Cody Latimer Ruled Out for Broncos

Denver Broncos wide receiver Cody Latimer has been ruled out for the team's Week 5 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. The young receiver suffered a groin injury against the Minnesota Vikings last week. Latimer has every little fantasy football value, especially in redraft leagues. When the Broncos took Latimer with their second round pick in […]

Victor Cruz Out Again

When it comes to fantasy football there are always a lot of unknowns. But one thing that's starting to become a certainty is Victor Cruz's availability (or lack there of). The wide receiver has been ruled out yet again. Cruz is officially out indefinitely with no timetable for a return. Considering the team has yet […]

Julio Jones Listed as Questionable for Week 5

Atlanta Falcons stud wide receiver Julio Jones is questionable for Week 5 against the Washington Redskins. The receiver is currently dealing with a toe and hamstring injury. Although Jones is nicked up, this isn;t the first time he has appeared on the Falcons injury report and it likely won't be his last. However, all indications […]

Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Breakout Rookie Candidates?

Duke Johnson had a rough start to the year after a lot of preseason hype. In the first three weeks of the season, he had 23 carries for just 68 yards. However, it seems that the Browns coaches learned something important recently: Johnson can catch the football, very well. In Week Three, Johnson had six […]

Sammie Coates (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Breakout Rookie Candidates?

Sammie Coates, out of the University of Auburn, is a little bit more of a diamond buried deep in the rough. Coates has only been in two games, and in the first game he was targeted zero times against the Rams. However, under the tutelage of the new starting quarterback, veteran Mike Vick, Coates saw two […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Breakout Rookie Candidates?

Jamison Crowder has received very little love and attention, maybe because he played his college football at Duke? In his first two weeks of play, Crowder received only two targets for just seven yards. In the last two weeks however, Kirk Cousins' trust in Crowder, and therefore Crowder's production, has skyrocketed. In Week Three, Crowder […]

Karlos Williams Ruled Out for Week 5

Many people thought Buffalo Bills running back Karlos Williams would shine with LeSean McCoy out of action. Unfortunately, Willaims has now been ruled out of action himself after suffering a concussion in Week 4. With Williams out of action, the Bills will turn to Anthony "Boobie" Dixon. Since the Bills have nobody else to line […]

DeSean Jackson and Jordan Reed Ruled Out Week 5

Both wide receiver DeSean Jackson and tight end Jordan Reed have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Jackson has been dealing with a hamstring injury while Reed is recovering from a concussion. With Jackson out of action, Jamison Crowder will continue to start opposite of Pierre Garcon. Crowder can be considered […]

Is Maxx Williams A Deeper Week 5 Lineup Sleeper?

This may have been a player that a lot of people took the chance in Week 4 after seeing the production fellow TE Crockett Gilmore was able to produce before he got hurt. Unfortunately, Williams was a dud (two catches, 17 yards). Williams was the first tight end off the board in the 2015 NFL Draft for […]

Is Willie Snead A Deeper Week 5 Lineup Sleeper?

It is amazing that this guy is only owned in 17% of Fleaflicker leagues at this point of the season. Coming into the season, the Saints were expected to be very thin at WR, with the exception of Brandin Cooks. Marques Colston and Brandon Coleman were supposed to be the second and third options for […]

Is Anthony Dixon A Deeper Week 5 Lineup Sleeper?

Similarly to last week, this pick is dependent on injuries. It is almost a given as of Thursday that both Karlos Williams (concussion) and LeSean McCoy (hamstring) will be sitting out on Sunday. The next back up is Boobie Dixon (and Daniel Herron, who was just signed). Dixon has not seen the field much this […]

David Johnson (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Sell Candidates?

