Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate Dominate on Thanksgiving

The Detroit Lions were one of the worst teams in the NFL during the first half of the season. Their record was 1-7 and they were proving to have no players worthy of starting in fantasy aside from Calvin Johnson. Despite his greatness, Johnson was even hit or miss for the early portion of the […]

Leonard Hankerson Misses Practice, John Brown Returns and Hakeem Nicks to Be Inactive

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Leonard Hankerson missed practice on Thanksgiving day and is unlikely to play in the team’s Week 12 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Early on in the season Hankerson was emerging as a dependable WR3 for his fantasy football owners, but lately he has not been able to stay healthy. That has […]

Brian Hoyer/DeAndre Hopkins Poised For a Big Week 12 Against An Awful New Orleans Saints Defense

Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer has passed all of the league concussion protocol testing and will be the Week 12 starter, per Coach Bill O’Brien. Before Hoyer was injured, he was averaging very respectful numbers for fantasy football lineups. In the past five games before his concussion, he averaged 269 passing yards and threw for […]

Johnny Manziel Demoted, Josh McCown/Gary Barnidge to Resume Power Numbers in Week 12

Just last week, Johnny Manziel was given the reins of the Cleveland Browns and was named starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Unfortunately for him, he continues to be his own worst enemy. A video of Manziel holding a bottle of alcohol as he partied with friends surfaced just a few days ago. […]

Charcandrick West Not Practicing, Ryan Mathews Ruled Out and Jordan Reed Good to Go

If you own Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West in any fantasy football leagues, you will not be happy to hear that he was not practicing on Wednesday. West is dealing with a hamstring injury and it sounds like it is unlikely that he’ll suit up on Sunday. If West doesn’t play, Knile Davis […]

Sam Bradford Questionable, Devonta Freeman Not Yet Cleared and Frank Gore Misses Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Week 12 game against the Detroit Lions. Considering Bradford was listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday, it would seem as if he will play on Thanksgiving. However, you never know with coach Chip Kelly. Despite having a good matchup this week, […]

Jonathan Stewart and Darren McFadden Giving Thanks to their Increased Workload

Jonathan Stewart and Darren McFadden will compete in a figurative pulling of the wish bone during Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup of the undefeated Carolina Panthers and suddenly rejuvenated Dallas Cowboys. The Panthers look to stay unbeaten, continuing their magical 2015 run while the Cowboys simply cling onto their dear playoff lives, now with Tony Romo back […]

DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproles Looking to be Thankful for their Thanksgiving Performances

There has to be something special about sharing a football field on a day where families across the country are sharing a dinner table, passing plates of stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Every year it seems like an individual or team shines on Turkey Day, and this season, two Philadelphia Eagles running backs can […]

Joseph Randle Arrested, Case Keenum Expected to Start and Matt Forte Is Good to Go

Former Dallas Cowboys running back and current free agent Joseph Randle was arrested at a Kansas casino on Tuesday night. According to a TMZ report, Randle was told to leave the casino because he was clearly drunk. While he was leaving he spit on the floor and reportedly “went berserk” on police escorting him out. […]

Marshawn Lynch Has Hernia Surgery, Stedman Bailey Shot and Christian Ponder Works Out in Denver

If you own Marshawn Lynch in any fantasy football leagues, I hope you have Thomas Rawls on your roster as well because it doesn’t sound like Beast Mode will be able to help you anymore this season. On Wednesday morning Lynch had sports hernia surgery and is expected to miss “about a month,” according to […]

Looking Back at Cam Newton and Jameis Winston Tossing 5 Touchdown Passes

Apparently, the days of sitting back on a lazy Sunday afternoon to watch the likes of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees toss touchdown pass after touchdown pass or long gone. It’s not that the aforementioned aren’t picking apart unsuspecting defenses all over the NFL, it’s just that a select group of younger quarterbacks […]

Believe It or Not, Brock Osweiler Proves Better Than Peyton Manning

There are a few things in life that are nearly impossible to imagine ever happening. Seriously, from pigs flying to the Chicago Cubs winning a World Series title, as human beings, we’ve become fairly comfortable with the certainty of what surrounds us. Sure, from time to time, there’s an event or two which shakes things […]

Week 11 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

After eleven weeks of NFL action we’re dangerously close to the fantasy playoffs. By now you’re likely either in it or mathematically eliminated so I would assume that you’re still fighting for a playoff spot if you’re reading this. You’re going to see some playoff analysis sprinkled into the game-by-game breakdowns alongside the usual injury […]

Can You Trust Kamar Aiken or Crockett Gilmore With Joe Flacco and Justin Forsett Out?

The Baltimore Ravens are having the most disappointing season in the NFL. Despite being a consistent playoff participant for years, Baltimore is nowhere near contention this season and has a 3-7 record. The Ravens have suffered heartbreaking defeats to opposing teams but the biggest losses have come in the form of injuries. Rookie Breshad Perriman […]

Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy Combine to Overcome Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings

“R-E-L-A-X.” Last year, according to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, there was no better way for the famous cheeseheads of Green Bay to calm their racing hearts when the Packers struggled to perform out on the open field. Though it’s likely that little has changed in the mental makeup of Wisconsin’s favorite quarterback, this year, it appears […]

Brock Osweiler Starting Over Peyton Manning in Week 12, Good For Broncos Fantasy Stars?

