Eddie Lacy Reclaims Starting Role from James Starks

The struggles continue in Green Bay. After dropping their second straight home game to a division rival, the Packers essentially find themselves half a game out of first place behind the Minnesota Vikings. It's been an unlikely stretch for the Packers of late, but in Thursday night's Thanksgiving contest, where Brett Favre's number was retired, […]

Aaron Dobson Placed on IR, Falcons to Start Tevin Coleman and Antonio Gates a Full Participant

The New England Patriots just got thinner at wide receiver. The team has announced that Aaron Dobson was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Although Dobson is under contract with the team until 2016, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was released in the offseason. Dobson has never lived up to his potential […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/27/15

Has anyone seen the TMZ video of Jahlil Okafor yet? If you haven't, go check it out. He KOs a "heckler" at a bar, and it's worth a watch. While that news isn't fantasy news, it means he's going to be suspended, and some of the other Sixers may become part of the offense now. […]

Who Ya Got: Rendon or Longoria?

Going by ESPN's average draft position, Anthony Rendon and Evan Longoria were seen as roughly equivalent assets in 2015. Rendon went 38th overall on average in ESPN leagues, while Longoria's ADP was 40. Granted, their aggregate ADPs on the major platforms, per FantasyPros, saw a much wider gap (29 for Rendon and 57 for Longoria). […]

Terrible Performances Prove Eagles Need Sam Bradford Back, Mark Sanchez Limits Fantasy Value

We all had something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Thursday, except the Philadelphia Eagles. During the first game of the traditional NFL turkey day schedule, the Eagles put out one of the more embarrassing performances by any team all season. The Detroit Lions destroyed Philadelphia 45-14 and forced the Eagles to fall to 4-7. […]

Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate Dominate on Thanksgiving

The Detroit Lions were one of the worst teams in the NFL during the first half of the season. Their record was 1-7 and they were proving to have no players worthy of starting in fantasy aside from Calvin Johnson. Despite his greatness, Johnson was even hit or miss for the early portion of the […]

Leonard Hankerson Misses Practice, John Brown Returns and Hakeem Nicks to Be Inactive

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Leonard Hankerson missed practice on Thanksgiving day and is unlikely to play in the team’s Week 12 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Early on in the season Hankerson was emerging as a dependable WR3 for his fantasy football owners, but lately he has not been able to stay healthy. That has […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire - Filling In For Marshawn Lynch, Charcandrick West, Justin Forsett

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Twelve The eleventh Sunday of the season is through, and as most people assumed the return of Tony Romo was the exact medicine the Cowboys needed to end their losing streak. In other great news, Cam Newton continues to dance and we're okay with that. Apparently Ron Rivera also dabbled in the […]

Brian Hoyer/DeAndre Hopkins Poised For a Big Week 12 Against An Awful New Orleans Saints Defense

Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer has passed all of the league concussion protocol testing and will be the Week 12 starter, per Coach Bill O’Brien. Before Hoyer was injured, he was averaging very respectful numbers for fantasy football lineups. In the past five games before his concussion, he averaged 269 passing yards and threw for […]

Johnny Manziel Demoted, Josh McCown/Gary Barnidge to Resume Power Numbers in Week 12

Just last week, Johnny Manziel was given the reins of the Cleveland Browns and was named starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Unfortunately for him, he continues to be his own worst enemy. A video of Manziel holding a bottle of alcohol as he partied with friends surfaced just a few days ago. […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Stash away Owned In: 77% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Andre Ellington has really only had three productive fantasy weeks this season. Chris Johnson has emerged as the starting back and gets the lion's share of carries while rookie David Johnson has been targeted more than Ellington in the air lately. After his game-winning touchdown […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 12

The best NFL teams usually show themselves by Thanksgiving. It seems likes that's the Patriots, Cardinals, and Panthers, in that order. It will take a complete game to beat those teams. The rest of the league looks incredibly even. Bye weeks are finally done, but the NFL scheduling keeps getting worse and worse. There are […]

Chris Givens (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Since being acquired from the Rams, Chris Givens has seen a steady rise in targets, but he hasn't turned the targets into much production yet. With 14 targets in the last two weeks, he only has six catches for 62 yards and a TD. His prospects of being Joe Flacco's new deep threat made him an interesting […]

Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) -Waiver Wire Pickups

After months of disappointing fantasy performance, Darren Sproles bounced back and was one of the few positives for the Eagles in their blowout loss to the Buccaneers. With three catches for 38 yards and a TD, Sproles had his first productive fantasy game since Week 3. He remains most valuable in PPR leagues, but with Ryan Mathews now out for […]

Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

While not the most exciting pickup, Coby Fleener offers some utility to fantasy players looking for value at a thin TE position. Fleener only has 36 catches for 325 yards and two TDs this season, disappointing owners who hoped he would replicate or improve last year's production. But he should continue to see enough targets to […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add and stash Owned In: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Luckily for his owners and those looking to swoop in and grab Antonio Andrews off the wire, there is no other real threat out of the backfield for the Tennessee Titans. Dexter McCluster will miss 2-3 weeks because of a sprained MCL and […]
