Eagles Defense A Decent Option In Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is a decent fantasy option in Week 5 lineups. The Eagles defense excelled in Week 4, sacking the quarterback five times, recovering a fumble, intercepting two passes, and scoring a touchdown. They'd come into the game without forcing any turnovers for the season. Going against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5, […]

Jake Elliott Just OK As A Week 5 Kicker

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is just OK as a kicking option in fantasy lineups in Week 5. Elliott has been solid and consistent this season, but the Eagles offense just isn't giving him enough chances to score points. Most fantasy leagues will have higher-upside options available on the waiver wire. Elliott has made seven […]

Zach Ertz Has A Tough Matchup In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz has a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5. His toughest matchup, however, may be having to play in the Eagles offense. Ertz caught four passes last week, gaining just nine yards total despite playing without Dallas Goedert (ankle). While it's possible Ertz's best days are behind […]

Steelers Defense A Quality Option In Week 5

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 5. Pittsburgh boasts one of the top defenses in the league and will face off against an Eagles offense that is tied for first in the NFL with nine giveaways. The Steelers are installed as seven-point home favorites in a game […]

Stephon Gilmore Says He's Asymptomatic

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore confirmed that he is asymptomatic after testing positive for COVID-19 this week. Gilmore is also claiming that he followed all of the league's COVID-19 protocols prior to testing positive. Because of the positive test, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year won't practice with the team on Wednesday and […]

DeSean Jackson Likely Too Risky To Start In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and will likely be listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson will be way too risky to start in most formats even if he gets the go-ahead from the Eagles medical team. The Eagles passing game has been struggling […]

No Practice For Julio Jones Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was not at practice on Wednesday after aggravating his hamstring injury in the Monday night loss to the Packers. Jones came down awkwardly during a tackle in Week 4 and didn't return to the game after halftime. On a short week, the 31-year-old All-Pro wideout will be fighting […]

Alshon Jeffery Could Make His 2020 Debut In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) is questionable for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jeffery was questionable for Week 4 as well before ultimately being held out, but he seems to have a better chance to suit up this week. With the Eagles desperate for any warm bodies that can catch footballs, Jeffery […]

Eric Ebron A TE2 In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron is coming off his best game of the season, which saw him catch five catches for 52 yards and a score against the Houston Texans in Week 3. He will look to keep rolling in Week 5 when he takes on the Philadelphia Eagles at home. The Eagles have […]

Diontae Johnson A Low-End WR2 In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. Johnson was knocked out of his team's Week 3 win over the Houston Texans and finished without a catch. He will slot back in as the team's lead wide receiver in a decent […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Solid Play In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 5 after a surprise bye last week. Smith-Schuster has been relying on touchdowns for his fantasy scoring thus far, scoring three times on just 17 receptions. He draws a plus matchup against the Eagles this weekend as Philly's […]

John Hightower Not An Exciting Week 5 Choice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower doesn't make for an exciting Week 5 fantasy option. Despite a lack of bodies in the Eagles wide receiving room, Hightower only came up with two catches last week. While he may be slightly more involved this week, the Eagles face a tough Steelers pass rush in a […]

Greg Ward A Deep League Option Only In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward is only a fantasy option in very deep leagues for Week 5. The Eagles are facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. Carson Wentz has been struggling regardless of his opponents, so this one could get ugly pretty quickly. Ward should be heavily targeted, […]

Boston Scott Not A Week 5 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a fantasy option in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Scott only touched the ball twice on offense in the win against the San Francisco 49ers, and likely won't be that much more involved in Week 5 either. Scott is playing far behind starter Miles […]

Miles Sanders Has A Tough Week 5 Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has a tough matchup in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sanders firstly has to deal with a struggling Eagles offense all around him, but then he's also staring at a very strong running defense going against him. Sanders is usually involved in the passing game, so […]

Senators Acquire Matt Murray

The Ottawa Senators have acquired goaltender Matt Murray in exchange for prospect Jonathan Gruden and a second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

Carson Wentz Not A Strong Option In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was just a tiny bit better in Week 4 but still hasn't shown enough to be a viable starting option in standard leagues for Week 5 lineups. The Steelers Defense has held 15 of the last 16 opposing quarterbacks to fewer than 7.6 yards per attempt, making Wentz's floor perhaps […]

James Conner A Solid Option In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has found the end zone in two straight games. Conner will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 5 after enjoying his bye in Week 4.

The Washington Football Team is making a change under center heading into Week 5 against the Rams. Quarterback Kyle Allen will get the start, while Dwayne Haskins Jr. will head to the bench.
