Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

As we enter the second half of the fantasy regular season, all eyes will be on the news wire as the trade deadline approaches. We already recommended some players to add/stash/acquire ahead of October 29, so hopefully you were able to take action this past week. If not, don't worry - there are still plenty of […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 9

Whether your fantasy team is sitting pretty at 7-1 or is still clawing toward contention at 3-5, you shouldn't neglect the waiver wire. Especially in deeper leagues where you need any edge you can get at the flex position. With bye weeks in full effect and the free agent scraps getting fewer and fewer, let […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers

Week 8 didn't offer too many surprises for the most part. There were, however, a few players that registered multiple-touchdown performances which elevated them up the ranks, such as Aaron Jones (2 TD), Tevin Coleman (4 TD), Latavius Murray (2 TD) and Mike Evans (2 TD). For the most part, the players that scored multiple […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 9)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Wild Cards: Fantasy Outlook for Arizona's RBs

When fantasy owners drafted David Johnson in the first round this season, they thought and hoped for a return to superstar form. Johnson had an Average Draft Position of seventh overall in the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC). The season opened in promising fashion, with 137 yards from scrimmage and six receptions plus a rushing […]

Cutting Through The Wide Receiver Clutter - NFL Next Gen Stats

We're officially past mid-season and if that doesn't make you sad enough, how about the fact that even the trade deadline has past us now? Eh? Was that what ultimately broke your hopes of football staying on forever? Too bad. The good news, as always, is that a new week full of games is ahead. […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

The regular season continues to advance at a relentless pace as we have now entered planning for Week 9. Some of you are ecstatic with the level of production that has been delivered by your running backs. But many of you have been contending with unwanted developments at this position including injuries, inconsistent usage, and […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

We're heading into the ninth week of NFL football now. Time flies and all that, right? Week 8 was one of those weeks where it can be hard to watch football, as the matchups weren't great and the best teams kept winning and anyone who had to play against Tevin Coleman had a really bad […]

Week 9 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

Week 9 will not be an easy week for fantasy football owners or tight end lovers. Four NFL teams are on bye this week, and the tight ends who will be out of action are prominent and valuable. Atlanta’s Austin Hooper, who has been a top-5 tight end throughout the season, is the marquee name […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 9

We have no new major quarterback injuries as of writing this, but the injuries from past weeks have really thinned out the waiver wire for those of us who stream quarterbacks. Not to worry though, as there are still plenty of good options out there if you're in need. We've got four teams on bye […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

With eight weeks gone, that means over 60% of the regular fantasy season is over. Are you still with us? 8-0 teams are looking ahead to playoff matchups while 2-6 teams are looking for the 7-6 Wild Card spot. The upcoming bye week means no Bengals, Falcons, Rams or Saints -- so many of you […]

Matt Breida And Raheem Mostert Miss Practice

San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (quad, knee) will not practice on Tuesday. Both players were “limited” in yesterday’s estimated injury report and are iffy for Thursday night’s Week 9 tilt against the Arizona Cardinals. Running back Tevin Coleman ignited for four touchdowns in Week 8 and should carry even […]

Marqise Lee's Season Ends

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, which will end his season. Lee didn't receive a lot of attention, but his departure could open up more for Keelan Cole, who has just four catches for 33 yards this season. However, he has scored touchdowns in consecutive weeks. Cole […]

Kenyan Drake To Have Workload Monitored

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake will be given a "manageable" workload in Week 9 to help his transition to a new team in a short week, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Look for him to share work with Alfred Morris or Zach Zenner against the daunted San Francisco 49ers Defense. The Niners have […]

PGA DFS (DraftKings): Horse For The Course - WGC HSBC Champions

Tiger Woods is running out of ways to shock us. The legend, fresh off a surgical procedure on his knee during his short offseason break, wowed us yet again last week in Japan by coming from seemingly nowhere to win the ZOZO Championship for his 82nd career victory on the PGA Tour. The win tied […]

