Sterling Shepard Expected To Clear Concussion Protocol Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard appeared at practice on Thursday without a yellow jersey, signaling that he has completed his progression through the league's concussion protocol. The return of the team's top wide receiver is obviously good news for new starting quarterback Daniel Jones and might also help take some defensive attention away […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: We've all heard about how frustrating the New England Patriots' backfield can be for fantasy football purposes.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered a major loss in Week 1 as Nick Foles broke his collarbone.

Falcons Defense Not A Strong Starting Option For Week 3

The Falcons Defense had a surprisingly strong showing in Week 2 against the Eagles in their home opener, sacking quarterback Carson Wentz three times while also forcing two interceptions and holding the Eagles to 20 points in the game.

Justice Hill (RB, BAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, one of my favorite rookie running backs outside of the “big three” was and still is, Justice Hill. He is quick and elusive. He’s got great hands and possesses that home run type of ability where he’s […]

Matt Bryant A Solid Starting Option For Week 3

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant should have the opportunity to put up some points in Week 3 against the Colts. After not attempting a kick in Week 1, Bryant had two field goal attempts and three extra-point attempts in Week 2. He hit all three of his extra-point attempts and went 1-for-2 on field goals, […]

Ito Smith Not A Starting Option In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has shown some positive signs through two games this season. He's carried the ball ten times for 63 yards, good for 6.3 yards per carry, which is far superior than the average of Falcons lead running back Devonta Freeman, who is averaging just 2.2 yards per carry. Still, it's […]

Chris Conley Is Risky Week 3 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley has gotten off to a good start in 2019, with 12 targets through two games. But Conley is also dealing with a hip injury and faces a Titans Defense that has mostly held opposing wide receivers in check to start the season, a pair of things that don't bode […]

Mohamed Sanu A Risky Start In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu has nine catches on 13 targets through two games, which is encouraging to see. However, he's been primarily targeted on short-yardage plays. He has just 73 yards on those nine catches, good for only 8.1 yards per reception. Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are the big playmakers in the […]

Austin Hooper A Viable TE1 Starter In Week 3

D.J. Chark Has Upside In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark faces a tough Week 3 test against the Tennessee Titans, but his rapport with quarterback Gardner Minshew and his ability to be used as a deep threat make him the Jacksonville wide receiver with the highest upside. He's also got a low floor, and that volatility is likely to […]

Calvin Ridley A Reliable WR2 In Week 3

It's been a flawless start to the season for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who has scored touchdowns in each of his first two games and totalled 169 receiving yards. He should continue to produce for his owners in Week 3 as the Falcons take on the Colts. Ridley was targeted ten times in […]

Devonta Freeman Still A Worthy RB2 Start

It's been a nightmare start to the season for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. Through two games, Freeman has carried the ball 19 times for just 41 yards, while adding six catches for 54 yards. The receiving numbers are a nice little boost, but his 2.2 yards-per-carry average is atrocious. The Vikings and Eagles, […]

Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you recall back to the 2018 season, there was a brief period towards the end of the year where Gus Edwards was very useful for fantasy purposes. In Week 11, he was named the starter and put up 115 yards and […]

KeeSean Johnson (WR, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Arizona Cardinals have been one of the most talked-about teams during this past off-season.

Bennie Fowler (WR, NYG) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Giants might have one of the most depleted groups of receivers in the NFL right now. Sterling Shepard missed time with a concussion in Week 2 and is looking like he'll be inactive again in Week 3 on the […]

Dede Westbrook Could Remain In Slump

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has had a rough start to the year. If you remove a 15-yard Week 1 touchdown from the equation, Westbrook's other plays look like this: 10 targets, five receptions, 16 yards. Quarterback Gardner Minshew isn't delivering the ball deep to Westbrook and is spreading out his targets among the […]

Chris Conley (WR, JAX) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered a big loss to their offense in Week 1 after Nick Foles broke his collarbone.

Julio Jones Primed For Another Big Week

Matt Ryan Should Be Reliable Starter In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has five touchdowns and five interceptions through two games. He's been over 300 yards in each game this season and has a good chance to keep that streak going this week against the Colts. The Falcons' run game has yet to show any signs of life, forcing Ryan to throw […]

Cole Beasley A Low-End Option In PPR Leagues

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley caught all four of his targets in Week 2 and produced 83 receiving yards on the day. It was a significant target decrease from his nine targets in Week 1, but it was nonetheless inspiring to see him turn in a solid performance despite the low target-share. Expect him […]
