Josh Allen Might Be Risky In Week 17

There's been nothing yet to suggest that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won't start the team's Week 17 matchup against the Jets. However, the Bills are locked into the fifth seed in the AFC and with nothing to play for in Week 17, the Bills could very well end up resting Allen for around half […]

Derrick Jones (SF/PF, MIA) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones has been stuffing the stat sheet as one of the first players off the bench for the Heat the past few weeks. Over his past five games, he's hit seven threes while recording nine steals and four blocks […]

Bismack Biyombo (PF/C, CHA) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Charlotte Hornets power forward/center Bismack Biyombo has been posting some gaudy rebounding numbers the past few weeks and they can't be ignored by anyone in leagues of 12 teams or deeper. Biyombo grabbed a season-high 17 boards against the Pacers on December 15, […]

Chris Boucher (PF/C, TOR) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Toronto Raptors power forward/center Chris Boucher should be seeing a substantial increase in playing time with both Marc Gasol (hamstring) and Pascal Siakam (groin) out indefinitely. Boucher saw some extra run in November while Serge Ibaka was hurt and proved to have some solid […]

Donte DiVincenzo (SG, MIL) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Donte Divincenzo has received some steady playing time this year, especially since the team lost Eric Bledsoe (leg) to a broken fibula. Bledsoe should be out at least another week, which makes DiVencenzo a fantastic short-term add, but he could […]

Bills Defense Surrenders Over 400 Yards To Patriots

The Bills Defense struggled in Week 16 against the Patriots. They allowed the Patriots to record 414 yards from scrimmage in the game, on their way to 24 points and a victory. The Bills failed to record a single sack on quarterback Tom Brady and they only came up with one turnover, a Rex Burkhead […]

Dawson Knox Catches Just One Pass In Week 16

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox had one of the Bills' biggest plays from scrimmage in Week 16 against the Patriots. He caught a 33-yard pass from quarterback Josh Allen, but unfortunately, it was Knox's only reception in the game. Knox was targeted four times in the game, which was tied for second on the […]

Frank Gore Doesn't See A Single Touch In Week 16

For the first time all year, Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore went without a touch in a game in Week 16. All 15 of the team's running back carries went to No. 1 running back Devin Singletary, who rushed for 46 yards in the game. Gore has been really struggling lately, averaging fewer than […]

Matt Duchene Records Two Assists In Thursday's Loss

Nashville Predators center Matt Duchene provided two assists in his team's 5-4 loss to the Senators on Thursday. Duchene now has 15 assists to go along with eight goals over 33 games this year. He's third on the Predators in assists behind defensemen Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis, the latter of whom also recorded two […]

Jean-Gabriel Pageau Tallies Three Assists On Thursday

Ottawa Senators center Jean-Gabriel Pageau helped lead the team to a 5-4 victory over the Predators on Thursday. Pageau recorded a game-high three points, all assists. He now has 11 assists to go along with 16 goals over 36 games this year. Pageau is on pace for a career-best season. His best scoring year to […]

Anthony Duclair Nets Game-Winner Versus Predators

Ottawa Senators left wing Anthony Duclair kept his red-hot December going on Thursday night as he scored an overtime game-winner to lift the Senators over the Predators 5-4. Duclair also added an assist in the game. It's been a fantastic month for Duclair as he now has nine goals and two assists in nine games. […]

Falcons Defense Shouldn't Be Trusted In Week 16

The Falcons Defense looks like a decent fantasy option for Week 16 on paper. They've had some standout efforts in the second half of the season and have allowed only two of their past six opponents to top 22 points in a game. In Week 16, they face a Jaguars team that is averaging 17.9 […]

Keep Rolling With Younghoe Koo In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo has excelled since joining the Falcons in November. He's hit 17-of-19 field goal attempts, including several from over 40 yards. He's attempted three field goals-or-more in all but one of his six games with the team. This week, the Falcons face the Jaguars in a game that should have a […]

