Packers WR DeVante Adams expected to play Week 5

Oct 06, 2018

Packers’ WR Davante Adams, listed as questionable for Sunday with a calf injury, is expected to play vs. the Lions, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

With Randall Cobb already out and Geronimo Allison (concussion) facing an uphill battle to play, Adams should see an increase of targets if he can avoid Darius Slay in coverage.

Cowboys players reportedly lash out at staff

Cowboys players initially bought into keeping things internal. Now as they sit 2-4 the discontent is leaking out.

Fantasy Impact:

A comment about the coaches said, “totally unprepared. They don’t teach. They don’t have any sense of adjusting on the fly.” Another comment said, “they just aren’t good at their jobs.” In the staff's defense, we had a story earlier today about RB Ezekiel Elliott fumbling five times in his last five games so it can't all be on the coaches. Still, this is a situation to watch. The Dallas defense is a prime target to pit players against for fantasy owners and even the Cards RB Kenyan Drake finally busted out this week. Things seem to be coming apart quickly in Dallas.

Diontae Johnson being available to practice tomorrow is significant since he had been taking Wednesdays off.

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson is dealing with a toe injury as well as a back injury. But Lolley is assuming both injuries are better and Johnson could very well be good to go in Week 7. If Johnson is able to go, it could be an interesting and crowded WR situation for fantasy owners.

Tua Tagovailoa named the starter

According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, the Miami Dolphins have named rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa the starter coming out of their Week 7 bye.

Fantasy Impact:

Wow! Following the glowing offseason reports about his recovery, most expected Tua to make starts at some point of his rookie season, however, Ryan Fitzpatrick's strong play of late, and the fact that the Dolphins are at .500 had many thinking the switch could be delayed. Apparently, head coach Brian Flores had other plans and is eager to get his talented rookie signal-caller under center. Tua could eventually work his way into the streaming conversation in single QB leagues, but he is an immediate impact player in superflex formats. If possible, fade him in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams before deciding on whether to plug him in going forward.
