Ka'imi Fairbairn's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has had a solid start to the season, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. Houston's troubles moving the football have provided Fairbairn with four attempts from between 40 and 45 yards so far. Still, he's a 84.4% career kicker on an offense that struggles to move […]

Rex Burkhead's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead looked like Houston's No. 1 back in Week 1 against the Colts, when he carried the ball 14 times. But last week, Burkhead had zero carries against the Broncos, though he did have a pair of receptions for nine yards. Burkhead was a popular waiver add after Week 1, […]

Nico Collins' Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is a risky fantasy option on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Collins saw a threefold increase in targets last week, going from three to nine, but he could only finish with four catches for 58 yards. The increased volume is encouraging, but it would be good to see that […]

Dameon Pierce's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce is an interesting RB3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 3 as the Texans take on the Chicago Bears. Chicago has allowed 189 rushing yards per game this season, the most in the league. Pierce looked like he was buried behind Rex Burkhead on the depth chart in Week […]

Brandin Cooks' Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a low-ceiling, high-floor play in fantasy football in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. Cooks has gotten a lot of opportunities this season, with 22 targets through the first two games, but issues with his quarterback's accuracy and this team's overall struggles mean that Cooks hasn't really performed […]

Davis Mills' Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is a risky fantasy play on Sunday against a Chicago Bears team that has allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards per game so far this season. While some of that can be attributed to poor weather conditions, this Bears defense still looks to be a little too good for fantasy managers […]

Chiefs Defense Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has immense upside in Week 3 against a Colts team that was shut out by the Jaguars last week. The Colts rank last in the NFL in points scored per game and have a minus-four takeaway differential through two games. The Chiefs defense hasn't been great this season, as the […]

Matt Ammendola's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Matt Ammendola will kick once again this week with Harrison Butker (ankle) sidelined. Last week in his Chiefs debut, Ammendola was 2-for-2 on field goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra points, though his longest field goal attempt was just 31 yards. Ammendola should have plenty of kicking chances because of this […]

Travis Kelce's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was relatively quiet last week, catching five passes for 51 yards against the Chargers. But the fact that that represents a "quiet" day for Kelce is proof of why he's the top tight end in fantasy football. Kelce serves as the No. 1 pass-catching weapon on this high-powered […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling hasn't done much in his time with KC so far. Last week, he was targeted seven times but managed to catch just two passes for 13 yards. Valdes-Scantling was expected to serve as the primary deep threat for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but that hasn't panned out so far. […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is a risky fantasy play heading into Week 3's contest against the Colts because of his struggles last week. Against the Chargers, Smith-Schuster finished with three catches for just 10 yards. He's still worthy of flex consideration after he was targeted eight times in the opener, but Smith-Schuster […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire's Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a solid fantasy RB2 play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Edwards-Helaire hasn't gotten a ton of rushing attempts this season, but he's made the most of the ones he's had, as he averaged 9.25 yards per carry last week against the Chargers. CEH also has two […]

Patrick Mahomes' Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be started in all fantasy formats for Sunday's road contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Mahomes has already thrown seven touchdown passes through two games and now meets with a Colts defense that allowed Trevor Lawrence to go 25-for-30 last week. Mahomes is a top fantasy option this week […]

Panic Meter Check for Slow Fantasy Starts - Kyle Pitts, Travis Etienne, Darnell Mooney, Russell Wilson, JuJu Smith-Schuster

We're now two weeks into this NFL season. After one week, it's fine to see a player struggle and say "ehh, whatever, it's one week." After two weeks, it could still be fine to say that, but it could also very much not be fine. That's what we're here to do today: look at a handful […]

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film and data for something that happened in the NFL this week.