The Denver Broncos have announced that Brock Osweiler will start at quarterback in Week 12 against the New England Patriots in place of Peyton Manning. It remains unsure whether this decision was made due to the injury concerns regarding Manning, the effective play of Osweiler or a combination of both. Osweiler delivered the best quarterback […]

Jameis Winston, Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson Could Be Big for Fantasy Owners

Apart from Deflategate, coming into this season, one of the biggest storylines had to do with how well Jameis Winston would handle the transition from the college game to the NFL. While he’s had his bumps and bruises along the way, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 11 matchup against Chip Kelly and the struggling Philadelphia […]

T.J. Yates and DeAndre Hopkins Light Up The Jets In Week 11

Houston Texans quarterback T.J. Yates isn't supposed to be in the position he is in right now. Yates, who was originally drafted by the Texans back in 2011, was sitting on his couch, drinking coffee when the Texans called him in late October to join the team. Now, a Ryan Mallett cut and a Brian […]

Thomas Rawls' Big Game May Spell The End Of The Marshawn Lynch Era?

We always hear about the dreaded 30-year old mark for running backs. You know, the age where running backs historically break down health-wise and/or begin to lose their burst, speed, and everything else that made them so great for so long. Well, it appears that Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch may have reached that […]

Safe To Trust Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy After A Strong Week 11?

Fans of the Green Bay Packers were starting to get worried over their beloved team's performance over the course of the past few weeks, and for good reason. Last week's loss against the Detroit Lions marked the first time the team had lost three consecutive games in the Aaron Rodgers era, which dates back to 2008. […]

Jameis Winston, Doug Martin, and Mike Evans Lead Bucs To A Huge Win

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have become one of the most exciting young teams in the NFL. After recording a disappointing 2-14 season in 2014, the Bucs already doubled last year's win total with a win over the Dallas Cowboys last week. This week, Tampa Bay throttled another NFC East foe in the Philadelphia Eagles behind […]

Jamison Crowder and Stefon Diggs Sneaky Good Plays Today

Week 11 is here and each move you make from here on out could either make or break your chances to take home the championship in your league.  Whether that's sitting a wide receiver, playing the right waiver wire quarterback or choosing who to play at flex, every move is crucial. One guy I like […]

Calm Your Expectations for DeSean Jackson and Davante Adams?

DeSean Jackson has been a bust since coming to Washington from Philadelphia. There's really no other way to put it. Between the injuries and the overall lack of production, Jackson hasn't been anything close to the No. 1 threat the Redskins were hoping for. Jackson's been back for two weeks now, but has only managed […]

Jordan Reed, Eric Ebron, Tyler Eifert and Travis Kelce Solid Tight End Options

Jordan Reed has been a touchdown machine for the Washington Redskins over the last three games. During that span, Reed has totaled 17 catches, five touchdowns and 41.9 fantasy points. The Redskins’ offense is still pretty inept despite that 47-point outburst last week. The New Orleans Saints defense is awful, so every big outing against […]

Vincent Jackson in, Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery, Ladarius Green and Austin Seferian-Jenkins all out

According to Adam Schefter, Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson will return to the lineup today after a knee injury has kept him out since week 7. With Jackson back, it will be a nice boost for rookie quarterback Jameis Winston who has had only Mike Evans to throw to, which has limited his production. Evans […]

Lamar Miller, Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman Will Have Great Performances in Week 11

If you can find a hotter running back than Lamar Miller when it comes to fantasy football, I’d love to see it. Chances are you can’t, because Miller has been an absolute monster since Dan Campbell took over as head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Miller has averaged more than 20 points per game over […]

Carson Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald To Stay Hot?

The Arizona Cardinals will try to keep their win streak going against the Cincinnati Bengals tonight, and Carson Palmer has no signs of slowing down. Last week when the Bengals played the Seattle Seahawks, Palmer threw for 363 yards and 3 touchdowns with just one pick. That was the fifth time this season he has […]

Darren McFadden to Have Big Game as Safety Net for Tony Romo

Without the help of Dez Bryant and Tony Romo for a number of weeks this season, it’s no surprise that the Dallas Cowboys currently find themselves with a lowly record of 2-7. While there’s technically still an outside shot of America’s team qualifying for the postseason in a weakened NFC East, it’s admittedly a long […]

Matt Ryan Looks to Go Big for the Falcons Against the Andrew Luck-less Colts

The NFL’s regular season is often a wild ride. Pegged by many NFL and fantasy football experts to be lifting the Lombardi Trophy this upcoming February at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., this season has been a complete and total disaster for the Indianapolis Colts. The reports of head coach Chuck Pagano’s disdain for […]
