WR/CB Matchups To Target and Downgrade - Week 5

Welcome to Week 5 of the WR/CB Matchups article. This series used to be called "Matchups to Target and Avoid" but is now titled "Matchups to Target and Downgrade."

Booms and Busts for Week 5 Lineups

The world of fantasy football can be a vicious cycle throughout the long season with mind-numbing performances from players that can leave managers second-guessing roster decisions. That was yet again the case in Week 4 as the trend of under-the-radar players outperforming their rankings continued. Players like Taylor Heinicke, Kenneth Gainwell, and Van Jefferson took […]

Week 5 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As the games concluded on Sunday, I was sure I had a terrible week.

You can't get a third down stop or fourth down stop without seeing some yellow laundry. It's an epidemic. I wrote about this last week and usually don't like to have the same lead two weeks in a row, but it's out of control. The referees don't stop calling holding and pass interference penalties. When […]

Monday Night Football Starts and Sits: Chargers vs Raiders

Week 3’s Monday night matchup turned into a bit of a clunker of a game that had significant fantasy implications for players with Ezekiel Elliott and Jalen Hurts. Dallas handled Philadelphia for a majority of the game and had the result in hand well before the final whistle. Thankfully, we have another shot at a […]
