Michael Floyd and DeAndre Hopkins Sidelined; Julio Jones to Be Shadowed

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd remained sidelined during Thursday’s practice with a hamstring injury. He is officially listed as questionable on the team’s injury report, but is starting to look more doubtful than anything.

Aaron Rodgers Listed as Questionable - Davante Adams Quickly Becoming His Number One Target

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was limited at practice Wednesday and is listed as questionable due to a right shoulder injury, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

Jeremy Langford is a RB1 Until Matt Forte Returns

When Matt Forte went down with a knee injury in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, rookie running back Jeremy Langford was thought to be the man to step into the starting position.

Fantasy Stock Up? Eli Manning, LeSean McCoy, Michael Floyd, Gary Barnidge

Eli Manning - QB, New York Giants Manning and the Giants came very close to beating the New England Patriots on Sunday, and even though they lost, Eli Manning gets to go into the bye week on a personal high note. Or at least his fantasy football stock gets to. Manning finished the game with 361 […]

Benching T.Y. Hilton or Calvin Johnson. Should it Happen?

This late in the season, it’s difficult to bench anyone you drafted early, as if this sudden failure will seep into your lineup. Honestly, it’s not about then, but about now. How affective can a player be for you now, regardless of performances in previous weeks? T.Y. Hilton leads the Indianapolis Colts in targets but has […]

Frank Gore No Longer Limited, Amari Cooper to Be Shadowed and Christine Michael Goes Unclaimed

It seems like Indianapolis Colts running back Frank Gore has been around forever. When he was with the San Francisco 49ers he was one of the best running back in all of football for several seasons, but flew under the radar most of the time. Now that he’s 32, it’s clear he’s not as good […]

Blakes Bortles or Marcus Mariota?

Tonight’s Thursday night matchup isn’t exactly DVR-worthy, but it will showcase some of the finest young talent in the NFL. Despite the record of both teams, there are playoff implications attached. The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6) are very much alive in a close but sloppy AFC South race, only a game behind the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts […]

Bills Plan to Shut Down Rob Gronkowski, Darren Sproles Wants More Touches and a Ryan Fitzpatrick Update

When the Buffalo Bills faced the New England Patriots in Week 2, the team said it had a plan to stop freakishly talented tight end Rob Gronkowski. Well, the Bills’ plan didn’t work out so well. Gronk had 113 yards and one touchdown in the win. Fast forward to Week 11 and the team once […]

Can You Trust Brock Osweiler or Mark Sanchez this Week?

As if 2015 hadn't already seen its fair share of injuries, several more players fell victim to injury last Sunday.  Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (foot) and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford (shoulder) will both miss Sunday's games and possibly longer depending on the severity of their injuries.  Both quarterbacks have been struggling heavily this […]

Fantasy Stock Down? Dez Bryant, Darren McFadden & Jimmy Graham

Darren McFadden – RB, Dallas Cowboys Yes, Tampa Bay's defense is actually not as bad as advertised when it comes to the run. Yes, Matt Cassel was under center. But it doesn't excuse a rather poor performance from Dallas' running game. This is an elite offensive line and a running back who has showed great vision and explosiveness since he […]

Thursday Night Matchups Preview: Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson Look to Thrive Against Titans

There's nothing better than starting your fantasy week before you get to Sunday, and if you own Allen Hurns or Allen Robinson, chances are you're likely to do just that this week.

Texans Shut Down Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard, Time to Worry About Bengals?

The Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the most fantasy-relevant teams during the first half of the season. After secretly hoping they would see a decline and miss the playoffs, we were starting to fall for the trap of believing in their 8-0 start to the season. Week 10 saw the Bengals lose all trust […]

Week 10 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The Fall of a Legend: Peyton Manning

The adage goes that Father Time is undefeated, and on Sunday he claimed another victim. Peyton Manning was simply terrible against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kirk Cousins Shows Drew Brees a Thing or Two Out On the Open Field

To the shock of few, before Sunday, Washington Redskins’ quarterback Kirk Cousins had never thrown for more than three touchdowns in a game during his NFL career. Even more shocking, this season, Cousins hadn’t completed a touchdown pass of more than seven yards. Thankfully, his team’s Week 10 matchup against the dreadful pass defense of […]

Peyton Manning Benched for Brock Osweiler After Breaking Record

For the longest time, though he’d never admit it, Peyton Manning has had his sight set on Brett Favre’s career passing yards record. Both he and the country’s leading football analysts have always known it was only a matter of time before the record would be rightfully broken, but nobody could’ve imaged the way in […]

Carson Palmer Becomes Matchup Proof, Jay Cutler Trustworthy?

The quarterback position has led to many fascinating stories in fantasy football this season. Tom Brady has returned to the top of the position. Peyton Manning has become impossible to start. Derek Carr, Tyrod Taylor and Marcus Mariota are progressing. Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan and Ryan Tannehill are regressing. The quarterbacks are all over the […]

Teddy Bridgewater And The Minnesota Vikings Ride Adrian Peterson To Victory

With the way St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley has been performing over the course of the season, there have been rumblings as to whether he has now taken the throne of the top running back in the NFL. Well, yesterday Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson delayed those talks, if only for a […]

What Happens Next for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos Offense?

It isn’t every day that fans see a quarterback break the NFL record for career passing yards, and get benched in the same game. Although not much should surprise fantasy owners anymore this season, as we’ve all witnessed injuries spreading like a rash around the league, except for maybe the consistent play of Peyton Manning. […]

Jeremy Langford Breathes New Life into the Bears in Matt Forte's Absence

Jeremy Langford is still available in 25 percent of leagues. That number will likely go down after the fantastic performance he put together Sunday, his second in a row.  Langford has made the most of the playing time that has stemmed from the sprained MCL Matt Forte has been nursing. The Chicago Bears are going to have a […]

Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd Pick up the Slack for Chris Johnson in Winning Effort

Whenever the Seattle Seahawks come to town, it’s imperative that the home team brings their A-game. On the road at Seattle that becomes even more imperative.

Tom Brady Loses Key Target as Julian Edelman Breaks Foot In Winning Effort

The New England Patriots have always played the game of football with a “next man up” mentality, but the loss of a good player is still a difficult thing to overcome.

“Backup” Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, And Martavis Bryant Throttle Help Throttle Cleveland In Week 10

When Ben Roethlisberger went down with what was categorized as a mid-foot sprain in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh’s 38-35 victory against the Oakland Raiders last week, it was expected that he would miss at least a couple of games. Surprisingly though, prior to Sunday’s AFC North clash, Roethlisberger was listed as the backup quarterback […]

Peyton Manning Benched In Favor Of Brock Osweiler In Denver's Week 10 Loss

Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs may have been the most bittersweet game of Peyton Manning's illustrious career. The 17-year pro broke Brett Favre all-time passing yards record with a quick four-yard pass to running back Ronnie Hillman, which earned the five-time MVP a standing ovation. Unfortunately, that moment was the only highlight of Manning's disastrous […]

Kirk Cousins, Jordan Reed, And Matt Jones Lead Washington To An Impressive Week 10 Victory

The Redskins may have had the biggest roller coaster season of any team in the NFL this year. While many people predicted Washington would come in last place in the NFC East at the season's outset, they are now only one game out of the top spot after their 48-14 annihilation of the New Orleans Saints, due […]

Marshawn Lynch is 50/50 to Play, John Brown Questionable

We all know that abdominal strains are a pain in the side. No, seriously, they’re horrible for even normal human beings who don’t transform into NFL football royalty during the season. So when Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is up in the air for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals due to abdominal strains, […]

Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson In Line For Fantasy Big Weeks
