C.J. Beathard Committing Too Many Turnovers

While San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard has accumulated yards (647) and touchdowns (four passing, one rushing), he enters Week 6 with six turnovers in his two starts this season. Beathard and the Niners will travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers, who have allowed the second-fewest pass yards per game (208.8). […]

Cam Newton A Good Option For Week 6

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a good option for fantasy owners this week. Coming off the back of a mediocre performance against the New York Giants Newton will look to bounce back against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins are one of the better defenses against quarterbacks so far this season (on average points per […]

Ryan Tannehill Should Be Avoided In Week 6

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill should be avoided in leagues that start just one quarterback in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Simply put, the Dolphins offensive is 30th in the league in yards per game and the Bears defense is 2nd in the league in yards allowed per game. That's a clear-cut recipe for […]

Rookies Worth Your Attention in Week 6

In this column, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally, […]

Dak Prescott Set to Disappoint Again in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 6. He hasn't finished in the top half of quarterback scoring in any game this season, and he now gets to take on the league's best pass defense. The Cowboys, in fact, have now gone eight straight games without scoring more than […]

Dak Prescott Struggling With Accuracy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has struggled with his accuracy, and he has just 961 yards passing through five games with a 61.8 completion percentage and an 81.4 passer rating. He has just five touchdown passes on the year with four interceptions and a fumble, but he does have 121 rushing yards and a score […]

Deshaun Watson Has Chance To Play Against Bills

When asked if Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) had a chance to play in Week 6 against the Bills, head coach Bill O'Brien said, "Oh yeah." Houston is being rather coy about how seriously Watson was injured after taking multiple heavy hits on scrambles against the Cowboys on Sunday night. He might miss some […]

Carson Wentz a Decent Option in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a decent option in fantasy for Week 6. The Eagles take on the Giants on Thursday Night Football, and the rivalry game always makes for good TV. Wentz has improved each week, finishing as the QB22, QB15, and QB8 in his three starts so far. The Giants have been […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Week 6

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off his first career 300-yard passing game and will look to stay hot against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.

Ben Roethlisberger A Low-End QB1 In Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will head on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. The veteran's road struggles are well-known at this point and have continued during the 2018 season. Four of his six interceptions this season have come in his two road games and he will take on a […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 6

While the New England Patriots-Indianapolis Colts rivalry wasn't as close a contest as football fans had hoped for last Thursday night, many players returned productive numbers for fantasy owners. Tom Brady and Andrew Luck both managed to eclipse the 300-passing yard mark and throw for an identical 3:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio, allowing for multiple pass-catchers to […]

Titans Release Nick Williams, Austin Davis

The Tennessee Titans released wide receiver Nick Williams and quarterback Austin Davis on Tuesday. Williams dropped a potential game-winning touchdown in Week 5. He played in two games for the Titans this year and has only 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in his career. Davis is no longer needed with Blaine Gabbert […]

Tom Brady Will Be A Top Choice Among Week 6 QBs

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a fantastic matchup this Sunday night against the Chiefs in Week 6. Brady has completed 67.6% of his passes this season for 1,259 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. Brady has turned the ball over more than he would like but will go up against a Chiefs […]

Alex Smith Shut Down By Saints

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith completed 23 of 39 passes for 275 yards in Monday night's contest against the Saints. He also fumbled once and threw one interception. Smith's fantasy day was salvaged by a short rushing touchdown late in the first half, but even that was just barely enough to get him into double […]

Eagles Offensive Line Not Up To Par

The Philadelphia Eagles offensive line has been a weakness so far through five weeks of the season. "Right now we're struggling on the offensive line because we have to block longer. We have a quarterback that's coming off of an injury and he wants to make a play," left tackle Jason Peters said. "We just […]

Falcons Offense Struggling Outdoors

The Atlanta Falcons offense has struggled so far in two road games outdoors (at Eagles and at Steelers), averaging 14.5 points in those two losses. Running backs Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith combined to average less than 3.0 yards per carry on 18 attempts against Pittsburgh. That shouldn't be a worry for fantasy […]

Lamar Jackson's Versatility Keeping Him On The Field

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Lamar Jackson has been used a variety of ways this season. Jackson, who has appeared in each of the first five games, has lined up at different offensive spots as the Ravens have looked to take advantage of his speed and elusiveness. He was on the field for five plays against […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers were on bye this week, but with him being declared the starter in Tampa Bay Winston can be a viable fantasy quarterback again. His Week 6 matchup is especially enticing, as he takes on a divisional opponent in the […]

Mitch Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite his six-touchdown performance in Week 4, Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky saw his ownership only go up 8% compared to last week. Perhaps that is because he had a bye in Week 5, or perhaps it speaks to the depth at quarterback in […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 6 Waiver Wire Targets

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

It took five weeks but the vultures are finally starting to come out. We saw it in Detroit, where talented rookie Kerryon Johnson turned 12 carries into 70 yards while LeGarrette Blount turned 12 carries into 22 yards yet cashed in twice on short touchdown scores. Despite the return of Devonta Freeman in Atlanta, it […]

Week 6 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Week 5 was a week of duds for many at the quarterback position, with ten starting quarterbacks scoring fewer than 15 fantasy points based on standard scoring. Some of those quarterbacks being universally owned and started as well. Disappointing performances aside, there were still plenty of encouraging games from low-owned quarterbacks. Detroit and New Orleans […]

Deshaun Watson Day-To-Day With Chest Injury

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) is listed as day-to-day with a chest injury he suffered in the win on Sunday night against the Cowboys. Watson took some really hard hits during several scrambles on Sunday night, and he was being evaluated on the sidelines by trainers a few times. It's likely that Watson will […]

Bills Sign Derek Anderson

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent quarterback Derek Anderson on Tuesday and released safety Dean Marlowe in a corresponding move. It's unknown if Anderson will replace Nathan Peterman as the No. 2 behind rookie Josh Allen, but Anderson surely will be a fine veteran mentor for the up-and-coming young gunslinger.

Taysom Hill Rushes For A Touchdown In Week 5

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill rushed for his first touchdown of the season in Week 5 against the Washington Redskins. Hill has significantly boosted the Saints offense with his dynamic play-making abilities and was finally rewarded with a touchdown during his five carries for 23 yards in Week 5. Regardless of the touchdown, Hill […]
