Should I Pickup Khalil Shakir For Fantasy Football Week 6? Waiver Wire Outlook

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Khalil Shakir had a breakout performance in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and since everyone loves rookie upside, he's a hot name on the waiver wire heading into Week 6. Shakir plays in the best passing game in the NFL led by Josh Allen, so his upside is strong […]

Should I Pickup Randall Cobb For Fantasy Football Week 6? Waiver Wire Outlook

Randall Cobb has been one of Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets during his 10 years as a Green Bay Packer, and the 32-year-old had his best game of the season in the loss to the New York Giants in London. While Cobb is past his prime as an electric playmaker in space, it's clear Rodgers trusts […]

Rashod Bateman Could Return In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) missed the Week 5 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but head coach John Harbaugh said he might be back for the matchup with the New York Giants in Week 6. Bateman is far from a must-start, but he has upside as the No. 1 WR in Baltimore. Based […]

Marcus Williams To Be Placed On Injured Reserve

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (wrist) will be placed on Injured Reserve after dislocating his wrist in the win against the Cincinnati Bengals. His injury won't be season-ending, but it could be significant for fantasy football. The Ravens' secondary has already been among the worst in the NFL, so it could be getting even worse. […]

Tee Higgins Considered Day-To-Day

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle) is considered day-to-day after posting zero catches in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Without much pregame news, Higgins played just a handful of snaps before being ruled out of the Sunday Night Football contest. That said, it looks like he's dealing with an ankle sprain and is […]

Titans Defense Limits Commanders In Win

The Tennessee Titans defense sacked Washington Commaonders quarterback Carson Wentz three times and intercepted him once in the 21-17 win in Week 5. Tennessee's defense isn't one of the best units in the league, but it has proven to capitalize with sacks and turnovers in favorable matchups. The Titans have a bye in Week 6, […]

Randy Bullock Scores Three Points In Win

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock didn't attempt a field goal in the 21-17 win against the Washington Commanders. He made all three of his extra-point attempts but was clearly a fantasy bust. Kickers are dependent on their offenses, game conditions, and coaches' decisions on fourth downs, so any kicker can bust in a "favorable" matchup […]

Robert Woods Leads Titans In Targets

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods led the team with eight targets in the 21-17 win against the Washington Commanders. He caught just four of them for 37 yards, but he's clearly the WR1 for quarterback Ryan Tannehill while rookie Treylon Burks (toe) is on Injured Reserve. Tennessee has a bye in Week 6, but […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Leads Titans In Receiving Yards

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught two of his three targets for 72 yards in the 21-17 win over the Washington Commanders. Westbrook-Ikhine is still far off the fantasy radar in shallow leagues, but he'll have at least some opportunity to score fantasy points as long as Treylon Burks (turf toe) remains on injured […]

Dontrell Hilliard Scores Touchdown In Win

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard caught four passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in the win against the Washington Commanders. Since he totals just five touches, he's still far from a safe fantasy option. That said, he has a place on rosters in deep leagues as a handcuff with some standalone value or […]

Derrick Henry Posts 132 Yards, Two Touchdowns In Win

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry handled 30 touches for 132 yards and two rushing touchdowns in the 21-17 win against the Washington Commanders. Henry's average yards per attempt was far from impressive, but the Tennessee offensive line was dominated by the Washington front seven all game. Despite this, Henry delivered another strong RB1 fantasy […]

Ryan Tannehill Logs 181 Yards, Touchdown In Win

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 15 of his 25 passing attempts for 181 yards and a touchdown in the 21-17 win against the Washington Commanders. This was a disappointing fantasy output in one of the most favorable matchups for quarterbacks, but there's always a risk Derrick Henry hogs the scoring opportunities. Tennessee is on […]

Michael Badgley Held Off Scoreboard In Loss

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley was just signed to this team late in the week but he was held to zero points in his debut. He never attempted a kick, so it's tough to know what his rest-of-season outlook is. That said, the Lions offense should bounce back after the team's Week 6 bye, so […]

