Matthew Stafford - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Top Week 15 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Matthew Stafford, Jake Browning, Joe Flacco, more

There were some solid quarterback performances in Week 14. In the most unlikely of events, we got Desmond Ridder, Joe Flacco, and Zach Wilson as three of four 300-yard passers. Additionally, five quarterbacks had three passing touchdowns, which helped sustain the quarterback position in fantasy scoring. The fantasy playoffs are finally upon us, which means […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 14) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

For most leagues, Week 14 is the final week before the fantasy playoffs. Fantasy managers are working to secure a first-round bye, a playoff spot, or trying to finish the season strong. Unfortunately, there will be two teams on bye this week as well. The injuries didn’t stop hitting in Week 13 despite fewer teams […]


Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 14 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Baker Mayfield, Gardner Minshew, and Aidan O'Connell

Week 13 was another average week for quarterback production thanks to several big names being on bye week. We got excellent fantasy performances from Brock Purdy (314 yards and four touchdowns), Geno Smith (334 yards and three touchdowns), and Dak Prescott (299 yards and three touchdowns) with little else. For many, Week 14 represents the […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 13) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

The fantasy playoffs are just around the corner and every week matters. Teams who have already locked up a playoff spot need to keep optimizing their roster to push for a championship. Teams on the cusp of earning a playoff bid need to secure crucial wins to stay alive. Finding an edge in matchups can […]


Free Agency Check - Quarterback ADP Risers and Fallers

Top Week 13 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Russell Wilson, Jordan Love, and Baker Mayfield

There weren’t many great games during Week 12, but we still got to see some excellent quarterback performances. Seven different quarterbacks threw for over 300 yards in Week 12, including an awesome shootout between Trevor Lawrence (364 yards and a touchdown) and C.J. Stroud (304 yards and two touchdowns). Unfortunately, Week 13 means bye weeks […]


Gus Edwards - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 12) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 11 has come and gone and the divide is starting to grow between the best and worst offensive lines in the NFL. Week 12 will be another week where we have a full slate of games, so expect that divide to expand even further. Last week was a relatively quiet week on the injury […]


Top Week 12 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Derek Carr, Gardner Minshew and Jake Browning

Week 11 served as a bounceback for the quarterback position in fantasy. Four quarterbacks threw for over 300 passing yards and 12 different quarterbacks had multiple touchdown passes. We also saw the return of Justin Fields (169 passing yards, a passing touchdown and 104 rushing yards). However, for as good as the week was for […]


Joshua Dobbs - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 11 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Joshua Dobbs, Russell Wilson, and Jordan Love

Week 10 signaled a shift back to underwhelming production from quarterbacks across the NFL. Only two players (C.J. Stroud and Joe Burrow) threw for over 300 passing yards in a game where they played against each other. Additionally, we had just seven quarterbacks throw for multiple touchdown passes, headlined by a three-touchdown performance from Brock […]


Jahmyr Gibbs - fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 11) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Bye weeks robbed us of some of the best fantasy players in Week 10. Thankfully, there were still plenty of fireworks, especially with a high-scoring matchup between the Chargers and Lions. Of the teams who were playing, we got a pretty clean week from injuries among offensive line units. The most significant injury is potentially […]


James Cook - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 10) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 9 was a rough one for offensive lines across the NFL. 14 teams had average PFF grades below 60.0 in their matchups. Additionally, we saw more potentially significant injuries for teams across the league. The Titans lost starting tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere for the season with a shoulder injury while the Browns may be working […]


Sam Howell - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

Top Week 10 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Sam Howell, Joshua Dobbs, Baker Mayfield

Week 9 provided a historic performance from Houston Texans rookie C.J. Stroud. Stroud threw for 470 yards and five touchdowns. Outside of him and Dak Prescott (374 yards and three touchdowns), there wasn’t much production from the quarterback position. We also may have lost another starting quarterback (Daniel Jones) to a season-ending injury. In this […]


Amari Cooper - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 9) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 8 was a welcomed break from the bye weeks, but it was short-lived with four teams on bye in Week 9. Fantasy managers who have been relying on teams like Denver, Detroit, San Francisco and Jacksonville will certainly be working to fill some gaps in their lineups in Week 9. Understanding which teams will […]


