Jake Elliott Is Expected To Miss Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (ankle) is expected to sit out the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. This was the expectation after the Eagles signed Cameron Dicker to their 53-man roster. Dicker should be the active kicker on Sunday and isn't a terrible streaming option in this hot Philly offense. However, he is […]

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox finally put together a strong performance during the last week's contest. He hauled in all six of his targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in their loss.

Andy Webb 2 years agoParris Campbell Barely On The Fantasy Radar
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell was expected to have a big role on this team coming into the season. However, the 25-year-old has nine receptions for 90 yards in the first four games of the season. He is looking like a distant third receiver to Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce. That being said, […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoAlec Pierce Has Low-End Flex Appeal
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is coming off a decent three-catch performance in Week 4. He could see an increased workload with featured back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on the sideline. That being said, the Colts will likely need to lean on the passing game more against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. All of […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoMichael Pittman Jr. A Low-End WR2 Versus Broncos
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is likely to be the focal point of this offense heading into their Week 5 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines will be the featured back for the upcoming matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday. Star back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is sidelined, so Hines will be asked to step up here. The expectation is that Phillip Lindsay and possibly Deon Jackson would see carries behind Hines. However, Hines remains […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoMatt Ryan Likely To Struggle Versus Broncos
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan is coming off his strongest game of the season in Week 4. He has thrown for over 350 passing yards in two of the first four games.

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (knee) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He missed their first preseason game due to a concussion.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, according to head coach Mike Malone. The superstar big man came out of Monday's preseason contest with a wrist injury. It doesn't sound like this is a serious injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about Jokic missing time. The expectation is […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoBrandon Ingram Sitting During Tuesday's Exhibition
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bulls. This isn't a significant injury, but the Pelicans didn't want to risk it in a meaningless game. Trey Murphy should see additional run with Ingram on the sideline. At this point, it's hard to justify taking […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoBulls Could Rotate Starting Point Guard Spot
The Chicago Bulls might not have a full-time starting point guard to begin the season. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned that he could rotate the starting guard spot while Lonzo Ball (knee) recovers. That means, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Goran Dragic could all be in the mix. Possibly, Alex Caruso gets some minutes at […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoJustice Hill Expected To Miss Time
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for an unknown amount of time, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. The team doesn't believe it's a serious injury, but they haven't given a timetable for his return. It's a hamstring injury and those do have a tendency to linger. Fantasy managers […]

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (leg) has a chance of suiting up in Week 5, according to Eagles special teams coordinator Michael Clay. The team has praised Elliott's toughness and are optimistic that Elliott will be able to suit up against the Arizona Cardinals. However, the team has signed Cameron Dicker to the 53-man roster […]

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (neck) was limited during Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Andy Webb 2 years agoKeenan Allen Considered Day-To-Day
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is currently considered day-to-day after missing each of the last two weeks. It sounds like Allen was progressing well, but suffered a setback late last week which caused him to sit out in Week 4. The organization continues to be cautious with Allen, so fantasy managers won't […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoCody Whitehair To Miss Significant Time
Chicago Bears guard Cody Whitehair (knee) is not believed to have suffered a season-ending injury, according to head coach Matt Eberflus. He exited in the second quarter of Sunday's game due to a knee issue. It's apparently a significant enough injury that Whitehair is going to miss multiple weeks. The organization is hopeful to get […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoCairo Santos Returns To The Team
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (personal) missed the Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants. The 30-year-old was dealing with a personal matter and was away from the team for a week.

Andy Webb 2 years agoPhillip Lindsay Could Get More Involved
Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay spent all the offseason with Indy before being a final cut during training camp.

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Darryl Johnson (foot) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury in Week 4. The fourth-year pro suffered a legitimate foot injury during the win over the Detroit Lions. The former seventh rounder is out indefinitely, but this isn't a huge loss for the Seahawks. Johnson only played 19% […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoEvan Mobley To Miss A Few Weeks
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (ankle) is expected to miss the next week or two while he recovers from an injury. This means we probably won't see Mobley during the preseason. It's uncertain if Mobley will be ready for the season opener, but should be ready shortly after that. This minor injury shouldn't lower his […]
Andy Webb 2 years agoFranz Wagner Resting During Monday's Preseason Contest
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (rest) won't suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Wagner played a ton during the Eurobasket tournament this summer, so the team will be cautious with him. They will allow Wagner to sit out this meaningless game. He should be fine going forward and is expected to […]

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (hand) is set to undergo X-rays following Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
