Is Jarrett Stidham for real? Has Miles Sanders gone from featured tailback to timeshare guy? Can Alexander Mattison, Corey Clement and Khalil Herbert provide a boost for your team this Sunday? Senior columnist Matt Wilson answers those questions and sifts ...

Detroit is expected to have both running back D'Andre Swift and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown back against the Dolphins. Both players are essentially must-starts when healthy, but while the Dolphins have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year it's still difficult to trust Jared Goff given than his last touchdown pass came in Week 4.

Ezekiel Elliott along with Julio Jones lead the “big name” list this week for players that will not play today.  Michael Thomas is also headed for the IR and won’t be back until New Orleans’ playoffs.

The game will be a Week 5 bye instead for both teams. The Tennessee and Buffalo game on Tuesday is now also in doubt due to another positive Titans test.

Let's not pretend like there's anything else to talk about today other than the game-ending fracas between the Steelers and Browns on Thursday Night Football. Here's my summary: Myles Garrett is an animal, Mason Rudolph and Larry Ogunjobi are punks, Mike Tomlin is an idiot, and Maurice Pouncey is a hero.

With more starting experience and a significantly improved group up front, it’s fair to assume that his numbers will be better in 2019. Still, it’s unlikely that Jacoby Brissett will be a fantasy starter himself, so it’s more worthwhile to analyze the effect he will have on the team’s other players.

Despite still playing the quarterback position at a high level through his late thirties, Roethlisberger's fantasy stock took a huge hit this past Spring, as disgruntled star receiver Antonio Brown was shipped to the West Coast in a trade with the Raiders.

While Kirk Cousins' inaugural season with the Vikings wasn't exactly a smashing success from a real-life perspective (the Vikings missed the playoffs), he did prove useful for fantasy owners, finishing as the overall QB11.

Cam Newton ended up being shut down for his team’s remaining two contests, and reportedly underwent arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder this past January, making it the second time in the past two years Newton has needed an operation on this throwing arm.

The news that broke Monday afternoon was a doozy. As ESPN reported, tailback Kareem Hunt, who led the NFL in rushing two years ago before being released by the Kansas City Chiefs last November after video emerged of him assaulting a woman, was signed to a one-year deal by the Cleveland Browns.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Vikings make use of Dalvin Cook. Coming off a bye, the Vikings' coaching staff stated this week that they had no concerns about Cook participating in full practices-- great news for fantasy owners...

Kareem Hunt is starting to ball the last couple of weeks: as a matter of fact, he’s moved up five spots – from #11 to #6 – in just one week. If you’re playing Kansas City, I’m sure every team looks to take away the pass and risk having Hunt beat them ... which means Hunt should be seeing a lot of open space on Sundays for the remainder of the season.

Delanie Walker is probably still a very underrated tight end; he rarely has explosive games, yet here we are again at the end of the season and Walker finds himself in the Top Five.

For the first time this season, the top TE in the rankings is not Zach Ertz or Rob Gronkowski; the Chiefs Travis Kelce now occupies the top spot.

Tevin Coleman is probably getting the majority of the action in the Atlanta backfield this weekend, since starter Devonta Freeman is in the league's concussion protocol. There's an argument to be made that Coleman could be starting at running back for over half the teams in the NFL.

I've had enough of the Ezekiel Elliott situation. Time for the Cowboys to shut the RB down, have him serve the six games and be ready for a playoff run. This on again, off again stuff is not just frustrating, it is a questionable strategy on the part of Elliott and the Cowboys.

Despite losing rookie QB sensation Deshaun Watson for the season, WR DeAndre Hopkins sits on top of this week's match-ups. Teammate Will Fuller sees a drop in standing due to the perceived inability of new Houston QB Tom Savage to throw as good a deep ball as Watson.

Look like it's going to be a dog fight for the top spot among the TE all season long! Eagles TE Zach Ertz pulled ahead of Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski, based on Ertz' Monday Night Football performance.

The play of Todd Gurley has been simply outstanding thus far, as has that of Kareem Hunt. Even though Christian McCaffrey hasn't been able to get going running the ball, he's been a great addition to the Panthers' passing game, and should always provide a nice floor for owners.

You know what a good rule of thumb is for fantasy football? No matter how crappy a quarterback may be, he instantly becomes a Top-10 play if he's going up against the Saints' defense-- so that explains why you see Jay Cutler on this list.
