I am an Oregon State alum with a B.S. in Psychology. I am a 10-year fantasy sports veteran mainly focused on baseball and football. Best ball is my format of choice as my busy schedule makes it the best format for me. I also have experience as a baseball coach at the college level. Furthermore, I am a San Francisco Giants and Indianapolis Colts fan.

Pharaoh Brown Sees Five Targets In Week 13

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown saw five targets in Week 13 against the Colts. He managed to convert those five targets into four receptions for 23 yards. Brown remains a key cog of an inept Texans offense. The floor on Brown is rock-bottom, but any tight end seeing a solid workload should be monitored […]


Brandin Cooks Bottled Up In Week 13

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks was bottled up by the Colts in Week 13. Cooks had three receptions on six targets for 38 yards. The Texans were shut out by the Colts, and that should give you an idea of the talent on this offense. Cooks is a talented wide receiver who sees a […]


Rex Burkhead Leads Houston In RB Touches

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead paced all Texans running backs in touches this week. He managed eight carries for 30 yards and one reception on two targets for 15 yards. David Johnson (thigh, illness) missed this game, which opened the door for Burkhead. However, Burkhead was incapable of taking advantage of the solid workload […]


Tyrod Taylor Injured In Week 13

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor (wrist) suffered a hyperextended wrist in the Week 13 loss to the Colts and couldn't continue in the game. Taylor only managed five completions on 19 attempts for 45 yards and one interception before his injury. He also had three rushing attempts for 15 yards. The Colts were all over […]


Texans Defense Gets Throttled In Week 13

The Houston Texans defense wasn't a recommended play this week, and they proved everyone right. They gave up 143 rushing yards to Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and were no match for a Colts team that put up 31 points. Furthermore, the Texans managed only one forced fumble and one sack. They are unlikely […]


Texans Defense - Week 13 Fantasy Outlook

The Houston Texans defense had a solid two-week run, but their fantasy value has likely dissipated. This week they face an Indianapolis Colts offense that brings one of the best running backs in the sport in Jonathan Taylor, an offensive line that is dominant, and a quarterback who has been surprisingly stingy about turning the […]


Ka'imi Fairbairn - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been a solid producer this season. He sits at 9-for-12 on the year on field-goal attempts, and two of those misses have been from 50-plus yards away. However, the Texans represent one of the lowest totals on the slate and are currently 10-point underdogs to the Colts. As solid […]


Brevin Jordan - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans rookie tight end Brevin Jordan is slowly becoming a bigger part of the offense. After not seeing a single target through the first eight weeks, Jordan has seen at least two targets every week since. Furthermore, this is a perfect matchup, as the Indianapolis Colts defense loves to give up production to the […]


Tyrod Taylor - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been a viable streamer for the past few weeks in very solid matchups. Unfortunately for him, that ends this week. Taylor's value largely comes from his legs. The Colts run one of the most zone-heavy schemes in the NFL. That means all eyes are on the QB. The Colts […]


Nico Collins - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins could see a bump in usage if Brandin Cooks (illness) misses this week. Cooks has had back-to-back DNPs over the last two days. The matchup for Collins would be terrible. The Colts funnel passes to the middle of the field where the TEs and RBs typically run routes, but […]


Rex Burkhead - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead gets a tough matchup in Week 13. The Texans have an implied total of just 17.75 points and are 10-point underdogs facing the Indianapolis Colts. Furthermore, the Colts represent one of the top run defenses in the league. Burkhead's role has taken a step forward in recent weeks, but […]


Corey Kluber to the Rays - Fantasy Impact

The starting pitching market has been on fire early in the off-season. The veteran starting pitchers have been no exception. Former Cy Young winner Corey Kluber signed a one-year, eight million dollar contract on November 27th with the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran moves south but stays in the AL East after spending 2021 with […]


Max Scherzer to the Mets - Fantasy Impact

The hot stove is already sizzling but the heat was turned up higher with Max Scherzer signing with the Mets. Scherzer is heading to New York on a three-year, $130 million contract with an opt-out after the second season. The $43.3 million AAV for Scherzer shatters the previous record for the highest AAV set by […]


