RB Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 6 (2024)

It's that time of week again when we examine the matchups at the running back position to help us set our weekly lineups.  It's hard to believe that we are entering Week 6 of the NFL season, a week in which Kyren Williams, Aaron Jones, and De'Von Achane are all on their bye weeks as […]

Is De'Von Achane Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane suffered a concussion during Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Achane ended the game with three carries for 18 yards and one catch for a loss of one. They head into a bye week in Week 6 and next play against the Colts in Week 7. But will […]

Tyler Huntley Expected To Remain The Starting QB

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that he would "guess to forecast" that quarterback Tyler Huntley will remain the team's starting quarterback, regardless of Skylar Thompson's (ribs) status. The Dolphins are on bye in Week 6, but if Thompson is fully recovered from his rib injury coming out of the bye, it still sounds […]

Tua Tagovailoa To Meet With Specialist This Week

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is scheduled to meet with an expert on head injuries during the team's bye in Week 6. It was reported last week that Tagovailoa has been symptom-free since suffering another scary concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, the […]

Top Fantasy Football Injuries From Week 5: Aaron Jones, Nico Collins, De'Von Achane, Rashee Rice, Aaron Rodgers, Zack Moss, Rhamondre Stevenson

The injuries keep on coming during this fantasy football season. Luckily, we haven’t had many season-ending injuries, but there have been plenty of smaller ones that are forcing players out of action. More players were bitten by the injury bug in Week 5. Time to get ahead of things and start making plans for Week […]

De'Von Achane In League's Concussion Protocol

According to Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that running back De'Von Achane (concussion) is in the NFL's concussion protocol. The 22-year-old exited Sunday's contest against the New England Patriots early after taking an end around and colliding head-on with a Pats' defender. Achane had racked […]

10 Worst QB Performances From Week 5, Including Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson

There was great quarterback play and not-so-great quarterback play on display again in Week 5. Players such as Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and C.J. Stroud were again excellent. However, some surprising players wound up on this list this week. As the season wears on, we can start to see trends that will hold for the […]

Jevon Holland Out With Broken Hand

Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland (hand) was forced from the team's 15-10 victory over the New England Patriots with a broken bone in his hand and did not return to the contest. Holland is the team's fourth-leading tackler and defended his first pass of the season in Miami's win on Sunday. However, he was spotted […]

Jonnu Smith Has Modest Performance In Victory

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught 5-of-8 targets for 62 yards in the team's 15-10 victory over the New England Patriots. He lost one yard on his sole carry. Quarterback Tyler Huntley looked improved in his second start, leading Miami to their second win on the season. Despite the mediocre stat total, Smith played […]

Tyreek Hill Posts 69 Yards In Win

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill hauled in 6-of-9 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over their division-rival New England Patriots. It was a decent bounce-back effort for the 30-year-old, who posted his first double-digit fantasy outing since Week 1. It wasn't a world-beating performance, but fantasy managers who stuck with him must […]

Raheem Mostert Totals 98 Yards In Return

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed 19 times for 80 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the New England Patriots. He added two receptions and 18 yards on two targets. It was the 32-year-old's first action since Week 1, and he appeared to be over the chest injury that kept him out of the […]

Jaylen Wright Leads Fins In Rushing

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright toted the rock 13 times for 86 yards in the team's 15-10 victory over their division-rival New England Patriots. The rookie easily saw his most extensive workload of the season in the win and was efficient with his touches (6.6 YPC) -- leading the team in rushing despite seeing […]

Tyler Huntley Leads Miami To Second Victory

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 18-of-31 passes for 194 yards and one interception in Sunday's 15-10 win over the New England Patriots. He also rushed three times for seven yards. The 26-year-old performed better in this one than during a tumultuous Week 4 outing, leading his team to their second victory on the season. […]

De'Von Achane Won't Return On Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) won't return to Sunday's matchup with the New England Patriots. He wasn't on the field long before suffering a concussion, so he'll finish the day with only three carries for 18 yards. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on the shelf, the Dolphins can't afford any more injuries on that […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. A Healthy Scratch In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. He had recovered from a rib injury but evidently doesn't have a spot on Miami's gameday roster with Raheem Mostert returning to the fold and both De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright playing well. Going forward, Wilson […]

Week 5 Fantasy Football Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Zay Flowers, Rico Dowdle, Chase Brown

Week 5 brings bye weeks into the mix to muck up fantasy football lineups. The Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles take their mini-vacation this week. That's unfortunate for the game we love, as both pass defenses are well below average and easy targets for start/sit decisions. At least the league's top pass defense (Tennessee) is […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 5: Dak Prescott, Zack Moss, and Jaylen Waddle

Week 5 of the fantasy football season is underway! October is a much more revealing month historically than September as teams are finding their groove. We often are misled by September results.
