Peyton Manning: Hasn't Been This Lost In Years

Sitting Peyton Manning in fantasy is like benching your own son during a Little League game. It shouldn't happen. But it may be time to do the unthinkable. After Denver's Bye this upcoming week, if fantasy owners have a favorable matchup with their backup quarterback, they should start their backup, and show Peyton a place […]

Dwayne Harris and Reuben Randle: Last Minute Starts

Dwayne Harris and Reuben Randle could receive plenty of attention during tonight's Monday night matchup against divisional rival Philadelphia Eagles. With star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s status in question (hamstring,) Eli Manning and the resurgent New York Giants offense will look to Randle and Harris for production. Philadelphia's defense has given up the third […]

Matthew Stafford Goes From Zero to Hero in Week 6

For Matthew Stafford, it's hard to image 2015 being any more of a roller coaster ride than it has been. Stafford and the Detroit Lions had gotten off to a brutal 0-4 start before a home game against the Arizona Cardinals. To that point, Stafford put together a total of five touchdowns against five interceptions, […]

Jonathan Stewart Finally Has His Breakout Game

Prior to today, this season has been a disaster for Jonathan Stewart owners . The University of Oregon product, who was thought by many to be an RB1, bellcow-type back this year with the departure of DeAngelo Williams, has grossly underperformed this season, causing some owners to bench or cut him. Today though, the Carolina Panthers' back changed his […]

Tests on Ty Montgomery's Ankle Come Back Negative

Tests done on Green Bay Packers wide receiver Ty Montgomery have come back negative. The rookie left the Packers Week 6 game against the San Diego with an ankle injury that seemed serious at the time. However, the tests have proved that Montgomery didn't suffer any structural damage. The rookie likely has a severe sprain […]

What's Going On With Eddie Lacy?

Fantasy Owners of Eddie Lacy should start to consider picking up back-up running back, James Starks, if they haven't already done so. On Green Bay's first offensive possession yesterday against the San Diego Chargers, it was was Starks, not Lacy, who jogged onto the field alongside Aaron Rodgers. And it was Starks who out-rushed Lacy […]

Jeremy Hill Out-Snaps Giovani Bernard in Week 6

Jeremy Hill played 35 snaps to Giovani Bernard's 25 snaps in the Cincinnati Bengals Week 6 win over the Buffalo Bills. That's quite a difference from Week 5 when Bernard had three-times as many snaps as Hill. Both Bernard and Hill can be considered RB2's going forward. Bernard actually has more fantasy value than Hill […]

Eddie Lacy Is Banged Up, Likely in a Timeshare Going Forward

Eddie Lacy did not make his fantasy football owners very happy during his Week 6 matchup against the San Diego Chargers. The first-round fantasy football draft pick only saw four carries out of the backfield for three yards while James Starks had 10 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown. After the game Packers head […]

DeAndre Hopkins Making a Legitimate Case as Top NFL Wideout

While fans simply rave about Julio Jones and his 49 catches for 638 yards and four touchdowns (rightfully so), he may have some competition for the best wide receiver in the NFL. While the Houston Texans are sitting with just a 2-4 record, you simply can't overlook the season that DeAndre Hopkins is putting together. […]

Let Andre Ellington Warm Your Bench

With Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington playing just 9-of-72 offensive snaps on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he is no longer worth any starting consideration. Chris Johnson is clearly the team's starting running back. He played 39 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, rookie David Johnson played 23 snaps. It's possible that Ellington isn't 100 percent healthy […]

Alshon Jeffery Shines in Return to Action, but Bears Still Lose in Overtime

Alshon Jeffery returned to action on Sunday for the Chicago Bears, posting a stat line of eight receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown. He garnered 11 targets from Jay Cutler in a shootout with the Detroit Lions, and while his stellar effort was squandered in an overtime loss, the Bears have to feel good […]

Martavis Bryant Explodes in 2015 Debut

Martavis Bryant was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season, and then missed an additional game last week due to a knee injury. Bryant finally saw the field on Sunday, and while he was mostly quiet (along with the rest of the Steelers' offense) with Mike Vick under center, things changed in […]

Percy Harvin Not Expected in London

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Percy Harvin is not expected to make the trip to London with his teammates for their Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Harvin is currently dealing with a hip injury and according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, he could miss "significant time." Considering Harvin's injury history, his fantasy football […]

Julian Edelman Can’t Help But Find the End-Zone

New England Patriots’ wide receiver Julian Edelman can’t help but find the end-zone. Last night, Edelman turned in yet another stellar performance catching 6-of-10 targets for 50 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Patriots’ redemptive win over the Indianapolis Colts. Though the Colts were clearly outmatched by the defending Super Bowl champions, Sunday night’s […]

Donte Moncrief Outshines T.Y. Hilton, Yet Again

In Sunday night’s Week 6 loss against the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver Donte Moncrief successfully brought in 6-of-11 targets for 69 total receiving yards and a touchdown. While nothing out-of-this-world, Moncrief’s solid numbers were enough to have him statistically, once again, outplaying standout wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. As arguably the best highlight […]

