Fantasy News

Matt Ryan had x-rays on his foot but is fine.

The x-rays were negative, and Falcons head coach Dan Quinn says Matty Ice is ready to go. The Falcons are 1-4 and need their MVP quarterback under-center if they’re going to turn this season around. There’s a lot of football left to be played, and the Falcons will try to get back on track this Sunday against the Buccaneers. Ryan will be one of the top fantasy quarterback options of the week in a great matchup.

Allen Hurns scores first touchdown as a Cowboys in Week 5 loss.

Hurns caught a three-yard touchdown pass in the second half for his only reception of the game and Dallas’ only touchdown of the game. The former Jaguar will face his former team next week, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option and doesn’t need to be owned in redraft leagues.

Blake Jarwin catches first career pass in Week 5.

The 2017 undrafted free agent caught an 11-yard pass in the overtime loss to the Texans. Jarwin is not a fantasy option at the moment, but congrats to him on his first career reception.

Michael Gallup catches one pass in loss to the Texans.

It went for six yards. The third-round pick has caught a pass in every game to start his career, but it’s led to just six receptions for 82 yards. He doesn’t need to be owned in redraft leagues heading into a matchup with the Jaguars.

Cole Beasley catches just one pass in Week 5 loss.

Beasley hauled in one-of-three targets for eight yards against Houston, as he failed to create much separation out of the slot. Next week against Jacksonville would seem to be best attacked inside, but Beasley doesn’t carry a ton of upside, even in PPR formats.

Deonte Thompson caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday night’s loss to the Texans.

Thompson isn’t a recommended fantasy option with 11 receptions for 102 yards through five games. He gets the Jaguars in Week 6.

Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss Week 6, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

This was fully expected, and it means T.J. Yeldon will again carry the load this Sunday against Dallas. With Corey Grant (Lisfranc) out for the reason, the Jaguars probably have to add someone to their backfield. Fournette is questionable at best for a Week 7 matchup against the Texans.
