James Conner A Low-End RB1 In Wild-Card Game

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner did not finish the season on a high note as he rushed for over 37 yards just once in his final six games.

Ben Roethlisberger A Solid Fantasy Option For Wild-Card Round

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will take on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday night in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Roethlisberger should be fresh after the team rested him during Week 17's loss to Cleveland. The Browns represent a plus matchup for fantasy quarterbacks, as they ranked 25th in pass-defense DVOA and allowed the […]

Browns Defense Not A Strong Fantasy Option

The Cleveland Browns Defense will hit the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. Cleveland's defense was an opportunistic unit during the early portion of the regular season, as they spent much of the first half of the year near the league lead in takeaways, although they […]

Austin Hooper A Solid Fantasy TE For Wild-Card Round

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper finished the regular season on a high note, catching 16 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns over his final three games.

Jarvis Landry A WR2 For Wild-Card Game

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Kareem Hunt An RB2 In Wild-Card Round

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt heads into the playoff mired in a slump as he failed to top 37 rushing yards in five straight games. He will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in the Wild Card game, the first Cleveland playoff appearance since the 2002 season. The Steelers were tough […]

Nick Chubb Draws Tough Playoff Matchup

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb draws a difficult matchup as he gears up to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. Chubb was only lightly used in Week 17 against this same Steelers team, as he saw just 14 carries. There's a chance that Cleveland chose to […]

Baker Mayfield Draws Tough Assignment In Wild-Card Round

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will be under center on Sunday when his team makes their first playoff appearance since the 2002 season. Cleveland will head to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers on Sunday night in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. The Steelers represent a difficult matchup for Mayfield as they finished […]

Jared Goff Says He Feels Good

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) said he felt good after a second straight day of being limited in practice on Thursday. Goff went through routine warm-up drills, completed short and intermediate throws and did red-zone work with his receivers. His grip looked strong and his passes had their usual velocity. Goff said he's […]

Logan Thomas A Viable Fantasy Starter In Matchup With Bucs

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas will look to keep the momentum from a breakout 2020 campaign in Saturday's playoff opener versus Tampa Bay. Thomas shattered his previous career-highs this season finishing with 72 catches for 670 yards and six touchdowns. The big tight end became a crucial part of Washington's offense down the […]

Deshaun Watson Unhappy With Organization

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is extremely unhappy with the organization after owner Cal McNair told him he would be involved in the next general manager and head coach hiring process to provide feedback, but then did neither in their hire of Nick Caserio as the next GM, according to sources. The league's passing leader […]

Saints Defense A Solid Start Against Bears

The New Orleans Saints Defense is a solid start against the Bears for this week's game. The unit compiled 45 sacks, 18 picks, and eight recovered fumbles in 2020 while looking completely dominant at times. The Bears have a rather mediocre offense featuring an error-prone QB in Mitchell Trubisky. As a result, this unit has […]

Jared Cook A Worthy Start Versus Chicago

Despite a lackluster regular season, New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is a worthy start this week against Chicago. Cook ended 2020 by seeing at least four targets and hauling in two touchdowns in the last four games. In the last two games, he also had at least 43 yards. Though his role isn't […]

Emmanuel Sanders A Flex Option Against Bears

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is a flex play in this week's playoff game against the Bears. Sanders finished the regular season strong, getting at least five targets in the last five games and at least 63 yards in three of those five games. Though Michael Thomas may return from an ankle injury […]

Michael Thomas A Solid Play This Weekend

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) is a solid play this week if he plays. The WR missed Weeks 15-17 while on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury that has been bothering him all season. Thomas could only play seven total games in 2020 after he compiled 40 receptions for 438 yards in […]

Alvin Kamara A Strong Play, If Active

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara would be a strong play if active on Sunday. Kamara has been on the COVID-19 list since Week 17 and missed the last game of the regular season. This week, there is a chance he could return and the RB would be a strong play even against a […]

