C.J. Stroud Brings QB1 Production Against Vexing Vikings Defense

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud faces one of his tougher tests of the season in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. Volume and efficiency have been strengths for the second-year signal caller, who is averaging 34 passing attempts and nearly 250 yards with three touchdowns and no turnovers through two weeks. […]

Eddy Pineiro Better Left Out Of Lineups In Week 3

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has found himself at the bottom of fantasy kickers even though it hasn't been his fault. Pineiro has converted on every field and extra point so far, but he's only attempted one field goal in each game and one extra point overall. The Panthers' offense has been abysmal as they […]

D'Andre Swift - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Consider in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: D'Andre Swift has busted two weeks in a row and may be on the path toward season-long mediocrity.

Compelling WR2 Potential For Stefon Diggs At Vikings

At six targets per game, Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs has firmly been his team's second option behind wide receiver Nico Collins (hip, foot) but ahead of wide receiver Tank Dell and tight end Dalton Schultz. That trend looks likely to continue as the 30-year-old plays his first game in Minnesota since the Vikings […]

Tank Dell Searching For First Breakout Against Minnesota

It's been a rough go through two games for Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell, who ranks 63rd among receivers in fantasy points. In Week 2, Dell had a woeful minus-3 receiving yards, an 11% target share, and a bad drop that would have been a significant gain. Houston seems committed to keeping the second-year […]

Jake Bates An Average Option In Week 3

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates has hovered around the middle of the pack for kickers so far after two weeks. In the Lions' Week 2 loss, Bates converted on all three of his field goals and his lone extra point. So far, he hasn't missed a field goal or extra point through two games, but […]

Xavier Legette Looks Forward To More Deep-Ball Opportunities

Despite being one of the best-protected quarterbacks […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in Chasmic Leagues (20+ Teams) POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Wait what... Britain who? Covery? Covey? Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britan Covey did something against the Atlanta Falcons Monday night. Six catches for 23 yards. That's not very much. Who is this guy again? Really solid job by Jalen Hurts to keep the […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: Kenneth Walker III (oblique) is expected to miss Sunday's matchup against the Miami Dolphins, opening the door again for Zach Charbonnet.

Baker Mayfield - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is off to a great start in 2024 and is the overall QB1 after two games.

C.J. Mosley Likely To Return By Week 4

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (toe) had to sit out of the Week 3 win as he continues to deal with a toe injury that needed added rest. The star middle linebacker did play in their first two games and accrued a total of 12 combined tackles (10 solo) with no sacks or QB […]

Rico Dowdle - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle did the thing again. He's leading fantasy managers to believe he could take over the Cowboys backfield.

Hunter Henry Held In Check In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught two of three targets for nine yards during Thursday's loss to the New York Jets. Henry had broke out for eight catches and 109 yards in Week 2, but he was dealt a harsh reality check as his production came way back down to earth in Week […]

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed just six times for 23 yards during Thursday's loss to the New York Jets.
