Dak Prescott Set To Manage Another Game In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been good enough on the field to lead the Cowboys to a 3-1 record, but he hasn't been much of a fantasy option so far. Prescott is the overall QB24 and hasn't been better than QB17 in any game this season. He's mostly game managing while the Dallas defense […]

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 […]

Should I Drop Kenny Pickett? Fantasy Football Outlook

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered this season with a lot of optimism, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.

Sam Howell A Strong Streaming Option In Week 5

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell could be in line for another solid outing in Week 5. After a strong day in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the second-year quarterback has the privilege of taking on the Chicago Bears' bottom-five pass defense. So far this season, Chicago has allowed a top-10 fantasy performance to opposing […]

Joe Burrow Optimistic About His Health

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) said he's optimistic about his calf injury after Sunday was the best he's felt this year after a game. Health-wise he was feeling good, but Burrow couldn't have felt good about his performance in the Week 4 loss to the Tennessee Titans. In the loss, Burrow went 20-for-30 for […]

Justin Fields Remains A Shaky Fantasy Play In Week 5

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will kick off Week 5 Thursday in Washington against the Commanders. Fields is coming off his best game of the season and easily his best passing game as a pro. The third-year quarterback totaled 335 passing yards and four touchdowns against the Broncos last week but two critical turnovers doomed […]

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.
