Antonio Brown Looks to Bounce Back with Landry Jones Under Center

It's been a tough year for Antonio Brown, who was the highest rated fantasy receiver coming into the season. Brown was stellar in the first three weeks of the season with 29 catches, 436 yards and two touchdowns, but then Ben Roethlisberger went down with a knee injury and everything changed. Michael Vick struggled in […]

Landry Jones and Martavis Bryant Good DFS Stack vs Chiefs

The Pittsburgh Steelers enter Week 7 with a good matchup against an average Kansas City Chiefs defense.  The Steelers are now starting third string Quarterback Landry Jones, who took over for the injured Michael Vick in last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals.  Jones looked impressive in his debut, throwing for 168 yards and two touchdowns, […]

Dion Lewis and Melvin Gordon likely out, Landry Jones to start for the Steelers

With Dion Lewis Hurt, LeGarrette Blount Steps Up to Face Stout Jets Defense

LeGarrette Blount is second on the New England Patriots' depth chart, but he leads the team in carries and has been productive in an offense that's always hard to predict. Dion Lewis took hold of the starting spot while Blount was suspended for Week 1 and has looked great, especially in the passing game. But […]

Should You Start Teddy Bridgewater and Stefon Diggs vs Lions?

The Minnesota Vikings enter week seven with their second matchup this season against the Detroit Lions.  The Vikings won 26-16 in week two, and their offense really got going.  Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had one of his best fantasy games of the year against the Lions in week two, throwing for 153 yards, one […]

Drew Brees and Derek Carr Should Thrive in Week 7

Eagles Look to Soar Over Panthers On the Wings of DeMarco Murray, Ryan Matthews

This season, things have been fairly complicated in Philadelphia. For starters, Eagles supporters don’t exactly have the reputation for being the kindest, most patient of NFL fans. Add to that unending questions surrounding Chip Kelly’s managerial sanity, Sam Bradford’s ability to throw an actual football and DeMarco Murray’s desire to gain positive yardage, and it’s […]

Melvin Gordon Questionable; Danny Woodhead or Brandon Oliver to Benefit?

Melvin Gordon is listed as questionable for a Week 7 match-up against the Oakland Raiders. Last week, Melvin was benched after multiple fumbles and only put up seven carries for 29 yards and tweaked his ankle to add injury to insult. This year so far, the rookie from Wisconsin has not found the end zone […]

Keep a Clean Sheet: Jameis Winston and Kirk Cousins Look to Minimize Interceptions

Regardless of name, number of off-field endorsement deals or years of experience, for quarterbacks, it’s key that the ball—as often as possible—remain in possession of the offense at all times. Interceptions are obviously nothing new to the game, but this year’s league-wide interception totals—in particular, the man who’s leading the damning column—is nothing short of […]

Lamar Miller to Shine, Dion Lewis to Struggle in Week 7

A pair of AFC East running backs enter Week 7 coming off polar opposite performances in Week 6.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter Week 7 off their bye week and with a favorable matchup against the dysfunctional Washington Redskins.

Let's start with Evans, who's been the […]

Philip Rivers, Keenan Allen Should Perform Well Against Oakland Raiders

Philip Rivers proved he wasn't human in Week 6 when he destroyed the Green Bay Packers for more than 500 yards and two touchdowns. Keenan Allen, who has been Rivers' favorite target this season, was the beneficiary of 14 of those completions for 157 yards in that game, and the two showed they have the […]
