Julius Thomas Has an Excuse for Poor Play and Allen Hurns in Doubt for Week 10

Most people knew tight end Julius Thomas wouldn’t put up as great of numbers with the Jacksonville Jaguars as he did with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.

Latavius Murray Still Not Cleared to Play and Matt Cassel to Get Another Start for Cowboys

Due to the importance of running backs in fantasy football, you would think it’d be near impossible for one to fly under the radar. However, Oakland Raiders’ Latavius Murray has done just that. You rarely hear any of the big-named sports media outlets name Murray alongside some of the best backs in the league, but […]

DeAngelo Williams and Vincent Jackson Not Practicing

When Le’Veon Bell was ruled out for the rest of the season, DeAngelo Williams owners jumped for joy. As soon as Bell went out, Williams became an every week RB1 regardless of matchup.

With Dion Lewis Out for Season, LeGarrette Blount and James White Become Rosterable

There is outstanding fantasy value for any starting position player on the New England Patriots.

Dion Lewis was serving as a consistent source of production at running back […]

Cowboys Lose In Spite of Stellar Play By Matt Cassel and Dez Bryant

Since Tony Romo left the Dallas Cowboy’s Week 2 matchup early against the Philadelphia Eagles with a broken clavicle, his team has struggled to find any sort of offensive rhythm.

Ryan Matthews and DeMarco Murray Aggressive In Eagles’ Overtime Victory

Let’s face it - at this point, the NFC East is a complete and total mess. For this reason, America couldn’t wait to tune in to watch two of the division’s most popular clubs - the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys - do battle out on the field. At the bottom of the division, the […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Eric Decker And Co. Lead The Jets To Victory

Questions swirled last week after Ryan Fitzpatrick sustained ligament damage in his left, non-throwing hand in the Jets 20-34 loss against the Raiders, about whether or not he would be able to go in Sunday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Well, not only did Fitzpatrick play on Sunday, but he played well in the Jets […]

LeGarrette Blount, Brandon Lafell Help Tom Brady Remain Undefeated

The Patriots are undoubtedly the most mercurial team in the NFL. Despite the fact that the result at the end of the game is almost always a win, the way they get those wins vary from week to week. One week, the Patriots abandon the run, the next week, they employ a run-heavy strategy, and […]

Are The Cheeseheads Curdling? Eddie Lacy, James Jones, Randall Cobb & More

After starting 6-0, the Packers have lost two games in a row and their season is now very much in question.

Peyton Manning and Eli Manning: Evaluating the Brothers From Here on Out

Peyton and Eli Manning are the most successful brothers in the history of the NFL, but at this stage of their respective careers, they are heading in separate directions.

Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley Provide Top-Tier Fantasy Value In Cowboys’ Week 9 Loss

Needless to say, the Dallas Cowboys have struggled to generate much of an offense under quarterback Matt Cassel.

Sure, the running game was better. Yes, […]

Antonio Brown Has A Record Setting Performance, Roethlisberger Hurt Again

As all of Antonio Brown's owners know, his performance is directly linked to the presence of Ben Roethlisberger. When Roethlisberger is at the helm, Brown is essentially guaranteed to give you a solid, if not extraordinary performance. Without Roethlisberger though, Brown's production dips significantly. With that being said, at the conclusion of Sunday's game between […]

Darren McFadden and DeMarco Murray Post Triple-Digits on Sunday Night

The Week 9 fixture between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles was thought to be a battle between the lame and downtrodden. Both teams were entering the game with poor quarterback play and losing records, and the end result was truly anybody’s best guess. Though the Eagles would ultimately outlast the Cowboys in an overtime victory, […]

LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams Ground and Pound the Bills to Victory

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan has been known to have an affinity for the "ground and pound" style--a style that is predicated around having a strong running game and strong defense. Though many believe that the days of needing a strong running game to win in the NFL are over (see: Patriots, New England), it […]

Reuben Randle, Ronnie Hillman & Brandon Marshall All Expected to Play

According to Ian Rapaport, Giants wide receiver Reuben Randle is playing today despite his injured hamstring. With Randle in the lineup quarterback Eli Manning should get a boost, and it should help keep some of the attention away from Odell Beckham Jr. Rain is expected in the Tampa Bay area this afternoon, so even though it […]

Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr. Look To Stay Hot Against Tampa Bay

Eli Manning had a career game last week against the New Orleans Saints, throwing for 350 yards and six touchdowns in the loss. While Manning has been inconsistent all season, look for him to stay hot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight. While I'm sure no one is expecting six touchdowns again, only two teams have […]

T.Y. Hilton & Austin Seferian-Jenkins Unlikely to Play, Sammy Watkins & DeSean Jackson Both Active

According to Ian Rapaport, Colts wide receiver TY Hilton is a long shot to play today against the Denver Broncos. Hilton did not practice all week, but he will test his sprained foot pregame before officially being ruled out. With Hilton out or limited, Andrew Luck is a sit for me in seasonal leagues against […]

Ben Roethlisberger, DeAngelo Williams Look To Scorch Raiders

Just when it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers could finally play with all of their starters healthy for once, Le'Veon Bell suffered a season-ending injury last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. That opened the door for veteran running back DeAngelo Williams to take over as the lead back. Williams started the first two games of the season […]

Toss-Up: Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown as the Browns’ Week 10 Starter

No, this isn’t an episode of ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” or anything, but the decision as to whether Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown will make the start for the Cleveland Browns come Week 10 is currently a hot topic—nothing short of a bonafide “toss-up,” to be honest. On Friday, Browns’ coach Mike Pettine stated that […]

Colin Kaepernick Unhappy With Blaine Gabbert’s New Starting Role

Apparently, no NFL quarterback is safe from a sudden downfall. What started as a personal, on-field tragedy for Robert Griffin III has now managed to impact proven quarterbacks like Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick. Of the three quarterbacks in question, Kaepernick’s case is most interesting. Almost three short years ago, the young quarterback out of […]
