Doug Martin, Justin Forsett and Antonio Andrews Solid Options This Week

After three straight weeks of 100-plus yard production, Doug Martin has fallen back to Earth as the Muscle Hamster’s only amassed 102 yards in his last two games. Martin was benched for part of his Week 9 matchup because he couldn’t hang on to the ball, so he needs to prove his worth against a […]

Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates Strong Options Against Bears

The San Diego Chargers were dealt a terrible blow when wide receiver Keenan Allen was put on injured reserve with a lacerated kidney earlier this week. Allen was the Chargers' best receiver, and his 792 yards ranked third in the NFL before he left early against Baltimore. Still, Philip Rivers will find a way to […]

Greg Olsen, Delanie Walker and Charles Clay are Solid Plays in Week 9

As we’ve discussed before, the tight end can be a maddening position. Unless you have Rob Gronkowski, chances are you’re hoping for maybe six or seven points from your tight end to consider it a successful week. Gronkowski is on a level of his own, so let’s take a look at three other tight ends […]

Doug Martin, Dion Lewis and Latavius Murray Have Great Matchups in Week 9

With a few first-rounders out for the year and six teams on a bye this week, the pickings are slim for quality running back play in Week 9. However, there are three running backs in particular who should have big days in their respective games. Doug Martin has been a monster over his last two […]

Eli Manning, Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger in for Big Games in Week 9

With a bye-heavy Week 9, let’s take a look at a few quarterbacks who are primed to thrive on Sunday. Eli Manning, for all of his faults, has put up monster numbers when he isn’t playing within the NFC East. In four games against divisional opponents, Manning is averaging just 10.6 fantasy points per game. […]

Delanie Walker, Ladarius Green, Gary Barnidge: Must-Starts for Week 8?

The tight end can be a maddening position in fantasy football, because Rob Gronkowski is basically the only one expected to have a big game every week. There are a few others who are classified as second-tier tight ends, but none of them produce the kind of numbers that knock it out of the park. […]

Philip Rivers, Keenan Allen Due for Monster Weeks on Sunday

The San Diego Chargers aren’t a very good football team, but Philip Rivers and Keenan Allen are playing at unreal levels this season. Blame it on the running game which has been a disaster, or the defense that has forced San Diego to play from behind in just about every game this season, but both […]

Todd Gurley and Mark Ingram Will Thrive in Week 8

Few running backs have had the type of success that Todd Gurley and Mark Ingram have had this season, as both former SEC backs have taken the league by storm. Gurley has played like the Rams hoped he would when they took him No. 10 overall in the draft, and Ingram has finally come into […]

Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin: Week 8 Lineup Booms?

A pair of top-tier running backs come into Week 8 with some favorable matchups as fantasy football owners look for a strong push to the second half of their season. Both Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin are workhorse running backs who should treat their owners nicely on Sunday. Martin has returned to his rookie form […]

Drew Brees and Derek Carr Should Thrive in Week 7

Both Drew Brees and Derek Carr come into Week 7 with extra rest, and both look poised to do well against their respective opponents. After a shoulder injury slowed him down early in the season, Brees has come back strong with three-straight 300-yard games. He's not lighting up the scoreboard like we're accustomed to seeing, […]

Lamar Miller to Shine, Dion Lewis to Struggle in Week 7

A pair of AFC East running backs enter Week 7 coming off polar opposite performances in Week 6. Lamar Miller, the Miami Dolphins running back who was non-existent during the first month of the season, bounced back in a big way against the Tennessee Titans, while New England Patriots' running back Dion Lewis barely touched […]

Don't Expect Much From Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson Against Redskins

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter Week 7 off their bye week and with a favorable matchup against the dysfunctional Washington Redskins. This is a game the Bucs have a strong possibility of winning, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect much production from wide receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson. Let's start with Evans, who's been the […]

Philip Rivers, Keenan Allen Should Perform Well Against Oakland Raiders

Philip Rivers proved he wasn't human in Week 6 when he destroyed the Green Bay Packers for more than 500 yards and two touchdowns. Keenan Allen, who has been Rivers' favorite target this season, was the beneficiary of 14 of those completions for 157 yards in that game, and the two showed they have the […]

Arian Foster Ready to Break Out Against the Jaguars

After finishing with just 18 yards in his first game back in Week 4, Arian Foster rebounded for 118 total yards against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. Foster struggled to get things going on the ground, but he did some serious damage in the passing game by finishing with 77 receiving yards. Now, Foster […]