Texans Defense Solid In Week 12

The Houston Texans defense is not the reason they lost to the Jets in Week 12. They managed to sack rookie quarterback Zach Wilson four times, intercepting him once, and forced a fumble that was recovered by the Jets while allowing 21 points. The Texans defense continued their solid play, albeit in one of the […]


Ka'imi Fairbairn Misses Only Field-Goal Attempt In Week 12

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn missed his only field-goal attempt in a Week 12 loss to the Jets while he converted both extra points. The field-goal attempt was from 55 yards out and dropped Fairbairn to 9-for-12 on the season. Fairbairn has been very solid for the Texans this season and he is unlikely to […]


Brevin Jordan Scores Second Career Touchdown In Week 12

Houston Texans rookie tight end Brevin Jordan was a non-factor for the first seven weeks of the season as he failed to muster a single target. However, he has seen at least two targets and has scored twice in the four games since. On Sunday he saw three targets, which he converted into three catches […]


Nico Collins Sees Five Targets In Loss To Jets

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins shared the team lead with five targets in their Week 12 loss to the Jets. Collins only managed to convert two of those five targets for 28 yards and he failed to reach the end zone. The rookie is a player the Texans may look to get more […]


Brandin Cooks Finds The End Zone In Loss To Jets

Going into Week 12, Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks had one of the largest target shares in the NFL. Those days may be over. Cooks saw only five targets, which were tied for the most on the team with three other players. While Cooks did manage to score, he only had three catches for […]


Rex Burkhead Splits Workload In Week 12 Loss To Jets

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead was expected to see the majority of the rushing attempts while David Johnson was expected to fill the pass-game role. However, Burkhead saw only 12 of the 24 total rushing attempts for only 27 yards in the Week 12 loss to the New York Jets. He also saw three […]


David Johnson Splits The Workload In Loss

Heading into Week 12, Houston Texans running back David Johnson was expected to be the passing-down back while Rex Burkhead got the majority of the carries. It turns out we will see more of an even split between the two. Johnson saw 10 carries for 39 yards and three targets, which he converted into two […]


Tyrod Taylor Disappointing In Loss To Jets

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor was one of the best streamer candidates this week after taking over the goal-line rushing role for Houston in a great matchup versus the bottom-feeding Jets. Yet he only managed 158 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Furthermore, he only had two carries for 30 yards. This was the […]


ADP Showdown: Byron Buxton vs Adalberto Mondesi

One of the hardest things to do in fantasy baseball for players and contributors alike is to project playing time. Games played, plate appearances, and at-bats are the basis on which we project hits, home runs, walks, and all the various counting stats that make up various fantasy baseball formats. It is where rate stats […]


Brandin Cooks - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks comes into his Week 12 matchup versus the Jets with a 43.2% target share, which is near the top of the league. Yet he is only seeing 8.7 targets per game. Cooks has six games where he has seven or fewer targets and only two touchdowns. However, he also […]


Tyrod Taylor - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor showed what he was capable of last week and now he gets his softest matchup of the year in a Week 12 meeting against the New York Jets. Taylor has been limited to just three healthy games all season, where he produced pass attempts of 24, 33 and 43. However, […]


David Johnson - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Running back David Johnson is expected to be the passing-down back for the Houston Texans in their matchup versus the Jets in Week 12. Johnson is receiving a 16.9% target share but he has only averaged 4.6 rushing attempts per game. The Texans should keep this game close, and Rex Burkhead is expected to dominate […]


Texans Defense Is A Streamer Candidate In Week 12

The Houston Texans defense doesn't exactly inspire a ton of faith. They have allowed the fourth-most points in the NFL and are in the middle of the pack in sacks. However, they face Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson and an inept offense this week. Wilson has played in six games this season and has managed […]


Rex Burkhead - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Running back Rex Burkhead should remain the lead back on early downs this week for the Houston Texans against the Jets in Week 12. The departure of running back Phillip Lindsay further cemented Burkhead's role. While David Johnson should get the passing-down work, it will be Burkhead who should see the majority of the rushing […]
