Latavius Murray Has Some Flex Appeal Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has performed well in a backup role to Alvin Kamara this season, but a wild-card matchup with the Minnesota Vikings proves to be a tough spot. Murray is very much a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, but he does have 34 receptions on the season, adding some PPR value to […]

Darren Fells Is Touchdown-Dependent Option Against Bills

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells will need to find the end zone in order to be worth being a DFS play in the wild-card round against the Bills. Fells hasn't had 50 receiving yards or more than three catches since Week 8, and since then Fells has found the end zone just twice. He's […]

Alvin Kamara Peaking At Right Time

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara scored four times in the last two games to end the regular season, and he heads into a middling matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round. Before Week 16, Kamara hadn't had a very impressive season, but he seems to be coming into his own when […]

Travis Homer Could Have Sneaky Value

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer could have sneaky value on Sunday versus a dominant Eagles run defense. Homer will share a backfield with newly-signed Marshawn Lynch, who figures to be used between the tackles while Homer operates as a pass-catching back. The rookie from Miami has pulled in 11 receptions over the last two […]

Kenny Stills Faces Tough Buffalo Defense

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills should be on the field for most of Saturday's game against the Bills with Will Fuller (groin) ruled out, but in the regular season Stills actually scored half as many fantasy points per game when Fuller didn't play. Without Fuller to draw Buffalo's defensive backs deeper and open up […]

Anthony Davis Goes Off With 46 Points Against Pelicans

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis scored 46 points with 13 rebounds, three triples, three steals, an assist, and a block in a 123-113 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. It was revenge part two for Davis, who caught fire in the third quarter en route to his second 40-point performance in two games against […]

Marshawn Lynch Not A Recommended Option

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch returned last week to much fanfare. He even found his way into the end zone. But the veteran who was unsigned two weeks ago will now face an Eagles Defense that is 7th in the league in fantasy points allowed to running backs. What's worse for Lynch is that […]

James White Should Be Involved Saturday

New England Patriots running back James White isn't the lead back for his team, but he has been the most consistent producer for fantasy owners and should be involved plenty in Saturday's wild-card matchup with Tennessee. White only had double-digit carries once this season but has made at least three catches in 13 of 15 […]

Drew Brees Looks To Continue Hot Play In Wild-Card Round

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is looking to continue his red-hot play in the wild-card  matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Over his last five games, he's thrown 16 touchdowns and no interceptions and has led the Saints to a 4-1 record. Against the Vikings, Brees should be able to exploit a secondary that has […]

Will Fuller Won't Play Against Bills

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills, says Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Fuller's status had already been in doubt, so this news shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Kenny Stills will fill in for him as the team's second outside receiver, […]

Sony Michel Should See Enough Work To Start

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel had a disappointing sophomore season for fantasy owners but will look to redeem himself in the playoffs starting on wild-card weekend against Tennessee. Michel only rushed for 912 yards this year on just 3.7 yards per carry but is trending upwards as the playoffs get underway. Michel out-touched […]

DeAndre Hopkins Faces Tough Test Against Bills

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins faces a difficult matchup during the NFL's wild-card round on Saturday against the Bills. Among the eight teams playing this weekend, the Bills allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers in the regular season. Hopkins should have plenty of chances to make plays with Will Fuller […]

Duke Johnson's Usage Makes Him Risky Play

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson is a risky option on Saturday against the Bills, mainly because the Texans have struggled to get him involved down the stretch. Not counting a meaningless Week 17 game where Johnson ceded carries to Houston's backup backs after scoring a touchdown on the first drive, Johnson had just 11 […]

Carlos Hyde Has Tough Matchup Against Bills

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde is a risky DFS play during the wild-card round of the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills. Hyde has had his best season in the NFL from a yardage perspective, but the Bills were solid against running backs in the regular season, and Hyde is one of the least dynamic […]

DFS Wide Receivers To Target In The Wild Card Round

In Week 17, John Brown was inactive and Robert Foster played in his place. Even though Foster played 98.4% of the snaps, he failed to haul in a single target and ended up with a goose egg. Instead, Duke Williams led the way for the Bills receivers, hauling in six passes for 108 yards. I turned […]

Jonnu Smith to Face Patriots in Wild-Card Game

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith draws a tough matchup against the New England Patriots in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Smith has performed well since taking over as Tennessee's starting tight end, scoring a touchdown in two of the final four games of the season. New England's defense has been dominant this year […]

Andrei Svechnikov Hands Out Two Assists Friday Night

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov finished Friday's 4-3 loss to Washington with two assists, taking his tally for the season up to 40 points. Ron Francis is the only teenager in franchise history to reach 40 points in a season faster than Svechnikov did. He's yet to miss a game this season and this […]

Ilya Samsonov Achieves Rare Feat In Friday's Victory

Washington Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov saved 38 of 41 shots in Friday's 4-3 road win over Carolina, becoming only the second goalie in league history to produce a win in all of his first eight career road starts. Brent Johnson is the only other guy to do it, and he even went 11-0-0 on the […]
