Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has been one of the few bright spots for this offense early in the season. He’s coming off a somewhat lackluster performance in Week 5 where he hauled in two receptions for 50 yards and one touchdown. However, fantasy owners should expect a bounce back game against the New York Jets in Week 6. The Jets Defense hasn’t been

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida saw a season-high nine carries against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. It was a promising outing by Breida who hasn’t done much in the Dolphins offense this season. It doesn’t sound like his fantasy value is going to get much higher with Myles Gaskin becoming the lead back in Miami. Breida might have some deep league appeal

The New England Patriots are canceling their practice on Friday after a positive COVID-19 test, according to a source. There is also a second test that they are awaiting to confirm as a positive. This now puts the team’s Week 6 matchup with the Broncos in doubt after it was already moved back from the originally scheduled date in Week 5. Quarterback Cam Newton and

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard was a healthy scratch for the Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. That wasn’t surprising since Howard has 14 total rushing yards through four games. Myles Gaskin has become the lead back in Miami, while Matt Breida gets a handful of carries each week. Howard has become useless in the Dolphins offense and will hold almost no

If he suits up on Sunday, Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle) should be a strong streaming candidate against a Titans Defense that allows the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Akins hasn’t had a ton of production over his last two games, but did have seven catches in Week 2 against Baltimore back when offensive coordinator Tim Kelly was calling

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has become the lead back this season. The team continues to heavily utilize him in both the running and passing game. Last week, Gaskin rushed 16 times for 57 yards and one touchdown on the ground. He also added five receptions for 34 yards through the air. There is a good chance that Gaskin will top that against the

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has surprisingly held decent fantasy value through the first few weeks of the regular season. Fitzpatrick has thrown for 300 yards or more in each of the last two games. There is a good chance he’ll do it again against the horrendous New York Jets Defense in Week 6. The Dolphins appear fine with letting rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa develop

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb isn’t going to win you a week in fantasy this year, but the slot receiver has been targeted at least five times in three of the last four games and has value in deep leagues. Cobb had a season-high six receptions last week and can provide fantasy managers with double-digit points in full PPR leagues, as he’s accomplished that

2020 has been a weird ride for Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks. He bottomed out in Week 4, failing to record a single reception. But the team moved on from head coach Bill O’Brien after that game, and in the team’s first appearance post-O’Brien, Cooks was targeted a season-high 12 times, catching eight of them for 161 yards and a touchdown. It seems like

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V has now scored a touchdown in three consecutive games, and he’s done it while not playing the one-dimensional, deep-threat role that he’s played in past seasons. Fuller has become a well-rounded option for quarterback Deshaun Watson and has WR2 upside heading into a Week 6 meeting with the Titans. Tennessee is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game

Houston Texans running back David Johnson saw a season-high 17 carries in the first game of the post-Bill O’Brien era last week, while backup running back Duke Johnsonhad just four touches. David Johnson has had some inconsistent games this year, including rushing for just 1.77 yards per carry against the Steelers, but his high share of the running back touches makes him a strong RB2

The 49ers Defense is coming off a disastrous Week 5 performance in which they were absolutely torched by Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins. Fitzpatrick threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns while the Dolphins put 43 points on the board. This week, the 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams, who are averaging 27.2 points per game this year. The 49ers have suffered a lot

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is optimistic about wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) making his return in Week 6 against the Ravens. Jackson has been limited in practice this week, but he’s on track to return after missing the last two games. Even if the oft-injured deep threat returns on Sunday, he’ll be hard to trust against a strong Ravens Defense in an Eagles

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was playing like a fantasy QB2 over the first four games of the NFL season, but with head coach Bill O’Brien gone, he looked more like the expected version of himself last week against the Jaguars. Now, he’ll look to continue that momentum against the Titans this week. Tennessee is coming off a beatdown of the Bills in which they

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. (illness) returned to the team’s facility on Friday and is back in meetings after he missed time this week with a gastrointestinal issue. Haskins remains off the fantasy radar, though, after being demoted to the third-string QB behind Kyle Allen and Alex Smith. It remains unclear if Haskins will be active in Week 6 against the Giants. It’s

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has some clear long-term fantasy appeal, but he’s in a bit of a tough spot this week. The 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. The Rams have allowed just 197.8 passing yards per game this year, the second-fewest in the league. Meanwhile, 49ers starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still working his way back from an

The Indianapolis Colts COVID-19 tests have come back clean and their game against the Bengals in Week 6 on Sunday remains on schedule, according to owner Jim Irsay. Indianapolis was forced to close their practice facilities on Friday after several positive COVID-19 tests. They were the first COVID-19 issues the Colts had experienced since initial screening in late July. Something similar happened to the Jets

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had a disappointing stat-line in Week 5, catching just two passes for 19 yards. However, there were some very promising signs behind those numbers. He had eight targets in the game, which were tied for most on the team along with George Kittle. He also saw 57 snaps, more than any 49ers receiver other than Brandon Aiyuk, who

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is off to the best start of his NFL career in his first year with the Panthers. And he’s no longer just a deep threat because of his elite speed, but a complete wide receiver. Anderson ranks third among receivers with 36 catches entering Week 6, and he’s fourth in receiving yards (489) and first in yards after the

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne scored his first touchdown of the year in Week 5. He was one of the few bright spots in the team’s 43-17 Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Bourne currently leads all 49ers wide receivers with 227 receiving yards on the year, but that’s mostly due to the fact that George Kittle and Deebo Samuel have missed
