Thanksgiving Thursday Matchups Analysis - Week 13 Starts/Sits

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Deshaun Watson and his motley crew of pass catchers helped to propel the Texans to an AFC South-leading 7-6 record after pulling out a victory over the Indianapolis Colts last Thursday. DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller combined for over 200 receiving yards and two scores in the win. On the other […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 12

Talk about a shocking move by Myles Garrett. The Cleveland Browns performed well against a beaten up Pittsburgh Steelers team last week, but the win was ultimately overshadowed by a fight between Garrett and Mason Rudolph on a meaningless play. After reviewing the incident, the NFL delivered multiple punishments in the form of suspensions and […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 11

Thursday Night Football came down to the wire in Week 10, with Melvin Gordon looking like his old self while rumbling for 108 rushing yards and a score on 22 carries.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10

San Francisco stands alone as the sole remaining undefeated team in the NFL after a close battle in the desert.

Newly-acquired Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings are becoming a true contender. Even though the Vikings air raid looked strong with quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing for 285 passing yards and wideout Stefon Diggs eclipsing the 100 receiving yard mark in a 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins, running back Dalvin Cook stole the show with 171 total yards and […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 8

The madden curse strikes again.

Despite the injury, […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 7

The New England Patriots continue to roll through the competition. Tom Brady managed to trounce the New York Giants with 334 passing yards and two rushing touchdowns, vulturing goal line work from Sony Michel who failed to eclipse 100 yards despite carrying the football 22 times. Each team's top receiving option produced exceptional fantasy days, […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 6

Russell Wilson is making a strong case for MVP.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 5

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 3

I will ask the obvious question on the minds of many who watched Thursday Night Football last week: what is the deal with Cam Newton? The Panthers signal-caller threw 51 times against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, yet only completed 25 of those attempts and failed to find the end zone. Perhaps his foot injury is […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 2

Well, that wasn't exactly the opening night we were expecting. The first Thursday Night Football matchup of 2019 didn't live up to the hype of the historic rivalry between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, with only 467 total yards of offense across both squads. Nonetheless, there were some notable fantasy performances from Packers […]

Slot Receiver Sleepers to Target in Fantasy Drafts

Depending on the offense, wide receivers who line up in the slot can play an invaluable role in moving the chains. While some of the big-name wide receivers like Tyreek Hill and JuJu Smith-Schuster are projected to run a large number of their routes from the interior, some of the lesser-known slot receivers can provide […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, NYJ) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~135 Overall Current ADP: ~150 Coming over from Washington after an injury-marred 2018 campaign, Crowder can be described as a route technician out of the slot and has the ability to be an asset to fantasy owners in Jet green. Having played in 47 out of his first 48 games in […]

Anthony Miller (WR, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~135 It is rare that you can get a late-round wide receiver with the talent to jump to the top of his team's depth chart. The player who currently sits atop the Chicago Bears pecking order, Allen Robinson, is three years removed from his "breakout season" without […]

How to Approach the Patriots Backfield in 2019

Success for a running back in fantasy football is largely about volume. Workhorse backs who dominate snaps are ideal, committees who rotate depending on the game script are a problem. Less certain backfields start to become much more prevalent in the middle rounds and beyond in fantasy drafts, and deciding how to approach each one […]

Why Tyrell Williams Can Be a Starting Fantasy WR in 2019

Unexpected productivity from a late-round wide receiver in your fantasy drafts can help to pave your way to a championship. Scouting out these diamonds in the rough before your pick is on the clock often involves subverting the negative consensus expectations for a player. Newly acquired Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams isn't getting much […]

Quarterback Stat Sleepers - Adjusted Completion Percentage

There are plenty of factors that go into a fantasy quarterback's success in any given season. While some passers could be said to be more "accurate" than others, completion percentage isn't the most reliable of metrics. This is because it can easily be skewed by the talent around a quarterback, dropped passes, and various other […]

Why Jared Cook Will Be Overdrafted Everywhere in 2019

Imagine yourself back in Week 7 of the 2017 NFL regular season. In what would turn out to be an offensive battle that had many fantasy owners jumping out of their seats, the Kansas City Chiefs made their way to Oakland Coliseum for a bout with the Raiders on Thursday Night Football to kick off […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 15

Those fantasy owners who started Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, despite the tough matchup on paper, were heavily rewarded last Thursday.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10

If you had told me San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens would throw for over 250 yards and three touchdowns in his first taste of NFL action, I would have called you crazy.
