In dynasty fantasy football, roster spots are currency.

The key part of this format is maximizing a […]

DeAndre Carter Ruled Out Of Sunday's Game

The Cleveland Browns announced that wide receiver DeAndre Carter (concussion) will not return to Sunday's game against Baltimore due to the injury.

J.J. McCarthy Showing Superflex Potential

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is a high-end Superflex option as his team plays host to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2.

Now playing behind a […]

Starting Potential For T.J. Hockenson Against Falcons

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson should be viewed as a starting option when his team plays host to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2.

Average Matchup For Will Reichard In Week 2

Kicker Will Reichard of the Minnesota Vikings faces a middle-of-the-road matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night.

Cedric Tillman A Possible Add Despite Cluttered Browns Offense

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman has low-end starter/flex potential that could be worth a waiver-wire add in deeper PPR formats, especially.

Keenan Allen Still Showing Starting Potential

Long a productive fantasy wide receiver, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is once again showing he can be a starting option in his first year back with L.A.
