Odell Beckham Jr. a WR3 Against Baltimore

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. draws a difficult Week 16 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore's pass defense ranks fourth in the league in DVOA while Beckham is putting the finishing touches on a disappointing first season with the Browns. Beckham projects to draw primary coverage from Marcus Peters, who has played at […]

Kareem Hunt a Solid Flex Option in Week 16

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt draws a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Baltimore has been stingy against running backs this season, allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Hunt does most of his damage in the passing game as he has operated as Cleveland's […]

Jets Defense Not Recommended Sunday

The New York Jets Defense may be getting Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams (ankle) back ahead of a "home" game vs the Steelers, but they are still not an attractive unit to start in your fantasy championship. The Jets, understandably, got gashed by Lamar Jackson and the Ravens last week but also played poorly vs […]

Nick Chubb a Solid RB2 in Week 16

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb draws a decent matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Chubb shredded the Ravens for 165 rushing yards and three touchdowns back when these two teams met in Week 4. That being said, the second-year running back should be treated as more of an RB2 for the fantasy […]

Baker Mayfield Hard to Trust in Week 16

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield draws a difficult matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Mayfield threw for 342 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding another rushing score when these two teams met back in Week 4. That being said, Baltimore's defense has improved significantly since these two teams first played. They […]

Don't Start Daniel Brown Or Trevon Wesco

New York Jets tight ends Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco will likely split snaps again this Sunday versus Pittsburgh, with Brown the one likely to see more work in the passing game. Brown and Wesco are third and fourth on the Jets depth chart with starter Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) and backup Ryan Griffin (ankle) […]

NFL DFS GPP Stacks for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 16)

Hey there RotoBallers! For those fortunate enough to be in the championship round in season-long formats, good luck this week! For those who missed the playoffs, DFS contests can be an excellent way to stay involved as the NFL regular season winds down. The Week 16 main slate will be a bit thinner than usual […]

Ondrej Palat Ends Dry Spell With Two-Point Performance

Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Ondrej Palat produced a two-point performance in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Dallas, scoring the team's third goal and picking up an assist on Mikhail Sergachev's power-play marker. Alex Killorn also scored a power-play goal in the contest. Palat ended a seven-game point drought, and he's actually been in miserable […]

Jamison Crowder Startable Despite Tough Matchup

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder exploded for 90 yards and two touchdowns last week in Baltimore and is a startable option again this week despite another tough AFC North opponent. Pittsburgh is a daunting matchup, but Crowder has gotten at least seven targets in four of his last five games including a team-high […]

Golden Tate Better With Daniel Jones Under Center

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will see a boost in value this week with the return of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones. With Jones under center, Tate sees three to five more targets a game. However, that number hovers around six total targets in games where all three wide receivers are active. The game figures […]

Darius Slayton Will Be Big-Play Dependent

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will be big-play dependent when the team takes on a Redskins secondary that ranks 13th in PPR points allowed to wide receivers. With all Giants wide receivers healthy, Slayton sees between 17-20% of the team targets, which likely won't be a lot in a game that figures to […]

Le'Veon Bell Faces Tough Matchup In Revenge Game

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell likely circled Sunday's matchup with the Steelers the day it was announced, but will face an uphill battle to find fantasy production vs his former team. Pittsburgh has one of the strongest defenses in the league allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. Bell, on the […]

Anton Khudobin Produces 45-Save Performance Thursday Night

Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin coughed up three goals on Thursday against the Lightning, but he still impressed and helped the team to a 4-3 overtime victory with 45 saves. The Russian was beaten twice on the power play in the opening frame, but he bounced back superbly to improve his record for the season […]

Sterling Shepard A Risky Option On Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will be a risky option for fantasy championships on Sunday. The Redskins Defense is only 13th in PPR points allowed to running backs, and Shepard has hovered about 25% of the target share with Daniel Jones under center since Shepard returned from his concussion. With Washington a run-heavy […]

Tyler Seguin Pots Game-Winner In Overtime

Dallas Stars center Tyler Seguin scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory against Tampa, joining Alexander Radulov, Radek Faksa and Jason Dickinson on the scoresheet. He also tallied a power-play assist on Radulov's goal. The Russian finished the game with a goal and an assist as well, while John Klingberg put his multi-point […]

Sam Darnold An Unappealing Option In Week 16

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has limited the turnovers that plagued him earlier in the season, but is still not producing at a level that would make him a strong play in fantasy. Darnold has eclipsed 300 passing yards just once in his last nine games and has more than two touchdowns just once […]

