All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The bye weeks are starting to come in thick and fast as the 2020 season rolls along. This week the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans Saints, and Seattle Seahawks will be watching the games just like the rest of us, from […]

Kareem Hunt Limited Again Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (thigh) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Hunt should be able to face the Steelers on Sunday, barring some kind of setback. He had a season-high 20 carries for 72 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown last week against […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Will Look To Bounce Back In Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire will look to bounce back against the Bills in Week 6. The rookie struggled against the Raiders in 2 Week 5, but some of that can be attributed to the fact that the Chiefs were trailing and had to pass the ball for most of the second half. […]

Le'Veon Bell Signs One-Year Deal With Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back Le'Veon Bell to a one-year deal on Thursday just two days after he was released by the New York Jets. Bell sat out the 2018 season after three Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro nods with the Steelers and looked like a shell of his former self in […]

Adrian Peterson Misses Practice With Illness

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (illness) did not practice on Thursday. As far as we know, Peterson's illness isn't COVID-19-related, so he has a good chance of being active in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The Lions are coming off their bye week and AD had 11 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown […]

Tony Pollard Could See A Few More Touches In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard could see a few more touches in Week 6 and going forward with Andy Dalton under center. Starter Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott (ankle) essentially used to share rushing work, but with Prescott done for the year, Pollard could mix in a bit more to spell Elliott. Pollard saw […]

Ezekiel Elliott Could Be Even Better Without Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott remains a surefire RB1 and could even improve his fantasy production without Dak Prescott (ankle) in the lineup. Week 6 will be Andy Dalton's first start as Cowboys quarterback, and while he should be more than able to move the offense, he does not have the rushing talent that […]

Mike Davis A Must-Start Against Bears

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis takes on the Bears in Week 6. It's a mini-revenge game for Davis, who played in seven games for Chicago in 2019. The veteran should have the keys to Carolina's backfield for one more week, considering Christian McCaffrey (ankle) wasn't able to practice Wednesday and is looking doubtful at […]

Melvin Gordon III Returns To Practice Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III returned to practice on Thursday. Gordon was charged with driving under the influence earlier in the week, and head coach Vic Fangio is currently undecided on whether the team will allow Gordon to play in the Week 6 matchup with the Patriots. The NFL could also hand down […]

Jonathan Taylor Looks For Strong Performance Against Bengals

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has a good opportunity to put up a nice performance this week against the Bengals. Cincinnati currently ranks 15th against opposing running backs, but they are third worst in yards per carry, allowing over five yards a clip. Taylor has three touchdowns in four games since being named the […]

Boston Scott Not A Fantasy Option In Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a fantasy option in Week 6 lineups. In the past three games, Scott has only touched the ball six times. In Week 5, he carried the ball once for three yards and was not targeted in the passing game. Scott could have some nice fantasy value if […]

Miles Sanders Is A Decent Week 6 Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders is an OK option in fantasy lineups despite a tough Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Sanders made the box score look good last week with 11 carries for 80 yards and two touchdowns, but if not for a 74-yard touchdown run in the first half, he would […]

Dalvin Cook Misses Practice Again Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (groin) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Cook was feeling much better on Wednesday and considers himself day-to-day, but two missed practices so far this week doesn't bode well for him playing in Week 6 against the Falcons, especially since the team has their bye week […]

Bills Have Interest In Le'Veon Bell

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that the team has interest in signing running back Le'Veon Bell. "We always look into every situation, this being one of them. Trying to improve our football team -- that's all I can say right now," McDermott said. Bell is reportedly deciding between the Bills, Chiefs and Dolphins, […]

Le'Veon Bell To Choose Between Three Teams

Former New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell plans to sign with either the Dolphins, Chiefs or Bills, according to a source. Barring a change, Bell will decide on one of those teams as early as Thursday. If he were to land in Miami, he'd immediately get a chance to take out his frustrations on […]

Darrynton Evans Placed On Injured Reserve

The Tennessee Titans moved rookie running back Darrynton Evans (hamstring) to the short-term Injured Reserve on Thursday, which means he'll miss at least three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the Tuesday night win over the Bills. The team also activated defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons from the COVID-19 list. With Evans out for at […]

Falcons-Vikings Game Still On For Sunday

As of right now, the game between the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in Week 6 remains on schedule. A Falcons assistant coach was confirmed positive for COVID-19 this morning. Atlanta had the option to return to their facilities but decided to go virtual all day as a precaution. The plan is for […]

Kareem Hunt A Solid RB1 In Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt is off to an impressive start in 2020, having found the end zone six times in five contests. He will look to score again in Week 6's road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh boasts a tough rush defense that is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to […]

James Conner A High-End RB2 In Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has found the end zone in three straight contests in helping his team get off to a 4-0 start. Conner will look to score again in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland's defense has been solid against the run this season, ranking 11th in DVOA, but they have […]

Digging for Value in the New York Jets Backfield

It was a long time coming and finally it happened. The Jets wanted away from Le’Veon Bell and the feeling was certainly mutual. In a season marred by bad play and worse coaching, the Jets took another loss by releasing their prized free-agent signing from last season. In a total of 21 games on the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Has The Hot Hand In Rams Backfield

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson saw rookie teammate Cam Akers return from injury in Week 5, but he has the hot hand and should continue to serve as an RB2 for fantasy managers in Week 6. He's receiving the majority of the snaps right now, but more importantly, he's receiving the majority of the […]

Cam Akers Should See Increased Workload

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers is expected to see an increase in his workload in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he's still not going to be much more than a shaky RB3/flex in standard-sized leagues. In Week 5, he saw less than 20 percent of the snaps, and the […]

FAB Bidding - Week 6 Waiver Wire Targets

Crack that piggybank and recruit some reinforcements! Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB).

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 brought some key injuries and we lost the NE/DEN game (with BUF/TEN still up in the air). The biggest injury was Dak Prescott, who was carted off after suffering a compound ankle fracture, but we also saw Sammy Watkins and A.J. Green leave due to hamstring injuries alongside Diontae Johnson's back injury. Also, Dalvin […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

It seems the waiver wire is becoming more and more important with all the hectic scheduling changes, potential cancellations looming, and the presence of injuries. Managers will now have to deal with potential COVID-related game postponements along with the setbacks experienced by many players. As we head into Week 6, it’s important to start monitoring […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Todd Gurley II A Solid RB2 In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a worthy starter this week against Minnesota. The RB has offered minimal receiving value, but has seen at least 14 carries in all five games and posted a season-best 121 rushing yards last week. He also has four rushing touchdowns in the past three games. The Vikings […]

Aaron Jones Back On The RB1 Map For Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will be ready to roll in Week 6 against the Buccaneers after the team's bye week. Jones is off to a fantastic start this season, averaging an impressive 5.8 yards per carry with 509 all-purpose yards and six total touchdowns. He will go up against a Tampa Bay […]

Can D'Andre Swift Take The Next Step?

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift will face a Jaguars Defense in Week 6 that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing runners this season. The rookie endured a rough start to his season, dropping a game-winning touchdown in Week 1. Swift also has been unable to supplant veteran runner Adrian Peterson for […]

Adrian Peterson Has Favorable Matchup Against Jaguars

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson will have a favorable chance to post RB2 numbers in Week 6 against the Jaguars. Peterson has amassed only 245 rushing yards on the season but is posting a very respectable 4.5 yards per carry. He will continue to be the lead back for the Lions against a Jaguars […]
