Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - O.J. Howard, DeVante Parker, Cole Beasley
The fantasy football talent pool is a lot thinner this week than usual, as bye weeks take out nearly a fifth of the NFL teams from Week 10 play.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Keenan Allen, Damien Williams, Mohamed Sanu
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Week 9 Surprises? We Must Overreact
In Week 9 several high-end players had exploitable matchups and came through in a big way. Mike Evans, Tyler Lockett, and D.K. Metcalf were all expected to have big games, and all three finished in the top three in PPR scoring. At running back, David Montgomery scored two touchdowns as he continues to emerge as... Read More

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 9
Sometimes two statements can be both totally contradictory and totally true. Technically the Miami Dolphins are trying their hardest to win every game. Also technically, when you let Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 34 times, you aren't really trying to win that game. And sometimes a professional football game can technically be played by non-professional football... Read More

Welcome Back, Matthew Stafford
The NFC North could be the best division in the league. Not only in terms of overall competitiveness, but in how terrifying each defense has been. The Bears, Packers and of course the Vikings have legit pass defenses in 2019. The best of the bunch is the Vikings, who currently rank sixth in team defense.... Read More
Jacksonville's Confusing Pass Offense
Outside of Leonard Fournette, it has been hard to consistently trust a fantasy option on Jacksonville's offense. Nick Foles broke his collarbone in Week 1, thrusting sixth-round rookie Gardner Minshew II into the starting lineup. The tight end position is simply not producing numbers. We've seen the likes of James O'Shaughnessy and Geoff Swaim attempt... Read More
Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Derek Carr, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill
The NFL trade deadline was a yawn. Let’s hope the rest of your fantasy football season isn’t.

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9
Many fantasy football trades get rejected or talks break off because the team making offers does not think things through.

The Forthcoming Resurrection of Cam Newton
After Kyle Allen’s 4-0 start as the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, many fans and analysts were clamoring for his permanent placement atop the depth chart.

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers
Week 8 didn't offer too many surprises for the most part. There were, however, a few players that registered multiple-touchdown performances which elevated them up the ranks, such as Aaron Jones (2 TD), Tevin Coleman (4 TD), Latavius Murray (2 TD) and Mike Evans (2 TD). For the most part, the players that scored multiple... Read More
