Quarterbacks Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Matchups matter, and in Week 8, I’m putting that theory to the test with a quarterback landscape that offers some major opportunities—and a few traps fantasy managers need to avoid. Kyler Murray has a matchup worth getting excited about, and if you’ve been waiting for the right week to trust him, this could be your […]
Running Backs Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Bucky Irving is proving that his recent fantasy football production is no fluke, and I’m buying into the role just as much as the results. After back-to-back explosive performances, Irving has established himself as a legitimate top-12 running back, and his consistent workload suggests there’s plenty more to come. Meanwhile, Jonathan Taylor managers need to […]
Wide Receivers Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Zay Flowers isn’t just a must-start wide receiver anymore. He’s making a legitimate run at the overall WR1 spot in fantasy football, and I’m not sure any matchup or quarterback situation can slow him down. The volume is elite, the big-play ability is undeniable, and with Lamar Jackson back, the ceiling could be absolutely ridiculous. […]
Tight Ends Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Hunter Henry is just getting started, and if you’re still sleeping on the Patriots tight end, Week 8 might be the week that wakes you up. Four straight games with double-digit fantasy production, a growing connection with Drake Maye, and a Dolphins defense that struggles against tight ends? That’s the kind of matchup fantasy managers […]

TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Thursday Night Showdown
I can't believe we are nearly halfway through the season already; Week 8 is here, and it's time to cash some DFS lineups.
