounce Back In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper will look to bounce back from a rough Week 5 in a Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Cooper was blanketed in coverage by James Bradberry last week while pretty much every other Cowboys receiving option had a plus matchup, so he was expected to struggle a bit. […]

Adrian Peterson Misses Practice With Illness

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (illness) did not practice on Thursday. As far as we know, Peterson's illness isn't COVID-19-related, so he has a good chance of being active in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The Lions are coming off their bye week and AD had 11 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown […]

Darius Slayton Limited Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot) was a limited practice participant on Thursday. Barring any setbacks on Friday or Saturday, Slayton should be good to go in Week 6 against Washington. Although the Washington Football Team is holding wideouts to the third-fewest fantasy points through five weeks, Slayton remains a safe WR2 target […]

D.J. Moore A High-End WR3 Against Chicago

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore faces a tough test in Week 6 against the Bears. Chicago has surrendered the second-fewest fantasy points to enemy wideouts, though they've allowed the sixth-most targets. While Moore has taken a backseat to fellow receiver Robby Anderson, this certainly doesn't mean he's finished as a fantasy asset. His 37 […]

Tony Pollard Could See A Few More Touches In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard could see a few more touches in Week 6 and going forward with Andy Dalton under center. Starter Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott (ankle) essentially used to share rushing work, but with Prescott done for the year, Pollard could mix in a bit more to spell Elliott. Pollard saw […]

Ezekiel Elliott Could Be Even Better Without Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott remains a surefire RB1 and could even improve his fantasy production without Dak Prescott (ankle) in the lineup. Week 6 will be Andy Dalton's first start as Cowboys quarterback, and while he should be more than able to move the offense, he does not have the rushing talent that […]

Robby Anderson More Of A WR2 In Tough Matchup

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson has earned the benefit of the doubt as a must-start option in fantasy football. Anderson is currently tied for sixth in the NFL in targets with 46 and has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in three of five games this season. With three double-digit target games under his belt, the […]

Andy Dalton Set To Take Over For The Cowboys In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton will get his first start for the Cowboys in Week 6. Dalton took over for Dak Prescott (ankle) after he was forced from Week 5. Dalton did well, leading the Cowboys to a Week 5 victory. No one will mistake him for Prescott, but Dalton should be more than able […]

Eagles Defense Not Recommended In Week 6

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense should not be starting in most fantasy leagues in Week 6. They'll be taking on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens a week after the Philly defense had no answers for the Steelers. In Week 5, the Eagles allowed 38 points on 367 yards while recording just one sack. They performed […]

Jake Elliott Likely Not A Top-12 Option At Kicker

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is likely not a top-12 fantasy option in a Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Eagles offense has been struggling to move the ball and will face their toughest challenge yet in the Ravens Defense. Elliott has been solid when given the chance to kick, making seven of […]

Richard Rodgers Not A Great Option In Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers is not a viable fantasy option for Week 6. The Eagles will take on the Baltimore Ravens, and even with the absence of Dallas Goedert (ankle), Rodgers has not been asked to do much in the passing game. In fact, the Eagles have mostly disregarded their tight ends as […]

Zach Ertz Looks To Get Past A Slow Start In Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will look to break out of a very slow start to the season in Week 6. He'll have to do it against a tough Baltimore Ravens Defense and as part of a struggling Eagles offense. Ertz, who as recently as last year was an every-week top-tier fantasy tight end, […]

A.J. Green Not Looking To Be Traded

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green said that he's not looking to be traded ahead of the upcoming NFL trade deadline. Green said he believes that the Bengals are building something special and wants to be a part of it. The veteran wideout has been a shell of his former All-Pro self in 2020 and […]

Mike Davis A Must-Start Against Bears

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis takes on the Bears in Week 6. It's a mini-revenge game for Davis, who played in seven games for Chicago in 2019. The veteran should have the keys to Carolina's backfield for one more week, considering Christian McCaffrey (ankle) wasn't able to practice Wednesday and is looking doubtful at […]

DeSean Jackson Very Risky If Active In Week 6

UPDATE: Jackson is out for Week 6. Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) could return to the field in Week 6. He seemed to be trending toward a return in Week 5, getting in a series of limited practices, but was ultimately inactive. Barring any setbacks, he could get back on the field for […]

Alshon Jeffery Could Return For Week 6

UPDATE: Jeffery is out for Week 6. Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot, illness) could suit up and play in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. Jeffery was not ready to start the season due to a foot injury, and then just as he was trending upwards for Week 5, he came down with […]

John Hightower Not A Great Starting Option In Week 6 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower is not a good starting option for Week 6 fantasy lineups. Hightower was targeted six times in Week 5, catching just two for 18 yards. He had a tough time, as a long touchdown went right through his hands and he failed to get out of bounds on […]

Pump The Brakes On Travis Fulgham In Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham exploded in Week 5, catching 10 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown, leading to fantasy managers everywhere rushing to the waiver wire before Week 6. Fulgham may have earned a role on offense, but if Alshon Jeffery (illness) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) are able to return, Fulgham could […]

Mike Clevinger And Dinelson Lamet Expected To Avoid Surgery

San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller is confident starters Mike Clevinger (elbow) and Dinelson Lamet (biceps) will not need surgery. Both frontline starters experienced arm issues to end 2020, derailing their seasons and the Friars playoff hopes. After extensive tests, both pitchers were recommended rest and recovery and should be ready for 2021. Clevinger […]

Teddy Bridgewater Faces Tough Matchup In Week 6

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater gets a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Bears. Bridgewater has been playing good football lately, with at least 250 passing yards and two touchdowns in two consecutive games. Chicago presents a difficult obstacle though, as they've allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers, in addition […]

Luis Garcia Starting For Astros In Game 5

The Houston Astros will go with rookie pitcher Luis Garcia as the starter in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against the Rays on Thursday. Garcia appeared in just five games in 2020, making only one start in the abbreviated season. He had a 2.92 ERA and nine strikeouts in his 12 1/3 […]

Greg Ward A Volatile Option In Week 6 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward has been an inconsistent, low-upside fantasy option throughout the first five weeks of the season. He has seen seven, one, 11, seven, and five targets despite essentially being the only Eagles wide receiver to stay healthy this season. Against a tough Baltimore defense and playing on a struggling Philly […]
