Under-Performing Stars: Shooting Guard Edition

We’re now a month into the season, and you have spent most of it debating over these struggling shooting guards. If you’re like me, you spent Thanksgiving sulking over Kobe Bryant’s horrific stats. What is there to be thankful for when the Mamba is shooting 31%? Think of this article as your support group and […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/29/15

For this lineup, I am focusing heavily on those playing teams like the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers or the Los Angeles Lakers. It's tough to really understand what's going on in Houston. The 76ers are in a race with the Golden State Warriors over who can change the zero in their record to a one first. […]

Can You Trust Brian Hoyer, Josh McCown and Tom Brady In Week 12?

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is one star that every fantasy football player loves to start. Brady is elite at his position and typically put up points in a most fun fashion. With Thanksgiving so fresh in our memories, Brady is the glorious turkey at the center of the dinner table. Brady is the […]

Jordan Reed and Delanie Walker Are Must Starts at Tight End Position

Have the tight ends of the NFL all gathered together and concocted a plan to punish fantasy football fans? Probably not but the highly inconsistent play from the position can lead to conspiracy theories. No tight end is truly trustworthy on a week-to-week basis but Rob Gronkowski. With Gronkowski’s high salary and matchup against the […]

Danny Woodhead and Antonio Gates Are Best Values on Chargers, Philip Rivers Not As Much

The San Diego Chargers offense has been dismantled with the loss of Keenan Allen. Quarterback Philip Rivers was torching the opposing defenses and established himself as a QB1 for the first half of the season. After losing his top target Allen, Rivers has looked rather ordinary and is no longer a trustworthy fantasy quarterback. Rivers […]

Brian Hoyer, DeAndre Hopkins to Destroy Cameron Jordan and the Saints this Sunday

Yes, you read that correctly—Brian Hoyer could very much play the part of an offensive juggernaut this weekend against Cameron Jordan and the New Orleans Saints. Honestly, it probably doesn’t matter who’s under center for the Houston Texans come game time. Using just about any defensive metric, the Saints are the worst defensive team in […]

Charcandrick West (Concussion), Travis Kelce (Ankle) Questionable: Keep Spencer Ware Ready

The Kansas City Chiefs could be without two of their play-makers on Sunday because both Charcandrick West and Travis Kelce are both listed as questionable for Week 12 against the Buffalo Bills, according to the team’s website. The Chiefs have won four straight games despite not having Jamal Charles in the lineup. The star running […]

Danny Amendola Out: Start Either Keshawn Martin Or Chris Harper Sunday

Danny Amendola won’t be making the trip to Denver for the New England Patriot’s Sunday night game against the Broncos, according to CSN. The wide receiver worked out Saturday morning and his knee simply wouldn’t hold up. Amendola will now be on the long list of play-makers that will be out for the defending Super […]

Tyrod Taylor and Sammy Watkins Are Likely to Underperform Against the Chiefs

Though Rob Ryan’s month certainly didn’t go as planned, his brother Rex has had a good go at things in recent weeks. Sure, Ryan and the Buffalo Bills were unable to close the gap between themselves and the New England Patriots last week in a losing effort, but the game was kept close down to […]

Ben Roethlisberger and Martavis Bryant Are Ready to Test the ‘Legion of Boom’

Yes, the Pittsburgh Steelers are traveling to Seattle to play the Seahawks. Yes, the “Legion of Boom” will very much be present when the opening kickoff takes place. And yes, team captain and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is still dealing with a nagging foot injury. That said, even with so much damning evidence firmly in place, […]

Brock Osweiler Isn’t Peyton Manning; Don’t Start Him Like He Is

Should this really even be a temptation? Not only is Brock Osweiler preparing for just his second NFL start, but he’s having to plan to take on Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Who in their right mind would be naive enough to give Osweiler the nod in their fantasy league? Well, […]

Lamar Miller, DeAngelo Williams, Latavius Murray All In For Rough Games?

The running back position continues to get more frustrating as each week passes by.
