Eagles Defense Likely To Get Darius Slay For Sunday’s Game

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has cleared the league’s concussion protocol in time to suit up for Sunday’s game versus Baltimore. With Avonte Maddox (ankle) already out, the Eagles Defense will benefit immensely from having Slay, particularly when facing the high-octane Ravens offense. Slay made a season-high eight tackles last week prior to his... Read More

The hits keep on coming during the 2020 season of fantasy football. Each week that passes by seems to bring yet another major talent crashing down due to injury.

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I was riding high after predicting eight out of the top ten defenses two weeks ago, but we saw some craziness this Sunday (along with some top tier defenses postponed or canceled), which caused only a 50% success rate in identifying top-10 units. Miami throttling San Francisco was truly a surprise, as was a Kansas... Read More

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

This NFL season continues to be the weirdest one that I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’ve seen teams come out and get embarrassed by bottom dwellers, and I just watched Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins absolutely dismantled the San Francisco 49ers. If you ever think that you’re going to be able to accurately predict... Read More

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. (illness) will not be on the team’s active roster for Sunday’s contest versus the Giants as he continues to battle a non-COVID-19 illness.

Breshad Perriman Expects To Suit Up Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) is on track to return to the lineup for Sunday’s contest versus Miami. Perriman has missed each of New York’s three previous contests, with his return giving former teammate Joe Flacco a deep threat against the Dolphins’ secondary. Optimism does not abound surrounding the Jets’ offense, which... Read More

Drew Lock Should Make Expected Return As Starter Sunday

Signs had been pointing toward Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) returning to the field as the starter for Sunday’s game versus New England, and that appears to be the case, barring a last-minute setback. Lock last appeared in Week 2 before a shoulder injury forced him to cede way to a combination of Jeff... Read More

Baker Mayfield Gets Thumbs Up To Start Versus Steelers

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (chest) will suit up for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, a confirmation of his own status that he provided earlier in the week.

Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry Both On Track To Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and Jarvis Landry (hip/ribs) are both set to play in Sunday’s contest against the Steelers despite having had questionable designations throughout the week.

Leonard Fournette Expects To Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will warm-up prior to Sunday’s game, but so long as he has no setbacks, is expected to play versus Green Bay. Fournette last received carries Week 3 against Denver, having battled an ankle injury that has limited him in practice. In the case that he does play,... Read More

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle/end John Cominsky (undisclosed) was placed on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, making him the second Falcon to hit the list this week.

Damiere Byrd Might Be Deep League Option

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd saw a season-high 10 targets during the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cowboys All-In On Andy Dalton As Starting QB At This Stage

The signing of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton was hailed as a savvy maneuver during the off-season as a means of getting Dak Prescott a veteran backup.

Jamaal Williams Dips In Fantasy Intrigue During Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has been utilized as Aaron Jones’ primary backup this season, which already caps his fantasy intrigue, but facing off against a stout Buccaneers Defense Sunday that is yielding just 58.4 yards per game on the ground puts him in an untenable spot. Williams saw a season-high 57 percent... Read More
