Cole Beasley Not a Good Choice for a Week 6 Lineup
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley is not a recommended fantasy option for a Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Michael Gallup Not an Option for Week 6 Matchups
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a starting option in any format for Week 6. The Cowboys offense is struggling to move the ball through the air, and they get to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, the league's best pass defense, this week. In five games, Gallup has put up six catches... Read More
Allen Hurns Not a Fantasy Option in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns remains well off the fantasy radar for a Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hurns has caught a grand total of eight passes this season, gaining 84 yards and scoring one touchdown. That's not even a WR1 game most weeks, let alone when it is five weeks combined.... Read More
Lamar Miller Says He'll Play
Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) said he will definitely play in Week 6 against the Bills. Miller was active last Sunday night but didn't play at all, and he's been a disappointment to fantasy owners with no rushing touchdowns in four games. If he continues to struggle, D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) could be in... Read More
Rookies Worth Your Attention in Week 6
In this column, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally,... Read More
Greg Olsen Practicing Wednesday
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is practicing on Wednesday as he attempts to return from his injury in Week 6 against the Redskins.

Denzel Ward Continues To Impress
Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward, the fourth overall pick, continues to impress with his overall play through five games in his rookie season. “He was everywhere,” defensive end Myles Garrett said. “He had a game just like he did in the first game of the season, where he was ball hawking and on top...

Rashaad Penny The Third Option In Seattle Backfield
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, the team's first-round pick, played zero offensive snaps and just one snap on special teams in the Week 5 loss to the Rams. Seattle has rediscovered their ground game with an NFL-leading 473 yards in the last three games, but Penny has not been very involved. He has... Read More
Ezekiel Elliott Is the Only Cowboy Worth Using in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the only Cowboys offensive player worth using in fantasy leagues in Week 6. Elliott has been held to 90 total yards or less in three of the five games so far this season, but he's still a usage hog, getting an average of 23 touches per week. He... Read More
Dak Prescott Set to Disappoint Again in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 6. He hasn't finished in the top half of quarterback scoring in any game this season, and he now gets to take on the league's best pass defense. The Cowboys, in fact, have now gone eight straight games without scoring more than... Read More
Dak Prescott Struggling With Accuracy
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has struggled with his accuracy, and he has just 961 yards passing through five games with a 61.8 completion percentage and an 81.4 passer rating.

Deshaun Watson Has Chance To Play Against Bills
When asked if Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest) had a chance to play in Week 6 against the Bills, head coach Bill O'Brien said, "Oh yeah." Houston is being rather coy about how seriously Watson was injured after taking multiple heavy hits on scrambles against the Cowboys on Sunday night. He might miss some... Read More
T.Y. Hilton, Jack Doyle Remain Week-To-Week
Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) and tight end Jack Doyle (hip) remain week-to-week. It doesn't sound like either player is close to returning for Week 6 against the Jets, but we'll have to wait and see how much they can do in practice this week. If neither play... Read More
49ers Work Out Running Backs
The San Francisco 49ers worked out free-agent running backs Charcandrick West, Matt Dayes, Shane Vereen, Andre Ellington and Jeremy McNichols this week and signed Dayes to their practice squad, according to a source. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable to play on Monday night against Green Bay, the Niners are looking for some depth at... Read More
Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown Haven't Been On Same Page
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown leads the league with 21 incompletions on inaccurate passes from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. It's somewhat concerning that Brown and Big Ben haven't hooked up more often this year, but the two connected for two second-half touchdowns in the Week 5 win over the Falcons, and Brown had his first... Read More
Ben Roethlisberger Goes To Bat For James Conner
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks running back James Conner absolutely needs to remain in the game plan when Le'Veon Bell returns from his holdout in Week 8. Conner had 110 rushing yards, 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 and has been great in Bell's absence. “And I will push for James... Read More
Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood Could Mix and Match
The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to use running backs Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood in a tandem approach on Thursday night against the Giants. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Zach Berman believes the Eagles trust Smallwood much more than they did last year and have been happy with the way he's played in 2018. Clement is the... Read More

Welcome back to "The Tape Tells All," where this week I'll be looking at Jets running back Isaiah Crowell, who ran for 219 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries against the Denver Broncos in Week 5.

Leonard Fournette Officially Ruled Out For Week 6
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Week 6 against the Cowboys, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Fournette's disappointing season continues, and he's not necessarily a lock to return in Week 7 either. Until he's back, T.J. Yeldon will continue to be the man in the backfield and... Read More
Zach Ertz Looking to Continue His Excellent Season in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will look to continue his excellent start to the season on Thursday Night Football against the New York Giants.

Nelson Agholor Quickly Falling Out of Fantasy Relevance
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor hasn't been able to do much this season and has become a player who can't be trusted in starting lineups in shallow leagues. Agholor and the Eagles take on the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football, and he should be left on the bench in all leagues. He's... Read More
Alshon Jeffery Could Struggle in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery could struggle in Week 6 against the New York Giants. Jeffery has looked healthy since getting a late start to the season due to a shoulder injury, but he'll be taking on Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins on Thursday Night Football. Last year, Jeffery only came down with eight total... Read More
Wendell Smallwood a Solid Option in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood is a solid option for Week 6 against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement was deemed "100 percent, good to go" for Week 6 by coach Doug Pederson.

Despite coming off a quad injury, Clement is the preferred fantasy option this week... Read More
Carson Wentz a Decent Option in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a decent option in fantasy for Week 6. The Eagles take on the Giants on Thursday Night Football, and the rivalry game always makes for good TV. Wentz has improved each week, finishing as the QB22, QB15, and QB8 in his three starts so far. The Giants have been... Read More
David Njoku Looking To Break Out In Week 6
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has shown positive signs over the past two weeks of action. The second-year tight end has drawn 18 targets over that span, which coincides with Baker Mayfield's first two NFL starts. Njoku appears to be entrenching himself as the No. 2 option in the passing game after Jarvis Landry... Read More
Antonio Callaway Tough To Trust In Week 6
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway will be tough to trust in his Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry will look to snap a streak of two straight games of less than 70 yards when he suits up against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.

Duke Johnson Can't Be Trusted In Week 6
Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson has been struggling to see touches in Todd Haley's offense in 2018. Through five games, Johnson has seen just 27 touches. While he used to be a solid RB2 in PPR leagues, the Browns just aren't using him as much this season, which makes him hard to trust in... Read More
