Antonio Andrews Named Starter for Rest of 2015

  OWNED IN: 40% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There probably won't be many weeks this season where Andrews faces a defense nearly as bad as the Saints, but at least when he does you can be sure that he'll be startable.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James Starks has been able to outplay top five fantasy pick Eddie Lacy this season - and although it seemed like Lacy had returned last week, Starks was quick to re-establish himself as the best option for the Packers after he was […]

Karlos Williams Continues to Reward Owners

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Karlos Williams has been one of the biggest surprises in this year's rookie RB crop. He came out of the draft with nearly no hype (in fact, most of what I've seen on him was negative) and barely saw his stock rise […]

Brantley Undergoes Shoulder Surgery: Out Till May

Michael Brantley will be sidelined between five and six months after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder Monday morning. The Cleveland Indians outfielder will likely miss all of Spring Training and potentially the first month of the 2016 season after he suffered a slight labrum tear when diving for a ball in September. This isn’t […]

Cowboys Lose In Spite of Stellar Play By Matt Cassel and Dez Bryant

Since Tony Romo left the Dallas Cowboy’s Week 2 matchup early against the Philadelphia Eagles with a broken clavicle, his team has struggled to find any sort of offensive rhythm. Whether it's been Brandon Weeden or Matt Cassel under center, things simply haven’t worked out. That said, the Cowboys were able to take away a positive or two from […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Eric Decker And Co. Lead The Jets To Victory

Questions swirled last week after Ryan Fitzpatrick sustained ligament damage in his left, non-throwing hand in the Jets 20-34 loss against the Raiders, about whether or not he would be able to go in Sunday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Well, not only did Fitzpatrick play on Sunday, but he played well in the Jets […]

LeGarrette Blount, Brandon Lafell Help Tom Brady Remain Undefeated

The Patriots are undoubtedly the most mercurial team in the NFL. Despite the fact that the result at the end of the game is almost always a win, the way they get those wins vary from week to week. One week, the Patriots abandon the run, the next week, they employ a run-heavy strategy, and […]

Are The Cheeseheads Curdling? Eddie Lacy, James Jones, Randall Cobb & More

After starting 6-0, the Packers have lost two games in a row and their season is now very much in question. Since the preseason, Green Bay was going to have to overcome adversity as their star wideout Jordy Nelson went down with an ACL injury. Despite this, fans and analysts alike were confident that Aaron […]

Peyton Manning and Eli Manning: Evaluating the Brothers From Here on Out

Peyton and Eli Manning are the most successful brothers in the history of the NFL, but at this stage of their respective careers, they are heading in separate directions. At one point in his career, it would have been laughable to even consider sitting Peyton in a fantasy league. On the other hand, his brother […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Centers (Week 3)

The third week of the NBA season is about to get started. Through two weeks, the center position has been dominated by a lot of newcomers.

Week 10 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota & Kirk Cousins

Week 9 saw Tyrod Taylor deliver an acceptable performance. It wasn’t great, but I’ll take 15 points from a QB streamer any week. Meanwhile I should have expected it, but Kirk Cousins was disappointing. My options at 25% or less were Johnny Manziel, Blaine Gabbert and Matt Cassel. There was no chance I was starting […]

Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley Provide Top-Tier Fantasy Value In Cowboys’ Week 9 Loss

Needless to say, the Dallas Cowboys have struggled to generate much of an offense under quarterback Matt Cassel. In spite of a Week 9 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, however, there are a handful of positive takeaways from how "America’s team" performed out on the open field. Sure, the running game was better. Yes, […]

Week 9 Monday Night Football Analysis: Fantasy Matchups We Love and Hate

Monday Night Matchups Analysis Bears @ Chargers Matchups we love: Stevie Johnson, WR, Chargers - San Diego will be looking to replace Keenan Allen's 11 targets a game.

Antonio Brown Has A Record Setting Performance, Roethlisberger Hurt Again

As all of Antonio Brown's owners know, his performance is directly linked to the presence of Ben Roethlisberger. When Roethlisberger is at the helm, Brown is essentially guaranteed to give you a solid, if not extraordinary performance. Without Roethlisberger though, Brown's production dips significantly. With that being said, at the conclusion of Sunday's game between […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/9/15

Two Detroit Pistons comprise part of my lineup, neither of which are the sizzling Andre Drummond. Different lineups with different players on back-to-back days often equals success, no matter how tempting it is to continuously pick guys like Drummond. I've been drooling over double-doubles lately, focusing heavily on guys that constantly teeter around one; or […]

Darren McFadden and DeMarco Murray Post Triple-Digits on Sunday Night

The Week 9 fixture between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles was thought to be a battle between the lame and downtrodden. Both teams were entering the game with poor quarterback play and losing records, and the end result was truly anybody’s best guess. Though the Eagles would ultimately outlast the Cowboys in an overtime victory, […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 11/9/15

Daily fantasy basketball happens to be one of the most predictable fantasy sports that there is.

I will provide a top play […]

LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams Ground and Pound the Bills to Victory

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan has been known to have an affinity for the "ground and pound" style--a style that is predicated around having a strong running game and strong defense. Though many believe that the days of needing a strong running game to win in the NFL are over (see: Patriots, New England), it […]

Reuben Randle, Ronnie Hillman & Brandon Marshall All Expected to Play

According to Ian Rapaport, Giants wide receiver Reuben Randle is playing today despite his injured hamstring. With Randle in the lineup quarterback Eli Manning should get a boost, and it should help keep some of the attention away from Odell Beckham Jr. Rain is expected in the Tampa Bay area this afternoon, so even though it […]
