Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has emerged as an appealing DFS selection and medium-sized or larger WR3/Flex play for Sunday. Jeudy will have the difficulty of facing off against a stout New England secondary, but with Courtland Sutton (knee), Noah Fant (ankle), and KJ Hamler (hamstring) all out of the equation, the returning Drew Lock should be able to establish a solid rapport with

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jon Brown will be making his NFL debut Sunday, marking the fifth different kicker than the team has utilized already in 2020. Having previously served as a kickoff specialist with Cincinnati, Brown has not attempted an in-game field goal during the regular season, thereby making him the riskiest of options from a fantasy perspective. Sundays game against Detroit projects to be of

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is on the right side of his questionable tag for Sundays matchup against Chicago. Despite having carved out a modest role in the Panthers passing game, Samuel has not yet found the end zone in 2020, making him difficult to roster Sunday against a stout Bears Defense. In the instance that Samuel is forced to depart early or

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) may be out for Sundays contest versus Baltimore, but he is apparently close enough to action that he is expected to return for Thursdays game against the Giants. Jacksons return will be a welcome addition for a wide-receiving corps that will rely on Greg Ward and Travis Fulgham against the Ravens. Throughout his career, Jackson has made numerous

The Chicago Bears Defense entered the year as one of the premier units in the league, but a few lackluster performances early on in the season diminished their stock. They have combined for 11 sacks in their first five games, 3.5 of which have come at the hands of Khalil Mack. That sacking prowess gets put to the test Sunday against Carolina, who has not

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for Sundays contest versus Miami, allowing veteran signal caller Joe Flacco to step in for the second consecutive week. Darnold had been optimistic about returning to the field earlier in the week, but his sprained right AC joint has not healed in time. The Jets offense is undergoing a major overhaul in the

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III is sitting out Sundays contest versus New England due to a non-COVID-19 illness, but he was also arrested earlier in the week on DUI charges. In the wake of the incident, the Broncos do not plan to levy a fine or to suspend Gordon beyond what the U.S. judicial system decides. Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman stand to

After a rollercoaster week of positive COVID-19 announcements from players and coaches alike, the NFL announced Sunday morning: play football. The league came back with no new positive tests ahead of kickoff around the league, with all games given the green light to take place. Fantasy managers can deploy any and all healthy players with confidence (even Broncos and Patriots, finally!), as there is set

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has cleared the leagues concussion protocol in time to suit up for Sundays 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 departure with a concussion, also having defended a pass for

The game scheduled for Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars will go on as planned after the Jaguars announced Sunday morning that they had no new positive COVID-19 tests. Despite having 12 practice squad players (and defensive end Josh Mauro) placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jacksonville has gotten multiple negative tests from all members of its active roster, giving it the green

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. (illness) will not be on the teams active roster for Sundays contest versus the Giants as he continues to battle a non-COVID-19 illness. Kyle Allen will hold down starting QB duties, with Alex Smith serving as his back-up. Its unclear how the Washington QB situation will shake out once Haskins is officially cleared to return, but Allen sounds

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) is on track to return to the lineup for Sundays contest versus Miami. Perriman has missed each of New Yorks 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 makes Perriman a risky play, but if healthy, he could

Signs had been pointing toward Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) returning to the field as the starter for Sundays 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 Driskel and Brett Rypien. Working against Lock is that in

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (chest) will suit up for Sundays game against Pittsburgh, a confirmation of his own status that he provided earlier in the week. Mayfield is battling sore ribs, which could be a target against a defense as aggressive as the Steelers. Working in Mayfields favor is that he has both Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and Jarvis Landry (hip/ribs) active, but Mayfield

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and Jarvis Landry (hip/ribs) are both set to play in Sundays contest against the Steelers despite having had questionable designations throughout the week. Beckhams absence was tied to receiving negative COVID-19 tests, which put him on track to play so long as he felt up to it, while Landry returned to practice Friday and will look to

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will warm-up prior to Sundays 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, hell be far from 100 percent, with reports also having

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle/end John Cominsky (undisclosed) was placed on the leagues reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, making him the second Falcon to hit the list this week. Despite his designation, Cominsky does not necessarily have to have tested positive for the virus, and there is currently no reason to believe that the Falcons/Vikings contest scheduled for Sunday is in danger of not occurring. Cominsky has been

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been vocal about his desire to return to the field ever since departing from a Week 1 outing due to a high ankle sprain. During teammate Cameron Jordans interview with ESPN on Friday, Thomas was heard saying that he would return to action next Sunday when the Saints take on Carolina. Fantasy managers that have been

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd saw a season-high 10 targets during the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He actually led the team in receiving yards that game, but sadly it wasn’t enough to get the win. However, Byrd could fall in the depth chart with quarterback Cam Newton possibly returning for the Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos. It’s

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. Fast-forward to Week 6, and Dalton is the only QB on the active roster to start an NFL game. With the announcement Saturday that the Lions had signed David Blough to their active roster, that leaves Ben DiNucci,
