What's Wrong with Jordan Reed?

Rule 86: If Jordan Reed is in Washington's lineup, he should be in yours. This was the rule to live by when it came to Jordan Reed throughout his career. One of the NFL's most dynamic playmakers, Reed struggled to stay on the field but shined when he was on it. Reed led all tight ends […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 10

Fantasy footballers are going to have to live without some things this upcoming week. Fantasy football owners will not get a 100-yard receiving game out of Minnesota’s Adam Thielen, a touchdown toss from Houston’s Deshaun Watson, or a sack out courtesy of Denver’s Von Miller this week. That is because those fantasy superstars’ teams are […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

Duke Johnson Is Fantasy-Relevant Once Again

I was facing a dilemma in one of my fantasy leagues last week with Patriots rookie Sony Michel (knee) questionable to play in the Sunday night game. Should I risk rolling with him and then possibly having to pick up Cordarrelle Patterson or Jamaal Williams at the last minute if Michel was inactive? My other […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10

If you had told me San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens would throw for over 250 yards and three touchdowns in his first taste of NFL action, I would have called you crazy. Yet here we are, scratching our heads about how the Oakland Raiders only managed to generate 242 yards of total offense in […]

Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As the season rolls on, the kicker position is always a tough one to gauge. There are so few players locked in as starters that you sometimes have to hope you get lucky.

Week 9 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

As bad as the Tennessee Titans (3-4) have been, they're currently second in the AFC South - sitting just one loss behind the division-leading Houston Texans.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 9

We're officially halfway through the NFL season, with several teams already having their bye weeks behind them. Nevertheless, injuries have begun to rack up.

It's time to forget what you thought you knew. Halfway through the year, NFL teams now have a good idea whether they are contenders or simply playing for next year's draft picks.

Week 9 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

It is a really tough week with six teams on a bye. Fantasy rosters will be stretched and owners will be desperately looking for options who can give them solid production. It may not be the most amazing upside in the world but when every team is hurting a solid six or seven points from […]

Week 9 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Last week I joked in this space about how the NFL doesn't make deadline deals, a statement that ended up being very wrong. All kinds of things ended up happening on Tuesday. Do any of those things have a major bearing on this week of action? Any new names hurtling towards a bust, or just […]

Inside the Tent - Week 9 NFL Injury Insight

Week 8 really didn't have a great number of significant injuries which is always great news! The most noteworthy injury was obviously the crazy-talented Will Fuller who tore his ACL on Thursday Night Football.

Quarterbacks to Own for the Playoff Stretch

Before the season started, I gave readers a list of quarterbacks who could be drafted based on their fantasy playoff matchups. These picks were obviously based on the stats of the defenses from 2017, as games had not yet been played. Now that the season is half over, I decided it was time to go […]

Is Mitch Trubisky a Legitimate Fantasy Starter?

Raise your hand if you were looking forward to owning Chicago Bears' second-year quarterback Mitch Trubisky in fantasy in 2018. If you dropped your mouse to raise your hand, first of all, I can't see you and second of all, you're probably lying. Some owners probably still wouldn't care to own Trubisky at the season's […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 9

It is going to take a little longer than usual to fill out a fantasy football lineup this week. Unfortunately for fantasy football players, a half-dozen NFL teams are on bye this week. Fantasy footballers will not be able to plug Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz, New York’s Odell Beckham and Saquon Barkley, Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck, Arizona’s […]

Is Tyler Boyd the WR to Own in Cincinnati?

Tyler Boyd is starting to prove that the Cincinnati Bengals did not make a mistake making him the sixth wide receiver selected in the 2016 draft. Boyd's potential was first brought to the attention of Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis by his father, Marvin Lewis Sr., back in 2012 when Boyd was still in high […]

Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 featured several high-scoring matchups, but there were far more touchdowns scored than field goals. As teams get better, defenses should start holding teams to kicking more field goals, which is good for kickers in fantasy. When looking at the matchups for this week, there are quite a few games that figure to be […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 9

Deshaun Watson is BACK! Although the Houston Texans quarterback didn't exactly accomplish much on the ground, Watson managed to throw for five touchdowns in what was easily the highest number of passing scores he has had in a game this season. Unfortunately, the Texans didn't escape the game unscathed, as wide receiver Will Fuller tore […]

Week 8 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

Man, I was hoping this would be the season where someone would knock the (5-2) New England Patriots off the AFC East throne... It's not. They're on their way to their 10th-straight division title and when they defeat the (2-5) Buffalo Bills on Monday night, it'll be nothing more than an assertion of continued dominance […]
