Derek Carrier (TE, WAS) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?

While one would like to have seen Carrier get more than three targets last week, he still turned them into two receptions and a touchdown. Fantasy owners who took the gamble on him saw a nice return. This week's matchup against the Jets should also see Carrier get more usage, as the Jets have a […]

Cecil Shorts (WR, HOU) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?

Speaking of revenge games and "narrative street", Shorts also goes against his old team here. Now for those of you who don't buy into that, Shorts also just has a genuinely "plus" matchup against one of the league's worst pass coverage teams according to ProFootballFocus (28th overall). This game very well might end up going to […]

Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?

If you're taking Colin Kaepernick and want to stack him with someone, Anquan Boldin was clearly Colin's hot read last week when things started rolling for San Francisco's passing offense. Boldin saw 12 targets, which he turned into eight receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. Compare this with Torrey Smith only getting two targets last […]

Javorius Allen (RB, BAL) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?

The rationale here is pretty simple. The Baltimore Ravens are pretty banged up and the San Francisco 49ers defense is playing poorly. Steve Smith Sr. will miss another week of action with his back injury. The backfield is a different story though, as Lorenzo Taliaferro was placed on the injured reserve as he must have […]

Lamar Miller (RB, MIA) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?

Many people may still be extremely lukewarm or ice cold on rostering any Miami Dolphins until the Dolphins show that they can be a competent offense. If you're looking to take a risk, here's the latest from Lamar Miller when asked about what new head coach Dan Campbell told his squad: “He pretty much told […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?

There was a ton of talk last week surrounding the Falcons' passing attack against the Redskins defense, which naturally did not pan out well. While the Redskins defense did do a good job of containing the Falcons, it would be a mistake to just totally flip flop on the perception of the Redskins. There is […]

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - Week 6 Lineup Sleepers?

We saw Kaepernick do pretty well against the Giants in last week's game to the tune of 23 completions on 35 attempts for 262 yards and two touchdowns. He showed that he is still capable of playing quarterback as long as he isn't rolling out to his left. Baltimore has been beaten like a drum […]

Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]

Between bye weeks, injuries and unforeseen performance issues, it sometimes takes some digging to find players that you will be able to add to your lineups for instant offense, or those which you should avoid playing if you have better options.

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 6: The Early Games

The veteran left-hander put together a 15-win season with a 3.81 ERA. Buehrle’s solid season was part of the […]

Beltre (Thumb) Played 2nd Half With Torn Ligament

Adrian Beltre was playing through a torn ligament in his left thumb during the second half of the 2015 season. Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels confirmed the news on Friday. His third baseman played through the pain as the Rangers went from being below .500 to the AL West champions. Unfortunately for them, their […]

Daily Fantasy College Football - DraftKings CFB DFS Picks for 10/17 (Late Games)

The most deceitful statistic, when it comes to fantasy sports, are easily a teams' record. Going into week 7, lop-sided win-loss records are still not the way that you want to decide which baskets you're putting your hard earned eggs into. Don't let go of a winning strategy or make the famous mistake of getting […]

Encarnacion (Finger) Day-To-Day With Strained Ligament

Edwin Encarnacion strained the ligament in his left  middle finger during Friday’s Game 1 of the ALCS. The Toronto Blue Jays DH was pinch-hit for in the eighth inning because he wasn't able to swing a bat due to the pain. Encarnacion received X-rays, which fortunately came back negative for the slugger. The 32-year-old is […]

Daily Fantasy College Football - DraftKings CFB DFS Picks for 10/17 (Early Games)

Andrew Luck Goes Through Full Practice on Friday

The status of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck for Sunday night’s game against the New England Patriots is still questionable but trending upwards. Luck’s shoulder injury looks to be improving as he was a full participant in Friday's practice. Colts beat writers stated Luck likely wouldn’t play on Sunday unless he was able to participate […]

Odell Beckham Will Be Game-Time Decision After Missing Practice

New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. is still battling a hamstring injury as he hopes to play on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. Beckham has missed practice all week but head coach Tom Coughlin said the stud wide receiver is capable of playing even if he doesn’t get a practice in. Many coaches […]

Dez Bryant Rehabbing For Return Very Soon

Great news for the unlucky folks who drafted Dez Bryant in the first round of drafts this year! The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver is recovering well from his broken right foot. With the Cowboys on a bye this week, Bryant is participating in on-field rehab in hopes of a return next week. Bryant’s injury looked […]

Prepare For Crockett Gillmore's Return To Ravens Lineup

The Baltimore Ravens are in a desperate situation as they attempt to turn around their bad start to the season. Forecasted as a favorite to win the AFC North, Baltimore is 1-4 and will be in a near must-win game this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Ravens tight end Crockett Gillmore looked like a […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Andy Dalton should seem like an obvious play this week against the Buffalo Bills, regardless of the fantasy football format. The Bills are still struggling against the pass attack so far this season, allowing 274 yards per game. Dalton has been spectacular this season, and he is consistent enough to use him in both seasonal […]

Arian Foster (RB, HOU) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

You don't need me to tell you to start Foster, but this is the week to play him everywhere. He looked terrible on the ground last week, but saved fantasy owners with 9 receptions for 77 yards through the air. This week, he gets to go to town against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are currently […]

Eric Decker Finally 100%, Primed For Big Game Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker is listed as probable for Sunday’s game vs. the Washington Redskins. Decker has been suffering with a knee injury for the last month causing fantasy owners to fret about inserting him into lineups every week. Following a Week 5 bye, Decker appears to be completely healthy and has […]

Odell Beckham Jr. (WR, NYG) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

You don't need me to tell you to start Beckham, but do not get too cute this week. Odell Beckham is the top wide receiver option on the board, going up against the Philadelphia Eagles. Oh, calm down. Julio Jones is not playing on Sunday, he already played against the Saints on Thursday. Last week, Beckham […]

Eric Decker (WR, NYJ) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Eric Decker is not a flashy player, and he often goes overlooked by fantasy owners. This week, he gets a good matchup against the Washington Redskins' secondary, and he should be in for a great week. He has scored a touchdown in every game he has played in so far this season, and he is […]

Rob Gronkowski (TE, NE) - Week 6 Lineup Booms

Rob Gronkowski has 20 receptions for 375 yards and four touchdowns so far this season. Do I really need to say anything else? Sure, last week he failed to go over 100 yards or find the end zone. In fact, he only had four receptions. However, he was only targeted by Tom Brady five times. […]
