Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 6

The wide receiver matchup article from last week recommended some solid plays with Davante Adams (WR-2), Kadarius Toney (WR-7), CeeDee Lamb (WR-17) and Deebo Samuel (WR-20) all finishing Week 5 with strong performances. On the lower end, Marvin Jones Jr. was targeted six times but only hauled in one of them for 25 yards and Jakobi Meyers (WR-47) really underwhelmed. Tyler […]

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 6 Lineups

If Week 5 in the NFL taught us anything, it's just how much of a guessing game that fantasy football will continue to be. Of course, there are those easy-to-make calls in your starting lineups.

Mark Andrews - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

We finally got the eruption game from Andrews last week as he posted 11 catches for 147 yards and two scores while being targeted 13 times by Lamar Jackson on Monday night. I don't think it's chasing points this week to go back to the well on Andrews as he had already been trending up before that […]

Trade your Studs?

I debated writing this article and risking my reputation as a super famous sportswriter by suggesting such a controversial strategy.

David Njoku - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Njoku is in for an extremely tough matchup with the Arizona Cardinals defense, which has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (knee, wrist) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 6 on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

D'Ernest Johnson (RB, CLE) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Johnson's role should be elevated in Week 6 with primary back Nick Chubb ruled out, which puts him in the mix as a deep-league desperation streaming option at running back this week.
