Julio Jones Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. The Falcons are almost certainly letting Jones rest ahead of the Divisional matchup with the Eagles this weekend. Jones is used to playing through nagging injuries by now, and he put up nine catches for 94 yards and a touchdown last week in the […]

DeMarco Murray Ruled Out Against Patriots

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee), who missed practice again Wednesday, has been ruled out in the Divisional Round this weekend against the Patriots, according to head coach Mike Mularkey. Murray suffered a Grade 3 tear of his MCL in his right knee two weeks ago and hasn't practiced since. Derrick Henry, who had […]

Zach Ertz Always a Solid Choice at Tight End

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a solid fantasy option for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Ertz takes a bit of a hit of course with Carson Wentz (knee) out and the Eagles expected to rely on the running game. Still, he's Zach Ertz and playmakers like him can make things happen […]

Torrey Smith Not an Option in the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith, as he has been all season, will not be a strong fantasy option for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Even when the Eagles offense was clicking on all cylinders with Carson Wentz under center, Smith was a boom-or-bust player who busted almost every time. Now, with Nick […]

Nelson Agholor a Sneaky Play in the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is a sneaky play in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Even though the Eagles offense is expected to run through Jay Ajayi and the running game, Agholor has frequently been quarterback Nick Foles' favorite target. Even with the presence of Alshon Jeffery, Agholor has been the guy […]

Matt Ryan Back At Practice

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who missed practice Tuesday to attend to a personal matter, is back at practice Wednesday. There's nothing to see here. Ryan will be fine for the Divisional matchup against the Eagles this weekend, where he'll be a sleeper DFS play. Although Ryan disappointed overall in 2017 after earning MVP honors […]

Kris Richard Not Expected Back In Seattle

Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard is being given the chance to seek other opportunities and isn't expected to return in 2018. Head coach Pete Carroll thinks Richard would benefit from a fresh start with another team, and Richard recently interviewed for the Colts head coaching position. Seattle's defense took a step back in 2017, […]

Packers Hire Frank Cignetti as Quarterbacks Coach

According to Tom Silverstein, the Green Bay Packers have hired Frank Cignetti to be the new quarterbacks coach. Cignetti was most recently the quarterbacks coach for the Giants and had previously worked with Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy in stints in Pittsburgh and New Orleans. It is unclear how Cignetti will perform in the […]

Alshon Jeffery Not a Great Divisional Round Play

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is not a great play in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Jeffery gave Eagles fans and fantasy owners plenty to be excited about in the second half of the season, really turning it on after a very slow start. Without quarterback Carson Wentz (knee), however, Jeffery is stuck […]

"Zero Chance" Steve Sarkisian Leaves

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said there is "zero chance" that offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian leaves the team to take the same position with the Seattle Seahawks next season, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure. Sarkisian worked for Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll with USC. Seattle recently fired offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who had been […]

Corey Clement Not a Strong Option for the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Corey Clement is not a recommended option for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. Clement flashed plenty of upside this year and gave Eagles fans and dynasty owners plenty to be excited about for the future, but right now he's just not getting enough playing time to be worth […]

LeGarrette Blount a Touchdown-Dependent Option for the Divisional Round

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount is a touchdown-dependent option for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. The Eagles are almost certain to have their offense focus on the running game, but Jay Ajayi is shaping up to be the featured runner on the field. Still, Blount will have his opportunities to mix in […]

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 […]
