Dynasty Fantasy Basketball Rankings (2024-25) - Alex Fischbein's Analysis

Well hello NBA regular season, it's nice to see you right around the corner! We've been calling you guys ever since the Olympics were over, but it looks like they left us on read until we just got hit with the "You up?" text when training camp began. The good news...I AM UP! Let's just […]

The Ravens Defense Is A Risky Play Against Commanders In Week 6

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams hasn't been the same one the league has grown accustomed to over the last decade or two. They've allowed quarterbacks to gash them more often than not, and second-half leads are never safe. Joe Burrow and Dak Prescott have thrown for over 350 yards against them while Gardner Minshew II […]

Justin Tucker Looks To Build Momentum Against Commanders

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker bounced back in a big way in Week 5 after a worrisome stretch through the first four games of the season. The veteran finished as the K6 after making all five of his extra points, a 56-yard field goal, and a 24-yard field goal to win the game for the […]

Justice Hill A Low-End Flex Play In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill returned to his usual fantasy output in Week 5 after a brief pop in Week 4. This is a good indication of what his season will look like as he's bound to have some big games here and there in PPR formats, but he's too inconsistent to start every […]

Mark Andrews A Desperate Play In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews finally broke his streak of goose eggs in Week 5 when he caught four of five targets for 55 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. So far, he's only had one week with a finish inside of TE1 territory, and that took a terrible week from tight ends across the […]

Zay Flowers Has High-End WR2 Potential In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers finally bounced back in the Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals after a couple of rough weeks where he saw a combined four receptions for 30 yards. With the momentum of a 100-yard game, he rolls into a matchup with a favorable secondary in the Washington Commanders. They've […]

Derrick Henry Aims To Continue Scoring Streak

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has found the end zone in each one of his first five games with the team this year. He already has seven combined touchdowns in five games while coming in as the RB2 in half-PPR formats, behind Alvin Kamara. He's tied for the most 20+ yard plays on the […]

Lamar Jackson Ready For Battle Of The Beltway

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is set to compete in the second "Battle of the Beltway" in his career. The two-time MVP is on a tremendous streak of QB1-level finishes this season as he's hit that mark in all five games with QB10 being his lowest weekly rank. He's sitting at the overall QB1 on […]

Andy Dalton Comes In As Low-End QB2 Against Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton revived the offense for a couple of weeks until they ran into the Chicago Bears defense in Week 5. Dalton watched the end of the game from the bench as Bryce Young returned under center for a bit in the fourth quarter. In Week 6, the Panthers will take on […]

Jaquan Brisker Ruled Out For Week 6

Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 6 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Brisker has been one of the leaders of a very good defensive unit that has kept the Bears in striking distance every game. They enter this week as a top-four unit in […]

Chuba Hubbard A Mid-Level RB2 Against Falcons

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has enjoyed some big fantasy success over the last few weeks since Andy Dalton took over as the starting quarterback. He's registered finishes of RB7, RB7, and RB5 in half-PPR formats across those weeks. After a brief offensive improvement to win their first game, the offense has slowly returned […]

Russell Wilson Could Still Take Over Steelers Starting Job

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) technically won the starting job in training camp, but hasn't been able to take the field due to a calf injury. In fact, the Steelers were ready to trot him out as the starter in Week 1 until the calf flared up a few days before kickoff, allowing Justin […]

Zamir White Misses Another Practice Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (groin) did not participate in practice on Thursday, his fourth DNP in a row since last week. He wasn't able to suit up for their last game against the Denver Broncos after picking up a groin injury during practice last week. Now, it seems he's on his way […]

Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers Both Miss Practice On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receivers Davante Adams (hamstring) and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) both registered DNPs for Thursday's injury report. Reports last week suggested that Adams would be healthy by this week, but as the week has progressed, he's increasingly been unlikely to play in Week 6's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is all while […]

Day'Ron Sharpe Out For At Least Six Weeks

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) was confirmed to have suffered a strained hamstring and the team will re-evaluate his progress in six weeks.

Gary Trent Jr. Leaves Sunday With Elbow Injury

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (elbow) left Sunday's preseason game with an elbow injury after 13 minutes of playing time.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (shoulder) was forced to exit the team's preseason contest against the Washington Wizards on Sunday with an apparent shoulder contusion and was held out for the rest of the game as a precaution.

Los Angeles Clippers forward P.J. Tucker is away from the team right now as a mutually agreed situation while the team decides how to move forward with the former NBA Champ.

Brandon Ingram Won't Suit Up For First Preseason Game

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram will not play in the team's first preseason game on Monday against the Orlando Magic. Head coach Willie Green confirmed that this decision is not injury related, it was actually a "collective decision" that he wouldn't play. At this point, it seems like it's more of a game to […]

Patriots Could Make The Switch To Drake Maye

New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye has yet to make his first NFL start, but that could change in Week 6, according to Adam Schefter. Head coach Jerod Mayo had a noticeable tone change when it came to answering questions about the team's quarterback situation, and another game where the offense was barely able […]

Colby Parkinson Sees 13 Targets Against Packers

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson was heavily involved in the passing game throughout the 24-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
