Jay Ajayi a Strong Divisional Round Play

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is a strong play for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. With the Eagles forced to start Nick Foles at quarterback after Carson Wentz went down with an ACL injury, it's a near certainty that the NFC's top seed will try to run their offense through the running […]

Nick Foles a Mediocre Starting Option for the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is a middling option at best for this week's Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. The Eagles seem almost certain to run their offense through Jay Ajayi and the running game, so Foles may have limited chances to throw. Foles has been a serviceable backup, but he's struggled in his […]

Green Bay to Hire Mike Pettine to be Defensive Coordinator

As reported by Rob Demovsky, the Green Bay Packers will hire former Cleveland head coach Mike Pettine as its defensive coordinator. Pettine will be taking over the role from the recently fired Dom Capers. Pettine had a short and uninspiring run in Cleveland that was cut short in an arguably unfair manner. Previously, he had […]

Vic Fangio Likely To Remain In Chicago

It looks as though new Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy will keep defensive coordinator Vic Fangio in place for the 2018 season. Fangio was a favorite to jump ship and become the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator, but they are apparently going in another direction. The Bears were an underrated defensive unit in 2017, […]

Chargers Expected To Keep Gus Bradley

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to retain defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, according to sources. This will give continuity to a unit that really excelled in 2017, especially down the stretch. The Chargers have perhaps two of the best pass-rushing linebackers in Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, and they should be a top-five fantasy defensive […]

Panthers Expected To Interview Norv Turner

The Carolina Panthers are expected to interview Norv Turner for their offensive coordinator position, and he is believed to be a top candidate for the position, according to sources. Turner is a good friend of head coach Ron Rivera's from their time coaching together for the San Diego Chargers. Turner has his fair share of […]

John Morton Staying With Jets

New York Jets offensive coordinator John Morton, who was rumored to be a candidate to join head coach Jon Gruden's staff in Oakland, will remain in New York as the offensive coordinator in 2018. Despite the Jets surprising with veteran Josh McCown under center for most of the year, they finished 28th in total offense […]

Ryan Tannehill Expected To Be Ready For Offseason Program

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) has been recovering nicely from major knee surgery last August, and he's expected to be ready for the offseason program at the beginning of April. He has been throwing and walking without a limp. It's good news for Tannehill, who will without a doubt be Miami's starting quarterback in […]

Nick Saban Not Interested In Giants Head Coaching Job

After some speculation earlier in the day, a source has spoken to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post debunking any rumors of Alabama head coach Nick Saban leaving for the NFL. The source stated Saban has no interest in the New York Giants head coaching position, striking that long-shot candidate off the board after […]

Don Martindale Promoted To Defensive Coordinator

The Baltimore Ravens promoted linebackers coach Don "Wink" Martindale to defensive coordinator Tuesday. Martindale has been an assistant coach with the Ravens since 2012, and he was the Broncos defensive coordinator under then head coach Josh McDaniels in 2010. "His aggressive mentality will serve to take our defense to new levels," head coach John Harbaugh […]

Dion Lewis Has Sneaky Tough Matchup Against Titans

New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis heads into the Patriots playoff matchup against the Titans playing the best football of his career. He racked up a career-high 896 rushing yards this season and has scored in each of his last three games. Since taking over the lead running back duties 11 games ago, he […]

Rex Burkhead, James White, Chris Hogan Limited Tuesday

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and James White (ankle) and wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) were all limited in practice Tuesday. All three players are expected to return in the Divisional Round against the Titans this Saturday, which means running back Mike Gillislee (knee), who didn't practice Tuesday, will likely be inactive […]

Brandin Cooks Ready To Step Up In Playoffs

New England Patriots wide receiver Brandin Cooks should be a top option on the outside for quarterback Tom Brady against the Titans on Saturday night. Cooks recorded his third straight 1,000-yard season in his first year with the Patriots and now will face a Titans defense that allowed the 12th most fantasy points to receivers. Speedy […]

Rob Gronkowski Is A Must-Start Against Titans

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will be a top fantasy option this weekend when the Patriots host the Titans. Gronkowski is as healthy as he has been heading into the playoffs in years and finished the season with 69 catches, 1,084 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. He will go up against a Titans […]

Tom Brady Set Up To Thrive Against Titans

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady begins his playoff quest for another title when the Patriots take on the Titans on Saturday night. Brady heads into the playoffs with plenty to prove after a week of off-the-field headlines and two months of a decrease in his production. He has not thrown for over 300 yards […]