Noah Brown (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This season hasn't started the way the Cowboys probably wanted it to, as quarterback Dak Prescott is currently sidelined with a hand injury. But the shorthanded Cowboys handed the Bengals a 20-17 defeat on Sunday, with a lot of the credit going […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3: Top Free Agent Adds Include Garrett Wilson, Jakobi Meyers, Sterling Shepard, Noah Brown

Week 2 can be described as the week of the rookie wide receiver. Garrett Wilson had two touchdowns. Drake London and Jahan Dotson both had a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Chris Olave was heavily involved in New Orleans too. Some of those names will make an appearance later in this piece. Below, you'll find […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Makes All Three Field-Goal Attempts In Week 2

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn went 3-for-3 on field goals in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. Fairbairn's foot provided all nine of Houston's points. Through two games, Fairbairn is now 5-for-5 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. The struggles of this offense have helped and hurt Fairbairn so far—limiting his extra point […]

O.J. Howard Disappoints In Week 2

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard was a popular waiver wire add last week after he caught two touchdowns in the opener, but his performance in Week 2 against the Broncos might lead to him returning to those same wires. The Texans targeted tight ends on 10 of their 37 pass attempts, but just one […]

Brandin Cooks Targeted 10 Times In Week 2

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks led the team in targets for the second week in a row on Sunday in Houston's 16-9 loss to the Denver Broncos. Cooks was targeted 10 times, hauling in four of those for 54 yards. Cooks saw a little dip in usage with Nico Collins getting more involved, but […]

Nico Collins Targeted Nine Times In Week 2

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was targeted nine times in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, with the former Michigan Wolverine catching four of those for 58 yards. He was second on the team in targets but led the Texans in receiving yards. Collins showed some good connection with quarterback Davis Mills at the […]

Dameon Pierce Sees Increased Role In Week 2

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce was a popular preseason sleeper, but his role in Week 1 against the Colts really stymied that hype when he took a back seat to Rex Burkhead. That trend took a major shift in Week 2's loss to the Broncos, though, as Pierce ended up being the only […]

Davis Mills Struggles Against Broncos

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills had another underwhelming performance in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. Mills was 19-for-38 from the field, finishing with 177 yards. He didn't throw an interception, but he also didn't throw a touchdown despite having one more pass attempt than he did in Week 1. Mills is in no danger […]

Should I Start Allen Robinson II in Week 2? Fantasy Football Outlook

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II didn't get off to a good start to his Rams career. In Robinson's debut with the team, the veteran receiver was targeted just twice, finishing with one catch for 12 yards. After Robinson posted such a disappointing Week 1 result, should fantasy managers trust him this week […]

Should I Start Tom Brady in Week 2 Against The Saints? Fantasy Football Outlook

In Week 1 against the Cowboys, quarterback Tom Brady threw just one touchdown and one interception. Now, he has a Week 2 meeting with the Saints on deck. But Brady has struggled against the Saints over the last two years, going 0-4 against New Orleans and failing to throw a touchdown in half of those […]

Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Bristol on Saturday night for the final race of the Round of 16. With non-playoff drivers winning the first two playoff drivers, it's still anyone's guess who'll make it to the next round of the playoffs. Only Christopher Bell has clinched a spot in the next round—of the other […]

Texans Defense Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The Houston Texans defense faces a tough test in Week 2 as the team goes on the road to face the Denver Broncos. With Russell Wilson quarterbacking the Broncos and the Texans defense allowing 340 passing yards last week, there's not a lot of upside with this defense for fantasy purposes. There will be times […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was perfect from the field in Week 1, making both of his extra points and both of his field goal attempts. Despite that, Fairbairn ranks fairly low when talking about kickers for Week 2, mainly because this Texans offense isn't good enough to put Fairbairn in position to make many […]

O.J. Howard's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard caught a pair of touchdowns last week against the Colts, but he was also only targeted on those two plays the entire game. Heading into Week 2 against the Broncos, Howard is an enticing fantasy option, but the lack of usage outside of those touchdowns last week is worrisome. […]

Nico Collins' Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was targeted three times in Week 1, catching two passes for 26 yards. His lack of usage makes him a risky fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 2 meeting with the Denver Broncos. Brandin Cooks was the team's clear No. 1 receiver last week, while Collins and Chris Moore […]