T.J. Hockenson Catches One Pass In Loss

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson racked up 179 yards in Week 4 and looked to be set up for another monster game in Week 5 against the Patriots. However, Jared Goff and the Lions' offense was dominated and held scoreless in the blowout loss. Hockenson caught just one of his four targets for six […]

Kalif Raymond Catches Five Passes In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond caught five of his seven targets for 45 yards in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. Some fantasy managers in deep leagues probably played Raymond since Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is banged up and D.J. Chark (ankle) was out, so in PPR leagues, he provided just enough […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Totals 18 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught just four passes for 18 yards in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. St. Brown was expected to play limited snaps because of his ankle injury, so his risk was clear for fantasy managers. Luckily, the Lions are on a bye in Week 6, so […]

Josh Reynolds Leads Lions In Targets

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught six of his 10 targets for 92 yards in the blowout loss to the New England Patriots. He was ultimately the only Lions pass-catcher who had a productive fantasy day with Amon-Ra St. Brown playing limited snaps. Reynolds has been productive this season, but it's tough to know […]

Jamaal Williams Held To 56 Yards

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams handled 15 touches but was held to just 56 yards and zero touchdowns. The Lions were shut out, so nearly all of the Detroit skill players were busts in Week 5. Williams' rest-of-season outlook will be affected by how quickly D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) comes back. Detroit is on […]

Jared Goff Shut Down In Week 5

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 19 of his 35 attempts for 229 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. His floor is clearly not as high as most thought, so he's a risky play moving forward unless the matchup is favorable for quarterbacks. That said, this […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for TEs: Week 5 Injury Updates for Kyle Pitts, T.J. Hockenson, Dawson Knox, Hayden Hurst

Week 5 is drawing closer, so it's time to dive into the tight ends with injury concerns before Sunday's games kick off. Tight end is a frustrating position to navigate in fantasy football, so any big-name tight end missing action can throw fantasy rosters into chaos. These are the latest injury updates as of Friday, […]

Jamaal Williams Has RB2 Floor In Week 5

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams will once again be the workhorse back against the New England Patriots with D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) out of action. The Patriots are the sixth-toughest defense against fantasy running backs through four weeks, but Williams' workload gives him an RB2 floor. With a ton of Lions' pass-catchers banged up, […]

Kalif Raymond, Tom Kennedy Could See Increased Roles

Detroit Lions wide receivers Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy could be significant pieces of the offense if Josh Reynolds (ankle) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) are ruled out before the game against the New England Patriots. Raymond and Kennedy combined for six receptions for 92 yards against the Seattle Seahawks in the absence of D.J. […]

T.J. Hockenson In Line For Big Week 5

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson exploded for 179 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks and could see another strong performance in a matchup with the New England Patriots. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds are both questionable with ankle injuries, so Hockenson could be Jared Goff's primary read. New […]

D.J. Chark Ruled Out For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) is set to miss his second straight game, as he was ruled out for the matchup against the New England Patriots. Josh Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown are both questionable with ankle injuries, but both are strong fantasy plays regardless of the other's game-day status. Chark's rest-of-season outlook […]

Josh Reynolds Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and is officially questionable for the matchup against the New England Patriots. If Reynolds is active, he's a strong flex play since D.J. Chark (ankle) has been ruled out. If Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is out, Reynolds is arguably a […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Questionable For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is officially questionable for the Week 5 matchup with the New England Patriots. After a monstrous start to the season, St. Brown missed the game against the Seattle Seahawks last week. That said, St. Brown is a must-start option with a high-end WR1 ceiling, even if he […]

D'Andre Swift Ruled Out For Week 5

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) has been ruled out for a second straight week, so he'll miss the Week 5 contest against the New England Patriots. This doesn't come as a surprise since head Coach Dan Campbell said he might be out until after the Lions' Week 6 bye. That said, Swift […]
