Jason Peters May Have Suffered Torn Biceps

Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jason Peters (biceps) is believed to have suffered a torn biceps on Thursday against the Giants, although he told reporters after the game he was OK. Sources are saying that doctors are optimistic that Peters will be able to play through his injury, although an MRI exam is pending. Not many […]

Aaron Rodgers To Practice Friday

The plan is for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) to practice on Friday. The Packers continue to hold Rodgers out of practice early in the week, but he is getting his work in later in the week and continues to play through his knee injury on game days. He should be fine for […]

Stop The Slander - The Cleveland Browns Defense Is For Real

For years, the Cleveland Browns defense has been the source for punchlines as well as must-start designations for opposing fantasy football players. This year? Stop The Slander! The Browns defense is for real, and teams are feeling the hurt. The last three years, Cleveland has finished in the bottom four for team defense. From a […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 6)

With Week 5 coming to a close in record-breaking fashion, it is that time of week again to look at the most added and dropped players from the waiver wire leading up to week 6. But before we do, as always allow me to share some statistics from the previous week. Adam Thielen is the […]

Joe Flacco A Low-End QB2 In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has been slinging the ball around at a career-high rate this season. Flacco, on pace to set a personal high in attempts, has thrown the second most passes in 2018 with 227. However, he is coming off the worst game of the current campaign in Week 5, as he completed […]

Blake Bortles Has Upside In Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 430 yards against the Chiefs in Week 5, but he also threw four interceptions on a day where fantasy owners were much happier with the Jacksonville quarterback than Jaguars fans were. Bortles has another chance to put up strong fantasy numbers against the Cowboys on Sunday, a team […]

Carson Wentz Tosses Three Touchdowns in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz completed 26 of his 36 pass attempts for 278 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran the ball twice for 14 yards. Wentz looked like his pre-injury self in this one, and should be back for good after some struggles in Weeks 3 and 4. He'll be a QB1 going […]

Deshaun Watson Should See Success Against Bills

Despite only allowing two passing touchdowns over the past three games, the Buffalo Bills defense shouldn't be too much of a barrier this week for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has thrown for 375 or more yards in three consecutive games for Houston. Watson's rushing ability contributes to his upside, as he's currently averaging […]

Jason Peters Injured Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jason Peters (biceps) left the game early on Thursday against the Giants and is out for the rest of the game. With the Eagles up big in the second half, there was no reason to bring him back and risk further injury. Peters was getting manhandled by Giants defensive end Olivier […]

Marcus Mariota Has Tough Week 6 Matchup

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota faces a tough test in Week 6 as the Baltimore Ravens are set to travel to Nashville. Mariota is coming off of a poor performance in Buffalo, throwing for only 129 yards and no touchdowns. While we are likely to see more production than that this week, expect Mariota to […]

Jameis Winston is a QB1 Against Atlanta

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is starting for the first time this season on Sunday and he will likely want to make an impression. The fourth-year QB has been stuck at home watching Ryan Fitzpatrick do his job for most of this season and finally gets the chance to show why he was drafted first overall. […]

Tough Week Ahead For Alex Smith

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith will captain a banged-up offense at home against Carolina on Sunday. The list of Redskins with injury concerns heading into the matchup includes Adrian Peterson (shoulder), Chris Thompson (ribs), Josh Doctson (heel), Paul Richardson (knee), and Jamison Crowder (ankle). A lot of Smith's Week 6 value is tied directly to […]

Jared Goff Looks To Get Back on Track

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not perform as expected in Week 5, but it was not all his fault. Goff lost two of his best receivers to concussions last week. Goff was still able to throw for over 300 yards, but did throw two interceptions as well. This week he'll face off against […]

Broncos Supporting Vance Joseph

Denver Broncos chief executive officer Joe Ellis said the team is supporting head coach Vance Joseph as they look to turn the team around after finishing 5-11 last year. After back-to-back wins to open the season, Denver has now lost three straight and face the 5-0 Rams in Week 6. "They know the deal. They […]

