Chris Olave A Fantasy WR2 For Week 5

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has had a hot start to his rookie season and should continue to be highly targeted in a Week 5 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

Minkah Fitzpatrick Practices In Full, Will Play In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) practiced in full on Friday and will suit up for a Week 5 bout with the Buffalo Bills. This is excellent news for a Pittsburgh defense that has struggled for the past three weeks and is already without 2021 Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt (pectoral). Fitzpatrick has […]

Darren Waller A Full-Go In Friday's Walkthrough

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (shoulder) was a full participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Friday.

Tyler Kroft To Miss Week 5

San Francisco 49ers tight end Tyler Kroft (knee) has been ruled out ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Kroft sustained a sprained MCL in Week 2 and has not played since.

Eddy Pineiro Not Worth Starting In Week 5

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro is yet to miss a field goal or extra-point attempt in 2022 and will hope to stay perfect in a Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite his success, Pineiro has not been a prolific fantasy option as the Panthers have been unable to move the ball and […]

Ian Thomas Not A Viable Option In Week 5

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas has recorded three targets in every game this season and will hope to get more involved in a Week 5 bout with the San Francisco 49ers. Thomas was outshined by teammate Tommy Tremble last week, as Tremble played on 42 percent of snaps and earned six targets. Thomas was […]

Robbie Anderson Not On Fantasy Radar

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robbie Anderson has not been a reliable fantasy option so far this season and has a difficult matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on tap for Week 5. Anderson hasn't surpassed three receptions or 32 yards since Week 1 and is struggling to produce with Baker Mayfield under center. Carolina's ineffective […]

DJ Moore Just A Flex Option In Week 5

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore accumulated 11 targets last week and will look to stay heavily involved in a Week 5 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Moore has been a huge disappointment for fantasy managers so far this season and could struggle to produce again this week against a San Francisco defense that […]

Christian McCaffrey Remains A Top Option In Week 5

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is coming off his best fantasy performance of 2022 and will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Although he was ineffective on the ground, McCaffrey posted season-highs in targets, receptions, and receiving yards while finding the end zone in […]

Baker Mayfield Should Be Avoided In Week 5

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield has been unproductive for fantasy so far this season and could struggle to turn things around in a Week 5 bout with the San Francisco 49ers.

Joshua Palmer Questionable To Play In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday, but has ultimately been listed as questionable ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

Chargers Defense Is A Mediocre Play In Week 5

The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams has been on and off for fantasy so far this season. In Week 5, Los Angeles will face a relatively difficult opponent in the Cleveland Browns, who are scoring over 26 points per game. Without Joey Bosa (groin), the Chargers' defense is less appealing, but still finished as a […]

Dustin Hopkins Questionable For Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quad) was a limited practice participant all week and is officially questionable to suit up in a Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Hopkins has not been overly productive so far this season and fantasy players should feel comfortable dropping him assuming there is a solid, healthy kicker […]

Gerald Everett Will Suit Up In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (hamstring) popped up on the injury report on Thursday after logging a limited practice session, but was able to practice in full on Friday and has been cleared to play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5.

Keenan Allen Ruled Out For Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and has now been declared out ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

DeAndre Carter Could Have Expanded Role In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DeAndre Carter has been very quiet over the past two weeks but could bounce back in a Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Mike Williams Is A Must-Start WR In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams currently leads the team in targets and should continue to be a primary weapon for Justin Herbert in a Week 5 road matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The Browns' defense has held its own so far this season against opposing wideouts, but the opportunity for Williams is too […]

Austin Ekeler Should Continue Success In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler finished as the fantasy RB1 in PPR scoring last week and will look to build upon this performance in a Week 5 bout with the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has allowed the 10th-most PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2022, so this is a great matchup for […]
