Avoid Cowboys D/ST In Week 18

The Dallas Cowboys defense is coming off of a brutal Week 17 outing in which they surrendered 41 points to the Philadelphia Eagles without quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) under center. Week 18 will not be any easier, as the Washington Commanders plan to play all of their starters to shoot for the six-seed rather […]

Brandon Aubrey Can Be Started In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is coming off of a rough outing in which he made his lone extra point attempt but missed his lone field goal attempt in a blowout loss to Philadelphia. The 29-year-old kicker will look to bounce back in the season's finale against the Washington Commanders, although the Dallas offense looks […]

Jake Ferguson Is High-End TE2 Entering Week 18

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has had a disappointing season thus far, as he has failed to record a single touchdown. The 25-year-old has caught 57 passes for 482 yards and despite CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) missing last week's game, he was not the top option in the passing game. Given the lack of weapons […]

KaVontae Turpin Warrants Deep-League Consideration In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin should again be involved on offense in Week 18's matchup against the Washington Commanders. Turpin saw four targets and two carries in last week's blowout loss and without CeeDee Lamb (shoulder), the team lacks playmakers. Mike McCarthy will be looking for ways to get the ball into the […]

Jalen Tolbert A Dart-Throw Flex In Season's Finale

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) fully practiced all week, avoiding an injury designation prior to Week 18's matchup with the Washington Commanders. Tolbert slots in alongside Brandin Cooks to form the starting receiver group in the season's finale after scoring the team's lone touchdown a week ago. The third-year receiver has now caught […]

Brandin Cooks A Flex Option For Week 18

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a flex option as Dallas' projected top receiver in Week 18. Cooks led the Cowboys in all receiving benchmarks in Week 17, the first game without CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) in the fold. Washington's defense ranks 12th against opposing receivers, and there is uncertainty at the quarterback position, with […]

Rico Dowdle A Low-End RB1 For Week 18

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle will look to top off his surprising breakout season in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders with a splash. The 26-year-old has rushed for over 100 yards in four of his last five games and now faces a solid matchup against Washington's 20th-ranked run defense. He will look to […]

Cooper Rush Expected To Start In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is expected to start, but backup quarterback Trey Lance is expected to see "significant snaps" in the Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders. With the likely split at the quarterback position, neither player is worth starting in any format for fantasy purposes in the season's finale. Rush is an […]

Bold Predictions for Week 14 - 2024 College Football

We may be back. Last week’s bold predictions column went 2-of-3, as Ohio State and Arizona State both delivered. Colorado -- not so much.  This week is the most anticipated in any college football regular season: Rivalry week. This season’s highlight game is a rivalry renewed, as Texas travels to Kyle Field to play Texas […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 13 - 2024 College Football

With now just rivalry week left in the books for college football’s regular season, the playoff picture continued to shape up and was further refined in a wild Week 13.  The craziness started in the noon slate, as Ohio State proved that they are among the nation’s top teams as they rolled over Indiana. Ole […]

Bold Predictions for Week 13 - 2024 College Football

Last week’s segment was another swing and a miss. Pitt nearly took down Clemson, but quarterback Cade Klubnik diced up the defense with a clutch game-winning touchdown run with slightly over a minute remaining. Nebraska had USC on the ropes but ultimately fell short. Tennessee didn’t even start its backup quarterback with Nico Iamaleava healthy […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 12 - 2024 College Football

The college football season has almost gone as quickly as it came, as we have just two weeks remaining in the regular season. Week 12’s results shook up the playoff race once again, and it’s inevitable that we will see more shakeup over the next two weeks as the regular season closes down. The noon […]

Bold Predictions for Week 12 - 2024 College Football

Based on the way this column has gone over the past few weeks, it would be wise to take every prediction that I have laid out here and create a parlay that is betting the exact opposite of all three outcomes. These bold predictions have not been shaking out cleanly, but I have a good […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 11 - 2024 College Football

Week 11 was one of the wildest weeks yet as the season’s final month of play kicked off. The noon slate started with a wild Georgia Tech upset over Miami paired with dominant performances from two of the nation’s best in Ohio State and Texas. Indiana toppled Michigan in the midday slate while Georgia sputtered, […]

