Should I Start Desmond Ridder in Week 15? Fantasy Football Outlook

The Atlanta Falcons have officially named rookie Desmond Ridder as their starting quarterback. Ridder will make his first NFL start on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Coming into this game, Ridder has not attempted a pass in the NFL? Should you add Ridder to your fantasy roster? And is he worth starting this week […]

Should I Pickup Mitch Trubisky For Fantasy Football Week 15? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

With Kenny Pickett sidelined this week, it'll be Mitch Trubisky under center for the Pittsburgh Steelers once again. What should we expect from the former No. 2 overall pick? Trubisky last started in Week 4, but was replaced by rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, who starred at nearby Pitt in college. Pickett kept the starting gig […]

Travis Kelce Is Still The Top Tight End In Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce remains the No. 1 overall fantasy tight end heading into Sunday's matchup with the Houston Texans. The Texans have allowed a league-low 11 passing touchdowns this season, but five of those have gone to tight ends. Kelce has been held to just four catches in each of the […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A WR2 Play In Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had his second double-digit target game of the season last week against the Broncos, seemingly re-asserting himself as the team's No. 1 wide receiver. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes likes to spread the ball around, so you can't necessarily count on Smith-Schuster to 100% deliver, but his upside in this […]

Jerick McKinnon An Intriguing Play In Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon will likely continue to take a backseat to Isiah Pacheco when it comes to rushing attempts, but this week's matchup against the Houston Texans is too appealing to ignore. Houston allows the most rushing yards per game in the NFL, so even with limited carries, McKinnon could wind […]

Isiah Pacheco Has Strong Upside Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has had double-digit carries in five consecutive games, and on Sunday he gets to face a Houston Texans defense that's allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL. While Pacheco's lack of pass-catching upside impacts his fantasy ceiling, he should still be considered a solid RB2 play because […]

Patrick Mahomes Remains Top Fantasy Play In Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes might have a tougher matchup than expected on paper this week against a Houston Texans team that's allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in the NFL, but there's no reason for fantasy managers to consider benching him in Week 15. Mahomes has been the NFL's best quarterback this season, leading […]

Texans Defense Has Little Appeal In Week 15

The Houston Texans defense has had some good moments this season. The team's allowed an NFL-best 11 touchdown passes this season, for instance. But while the Texans secondary gives their defense fantasy appeal in the right matchup, Sunday's contest with the Kansas City Chiefs is unlikely to be that matchup. The Chiefs rank second in […]

Rex Burkhead Has Deep-League Appeal For Week 15

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead should see a boost in snaps on Sunday with starting running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) not playing against the Kansas City Chiefs. Burkhead has taken a backseat to Pierce this season, but the one time he played over 50% of the team's snaps, he ended up with 14 carries […]

3 NFL Prospects To Watch In The Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl (Washington State vs. Fresno State): Cameron Ward, Jake Haener, Robert Ferrel

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15: Top Free Agent Adds Include Donovan Peoples-Jones, D.J. Chark, Chris Moore, Richie James

I've been re-watching The League for the first time in at least five years. It's a fun show, even if a lot of the things about how they play fantasy football are a little outdated. I'm not sure why I decided to start with that anecdote—it sounded more personal than just saying "the fantasy playoffs have arrived," which […]

Travis Kelce Catches Four Passes Against Denver

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught four passes for 71 yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. He was targeted nine times. This is now three weeks in a row where Kelce has caught exactly four passes. Defenses are making a concerted effort to not let Kelce beat them and it's somewhat […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Finds End Zone Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught nine passes for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. He was targeted a team-high 11 times. Smith-Schuster hadn't topped 38 yards since Week 9 and hadn't found the end zone since Week 7, so don't assume that this performance is necessarily […]

Jerick McKinnon Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon led the team in receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, catching seven passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 22 rushing yards on six carries. McKinnon shouldn't be counted on to produce on the ground, but his current role in the pass […]

Isiah Pacheco Has Solid Showing Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco carried the ball 13 times for 70 yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. He also caught three passes for 23 yards. While his backfield mate Jerick McKinnon will get the headlines for his two touchdowns, both of those were on pass plays, and Pacheco out-carried him […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Three Touchdowns Against Denver

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes wasn't as sharp as usual in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, but he did toss three touchdowns in the game. Mahomes finished 28-for-42 for 352 yards, but he threw an uncharacteristic three interceptions. It was his most picks in a game all season and his first three pick […]

Amari Rodgers Catches Touchdown Against Dallas

Houston Texans wide receiver Amari Rodgers caught four passes for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. His five targets were second on the team behind Chris Moore. Rodgers had played just 17 offensive snaps his joining the Texans coming into this one, but the team was down two key […]

Chris Moore Has Huge Game

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore caught 10 of his 11 targets for 124 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. With Houston's top two wide receivers out with injury, Moore led the way. He was targeted on 40.7% of the team's pass attempts. We don't really know what to expect next week when […]

Dameon Pierce Injured Late In Week 14

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce left Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury, which kept him from returning to the contest. Pierce finished with 78 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. Pierce has clear control of this backfield if healthy and is a weekly RB2 play, […]

Davis Mills, Jeff Driskel Split Snaps Against Cowboys

Houston Texans quarterbacks Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel both saw significant action in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, with the team swapping between the two at various points. Mills was 16-for-21 with 175 yards and a pick, while Driskel was 4-for-6 for 38 yards and a touchdown. On the ground, Driskel added 36 yards on […]

Chiefs Defense Has Upside In Week 14

The Kansas City Chiefs defense disappointed last week against the Bengals, but they should be back in play for fantasy managers this week against the Denver Broncos. Denver has the NFL's worst scoring offense this season, averaging just 13.8 points per game. The team's actually done a solid job avoiding turnovers though, with the league's […]
