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.

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (groin/coach's decision) is practicing in full this week as he prepares to make his return to the gameday roster.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (shoulder) is practicing in full as he prepares to possibly make his NFL debut.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoAnthony Richardson Could Miss A Month With Shoulder Injury
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 AC joint sprain. If an MRI confirms the diagnosis, the rookie could be out a month or more.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoFantasy Football Week 5 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dak Prescott, Najee Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, Calvin Ridley
A couple of weeks ago, a friend messaged and jokingly scolded me for listing half of his roster in my busts column. It wasn't a jab at him. We weren't even matched up that week. The busts were based on matchups and advanced metrics, and not overall performance on the season. Many fantasy managers are […]

Andrew Ball 1 year agoParris Campbell Seeing Decline In Snaps, Steady Target Numbers
New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell is seeing his snap percentages decline with second-year receiver Wan'Dale Robinson returning to the field.

Wide receiver breakouts don't always play out the way we'd like them to. Jahan Dotson was pegged by many, including me, to be a star this season.
