Mike Evans and Calvin Johnson Both Have Huge Potential in Week 11

The wide receiver position is always interesting to forecast who will deliver the best performance on any given week. Julio Jones and Antonio Brown are the most consistent sources but just about every other wide receiver can be a hit or miss depending on the schedule. Two specific receivers that are borderline WR1 plays most […]

Charcandrick West and Darren McFadden Poised to Exploit Matchups

Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West has emerged as a great option at running back over the last month. Following the heartbreaking season-ending injury to Jamaal Charles, West has become the starting running back and is giving great fantasy production at the position. West is averaging 21.7 standard fantasy points per game over the […]

Emmanuel Sanders A 'Full Go' For Sunday, Not Practicing With Brock Osweiler This Week

Emmanuel Sanders is listed as questionable but is likely to start Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Gary Kubiak said he expects his wide receiver to be a “full go” despite dealing with an ankle and finger injury, according to The Denver Post. Peyton Manning won’t be starting at quarterback for the Broncos because […]

Sam Bradford Likely Out For Week 12, Eagles QB is Mark Sanchez's Job To Lose

Not only is Sam Bradford not expected to be the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles this week against Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but there’s “no way” he’ll be ready for the Thanksgiving showdown against the Detroit Lions, according to NJ.com. Bradford left last week’s game against the Miami Dolphins early with a shoulder injury as […]

Brock Osweiler or Matt Hasselbeck in an Emergency Role?

My my, the fantasy year it’s been for both Peyton Manning and his successor in Indianapolis, Andrew Luck. Manning has nearly double the amount of interceptions (17) than he does touchdowns (9). Luck has 13 interceptions in a surprisingly average season for the fourth year quarterback. Both have battled through injuries. Now they tag in their replacements. […]

Matt Forte to Share Carries? Odell Beckham Sees Many Targets and Rob Gronkowski Leads League in PI Penalties

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte obviously doesn’t care much about his fantasy football owners. He has told the Chicago Tribune that he is willing to share carries with Jeremy Langford when he’s able to return from his knee injury. "Jeremy has talent," Forte said. "He's done his job like he's supposed to ... I've […]

Allen Robinson, Julius Thomas, Delanie Walker Barely Headline Thursday Night

If you started kickers Jason Myers or Ryan Succop last night, then you had a pretty good start to your fantasy week. If you started nearly anyone else, then you didn’t. That may be a bit dramatic but last night’s contest featured an abundance of field goals and a shortage of touchdowns. The Jacksonville Jaguars […]

Marshawn Lynch Misses Practice, David Cobb Hardly Plays and Brandon Marshall Struggling

If you own Marshawn Lynch in any fantasy football leagues, you will not be happy to hear that he was sidelined on Thursday. Beast Mode is dealing with a abdomen injury that may keep him out of the team’s Week 11 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Lynch is always a RB1 whenever he is […]

Michael Floyd and DeAndre Hopkins Sidelined; Julio Jones to Be Shadowed

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd remained sidelined during Thursday’s practice with a hamstring injury. He is officially listed as questionable on the team’s injury report, but is starting to look more doubtful than anything. The Cardinals have tough matchup on Sunday with or without Floyd because they are up against the Cincinnati Bengals. Luckily […]

Breshad Perriman Has Torn PCL, T.J. Yeldon Expected to Play and Ameer Adullah Update

The Baltimore Ravens have confirmed that rookie wide receiver Breshad Perriman has a partially torn PCL. The injury has landed the receiver on the injured receiver and kept him of action for the entire season. Coming out of UCF, Perriman was said to be a super talented speedster capable of scoring from anywhere on the […]

Aaron Rodgers Listed as Questionable - Davante Adams Quickly Becoming His Number One Target

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was limited at practice Wednesday and is listed as questionable due to a right shoulder injury, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. This is troubling news for Rodgers' owners. Even though the Packers as a team have been struggling to get a "W" in the past few games, Aaron […]

Jeremy Langford is a RB1 Until Matt Forte Returns

When Matt Forte went down with a knee injury in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, rookie running back Jeremy Langford was thought to be the man to step into the starting position. Not only has he filled in nicely to this point, but one can argue that he is actually putting up better numbers […]

Fantasy Stock Up? Eli Manning, LeSean McCoy, Michael Floyd, Gary Barnidge

Eli Manning - QB, New York Giants Manning and the Giants came very close to beating the New England Patriots on Sunday, and even though they lost, Eli Manning gets to go into the bye week on a personal high note. Or at least his fantasy football stock gets to. Manning finished the game with 361 […]

Benching T.Y. Hilton or Calvin Johnson. Should it Happen?

This late in the season, it’s difficult to bench anyone you drafted early, as if this sudden failure will seep into your lineup. Honestly, it’s not about then, but about now. How affective can a player be for you now, regardless of performances in previous weeks? T.Y. Hilton leads the Indianapolis Colts in targets but has […]

Frank Gore No Longer Limited, Amari Cooper to Be Shadowed and Christine Michael Goes Unclaimed

It seems like Indianapolis Colts running back Frank Gore has been around forever. When he was with the San Francisco 49ers he was one of the best running back in all of football for several seasons, but flew under the radar most of the time. Now that he’s 32, it’s clear he’s not as good […]

Blakes Bortles or Marcus Mariota?

