Week 5 NFL Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel

Week 4 was fairly strange, as one single game (SEA-DET) produced outsized play volume and points, leading to many players from that game being optimal for DFS lineups. Unfortunately, I faded much of the chalk, so you can guess how my week went in tournaments. Week 5 is shaping up to be an ugly slate, […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 5 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Another week with odd conditions that affect us posting a sweep. Some crappy weather in Baltimore affected the gameplay, to the tune of four turnovers combined and the total fell under by eight points. The Dallas covering -3 was probably the easiest bet we'll place and hit all year, while the under with Cleveland and […]

Colts vs Broncos Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Russell Wilson, Jerry Jeudy, Melvin Gordon, Nyheim Hines, Mike Boone, Mo Alie-Cox, Alec Pierce

I hope you all survived last week. With monster weeks from lots of second-tier players such as Josh Jacobs, Miles Sanders, and Jamaal Williams, some of the teams with slow starts might have gotten their revenge.  This week, we have two veteran quarterbacks who are looking to turn their new teams around. Thankfully, both QBs […]

Coaching Matters: Offensive Outliers From Week 4

This is the fourth week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film and data for something that happened in the NFL this week. Today, I want to look at a young running back who has been producing over the last few weeks: Houston Texans rookie Dameon Pierce. In Week 4, Pierce had the […]

Offensive lines across the NFL struggled to create a pocket or generate a push on the ground in Week 4. 14 different offensive lines had an average PFF grade under 61.0, including three teams (Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and the Los Angeles Rams) that failed to score a 51.0 grade. Luckily, there weren’t as many significant injuries […]

Week 4 of the NFL season was another wild one.

Kenny Pickett: Pittsburgh Steelers' Savior?

The Pittsburgh Steelers played the New York Jets last week. Mitchell Trubisky started the game and played the first half of the game, a half in which the Steelers had eight first downs in seven possessions. Trubisky could not get them to the red zone. The second half started and ended with Kenny Pickett under […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 5

I noticed the beginning of a trend last week when several friends moved to drop highly rated defenders for one of my Gambles. It didn't happen just once, but multiple times. Each time these friends would drop someone I had rated highly just to stream one of my Gambles. It is an act I find […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups and Free Agent Adds - All Positions

It was just a matter of time before the injuries to big-name players hit, especially at the running back position.

FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Fantasy Football Pickups to Target for Week 5

Rev up those wallets because Week 4 supplied loads of mayhem for us to react to.

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5: Top Free Agent Adds Include Romeo Doubs, George Pickens, Jahan Dotson, Corey Davis

Week 4 was a fun week in the NFL. We got to see Bailey Zappe almost lead the Patriots to a win over the Packers, which is cool for me, a long-time Zappe fan dating back to his time at Houston Baptist University. We also got to see some big wide receiver performances, including DK […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5: Top Free Agent Adds Include Tyler Conklin, Mo Alie-Cox, Taysom Hill, Robert Tonyan

2022 has not exactly been the Year of the Tight End in fantasy football. Atlanta’s Kyle Pitts has no touchdowns and three games of 25 receiving yards or less. San Francisco’s George Kittle has all of 28 yards thanks to an early injury. Dallas’ Dalton Schultz has 80 yards on the season and has done […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 5: Jared Goff, Ryan Tannehill, Zach Wilson, Kenny Pickett

Week 4 is coming to a close and teams are continuing their struggles on offense. Just 10 teams scored over 25 points in Week 4. A lot of that comes from another underwhelming passing week as teams struggle to navigate a higher volume of two-deep coverages. Just four quarterbacks (Jared Goff, Matt Ryan, Justin Herbert, […]

A month of the NFL season is in the books, but the streamer game at the kicker position in fantasy football will continue all season.

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 5: Zach Wilson, Caleb Huntley, Chuba Hubbard, Skyy Moore, Mack Hollins, Mo Alie-Cox

We're almost a quarter way through the NFL season, but it's never time to stop searching for deep league stashes for short or long-term upside. These fantasy football waiver wire pickup suggestions are geared toward leagues with deep benches or 14-plus teams, so obvious pickups like Mike Boone and Tyler Allgeier won't be featured. Instead, […]

IDP Leagues Waiver Wire - Fantasy Football Pickups (Week 5): Rookie CBs Making A Splash

Through one-quarter of the football season, rookie cornerbacks have been performing exceptionally well.

There are many inspiring and unexpected stories behind the names […]
