A.J. Brown Misses Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) missed practice on Thursday. Brown returned to game action last weekend for the first time since Week 1 and didn't miss a beat, catching seven passes for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Bills. The Titans are likely easing Brown back into the practice week after he […]

Kareem Hunt Limited Again Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (thigh) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Hunt should be able to face the Steelers on Sunday, barring some kind of setback. He had a season-high 20 carries for 72 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown last week against […]

Jarvis Landry Misses Another Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip, ribs) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Landry will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a chance at facing the Steelers in Week 6. The matchup is a good one, too, as Pittsburgh has given up the fifth-most […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Gets In A Limited Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. Unless he suffers a setback later this week, Shenault should be good to go in Week 6 against the Lions. The impressive rookie has seen his role expand in an offense that loves to […]

D.J. Chark Jr., Tyler Eifert Missing From Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) and tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) were both missing from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Chark is now in jeopardy of missing the Week 6 matchup against the Lions. If he's out this weekend, rookie Laviska Shenault Jr., Keelan Cole and Chris Conley would operate […]

Tyreek Hill Seeks Touchdown In Sixth Straight Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill will look to score a touchdown for the sixth consecutive game in Week 6 versus the Buffalo Bills. The Bills Defense has been pretty solid versus opposing wide receivers this season and have only allowed Jamison Crowder and Cooper Kupp to surpass the 100-yard mark. The Bills have […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Will Look To Bounce Back In Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire will look to bounce back against the Bills in Week 6. The rookie struggled against the Raiders in 2 Week 5, but some of that can be attributed to the fact that the Chiefs were trailing and had to pass the ball for most of the second half. […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Continue Strong Season In Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will look to take advantage of a tired Buffalo Bills Defense in Week 6. The Bills played on Tuesday and won’t have much time to game plan against the strongest offense in the league and former MVP. Mahomes continues to be one of the best overall option in weekly […]

Travis Kelce Should Continue To Produce In Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Buffalo Bills in what should be a favorable matchup in Week 6. The Bills will have their hands full against the Chiefs offense and Kelce should benefit versus a defense that is allowing 7.8 catches and 83.6 yards to opposing tight ends. Kelce has continued […]

Le'Veon Bell Signs One-Year Deal With Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back Le'Veon Bell to a one-year deal on Thursday just two days after he was released by the New York Jets. Bell sat out the 2018 season after three Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro nods with the Steelers and looked like a shell of his former self in […]

Chan Sung Jung Ready For Saturday's Main Event

Chan Sung Jung, also known as the Korean Zombie, has looked great since his return from his mandatory two-year military service back in his homeland of South Korea. He has competed in the Octagon four times since then and has a record of 3-1. The lone loss was to Yair Rodriguez, which came on a […]

Brian Ortega Hoping For A Big Win

Brian Ortega (14-1) returns to the Octagon after a near two-year layoff. Coming off of his first career loss, how will Ortega respond? Thus far in his UFC career, Ortega has landed 4.07 significant strikes per minute. The problem may come from his absorption rate, which sits at 7.36 significant strikes absorbed per minute. T-City […]

Katlyn Chookagian Welcomes Tough Test In Flyweight Division

Katlyn Chookagian (14-3) is welcoming an extremely tough newcomer to the division in Jessica Andrade in Saturday's co-main event. Chookagian uses her strikes to keep opponents away and usually goes the distance, winning 11 of her 14 bouts by decision. It will be vital to keep Andrade at bay, because if her opponent can keep […]

Jessica Andrade Moves Up To Flyweight In Co-Main Event

Jessica Andrade (20-8) moves up to the flyweight division with a chance to move into the title picture if she can get past Katlyn Chookagian. Andrade is a finisher, with 14 of her 20 career wins coming by knockout or submission. The former strawweight champion has lost her last two bouts in a row, but […]

Jimmy Crute Looking To Stay Hot

Jimmy Crute (11-1) rebounded well from his submission loss to Misha Cirkunov by submitting Michal Oleksiejczuk in February. Eight of Crute's 11 wins have come by finish, splitting the knockout-to-submission ratio. Crute is a Contender Series winner from 2018 who has gone 3-1 since fighting inside the Octagon. DraftKings has the Brute listed at $9,000. […]

Modestas Bukauskas Looks To Continue Finishing Streak

Modestas Bukauskas (11-2) will look to go 2-0 inside the Octagon and continue his seven-fight finishing streak. Bukauskas has finished 10 of his 11 victories, with his lone decision victory coming in his professional debut. The Baltic Gladiator only earned 18 significant strikes in his last bout, but the bout only lasted one round. The […]

Cowboys Defense Still Not A Fantasy Option In Week 6

The Dallas Cowboys Defense had their best performance in Week 5, but they're still not a strong fantasy option in Week 6 lineups. The Cowboys will take on the Arizona Cardinals and are ranked somewhere in the mid-20s among fantasy defensive units. Last week, they allowed a season-low 28 points and scored a defensive touchdown. […]

Greg Zuerlein A Good Choice For Week 6 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a good choice for Week 6 fantasy lineups, coming in ranked in the top-half of K1s. Zuerlein has made eight of his nine field goal tries and 13 of his 15 extra point tries. While the two missed extra points may stand out, it's likely a flukey small sample […]

Dalton Schultz Tough To Trust In Week 6 Despite A Good Matchup

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is hard to trust in fantasy starting lineups in Week 6. Even in a matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, who allow plenty of points to opposing tight ends, Schultz is a risky start because of his recent usage. He ran 29 pass routes in Week 5, but ended up […]

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 […]
