Fantasy Football Booms, Busts: Week 6 Lineups

Week 6 will be a test for fantasy football players and owners. This the NFL’s first bye week of the season where more than two teams are off. The good news for fantasy players is that the four teams on bye – Chicago, Indianapolis, Buffalo and Oakland – are not exactly loaded with explosive offenses […]

Stash Running Backs the Right Way

For those who don't know, I am the #AllBenchRB guy and I will reiterate what that means if you didn't peep my primer last year. I believe that your bench should be filled with RBs. RBs are the most injury prone and RB depth charts the most variable providing you with the greatest opportunity to […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Returns To Full Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf, hamstring) practiced in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday. The Packers will surely need Valdes-Scantling active on Monday night against the Lions with Davante Adams (toe) not expected to play for the second straight week. MVS didn't take advantage last week against the Cowboys, catching […]

Davante Adams Unsure When He'll Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is unsure as to when he'll return to action after suffering from a mild case of turf toe. He missed Week 5, hasn't practiced yet this week and seems doubtful to play on Monday night against the Lions. "I can’t really tell you when I’m going to […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 6

This is Christian McCaffrey's fantasy world and we're all just living in it. At this point, it's just that simple, as it doesn't seem to matter who he's playing with or against. Run CMC is running and catching whatever and whenever he wants. If you played against him in Week 5 (*cough-cough*), you probably got […]

Packers Defense A Great Streaming Option This Week

The Green Bay Packers Defense is a great streaming option this week against the Detroit Lions at home. The Packers have been a constant threat this season on defense, with their improved pass rush forcing quarterbacks to make poor decisions in the pocket. The Packers secondary unit has also vastly improved since last season. With a […]

Mason Crosby An Effective Starter This Week Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby should be an effective starter for his matchup against the Detroit Lions. Crosby has only missed one kick all season, which was from long distance. The Packers offense has needed to call upon their veteran kicker when their offense has stalled in the opposition's half this season and are […]

Jimmy Graham An Effective Tight End Option Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham could prove to be an effective starting tight end option in his matchup against the Detroit Lions. Graham struggled in the early part of the season to get involved in the offense, but has been targeted 12 times in the past two weeks. The Lions are one of […]

Aaron Rodgers Limited In Practice With Knee Injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was added to the Week 6 injury report on Thursday with a knee injury. While it's likely that Rodgers plays against the Detroit Lions, it is worth considering his outlook with lead receiver Davante Adams (toe) looking likely to miss the game. If Rodgers is unable to move around freely, […]

Geronimo Allison Could Be A Flex Option Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison could be an effective flex option this week against the Detroit Lions, but only if Davante Adams (toe) misses the game. Allison continued to operate out of the slot for the Packers against the Dallas Cowboys when Adams wasn't in the lineup last week. While the Lions have been […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Borderline Starting Option Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a borderline starting wide receiver for fantasy owners in his matchup against the Detroit Lions. Valdes-Scantling struggled in the matchup against the Dallas Cowboys when he drew coverage as the primary receiving option. The Detroit Lions have given up an average of just 20.7 points to the […]

Davante Adams Not Optimistic About Playing Monday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) doesn't sound optimistic about playing on Monday night against the Lions. The team does not want Adams to aggravate his turf toe and jeopardize the rest of the season. "It doesn't feel how I want it to feel at the moment," Adams said. Especially with the game […]

Aaron Jones A Must-Start Against The Detroit Lions

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had a matchup-winning week in Week 5 and looks set to continue that into the matchup against the Detroit Lions. Jones was given a workhorse role last week against the Dallas Cowboys and rushed for 182 yards and four touchdowns. The Lions were an effective unit against the […]

Jamaal Williams Clears Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (head) returned to practice on Thursday after clearing the concussion protocol. Williams is expected to be active in a limited capacity for the team's Week 6 contest against the Detroit Lions. However, thanks to his pass-blocking strengths, he should maintain usage in the passing game. While the veteran […]

Aaron Rodgers Could Continue To Struggle Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could continue his struggle for fantasy owners this week against the Detroit Lions. Rodgers has had a disappointing start to the season for fantasy owners, partly due to surrounding injuries and partly due to the team having success on the ground and moving away from passing the ball. The […]

Davante Adams Missing Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is not practicing on Thursday. It's not a good start to the practice week for Adams, who missed Week 5 with a mild case of turf toe. He'll be an extremely risky fantasy option again in Week 6 with the Packers facing the Lions on Monday night. […]

Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison had a disappointing showing in Week 5, catching just two passes for 28 yards.

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 5 Outliers

In Week 5, there were several players that exploded in fantasy lineups, scoring multiple touchdowns. Wide receivers Will Fuller, Michael Thomas, D.J. Chark, Adam Thielen, Chris Godwin and Allen Robinson all had multiple receiving touchdowns and should have been in fantasy lineups in leagues of all sizes. Although these studs had huge performances, Week 5 […]
