Fantasy Football Tight End Preparation for Week 6

Through five weeks of NFL action, there are just five tight ends averaging at least 10 half-PPR PPG and three of them reside in the NFC North.

There were a plethora of disappointing injuries and a handful of surprising performances in Week 5.

Jordan Addison Limited In Practice On Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. This is the first time we've heard about an ankle issue for the rookie wideout but a limited session is better than a DNP at this point in the week. He should be good to go for the Vikings' Week 6 […]

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said he doesn't view wide receiver Justin Jefferson's (hamstring) injury as a season-long injury.

If […]

NFL DFS: Week 6 Matchups First Look - Totals, Salaries, Slates and more

Week 5 saw Ja'Marr Chase "nuke" the main slate with three receiving touchdowns and there I was with too much gosh darn Joe Mixon, who never seems to be able to convert any goal-line carries into touchdowns himself.

Colt McCoy Works Out For The Vikings On Tuesday

Free-agent quarterback Colt McCoy was one of eight players to work out for the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
