Saquon Barkley Dynasty Price Check for Fantasy Football

As the offseason continues its nonstop push toward the NFL draft and the 2022 football season, it is an excellent time to take a step back and assess the football landscape for dynasty football managers.

The playoffs are down to the final eight teams with two games each on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

The final game of the NFL’s Wild Card weekend is a divisional matchup between the Cardinals and Rams.

The Rams and […]

However, the work […]

Now that Week 14 is over, we can forget about bye weeks and start focusing on the fantasy football playoffs.

Only six teams were able to score more than 30 points on offense in Week 14. Additionally, just five games surpassed 50 total points this week. Quarterbacks have struggled to put […]

Monday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Cardinals vs Rams

Week 13’s AFC East matchup between the Patriots and Bills was derailed by bad weather and extremely windy conditions.

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 14: Taylor Heinicke, Taysom Hill, Justin Fields

Offenses have seemingly come back to life as the 2021 season rolls on. 10 teams scored at least four touchdowns in Week 13. While scoring is still down from last season, teams are starting to figure out how to move the ball against more prepared defenses. We are also starting to see more competitive offensive […]


Monday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Bills vs Patriots

Week 12 was another week featuring mostly a disappointing Monday Night Football matchup from a fantasy perspective. Antonio Gibson was stellar (29 carries for 111 yards and seven receptions for 35 yards) and J.D. McKissic found the end zone twice before getting knocked out with an injury. Outside that (and a decent fantasy performance from […]

Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 12

Week 11 wasn’t fantastic on offense for numerous teams. A lot of those issues stemmed from subpar offensive line play. 10 of 30 teams finished last week with an overall blocking average under 60 according to PFF. By comparison, only five teams finished with an overall blocking average above 70. Throughout the season, defenses have […]


Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 12: Cam Newton, Jimmy Garoppolo, Taylor Heinicke, Tyrod Taylor

Week 11 wasn’t an offensive explosion by any stretch of the imagination, but it was one of the better fantasy weeks we have gotten recently.