Adam Thielen Will Be WR1 This Weekend

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will take on a Saints defense that allowed the 13th most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Thielen began his career season with a bang in Week 1 against the Saints, torching them for nine catches and 157 yards. Thielen would go on to post 1,276 receiving yards […]

Stefon Diggs Has Sleeper Upside Against New Orleans

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs will take on a Saints defense that he burned for 93 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 of the season. A lot has changed since then -- Case Keenum is now the starting quarterback and Diggs has had to work his way back into a rhythm after missing portions […]

Kyle Rudolph Will Be A Touchdown-Dependent Option Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) hopes to be at 100 percent health heading into this weekend's playoff matchup against the Saints. The bye week came at the right time for one of quarterback Case Keenum's favorite red-zone targets, as he tries to work his way through an ankle injury. Rudolph has eight touchdowns this […]

Latavius Murray To Face Tough New Orleans Run Defense

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray will go up against a Saints defense that has not allowed a 100-yard rusher since Week 11. Murray, however, has dominated opponents at home over the past two months and will be counted on to carry the load for the Vikings. Over his last four home games, Murray has […]

Jerick McKinnon Will Need Big Play To Be Fantasy Viable Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon will again take on a complementary role behind Latavius Murray this Sunday against the Saints. McKinnon has seen a slow decrease in touches over the last month but should still see seven to 10 touches in the game. The Saints defense allowed the 17th most fantasy points to running […]

Maliek Collins Undergoes Foot Surgery

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Maliek Collins (foot) underwent foot surgery on his left foot. The foot had reportedly been bothering him all season. The surgery he had performed was similar to a surgery he had on his other foot prior to his rookie season. That time, he was able to rebound without issue, and the […]

Malcolm Mitchell Still Absent From Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) remained out of practice Tuesday, raising the question as to whether he'll be activated off Injured Reserve for the game against the Titans on Saturday. Head coach Bill Belichick didn't sound optimistic about Mitchell's status. Mitchell hasn't played all season, so there is little reason to think […]

Chris Hogan Expected To Return This Weekend

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan (shoulder) is expected to return for the Divisional Round against the Titans. He missed seven of the final eight games of the regular season and had just one catch since Week 8. He will return to being a steady pair of hands for quarterback Tom Brady, but Hogan […]

DeMarco Murray Not Practicing Again On Tuesday

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee) is not practicing Tuesday, and there is a small chance he will play against the Patriots on Saturday. Even if Murray returns after missing the Wild-Card game, it will be Derrick Henry's show in the backfield. Murray's injury may have been a blessing in disguise for the Titans, […]

Case Keenum Has Decent Matchup Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum will take on a Saints defense that allowed the 16th most fantasy points to opposing passers this season. Keenum will have to be at his best against a highly opportunistic New Orleans defense. Including the playoffs, the Saints have been ball hawks lately, racking up nine interceptions over their last […]

Zack Martin Has Surgery on His Elbow

Dallas Cowboys right guard Zack Martin (elbow) had a clean-up procedure done on his right elbow. It will knock him out of the Pro Bowl, but he's fully expected to be ready for the start of the offseason program. Martin was a key part of the Cowboys offensive line and is slated for the same […]

Marcedes Lewis Is Not Fantasy Viable Against Stingy Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis will have a tough matchup against the Steelers on Sunday. The veteran tight end has been a touchdown-dependent option all season and should see slim pickings against a Steelers defense that allowed the third fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Lewis' value is when he is […]

Dede Westbrook Could Lead Jaguars Passing Offense Again

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was a lone bright spot for the Jaguars passing game in their 10-3 playoff win over the Bills last week. He led the team with eight targets and his pedestrian 48 receiving yards also led the way in an anemic vertical passing performance. This week he will take on […]

Marqise Lee Has To Become Difference Maker Against Pittsburgh

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee was held without a catch in his return to the field last week against the Bills. Lee has been sidelined with an ankle injury for the past month and is gutting it out for the Jaguars playoff run. Lee possesses the talent to be a difference maker and the […]

Keelan Cole Will Be Boom Or Bust Against Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole will try and re-establish himself in the playoffs this week against the Steelers. Cole finished up the final stretch of the season as the Jaguars top receiver but was held without a catch last week in the offensively-bereft matchup against the Bills. Cole will be boom or bust against […]
