Omri Casspi (SF, SAC) a Deep League Stud

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo! Fantasy Leagues ANALYSIS: Omri Casspi has been on a nice roll lately.

Michael Floyd and DeAndre Hopkins Sidelined; Julio Jones to Be Shadowed

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd remained sidelined during Thursday’s practice with a hamstring injury.

Jeremy Langford is a RB1 Until Matt Forte Returns

When Matt Forte went down with a knee injury in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, rookie running back Jeremy Langford was thought to be the man to step into the starting position.

Fantasy Stock Up? Eli Manning, LeSean McCoy, Michael Floyd, Gary Barnidge

Eli Manning - QB, New York Giants Manning and the Giants came very close to beating the New England Patriots on Sunday, and even though they lost, Eli Manning gets to go into the bye week on a personal high note.

Benching T.Y. Hilton or Calvin Johnson. Should it Happen?

This late in the season, it’s difficult to bench anyone you drafted early, as if this sudden failure will seep into your lineup. Honestly, it’s not about then, but about now. How affective can a player be for you now, regardless of performances in previous weeks? T.Y. Hilton leads the Indianapolis Colts in targets but has […]

Thursday Night Matchups: Allen Hurns, Julius Thomas, Delanie Walker & More

Hearing that the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars have the premier Thursday Night Football time slot would usually draw yawns in years past, but there should be points aplenty this time around.

Frank Gore No Longer Limited, Amari Cooper to Be Shadowed and Christine Michael Goes Unclaimed

It seems like Indianapolis Colts running back Frank Gore has been around forever. When he was with the San Francisco 49ers he was one of the best running back in all of football for several seasons, but flew under the radar most of the time. Now that he’s 32, it’s clear he’s not as good […]

Blakes Bortles or Marcus Mariota?

Tonight’s Thursday night matchup isn’t exactly DVR-worthy, but it will showcase some of the finest young talent in the NFL. Despite the record of both teams, there are playoff implications attached. The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6) are very much alive in a close but sloppy AFC South race, only a game behind the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts […]

Week 11 Running Back Depth Charts: Jeremy Langford, Charcandrick West, Jay Ajayi and More

Frankly, Week 10 featured a slew of feeble performances from the running back position. It is understandable, considering three of the league's top-10 scoring backs were absent due to their teams' respective byes (Freeman, Gore and Woodhead). The strange part is that the two top scorers of the week were both former backups for star running […]
