Deshaun Watson Should Bounce Back In Week 5

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson failed to throw a touchdown against the Panthers in Week 4, but he should have more success when Houston hosts the Falcons in Week 5. Atlanta has allowed seven passing touchdowns so far this season and have allowed the second-most rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks as well. Watson's got a big […]

Case Keenum Back At Practice, Vernon Davis Still Out

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) was limited in practice on Thursday, while tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) sat out for the second straight day. Keenum was in a walking boot on Wednesday, but the Redskins still aren't ruling him out for Week 5 against the Patriots after he was benched for poor performance in […]

Bengals Hoping Cordy Glenn Returns Soon

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) is still being evaluated by independent doctors for his concussion, but head coach Zac Taylor said the team is hopeful that Glenn will play soon. Andy Dalton's blind-side protector is unlikely to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals, but the offensive line needs him back as soon […]

Mitch Trubisky, Taylor Gabriel Miss Practice

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. With the Bears having their bye in Week 6, neither Trubisky nor Gabriel are expected to suit up in Week 5 in London against the Raiders. Gabriel also sat out in Week 4 […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Mid-Tier QB2 Against Giants

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins looks to be a decent QB2 option in Week 5. The Vikings will face off with the New York Giants on the road as 4.5-point favorites, so there's a good chance that Cousins will need to throw as long as it stays a close contest. He hasn't played well in […]

Jacoby Brissett A QB2 in Week 5

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the NFL this season. In Week 5, against the Kansas City Chiefs, he's a high-end QB2 with QB1 upside. On the year, he's QB 9 in total fantasy points. In two out the Chiefs' four games, they've allowed quarterbacks, including Jacksonville […]

Aaron Rodgers Could Struggle Against Dallas

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could struggle on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are one of the better teams against the quarterback so far this season, giving up an average of 12.3 points to the position, although that is partially due to the schedule of quarterbacks they have faced. However, the largest […]

Andy Dalton Looks For First Win Of The Year

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton will look to lead his team to its first victory of the season against Arizona on Sunday. While the Cardinals Defense hasn't really made any waves this season, the veteran signal-caller will look to make some noise without wideouts John Ross (shoulder) or A.J. Green (foot) in addition to playing […]

Josh Allen Still In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Thursday. Allen has done non-contact work at practice this week, but he's not quite there yet. That could come on Friday, but he's definitely questionable to play in Week 5 against the Titans. Even if he does play, Allen will be more […]

Matt Ryan Poised For A Big Game In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is second in the NFL in passing yards through four weeks, trailing only the great Patrick Mahomes. Ryan's thrown for over 300 yards in each game, including a season-high 397 yards against the Titans in Week 4. He has an uncharacteristic six interceptions through four games, which has compromised his […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 5) - Targets and Avoids

Week 4 was finally a week where the underdogs came through. More than a quarter of entries in pools were knocked out thanks to the Rams, Colts,  Texans and Ravens all losing. My survivor plays were 4-2 last Sunday, as I managed to avoid the Texans and Ravens, with their opponents, the Panthers and Browns, […]

Under-The-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 5

One month of the NFL regular season is in the books! I hope for your sake you have been using more booms than busts in your fantasy football lineups. The best news for fantasy players this week is that the lowly Miami Dolphins are on bye. If you have been using Josh Rosen, Kenyan Drake, […]

Air Arians' Offense Is Taking Off

Coming into the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were expected to have one of the top offenses in the NFL. Through the first two weeks, they averaged just 15.5 points. Over the last two weeks though, they've turned things around to average 43 points following an explosive performance in L.A. Behind the Kansas City Chiefs […]

Unpacking the Fantasy Value in Green Bay

The Green Bay Packers were hit hard by injuries in their Week 4 loss to the Eagles. First, the team’s No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams was taken off the field on a stretcher after a vicious late hit at the beginning of the game. Then, the team’s No. 1 receiver Davante Adams left the […]

Jared Goff Remains A QB2 Ahead Of Week 5

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff found himself in the record books after a Week 4 55-40 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; he completed 45 passes on an absurd 68 attempts (third most in NFL history) for 517 passing yards and two TDs. While this stat line looks extraordinary, as with most of Goff’s […]

Jameis Winston A Solid Week 5 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is in a good position in Week 5 to continue putting up solid fantasy numbers with the New Orleans Saints on deck. Winston has surpassed 380 passing yards in each of the past two weeks, and with the Saints Defense giving up 1,117 passing yards through the first four […]

Derek Carr Benchable For Week 5

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will have his work cut out for him this weekend in a difficult matchup versus the Bears. It'll be the first time that he'll face ex-teammate Khalil Mack who leads the league in QB pressures (22), and who is a part of a defensive unit who has held opposing quarterbacks […]

Russell Wilson Could Have A Big Thursday Night

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is coming off a fairly standard game on Sunday, but he could be in for a big night on Thursday. Wilson is facing a Rams secondary that just allowed Jameis Winston to put up 385 yards and four TDs through the air, so there's certainly an opportunity for Wilson to […]

Redskins Could Wait Until Game Time To Announce Week 5 QB

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said he might not make a decision on who the starting quarterback is for Week 5 against the Patriots "until 1 pm on Sunday." Case Keenum (foot) was in a walking boot on Wednesday, so he's unlikely to play this weekend, especially after being benched early in Week 4. […]

Case Keenum In Walking Boot Wednesday

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) had a walking boot on his right foot on Wednesday. As a result, Colt McCoy and rookie Dwayne Haskins are splitting the repetitions at practice. Keenum seems doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Patriots, especially after he was benched early in the Week 4 loss. Haskins took […]

Digging Deeper Into Quarterback Data - NFL NextGen Stats

I can't believe it. Months of waiting, painful empty weekends, and now a quarter of the NFL season is suddenly gone! But I'm not going to lie, I love the moment when the whistle blows to end the week on Monday nights. It is just the confirmation that we have another full round of data […]

Fantasy Football Injuries - Stash 'Em or Drop 'Em?

Fantasy players are generally impatient sorts. That’s not a criticism, just a reality. There are only 13 regular season matchups and the results of every game feel so heavily magnified. Owners always want to improve their team, and they want to improve it now! So naturally, many fantasy owners don’t have the endurance or composure […]

Carson Wentz a Strong Option in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a strong fantasy option in Week 5. The Eagles will take on the New York Jets at home and should have little trouble moving the ball against them. Wentz is coming off a three-touchdown performance against a strong Green Bay Packers Defense, and could have a similar or even […]

Gardner Minshew Lands On Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew (knee) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Doug Marrone said the team is being careful with Minshew's knee. The Jaguars are just being cautious here with the rookie, so we'd fully expect him to suit up in Week 5 against the Panthers. Minshew hasn't made many […]

Sam Darnold Will Practice Wednesday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) will practice on Wednesday and "see how it goes," according to head coach Adam Gase. The Jets are taking it day-to-day with Darnold, and he still hasn't been cleared for contact. It's not a lock that he returns in Week 5 to face the porous and injured Eagles […]

Josh Allen Remains In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (head) remains in the league's concussion protocol and will do some individual work at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen must be cleared from the protocol to have a chance at playing in a tough matchup this Sunday against the Titans on the road. He's shaping […]

Dak Prescott Has a Tough Matchup in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Coming off a game in which he struggled against the Saints last week, Prescott gets a strong Packers secondary and pass rush to deal with this week. He's still a QB1 in fantasy, but he's more in the […]
