Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts: 2017 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Editor Note
This is the category that drives editor's note. If it is selected, then the editor's note will appear for MLB, NFL, NBA or NHL.

Week 9 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

You might think with six teams on bye and less players overall to consider, establishing a solid set of rankings might be a bit easier. In fact, for fantasy purposes it makes it far tougher to establish the lower value tiers because you have to wade through RB committees and WR4/WR5 types just to assess […]


Fantasy Spin - Kelvin Benjamin Traded to Buffalo

While a couple of big trades went down before this year's NFL trade deadline, the Kelvin Benjamin deal is possibly the most surprising. Nobody expected Buffalo to add yet another receiver and it's still not clear what the Panthers were thinking by dealing their WR1 with no clear replacement. Benjamin was inactive for this week's […]


Is Zero RB Actually Working in 2017?

Zero RB truthers (that’s me) - this article is for you. Did you do the right thing by sticking to your guns after a rough go in 2016? If you were savvy/lucky enough to select the right WRs in the first 4-5 rounds (Antonio Brown, Tyreek Hill, DeAndre Hopkins, Brandin Cooks, Michael Crabtree, Larry Fitzgerald, […]


Using NFL Next Gen Stats to Navigate RBBCs

What is more frustrating than a running back by committee team? Oh, that's right, it's nothing.

One of the […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 9): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

Can you believe we are eight weeks through the season?

Picking Up The Pieces After Deshaun Watson's Injury

Yesterday's season-ending injury left a lot of us in a severe state of fantasy football related depression, to the extent that that's a legitimate phenomenon (it is).

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 9)

The Dolphins have become quite the train wreck, haven't they... After suffering a 40-point blowout loss last Thursday night, it should become abundantly clear for fantasy owners that there are next to no reliable players to be found in the Miami Dolphins offense (especially with the departure of Jay Ajayi for Philadelphia). The returns of […]
