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. After failing to eclipse 60 yards on the ground in a game this season, he exploded to the tune of 238 rushing yards and four touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars with an effort […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 14

In what might be one of the greatest upsets of the regular season, the Dallas Cowboys found a way to take down a red-hot New Orleans Saints squad last Thursday in a 13-10 win. Drew Brees and Alvin Kamara didn't do much to impress while Ezekiel Elliott passed 100 all-purpose yards for the eighth time […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 13

The Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, and New Orleans Saints came out with victories during the Thanksgiving Thursday football games and were rewarded with delicious turkey legs in the post-game show! Although Thanksgiving has passed, many fantasy owners are still hungry as the league playoffs approach. Week 13 kicks off with a New Orleans Saints team […]

Thanksgiving Thursday Matchups Analysis - Week 12 Starts/Sits

Happy Thanksgiving to all! It was Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks' dominant ground game that carried the day on Thursday Night Football in Week 11. In a rematch of the 2014 NFC Championship, the Seahawks managed to pull out the 27-24 victory in a thriller over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 11

The good times continue to roll for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who put up 52 points against the Carolina Panthers last Thursday night and now find themselves in the midst of a five-game win streak. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger continued his absolute dominance at home by tossing five touchdown passes, including scoring receptions from Antonio Brown […]

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. Yet here we are, scratching our heads about how the Oakland Raiders only managed to generate 242 yards of total offense in […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 9

Deshaun Watson is BACK! Although the Houston Texans quarterback didn't exactly accomplish much on the ground, Watson managed to throw for five touchdowns in what was easily the highest number of passing scores he has had in a game this season. Unfortunately, the Texans didn't escape the game unscathed, as wide receiver Will Fuller tore […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 8

The Arizona Cardinals continue to be the laughing stock of the National Football League. The Red Sea had been outscored 101-82 heading into last Thursday night and the gap continued to grow. The Denver Broncos managed to find the end zone six times in the contest, including scores from Phillip Lindsay, Royce Freeman, and Emmanuel […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 7

The last Thursday Night Football battle featuring two NFC East squads was clearly a one-sided affair. The Philadelphia Eagles completely outpaced the New York Giants in a game where quarterback Carson Wentz threw for three touchdowns, including two to wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, and new lead rusher Corey Clement managed to punch in a touchdown […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 6

While the New England Patriots-Indianapolis Colts rivalry wasn't as close a contest as football fans had hoped for last Thursday night, many players returned productive numbers for fantasy owners. Tom Brady and Andrew Luck both managed to eclipse the 300-passing yard mark and throw for an identical 3:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio, allowing for multiple pass-catchers to […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 5

Finally, football fans got the Thursday night shootout they were looking for! The Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings put up over 1,000 yards in total offense during their Thursday Night Football game in Week 4. Fantasy owners who started most offensive pieces on either team were rewarded with a bevy of points to kick […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 4

The Baker Mayfield era has arrived in Cleveland. Filling in for the concussed Tyrod Taylor near the end of the second quarter in last week's Thursday Night Football game, Mayfield would go on to complete 17 of his 23 passes for 201 yards en route to the Cleveland Browns' first win in 635 days. Fantasy […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 3

I have already written A.J. Green an apology letter. After noting that I would "hesitantly" put the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver in the must-start category for last week's Thursday Night Football Matchups column due to the Baltimore Ravens' history of finding ways to keep him in check, he subtly responded by catching three touchdown passes […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 2

That was a disappointing opening Thursday game... Aside from the Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles game featuring a ridiculous number of penalties, it truly boiled down to a defensive battle with little scoring action for fantasy owners. What might be most concerning for owners who have invested in the Atlanta Falcons offense is their continued […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 1

The wait is over ladies and gentlemen! Week 1 of the regular season is finally here and fantasy owners alike are anxious to see how their teams will develop.

Offenses To Trust and Which Will Bust for 2018 Fantasy Football

It perhaps goes without saying that fantasy owners should look to draft players on high-powered offenses, as they usually offer a bevy of startable assets and have a higher chance for scoring opportunities than most teams. Although stud players can often rise above their circumstances, projecting which teams will prosper on the offensive side of […]

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, what does this really mean? Completion percentage does little to tell us about a quarterback's overall ability in that department because it can easily be skewed by […]

Charles Clay (TE, BUF) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of […]

Running Back Depth Chart Projections - Training Camp Edition

Now that the 2018 NFL Draft and the bulk of free agent signings have concluded, fantasy owners have a somewhat clearer picture of how each team's offense is going to look this upcoming season. Still, many roster positions are won and lost in training camp and the preseason, especially when it comes to the running […]

Sophomore Slump Candidates for 2018

The dreaded "sophomore slump," or significant drop off in production a player experiences in his second NFL season, is something that fantasy owners hope to never hear being said about a player they own or plan on drafting. The 2017 season saw plenty of rookies make noticeable, even historic impacts on their teams immediately upon […]

Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers.
