Will Doug Martin Snap Back To Reality in Week 5?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran running back Doug Martin rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown last week against the Carolina Panthers. Don't hold your breath for another performance like that this week.

Charles Clay Remains a Strong Tight End Play in Week 5

There haven't been many more tight ends who have enjoyed the success that Charles Clay has this season, and there's no reason to think he should slow down this week.

Matt Ryan in For a Big Game Against Redskins

The Atlanta Falcons are 4-0, and their offense strongly resembles the Falcons' offenses we were used to seeing when they first drafted Julio Jones.

Sell On Calvin Johnson This Week

Calvin Johnson is a once-in-a-generation receiver, and he's aimlessly wasting his career by playing for the Detroit Lions. It's a shame, really. Johnson was once an unguardable receiver who made defensive backs look foolish when he'd put his big body in place to snag would-be interceptions. Unfortunately for Megatron and fantasy owners who thought he'd […]

Blake Bortles Due for Solid Outing Against Bucs

Usually, anybody who suggests starting a Jacksonville Jaguar in fantasy football should be considered borderline insane, but quarterback Blake Bortles might be the one exception to that rule.

Peyton Manning Set to Thrive in Week 5

Manning was indestructible during his first three seasons in Denver, but is Father Time finally starting to catch up with him? Manning isn't putting up abysmal numbers, but he isn't putting up the sort of numbers that justify drafting him so high.

Dorial Green-Beckham Involvement In Titans Offense To Increase

Rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham will be expected to play “more and more” according to Tennessee Titans general manager Ruston Webster.
