Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Marquise Brown, Devin Singletary, Hunter Renfrow

Week 9 of the fantasy football season is banging on your front door with the force of a thousand fists. Hopefully, you're at a point in your win-loss record where you feel comfortable letting it in. Now, let's all take a seat on the couch as we once again turn our focus to the 2019 draft […]

Red Zone Risers/Fallers - Tevin Coleman, Julian Edelman, Derrick Henry

We are now past the mid-point of the season, meaning it is time to look at getting your roster in shape for your playoff push and beyond to the championship weeks. As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a […]

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. […]

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 […]

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. Fantasy footballers have to contend with another four-team bye week that takes all of the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons out of play. But even with a slightly smaller player pool to […]

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 owner sending the offer usually thinks about only what they want and need and how little they may be able to part with. Such offers usually consist of one owner simply deciding on the […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Devin Singletary, Robert Woods, Odell Beckham

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. […]

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. They believed Cam Newton was essentially finished and less efficient than Allen when he was actually on the field. Then Allen imploded against a tough San Francisco defense […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 9

Whether your fantasy team is sitting pretty at 7-1 or is still clawing toward contention at 3-5, you shouldn't neglect the waiver wire. Especially in deeper leagues where you need any edge you can get at the flex position. With bye weeks in full effect and the free agent scraps getting fewer and fewer, let […]

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 […]

Wild Cards: Fantasy Outlook for Arizona's RBs

When fantasy owners drafted David Johnson in the first round this season, they thought and hoped for a return to superstar form. Johnson had an Average Draft Position of seventh overall in the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC). The season opened in promising fashion, with 137 yards from scrimmage and six receptions plus a rushing […]

The regular season continues to advance at a relentless pace as we have now entered planning for Week 9.

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

We're heading into the ninth week of NFL football now. Time flies and all that, right? Week 8 was one of those weeks where it can be hard to watch football, as the matchups weren't great and the best teams kept winning and anyone who had to play against Tevin Coleman had a really bad […]

Week 9 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

Week 9 will not be an easy week for fantasy football owners or tight end lovers. Four NFL teams are on bye this week, and the tight ends who will be out of action are prominent and valuable. Atlanta’s Austin Hooper, who has been a top-5 tight end throughout the season, is the marquee name […]

Week 8 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that bye weeks are in full swing; streaming becomes a more viable and almost necessary strategy. Knowing who to add and when to start them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup. Making the right streaming decisions throughout the season could easily be the difference between missing the playoffs and having a […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Corey Davis, Curtis Samuel, Mohamed Sanu

No Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson this week? No problem! Fantasy football players might need to make do without one or more of their superstars this week due to the dreaded bye week putting the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys on a one-week vacation. Daily fantasy contest players will also have […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 8

After seven weeks of NFL action, we are beginning to have enough evidence to see just who is who. Who are the contenders, who are the pretenders, and who is everyone in between? Everywhere you turn you can find lots of smart people sussing out those important answers, but where else can you find an […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Diontae Johnson, Mecole Hardman, Preston Williams

It's Week 8 of the 2019 fantasy football season, Rotoballers. And what a ride it's been.

Red Zone Risers, Fallers - Mike Evans, Mike Williams, Josh Jacobs

We are now entering the middle of the season and teams have shown their hand with their play-calling tendencies. In particular, the red-zone usage of most players has taken shape.

Players to Buy Before the Trade Deadline

The NFL trade deadline is now less than a week away, which gives you just enough time to get ahead of your competition. The deadline hasn't historically been filled with a flurry of moves, but we're at a time in the fantasy seasons where the end of our benches should be filled with high-end stashes […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, David Montgomery

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.

Offensive Line Rankings Analysis: Week 8

With Week 7 in the books, we have a new team in the top five offensive lines! Good offensive line play gives a team the best chance to be effective.
