What to Make of Nate Washington Moving Forward?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: > There’s no questioning that the Houston Texans’ receiving corps is led by DeAndre Hopkins by a pretty wide margin. Nate Washington is not to be overlooked though. Hopkins, Cecil Shorts, and Nate Washington make a pretty sneaky three wide set […]

Brandon Bolden: Late Season Lottery Ticket

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Bolden is part of the New England backfield that really doesn’t have much of an identity right now.

Alfred Blue and DeAndre Hopkins Limited; Allen Hurns Unlikely to Play

The Houston Texans have had a lot of bad luck lately when it comes to their running backs. Start Arian Foster hasn’t been able to stay healthy for years, and this season has been no exception. And now backup Alfred Blue is banged up as well. Blue is reportedly dealing with a sore back and […]

Danny Amendola and Calvin Johnson Limited, Vincent Jackson Doesn’t Practice

It is safe to assume that nobody was happier to hear about Rob Gronkowski’s bruised knee that quarterback Tom Brady.

Jonathan Grimes (RB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Despite some hope that Jonathan Grimes would see an increase in usage for the Texans, his fantasy production has stalled and owners should look elsewhere for deep-league flyers.

Can You Count on David Johnson to Replace Chris Johnson?

One of the biggest surprises of the 2015 season was the reemergence of Arizona Cardinals running back Chris Johnson.  Johnson is best known for his days as a Tennessee Titan, an era in which he once rushed for 2,000 yards in a single season.  Johnson also spent time with the New York Jets but never […]
