Week 14 QB Outlooks: Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan Not Worth the Risk

Generally speaking, throughout the course of their respective careers, Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan have easily been viewed as solid fantasy quarterbacks. That said, a number of Week 14 factors make it seem as though the two veteran quarterbacks would be better left on the bench. For starters, at least in Rivers’ case, he’s playing […]

Week 14 Busts: Expect Derek Carr and Alex Smith to Struggle

Looking for some top-notch quarterback play this weekend? Let’s be honest here—most fantasy football fanatics are always in need of some help under center. Yes, there are the point producers: Cam Newton, Tom Brady and Carson Palmer. That said, there’s a second tier of quarterbacks that, though by no means superstars, have managed to show […]

Week 14 Booms: Lamar Miller and Alshon Jeffery

The first round of fantasy football playoffs has officially begun, and for those who were fortunate enough to extend their seasons past Week 13, knocking it out of the park during the first round of the postseason is extremely rewarding. With that in mind, let’s take a look at two guys who should reward their […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Brandon Coleman, Marques Colston

With Brandin Cooks likely to miss Sunday's action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Willie Snead limited in practice Thursday, nursing a calf injury, two wide receivers can step up and aid Drew Brees in once again lighting up the scoreboard. This all depends on the health of Snead. If Snead plays, he will be […]

Running Back Outlooks: Jonathan Stewart, Doug Martin, Todd Gurley

Jonathan Stewart heads into a favorable matchup against an Atlanta Falcons team that gives up the most fantasy points to running backs, according to Yahoo! Sports. Stewart has carried the ball 20 or more times in eight straight weeks and has really come into his own of late, feeding off the success in Carolina. He […]

Tight End Outlooks: Heath Miller, Charles Clay and Maxx Williams

Tight end is one position that often gets overlooked when it comes to fantasy football teams. During drafts, many people decide to wait too long to take a tight end and if that was the case this season, those people may have ended up with Heath Miller, Charles Clay and/or Maxx Williams as one of […]

Week 14 Booms: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jameis Winston

The quarterback position has been unpredictable in 2015, and many fantasy football fans have turned to streaming versus sticking with one player consistently. That game plan definitely has its positives and this week is no different. With the playoffs approaching for many leagues, there are two quarterbacks that could provide great results for your pivotal […]

Martavis Bryant Has Quietly Become A WR1

Is it possible for one team to have two true elite fantasy wide receivers? The Pittsburgh Steelers are certainly making the case for it with the stellar production by Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant. The dynamic duo are the only pair of wide receivers averaging more than fifteen standard fantasy points per game. We all know Brown is […]

Rob Gronkowski (Knee) Limited At Practice: Pick Up Scott Chandler, Sit Tom Brady

Rob Gronkowski was officially listed as "limited" in Thursday's practice for the New England Patriots in his first action since leaving Week 12’s game against the Denver Broncos, according to ESPN.com. The All-Pro tight end wore a protective sleeve/brace over his right knee during the practice. It’s unclear whether or not he’ll be cleared to play Sunday […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Torrey Smith, Amari Cooper and Kevin White

There has never been a bigger boom or bust player than San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Torrey Smith. Chances are if you are forced to start him in Week 14, you pretty much already know you’re screwed. But if you are trying to decide between Smith and another receiver, here’s some information that may force […]

Juwan Thompson To Start Over Ronnie Hillman And C.J. Anderson?

Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson were full participants at practice on Thursday, but Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said that Juwan Thompson could be the starting running back against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, according to The Denver Post. In the beginning of the season, it appeared as if the running back job was all Anderson […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Tim Hightower, C.J. Spiller

The New Orleans Saints placed starting running back Mark Ingram on the season-ending injured reserve list Wednesday, adding more pain to an already painful 2015 campaign. The show must always go on in fantasy, though, as two Saints running backs now move up on the depth chart; C.J. Spiller and Tim Hightower. But is it […]

Week 14 Booms: Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has put up some decent passing numbers in the past two games, totaling 618 yards and three touchdowns. What is slightly startling is the fact that he has thrown more interceptions (four) in these games than he has found the end zone. However, it is worth noting that the New […]

Fantasy Stock Up; David Johnson, Thomas Rawls

Sometimes in sports it takes the injury of one player to pave the way for the opportunity of the next player to shine. Rookie running backs David Johnson and Thomas Rawls are taking full advantage of injuries to their teams' respective starting running backs and will continue to dominate in their new roles. David Johnson […]

Fantasy Outlook: Carson Palmer, John Brown, Larry Fitzgerald

Steamrolling into Thursday night on a six game winning streak, the Arizona Cardinals look to make it seven against a tough Minnesota Vikings team. The Cardinals certainly have more viable fantasy options than the Vikings, so let's break it down. Carson Palmer's touchdown to interception ratio is incredible, 29 to 9. The veteran has thrown at […]

