Week 14 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

It is either the last week of the regular season or the first week of the playoffs in your fantasy football league.

Week 13 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the bye weeks are officially over and the final march for a championship has begun, streaming becomes a  necessary strategy.

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 13 Lineups

With the fantasy regular season drawing to a close, it is now crunch time for teams as preparations for the playoffs begin. Much of the season we have seen inconsistent play plague some of the upper echelon players around the league. Early round players like David Johnson and Odell Beckham have been large disappointments for […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Kyle Allen, Robert Woods, Kareem Hunt

No byes, no problem this week for fantasy footballers…unless you have more busts in your lineup than booms. This is not the week to be a fantasy turkey. Fantasy leagues are in the last or second-to-last week of their regular seasons, and time is wasting for DFS competitors to make their millions. We also have […]

Cleveland Rocks (Finally!) - What To Do With the Browns Offense

Sound the alarm. The Browns have won three in a row! After being invigorated last year by the insertion of Baker Mayfield into the starting quarterback spot, the Browns came into this season with oversized expectations. Despite starting the year 2-2, their second win was a 40-25 beatdown of the Ravens, which kept optimism alive. […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 13

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what a champion loser looks like! The Cincinnati Bengals had every reason to accidentally win in Week 12, as the Steelers were without James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and were being led by Mason Rudolph, who proved so ineffective that he was eventually replaced by someone named Devlin Hodges. […]

Red Zone Usage Risers and Fallers - Week 13

We are in the final stretch before the playoffs, meaning it is time to get your roster in shape for a playoff push and championship run. As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a touchdown, so those touches are […]

Happy Holidays! Moving onto Week 13, the outcome of your season-long leagues is now taking shape and you know if you are in the playoff race or not. Therefore, who you can rely on becomes more and more important, with the games meaning much more with each passing week. However, many fantasy owners completely overlook […]

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Matt Ryan, Deebo Samuel, D.J. Moore

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Bye weeks are finally over and by now you likely know if you are a contender, a pretender or a bubble team in your fantasy leagues. At this point in the season, you can still benefit from the waiver wire though, whether you're looking for an injury replacement, high-upside flex play, or smart stash for […]

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film.

Week 13 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

There’s nothing worse than having a turkey at the tight end position! Sorry for the Thanksgiving-related lead. Sometimes I cannot help myself. The fact is that there is something for fantasy football players to be thankful for besides sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. No NFL teams are on bye for the first time in a […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 13

We have now arrived at Week 13, which places us at the threshold of the fantasy playoffs. The unwanted process of bye weeks has been eviscerated until next season.

Whatever situation you're in, it's an important time for fantasy owners. The importance of the waiver wire […]

Week 12 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 12, several high-end quarterbacks had terrible games due to rainy and/or windy conditions. It was both windy and rainy in the Boston area on Sunday which contributed to both Tom Brady and Dak Prescott finishing with less than 12 fantasy points. There were stiff winds in Philadelphia and as a result, Russell Wilson came […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 12

With only six games remaining in the 2019 regular season and with every team now through their bye-week, we can finally look over a level playing field and truly judge the good from the bad, and the winners from the losers. Well, maybe just the losers. Now with two-thirds of the season passed, it's the […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Devin Singletary, Benny Snell, N'Keal Harry

Two more weeks left in the regular season, Rotoballers. Two more weeks to fight for a spot in the playoffs. Or if you're lucky and sitting at a 9-2 record (or thereabouts), two more weeks to rub your opponents' faces in your complete and utter dominance of the league. As always, I'm here to shift […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Jarvis Landry, Calvin Ridley, Bo Scarbrough

The last couple weeks I have been picking the perfect busts in this column. Unfortunately, they have been for the busts AND the booms. It is time to stick my feet back in the stirrups in the saddle and ride fantasy footballers to playoff berths in their leagues and hundreds of dollars in their DFS […]

Josh Allen Is Primed for Another Monster Second Half

Not long ago, Josh Allen was an untested newbie. Allen was drafted in 2018 by the Buffalo Bills and had quite a disappointing start to his career, suffering an injury in Week 7. This came after a rough six-game stretch that whiffed of mediocre quarterback play. His time off the field, however, seemed to bolster […]

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film.
