Michael Brantley Rides Hot Streak Into Game 4

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is streaking at the plate right now and will try to keep it going into Game 4 of the World Series. Brantley went 2-for-4 with two RBI-singles in Game 3 and the veteran is now 6-for-15 (.400) over his last four playoff games. After a slow start to his postseason, […]

Keenan Allen A Low-End WR1 For Chicago Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is a low-end WR1 this week in his matchup against Chicago, assuming that he plays. Allen has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has limited his participation in practice, and he likely will be a game-time decision. However, if he is able to play, then he should […]

Austin Ekeler Has Flex Consideration Against Chicago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler should be considered as a flex option for his matchup against the Chicago Bears. Ekeler has seen a reduction in carries since Melvin Gordon returned to the team, but he still has been heavily involved in the passing game. The Chicago Bears have given up an average of […]

Melvin Gordon Could Be In Line For Big Performance

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon could be in line for a big performance against the Chicago Bears this week. Gordon hasn't performed well since his return from his early-season holdout, due in part to the struggles of the offensive line, but this game offers a get-right opportunity. The Chargers are set to welcome […]

Drew Brees Expected to Start in Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) is expected to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals "barring an unforeseen setback". Teddy Bridgewater did an excellent job in place of Brees, but all Saints skill position players will get a nice uptick in value with Brees under center. The Saints have a bye week next […]

Philip Rivers A Borderline Streaming Option Against Chicago

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is a borderline streaming option for his matchup against the Chicago Bears. Rivers is likely to welcome his starting left tackle Russell Okung (heart) back for the first time this season, and crucially the Chicago Bears Defense isn't the same without defensive tackle Akiem Hicks. However, the Bears have […]

Jake Kumerow Has Fantasy Value In Deep Leagues This Week

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow has fantasy value in deep leagues in Week 8, but only if things break his way. During the preseason, Kumerow seemed to be the next man up for the Packers if any of their receivers missed time, but it has been Allen Lazard who has seen more of […]

Allen Lazard Has Value Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard has value in deeper leagues this week against the Kansas City Chiefs due to injured receivers on the team. Davante Adams (toe) has missed the past two matchups and is doubtful for this one, vacating targets for the offense. Lazard played the most snaps among receivers last week and […]

Fantasy Running Back Failures - Joe Mixon, Damien Williams, David Montgomery

The running back remains the most coveted player in fantasy football. In the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC), nine of the first 14 players drafted on average were running backs. In most leagues, you must start at least two RBs, and you can start a third at a flex spot. The position is regarded as […]

Rhett Ellison Not Playable On Sunday

New York Giants back-up tight end Rhett Ellison isn’t playable on Sunday with Evan Engram (knee) still in the lineup. Ellison may have caught a touchdown last week, but the Cardinals game was sloppy and Engram was only in his first game back. Ellison may be an interesting stash in deeper leagues if the Giants […]

Daniel Jones Has Good Matchup on Sunday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has another positive matchup on Sunday versus the Lions. The Lions secondary will be short-handed with Darius Slay out and Quandre Diggs traded, which should open up opportunities for Jones. The rookie hasn’t been particularly good since his first start against Tampa Bay, so he’s not on the streaming […]

Chris Conley Isn't Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley was targeted eight times in Week 7, catching three passes for 83 yards. But between Week 3 and Week 6, Conley had a combined four receptions for 73 yards, and one strong week doesn't change the fact that Conley is the fourth option on a team that doesn't pass […]

D.J. Chark Has Risk In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark finished third on the team in targets in Week 7, a potential sign that his role as the team's top receiver is being threatened by Dede Westbrook. Chark's been a solid fantasy option this year because he's scored five touchdowns, but he's also finished with under 50 receiving yards […]

Dede Westbrook Is Back To Being Solid Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook got off to a slow start this year, but he's been targeted at least eight times in three straight games and is coming off his first 100-yard outing of the season. While the Jets are better against the pass than against the run, Westbrook's volume makes him a fine […]

Leonard Fournette Primed For Big Game

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is set to have a strong game on Sunday when the Jaguars host the New York Jets. The Jets allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs but have done a pretty good job against passing games, which sets Fournette up for a heavy workload. The […]

Gardner Minshew Doesn't Have Great Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew isn't a great option in single-quarterback leagues in Week 8 when the Jaguars face the New York Jets. New York allows the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and held Tom Brady to just one touchdown pass in Week 7. Minshew has just one passing touchdown over the past two […]

Browns Bench LT Greg Robinson

The Cleveland Browns have benched starting left tackle Greg Robinson ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots. Robinson is expected to be replaced in the starting lineup by Justin McCray this weekend, although Freddie Kitchens wouldn't tip his hand when asked. Robinson has drawn criticism from general manager John Dorsey this […]

Jarrett Allen Grabs 11 Boards

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen had 11 rebounds in Friday's win over the New York Knicks, but he continues to struggle offensively. Allen had four points on 2-for-6 shooting, and has looked lost in the paint on the offensive end this season. With backup center DeAndre Jordan showcasing his ability to finish lobs on Friday, […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Has 20 Points Off Bench

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie hasn't seen his role affected too much by Brooklyn's addition of point guard Kyrie Irving. Dinwiddie has taken double-digit shot attempts in each game this year and against the Knicks on Friday, Dinwiddie was 5-for-1 from the field for 20 points. He sunk eight free throws and added five assists. […]

Kyrie Irving's Strong Start Continues

It wasn't another 50-point game, but Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving was still the focal point offensively for the Nets on Friday as the team beat the New York Knicks. Irving put up 26 points on 8-for-19 shooting and added two rebounds and five assists. Irving should continue to lead the Nets in scoring […]

Julius Randle Has Double-Double Against Nets

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle scored 14 points on 5-for-15 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds in Friday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He was 0-for-2 from deep and turned the ball over six times, so it wasn't a great night for Randle. This is likely what we'll see this year on a Knicks team […]

Allonzo Trier Scores 22 Off Bench

New York Knicks guard Allonzo Trier was moved out of the starting lineup for Friday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets, but he responded by putting up a strong outing for the Knicks. Trier scored 22 points on 6-for-7 shooting, making three of his four attempts from long distance and adding in seven free throws. He […]

It's Week 8 of the 2019 fantasy football season, Rotoballers. And what a ride it's been. We've watched some rookies blossom right before our very eyes, while others have remained trapped in their cocoons. And that's okay.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets and Avoids

Disaster averted. The Bills found themselves trailing against the lowly Dolphins but pulled it out late.