A receiving TD bolstered Johnson’s point total in Week 4 and somewhat masked the fact that the rookie had a rough game and only managed 18 yards on the ground. Now with Andre Ellington set to return and Chris Johnson firmly atop the depth chart, David may not have much of an offensive role moving […]

Vincent Jackson (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

A 20 point fantasy week in Week 4 has Jackson 23rd among receivers thus far in 2015, but that solid outing may have a bittersweet flavor to it. Simply put, Jackson scored only four points the week before. It’s that kind of inconsistency that has plagued the towering receiver throughout his career, and 2015 hasn’t […]

Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Fantasy Football Sell Candidates?

Randle accrued only 26 yards on 11 carries on Sunday night, but managed to find the end-zone for the fourth time in the last two weeks. The other three of those TDs came in Week 3 when the Atlanta Falcons forgot how to play defense, and that week alone has greatly inflated Randle’s numbers. Aside […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Double digits in the first couple of weeks seems like a long lost memory after Matthews was held to 50 yards or less in both weeks since. A solid Washington secondary held the Eagles’ top receiver to only three catches for 50 yards on Sunday, a yard more than Matthews managed against the Jets the […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

It’s starting to look less and less like the Seahawks are even aware that they traded for Graham this off-season. The once record setting tight-end had only four catches for 29 yards on Monday night, his second lowest output of the season. Graham has only caught 18 balls now in four games, an average of […]

Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Megatron threw up another lackluster performance on Monday night, his third in four games this season. Things would have looked better if it weren’t for the bang-bang play at the goal-line with Kam Chancellor erasing a potential game-winning touchdown. He still only managed 56 yards on seven catches, though, and it’s beginning to look like father […]

Alshon Jeffery Sits Out of Practice on Friday

It doesn't look like Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will be ready to return in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. His hamstring injury must have flared up because he was held out of practice completely on Friday. This comes after Jeffery was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday and Thursday. […]

Tevin Coleman to Steal Devonta Freeman's Thunder?

No running back has been more impressive that Atlanta Falcons' Devonta Freeman during the past couple of weeks. With rookie Tevin Coleman out with a rib injury, Freeman has taken advantage of his playing time and dominated opposing defenses. But when both backs were healthy in Week 1, it was Coleman who seemed to be […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Tight Ends Showing Warning Signals

Things with Graham's transition over to the Seattle Seahawks haven't gone nearly as planned. Whether Graham is frustrated with his role, or just not getting the targets that he probably should, his fantasy stock isn't something that you can rely on. Through four games, Graham has been the definition of hit-or-miss. In Week 1, he […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, CIN) - Tight Ends Showing Warning Signals?

It's not so much that Eifert himself is doing anything wrong, it's more that Andy Dalton is just looking at other players, specifically A.J. Green. While Green started the season off slow, he's caught 17 balls for 309 yards and two scores over the past two weeks. Yes, 227 of those yards and both scores came […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals?

Through the first three weeks of the 2015 NFL season, Luck looked absolutely nothing like the player we saw back in 2014 who threw for 4,761 yards and 40 touchdowns with only 16 interceptions. Instead, Luck began his 2015 campaign by throwing for an average of 251 yards per game, with five touchdowns and seven interceptions through […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals?

For a minute there, Flacco had us thinking that he had bounced back to the "good Flacco." After posting back-to-back 350-plus passing yard games against the Oakland Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals (while throwing four touchdowns against two interceptions), Flacco fell backwards in Week 4. He threw for just 189 yards, with one touchdown and one […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals

Tannehill may not be belittling teammate's paychecks, but he did admit to ripping the players on the scout squad, according to James Walker of ESPN. Not your finest moment, Ryan. While the off-field drama is one thing, the fact that the Miami Dolphins have now fired Joe Philbin puts Tannehill in an interesting situation. He may not […]

Daily Fantasy College Football - DraftKings CFB DFS Picks for 10/10 (early)

Going into Week 6 in College Football, try not to let your passions or bias in many of the upcoming rivalry games deplete your bank account. Just as a losing team with more play-making components to their offense can produce more fantasy points than their victors who can ride 3rd and 4th downs into the […]
