John Brown (WR, ARI) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

The preseason hype machine hasn't exactly blown up as people would have liked, but that is no fault of Brown's. The Arizona receiver has been a playmaker for the Cardinals so far, catching Carson Palmer's eye to become second on the team in targets. Some of his big plays have been pass interference calls that led […]

Sammy Watkins (WR, BUF) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

The first receiver taken in last year's stacked NFL Draft class has had a rough start to his 2015 campaign.  He was shutout against Vontae Davis and the Colts in Week 1 and salvaged Week 2's contest against the Patriots with a late 24-yard touchdown. Luckily for Watkins, he will go from facing teams coached […]

Gavin Escobar (TE, DAL) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers

If you managed to stomach watching the dumpster fire that was the Eagles-Cowboys afternoon game last week, you may have seen Gavin Escobar nearly score a touchdown twice. One time he caught a crosser and then his shin was down just before the goal line, after this he was targeted on the patented Dez Bryant […]

Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers

You might think I'm being lazy, but I'm going back to this guy and this might read very similarly to my Week 1 write-up. Jared Cook is still the team leader in receptions and yards. While I thought a matchup with the Redskins would grant him great chances to put a serviceable line, he wasn't […]

Ted Ginn (WR, CAR) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers

Seeing "NO" (New Orleans) as the opponent should scream "YES" to you. Don't get me wrong, if it was that lovely of a play it probably wouldn't be in this article, but Ted Ginn Jr. represents a true dice roll GPP play. If Cam Newton finds him on a deep strike, you're sitting pretty. Ginn Jr. […]

Allen Hurns (WR, JAC) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers

People are going to be (appropriately) all over Allen Robinson, so you might be able to swerve the pack by taking a shot with Hurns in a game that should see Jacksonville needing to throw the ball early and often. The strange thing is that the Patriots defense has actually been pretty darn bad, although […]

Chris Polk (RB, HOU) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers

Arian Foster is still out, and Jonathan Grimes is a game-time decision. While Alfred Blue predictably failed to make any real mark, Chris Polk might just be in prime position to have himself a great day at the hands of Tampa Bay's struggling defense. While many people who "pay down" for running back are going […]

Melvin Gordon (RB, SD) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers

Even if owners are drawn to the Chargers matchup against a Vikings defense that has been destroyed on the ground, they're much more likely to take the cheaper buzzier option in Danny Woodhead. While there's merit to picking Woodhead over Gordon when there's a $600 difference, we're looking to zig where other's are zagging. There's […]

Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Week 3 Deeper Lineup Sleepers

I don't enjoy writing that name next to the Rams offense, but the truth of the matter is that Foles and company get to face the crummy Steelers' defense. This game is going to go one of two ways. Either the Steelers jump out to an early lead on the heels of a strong passing […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 3 Deeper Lineup Sleepers

Jameis turned in a good performance last week against whatever excuse for a defense the Saints roll out onto the field these days. It was on the road as well, which is always nice to see from a rookie regardless of opponent. We know Tampa Bay has their obvious issues. Winston is finally getting Mike […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

Among the biggest surprises thus far in 2015, Lewis is in the top-5 of fantasy RBs and has emerged as a legitimate force in the Patriots backfield. That may not last forever, though. Lewis saw his carries drop from 15 in Week 1 to only seven in Week 2. Although he managed enough elsewhere to […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

Fitzgerald is a completely different WR when Carson Palmer is under center, and the star receiver’s trio of TD’s last Sunday can attest to that. He’s currently the fourth highest scoring WR in fantasy, and it certainly seems as if we are seeing the Fitzgerald of old this year, but expectations may be a bit […]

Peyton Manning (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs

Manning was on my sell high list last week, and despite a strong showing against the Chiefs he remains here. The success of the Broncos’ passing game on Thursday largely falls on the receivers and not the QB. Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders kept the offense afloat all on their own, and even managed to effectively […]

Dez Bryant (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows

In a downright shot to the heart for his owners, Bryant went down in Week 1 with a broken bone in his foot that will likely cost him most of the season. Despite that injury, and despite the fact that we won’t see Bryant until around Thanksgiving, the star Dallas WR is actually a solid […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows

If you glanced at the box score after the Buccaneers’ tilt with the Saints on Sunday, you likely figured Evans had sat out another week to rest his ailing hamstring. He didn’t. Evans played on two-thirds of snaps in his 2015 debut on Sunday, yet saw only a few targets and failed to reel in […]

Week 3 Wide Receiver Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Wide receivers are one of the most critical components, and a core building block, for all fantasy football teams. This is especially true in PPR formats, where fantasy owners are rewarded for every catch that a wide receiver makes. We are here to help you plan your wide receiver draft strategy, and to target the […]

The Effect Of Tony Romo's Injury (Joseph Randle, Jason Witten & Brandon Weeden)

One broken right foot. One broken left clavicle. One broken offense for fantasy owners to, by and large, avoid. The injuries suffered in consecutive weeks by wide receiver Dez Bryant and quarterback Tony Romo have all but drained the fantasy productivity expected from Dallas. Two words on Romo's replacement Brandon Weeden: stay away. Do not take a […]

NFL Survivor League Picks: Top Targets & Avoids for Survivor Pools (Week 2)

Week 1 of the NFL saw the favorites win nine of 13 contests. I correctly picked the Jets and Cardinals to win, but unfortunately the Bucs were hammered. I wrote to avoid the Cowboys - who won solely due to the terrible clock management of the Giants - and correctly predicted an upset of the Colts by the […]

From 40 Seconds to Eternity: New York Giants Crap the Bed in Season Opener

We all have that one friend - that one obnoxious mofo who quotes stats in the form of insults and contentiously trolls haters on Twitter who throw shade at their precious team. We’re friends with him, but we seriously hate that guy to his very core and silently wish swamp flesh eating parasites get a hold […]
