BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: How amazing is it that the Giants' offense is losing players left and right, but Engram is one of the few healthy guys standing upright?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Was last Sunday a mirage? Was it a flukey performance from Browns TE2 David Njoku?

Week 4’s Monday night matchup between the Raiders and Chargers looked like it wasn't going to deliver after a random 35-minute lightning delay for an indoor stadium.

Darren Waller - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

We haven't seen a spike week since Week 1, but there's always the chance that Waller goes... Read More
T.J. Hockenson - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Hockenson has had a pair of duds in his last two games, combining for only six catches for 52 yards, but he should get back on track in this projected high-scoring affair.
