It seems like half the league is on bye thanks to all the fantasy talent missing this week. Yet, the schedule makers were still able to rustle up a seemingly bland Thursday Night Football matchup between the spiraling Denver Broncos and injury-ravaged Cleveland Browns.

After opening the season 3-0, Denver has dropped three straight and hopes to take advantage of the short-handed Browns. Meanwhile, Cleveland has also dropped two straight and enters this week 3-3.

So what kind of impact will Cleveland’s injuries have and what kind of fantasy performances can we expect in the Week 7 version of our Thursday Night Football preview?

Thursday Night Football games sometimes involve losing teams that are forced to trot out an abbreviated playbook. This often leads to sloppy, low-scoring games that leave a little something to be desired.

That won’t be the case in Week 6 as the 4-1 defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers bring their high-octane offense into Lincoln Financial Field to take on the 2-3 Philadelphia Eagles in a game that featured the third-highest over/under (52.5) total on the Week 6 slate.

So what can fantasy football and sports betting fans expect to see in tonight’s matchup?

The NFC West is the toughest division in football, with all four teams boasting powerful offenses and being legitimate playoff contenders. Playing on a short-rest week is never ideal, but this battle between the 3-1 Los Angeles Rams and the NFL’s sole remaining unbeaten, the 4-0 Arizona Cardinals, should be an exciting matchup.

This showdown opened at 54.5 points, the second-highest over/under on this Week 5 slate, and has not dipped. We should expect to see plenty of fireworks, which means there’s a lot for fantasy football fans to take in.

Let’s break down what we can expect to see in tonight’s showdown.

As nice as it is to have an extra night of NFL action, sometimes the Thursday Night Football games don’t live up to expectations. For Week 4, we have an interesting matchup of the two most recent No. 1 overall picks, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals versus Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Although it’s not the most intriguing matchup on paper, there are still plenty of fantasy ramifications at stake in this game as Burrow tries to elevate the Bengals to a surprising 3-1 start and Lawrence tries for his first win.

How should fantasy football and sports betting fans approach what looks to be a potentially exciting primetime matchup?

Thursday Night Football games can be quite polarizing. On one hand, it’s great to have another night of NFL action for football fans to absorb, but on the other hand, the matchups often leave a lot to be desired and the games, on abbreviated rest, tend to be difficult to handicap.

Week 3 is a prime example of the downside of these games as the injury-plagued Texans host a red-hot Carolina squad. The undefeated Panthers’ defense has stepped up and the Texans will be forced to trot out their backup quarterback. Can the Texans improve to 3-0 against the spread as sizable home underdogs?
