Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 5

In Week 4, Cooper Kupp and Kenny Golladay came through in a big way if you rolled them out in your DFS lineups. The other wide receivers that were recommended in this weekly piece didn't have the greatest days at the office. D.J. Moore had a great matchup, but he simply wasn't targeted often enough […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 10/6/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Four weeks into the National Football League season, trends are emerging, both in terms of individual offensive performance and in terms of how defenses fare against a particular position. Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Miami are each allowing more than 300 passing yards per game, and the Dolphins offer the added bonus of allowing an […]

Julian Edelman Will Play Against Washington

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) will play against Washington. Edelman has been dealing with the ailment for a few weeks after getting injured during the team's Week 3 matchup against the Jets but was still able to suit up against the Bills in Week 4, finishing the day with four receptions for […]

Pass Rush vs QB Matchups to Watch - Week 5

Week 5 is here, and we have NFL offenses rocking and rolling. Defenses are adjusting to the new rules of pass interference, and life is getting even harder on cornerbacks that are trying to play the ball without causing too much contact. In the trenches, offensive lines were dealing with chemistry issues to start the […]

Patriots Defense Thriving On Third Downs

The New England Patriots Defense will be one of the top fantasy plays of Week 5 when the unit takes on an abysmal Redskins offense. The Patriots defense has been nothing short of fantastic through the first four games, racking up 10 interceptions, 18 sacks and allowing only 61.2 rushing yards a game. They will […]

Phillip Dorsett Has WR4 Value Thanks To Week 5 Matchup

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett will have a juicy matchup against a Redskins Defense that is allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing receivers. Dorsett has emerged as a reliable receiver in a versatile Patriots offense this season, posting 15 receptions for 197 yards and three touchdowns. The Redskins defense already has […]

Start Julian Edelman With Confidence

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman should have an active first half, at least, against a porous Redskins Defense in Week 5. Washington is allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, including nine or more fantasy points to eight different receivers. Edelman's production has been a slight disappointment for fantasy […]

Josh Gordon Has Prime Matchup

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon was removed from the injury report on Friday and will be good to go in Week 5 against the Redskins. It has been a quiet start to Gordon's season thus far, posting 14 receptions for 221 yards and only one touchdown through the first four games. But he […]

James White Has PPR Appeal Against Redskins

New England Patriots running back James White has struggled to get his season going through the first four weeks of the season. White has 16 receptions for 132 yards but is barely used in the running game. He could see some early work in the passing game for Week 5 against the Redskins but the […]

Rex Burkhead Hopes To Get Back In The Mix

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) will have a welcoming matchup against the Redskins in Week 5. Burkhead has posted 229 total yards from scrimmage through his first three games this season but was barely used last week against the Bills. The team could lean heavily on the run game if they get out […]

Sony Michel Has Prime Chance To Shine

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel should see plenty of touches in Week 5 against the Redskins. Michel has alternated a solid effort with a terrible one thus far this season but could post a quality line if the Patriots get up big early. Michel is the most talented back on the Patriots but […]

Tom Brady Could Play Conservative Against Redskins

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a fantastic matchup against the hapless Redskins in Week 5. Brady has thrown seven touchdowns this season with only one interception but could play it safe if this game gets out of hand early. The Redskins Defense has already allowed three touchdown passes to three different quarterbacks […]

Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Questionable Against Redskins

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 5 against the Redskins. Wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) was taken off the final injury report. Both Edelman and Burkhead should play in this excellent matchup. Edelman hasn't been great […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 5

Before we get into the waiver wire analysis, I want to state that the Patriots have put together a football dynasty like none we've ever seen. However, I think we should all agree that a 16-game season is a whole lot less taxing when six of them every year are against the Dolphins, Bills, and […]

Sony Michel Has Been Predictably Frustrating to Own

Remember those days of August and September? Remember when the season was still a few days away and you're signing up in a bunch of leagues and drafting your season-long rosters? Remember that decision you had to make on whether drafting Sony Michel, Mark Ingram, or Derrick Henry in the third round was the best […]
