Monday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Saints vs Dolphins

Football fans were treated to two terrible games on Monday last week. The first game between the Raiders and Browns was originally scheduled for Saturday but had to be moved due to COVID.

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 16: Carson Wentz, Jimmy Garoppolo, Justin Fields, Drew Lock

Week 15 will go down as a fantasy football bloodbath in the first week of the playoffs. Just two games finished with a game total above 60. Only five teams were able to surpass 30 points on offense. Worst of all, the offenses that got players to the fantasy playoffs (Arizona, Tampa Bay, Dallas, and […]

Monday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Bears vs Vikings

Week 14 Monday Night Football featured a great game between two teams not only competing for a divisional title, but also the top seed in the NFC.

Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 15

Now that Week 14 is over, we can forget about bye weeks and start focusing on the fantasy football playoffs. Unfortunately, a lot of NFL teams didn’t get the memo that fantasy players' playoff livelihoods were riding on their Week 14 performances. While there were some big point totals in Week 14 (six games over […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 15: Mac Jones, Jimmy Garoppolo, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Fields

Week 14 was the continuation of underwhelming production out of the quarterback position this season. As a result, scoring was down again this week. 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. If you’re a fan of run-heavy offenses and defensive showcases, then it was right up your alley. However, fans of points and fantasy scoring were likely disappointed. New England won the matchup 14-10 thanks to a […]


Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 14

Week 13 is officially in the books and the fantasy playoffs are on the horizon.

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 13

After several weeks of defenses dominating offenses in the NFL, Week 12 provided a bit of a course correction. Nine teams were able to score at least 30 points last week, leading to elevated fantasy points among those squads. While there were some blowout victories (Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Miami), several games produced a shootout environment […]

David Montgomery - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

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. Unfortunately, fantasy managers were once again let down by offenses that we rely on for explosive fantasy performances. Buffalo, Dallas, Kansas City, and Seattle all failed to surpass 20 points […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 11: Cam Newton, Mac Jones, Justin Fields, Tua Tagovailoa

For the second consecutive week, NFL teams struggled on offense leading to underwhelming fantasy scores.

Conversely, five teams failed to score more than 20 points on offense, including an explosive Seattle offense that […]

Monday Night Football Starts and Sits - 49ers vs Rams

Week 9 was disappointing in fantasy but delivered a few highly entertaining games. Monday’s game between Pittsburgh and Chicago looked rough on paper but turned into a highly entertaining game. The Steelers won on a late field goal, but Chicago finally got a stellar performance for Justin Fields. The rookie was able to generate several […]


Trevor Siemian (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Now that Trevor Siemian is the Saints’ starting quarterback, he should be rostered in 2QB leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: By all accounts, Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t ready to return from his hip injury, which means the Washington quarterback job still belongs to Taylor Heinicke.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Lawrence struggled against Buffalo on Sunday, completing just 15 of 26 passes for 118 yards.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a down week against the Panthers in Week 8 (146 passing yards with one touchdown and two interceptions), Matt Ryan got the passing attack back on track against the New Orleans Saints.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve highlighted Carson Wentz in this space numerous times this season, yet he remains on 40% of waiver wires in fantasy leagues.

Jonathan Taylor - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 10

Week 9 finished as one of the most frustrating fantasy football weeks in a long time thanks to a lack of scoring across the league. Offenses we have come to rely on (Buffalo, Kansas City, Dallas) failed to provide much fantasy value. Teams that we have avoided this year (New York Jets, New England Patriots, […]
