BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, one of my favorite wide receivers to target late was rookie Deebo Samuel of the San Francisco 49ers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: We all know just how valuable handcuffs can be in fantasy football.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, one of the more popular breakout candidates was the San Francisco 49ers Dante Pettis.

Josh Rosen (QB, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A thing that I'm always hesitant to admit is that I'm still a Josh Rosen believer.

Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz made it three goals in three games on Sunday, scoring a pair in a 4-3 loss to Detroit. Tyler Seguin also found himself on the scoresheet as the Stars suffered their third consecutive loss. It's been a very rough start for the team, but Hintz, who had 22 points in […]

Titans Defense Plays Well Despite Loss

The Tennessee Titans Defense limited Josh Allen to 219 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5. While the Titans did manage to record an interception, Tennessee did most of the work by getting to Allen four times on the day. The Titans remain one of the best defensive units in the league and are currently […]

Tajae Sharpe Continues To Do Nothing

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe finished with just one reception for 12 yards against Buffalo in Week 5. With the Bills Defense pummeling Marcus Mariota by recording five sacks on the day, nobody outside of Derrick Henry was able to do much. The 24-year-old should be left off of fantasy teams, at least for […]

Corey Davis Continues To Disappoint

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was quiet in Week 5, finishing with just two catches for 28 yards in the loss to the Bills. This has been the norm for the 24-year-old throughout the season as he has only 13 receptions (22 targets) for 201 yards and a score after having a decent 2018 […]

Cairo Santos Misses All Four Field Goals

Tennessee Titans kicker Cairo Santos missed all four field goal attempts on Sunday against Buffalo. With the team's offense unable to get anything going as a result of a rough Bills Defense, the 27-year-old fizzled when he was needed the most. Santos has five misses on the year and hasn't done much to earn a […]

Adam Humphries Brings In Four Receptions

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries finished with 30 yards on four receptions on Sunday. Outside of Derrick Henry, who finished with the team's only touchdown in Week 5, the offense wasn't able to get anything going as Marcus Mariota faced an onslaught of pressure from a tough Bills Defense. After hauling in six catches for […]

A.J. Brown Nearly Scores Against Buffalo

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown had two receptions for 27 yards during the loss to the Bills. While he almost scored off of a toss from Marcus Mariota early in the fourth quarter, it was called back after officials determined that the veteran quarterback was over the line of scrimmage. Brown currently leads the […]

Dion Lewis Does Little Against Buffalo

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis had two carries for 11 yards to go along with two receptions for 19 yards during the 14-7 loss to Buffalo on Sunday. With the Bills Defense recording five sacks, while pressing quarterback Marcus Mariota throughout the day, nobody outside of Derrick Henry got anything going in Week 5, […]

Delanie Walker Targeted Twice Against Buffalo

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker hauled in just one reception (two targets) for 10 yards during the loss to Buffalo on Sunday. With the Bills Defense making life miserable for Marcus Mariota, the offense had trouble getting production out of anyone outside of Derrick Henry, who finished with 78 yards and a score on […]

Derrick Henry Accounts For Titans Only Score

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry provided the only source of scoring against a tough Bills Defense on Sunday, finishing things up with 78 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. As Marcus Mariota faced constant pressure and kicker Cairo Santos missing all four of his field goal attempts, Henry provided a small spark for […]

Marcus Mariota Held In Check By Buffalo

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota had a miserable performance against Buffalo in Week 5. With the Bills Defense recording five sacks on the day, the 25-year-old wasn't able to get anything going, finishing with 183 yards on 13-for-22 passing. Though Mariota nearly threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to A.J. Brown early in the fourth quarter, […]

Chase McLaughlin Makes A Pair Of FGs

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Chase McLaughlin did pretty well in his first action with the team on Sunday. McLaughlin got off to a rough start when his first field goal attempt as a Charger was tipped at the line of scrimmage and fell well short of the uprights, but he composed himself and knocked two […]

Desmond King Returns Punt For TD

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Desmond King provided one of the only bright spots for Chargers fans on Sunday afternoon. At the end of the third quarter, King hauled a Broncos punt through traffic around his own 40-yard line and broke free. He roasted a pair of Broncos in a foot race and crossed the goal […]

Keenan Allen Shut Down By Denver

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was completely held in check by the Denver Broncos Defense on Sunday. Allen tallied four catches for just 18 yards, and 17 yards of that came on his first two catches of the game. It was clear that Denver made a point of removing Allen from the game, […]

Mike Williams Catches Six Passes Against Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams got a boost in his production on Sunday since Keenan Allen was blanketed throughout the day, and he was able to haul in six passes in the loss. Unfortunately, that was less than half the times he was targeted, but it was still good for 74 yards receiving. […]

Austin Ekeler Racks Up 15 Catches

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was pushed aside for Melvin Gordon this week, but after Gordon proved to be ineffective on the ground, the team turned back to Ekeler to keep them in the game. He proved up to the task. While Ekeler only carried the ball three times for seven yards on […]

Melvin Gordon Looked Rusty In First Game Back

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon got his first crack on Sunday, and he certainly looked like he hadn't played any football in months. Gordon carried the ball 12 times for just 31 yards, and he regularly struggled to make any headway through the line. The coaching staff and teammates seemed excited about Gordon's […]

Philip Rivers Throws Two INTs Against Denver

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has really struggled against the Broncos over the last two seasons. For the third straight game against Denver, Rivers threw a pair of interceptions. The Chargers lost, and poor play by Rivers played a pretty big role in that. Rivers averaged just 4.4 yards per attempt in the game, […]

Harrison Butker Notches Two Field Goals in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker surprisingly produced most of their points in the loss to the Colts in Week 5. Butker knocked down both his field goals and the single extra point in the 19-13 loss. The Chiefs usually have a high powered offense, so Butker produces more fantasy points. Butker did his job […]
