Laquon Treadwell Carries Deep League Flex Appeal For Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 9:19 AM

The Indianapolis Colts will face the Pittsburgh Steelers' middling pass defense in Week 5, and WR Laquon Treadwell is set to start and play a large snap share in the game. Colts WR1 Alec Pierce (heel) and depth WR Ashton Dulin (hamstring) will both miss the game with injuries, and WR Keenan Allen (groin) is uncertain to play. Treadwell was targeted six times in Week 4, catching five passes for 42 yards and leading the team in receiving. The matchup with the Steelers is just fine, as they allow just-below-average fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. Treadwell has bounced around NFL teams since he was drafted in the first round, and probably doesn't have a ton of upside, but in deep leagues he can be a decent volume play. Colts QB Daniel Jones doesn't have many other options to throw it to due to there being so many injuries. Treat Treadwell as a WR4 and deep league flex option for Week 5 in fantasy football.

Cardinals Select Texas Tech Receiver Reggie Virgil in the Fifth Round

Saturday, April 25, 10:22 AM

The Arizona Cardinals have selected Texas Tech wide receiver Reggie Virgil with the 143rd overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. A transfer from Miami-Ohio, Virgil excelled during his first and only season at Texas Tech, catching 57 passes for 705 yards and six touchdowns. He also coverted his two rushing attempts into two rushing touchdowns. With good hands and route-running skills, Virgil has a chance to produce in a depth role as early as his rookie season. He'll presumably spend this summer competing for the No. 4 receiver role behind Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Kendrick Bourne.