Bold Predictions for Week 11 - 2024 College Football

Another week, another missed opportunity to take a victory lap. My Week 10 bold predictions were all duds. Jeremiah Smith only had 55 yards in the nail-biting Ohio State win, Arkansas got throttled 63-31, and Tennessee only scored 28 points in a game that was too close for comfort. That’s why we call them bold […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 10 - 2024 College Football

Week 10 was yet again another thrilling slate of college football. Headlined by Ohio State’s big road win at Penn State, contenders rose to the occasion in some spots and fell short in others. Along with Penn State losing, Iowa State suffered its first loss at the hands of Texas Tech. Clemson also suffered its […]

Bold Predictions for Week 10 College Football - Freshman Phenom Goes Off, SEC Upset Eliminates Playoff Contender, and more

Week 9’s bold predictions were, let’s face it, a little too bold. Syracuse most definitely did not hand Pitt its first loss, Michigan State was close but did not upset Michigan, and UCF was nowhere near toppling the still-perfect BYU Cougars.  Week 10’s slate has upset week written all over it. There are a plethora […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 9 - 2024 College Football

Week 9 of college football has come to a close, and most teams have just four regular-season games remaining before we hit conference championship week. Favorites rolled this week and while many top-level teams were tested, there were no surprising losses across the board. In the noon slate, Ohio State narrowly dodged Nebraska, Notre Dame […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 8 - 2024 College Football

Week 8 didn’t have quite the degree of thrilling last-minute victories that Week 7 had, but it was a slate full of surprises and fun nonetheless. The suspense started on Friday night, as BYU stayed undefeated with a go-ahead 35-yard touchdown with just ten seconds on the clock to topple Oklahoma State. Saturday’s early slate […]

Bold Predictions for Week 9 - 2024 College Football

After a two-week dry spell, my Week 8 bold predictions finally started to hit again. I was way off on Nebraska over Indiana, but Tennessee over Alabama and Illinois over Michigan both held true. Week 9’s slate again has the potential for some wild results. After hours of mulling through the slate, I have crafted […]

Bold Predictions for Week 8 - 2024 College Football

The Week 7 college football slate was complete chaos and amidst the chaos, last week’s bold predictions were missed again. Ohio State fell at Oregon, BYU steamrolled Arizona, and USC sputtered late to lose to Penn State in overtime. Another 0-3 record on bold predictions marks back-to-back down weeks. Meaning we’ve got to be due […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 7 - 2024 College Football

Week 7 of the college football season did not disappoint and honestly from this point on, every weekend ahead of us gets more and more exciting. More games have championship implications with the 12-team playoff on the horizon, and a few teams’ playoff hopes are on life support following some shocking Week 7 losses. Although […]

Bold Predictions for Week 7 - 2024 College Football

Despite the chaos of Week 6, last week’s bold predictions just were not bold enough. Missouri was blown out rather than securing a road win as predicted. Miami surely did not blow California out as it needed a final-minute touchdown to win by one point. Will Rogers did turn the ball over for the first […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 6 - 2024 College Football

Week 6 was one of the most insane weekends of college football in recent memory. From a bird’s eye view, the slate looked boring. Only one ranked matchup, College Gameday in California for an after-dark kickoff, and top teams playing what appeared to be cupcakes. That could not be more wrong. Expect the unexpected in […]

Bold Predictions for Week 6 - 2024 College Football

Week 5’s bold predictions were all close but no cigar. Last week, I had Notre Dame over Louisville by double digits. The Irish led all game but ended up winning by seven. I also predicted that Michael Hawkins Jr. would ignite the Oklahoma Sooners and get them rolling.  Hawkins had an impressive 48-yard touchdown run, […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 5 - 2024 College Football

Week 5 brought us what will go down as one of the most memorable college football games of all time between second-ranked Georgia and fourth-ranked Alabama. The Crimson Tide led 30-7 going into halftime, and 33-15 heading into the fourth quarter. This game was over until it wasn’t, as the rest is now fresh history. […]