Chase Edmonds Idle Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) was out of practice Tuesday, and his status for Thursday night is a big question mark. The Cardinals acquired running back Kenyan Drake from the Miami Dolphins, and he figures to see the bulk of the action in Week 9. The San Francisco 49ers are a terrible matchup […]

David Johnson Sits Out Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) remained out of practice Tuesday, and he's not expected to be ready to play Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers. The Cardinals acquired running back Kenyan Drake from the Miami Dolphins after running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) also went down in Week 8. Drake should remain a factor […]

J.T. Miller Chips in Two Goals in Canucks Win

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller led the team to a 7-2 victory over the Florida Panthers, chipping in two goals. Elias Pettersson and Alexander Edler also factored into the scoring in a big way, each tallying three assists. Brandon Sutter, Tim Schaller, Jake Virtanen, Josh Leivo, and Brock Boeser were the other goal scorers for […]

Sergei Bobrovsky and Sam Montembeault Perform Poorly in Vancouver

Florida Panthers goaltenders Sergei Bobrovsky and Sam Montembeault had a night to forget in a 7-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, allowing a combined seven goals on 36 shots. Montembeault was pulled after allowing three goals on five shots to begin the game but returned in the second period after Bobrovsky allowed two goals on […]

Conor Garland Leads Coyotes to Shootout Victory

Arizona Coyotes forward Conor Garland scored a goal and an assist in Monday night's shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres. This was Garland's sixth goal of the season, bringing his total to six goals and two assists on the season. He has been a huge addition to the Coyotes in his first full season, giving […]

Jeff Skinner Tallies Two Points in Shootout Loss

Buffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner tallied a goal and an assist in Monday night's 3-2 shootout loss to the Arizona Coyotes. It snapped a two-game pointless streak for Skinner which was his longest drought of the season. Jack Eichel was the other goalscorer for the Sabres, bring both his and Skinner's total to seven on […]

Andy Dalton's Tenure Ends

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was benched in favor of rookie QB Ryan Finley Tuesday. The Bengals are on a bye this week, and Finley will have two weeks to prepare for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. Finley is tall and lanky, but he hasn't displayed a big arm. He's also a 24-year-old rookie. […]

Jaylen Samuels On Track To Play In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels (knee) is "ready to go," in Week 9, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Samuels had to have his knee scoped after the Week 5 loss to Baltimore, and was out about a month. He was a full participant in last week’s practices, but the team held him out […]

Preston Williams Does Little on Monday Night

Keeping with the theme of his team, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams did little to help his fantasy owners on Monday night, finishing with just 42 yards on four receptions in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. All four of Williams receptions came in the first half, with his last catch of the […]

James Conner, Benny Snell Jr. Injury Updates

Pittsburgh Steelers running back's James Conner (shoulder) and Benny Snell Jr. (knee) will be limited in practice this week, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Conner suffered an AC joint sprain late in the fourth quarter of Monday's 27-14 win over Miami, whereas Snell went down earlier in the contest. Losing Conner would be a […]

Mark Walton Ineffective in Loss

After starting his last three games, and with teammate Kenyan Drake being traded to the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton had an opportunity to claim the backfield for himself in a Monday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This claim ended up mostly empty as Walton finished with only 35 yards on […]

Roman Josi Inks Big Extension With Nashville

Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi signed an eight-year, $72.472 million (average annual value of $9.059 million) to remain in the Music City on Tuesday. The Swiss native is currently finishing up the final season of his seven-year contract and was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Josi's new deal includes a full […]

Falcons Release Matt Bryant, Sign Younghoe Koo

The Atlanta Falcons have released kicker Matt Bryant. Bryant had been with the Falcons since 2009, but he made just nine of his 14 field goals this season, also missing one of his 15 extra point attempts. In a corresponding move, the team signed kicker Younghoe Koo, last seen in a real NFL game as […]
