Logan Thomas - Week 13 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Isaiah Crowell Active On Sunday
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (ankle) is active for Week 6 against the Colts. Crowell ran for over 200 yards against the Broncos last week, so perhaps he was a little banged up from that. Regardless, he will play this Sunday and has a good matchup against the Colts defense. While he'll split... Read More
Greg Olsen Playing Against Redskins
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is active for Week 6 against the Redskins. It'll be his first game since re-fracturing his foot in the season opener. Olsen is at risk of re-injury and having his snaps limited, but given the weakness of the position, he'll be on the low-end TE1 radar. When he's... Read More
O.J. Howard Active Against Falcons
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) is active for Week 6 against the Falcons. It's a very favorable matchup against a beat up Atlanta defense, but Howard could be limited in his first game back. Given the weak landscape of tight ends, Howard is still in play as a low-end TE1. His return... Read More
Ryan Tannehill Ruled Out Against Bears
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Bears. Backup Brock Osweiler will start in his place against a fierce Chicago defense that is well-rested coming off their bye week. Osweiler is at best a low-end QB2, and all of Miami's offensive weapons around him should be downgraded... Read More
Dalvin Cook Out In Week 6
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is out in Week 6 against the Cardinals. It's a bit of a surprise, as Cook was expected to play but have his snaps limited. But the Vikings chose to rest him for another weak in a very winnable game against the lowly Cardinals. With Cook out, Latavius... Read More
O.J. Howard Expected To Play
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) is expected to play despite being listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Falcons, according to a source. Howard could be limited, but he should play and steal snaps from Cameron Brate, who is more of a red-zone weapon. Howard will be a little more risky... Read More

Read More

Read More
Isaiah Crowell Expected To Play Against Indy
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (ankle) is expected to suit up against the Colts on Sunday.

Read More
Dalvin Cook Likely To Play Sparingly
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) will likely play on Sunday against the Cardinals, but he will not see a full workload. Though Arizona is one of the worst teams in the league at stopping the run, Cook will likely split carries with running back Latavius Murray, and as a result, both are a... Read More
