Week 16 Lineup Studs? Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyrod Taylor, Alex Smith

Ryan Fitzpatrick has quietly been one of the most consistent quarterbacks in fantasy football this season. Though he was originally brought in as more of a game manager, Fitzpatrick has shredded that label with a vengeance. He’s averaged nearly 24 fantasy points per game over the last month, and he’s found success by limiting the […]

Week 16 Tight End Outlooks: Delanie Walker, Gary Barnidge, Julius Thomas

There haven’t been many more tight ends who’ve had the type of year Delanie Walker has. It doesn’t matter who his quarterback is either. Somehow, Walker has found a way to get open, and he’s about to finish the most impressive season of his NFL career. Walker has averaged nearly 13 fantasy points per game […]

Week 16 WR Booms: Jarvis Landry, Mike Evans, Golden Tate

Like most of Miami’s offense this year, Jarvis Landry has been difficult to gauge when it comes to fantasy production. Landry has only amassed double-digit fantasy points once in his last five games, but it was a monster 23-point performance against the New York Jets in Week 12. Even though he isn’t putting up the […]

Week 16 QB Booms: Blake Bortles, Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford

With second-year quarterback Blake Bortles at the helm, the offense of the Jacksonville Jaguars is playing like a unit we’re not used to seeing.

Injuries have plagued NFL locker rooms and fantasy lineups all season. Why should championship week be any different?

Fantasy Stock Up: Rueben Randle, Dwayne Harris, Will Tye

With the suspension to Odell Beckham Jr. in effect for Sunday, the door of opportunity swings wide open for several other players on New York.

Fantasy Stock Up: Doug Martin, Matt Forte, Andrew Luck

If you are looking for a running back who will be playing his heart out this week, look no further than Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Doug Martin. Martin, who has 1305 yards on 256 carries for an average of 5.1 yards per carry and five touchdowns, has a chance to win the NFL’s rushing title. And […]

Wide Receivers on the Rise for Week 16: Doug Baldwin, Jeremy Maclin, Golden Tate

With injuries to running backs Marshawn Lynch and replacement Thomas Rawls, the Seattle Seahawks have relied heavily on the passing game, especially in the last few weeks.

Wide Receivers on the Decline for Week 16: Odell Beckham Jr, Larry Fitzgerald, Deandre Hopkins

For those of you looking to start Odell Beckham Jr. in your championship match in Week 16, you will have to look elsewhere for help. Odell has been arguably the most productive and consistent fantasy football wide receiver this season. Unfortunately, his antics on the field last week against the Carolina Panthers and Josh Norman […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Charles Clay, Jonathan Stewart, Adrian Peterson

If you were thinking about starting Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay this week, you may want to think again. According to ESPN’s Adam Caplan, Clay is still dealing with a sore back and is considered questionable to play this week against the Dallas Cowboys. This is the same injury that forced him to sit […]

Running Back Outlooks: Adrian Peterson, Denard Robinson and Travaris Cadet

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Dez Bryant, Danny Amendola and A.J. Green

Although the Dallas Cowboys have absolutely nothing left to play for this season, for some reason the team is refusing to shut down star wide receiver Dez Bryant. Bryant is still recovering from the foot injury that kept him out several weeks and he’s also dealing with a knee injury. Despite being held out of […]

Quarterback Outlooks: Brock Osweiler, Brian Hoyer and Drew Brees

Peyton Manning will have to keep Brock Osweiler’s seat on the bench warm for at least one more week. The Denver Broncos announced that Osweiler will be the team’s starter for Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals and Manning will not be active for the contest. That means if something were to happen to the […]

Week 15 Lineup Busts: Blaine Gabbert, Brandon LaFell, Frank Gore

The San Francisco 49ers had a Week 14 performance they’d like to put behind them for the rest of eternity. The 49ers’ woeful offensive line allowed the abysmal Browns defense to sack Blaine Gabbert an unprecedented nine times in a 24-10 Cleveland victory, and you have to wonder how truly awful San Francisco’s offensive line […]

Week 15 is upon us, and I'm gonna tell you about some great sleeper plays at the wide receiver position for today.

Week 15 Lineup Booms? Michael Crabtree, Lamar Miller, A.J. Green

Over his last five games, Michael Crabtree’s numbers have been nothing more than mediocre. Crabtree, who recently signed an extension to stay in Oakland for the next few years, has cooled off since tearing it up with three-straight double-digit fantasy outings from Weeks 7-9. Crabtree has only amassed 178 yards in his last five games, […]

Week 15 Quarterback Outlooks: Drew Brees, Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford

After a history of inconsistent road play, including his seven-point fantasy performance against the Houston Texans in Week 12, Drew Brees turned it around last week in Tampa Bay by finishing with 312 yards and two touchdowns for 20.4 fantasy points. It was Brees’ second-straight 20-point performance, and he should enjoy the same success on […]

Week 15 Tight End Outlooks: Greg Olsen, Richard Rodgers, Travis Kelce

Tight ends are hit or miss on a weekly basis with the ability to be the difference maker in a win or a loss. The position is basically Rob Gronkowski and everyone else.

Week 15 will be a fascinating time for running backs in fantasy football.

Week 15 Busts: Marcus Mariota and Eli Manning to Underwhelm?

While it’s true that, even as a rookie, Marcus Mariota has seen some success this season, before the end of the year, he’s bound to have another one of those forgetful performances. He’s a young guy; it has to happen. Now, how about Eli Manning? He’s in his twelfth season as a starter for the […]