Drew Brees Faces Tough Matchup Against Chicago

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees faces a tough test against a stingy Chicago defense this week. In his three starts since returning from a rib and lung injury, Brees has tossed for at least 200 yards in each game along with having a total of six touchdowns and three picks in that span. Though […]

Buccaneers Defense A Strong Start On Wild-Card Weekend

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is poised for a good game against a banged-up Washington Football Team offense on wild-card weekend. Tampa Bay's unit has recorded the fourth-most sacks this year and the second-highest pressure rate in the NFL. As a team, Washington has thrown the fifth-most interceptions and allowed the second-most sacks. Not only […]

J.D. McKissic A Solid Option On Wild-Card Weekend

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic had a sneaky good season as a passing-down specialist and faces the ideal matchup in the opening round of the playoffs. McKissic led all running backs with 110 targets this season, and his 80 receptions were second to only Alvin Kamara. Tampa Bay's pass-funnel defense plays right into […]

Rob Gronkowski Worth Starting Against Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski has been hit-or-miss in fantasy this year and seems worth fading ahead of a matchup with a tough Washington Football Team defense. However, Gronkowski is just two games removed from scoring a pair of touchdowns against the Lions- and the big tight end could be the primary red-zone […]

Antonio Brown An Upside Flex

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown faces the league's second-ranked pass defense in the Washington Football Team on Saturday. Brown has really started to get going as of late, with 20 catches, 266 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in his last three contests. Brown and Tom Brady appear to be on the same page […]

Chris Godwin A Strong Play In Wild-Card Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is on fire heading into a playoff matchup with the Washington Football Team. Godwin has scored a touchdown in each of his last three games and has at least 80 yards in back-to-back games. While the matchup with the league's second-best pass defense is certainly a tough one, […]

Leonard Fournette Hard To Trust Against Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is tough to trust for fantasy purposes heading into the playoff opener against Washington. Fournette did get a crack at the starting job when Ronald Jones II missed two games, though he failed to exceed four yards per carry, despite scoring three times in the two games. To […]

Ronald Jones II Could Be Relied On In Playoff Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II made his return to the field last week after missing two games due to a finger injury and because of a stint on the COVID-19 list. Jones proved he was healthy enough to play, as he delivered 78 rushing yards and a touchdown in the season finale. He'll […]

Tom Brady Faces Tough Test In Wild-Card Weekend

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady faces a tough test against the Washington Football Team on wild-card weekend. Washington owns the second-ranked pass defense as well as a defensive line that generated 47 sacks in the regular season, the sixth-most in the league. Despite the matchup, Brady is rolling right now and should be considered […]

Jimmy Graham To Face Familiar Foe In Playoffs

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will go up against the team that drafted him, the Saints, this Sunday during wild-card weekend. The veteran has surprised many in the fantasy community this season, posting top-12 numbers at the tight end position with 50 receptions for 456 yards and eight touchdowns. Graham is averaging only 3.5 […]

Can Cole Kmet Be A Difference-Maker Sunday?

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will head into his first postseason game averaging six targets a game over his final five regular season games. The Bears have utilized the rookie in the bootleg passing game and the recent results have been positive. Kmet will go up against a Saints Defense that is allowing the […]

Darnell Mooney Does Not Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Mooney enjoyed his best game as a pro last week, catching a career-high 11 passes for 93 yards but failed to finish the game after injuring the ankle on a big hit. The rookie has emerged as one of the more […]

Jared Goff Questionable For Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Seahawks. Linebacker Micah Kiser (knee) is also questionable. Goff had surgery last week to fix a broken and dislocated right thumb and missed the Week 17 win over the Cardinals. The 26-year-old has been limited in […]

David Montgomery Gets Tough Matchup Against Saints

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will face a tough Saints run defense during wild-card weekend. New Orleans has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, and only one runner has posted over 100 rushing yards against them all season. This is not promising news for the Bears, whose late-season resurgence has been […]
