   That's right, Pete. I'm Frank, and I've got a different answer.

   Nick Vannett Set to Help Fill Durham Smythe Void Veteran blocking tight end Nick Vannett will help fill the void of injured Durham Smythe. Fantasy managers should keep Nick Vannett on the watch list while Durham Smythe is injured.

   Kyler Murray’s First Pass Was a Fantasy Red Flag Kyler Murray’s first pass as a member of the Minnesota Vikings was a hail mary under pressure to a double-covered Jauan Jennings that was intercepted on second down with less than a minute elapsed in the first quarter of a 0-0 game. The fantasy red flag Kyler Murray's first pass as a member of the Minnesota Vikings was a hail mary thrown under pressure to a double-covered Jauan Jennings, and it was intercepted. That came on second down with less than a minute elapsed in the first quarter of a 0-0 game.

   For fantasy managers, pressure, double coverage and an interception make for a brutal opening signal.

   Jamaal Williams rumor: 2024 is the fantasy-football fact that matters Running back Jamaal Williams last played in the NFL in 2024. Jamaal Williams is back in the rumor mill, and the fantasy angle is simple: running back Jamaal Williams last played in the NFL in 2024. That's a watchlist note, not a lineup lock.

   Bucs, Jalon Daniels-led offense could be in a prime-time track meet The Bucs will try to get more out of a Jalon Daniels-led offense in what could be a track meet in prime time against the NFL's second-highest scoring team.

    Shawn Hubbard/Baltimore Ravens Photos TE Nick Vannett The Ravens have signed tight end Nick Vannett to their 53-man roster, pulling the veteran up from the practice squad to help offset the loss of Durham Smythe.

He's in his 11 th season with 121 games and 54 starts under his belt. The Ravens originally signed him to their practice squad on Sept.

12. Podcaster Pete

    2. Vannett split last season between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams, playing in 10 games. He wasn't targeted by any passes and saw 55 total snaps.

    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' quest for their first victory of 2026 will continue in prime time in Week Five as the team heads to Dallas for a Thursday night contest against the high-powered 2-2 Cowboys. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and the game will be broadcast nationally by Prime Video. The 0-4 Buccaneers will attempt to get more out of rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels and the overall offense while Baker Mayfield remains out with a thumb injury. Daniels made his NFL starting debut last Sunday in a 17-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers and directed a pair of impressive touchdown drives but was also intercepted twice.

23. Fantasy Frank

    The Bucs ran for 141 yards against Green Bay, including a helpful 55 from Daniels, while the defense continued to emerge as a top-10 unit, holding a third straight opponent under 285 yards of total offense. That defense also had its first multi-takeaway performance of the season but didn't record a sack as consistent pressure on the quarterback has evaded the unit. Dallas is 2-2 and just a game behind the New York Giants in the NFC East after surviving an instate shootout in Houston in Week Four. The Cowboys scor
