D'Andre Swift Expected To Play Against Bengals

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) should be good to go for Sunday's showdown against the Bengals. The sophomore has been dealing with the nagging groin issue since the preseason and has been a frequent member of the injury report as a result. Jamaal Williams (illness, hip) is also expected to see the field. […]

Jamaal Williams Anticipated To Shed Questionable Tag

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (hip, illness) is expected to see the field against Cincinnati. The 26-year-old took it easy during practice during the week, participating sparingly on Wednesday and Friday while taking the day off on Thursday. Despite D'Andre Swift being considered the lead back in the Motor City, Williams has continued to […]

T.J. Hockenson Likely Available Against Cincy

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is projected to be in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Bengals. Hockenson has carried the questionable designation for weeks now because of a knee ailment but has continued to suit up despite it, so his availability shouldn't come as a real surprise. Fantasy managers should continue […]

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. But it's the performances that come from out of nowhere that can leave fantasy managers second-guessing their decision-making. Just take […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

Fantasy football waiver wires will have fewer players that can help you this week. There will be no Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers or New Orleans Saints mentioned in this week’s column. That’s because fantasy football managers will have to deal with their first round of NFL teams being on their bye […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The first week of byes are upon us and while bye weeks are not the hardship for kickers as opposed to other positions, decisions still need to be made. Luckily, fantasy managers will not need to make any decisions this week with the Falcons, Jets, 49ers and Saints on bye. The Bengals vs Packers game […]

D'Andre Swift Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

The Swift call here really sets up nicely for one of my favorite GPP stacks this week as I plan to pair Joe Burrow with some of his pass-catchers and bring it back with D'Andre. Listen, this price is a bit goofy considering the fact that Swift is averaging 18.2 DK points per game and […]

Kalif Raymond Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Raymond has a golden opportunity to be peppered with passes this Sunday since Detroit wideouts Tyrell Williams and Quintez Cephus are both on injured reserve. Even if Williams recovers and returns this week, Raymond has a decent chance to lead the Lions in targets as he had 16 between Weeks 3 and 4 and scored two touchdowns. Teammate Amon-Ra St. […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

It has taken a bit for the rookie wideout to catch on with the Lions, but St. Brown is finally starting to get his chance to shine in this offense. After just six receptions over the first three games, he has seen an uptick in targets (16) and receptions (13) in the last two games. […]

Trade your Studs?

I debated writing this article and risking my reputation as a super famous sportswriter by suggesting such a controversial strategy. But then I realized without risk, like grabbing Ja’Marr Chase in the sixth round, there is no glory. Back to the topic at hand, I will pose this question, “Is depth more valuable than star players […]

T.J. Hockenson Questionable In Week 6

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hockenson has been dealing with this issue for a couple of weeks now, so it seems like something he will continue to be able to play through. Due to the thin nature of the position, no matter […]

D'Andre Swift Questionable In Week 6

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, which has become a familiar weekly occurrence for the sophomore. He has been dealing with this nagging groin issue for most of the season but it doesn't seem like something that should hold him out of action. […]
