Jordan Akins Has Streaming Appeal In Week 6

If he suits up on Sunday, Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle) should be a strong streaming candidate against a Titans Defense that allows the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Akins hasn't had a ton of production over his last two games, but did have seven catches in Week 2 […]

Myles Gaskin Carries RB2 Upside

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has become the lead back this season. The team continues to heavily utilize him in both the running and passing game. Last week, Gaskin rushed 16 times for 57 yards and one touchdown on the ground. He also added five receptions for 34 yards through the air. There is […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Has Favorable Matchup Versus Jets

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has surprisingly held decent fantasy value through the first few weeks of the regular season. Fitzpatrick has thrown for 300 yards or more in each of the last two games. There is a good chance he'll do it again against the horrendous New York Jets Defense in Week 6. The […]

Randall Cobb Remains Deep League Flex Option

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb isn't going to win you a week in fantasy this year, but the slot receiver has been targeted at least five times in three of the last four games and has value in deep leagues.

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 6

There are a lot of warning signals from Week 5. The 2020 season is possibly one of the hardest seasons to predict. We are seeing a lot of high-scoring contests that are allowing some lesser-known players to blow up the box score. We are also seeing a changing of the guard due to some of […]

Brandin Cooks Positioned For Strong Week 6

2020 has been a weird ride for Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks. He bottomed out in Week 4, failing to record a single reception. But the team moved on from head coach Bill O'Brien after that game, and in the team's first appearance post-O'Brien, Cooks was targeted a season-high 12 times, catching eight of […]

Engel's Angles: In-Season Tips for Success and Survival

This has been a somewhat stressful and more of an anxiety-inducing fantasy football season than what we have been used to. Major injuries and other health concerns have appeared to add more challenges than we normally deal with in a given year. Of course, the twists and turns we face throughout a season makes our […]

Will Fuller V Has Upside In Week 6

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V has now scored a touchdown in three consecutive games, and he's done it while not playing the one-dimensional, deep-threat role that he's played in past seasons. Fuller has become a well-rounded option for quarterback Deshaun Watson and has WR2 upside heading into a Week 6 meeting with the […]

Dustin May To Start Game 5 Against Braves

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Dustin May will start Game 5 of the National League Championship Series on Friday against the Braves with the Dodgers trying to stave off elimination in the series. Gingergaard went 3-1 with a 2.57 ERA in 12 outings (10 starts) during the regular season, and he hasn't give up a […]

David Johnson Has Good Week 6 Matchup

Houston Texans running back David Johnson saw a season-high 17 carries in the first game of the post-Bill O'Brien era last week, while backup running back Duke Johnson had just four touches.

49ers Defense Should Not Be Trusted In Week 6

The 49ers Defense is coming off a disastrous Week 5 performance in which they were absolutely torched by Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins. Fitzpatrick threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns while the Dolphins put 43 points on the board. This week, the 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams, who are averaging 27.2 points […]

DeSean Jackson Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is optimistic about wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) making his return in Week 6 against the Ravens. Jackson has been limited in practice this week, but he's on track to return after missing the last two games. Even if the oft-injured deep threat returns on Sunday, he'll be hard […]

Deshaun Watson Is Trending Up

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was playing like a fantasy QB2 over the first four games of the NFL season, but with head coach Bill O'Brien gone, he looked more like the expected version of himself last week against the Jaguars. Now, he'll look to continue that momentum against the Titans this week. Tennessee is […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr. Returns To Facility

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. (illness) returned to the team's facility on Friday and is back in meetings after he missed time this week with a gastrointestinal issue. Haskins remains off the fantasy radar, though, after being demoted to the third-string QB behind Kyle Allen and Alex Smith. It remains unclear if Haskins […]

Brandon Aiyuk Tough To Trust In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has some clear long-term fantasy appeal, but he's in a bit of a tough spot this week. The 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. The Rams have allowed just 197.8 passing yards per game this year, the second-fewest in the league. Meanwhile, 49ers starting quarterback […]

Colts-Bengals On Schedule For Sunday

The Indianapolis Colts COVID-19 tests have come back clean and their game against the Bengals in Week 6 on Sunday remains on schedule, according to owner Jim Irsay.

Deebo Samuel A Risky WR3/Flex Option In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had a disappointing stat-line in Week 5, catching just two passes for 19 yards. However, there were some very promising signs behind those numbers. He had eight targets in the game, which were tied for most on the team along with George Kittle. He also saw 57 snaps, […]

Robby Anderson Proving To Be More Than A Deep Threat

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is off to the best start of his NFL career in his first year with the Panthers. And he's no longer just a deep threat because of his elite speed, but a complete wide receiver. Anderson ranks third among receivers with 36 catches entering Week 6, and he's fourth […]

Kendrick Bourne Not A Week 6 Starting Option

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne scored his first touchdown of the year in Week 5. He was one of the few bright spots in the team's 43-17 Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Bourne currently leads all 49ers wide receivers with 227 receiving yards on the year, but that's mostly due to […]

La'Mical Perine To Have Much Bigger Role

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine will have a bigger role in the backfield alongside veteran Frank Gore now that Le'Veon Bell is out of town. "Perine's definitely going to get a bigger role. Frank, you're not going to lean on him as heavy a load. Getting Perine really involved is going to […]

Look For George Kittle To Bounce Back In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had a rough outing along with many of his offensive teammates in the team's 43-17 Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Kittle managed to catch just four of his eight targets for 44 yards in the game. This week, the 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams, who […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Not A Week 6 Starting Option

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (calf) is currently listed as questionable for the team's Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. He has missed multiple practices this week. If he's able to suit up for the game, he'd be the No. 3 running back on the team behind Raheem Mostert and […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Remains Away From Team

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) remains out of the building on Friday per the COVID-19 protocol. All Browns players and staff, including Beckham, tested negative for COVID-19 from Thursday's round of testing, according to a source. That's good news and means that OBJ should be able to play in Week 6 against […]

Jerick McKinnon A Risky Flex Play In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon had his first disappointing fantasy output of the year in Week 5. It was the first game in which he failed to score a touchdown and he managed just five total yards on three touches. Week 5 was a mess overall for the 49ers as they got demolished […]

Building an Optimal DFS Lineup: Hollywood Casino 400

The majority of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season has belonged to Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick. Don't expect anything different this weekend at Kansas Speedway, the first race in the Round of 8. Of course, having both Hamlin and Harvick on your DraftKings team is going to pay a hefty price, but in the […]

Falcons Cleared To Reopen Facilities

The Atlanta Falcons have been cleared by the league to reopen their facilities on Friday, according to a source. The Falcons held virtual workouts on Thursday after a positive COVID-19 test, but the result was to an assistant coach and not a player, so the team was taking all precautions. The Falcons had zero new […]

Raheem Mostert A Strong RB2 Option In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert looked fantastic in his return to action in Week 5, rushing for 90 yards on 11 carries while catching all three of his targets for 29 yards. This week, Mostert faces a tough matchup against a Los Angeles Rams team allowing just 106.4 rushing yards per game, the […]

Is JuJu Smith-Schuster Still a WR1?

In the last 10 seasons, only one man has been able to finish with more than 300 PPR points in fantasy leagues while playing wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers: Antonio Brown. The misunderstood and now much-maligned wideout did it six times from 2013 to 2018 without failing at it, getting between 307.3 points and 388.2 […]