Lamar Miller Should Bounce Back Against Titans

The Miami Dolphins had high hopes coming into this NFL season, but a 1-3 start and the dismissal of their head coach has them wondering where to go next. The lack of use of running back Lamar Miller has been a reason for Miami's struggles this season, and the team needs to get him going […]

Jeremy Maclin Will See a Heavy Workload Against the Minnesota Vikings

The Kansas City Chiefs were dealt an awful blow when running back Jamaal Charles tore his ACL against the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The Chiefs had high hopes coming into this season, but after a 1-4 start and now having to sideline their best player for the year, the optimism has since dampened in […]

Charles Clay Remains a Strong Tight End Play in Week 5

There haven't been many more tight ends who have enjoyed the success that Charles Clay has this season, and there's no reason to think he should slow down this week. Clay has quickly become Tyrod Taylor's favorite target so far, and a banged-up Sammy Watkins means Clay could see even more targets against the Tennessee […]

Matt Ryan in For a Big Game Against Redskins

The Atlanta Falcons are 4-0, and their offense strongly resembles the Falcons' offenses we were used to seeing when they first drafted Julio Jones. Matt Ryan has yet to really explode against any opponent this season, but that could all change on Sunday. Ryan is averaging 18 points per week in standard leagues, and this […]

Sell On Calvin Johnson This Week

Calvin Johnson is a once-in-a-generation receiver, and he's aimlessly wasting his career by playing for the Detroit Lions. It's a shame, really. Johnson was once an unguardable receiver who made defensive backs look foolish when he'd put his big body in place to snag would-be interceptions. Unfortunately for Megatron and fantasy owners who thought he'd […]

Blake Bortles Due for Solid Outing Against Bucs

Usually, anybody who suggests starting a Jacksonville Jaguar in fantasy football should be considered borderline insane, but quarterback Blake Bortles might be the one exception to that rule. The third overall pick from last year's draft is finally starting to come into his own, and fantasy owners deflated by the bye week should consider taking a […]

Peyton Manning Set to Thrive in Week 5

Manning was indestructible during his first three seasons in Denver, but is Father Time finally starting to catch up with him? Manning isn't putting up abysmal numbers, but he isn't putting up the sort of numbers that justify drafting him so high. Though he's off to a slower start than expected, he's in for a juicy […]

Amari Cooper Still A Must-Start in Week 5?

Amari Cooper has been everything as advertised since the Oakland Raiders drafted him No. 4 overall in this year's NFL draft. The rookie phenom is on pace for more than 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns this season, and he's quickly become Derek Carr's favorite target. The Raiders will be in for quite a challenge as […]

Why Charles Sims is a Nice Flex Play to Have

Despite a good-looking win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 2, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have looked abysmal this season. They mirror the same old Bucs from last year, the same team that went 2-14 and finished with the first pick in the 2015 NFL draft. Think they regret choosing Jameis Winston over Marcus Mariota […]

What Happened to the Houston Texans' Defense?

The Houston Texans' 1-3 start is not where the team, nor most fans, envisioned they'd be after the first month of the NFL season. Unfortunately, that is exactly the case, and fantasy football owners who jumped on the Texans' defense are left scratching their heads and wondering just what in the world went wrong. Even […]

Expect a Blowout Win From the Green Bay Packers on Sunday

Despite the loss of stud wide receiver Jordy Nelson, the Green Bay Packers are sitting pretty atop the NFC North win an unblemished 4-0 record. The Pack have looked marvelous in almost every facet of the game so far, and look for that to continue when they host the St. Louis Rams in Week 5. […]

What to Make of Antonio Gates' Return for the San Diego Chargers

Antonio Gates is set to make his 2015 debut after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's Policy and Program for performance-enhancing substances. So what should fantasy owners make of his return? Gates has forever been the favorite target of quarterback Philip Rivers. But Rivers has also found a reliable weapon in Ladarius Green, […]

Why the Baltimore Ravens Will Beat the Cleveland Browns in Week 5

After a disastrous 0-3 start, the Baltimore Ravens got a season-saving win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. Despite the loss of wide receiver Steve Smith, the Ravens used their ground game and defense to slow down the Steelers' high-powered offense, even though the absence of Ben Roethlisberger definitely helped their cause. Still, the […]
