NFL Rookie Spotlight - Trevor Lawrence
Ever since he became the starting quarterback at Clemson four games into his true freshman season, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Trevor Lawrence would be the first overall pick in the NFL draft as soon as he was eligible. That assumption became a reality during the 2021 NFL draft, with Lawrence getting […]

Daniel Jones Set Up for Success - Will It Work?
Given his status as a surprising top-10 pick in the 2019 NFL draft and a relatively successful rookie season, the 2020 season was seen as a make-or-break year for Daniel Jones for many NFL fans. Unfortunately, Jones (and the Giant’s offense as a whole) struggled to take the next step around the second-year signal-caller. The […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 15
Despite Week 14 featuring a bunch of blowouts, quarterback production wasn’t anything special. Only three quarterbacks passed for over 300 yards passing.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 12
After a slow offensive Week 10, several quarterbacks were able to find success again heading into Week 11.

Five quarterbacks passed for […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Buccaneers vs Rams
After an explosive Thursday Night matchup, we get rewarded with a potential defensive slugfest on Monday Night Football. Both the Buccaneers and Rams recorded impressive Week 10 victories thanks to stifling defenses doing their jobs. In the case of the Rams, they were able to hold Russell Wilson to his worst performance of the season […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 11
Week 10 was a brutal affair for most fantasy squads, especially if you rely on production from the quarterback position. Only six quarterbacks surpassed 300 yards passing on the week, and of those only three had more than one passing touchdown. As a whole, only three quarterbacks were able to throw for at least three […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Vikings vs Bears
On the surface, we will be staring down at another potentially disappointing Monday Night contest between the inept offense of the Chicago Bears and the questionable defense of the Minnesota Vikings.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 10
Week 9 has come and gone (minus Monday night's impending dumpster fire between the Patriots and Jets) and teams just keep hitting their offensive stride. After a slow Week 8, NFL offenses erupted once again with one 400-yard passer (Josh Allen) and 10 different 300-yard passing efforts. Additionally, two quarterbacks had four passing touchdowns with […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Jets vs Patriots
After several fun and exciting Monday night matchups, we have gotten into the unfortunate part of the season. The Tampa Bay and Giants matchup seemed rough… but then the Patriots and Jets game entered the picture and I feel like none of us will be the same. If you are starting more than one of […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 9
The story of Week 8 in the NFL will be the brutal weather situations that stifled many offenses across the league.

Only three quarterbacks threw for over 300 […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Giants vs Buccaneers

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 8
Explosive passing attacks continue to be the name of the game in 2020. In Week 7, eight quarterbacks attempted 40 or more passes. Eight teams surpassed 300 passing yards and 15 quarterbacks with multiple passing touchdowns. Five quarterbacks had three or more passing scores. Bye weeks continue to chug along and assuming there isn’t any […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Rams vs Bears
After salivating over the high scoring potential of fast-paced offenses last week, Week 7’s Monday night matchup feels downright underwhelming. The Bears (5-1) and Rams (4-2) both come in with winning records and early season playoff aspirations. Both teams feature stout defenses, so this game may be more of a slugfest than a shootout. However, […]
