NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Two undefeated teams (and one winless team) remain as Week 6 of the NFL season begins. It's not always that clear-cut, however. Some one-loss teams have looked shaky. A few teams with two losses or more are presumably better than their record shows. And, somehow, the Steelers are atop the AFC North. Each week of […]

Tyquan Thornton Questionable To Make Season Debut

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) is listed as questionable to make his season debut in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Thornton practiced in a limited capacity all week, and the Patriots are hopeful that the second-year wideout will be active on Sunday, especially with both JuJu Smith-Schuster and rookie Demario […]

Demario Douglas Won't Play In Week 6

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) has been ruled out for the Week 6 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders in Sin City on Sunday. JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) was also ruled out, leaving an already struggling offense without some key weapons in their receiving corps this weekend. Kendrick Bourne and DeVante Parker […]

Juju Smith-Schuster Ruled Out For Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots will be without both Smith-Schuster and Demario Douglas (concussion) for Sunday's game. That means, DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne are likely to play bigger roles in the passing game. Smith-Schuster […]

Should I Drop Skyy Moore? Fantasy Football Outlook

Patrick Mahomes is a top-6 quarterback in fantasy football heading into Week 6. Only one Chiefs' wide receiver sits in the top 50 in scoring in PPR formats. Wideout play in Kansas City has been inconsistent, at best. Drops have been a problem but playing time is the biggest deterrent to finding gold in one […]

Chad Ryland Not On Fantasy Radar In Week 6

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland can be avoided in fantasy leagues ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Initial concerns about the rookie's usage in a struggling offense have evolved to include questions surrounding his accuracy. Ryland is just 4-for-8 on field goals and has missed four attempts over the last three […]

Patriots Defense Tough To Trust In Week 6

The New England Patriots defense is not a very trustworthy option for fantasy football in Week 6. Though a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders could be tempting for fantasy managers, there are two factors that serve as deterrents. First, the Patriots' defense has endured its fair share of struggles already, and that was before […]

Hunter Henry Drops To TE2 Tier For Week 6

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is difficult to trust in fantasy football ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite a hot start that saw Henry rank as the fantasy TE2 through the first two weeks, he has quieted down dramatically and even left Week 5 with zero catches. Although the […]

DeVante Parker Lacks Upside In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker lacks big-play upside and should be avoided in fantasy football as he faces the Las Vegas Raiders. While Vegas' secondary is suspect at best, Parker's age and role in the struggling New England offense have limited his production this season. Despite playing a whopping 98 percent of snaps […]

Kendrick Bourne Only Has Appeal In Deep Leagues

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has low-end fantasy appeal heading into Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots' offense has been terrible lately, but perhaps clashes with the Jets, Cowboys, and Saints made New England look worse than it actually is. A matchup with the mediocre-at-best Raiders could give the Patriots […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has Low Floor In Week 6

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is difficult to trust in fantasy football leagues ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Elliott's only flash of fantasy relevance this season came against the Jets when he totaled 87 scrimmage yards. The Patriots' steady struggles on the offensive side of the ball make it […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Enters Pivotal Week 6

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is preparing for a Week 6 clash with the Las Vegas Raiders that will offer plenty of insight into his season-long value. The 24-year-old has struggled against the Jets, Cowboys, and Saints, but those are very difficult defenses. He has a chance to get things right on Sunday […]

Demario Douglas Trending In The Wrong Direction

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) also having not practiced at this week, the Patriots receiving corps could be extremely thin against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. Both wideouts are running out of time to clear the […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 6: Brock Purdy, Saquon Barkley, and Amari Cooper

Week 6 of the fantasy football season is underway and while we may have drafted certain players at a premium, it is okay to consider benching them despite their name value.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Remains Absent From Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) is missing practice for the third consecutive day this week. The seventh-year veteran is in the league's concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head in the Patriots' Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints. His status for Week 6 is in question, as he […]

Fantasy Football Tight End Preparation for Week 6

Through five weeks of NFL action, there are just five tight ends averaging at least 10 half-PPR PPG and three of them reside in the NFC North. Chicago, Detroit, and Minnesota all currently are supporting a top-five tight end. T.J. Hockenson in Minnesota is no surprise, but who could have predicted Cole Kmet and Sam […]

Last week, two of my four trade suggestions immediately panned out. Jaylen Waddle posted his […]

Tyquan Thornton Puts In A Limited Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. The Patriots opened the 21-day window to activate Thornton from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, so if he shows enough in practice the rest of the week, he could be officially activated and make his season debut in Week […]

Demario Douglas Held Out Of Practice

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Douglas suffered a concussion in the 34-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 and is now iffy for the Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, along with fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster […]
