Week 12 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

I hope you all enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday and were able to add some fantasy victories to your list of things to be thankful for. Ideally you were also able to avoid the most recent batch of injuries sprinkled across the NFL as some key names went down with notable ailments. The biggest name to […]

WRs Sending Out Warning Signals? Amari Cooper, Jeremy Maclin, Dez Bryant, & More

If you've already read this week's Warning Signals piece pertaining to running backs, you'd know that we're honing in on players who should be given legitimate consideration once the fantasy playoffs are upon us. That same theme is going to hold here for the wide receiver position. Luckily for us fantasy analysts, receivers have more […]

Running Backs Sending Out Warning Signals: Lamar Miller, DeMarco Murray, and Frank Gore

If you're still hanging around to read Warning Signals ahead of week 12 I have to assume that you're alive and well in the playoff hunt. With most fantasy leagues wrapping up their regular season in week 13, there isn't much time left to put together a late season charge. It's for that reason this week's […]

Week 11 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

After eleven weeks of NFL action we’re dangerously close to the fantasy playoffs. By now you’re likely either in it or mathematically eliminated so I would assume that you’re still fighting for a playoff spot if you’re reading this. You’re going to see some playoff analysis sprinkled into the game-by-game breakdowns alongside the usual injury […]

Running Backs Sending Out Warning Signals: Marshawn Lynch, James Starks & More

Do my eyes deceive me or did we finally make it through an entire week of football without a major injury to a running back? How about that, it looks like that checks out. It only took ten full weeks but we finally had ourselves a Sunday that didn't involve us clutching our chests hoping a […]

Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals: Willie Snead, John Brown, Stefon Diggs

After several weeks of discussing some low-end names at wide receiver, it's looking like it's time to revisit some more eyebrow-raising players at the position. There's one name in particular that's become a cause for concern given the team's injury history this season but the other two managed to play themselves up into fantasy relevance this […]

Week 10 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The most recent slate of NFL action had a bunch of bizarre developments across the board. In fact, I would go as far as to say that fantasy aside, week ten might have been the most telling week of the year thus far as it pertains to the real life outcomes of the season. That […]

Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals For Week 10

It took long enough but it looks like we're finally reaching some level of normalcy among the higher end fantasy wide receivers. Players usually end up being what they are for the year around Week 5 or so but in the case of receivers, it's been a rather wonky year. The consistency we've grown accustomed to took […]

Chris Ivory, Doug Martin, Mark Ingram: Running Backs Showing Warning Signals?

The 2015 fantasy season has essentially become a battle to see who the last team standing is. I mean that as close to literally as possible. There has been so many injuries and disappointing draft picks, especially at the running back position. A week after Le'Veon Bell was lost for the season, New England running back […]

Week 9 NFL Recap: Injuries & Game by Game Analysis

Now that we’ve gone beyond the halfway point of the NFL season, the 2015 fantasy playoffs are coming in hot. I would imagine that if you’re reading this week’s recap you’re likely still in the thick of playoff contention so congratulations are in order as well. Given the plethora of injuries this year on top […]

Demaryius Thomas, Mike Evans, T.Y. Hilton: Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?

After last week's rather odd selection of wide receivers, this week's list contains some more traditional names you're likely concerned about. Typically, wide receivers are a lot more consistent than their running back counterparts but considering how bizarre this fantasy season has been thus far, there's been some unexpected fluidity among the more reliable players. Now […]

Running Backs With Warning Signals For Week 9

This past week of NFL action featured a relentless onslaught of injuries including a host of crushing blows to star running backs. With Le'Veon Bell done for the year and Matt Forte out an undisclosed amount of time, the position as a whole continues to be an absolute mess. Hopefully you've been able to dodge […]

Week 8 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The amount of injuries during Week 8 was an absolute nightmare for fantasy owners. Obviously all kinds of injuries are terrible, but when you’re talking about a slew of fantasy superstars, the results are pretty devastating. Since there were so many players that went down, it’s best that we focus on the bigger and more immediate […]

Odell Beckham, Julian Edelman, Travis Benjamin: Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?

Similar to this week's running backs piece, it's also become increasingly difficult to identify star wide receivers who are struggling at this point in the season. That leaves us with some odd selections for our Warning Signals piece heading into Week 8. You're going to see two names that don't exactly scream panic and one […]

Chris Ivory, Andre Ellington, Justin Forsett: Running Backs With Warning Signals?

