Bears Optimistic Jay Cutler Will Return to Lineup

According to ProFootballTalk, the Bears are optimistic that Jay Cutler will be able to start at home against the Oakland Raiders today. Many expected Jay Cutler to miss a few weeks with his hamstring injury, but he has looked good enough in the last few days for the Chicago coaching staff to believe he will return. […]

Demarco Murray Expected to Play Against Redskins, Usage Unknown

Despite being questionable, Adam Schefter has reported that Demarco Murray is expected to play in the Eagles matchup against the Washington Redksins today. Murray has struggled behind the Eagles offensive line in the first two games, running the ball 21 times for just 11 yards and a touchdown before missing Week 3 with a hamstring injury. With […]

Andrew Luck Out Against Jacksonville In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will not play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4. Luck has dealt with a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 3, and is apparently still bothered by it. He has been severely limited in practice all week, and what work he was able to get done was not enough […]

Arian Foster Starting, Immediately Becomes An RB1?

The time has finally arrived. Later today, Arian Foster is fully expected to make his 2015 debut for the Houston Texans and fantasy football owners. Those who drafted Foster, and have been patiently waiting, can now finally plug him into their Week 4 lineups. It's possible that Foster's work can be limited today, as the Texans […]

Eric Decker Active, Get Him In Your Fantasy Lineups

Eric Decker has officially been declared active for today's Week 4 game against the Miami Dolphins. This is great news for both the New York Jets, and fantasy football owners as well. If you own Decker, you should be starting him in any format - especially those in PPR leagues. He has shown he is […]

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

If it wasn’t for the Patriots steamrolling opposing defenses, we’d be talking a lot more about how good the Bengals offense has been this season. They’ve been dynamic down the field with 16 passes of 20+ yards on the season. Only the Cardinals have more through three games. Marvin Jones is a huge part of […]

Karlos Williams (RB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: LeSean McCoy may have to miss multiple games now. That's huge for Karlos Williams and his fantasy football owners. Although pegged as a back who didn't have a true role in the NFL, and was more of a swiss-army-knife than a feature back, Williams has been playing well […]

Ty Montgomery (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While Davante Adams owners were disappointed with his MNF dud (two targets, zero catches, left early after re-aggravating his ankle), WR-needy owners were thrilled to see a potential opening in the high-powered Green Bay offense. The main beneficiary would be Ty Montgomery, who […]

Odell Beckham, Randall Cobb - Week 4 Fantasy Dominators

Odell Beckham Jr. (at BUF) Pairing Odell Beckham Jr. with Eli Manning this week makes for a great combination in GPP formats. Beckham is the second most expensive WR on the board this week, but for good reason. So far this season, he has 19 receptions for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns. As I mentioned […]

Adrian Peterson, Carlos Hyde - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Adrian Peterson (at DEN) Adrian Peterson is one of the top running backs in the entire league right now, but that should of been obvious before the season started. A lot of people were concerned about Peterson after his miserable season last year, but he is proving to everyone that he should still be concerned one […]

Amari Cooper (WR, OAK) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Ranking in the top 10 in passing attempts, passing yards, and total offense per game, Oakland’s offense has really raced out of the gate. Top four draft pick and rookie phenom Amari Cooper has been a big part of that, with 31 targets already on the year. Cooper has been simply magnificent the last two […]

Michael Crabtree (WR, OAK) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

I am recommending Michael Crabtree two weeks in a row. Before you click that x button in the upper right hand side of your screen, allow me to explain. Crabtree was definitely disappointing in his last game against the Cleveland Browns, catching only four balls for 36 yards. However, he gets a fantastic matchup against […]

Joseph Randle, Karlos Williams - Week 4 Lineups Booms

Joseph Randle (at NO) It seems like it would be an injustice to disregard Joseph Randle this week against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are struggling on the defensive side of the ball right now, and the Cowboys are going to take their traveling "Joseph Randle Touchdown Show" into New Orleans. Last week, Randle […]

Jordan Reed, Martellus Bennett - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Jordan Reed (vs PHI) Without Gronkowski, the top TE play this week is Jordan Reed. Granted, Jimmy Graham had a solid game last week and makes for a good play on DFS sites with a low-ish price tag, but Reed is simply in a better spot in Washington. He is being very heavily targeted every week […]

My Top 10 Potential Busts for Week 4

Listen, not every column can be sunshine and rainbows.  We can tell you all about how Julio Jones will score 30 points because he's Julio Jones and of course he will.  Sometimes, you just have to face the grim reality that the players you drafted aren't as good as you thought they'd be (for me, […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 4)

After a miserable week 2, I bounced back going four for four in my picks this past week. All the big favorites won, with a couple small underdogs winning on the road. This the first week of the NFL season where BYEs start coming into play, with New England and Tennessee getting the week off. […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 4: Cameron Artis-Payne, Cecil Shorts, Gary Barnidge

Another week in and I hope everyone is doing better than me in their fantasy leagues this season. Going forward, I now have Dez Bryant, LeSean McCoy and Ben Roethlisberger riding the bench for at least the next couple weeks. I guess it was a good thing I traded for Larry Fitzgerald. If you are […]

Is It Time To Cut Bait On These Three Players?

Andre Johnson – WR, IND FootballOutsiders has DVOA (defense adjusted value over average) and DYAR (defense adjusted yards above replacement) grades for 74 WRs to date. They have Johnson graded as the 74th receiver in both DVOA & DYAR.  His 7-51-0 line through three weeks looks as unimpressive on paper as Johnson looked earning it. With […]

Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Jordan Matthews - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Jordan Matthews, WR, Eagles Don’t be discouraged by last week’s dud, Jordan Matthews was stuck on Revis Island. This week, against a much more forgiving Redskins passing defense, expect Matthews to return to his Week 1 and Week 2 form. The Skins have surrendered four touchdowns and 380 yards to receivers in three games. Matthews will be […]

Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Cam Newton, QB, Panthers Seven total touchdowns against just two turnovers has Cam Newton looking like an early MVP candidate. While the Buccaneers have tightened up their passing defense over the last two weeks, Marcus Mariota’s Week 1 explosion against Tampa Bay still has me convinced that their passing defense is suspect. Newton has produced big […]

Marvin Jones a Must-Add for Week 4?

Also in his fourth season, Marvin Jones appears to have surpassed Mohamed Sanu as the second wide receiver in Cincinnati behind A.J. Green. Jones grabbed five of his eight targets on Sunday, collecting 94 yards and a touchdown in the process. If Andy Dalton continues to play as well as he did in Week against […]

Jarvis Landry, Vincent Jackson - Week 4 WR Lineup Busts?

Jarvis Landry, WR, Dolphins Revis Island is where No. 1 receivers go to die for a week, and this time around it’s Jarvis Landry’s turn. He still has not reached the end zone this season and is beginning to lose targets to Rishard Matthews. Landry will likely have big games down the road, but in […]

Rashad Jennings, Lamar Miller - Players Showing Warning Signals

Lamar Miller, RB, Dolphins Lamar Miller is already likely stuck on your bench after a very disappointing start to the season. A favorite preseason breakout pick, Miller has not reached 55 rushing yards yet or received more than 13 carries in a game. Despite the fact that he was a third or fourth round pick for […]

Ryan Tannehill, Eli Manning - Week 4 QB Lineup Busts

Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins It’s hard to have faith in anyone on the massively disappointing Dolphins offense. Ryan Tannehill has turned the ball over four times already and has only scored in the 20s once this season. With this game being in London and the Jets defense holding fantasy QBs to an average of 9.2 […]
