Fantasy Stock Up: Tim Hightower, C.J. Spiller

The New Orleans Saints placed starting running back Mark Ingram on the season-ending injured reserve list Wednesday, adding more pain to an already painful 2015 campaign. The show must always go on in fantasy, though, as two Saints running backs now move up on the depth chart; C.J. Spiller and Tim Hightower. But is it […]

Week 14 Booms: Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has put up some decent passing numbers in the past two games, totaling 618 yards and three touchdowns. What is slightly startling is the fact that he has thrown more interceptions (four) in these games than he has found the end zone. However, it is worth noting that the New […]

Fantasy Stock Up; David Johnson, Thomas Rawls

Sometimes in sports it takes the injury of one player to pave the way for the opportunity of the next player to shine. Rookie running backs David Johnson and Thomas Rawls are taking full advantage of injuries to their teams' respective starting running backs and will continue to dominate in their new roles. David Johnson […]

Fantasy Outlook: Carson Palmer, John Brown, Larry Fitzgerald

Steamrolling into Thursday night on a six game winning streak, the Arizona Cardinals look to make it seven against a tough Minnesota Vikings team. The Cardinals certainly have more viable fantasy options than the Vikings, so let's break it down. Carson Palmer's touchdown to interception ratio is incredible, 29 to 9. The veteran has thrown at […]

Fantasy Outlook: Teddy Bridgewater, Adrian Peterson, Stefon Diggs

The Minnesota Vikings enter Thursday night's showdown against the Arizona Cardinals tied for first place in the NFC North. The Vikings are looking to win their first division title since 2009 but do they have enough weapons, on the field and in fantasy lineups, to sustain production? Teddy Bridgewater is not start-able. Let's not beat around […]

Fantasy Outlook: Mark Ingram, Phillip Dorsett and Ty Montgomery

Although none of the players mentioned in the headline are of any significance for the remainder of the 2015 fantasy football season, all three are worth holding onto in keeper and/or dynasty leagues. Let’s start with Mark Ingram, who was having a fantastic season with the New Orleans Saints until he was placed on injured […]

Lineup Booms: Eric Decker, Jacob Tamme and Eddie Royal

One wide receiver that has helped several teams reach the fantasy football playoffs this season is New York Jets’ Eric Decker. Although he hasn’t been flashy, or featured in many SportsCenter highlights, Decker has had a fantastic season. In 11 games he has hauled in 59 passes for 801 yards and eight touchdowns. Not only […]

Fantasy Fallers: Mark Ingram, Martellus Bennett and Larry Donnell

If you drafted one of the players mentioned in the headline of this story, chances are you relied on him in your starting lineup at some point this season. Unfortunately, all three guys are now on injured reserve and can be dropped from redraft leagues. On Wednesday afternoon the New Orleans Saints officially placed running […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Allen Hurns, Willie Snead and Vincent Jackson

It looks like Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns will be back in action in time to help lead all of his fantasy football owners to their championship. Hurns missed last week due to a concussion, but he practiced in full on Wednesday and should be good to go. With the Jaguars set to go […]

Fantasy Fallers: Mark Ingram, Martellus Bennett and Larry Donnell

If you drafted one of the players mentioned in the headline of this story, chances are you relied on him in your starting lineup at some point this season. Unfortunately, all three guys are now on injured reserve and can be dropped from redraft leagues. On Wednesday afternoon the New Orleans Saints officially placed running […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Ronnie Hillman, Andre Ellington and Matt Schaub

With C.J. Anderson dealing with an ankle injury, Week 14 against the Oakland Raiders could have been Ronnie Hillman’s chance to shine as the Denver Broncos main running back. Unfortunately, Hillman is dealing with an injury of his own which caused him to miss practice on Wednesday. Hillman is dealing with a foot injury, which […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Kendall Wright, Stevie Johnson and Vernon Davis

For fantasy football owners, this is definitely not the time of year you want to be hearing about a player missing practice due to injury. Unfortunately the injury bug doesn’t really care if your team has a chance to make a championship run or not. Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kendall Wright is just one of […]

Fantasy Busts: Adrian Peterson, Ryan Tannehill, Todd Gurley

The worst feeling for a fantasy owner is playing someone you expected to have a big day for you, end up posting a dud of a performance. Here are some of the biggest fantasy busts for this week. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is without a doubt one of the best running backs in […]

QB Fantasy Stock Up: Blake Bortles, Cam Newton, Tyrod Taylor

This week featured a couple of huge performances from the quarterback position, and one solid performance from a quarterback who hasn’t thrown a pick since the beginning of October. Cam Newton helped lead the Panthers to victory over the New Orleans Saints, continuing their undefeated season with a five touchdown, 331 yard, and one interception […]