I should tell you right off the bat that it's gotten increasingly difficult to identify running backs that warrant discussing for this list. The truth is, finding players that are genuinely struggling as opposed to just flat out bad is like finding a needle in a haystack at this point. Even with that little disclaimer […]

Week 7 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The most common text I sent this Sunday was “this is by far the ugliest week of football of the year” and I don’t think that’s even up for debate right now. From top to bottom, from Thursday night to Sunday night, nearly every game had some serious flaws. In a weird sort of way, […]

Antonio Brown, A.J. Green, Randall Cobb: Receivers Showing Warning Signals?

Antonio Brown – WR, Pittsburg Steelers When I first mentioned Antonio Brown on this list last week, the premise was rather simple: hang in there while Michael Vick is under center, leave Brown in your lineup, and hope for the best. Obviously injuries are never something you hope for, but sometimes there's a silver lining to a team being forced […]

Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 7

Heading into Week 7, plenty of wide receivers have already solidified themselves as either stars or scrubs by now. Obviously the players who round out the opposing ends of that spectrum are the ones drawing the most attention, but I'd like to take a second to point something out real quick. As I said last […]

Running Backs Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 7

It's no secret that the running back position has been a roller coaster ride thus far. That shouldn't even come as a real surprise anymore as it seems like we go through this every year between highly valued backs falling off and fresh faces breaking out. Taking that idea one step further, it also feels […]

Week 6 NFL Recap: Injuries & Game by Game Analysis

We’re at the point of the fantasy season where players essentially are what they are. There have been some severely disappointing studs, unexpected breakouts, and players who have simply maintained their draft day value. Whichever category certain guys fall into, this week’s recap is going to take a slightly more long-term view as far as […]

Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

The Detroit Lions are a bad football team who are struggling in every facet of the game, yet I'm still hopeful that Megatron can turn it around somewhat. I still think you're stuck with owning him for the rest of the way barring an owner in your league who believes in his draft-day value. Having […]

Antonio Brown (WR, PIT) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

I can't believe I'm actually adding Antonio Brown to my list of players with warning signals, but given the amount of panic since Michael Vick came into the starting lineup I think there are plenty of owners out there who need some reassurance. With Vick under center, Brown has been a massive disappointment. Even with that in mind, […]

T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

Even with Andrew Luck missing another game last week, T.Y. Hilton managed to be productive to the tune of five receptions for 88 yards. With Luck tentatively expected to play this week in a Sunday night game against the Patriots, it's looking like the breakout is coming soon. I'm optimistic that this is the last time […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

The Buccaneers were so bad passing the ball last week that I'm actually just going pretend last week didn't even happen. Plus, when you have Doug Martin running all over the Jacksonville defense, why bother passing in the first place? The team is on bye this week so it'll be a while before we have […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

It would appear as if the Philadelphia Eagles are beginning to turn the corner on the offensive side of the ball with back-to-back weeks of solid production in both the passing game and ground attack. We're at the point with the Eagles where it's clear they are going to spread the ball around significantly, so much […]

Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 6

For the most part, wide receivers are typically more consistent than their running back counterparts. So far this year, that's mostly true as far as the middle-of-the-pack receivers are concerned, with some more notable names struggling as of late. This week's WR Warning Signals piece is going to be somewhat shorter than others given the […]

Carlos Hyde (RB, SF) - Running Backs With Warning Signals?

Carlos Hyde finally had a much needed bounce back game against the New York Giants, although it did take him a full four quarters to actually show us something. The skinny on Hyde is this: he's nowhere near the guy we saw in Week One against the Vikings, but he's also not going to be […]

DeMarco Murray (RB, PHI) - Running Backs With Warning Signals?

DeMarco Murray finally had a big day of 120 total yards against the Saints, showing that the Philadelphia offense can produce a fantasy relevant running back at any time. The only drawback of that is the harsh reality that the Eagles have spread around their fantasy production without any sort of rhyme or reason. There […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Running Backs With Warning Signals

Alright, it's time for me to just own up to this one and admit that I was dead wrong on Jeremy Hill this year. I had been talking Hill up as a lock to finish within the top-10 at running back and it's looking like the Cincinnati Bengals are in a genuine committee that will […]

C.J. Anderson, Ronnie Hillman - Running Backs With Warning Signals

After Ronnie Hillman's 72-yard touchdown run in week four, it looked as if Hillman had earned himself more touches with the upside of outproducing C.J. Anderson. Well not only did Anderson receive more carries than Hillman against the Raiders on Sunday, but both guys went right back to being completely ineffective. The two of them […]
