Harrison Butker Is A Top Kicker Option In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has the lowest field goal percentage of his career this season, connecting on just 73.9% of his attempts, and he's missed field goal attempts in two of the last three games. Despite that, he's always near the top of the fantasy rankings, because KC's high-powered offense puts Butker in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Enters Week 18 On Downward Slope

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has struggled over the past two games, catching just five total passes over that span. After Smith-Schuster was targeted 21 times in Week 14 and 15, he has just seven targets over the past two games as quarterback Patrick Mahomes has spread the ball around. Smith-Schuster had just […]

Travis Kelce Remains Top Fantasy Tight End Play In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been the best player at his position in fantasy football this season. If you're still playing season-long fantasy in Week 18, Kelce should be where he's always been: locked into your lineup. The veteran tight end has already caught a career-high 12 touchdowns this season, with four […]

Jerick McKinnon Looks To Continue Touchdown Streak

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon has emerged as one of the league's best receiving backs over the last month or so, catching touchdown passes in five consecutive games. Over that span, McKinnon has been targeted 28 times, catching 25 of those for 274 yards and seven touchdowns. He's also added one score on […]

Isiah Pacheco Is Touchdown-Dependent In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has had a solid rookie season, but his lack of upside in the passing game has rendered him a touchdown-dependent RB3 option when it comes to fantasy. Last week, Pacheco managed to find the end zone, but he also saw his fewest carries since Week 9, as he […]

Patrick Mahomes Looks To End Season Strong

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take the field in Las Vegas on Saturday with a chance to lock up the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, taking on a Raiders team that he threw four touchdowns against earlier this season. In nine career games against the Raiders, Mahomes is averaging 315 passing […]

Parris Campbell (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Parris Campbell's 52 yards were his most since Week 11. I don't think he's really a great play, but he probably has some guaranteed volume, which is rare for players who are still on the waiver wire at this point. If I'm […]

Marvin Jones Jr. (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jags are in a must-win situation in Week 18: beat the Titans, and Trevor Lawrence and company are heading to the postseason. Marvin Jones Jr. was targeted seven times in Sunday's win over Houston, catching six of those for 61 yards. […]

Greg Dortch (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cardinals—who have reached the "starting David Blough" part of this lost season—have crashed. But Greg Dortch, a waiver-wire hero over the first three weeks of this season who then subsequently saw his role basically vanish, has done some interesting things late […]

Kadarius Toney (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kadarius Toney led the Chiefs in receiving yards on Sunday, catching four passes for 71 yards. Kansas City will be playing for the No. 1 seed in the AFC next week, and while Toney's risky based on his numbers so far this […]

Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jahan Dotson was a popular waiver add this week, and then he posted a disappointing three catches for 37 yards. But here's the thing: that's Carson Wentz's fault. And after how bad Wentz was this week, I can't imagine he starts in […]

Treylon Burks (WR, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Titans started Joshua Dobbs instead of Malik Willis at quarterback this week, and it resulted in the passing attack actually doing some things. Burks benefitted from that, as he was targeted eight times, hauling in four of those for 66 yards. […]

Brandin Cooks Disappoints In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks was targeted a team-high seven times in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, but the veteran wideout only finished with four catches for 39 yards. Both numbers also led the team in what was a strange game for the Texans, as quarterbacks Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel spread the ball […]

Davis Mills Fails To Find End Zone In Week 17

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 22-for-40 for 202 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also added four carries for a team-high 33 yards. The Texans continued to sprinkle in Jeff Driskel, who threw four passes and had two carries. Mills will have one more chance to show he can be […]

Kadarius Toney Leads Chiefs In Receiving Yards

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney caught all four of his targets for 71 yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. That includes a 38-yard reception, the longest catch for any Chiefs player on Sunday. He had as many receptions as Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster combined. Toney's numbers since joining KC have […]

Travis Kelce Doesn't Post Big Numbers In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce likely carried a lot of teams to the fantasy championship this week, but his Week 17 performance wasn't quite what he usually does. Kelce was targeted 10 times, catching seven of the passes, but he finished with just 43 yards and no touchdowns. This is only the second […]

Jerick McKinnon Catches Two Touchdowns Against Denver

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon caught a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, extending his scoring streak to five consecutive games. Overall, McKinnon caught five passes for 52 yards while also adding four rushing yards. McKinnon has become one of Patrick Mahomes' top weapons in the pass game, and […]

Isiah Pacheco Finds End Zone In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco saw his fewest rushing attempts since Week 9 in Sunday's win over the Broncos, but the rookie managed to finish with solid numbers for fantasy because of a rushing touchdown. Pacheco finished the game with nine carries for 31 yards, plus two catches for 18 yards. Heading into […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued his MVP-level play in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, throwing for 328 yards and three touchdowns. He was 29-for-42 and was picked off once. Mahomes also added eight rushing yards. With the Chiefs still alive in the hunt for the AFC's No. 1 overall seed, Mahomes will […]

Travis Kelce Remains Top Fantasy Tight End Play In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has essentially been a positional cheat code this season, catching 97 passes for 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns, which has already set a new career-high for one of the best tight ends in NFL history. On Sunday, he faces the Broncos. In the last meeting of these teams, […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Boom/Bust Play In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is a risky fantasy option on Sunday against the Broncos, largely because of the huge variability in his outcomes. He caught just three passes for 27 yards last week against the Seahawks, but the week before had 10 receptions against the Texans. In the first meeting with the […]

Jerick McKinnon Looks To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon has caught a touchdown in four consecutive games, with the veteran back becoming a go-to option in the passing game for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He'll look to make it five in a row on Sunday against a Broncos team that he caught a pair of scores against just […]

Isiah Pacheco Is Touchdown-Dependent In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco has seen double-digit carries in seven consecutive games but has also failed to find the end zone in the past three, and with his lack of usage in the passing game, he looks like a player with a relatively solid fantasy floor that needs to find the […]

Patrick Mahomes A Top Fantasy Option In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be considered a high-end QB1 option on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. When these teams met earlier this month, Mahomes threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns, though he was also picked off three times. The Broncos have actually done a decent job on defense this year, allowing […]

Texans Defense Not On Fantasy Radar For Week 17

The Houston Texans defense should be mostly off of the fantasy radar heading into Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Houston had one of its best defensive efforts of the season in the first meeting of these teams, holding the Jags to just six points and picking off a pair of passes, […]

Royce Freeman A Risky Play In Week 17

Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman saw plenty of touches last week against the Titans, with 16 carries for the veteran back. But Freeman, who has taken over as the team's lead back over the past two games, only managed to produce 32 rushing yards on those attempts. There's not likely to be much running […]

Brandin Cooks Has Deep-League Appeal In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks hasn't had the kind of season that fantasy managers expected when they drafted him in the middle rounds this year, but the veteran wideout is back on the fantasy radar now. Last week, he caught his first touchdown since Week 4, and his nine targets were his most since […]

Davis Mills A Risky Play In Week 17

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is a risky fantasy play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. The second-year QB has failed to throw for 200 yards in four consecutive starts, and in two of those games, he didn't throw a touchdown either. He was held to 140 yards earlier this season in Houston's 13-6 […]
