Taylor Heinicke Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

The Washington Football team and their young QB will face a 31st-ranked DVOA pass defense this week when the Kansas City Chiefs come to town. Even if you think the Chiefs handle WFT, there's plenty of reason to think that Heinicke can put up some nice numbers here with some of the talent he has […]

Kirk Cousins Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Cousins is on the road against the Carolina Panthers defense that has given up the fewest passing yards per game (161.6) and the third-fewest yards per attempt (6.3) When considering the run-heavy playbook of the Minnesota offense, there could simply not be enough volume in the passing game to feel confident with Cousins in your […]

Carson Wentz - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

I have a lot of respect for one of Pat McAfee’s favorite quarterbacks. Wentz works his butt off to make plays with his sprained ankles and his arm, and although he might put himself in harm’s way as often as Travis Pastrana and could suffer another season-ending injury sooner rather than later. Using him now […]

Joe Burrow - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Joe is having an excellent start to his sophomore campaign and has been impressive despite coming off a major injury last season that many thought might hamper him this year. The Bengals backfield situation is a mess as Joe Mixon was just downgraded and Samaje Perine has already been ruled out. While I am sure the Bengals will still […]

Marcus Mariota Removed From Injured Reserve

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Marcus Mariota (quad) has been removed from the injured reserve. He has missed each of the last four games after suffering an injury on the first play of the regular season. Mariota should be available for the Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos. It wouldn't be surprising to see Mariota […]

Trade your Studs?

I debated writing this article and risking my reputation as a super famous sportswriter by suggesting such a controversial strategy. But then I realized without risk, like grabbing Ja’Marr Chase in the sixth round, there is no glory. Back to the topic at hand, I will pose this question, “Is depth more valuable than star players […]

Cam Newton Vaccinated And Still Eyeing A Return

Former New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is now fully vaccinated and is still looking to find a team in 2021, according to sources. The topic of Newton not being vaccinated was a big topic of discussion in the preseason when he was still a member of the Patriots after he was forced to miss […]

Tua Tagovailoa Activated From IR, On Track To Start

The Miami Dolphins officially activated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) off Injured Reserve on Saturday, and he is on track to start in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Dolphins also elevated wide receivers Isaiah Ford and Kirk Merritt from the practice squad to the active roster for this weekend's game. Tagovailoa returned […]

College football addicts and DFS degenerates unite! It's not over until we say it is! These late night tournaments on DraftKings have been […]

Mac Jones - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has failed to impress over the first five games of the season. He has posted one multi-touchdown game, but has only surpassed the 280-yard mark once through five contests. The rookie quarterback will now head into a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys defense. Normally, the Cowboys defense wouldn't […]

Aaron Rodgers - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown exactly two touchdowns in three straight games and is coming off his first 300-yard effort in last Sunday's Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The future Hall of Famer gets divisional rival the Chicago Bears in Week 6. Chicago has allowed the fifth-fewest points to quarterbacks […]

Teddy Bridgewater - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and the offense will be looking to carry over their fourth-quarter success in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers into a Week 6 meeting with the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. The Broncos scored 13 points on 10 first downs and 205 yards of total offense in comeback mode in the […]

Kliff Kingsbury Tests Positive For COVID-19

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss the Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Quarterbacks coach Cam Turner and defensive lineman Zach Allen also tested positive and will be out this weekend. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who has head-coaching experience from his time in Denver, […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Will Play Sunday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) were both removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. Hopkins missed two practices this week with a non-COVID-19-related illness, but he was back on Friday and is good to go. Murray dealt with a right shoulder issue […]

Joe Burrow Ready To Play In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (throat) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the Detroit Lions. Burrow suffered a throat contusion in the Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but it turned out to […]

Derek Carr - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a very tough task ahead of him with his team visiting the Denver Broncos in Week 6. The 30-year-old signal-caller went without a touchdown pass in last week's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears, completing 22-of-35 passes for 206 yards with one interception in the defeat. In addition […]

Sam Darnold - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is a QB2 option, at best, in Week 6 against the Vikings. Darnold started off the season hot but has cooled down in the last couple of weeks, throwing three touchdowns to five picks. Last week, he threw for a season-low 177 yards. The QB was never the most consistent […]

Russell Wilson Placed On Injured Reserve

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) was placed on injured reserve, making him first available in Week 10. This shouldn't come as a surprise as Wilson is reportedly targeting a Week 10 return. If needed Wilson can be dropped in fantasy leagues as there are nine other extremely viable quarterbacks and intriguing weekly flyers every […]

Daniel Jones Removed From Injury Report

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) was removed from the injury report on Friday. Jones took a nasty hit in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys but has made great progress throughout the week and will be ready to start Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. The young signal-caller still has many questions […]

Rookies Ready To Break Out and WR Trade Targets: Engel Eye

After five weeks of fantasy football results in 2021, we have now adjusted expectations on many players. We will be looking for increased output from guys like Cooper Kupp and Dawson Knox on a regular basis. You may have come to grips with decreased production from players such as Allen Robinson and Miles Sanders. There […]

Justin Herbert - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will look to continue his strong sophomore campaign with a matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. Showing no signs of a sophomore slump, Herbert has thrown for 1576 yards to go along with 13 touchdowns and three interceptions on the season. The Ravens defense has really struggled […]

Patrick Mahomes - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will have a dream matchup versus the Washington Football Team in Week 6. The star quarterback has struggled with turnovers over his last four games and has six interceptions over that span, but he has still been valuable to managers with 16 passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown on […]

Taylor Heinicke - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke has the look of a great streaming option against the lackluster Kansas City defense in Week 6. The Chiefs have given up the fourth-most passing yards to this point, so Heinicke will likely have a solid day through the air. When you pair this with his upside for rushing […]

Trevon Diggs To Be Game-Time Decision

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 6 against the New England Patriots, while left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) had a "favorable" MRI exam on Thursday. Diggs is the top-scoring fantasy IDP defensive back with six interceptions in the first five games, but fantasy managers in IDP leagues will […]

Lamar Jackson Returns To Practice Friday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) returned to practice on Friday. Jackson gave fantasy managers a little scare on Thursday when he wasn't seen at practice, but he was dealing with a non-COVID-19-related illness and is on track to play in the Week 6 showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers. The 24-year-old could draw a […]

Daniel Jones To Practice In Full, Appears Ready To Play

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) is expected to be a full practice participant on Friday and "appears" ready to play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams after suffering a concussion in the Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to head coach Joe Judge. The final hurdle will be Jones […]