Austin Hooper Is A Strong Starting Option In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has disappointed since his return from injury in Week 14. He has just five catches for 52 yards over the past two weeks combined. The team lost Calvin Ridley (abdominal) for the season prior to last week's game and that makes Hooper more of a focal point going forward. […]

Russell Gage Has Decent PPR Value In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has caught five or more passes in three of his past four games. With Calvin Ridley (abdominal) out for the season, Gage is now the team's de facto No. 2 receiver, even though he plays more of a slot receiver-like role. This week, the Falcons face the Jaguars in […]

Julio Jones Should Stay Hot Versus Jaguars

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones saw a season-high 20 targets in Week 15 against the 49ers. He delivered his biggest fantasy game of the year with 13 catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns. It was the team's first game with Calvin Ridley (abdominal), who is out for the season. Quarterback Matt Ryan was […]

Qadree Ollison Not A Starting Option in Week 16

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison has three touchdowns over just 17 carries so far this year. That's as many rushing touchdowns as the team's top two running backs Devonta Freeman and Brian Hill combined and that duo has over 200 combined rushing opportunities on the year. Still, Ollison is nothing but a touchdown-or-bust running […]

Steer Clear Of Brian Hill In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill earned just one touch in Week 15 against the 49ers. It was a surprising development after he'd compiled 16 touches the previous two games as the team's No. 2 back behind Devonta Freeman. It was Freeman's show alone in Week 15 as he had 12 of the 14 running […]

Devonta Freeman Is An RB2 Option In Week 16

It hasn't been pretty for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman this year, but he's still managed to deliver decent value through his workload alone. Freeman is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry this year and is yet to top 90 rushing yards in a game. However, he's a lock for double-digit carries on a […]

Matt Ryan Should Be Serviceable In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan should be able to put together a solid line in Week 16 against the Jaguars. The Falcons have struggled to develop a run game all year, so Ryan will likely be relied upon to throw the ball around 40 times in the game. Star wide receiver Julio Jones is coming […]

Bills Defense Should Deliver In Week 16

The Bills Defense has been one of the top fantasy defenses all year and they'll look to keep rolling in Week 16 as they face the Patriots in New England. After a booming start to the year, the Patriots offense has really come down to earth. They rank amongst the middle-of-the-pack in most categories. This […]

Dawson Knox Can't Be Trusted In Week 16

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was third on the team in receiving in Week 15. Unfortunately, that didn't mean much in a game where quarterback Josh Allen threw for only 139 yards. Knox had one catch on one target for 11 yards in the game. Knox has had a very uninspiring run the past […]

Cole Beasley Is A Worthy WR3/Flex Play In PPR For Week 16

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley had an awful game in Week 15 against the Steelers, catching just one of his six targets for six yards. This week, Beasley and the Bills face a very tough Patriots pass defense. Last time these two teams met, Beasley actually had one of his better all-around games of […]

John Brown Is A High-End WR3 In Week 16

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown managed to break free from recent struggles with a 99-yard game in Week 15 against the Steelers. Brown had failed to top 40 receiving yards in his previous three games before Week 15. This week, Brown faces one of the league's toughest pass defenses, the Patriots. Quarterback Josh Allen […]

Alexander Mattison Has A "Good Chance" To Play In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) missed his first game of the year in Week 15 and is currently questionable for Week 16 against the Packers. Mattison is yet to practice this week but appears to be nearing a return to practice in a limited capacity. Head coach Mike Zimmer told reporters that he […]

Dalvin Cook Unlikely To Play In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) appears unlikely to play in Week 16, according to recent reports. Cook has played in all 14 games so far this year but suffered his shoulder injury in Week 15 and couldn't finish the game. He has 1,135 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns this year. Cook's backup, Alexander […]

T.J. Yeldon Likely To Be Inactive In Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for eight straight games, and that streak is likely to continue in Week 16 as the team's top two rushers -- Devin Singletary and Frank Gore -- are both healthy. Yeldon saw a little playing time earlier this year when Singletary was out, but the team has gone […]
