Mike Evans ($7,200) is coming off a dud performance of 5.4 FPTS vs. the Saints, but the receiver has notoriously struggled against Marshon Lattimore and company, with Evans’ quiet performance this past Sunday being the sixth straight time he has scored 10 FPTS or less against New Orleans. However, Evans is in a prime spot […]

Coming off their third straight loss, the Jets have decided to make another huge change. One week after firing head coach Robert Saleh, New York has traded for star WR Davante Adams from the Raiders in exchange for a conditional third-round pick, which has the potential to become a second-round pick, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. […]

Missing practice Thursday for the second consecutive day, Robinson Jr. ($6,400) is trending towards missing this Sunday’s matchup with the Ravens. If that ends up being the case, Ekeler ($5,600) and Jeremy McNichols ($4,500) will both see more work for the Commanders, with Ekeler being the better option between the two. Ekeler has ranked second […]

Rashid Shaheed ($5,600) missed practice for the second day in a row Thursday with a hip injury. Shaheed assured the media that he’d be fine for game time, but missing practice Thursday is never a positive sign for a player’s availability, and if Shaheed is inactive for the first time this season this Sunday vs. […]

George Pickens ($5,900) is coming off a dud performance vs. the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 5, catching three of his seven targets for 26 yards (5.6 FPTS). While the seven targets led the Steelers, Pickens only ran a route on 67% of his team’s drop backs, which was the fourth-most on the […]

With Joe Mixon ($6,900; ankle) remaining sidelined at practice Wednesday, it is likely that the back misses his third straight game this Sunday, leaving the Texans with Dare Ogunbowale ($4,800), Cam Akers ($5,500) and Dameon Pierce ($4,900; hamstring) in their backfield, as the latter is expected to play for the first time since Week 1, […]

Jonathan Taylor ($7,500; ankle) missed Week 5 and is trending towards missing Week 6, with the back not practicing this week, as of Wednesday. Trey Sermon ($6,000; collarbone) also didn’t practice Wednesday, but feels more likely play, as Taylor was a rumored IR candidate last week with the ankle injury. With Taylor inactive last Sunday […]

Nico Collins injured his hamstring catching a long touchdown in Week 5 and the receiver has been placed on IR, meaning Collins will miss at least four games. The 25-year-old is the No. 1 receiver in fantasy football this season and he has led the Texans with a 24.7% target share, so there will be […]

With Brandin Cooks (knee) inactive for the first time this season in Week 5, Jalen Tolbert ($5,000) stole the show for the Cowboys in their dramatic road win over the Steelers. The receiver caught seven of his career-high 10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown, which was the go-ahead and game-winning score for Dallas […]

In the Chiefs’ first full game without Rashee Rice (knee), JuJu Smith-Schuster came alive on Monday Night Football. In the win over the Saints, the 27-year-old hauled in seven of his eight targets for 130 yards (23 FPTS), which is the first time Smith-Schuster has exceeded 100 yards receiving since Week 7 of the 2022 […]

Tyler Lockett ($8,100 Showdown) has seen his fantasy production decrease each of the last three seasons and the 32-year-old has put up modest numbers so far this year, producing just 9.9 FPTS per game. Lockett has yet to find the end zone in five games and, among receivers, the veteran ranks 51st in FPTS per […]