Despite Distractions, Aaron Rodgers a Strong Start in Week 6

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) has had a turbulent week leading up to a Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers. Coach Mike McCarthy has faced criticism for his offensive scheme. Much of this criticism has stemmed from apparent frustration coming from Rodgers himself. Additionally, Rodgers is still dealing with a knee injury […]

Taylor Lewan Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lewan should be able to play in Week 6 against the Ravens. He's one of the NFL's best left tackles, so him being on the field is always good news for quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Patrick Mahomes Has Easier Week 6 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes failed to throw a touchdown for the first time this season during the Week 5 victory over Jacksonville. Mahomes was picked off twice, but still finished the game with over 300 passing yards. He heads into a matchup with the Patriots that have allowed 11 passing touchdowns this season. […]

Matt Kalil On Track To Return Nov. 4

Carolina Panthers left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) said he's on track to resume practicing next week and return on Nov. 4 to face the Buccaneers. His knee is feeling stronger and his rehab from a knee scope has gone well. Kalil is one of the better left tackles in the NFL when healthy, so quarterback […]

Josh Rosen A QB2 Against Vikings

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen should be considered a low-end QB2 in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Rosen has a rough matchup against one of the better defenses in the NFL, and given his previous performances we should not expect huge numbers from the young signal-caller. Rosen should not be started outside of […]

Anthony Castonzo Expects To Debut In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) continues to be cautious after having multiple setbacks with his injury, but he fully expects to make his season debut in Week 6 against the Jets. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time this year. It'd be great for quarterback Andrew Luck […]

Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 6

Week 5 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. There were some familiar names leading the way at quarterback, with Aaron Rodgers at the top with 28.7 FPs, followed by Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Andrew Luck, and Ben Roethlisberger to […]

Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison In Rehab Group

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring) are all working with the rehab group on Thursday. Allison is out of the concussion protocol. The one thing we do know is that Rodgers should be fine to play. He'll remain a high-end QB1 in a […]

Kirk Cousins A Top-10 QB Option In Week 6

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been exceptional to start the 2018 season. He ranks second in the league with 1688 passing yards to go along with an 11/2 TD/INT ratio. Cousins will face off against a strong Arizona Cardinals' secondary in Week 6, but the Vikings' passing game has been unstoppable lately. Cousins has […]

Buy or Sell? Week 6 Trade Advice

One of the toughest parts of fantasy football to navigate is trading with league-mates. As a result of the unique characteristics of every person in a fantasy football league, it is often difficult to find a strategy for trading players that works for everyone in any situation. Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps […]

Is Andrew Luck an Elite Fantasy QB Again?

It is obvious to see. Andrew Luck does not have his entire arm strength back since his 18-month absence from the NFL. It was on display Week 3 against the Eagles when he was removed from the game on a last-second Hail Mary attempt. Then in Weeks 4 and 5, we see him throw the […]

Defenses to Stream Against with Confidence

A football player is only as good as his matchup. For players on the fringes of fantasy rosters, that proves to be true more often than not. Take Blake Bortles, who has an average of 25.82 points per game (standard, four-point per passing touchdown) against weak pass defenses, such as the Chiefs, Patriots, and Jets. […]

Redskins' Offensive Line Dealing With Several Injuries

Washington Redskins offensive guards Shawn Lauvao (calf) and Brandon Scherff (knee) were estimated to be limited participants in Wednesday's walk-through practice, while offensive tackle Trent Williams (knee) was also listed as limited due to his knee ailment. The offensive line is a MASH unit right now, and that's not good for the fantasy outlooks of […]

Despite Lack of Weapons, Start Andrew Luck in Week 6

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is the first quarterback in NFL history to throw 59 times or more in back-to-back games, and fantasy owners should expect more of the same volume when the team takes on the New York Jets in Week 6. Although it looks unlikely that wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and tight end […]

Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, David Moore Practice In Full

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) and wide receivers Doug Baldwin (knee) and David Moore (rib) all practiced in full on Wednesday. They will all play in Week 6 against the Raiders in a solid matchup. However, Seattle has passed the ball fewer than any team in the NFL in the last three weeks, which […]
