Overrated and Underrated College Football Teams - Reviewing NCAA CFB Rankings For Week 6

The Week 5 college football slate was another entertaining one filled with great games and drama. We're approaching the midway point of the 2023 campaign, so the contenders and pretenders are starting to reveal themselves. We'll get more clarity as the season moves along, but there are still some overvalued and undervalued teams ahead of […]

Titans Defense A Low-End Streamer In Week 5

The Tennessee Titans defense has exceeded expectations this season, posting 13 sacks, holding opponents to 311.3 yards per game (12th-best), and limiting opponents to 17.5 points per game (eighth-best). Tennessee held Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals to just three points in Week 4 and has wreaked havoc with its defensive front. However, the Colts […]

Nick Folk Has Streaming Value In Week 5

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all 10 of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point attempts through four games this season. The veteran looks confident from any distance, making him an intriguing Week 5 streaming option. The 38-year-old ranks sixth in total fantasy points (43) at the position after finishing last […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo Remains Off Fantasy Radar

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has hauled in just 10 passes on 13 targets for 73 yards this season. Needless to say, that isn't fantasy-viable production over a four-game stretch, so he should not be trusted in fantasy lineups until further notice. The second-year tight end failed to deliver last week in the absence […]

DeAndre Hopkins Has WR2 Upside In Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't gotten out to a prolific start in 2023, but he leads the team in targets (31), receptions (18), and receiving yards (216). Last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, he was inches away from scoring touchdowns on two separate occasions, so hopefully, a boom week is coming soon. It […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine A Deep-League Flex Option

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has hauled in 12 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns this season. The 26-year-old is far from a fantasy superstar, but if Treylon Burks (knee) misses the Week 5 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, he could be worth starting in deep formats. The Colts have allowed the ninth-most […]

Derrick Henry In For Another Big Day Against Colts

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has rushed for at least 103 yards in six of his last seven games against the AFC South-rival Indianapolis Colts. He has scored five touchdowns in those seven games and has the chance for another big game against its defense in Week 5. The Colts have allowed the 13th-most […]

Ryan Tannehill A Low-Floor Steamer Against Colts

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrown for 788 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions in 2023. He's added 28 yards and a touchdown as a runner. His stats are far from impressive, but Tennessee's offense came alive in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals, so hopefully, brighter days are ahead of the 35-year-old signal-caller. […]

Lions Defense A Strong Streamer Against Panthers

The Detroit Lions defense has exceeded expectations so far this year. Dan Campbell's stop unit is 13th in points per game allowed (20.8), seventh in sacks (13), and first in rushing yards allowed per game (60.8). In Week 5, the Lions matchup with the Carolina Panthers, who have scored just 16.8 points per game (ninth-fewest) […]

Riley Patterson Not Worth Starting In Week 5

Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson is set to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, and although the Lions are expected to put up plenty of points in this contest, the 24-year-old is not on the fantasy radar. Patterson has scored just 28 fantasy points this season (23rd), and Detroit has attempted fourth down conversions […]

Jameson Williams A Shaky Flex Option In Season Debut

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is set to return from a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy in Week 5. Williams was originally suspended for six weeks, but the league changed its policy and reduced his suspension to four games. He'll face the struggling Carolina Panthers defense on Sunday, but his floor is […]

Sam LaPorta Has TE1 Outlook In Week 5

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta leads all tight ends in receiving yards (242) this season, so he's a must-start fantasy option against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. Although Carolina has surrendered the eighth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends through four weeks, the rookie from Iowa has proven he has upside in all matchups. […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Has Low Floor Against Panthers

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs saw workhorse usage against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, but that was in the absence of David Montgomery (thigh). Montgomery returned in Week 4 and immediately took over the backfield, rushing 32 times for 121 yards and three touchdowns. Gibbs handled just 12 touches for 51 yards. The […]

David Montgomery A Must-Start In Week 5

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery returned to action from a thigh injury in Week 4 and rushed 32 times for 121 yards and three touchdowns. He won matchups for fantasy managers and is set to face a struggling Carolina Panthers' defense in Week 5. Carolina has surrendered the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs […]

Jared Goff A Fringe QB1 Against Panthers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 1,029 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions through four weeks of game action. The 28-year-old is leading one of the best offenses in the NFL, but since he rarely adds rushing stats to his fantasy production, his floor is never truly safe. That said, he's set to […]

Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5: Jakobi Meyers, AJ Dillon, Jared Goff

With the Week 5 slate of the NFL season on the horizon, it's time for fantasy managers to decide between flex or streaming options in their starting lineups. Jakobi Meyers, AJ Dillon, and Jared Goff are all hot names ahead of Sunday and Monday games. Meyers has posted solid outings when Jimmy Garoppolo is active, […]

Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5: Jahmyr Gibbs, Nico Collins, Adam Thielen

The Week 5 NFL slate is right around the corner, meaning it's time for fantasy managers to make tough, last-minute start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Jahmyr Gibbs, Nico Collins, and Adam Thielen are all hot names ahead of Sunday's games. Gibbs finds himself behind David Montgomery again, Collins boomed in Week 4 after a quiet […]

Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5: Marquise Brown, Aaron Jones, Isiah Pacheco

Four weeks of NFL football have taken place this season, but there are still plenty of tough start-or-sit decisions for fantasy managers to make, especially with bye weeks becoming a factor. Marquise Brown, Aaron Jones, and Isiah Pacheco are all hot names ahead of Sunday and Monday games in Week 5. Brown has exceeded expectations […]

Should I Drop Jaxon Smith-Njigba? Fantasy Football Outlook

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was a hot name for fantasy football coming out of Ohio State University. The collegiate superstar posted 1,606 yards in 2021 while sharing the field with Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave and was taken in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, so he's expected to become a […]

Jonathan Taylor Still A Question Mark For Week 5

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) participated in a walkthrough at practice Wednesday after the team opened the 21-day window for him to return from the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) List. However, head coach Shane Steichen is not saying whether the 2021 rushing champion will play in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. […]

Tytus Howard Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

Houston Texans offensive tackle Tytus Howard (hand) suffered a broken hand this offseason, resulting in him missing the team's first four games while on Injured Reserve. The Texans designated him to return from IR on Wednesday, and he returned to the practice field. The 27-year-old signed a three-year, $56 million contract extension this offseason and […]

Keaton Mitchell Returns To Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Keaton Mitchell (shoulder) began the 2023 season on Injured Reserve. On Wednesday, he returned to practice as the team activated his 21-day window to be activated from IR. The undrafted rookie rushed for 2,584 yards and 23 touchdowns and caught 49 passes for 505 yards and two touchdowns over his […]

Kenny Pickett Says He'll Play In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) suffered a bone bruise to his knee in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. His status is up in the air against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5, but the second-year signal-caller said, "I'll be ready to go by Sunday." Pickett was wearing a bulky brace on […]

Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel Good To Go For Thursday Night

Washington Commanders wide receivers Jahan Dotson (ankle) and Curtis Samuel (quad) will be active against the Chicago Bears in the Week 5 Thursday Night Football contest against the Chicago Bears. Both players either missed practice or were limited this week, but they are good to go. The Bears have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to […]

Rashod Bateman, Odell Beckham Jr. Practice On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Rashod Bateman (hamstring) and Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns. It's unclear to what extent they participated in practice until the official Wednesday injury report comes out later today, but it's a good sign for their return. That […]

Marlon Humphrey Returns To Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) has not appeared in a game this season after undergoing foot surgery in August. The 27-year-old took the practice field for the first time since his operation on Wednesday so he could make his season debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5. The three-time Pro Bowler could provide […]

Chase Claypool Officially Out Against Commanders

Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool (healthy scratch) has officially been ruled out of the Thursday Night Football contest against the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old was traded to Chicago for an early second-round pick in the middle of the 2022 season and has caught just 17 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown in 10 […]

Is Elijah Mitchell Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell had a breakout rookie campaign in 2021 and is one of the most valuable fantasy football handcuffs in his team's high-powered rushing attacks. Unfortunately, the Louisiana Lafayette alum has struggled through multiple injuries over the last two years and is once again in the injury headlines. We have […]

Is Tyler Higbee Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee started the 2023 campaign slow but has posted solid outings in Week 3 and Week 4. The 30-year-old veteran hasn't often been a high-end fantasy tight end, but he's remained on the fantasy radar as an interesting low-end TE1 or high-end TE2 over the last few years. However, […]

Is Jelani Woods Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jelani Woods is a great athlete at the position, which naturally makes him an intriguing fantasy football sleeper. The 2022 third-round pick showed some promising signs last season and is on a team with a weak pass-catching depth chart. However, Woods has yet to make his season debut. He's eligible to […]
