Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 14 Lineups
Barring any changes made to league schedules, Week 14 has become the final week of the regular season for fantasy managers. This season, like many others, has much importance thrust upon the final game of the regular season. In season's past, you typically see a clear division between the playoff-caliber teams and the others that... Read More

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 11 Lineups
Week 10 in the NFL continued the trend of wild and wacky scoring around the league that leads to fantasy managers playing the guessing game. With players like Trevor Siemian and Kendrick Bourne occupying spots inside their respective top 10, the narrative continues to hold that setting your starting lineups is more than just putting...

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 10 Lineups
Throughout the 2021 season, we have seen some baffling player production every week. But in Week 9, we somehow landed in the Bizzaro world of fantasy football. Sure, there were your traditional names littered among the top of positional rankings. But overwhelmingly, we saw several players come from out of nowhere to produce starter-level statistics... Read More
Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 9 Lineups
After a week where we saw the cream rise to the top, Week 8 was back to the wild wild west in the world of fantasy football. At quarterback, it was the week of backups performing beyond expectation as Mike White, Geno Smith, and Cooper Rush all finished as QB1 options. Meanwhile, running backs and... Read More
Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 8 Lineups
With six teams on bye and an abundance of injuries to factor in, Week 7 sent many fantasy managers into a tailspin to put together a workable starting lineup. Some managers were hit a little harder than others, but as a whole, this was the week that many had to get through as best as... Read More
Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 7 Lineups
Although we did see some surprising performances (Jaylen Waddle and Donovan Peoples-Jones), Week 6 in fantasy football saw somewhat of a return to normalcy. More of your well-known and upper-echelon players put in solid weeks and brought forth plus production. Whenever we see these types of weeks, it can set fantasy managers' minds at ease... Read More
Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 6 Lineups
If Week 5 in the NFL taught us anything, it's just how much of a guessing game that fantasy football will continue to be. Of course, there are those easy-to-make calls in your starting lineups. But it's the performances that come from out of nowhere that can leave fantasy managers second-guessing their decision-making. Just take... Read More
Dan Arnold Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football
Arnold has seemed to find a nice home very quickly with the Jaguars as he has taken hold of the starting TE job for the team that has been in dire need of one for years. He will be looking to continue the momentum from last week where he saw eight targets and finished with... Read More
Javonte Williams Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football
Sooner or later Williams will break out in a big way as we continue to see glimpses of it on the field. He is top 24 in rushing yards (247) while ranking even higher in catch rate (91.7%) and evaded tackles (22). But the downside is that he continues to be on the wrong side... Read More
Robert Tonyan Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football
We all knew a regression from 2020 was due to happen for Tonyan. But to completely disappear from the Packers' offense entirely was unexpected. Through five games, he has just nine receptions, leading to a lowly 4.6 FPPG and landing him at 37th at the position. There are some silver linings to Tonyan as he... Read More
Amon-Ra St. Brown Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football
It has taken a bit for the rookie wideout to catch on with the Lions, but St. Brown is finally starting to get his chance to shine in this offense. After just six receptions over the first three games, he has seen an uptick in targets (16) and receptions (13) in the last two games.... Read More
Allen Robinson Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football
In what should be viewed as one of the major disappointments in fantasy to begin the season, Robinson has drawn the ire of many managers. He currently ranks as WR61 on the season and has looked even worse from an analytical standpoint. He is 66th at the position in routes run (113) which has led... Read More
Booms and Busts for Week 5 Lineups
The world of fantasy football can be a vicious cycle throughout the long season with mind-numbing performances from players that can leave managers second-guessing roster decisions. That was yet again the case in Week 4 as the trend of under-the-radar players outperforming their rankings continued. Players like Taylor Heinicke, Kenneth Gainwell, and Van Jefferson took... Read More
Justin Fields - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Many in the world of fantasy football are looking forward to the upside that Fields provides to a very boring Bears offense. There are pieces to work with in this offense, but the utilization has yet to click. The struggles of the play-calling show in advanced analytics as he ranks near the bottom in both... Read More
Damien Harris - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Harris has become somewhat of a forgotten man coming off the heels of two stinkers against some of the top defenses in the league. With only 10 carries combined over the last two weeks, his advanced analytics have taken a beating. He's fallen outside the top 20 across all major categories and will be looking... Read More
Odell Beckham Jr. - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Since his return to the lineup, Beckham has been consistently involved in the passing game (16 targets) as the Browns lack options. The downside is that the production has yet to take hold as Baker Mayfield has struggled with consistency. In his two games back, he already ranks inside the top 10 in deep targets (7), but...

Booms and Busts for Week 4 Lineups
Another week goes by in fantasy football, and it was yet another wild one in terms of trends of scoring from the group of unheralded players. You know things are going unexpectedly when you see top performances from players like Sam Darnold, Peyton Barber, and Kendrick Bourne. All of these players came from out of... Read More
Evan Engram - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Many may point to Engram as being someone worth starting this week as the Giants could be very thin at receiver with both Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton reeling and Kenny Golladay continuing to play banged up. But with the Giants going on the road to play a very tough Saints defense, the Giants offense, in general, could struggle this week.... Read More
Brandin Cooks - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Cooks has been largely a revelation to begin the fantasy season, even with the perceived poor QB play. He has been the entire Texans passing attack so far with 32 targets over the first three games and back-to-back games with nine receptions. He is also top three in the league in both receptions (23) and... Read More
Mike Davis - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Many were anticipating Davis to be a bell-cow type back in Atlanta this year as the team avoided bringing in a true threat in the backfield to oppose him in free agency. But with the emergence of Cordarrelle Patterson and his unique skillset, the Falcons find themselves with a committee backfield suddenly. In each of the first... Read More
Ryan Tannehill - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Even though he finished as a QB1 in Week 3, it has largely been a horrific start to the 2021 season for Tannehill. With just two touchdowns over the first two games, he found himself as QB24 after those two efforts. We are clearly seeing the downside to Tannehill when he is not operating at... Read More
Cole Kmet - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Kmet has found himself in the fantasy doghouse with managers. He's on the field a decent amount (76.6% snap share). But he's not seeing many opportunities as he has been asked to stay in as a blocker, limiting his routes run to just 54 (ranking 22nd). With the ineptitude of the Bears' offensive line, the... Read More
Zack Moss - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football
I can't believe I'm saying this but is Zack Moss all of a sudden "good?" After the healthy scratch in the first game of the season, Moss has seemed to come back with a chip on his shoulder and produced two straight RB2 scoring weeks. With touchdowns in back-to-back weeks, Moss has become a threat... Read More
Booms and Busts for Week 3 Lineups
Week 2 in the NFL continued the trend of non-traditional starters in fantasy out-producing their counterparts that are mainstays in lineups. Players like Derek Carr, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Rondale Moore put forth surprising efforts, catching many fantasy managers off guard as these are players that were largely on the waiver wire entering the week. But... Read More

Booms and Busts for Week 2 Lineups
Just as fast as it took for us to get to the beginning of the 2021 NFL season, Week 1 has come and gone in the fantasy football world. And it was a whirlwind of a week at that. Whether it be dealing with injuries like Raheem Mostert or navigating through player news that affected... Read More
