Devin Funchess (WR, CAR) - Sneaky Week 3 Adds

A fantasy darling in the offseason after the Kelvin Benjamin injury, it's time for Funchess to show a sign of being able to be a usable receiver, or we may need to forget his name for the rest of the season. He's done virtually nothing up to this point, but head coach Ron Rivera said […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote Beasley up here last week, and I'm doing so again. Even after the four catch for 14 yard day against the Eagles in Week 2, I'm a believer. Listen - Dez Bryant is out, Jason Witten is hurt, and Brandon Weeden is going to need to hit some short quick hitting routes to get in a […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote up McCluster earlier in the week, calling him a hail mary play for Week 3. I still feel the same about McCluster - he is a boom or bust candidate that likely depends on hitting a big play. But I love McCluster's talent, and it's just a matter of whether or not he […]

Sneaky Week 3 Starts: Nick Foles, Isaiah Crowell, Heath Miller & More

Week Three! It's almost time to finalize those lineups... This may be your last chance to find those sneakier players for your Week 3 lineups - players who have great matchups - as you try to surprise your opponents. Hopefully they are still blindly starting their highest drafted players. Here’s a look at five under-the-radar fantasy options, one at each […]

Brandon Marshall (WR, NYJ) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

In pure talent terms, Brandon Marshall may be a top 10 NFL wide receiver. Coming into the 2015 season though, some were concerned the injuries may have added up - and even more analysts were concerned about his role on a bad offense. Through the first two weeks, the Jets offense has performed quite well […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Week 3 Lineup Busts?

Two words: Revis Island. Not only does the Eagles offense look terrible so far this season, they’ll be headed to Metlife Stadium to face one of the league’s better looking defenses. Jordan Matthews has had a solid start to the season, so chances are good that you won’t bench him. And I understand that, especially […]

Andre Johnson (WR, IND) - Week 3 Lineup Busts

Andre Johnson is starting to look like a fixture on the bust list this season. Drafted as a WR2 in most formats, Johnson has looked slow and uninspiring thus far. It appears that wide receiver Donte Moncrief is poised to move ahead of the veteran receiver for good, dropping Johnson to the number four option on […]

Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

Anyone who understands the nature of running backs in fantasy football knows that value is all about volume. The more touches a runner has, the better. Without Dez Bryant or Tony Romo for the foreseeable future, an uptick in carries for Joseph Randle is inevitable going forward. Dallas certainly aren’t going to put their trust […]

T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Speaking of the Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck’s primary wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is off to a slow start as well. A large part of that, perhaps even most of it, has been due to the fact that Hilton has been banged up to start the year. He entered week one questionable with a concussion, which […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Remember when quarterback Aaron Rodgers told everyone to R.E.L.A.X. last year? That’s exactly what I’m going to tell you to do if you own Andrew Luck. Relax. He’s going to be just fine. Luck’s first two games were against tough defenses in the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. With the Tennessee Titans on deck, […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Players Showing Warning Signals

I would like to begin this little blurb by paraphrasing the great Bob Ryan of The Boston Globe and ESPN’s Around the Horn fame. With how little Jimmy Graham has been utilized in the passing game, Ryan made the analogy that this would be the equivalent of the Seattle Mariners signing Nelson Cruz just to […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Of all the players on my warning signals list this week, Cincinnati running back Jeremy Hill is the one that seems to have raised the most eyebrows. Through two weeks, Hill only has 102 rushing yards but does have two touchdowns, both of which came in Week One. The more worrisome tidbit of information is the […]

DeMarco Murray (RB, PHI) - Players Showing Warning Signals

I had added Murray to my list of players with warning signals, long before the news of his injured hamstring came to be. For this week alone, you’re just gong to have to wait and see if Murray can go but as an overall point, I’m already done holding my breath. The Eagles can’t seem […]

Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Week 3 Lineup Busts

After an impressive preseason connecting with Alex Smith, people thought that the Chiefs finally found a wide receiver in Maclin that could lead them into the end zone for the first time in more than a year. Well after two weeks, things haven't exactly worked out as planned, as Maclin has averaged only 54.5 yards per […]

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 […]
