Jake Butt, Nick Vannett Must Step Up With Noah Fant Out

With Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) out for Monday night's game against the Patriots, Jake Butt and Nick Vannett could see more targets in the passing game. Because both Butt and Vannett could take turns alternating at the position, neither player is worth a look for fantasy managers in starting lineups. Butt has […]

Noah Fant Ruled Out For Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for the Monday night contest against the Patriots in Week 5. Fant scored in each of the first two weeks but has seen his yardage total drop in each consecutive week. However, he's been targeted 27 times in four […]

DaeSean Hamilton To Have Bigger Role In Week 5

Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton should be alongside Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick in three-receiver sets on Monday night against the Patriots with rookie K.J. Hamler (hamstring) ruled out. But even with tight end Noah Fant (ankle) also sidelined for this one, it might not amount to many looks for Hamilton, especially if quarterback […]

K.J. Hamler Ruled Out Against Patriots

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Patriots in Week 5. Hamler was injured in the Week 4 win over the Jets and wasn't targeted in the contest. The speedy rookie has only six receptions on 12 targets for […]

Tim Patrick Hoping To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick has been a surprise early in the season. He's stepped up with Courtland Sutton (knee) out for the season, and he could have another big game on Monday night against the Patriots with both tight end Noah Fant (ankle) and receiver K.J.

Jerry Jeudy Could Do Some Damage Against Patriots

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has been consistent through four games in his first NFL season. He hasn't gone over 62 yards in a single game yet, but he's had at least 55 yards in all four games and scored his first career touchdown in Week 4 on a nice 48-yard reception. Jeudy […]

Phillip Lindsay Returning After Three-Week Absence

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Patriots on Monday. Lindsay said his toe feels 100 percent. Melvin Gordon III remains the team's lead back, but Lindsay should eventually cut into his workload. The Broncos could ease […]

Melvin Gordon III Has A Lower Floor As RB2 Against Patriots

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had his best game of the season in Week 4 against the Jets, running the ball 23 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught two of his three targets for 11 yards. The performance was a combination of a great matchup and the fact that […]

Brett Rypien Could Get Another Start In Week 5

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien could be under center again in Week 5 on Monday night against the Patriots with Drew Lock (shoulder) questionable to play. As expected, Rypien was very up and down in his first career start against the Jets last week, going 19-for-31 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in […]

Drew Lock Questionable For Monday Night

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Patriots. Lock may have a better shot at returning with the game moving back a day due to COVID-19 concerns, but he'll still probably be a game-time decision. The second-year quarterback injured […]

Jets Activate Le'Veon Bell From Injured Reserve

The New York Jets activated running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday. In corresponding moves, the team signed offensive lineman Jimmy Murray to the active roster and elevated quarterback Mike White and defensive back Lamar Jackson from the practice squad. Linebacker Alec Ogletree and wide receiver Josh Malone were also released. Bell […]

Cam Newton, Stephon Gilmore Not Practicing Saturday

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore won't practice on Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19, but he ignored questions about who would start under center on Monday night against the Broncos if Newton isn't available for the second straight week. New England had no new […]

Cory Sandhagen In Need Of Big Win In Main Event

Cory Sandhagen (12-2) has a huge opportunity in front of him, needing a big rebound after dropping his last bout by first-round submission. Statistically, Sandhagen has a very high significant-strike rate, averaging 6.95 significant strikes per minute. His absorption rate is probably higher than he wants it to be at 4.08 significant strikes absorbed per […]

Marlon Moraes Can Re-Enter Title Picture With Huge Win

Marlon Moraes (23-6-1) can make a huge statement with a victory in the main event of Saturday's card. Magic has recorded a knockout in 10 of his 23 wins, along with six submissions.

J.K. Dobbins Looks To Get Back On Track

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins seemed to be poised for a breakout after a two-touchdown performance in Week 1. However, since then, he has trended downward, racking up only eight touches for 70 yards over the team's previous three contests. While he may have some more effective performances moving ahead, possibly against the Bengals […]

Gus Edwards May Continue To Get Touches

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has exceeded expectations in 2020 and is currently the team's most productive option out of the backfield, at least from a yardage standpoint. Despite Mark Ingram II and J.K. Dobbins having more rushing touchdowns, Edwards has a chance to rack up some yards on the ground, albeit not enough […]

Mark Ingram II A Risky Option Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II has been trending in the wrong direction in 2020. Despite finding the end zone twice on the year, he continues to concede carries to Lamar Jackson, the team's leading rusher, Gus Edwards, and rookie J.K. Dobbins. Fantasy managers who are in a jam in Week 5 against the […]

Gerrit Cole Dominates In Last 2020 Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole held the Rays to one run and three baserunners with nine strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings on Friday in Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Rays.

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my League of Legends DFS column!  Group C promised us plenty of mayhem, but in the end, I went 6-0 on predictions! Gen G bogged down a bit and didn't put up the points I needed even on a 3-0 day. Not bad for a group I had serious questions about, […]

How Sean McVay Keeps Screwing With Fantasy Teams

Remember the halcyon days of 2018, when the Los Angeles Rams offense was just so easy to predict? Jared Goff was a QB1. Todd Gurley II was an RB1.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross III (illness) is listed as doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Ravens. Ross was unable to practice each of the last two days.
