Cam Akers Slated To Start Again In Week 5

Houston Texans running back Cam Akers is trending toward drawing his third consecutive start in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills.

Mixon has already been ruled out for this week's contest, and while the Texans are […]

Matt Prater Questionable To Kick In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (left knee) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday.

Joey Slye Remains Top-12 Kicker For Week 5

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye looks to build off last week's productive outing with a big game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. The veteran was the 11th-ranked kicker in terms of fantasy points last week, and this week, he benefits from an even more favorable matchup. The Dolphins have allowed the second-most […]

Patriots Defense A Great Streamer Versus Miami

The New England Patriots' defense should garner significant fantasy appeal heading into Week 5 versus the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have limped to the finish line in each of their last three games, losing to the Bills, Seahawks, and Titans all by at least 19 points. The absence of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been a […]

Hunter Henry Can't Be Trusted Against Dolphins

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been a disappointment in fantasy football this season, contributing two catches and fewer than 20 yards in three of his four games so far. The lone outlier was an eight-catch, 109-yard showing back in Week 2, but it seems unlikely that Henry will replicate that production anytime […]

Demario Douglas Still Tough To Trust Against Dolphins

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas is an unreliable fantasy football option heading into Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. While Douglas did break free for seven catches and 69 yards in Week 3, he's posted a total of five catches for 25 yards over his other three games. Not only has the second-year […]

Antonio Gibson Slated To Make First Patriots Start In Week 5

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson is expected to start at running back in Week 5 after head coach Jerod Mayo announced that Rhamondre Stevenson had lost the starting job.

Jacoby Brissett Has Unfavorable Matchup In Week 5

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett remains off the fantasy radar as he heads into a Week 5 clash with the Miami Dolphins.

Kyle Pitts Productive Thursday, Aided By QB's Big Game

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts converted eight targets into seven catches for 88 yards during Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Darnell Mooney Scores Pair Of Touchdowns Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught nine of 16 targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Drake London Enjoys Best Game Of His Career Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught 12 of 13 targets for 154 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Dee Alford Suffers Concussion Thursday

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Dee Alford (head) was diagnosed with a concussion on Thursday night and did not return.

However, since the Falcons have 10 […]

Kirk Cousins Delivers Historic Performance Thursday Night

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 42 of 58 passes for 509 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception during Thursday's overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cousins was truly dominant, setting a single-game franchise record for passing yards while leading his team to a come-from-behind victory. The veteran quarterback seems to have adapted quite […]

Tyler Lockett Limited During Wednesday's Walkthrough

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) was a limited participant on Wednesday. Given that the Seahawks only held a walkthrough, Lockett's participation status is merely an estimation. The reliable veteran receiver has caught 18 passes for 199 yards through four games, but he's still looking for his first touchdown of the 2024 season. Lockett's […]

Davante Adams Eyeing Jets Trade, Has Interest From Steelers And Bills

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) has left an impression on teams that he's "focused on engineering a trade to the Jets," according to Albert Breer of the MMQB.

Kyle Pitts Held Without A Catch In Week 4

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was unable to haul in any of his three targets during Sunday's Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Bijan Robinson A Productive Pass-Catcher In Week 4

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (abdomen) suffered a new rib injury in Week 4 versus the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Dennis Allen emphasized that while this injury is in a similar location as the chest injury that sidelined him in Week 3, this is a new issue unrelated to his previous ailment. It's […]

Hunter Henry Catches Just Two Passes Versus 49ers

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught two of his three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Austin Hooper Finds End Zone On Fourth Down

New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper caught two passes for 13 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
