Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Jakobi Meyers, Olamide Zaccheaus, Keenan Allen

Figuring out which teams and players have an incentive to play their best in Week 18 is always a challenge. It would be nice if we could assume that every player suiting up on Sunday was going to play their usual amount of snaps or give maximum effort, but that simply isn't always the case. […]

Houston Texans Defense D/ST Streamers, Rankings, Waiver Wire - Derek Stingley Fantasy Football IDP

D/ST Matchups to Target in Week 18 - Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans

Nailing the right defense and special teams unit in DFS can be what takes you from the middle of the pack to the top of the leaderboard! DFS players tend to pay down for cheap defenses in cash games to save as much salary as possible, but paying up for defenses with upside is one […]

Joe Flacco - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Quarterback Matchups to Target in Week 18 - Baker Mayfield, Joe Flacco, Joshua Dobbs

Week 18 can get a bit tricky in DFS. While we want to target teams with something to play for regarding their playoff fate, we can't ignore the other games. This week's group of quarterbacks is a good example of targeting both types of games -- those that matter and some that don't. And we […]

The Fastest Path to the Top 50: Fantasy Basketball Statistical Analysis

The NBA season is not even halfway over, but the lull in the schedule created by the NBA Cup gave me time to start thinking about what types of data I could research in this coming offseason to become a more informed analyst and a better overall fantasy basketball manager. And then I started thinking, […]

We ring in the new year with an eight-game slate on FanDuel today!

Should I Start Olamide Zaccheaus in Week 17? Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

The Washington Commanders had an unlikely hero last week in their upset of the Philadelphia Eagles - Olamide Zaccheaus. The veteran wideout came out of nowhere to catch five of eight targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns. With the Commanders' receiver room all banged up, could he be in line for another big performance […]

Should I Pick Up Raheem Blackshear or Mike Boone? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

The Panthers made a surprising announcement on Friday, shutting down their top running back Chuba Hubbard for the remainder of the season by placing him on IR. Rookie Jonathon Brooks is already out for the season and Miles Sanders is long gone. That leaves only the veteran Mike Boone and third-year running back Raheem Blackshear […]

The San Francisco 49ers playoff hopes might be over, but your fantasy football championship dreams may still be intact!

Last week we hit on several big performances from tight ends in this feature and we're going to run it back with a few familiar names this week as well. In the modern NFL, the tight end position has become a vital part of most team's offenses, though some teams utilize it more than others. […]

When Will George Pickens Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 17 (2024)

George Pickens was beginning to look like an emerging superstar for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as he logged double-digit fantasy points in five of his first six starts with Russell Wilson under center. But Pickens hasn't played since Week 13 as he's been nursing a hamstring injury and the Steelers passing game has suffered as a […]
