WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 13

Welcome to Week 13 of the WR/CB Matchup chart.

Booms and Busts: Week 13 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds Including Jimmy Garoppolo, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Jefferson, Tee Higgins, Aaron Jones, Saquon Barkley

Week 12 was the ultimate boom-or-bust week. This is partly because Josh Jacobs had a historical day, totaling over 300 yards and two scores. However, we also had booms such as Zay Jones, JaMycal Hasty, and Jelani Woods. And yes, CeeDee Lamb also had a great week, a player that I foolishly claimed to be […]

Week 13 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We had another solid week, with six of the top 10 defenses again and all of the top 10 defenses were ranked inside my top 15. The biggest issue was that we whiffed on Dallas and Philadelphia, which were both inside my top five and both finished outside of the top ten. I still believe […]

Week 13 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

There are just two teams on a bye in Week 13, so fantasy managers with high-end stud kickers can rest easy this week. That said, even kickers have dealt with injury issues this season, so it's always a good idea to know the pecking order of the position that doesn't get much love. Our Week […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 13) - Targets and Avoids

Just when the public thinks they've figured it out, they get crushed. DraftKings released its top-five most-bet teams Sunday: the Ravens -3.5 (80%), Chargers -3 (77%), Broncos -1 (71%), Seahawks -4 (70%), and Bucs -3.5 (70%). The only team that won was the Chargers, but they didn't even cover. This is the time of year […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 12) - Targets and Avoids

Recency bias. The Eagles, who were the most dominant team in football through nine weeks, lost at home to a division rival and then squeaked by the Colts.

We had a pretty solid week, getting six of the top 10, including four of the top five. However, we missed by not having Atlanta, Detroit, and Carolina, and Buffalo was trending as a top-10 defense until two garbage-time touchdowns after building a 28-10 lead. Those are the things you can't account always account for, […]

There are just a few precious things that we must remember on this eve of Thanksgiving. None of them are about family, friends, or being thankful.

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 11

Welcome to Week 11 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. As the year goes on, the PPGA metric will become more and more predictive. Another important data point to be aware of is the injury report.

Week 11 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Quite a weird week for fantasy DSTs when you see Detroit and Carolina in the top ten plus Minnesota and Washington, who played Buffalo and Philadelphia, respectively.