Tonight’s Thursday night matchup isn’t exactly DVR-worthy, but it will showcase some of the finest young talent in the NFL. Despite the record of both teams, there are playoff implications attached. The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6) are very much alive in a close but sloppy AFC South race, only a game behind the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts […]

Bills Plan to Shut Down Rob Gronkowski, Darren Sproles Wants More Touches and a Ryan Fitzpatrick Update

When the Buffalo Bills faced the New England Patriots in Week 2, the team said it had a plan to stop freakishly talented tight end Rob Gronkowski. Well, the Bills’ plan didn’t work out so well. Gronk had 113 yards and one touchdown in the win. Fast forward to Week 11 and the team once […]

Can You Trust Brock Osweiler or Mark Sanchez this Week?

As if 2015 hadn't already seen its fair share of injuries, several more players fell victim to injury last Sunday.  Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (foot) and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford (shoulder) will both miss Sunday's games and possibly longer depending on the severity of their injuries.  Both quarterbacks have been struggling heavily this […]

Fantasy Stock Down? Dez Bryant, Darren McFadden & Jimmy Graham

Darren McFadden – RB, Dallas Cowboys Yes, Tampa Bay's defense is actually not as bad as advertised when it comes to the run. Yes, Matt Cassel was under center. But it doesn't excuse a rather poor performance from Dallas' running game. This is an elite offensive line and a running back who has showed great vision and explosiveness since he […]

Make Sure Tony Romo Isn't Available On Your Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add as QB1 in All Leagues OWNED IN: 78% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He's back! Well, at least according to reports, he will be back this Sunday. While Romo (collarbone) hasn't officially been activated off of the injured reserve/designated to return list, the Dallas Cowboys released ineffective backup Brandon Weeden Tuesday afternoon, a move that certainly […]

Thursday Night Matchups Preview: Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson Look to Thrive Against Titans

There's nothing better than starting your fantasy week before you get to Sunday, and if you own Allen Hurns or Allen Robinson, chances are you're likely to do just that this week. The Jacksonville Jaguars are only 3-6 this year, but in the down AFC South that puts them only one game out of first […]

Texans Shut Down Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard, Time to Worry About Bengals?

The Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the most fantasy-relevant teams during the first half of the season. After secretly hoping they would see a decline and miss the playoffs, we were starting to fall for the trap of believing in their 8-0 start to the season. Week 10 saw the Bengals lose all trust […]

Week 10 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The most recent slate of NFL action had a bunch of bizarre developments across the board. In fact, I would go as far as to say that fantasy aside, week ten might have been the most telling week of the year thus far as it pertains to the real life outcomes of the season. That […]

The Fall of a Legend: Peyton Manning

The adage goes that Father Time is undefeated, and on Sunday he claimed another victim. Peyton Manning was simply terrible against the Kansas City Chiefs. The future Hall of Famer threw four interceptions and had absolutely nothing behind his throws. It was so bad that the Broncos turned to backup quarterback Brock Osweiler. After the […]

Kirk Cousins Shows Drew Brees a Thing or Two Out On the Open Field

To the shock of few, before Sunday, Washington Redskins’ quarterback Kirk Cousins had never thrown for more than three touchdowns in a game during his NFL career. Even more shocking, this season, Cousins hadn’t completed a touchdown pass of more than seven yards. Thankfully, his team’s Week 10 matchup against the dreadful pass defense of […]

Peyton Manning Benched for Brock Osweiler After Breaking Record

For the longest time, though he’d never admit it, Peyton Manning has had his sight set on Brett Favre’s career passing yards record. Both he and the country’s leading football analysts have always known it was only a matter of time before the record would be rightfully broken, but nobody could’ve imaged the way in […]

Carson Palmer Becomes Matchup Proof, Jay Cutler Trustworthy?

The quarterback position has led to many fascinating stories in fantasy football this season. Tom Brady has returned to the top of the position. Peyton Manning has become impossible to start. Derek Carr, Tyrod Taylor and Marcus Mariota are progressing. Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan and Ryan Tannehill are regressing. The quarterbacks are all over the […]

Teddy Bridgewater And The Minnesota Vikings Ride Adrian Peterson To Victory

With the way St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley has been performing over the course of the season, there have been rumblings as to whether he has now taken the throne of the top running back in the NFL. Well, yesterday Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson delayed those talks, if only for a […]

What Happens Next for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos Offense?

It isn’t every day that fans see a quarterback break the NFL record for career passing yards, and get benched in the same game. Although not much should surprise fantasy owners anymore this season, as we’ve all witnessed injuries spreading like a rash around the league, except for maybe the consistent play of Peyton Manning.
