The Philadelphia Eagles offense is still in poor shape, as they are without Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson once again. Tight end Hakeem Butler — a college wide receiver — is inactive as well. So, it looks like another week for Greg Ward to serve as the team’s primary wide receiver. Ward’s a solid WR3 play this week with upside due to his projected target

The Baltimore Ravens will have three players who were questionable for their Week 5 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee/illness), wide receiver Marquise Brown (knee), and tight end Mark Andrews (thigh) will all be on the field. Jackson and Andrews are top plays at their position in season-long leagues, with Brown being an upside WR2 option as the only consistent wide receiver

The Jacksonville Jaguars Defense will be weakened in Week 5, with defensive end Josh Allen (knee) being declared inactive. With linebacker Myles Jacks (ankle) and defensive back C.J. Henderson (shoulder) also out, the Jaguars are in bad shape as they prepare to face the Texans and their potentially explosive offense. This isn’t the week to play the Jaguars defense in season-long or DFS. Source: Jacksonville

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (concussion) won’t play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Akins was setting up to be an interesting streaming option if he played, but now it will be Darren Fells manning the starting role for Houston. Fells is a boom/bust play who has a good nose for the end zone, but he’s not the same weapon that Akins would have

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) will not play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. With Jones out, Calvin Ridley is a clear WR1 play, while Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus see a major boost against a weak Panthers Defense. Hopefully, Jones is back when the Falcons next see the field. Source: Atlanta Falcons

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III (knee/hamstring) will be active on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, as will right tackle Trent Brown. The speedster out of Alabama was the first wide receiver taken in this year’s NFL Draft but has played in just two games so far, playing between 60 and 70 percent of snaps in each one. Ruggs’s speed gives him

With the Broncos and Patriots game postponed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter says that sources tell him the following changes to the schedule will take place as long as Tuesday’s Bills/Titans game is a go. Broncos/Patriots will take place next Sunday, while the Chargers and Broncos game will move to Week 8 to replace Denver’s original bye week. The Dolphins and Broncos game will move to Week

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith has 13 catches for 181 yards and three touchdowns through Tennessee’s first three games, and he’s in a good spot to keep rolling in week five. He faces a Bills Defense that has allowed the most yards (359) and the third-most receptions (31) to tight ends this season. The Titans haven’t practiced much this week, but they should get

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is trending towards playing Tuesday against the Bills. He’s been recovering from a knee injury but he’ll have a tough matchup on his hands in All-Pro cornerback Tre’Davious White, so fantasy managers may want to calm their expectations. Fellow wide receiver Corey Davis was put on the reserve / COVID-19 list, so the Bills will likely key in

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. not only wont be starting Sundays contest against Los Angeles, hell be inactive. Haskins will not even be inside the stadium for the game, which is slated to see Kyle Allen make his first start at the helm with Washington. Backing him up will be Alex Smith, who has also made a push for playing time. Haskins has

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will have fresh legs after a week off, but the workhorse back will face a tough matchup with a tough Buffalo front line that just held Josh Jacobs to under 50 yards on the ground last week. Henry carried the ball 26 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s week three win over the Vikings. He

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez will match up Sunday against a Jets team that is tied for allowing the second-most points to opposing kickers this season. Available in nearly 40 percent of ESPN season-long leagues, Gonzalez is an excellent upside play for those who dont have a consistent kicker, or are eyeing a one-week wave of production. Having missed just one field goal inside of

The Los Angeles Rams Defense was going to be a solid play Sunday against Washington no matter who was under center due to the way that the teams offense has scuffled this season, but with Kyle Allen making his first start for the team, their advantageous situation only increased. Allen showed flashes last year while with Carolina of high level play, but he also tossed

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (COVID-19) did not appear in line to play Monday versus Denver as he works his way back from a positive COVID-19 test. But in the wake of the decision to postpone the contest until next Sunday due to new COVID-19 positives within the Patriots organization, what once appeared to be a game started by Jarrett Stidham, may be started

The Cleveland Browns Defense has gotten off to a strong start in 2020 when it comes to sacking the opposing quarterback, even if other areas have been lacking. With 11 sacks through its first four games, Cleveland has been able to somewhat offset its 31.5 points per game allowed average through constant pressure. Five of those sacks belong to Myles Garrett, who leads the league,

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward enjoyed a sharp uptick in fantasy appeal at the conclusion of 2019 due to the widespread injuries that turned him into the teams top wideout. With Alshon Jeffery (foot), DeSean Jackson (hamstring), and Jalen Reagor (thumb) all sidelined Sunday versus Pittsburgh, Ward returns to WR1 status for the Eagles, even as that makes him more of a WR3/Flex option

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon went from being a potential RB2/Flex option for Sundays game versus Miami to a likely bench commodity due to the likelihood of Raheem Mostert (knee) returning. McKinnon excelled in Mosterts absence, having reeled off three consecutive games with a rushing touchdown. His production during that stretch will likely keep him in the mix, and he may have some

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) was going to be a game-time decision for Mondays contest versus the Patriots, but after the game was postponed until next Sunday, he is now in line to return as the teams starter. Having sustained a strained right rotator cuff Week 2, Lock has ceded starting signal caller duties to the duo of Jeff Driskel and Brett Rypien. After

The contest between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots that was scheduled for Monday has been postponed, with an expected date of play coming next Sunday in the wake of new positive COVID-19 tests for members of the Patriots organization. The Broncos had been slated to play Miami next Sunday, although the future of that contest remains in flux as the league adjusts on

The Baltimore Ravens Defense will have the benefit of having both cornerbacks Marcus Peters (thigh) and Jimmy Smith (knee) available for Sundays contest against Cincinnati after both had questionable designations coming into the game. Peters figures to play a sizable role in defending the Bengals passing game, with Smith figuring to continue pitching in on a reserve basis. Both players have combined for 12 tackles