Will Levis - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 9 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Will Levis, Baker Mayfield, Sam Howell, Derek Carr, more

Week 8 was a welcomed reprieve from bye weeks with every NFL team in action. There were also some notable performances from Sam Howell (397 yards and four touchdowns), Jalen Hurts (319 yards and four touchdowns), and rookie Will Levis. Fantasy managers were also met with an unfortunate injury after Vikings’ quarterback Kirk Cousins suffered […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 8) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 7 was loaded with bye weeks and injuries across the NFL. Fantasy teams were forced to comb through the waiver wire to find solutions to try and keep fantasy championship dreams alive. Thankfully, we didn’t have to take notice of many bad injuries in the trenches in Week 7. The most significant offensive line […]

Josh Jacobs - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 7) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 6 will go down as a fantasy bloodbath. The teams weren’t scoring. Players were getting hurt left and right. The struggles of NFL offenses in Week 6 had a massive impact that probably affected nearly every fantasy manager in one way or another. There were also offensive line implications to this week as well […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups to Target (Week 6)

Week 5 was a bloodbath for offensive lines across the league. Seven different teams had a starting offensive lineman miss a majority of the game, highlighted by Alijah Vera-Tucker on the Jets (knee) and Kaleb McGary on the Falcons (knee). 18 different offensive linemen missed some part of a game this week (although some of […]


Bijan Robinson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups to Target (Week 5)

The NFL season is flying by and we have officially hit the point where bye weeks are impacting fantasy lineups. Four teams (Cleveland, Seattle, Tampa Bay, and the LA Chargers) will have the week off in Week 5, leaving fantasy managers scrambling to identify players to help their team. Finding edges in unconventional places is […]


Top Quarterback Waiver Wire and Streaming Options for Week 5: C.J. Stroud, Matthew Stafford, Mitch Trubisky

After two weeks of strong offensive performances, teams took a step back in Week 4. Only five quarterbacks threw for over 300 passing yards. Just four quarterbacks had more than two passing touchdowns. 11 teams scored at least 28 points but most of that production did not come from the quarterback position. Now that four […]


Tua Tagovailoa - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps- Fantasy Football Matchups to Target (Week 4)

We saw a historic offensive performance in Week 3 thanks to the Miami Dolphins, who put up an absurd 70 points against the Denver Broncos. Outside of Miami (which has received most of the well-deserved press), there were plenty of other good offensive games as well. Eight different teams scored at least 28 points as […]


Jameis Winston

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire and Streaming Options for Week 4: Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton

It isn’t every day you see a team hang 70 points in the NFL. However, if there is a team in the NFL that is built to do it, it is the Miami Dolphins featuring a cache of explosive playmakers. The Dolphins were without Jaylen Waddle but were able to ride Tyreek Hill, Raheem Mostert, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Derek Carr (shoulder) had been playing solid football for the New Orleans Saints heading into Week 3. Unfortunately, the veteran quarterback suffered a shoulder injury that sent him to the hospital for additional testing after getting an X-ray in the stadium. Carr is […]


Fantasy Football Matchups to Target for Week 3 - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Thankfully for fantasy managers, offenses bounced back in Week 2 and gave us some high-scoring games. There is still plenty of room for growth for many teams in the NFL, but at least we saw something more after a very underwhelming Week 1. We also saw some very good and very bad offensive line performances […]


Matthew Stafford - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire and Streaming Options for Week 3: Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford, Desmond Ridder

Thankfully for fantasy football managers, offensive football made a major bounce back in Week 2. 15 different teams scored at least 27 points in Week 2, and two different matchups featured teams that scored at least 28 points each. Higher scoring also means better quarterback play. 10 different quarterbacks threw for at least 300 yards, […]

Matthew Stafford (QB, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues, 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Rams offense was expected to take a major step back this season, especially once Cooper Kupp started the season on the short-term injured reserve. However, through two weeks, Matthew Stafford has looked solid in a high-volume passing offense. Stafford has continued to […]
