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.

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.

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...
