Jameis Winston - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is not a strong starting option against Washington in Week 5.

Kirk Cousins Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has all the makings to finish as a top option at the position in Week 5. Cousins has flown under the radar this season, for the most part, doing so despite stringing together some potent fantasy performances. The 33-year-old is currently in the midst of one of the best campaigns […]

Taylor Heinicke A Streaming Option In Week 5

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke has the look of a solid streaming option in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints.

Amari Cooper Questionable In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the New York Giants. Cooper is expected to be active on Sunday, but it is worth keeping an eye on as he has been held out or limited at practice leading up to game day. The 27-year-old hasn't gotten a […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Not Practicing Again

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) was once again absent from practice on Friday.

The former Jet will face an Eagles […]

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will face a tough task in a Week 5 matchup versus the Buffalo Bills.

Josh Allen An Elite Option Versus Chiefs

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been fairly average through the first four games of the season. Although, he has thrown multiple touchdowns in three of his first four contests.

Alex Leatherwood Working At Right Guard

Las Vegas Raiders rookie offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood was working at right guard in practice on Thursday, with Brandon Parker at right tackle. Leatherwood, a surprise first-round pick, struggled in his first four games at right tackle by allowing four sacks and 18 pressures. The Raiders will be hoping for better results with the move […]

Carson Wentz's Ankles Improving

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday to start the week. A full practice to begin the week is a good sign that Wentz's ankles are improving after he sprained both ankles in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The former Philadelphia Eagle […]

Daniel Jones A Borderline QB1 In Week 5

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been a top-seven fantasy QB in the past three weeks and will look to continue his strong play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.

Ben Roethlisberger Practices On Thursday
