Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel will be hard to trust in a difficult matchup with the Chicago Bears in Week 6. Samuel has been pretty efficient this year on limited looks, as he’s hauled in 19 of 23 targets for 183 receiving yards. That’s the problem though- he’s only seen 23 targets to Robby Anderson‘s 46 and D.J. Moore‘s 37, making him the clear

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper will look to bounce back from a rough Week 5 in a Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Cooper was blanketed in coverage by James Bradberry last week while pretty much every other Cowboys receiving option had a plus matchup, so he was expected to struggle a bit. Still, his two catches for 23 yards was a disappointment

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (illness) did not practice on Thursday. As far as we know, Peterson’s illness isn’t COVID-19-related, so he has a good chance of being active in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The Lions are coming off their bye week and AD had 11 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the Saints. The veteran

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot) was a limited practice participant on Thursday. Barring any setbacks on Friday or Saturday, Slayton should be good to go in Week 6 against Washington. Although the Washington Football Team is holding wideouts to the third-fewest fantasy points through five weeks, Slayton remains a safe WR2 target for fantasy managers with Sterling Shepard still on Injured Reserve.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore faces a tough test in Week 6 against the Bears. Chicago has surrendered the second-fewest fantasy points to enemy wideouts, though they’ve allowed the sixth-most targets. While Moore has taken a backseat to fellow receiver Robby Anderson, this certainly doesn’t mean he’s finished as a fantasy asset. His 37 targets place him among the NFL’s top-20 and he’s also

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard could see a few more touches in Week 6 and going forward with Andy Dalton under center. Starter Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott (ankle) essentially used to share rushing work, but with Prescott done for the year, Pollard could mix in a bit more to spell Elliott. Pollard saw eight touches in Week 5, rushing six times for 30

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott remains a surefire RB1 and could even improve his fantasy production without Dak Prescott (ankle) in the lineup. Week 6 will be Andy Dalton‘s first start as Cowboys quarterback, and while he should be more than able to move the offense, he does not have the rushing talent that Prescott has and won’t be running in touchdowns like Prescott

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson has earned the benefit of the doubt as a must-start option in fantasy football. Anderson is currently tied for sixth in the NFL in targets with 46 and has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in three of five games this season. With three double-digit target games under his belt, the 27-year-old has showcased a safe floor for fantasy managers, particularly

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton will get his first start for the Cowboys in Week 6. Dalton took over for Dak Prescott (ankle) after he was forced from Week 5. Dalton did well, leading the Cowboys to a Week 5 victory. No one will mistake him for Prescott, but Dalton should be more than able to hold his own, especially with a strong receiving corps

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense should not be starting in most fantasy leagues in Week 6. They’ll be taking on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens a week after the Philly defense had no answers for the Steelers. In Week 5, the Eagles allowed 38 points on 367 yards while recording just one sack. They performed exceptionally well in Week 4, but that’s certainly seeming like

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is likely not a top-12 fantasy option in a Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Eagles offense has been struggling to move the ball and will face their toughest challenge yet in the Ravens Defense. Elliott has been solid when given the chance to kick, making seven of his nine field goal tries, but he’s just not getting

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers is not a viable fantasy option for Week 6. The Eagles will take on the Baltimore Ravens, and even with the absence of Dallas Goedert (ankle), Rodgers has not been asked to do much in the passing game. In fact, the Eagles have mostly disregarded their tight ends as Zach Ertz hasn’t done much either. For the reason, Rodgers

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will look to break out of a very slow start to the season in Week 6. He’ll have to do it against a tough Baltimore Ravens Defense and as part of a struggling Eagles offense. Ertz, who as recently as last year was an every-week top-tier fantasy tight end, has caught just 20 passes for 145 yards and one

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green said that he’s not looking to be traded ahead of the upcoming NFL trade deadline. Green said he believes that the Bengals are building something special and wants to be a part of it. The veteran wideout has been a shell of his former All-Pro self in 2020 and also tweaked his hamstring in the Week 5 loss to

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis takes on the Bears in Week 6. It’s a mini-revenge game for Davis, who played in seven games for Chicago in 2019. The veteran should have the keys to Carolina’s backfield for one more week, considering Christian McCaffrey (ankle) wasn’t able to practice Wednesday and is looking doubtful at best. Davis has been excellent, exceeding 20 touches and 90

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) could return to the field in Week 6. He seemed to be trending toward a return in Week 5, getting in a series of limited practices, but was ultimately inactive. Barring any setbacks, he could get back on the field for a Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. It’ll be a tough welcome back, and Jackson is

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot, illness) could suit up and play in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. Jeffery was not ready to start the season due to a foot injury, and then just as he was trending upwards for Week 5, he came down with a non-COVID related illness. Thursday and Friday’s practice reports will tell a more clear story, but Jeffery

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower is not a good starting option for Week 6 fantasy lineups. Hightower was targeted six times in Week 5, catching just two for 18 yards. He had a tough time, as a long touchdown went right through his hands and he failed to get out of bounds on a play near the end of the first half. With

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham exploded in Week 5, catching 10 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown, leading to fantasy managers everywhere rushing to the waiver wire before Week 6. Fulgham may have earned a role on offense, but if Alshon Jeffery (illness) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) are able to return, Fulgham could end up no higher than third on the depth chart,

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater gets a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Bears. Bridgewater has been playing good football lately, with at least 250 passing yards and two touchdowns in two consecutive games. Chicago presents a difficult obstacle though, as they’ve allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers, in addition to ranking sixth in pass DVOA. Bridgewater has been a
