WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 3

Welcome to Week 3 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. As the year goes on, the PPGA metric will become more and more predictive. Results from a small sample like one or two weeks usually tell more about how talented a CB's opponent was rather than the difficulty of the matchup going forward. It is not […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 3: Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins, Garrett Wilson

Last week was a big week for the Wide Receiver Matchups series, as there were quite a few hits. Greg Dortch had four receptions, 55 yards, and one touchdown against the Raiders.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

Comeback Sunday. The Jets, Dolphins, and Cardinals pulling off improbable wins. Other games going down to the wire. Through two weeks, 12 games have been decided by three or fewer, a record. As for survivor, both Ohio teams, the Browns and Bengals, knocked out about 20 percent of the entrants. About 75 percent of entrants […]

Week 3 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We're into Week 3 of the NFL season, and we're starting to see some defensive units stand out among the pack. However, it's still too early to fully give ourselves over to the data we're collecting for some of these teams. Are the Jaguars really this good? Are the Colts really this bad? Only time […]

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 3 Lineups: Dameon Pierce, Aaron Rodgers, Michael Thomas, Tyler Lockett

In fantasy football, Week 2 became a case of the haves and the have-nots. Around the league, several jaw-dropping performances set up many managers for easy victories. Of course, Lamar Jackson and Tua Tagovailoa saw much of the press in an impressive back-and-forth quarterback battle from Sunday. But the play from guys like Amon-Ra St. […]

Quarterback Starts/Sits for Week 3 - QB vs. Pass Rush Matchups for Lineup Decisions

Week 3 is here and, as per usual, the NFL remains as unpredictable as ever. Through two weeks, there are a whopping six teams that are 2-0 with a whole lot of 1-1 teams that have won or lost games they shouldn't have. We're still trying to figure out what to make of some of […]

Week 3 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

As always, we will use this column to address players who can hopefully help people in any number of IDP formats. We traditionally do this by addressing players worth adding for the rest of the season and just this week. However, we will also use some columns to address offensive and defensive units that are […]

Steelers vs Browns Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Najee Harris, Diontae Johnson, Pat Freiermuth, David Njoku, Chase Claypool, George Pickens

The debuts of both Brownie the Elf and Acrisure Stadium were ones to forget. The Steelers, once again, lost a low-scoring match to the Patriots. While the Browns had one of the worst coaching decisions of the season and found a way to lose to the Jets despite leading 30-17 with 1:55 remaining. Unfortunately, the […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We're through two weeks of the NFL season, but we'll never get to a place where we can ignore the streamer game at the kicker position in fantasy football. Even though we have two games of data for each team, kicker projections are very elastic week-to-week, so it's time to forget everything we've seen so […]

Monday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Dawson Knox, Adam Thielen, Miles Sanders, Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, Kenneth Gainwell

Welcome to Week 2 and our Monday Night Football matchups analysis! It's already been an exciting Week 2 of NFL and fantasy football action, and we get two more games on Monday night to finish it off with a double-header.

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 2

Week 1 is in the books, and fantasy managers are adjusting their strategies after the first game. The Week 2 version of the WR/CB Matchup Chart has the added "PPGA" (Points Per Game Against) column with the Week 1 point assigned to each matchup. The process for assigning points to a specific matchup has to […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 2: Greg Dortch, Terry McLaurin, Christian Kirk, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Christian Kirk, Tyreek Hill

Week 1 made some things come to light as we got some clarity on some murky situations. Unfortunately, many of our WR targets for DFS last week were victims of this. Robert Woods finished the game with one reception for 13 yards, as the Titans used the rookie receivers much more than him. Brandon Aiyuk […]

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 2 Lineups

Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season has come and gone. With it comes a little more clarity when it comes to player evaluation. Some players saw usage a little higher than anticipated and others were a bit of a disappointment as well. Heading into the week, the assumption was that the Rams backfield would […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets and Avoids

Mayhem in Week 1. About 60 percent of many survivor pools were eliminated thanks to losses by the 49ers, Bengals, Titans, Broncos and a tie from the Colts. Imagine the damage if the Saints didn't score 17 points in the final 11 minutes including a 51-yard field goal with 19 seconds left. This carnage isn't […]

Quarterback Starts/Sits for Week 2 - QB vs. Pass Rush Matchups for Lineup Decisions

Week 2 is here, and the NFL season is finally underway. Through one week, the Seattle Seahawks are atop the NFC West, and the AFC South went winless in Week 1 despite two of the teams playing each other. The NFL really is back when these are real storylines and not made up.  Due to […]

Week 2 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

Week 1 was incredibly inconsistent for fantasy managers and analysts alike. One of our favorite boom prospects (Kyle Hamilton) barely saw the field, and one of our busts (Tremaine Edmunds) barely hit the over on our bet against him registering double-digit tackles, though he did fail to produce a big play as we anticipated. Luckily, […]

Chargers vs Chiefs Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Mike Williams, Juju Smith-Schuster, Austin Ekeler, Josh Palmer, Isiah Pacheco, Gerald Everett

Welcome to Week 2! Last week, we went 2-0 with our picks against the spread and on the over/under. Let’s not slow down as we head into arguably the best matchup of the week for fantasy football fans. After shaking off the remaining ghosts from last season, Justin Herbert and company head over to Arrowhead. […]

Week 2 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 is in the rearview mirror, and just like every other position in fantasy football, we can't overreact to guys who had huge spike weeks in their season openers. We also can't get too low on guys who laid an egg. The kicker position is arguably one of the toughest positions to predict in […]