Saquon Barkley Looking To Keep Rolling

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will look to keep his momentum from the Dolphins win when the Giants take on the Redskins on Sunday. Washington ranks 26th in PPR points allowed to running backs, and Saquon looked explosive again last week, with some jump cuts and change of direction that we hadn't seen […]

Daniel Jones Set To Return In Solid Streaming Spot

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) will return from a two-week absence to take on the Redskins on Sunday. Even though Evan Engram (foot) is on the IR, Jones will have a solid cast of weapons to throw to against a defense that ranks 20th against the pass. The game currently has an over/under […]

Jabari Parker Notches 23 Points In Thursday's Loss

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker had one of his best games of the season in Thursday's loss to Utah, scoring 23 points on 10-for-16 shooting in 24 minutes off the bench. He was also close to his third double-double of the season with nine rebounds, adding five assists and one steal. Parker was one of […]

Trae Young Gets 30 Points Despite Bad Shooting Night

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young shot a measly 9-for-28 from the field on Thursday, but he still ended up with 30 points in a 111-106 loss to Utah. He added eight assists, five rebounds and one steal to his line that also included two turnovers. Young, who was 3-for-11 from deep, is averaging 28.2 […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Sees Double-Double Slip Away

Utah Jazz small forward Bojan Bogdanovic got very close to his first double-double of the season on Thursday, finishing a 111-106 win over the Hawks with 19 points and nine rebounds. Bogdanovic went into the game after recording back-to-back 30-point outings, but cooled down considerably, shooting only 6-for-16 from the field and 1-for-6 from downtown. […]

Rudy Gobert Collects 11th Straight Double-Double

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert eased his way to another double-double in Thursday's win over Atlanta, recording 20 points and 13 rebounds. He shot 5-for-9 from the field, and he was kept very busy at the line where he shot 10-for-19. Gobert's stat sheet also included three blocks and three turnovers. The Frenchman is on […]

Donovan Mitchell Enjoys 30-Point Night Against Atlanta

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell continued his recent good scoring streak with a 30-point effort on Thursday against Atlanta, finishing a 111-106 win with 30 points on 12-for-22 shooting. He also recorded five rebounds, five assists and one steal with four turnovers. Mitchell shot just 1-for-6 from deep, so it could've easily been an even […]

Travis Konecny, Philly Embarrass Buffalo 6-1

Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny had three helpers in a 6-1 defeat of the Buffalo Sabres. He now has eight points in his last six games. With 32 points in 32 games, Konecny is now on pace to shatter his career-high in points which was set last season at 49. James van Riemsdyk had two […]

Semyon Varlamov, Islanders Score A 3-2 Shootout Victory

The Thursday night game between two strong clubs saw the New York Islanders defeat the Boston Bruins 3-2 in the shootout. Jordan Eberle and Mathew Barzal lit the lamp for New York in the shootout. Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov turned away 27 of the 29 shots he saw and weathered through five power-play opportunities for […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks For Week 16 (12/22/19)

Rough week to return to picking games as almost everything I predicted, the opposite happened but you'll have these weekends in sports betting. Tampa Bay wasn't far off from hitting the game total themselves, while Pittsburgh really dropped the ball at home against Buffalo. Thanks for reading and best of luck this week! Week 15 […]

Matt Duchene Records Two Assists In Thursday's Loss

Nashville Predators center Matt Duchene provided two assists in his team's 5-4 loss to the Senators on Thursday. Duchene now has 15 assists to go along with eight goals over 33 games this year. He's third on the Predators in assists behind defensemen Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis, the latter of whom also recorded two […]

Jean-Gabriel Pageau Tallies Three Assists On Thursday

Ottawa Senators center Jean-Gabriel Pageau helped lead the team to a 5-4 victory over the Predators on Thursday. Pageau recorded a game-high three points, all assists. He now has 11 assists to go along with 16 goals over 36 games this year. Pageau is on pace for a career-best season. His best scoring year to […]

Anthony Duclair Nets Game-Winner Versus Predators

Ottawa Senators left wing Anthony Duclair kept his red-hot December going on Thursday night as he scored an overtime game-winner to lift the Senators over the Predators 5-4. Duclair also added an assist in the game. It's been a fantastic month for Duclair as he now has nine goals and two assists in nine games. […]