Fantasy Risers: Tyrod Taylor and Javorius Allen Increase In Value

Each week in fantasy football, there are a handful of players who show their true colors and distance themselves from the rest of the league. They might not be the biggest of names, but there’s still real fantasy value there and an opportunity for invaluable points to be brought in later on in the fantasy […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett

Clearly, at the start of the season, the Seattle Seahawks were in complete and total disarray. Sure, Kam Chancellor’s holdout and some tough opponents might have had something to do with it, but there’s no denying the fact that the Seahawks didn’t appear to be living up to their full potential on the field. Well, […]

Fantasy Fallers: Philip Rivers and Todd Gurley Fail to Meet Expectations

The reality of the NFL is that good players, sooner or later, are going to fall on hard times. From Tom Brady and Peyton Manning to Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch, nobody is exempt from the sporadic, on-field tragedy. Now, your job as a fantasy football fanatic is to successfully identify these downward trends before […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Julio Jones Struggles as Jeremy Maclin Excels

The life of a wide receiver in the NFL can be an interesting one. Why? Well, think about it—as a wideout, you’re not entirely responsible for your success while out on the field. If the ball’s being thrown your way, you’re then eligible for dominance or complete and total failure. When it isn’t, either you’re […]

Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, And DeAngelo Williams Put On An Offensive Showcase In Week 13

In the past, the Pittsburgh Steelers had been known as a tough, defensive football team that pounded the ball on the ground and used the passing game sparingly on their way to victories. Ever since Big Ben came into the fold though, the Steelers' identity has changed into that of a high-powered offense that will […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Giovani Bernard, Philip Rivers, Charcandrick West

Fantasy football is a lot like the stock market. One minute, players in your lineup are on fire with stellar production, the next, they're either hurt or just not producing. Here are some of the players whose fantasy stock has taken a hit this past week. Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard had a forgettable […]

Tight End Outlook: Delanie Walker, Greg Olsen and Julius Thomas

With the exception of a select few tight ends, it's hard to find another who's enjoyed the type of success Delanie Walker has this season. Playing for a team with a terrible offense always makes things more difficult to succeed, but Walker has stood out in Tennessee. Quarterback Marcus Mariota has thrown the ball to […]

Adrian Peterson and Thomas Rawls Poised for Big Games

Today's game featuring the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings will be a clash of tough NFC defenses and solid run games. Both teams are coming off of big wins last week as the Seahawks beat the Steelers and the Vikings beat the Falcons. This game means a lot for both teams, as the Vikings fight […]

Will Jeremy Hill Outplay Giovanni Bernard Today?

The Cincinnati Bengals travel to Cleveland on Sunday for a matchup of two bitter division rivals. The Bengals are coming off of a nice win against the St. Louis Rams while the Cleveland Browns are still trying to recover from that heartbreaker against the Baltimore Ravens. One thing that fantasy owners will likely have their […]

Running Back Outlook: Thomas Rawls, Doug Martin and DeAngelo Williams

Thomas Rawls has been more than advertised when filling in for Marshawn Lynch this season. Rawls has amassed double-digit fantasy points in all of his four starts this season, including that monster performance against San Francisco in Week 11 where he finished with 255 total yards and two touchdowns for 37.5 fantasy points. He fell […]

Quarterback Outlooks: Cam Newton and Drew Brees

With the exception of Tom Brady against the Philadelphia Eagles, no quarterback has a finer matchup than Cam Newton against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are awful, and there's no other way to word it. They will undoubtedly blow up the entire defense at season's end, but until that day, let's take a look […]

Fantasy Fallers: Kirk Cousins and Tyrod Taylor

The game plan of streaming quarterbacks from week-to-week can lead to great success with the correct research but it can also be the reason for fantasy heartbreak. It is one thing to lose knowing you had Tom Brady or Cam Newton at the quarterback position. Bad games happen. That’s the nature of sports. You can’t […]

Week 13 Booms: Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffery and Brandon LaFell

As the fantasy football regular season comes to a close, a solid performance is as critical now as it's ever been during any part of the season. Let's take a look at three wide receivers who are poised to have big games on Sunday. The Atlanta Falcons' season is crumbling before our very eyes, but […]

Austin Seferian Jenkins, Michael Floyd and Danny Amendola in, Tyler Eifert out

According to Adam Schefter, Buccaneers tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins is expected to play after missing the last nine games with a shoulder injury. With Seferian-Jenkins back in the lineup, Cameron Brate can be relegated back to the waiver wire. Seferian-Jenkins may be a tough play in fantasy leagues as it is unclear how much he […]

Fantasy Risers: Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson, Julius Thomas To Preform Big In Absence Of Allen Hurns?

The Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Tennessee Titans this afternoon without their second best wide receiver Allen Hurns. After having a stretcher take him off the field last week, Hurns was officially ruled out this week with a concussion. Blake Bortles will look to get Julius Thomas more involved like he was last week, catching […]