Though Nabbing a Touchdown, Gronkowski Relatively Quiet In Patriots’ Win

Generally speaking, New England Patriots’ wide receiver Rob Gronkowski is a force to be reckoned with out on the field. In Sunday night’s Week 6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, however, he was relatively tame. Still, Gronkowski managed to score a touchdown to help his team seek revenge against the accusatory Colts, thus putting a […]

Danny Amendola’s Big Week 6 Performance Little More Than an Outlier

Though successfully securing 7-of-9 targets for a total of 105 receiving yards in the New England Patriots’ Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts, it’s unlikely Danny Amendola’s performance was little more than a statistical outlier. Not only did seven of Amendola’s Tom Brady targets come in the first half, but so too did 87 […]

Melvin Gordon Benched for Fumbling

San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will need to learn how to hold onto the football if he wants to become the team's lead back. Gordon, who had just seven carries for 29 yards on Sunday, didn't get a single carry after halftime due to a pair of first-half fumbles. The Chargers have plenty […]

Once Again, Andre Johnson Fails to Live Up to His Name

As a member of the Houston Texans, believe it or not, Andre Johnson was widely considered one of the better receivers in the NFL. If you’ve just started following him this year, more than likely, you’re wondering how this ever could’ve been. Once again, taking a backseat in the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 6 loss to […]

Injuries Aside, T.Y. Hilton Leads Colts’ Receiving Core In Week 6 Loss to Patriots

Thus far, this season has been a tough one for Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. Having dealt with injury concerns for much of the season, he’s been unable to make the very plays that have solidified him as a top-tier receiver in the NFL in recent years. However, with the majority of nagging injuries […]

LeGarrette Blount Makes His Presence Known In Week 6 Win Over Colts

When the New England Patriot’s Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts was all said and done, there was little doubt that LeGarrette Blount had showed up to play. In the Patriots’ 34-27 victory, Blount managed to rush for 93 yards on 16 carries, punching in a pair of touchdowns in the process. Even sweeter […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Derek Carr, Ryan Fitzpatrick & Brian Hoyer

The Week 6 QB streams gave us two big hits and one miss. The miss was Teddy Bridgewater, as the Vikings did not come out of the bye swinging like I hoped. Blake Bortles was a big hit once again. Even though he had three interceptions, it did not hurt his fantasy performance. Bortles has […]

Week 6 Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Start 'em, Sit 'em

Monday Night Matchups Analysis Players We Love Josh Huff, WR, Eagles - Huff will be getting the bump up across the board with Nelson Agholor out. Huff has played sparingly this year with only eight receptions for 117 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Giants are still one of the leagues worst pass defenses and are […]

Ronnie Hillman Kisses Up to Peyton Manning

Ronnie Hillman wants to be the Denver Broncos No. 1 running back and he's going about it the right way. After Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, Hillman kissed up to quarterback Peyton Manning by defending the future hall of fame QB with the media. "We're here to rally behind him," running back Ronnie Hillman […]

Keenan Allen Has Another Monster Game

There are fewer players in the NFL who can be considered more of a wildcard in the world of fantasy football than Keenan Allen. The mercurial San Diego Chargers' wide receiver provides all of the upside in the world for his owners but can also provide games in which he produces very little. This past Sunday […]

What Is Wrong With Eddie Lacy?

For all of the Eddie Lacy owners out there who thought that last week's performance from the 25-year-old back was rock bottom, think again. After putting forth a disappointing performance last week against the St. Louis Rams in which he rushed the ball 13 times for a meager 27 yards, Lacy had one of the worst […]

Cam Newton Making an MVP Case in Unique Way

Cam Newton isn't your normal, everyday quarterback. Not by a long shot. What Newton does is special for a quarterback, and it's getting noticed, as his Carolina Panthers are off to a 5-0 start. The most recent way that Newton has silenced his critics is by taking the Panthers into one of the toughest places […]

Philip Rivers Lights It up for Fantasy Owners Despite Loss

For Philip Rivers, Week 6 was one for the ages statistically. Unfortunately, it didn't result in the San Diego Chargers leaving Lambeau Field with a victory. The Chargers lost another game in heartbreaking fashion, as the Green Bay Packers stopped them four times straight from inside the five to preserve a 27-20 victory. Now, enough […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Travels with the Giants to Philadelphia for Monday Night Football

The New York Giants are traveling to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in a Monday night tilt that has big NFC East implications. The Giants are coming off of a last minute victory against the 49ers where they had to persevere as Odell Beckham Jr. and Rueben Randle both missed time during the game […]

Chris Ivory Destroys Washington as the Jets Fly to Victory

The Washington Redskins have a reputation for having a good run defense, but it appears that Chris Ivory didn't get the memo. He was electric on Sunday for the New York Jets as they rolled to a 34-20 victory over Washington. Ivory finished the game with 20 carries for 146 yards and a touchdown, while […]