Fantasy Outlook: Teddy Bridgewater, Adrian Peterson, Stefon Diggs

The Minnesota Vikings enter Thursday night's showdown against the Arizona Cardinals tied for first place in the NFC North. The Vikings are looking to win their first division title since 2009 but do they have enough weapons, on the field and in fantasy lineups, to sustain production? Teddy Bridgewater is not start-able. Let's not beat around […]

Fantasy Outlook: Mark Ingram, Phillip Dorsett and Ty Montgomery

Although none of the players mentioned in the headline are of any significance for the remainder of the 2015 fantasy football season, all three are worth holding onto in keeper and/or dynasty leagues. Let’s start with Mark Ingram, who was having a fantastic season with the New Orleans Saints until he was placed on injured […]

Lineup Booms: Eric Decker, Jacob Tamme and Eddie Royal

One wide receiver that has helped several teams reach the fantasy football playoffs this season is New York Jets’ Eric Decker. Although he hasn’t been flashy, or featured in many SportsCenter highlights, Decker has had a fantastic season. In 11 games he has hauled in 59 passes for 801 yards and eight touchdowns. Not only […]

Fantasy Fallers: Mark Ingram, Martellus Bennett and Larry Donnell

If you drafted one of the players mentioned in the headline of this story, chances are you relied on him in your starting lineup at some point this season. Unfortunately, all three guys are now on injured reserve and can be dropped from redraft leagues. On Wednesday afternoon the New Orleans Saints officially placed running […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Allen Hurns, Willie Snead and Vincent Jackson

It looks like Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns will be back in action in time to help lead all of his fantasy football owners to their championship. Hurns missed last week due to a concussion, but he practiced in full on Wednesday and should be good to go. With the Jaguars set to go […]

Fantasy Fallers: Mark Ingram, Martellus Bennett and Larry Donnell

If you drafted one of the players mentioned in the headline of this story, chances are you relied on him in your starting lineup at some point this season. Unfortunately, all three guys are now on injured reserve and can be dropped from redraft leagues. On Wednesday afternoon the New Orleans Saints officially placed running […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Ronnie Hillman, Andre Ellington and Matt Schaub

With C.J. Anderson dealing with an ankle injury, Week 14 against the Oakland Raiders could have been Ronnie Hillman’s chance to shine as the Denver Broncos main running back. Unfortunately, Hillman is dealing with an injury of his own which caused him to miss practice on Wednesday. Hillman is dealing with a foot injury, which […]

Fantasy Stock Down: Kendall Wright, Stevie Johnson and Vernon Davis

For fantasy football owners, this is definitely not the time of year you want to be hearing about a player missing practice due to injury. Unfortunately the injury bug doesn’t really care if your team has a chance to make a championship run or not. Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kendall Wright is just one of […]

Fantasy Busts: Adrian Peterson, Ryan Tannehill, Todd Gurley

The worst feeling for a fantasy owner is playing someone you expected to have a big day for you, end up posting a dud of a performance. Here are some of the biggest fantasy busts for this week. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is without a doubt one of the best running backs in […]

QB Fantasy Stock Up: Blake Bortles, Cam Newton, Tyrod Taylor

This week featured a couple of huge performances from the quarterback position, and one solid performance from a quarterback who hasn’t thrown a pick since the beginning of October. Cam Newton helped lead the Panthers to victory over the New Orleans Saints, continuing their undefeated season with a five touchdown, 331 yard, and one interception […]

Fantasy Risers: Tyrod Taylor and Javorius Allen Increase In Value

Each week in fantasy football, there are a handful of players who show their true colors and distance themselves from the rest of the league. They might not be the biggest of names, but there’s still real fantasy value there and an opportunity for invaluable points to be brought in later on in the fantasy […]

Fantasy Stock Up: Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett

Clearly, at the start of the season, the Seattle Seahawks were in complete and total disarray. Sure, Kam Chancellor’s holdout and some tough opponents might have had something to do with it, but there’s no denying the fact that the Seahawks didn’t appear to be living up to their full potential on the field. Well, […]

Fantasy Fallers: Philip Rivers and Todd Gurley Fail to Meet Expectations

The reality of the NFL is that good players, sooner or later, are going to fall on hard times. From Tom Brady and Peyton Manning to Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch, nobody is exempt from the sporadic, on-field tragedy. Now, your job as a fantasy football fanatic is to successfully identify these downward trends before […]

Wide Receiver Outlooks: Julio Jones Struggles as Jeremy Maclin Excels

The life of a wide receiver in the NFL can be an interesting one. Why? Well, think about it—as a wideout, you’re not entirely responsible for your success while out on the field. If the ball’s being thrown your way, you’re then eligible for dominance or complete and total failure. When it isn’t, either you’re […]
