Is Willie Snead A Deeper Week 5 Lineup Sleeper?

It is amazing that this guy is only owned in 17% of Fleaflicker leagues at this point of the season. Coming into the season, the Saints were expected to be very thin at WR, with the exception of Brandin Cooks. Marques Colston and Brandon Coleman were supposed to be the second and third options for […]

Is Anthony Dixon A Deeper Week 5 Lineup Sleeper?

Similarly to last week, this pick is dependent on injuries. It is almost a given as of Thursday that both Karlos Williams (concussion) and LeSean McCoy (hamstring) will be sitting out on Sunday. The next back up is Boobie Dixon (and Daniel Herron, who was just signed). Dixon has not seen the field much this […]

David Johnson (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Sell Candidates?

A receiving TD bolstered Johnson’s point total in Week 4 and somewhat masked the fact that the rookie had a rough game and only managed 18 yards on the ground. Now with Andre Ellington set to return and Chris Johnson firmly atop the depth chart, David may not have much of an offensive role moving […]

Vincent Jackson (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

A 20 point fantasy week in Week 4 has Jackson 23rd among receivers thus far in 2015, but that solid outing may have a bittersweet flavor to it. Simply put, Jackson scored only four points the week before. It’s that kind of inconsistency that has plagued the towering receiver throughout his career, and 2015 hasn’t […]

Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Fantasy Football Sell Candidates?

Randle accrued only 26 yards on 11 carries on Sunday night, but managed to find the end-zone for the fourth time in the last two weeks. The other three of those TDs came in Week 3 when the Atlanta Falcons forgot how to play defense, and that week alone has greatly inflated Randle’s numbers. Aside […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Double digits in the first couple of weeks seems like a long lost memory after Matthews was held to 50 yards or less in both weeks since. A solid Washington secondary held the Eagles’ top receiver to only three catches for 50 yards on Sunday, a yard more than Matthews managed against the Jets the […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

It’s starting to look less and less like the Seahawks are even aware that they traded for Graham this off-season. The once record setting tight-end had only four catches for 29 yards on Monday night, his second lowest output of the season. Graham has only caught 18 balls now in four games, an average of […]

Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Megatron threw up another lackluster performance on Monday night, his third in four games this season. Things would have looked better if it weren’t for the bang-bang play at the goal-line with Kam Chancellor erasing a potential game-winning touchdown. He still only managed 56 yards on seven catches, though, and it’s beginning to look like father […]

Alshon Jeffery Sits Out of Practice on Friday

It doesn't look like Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will be ready to return in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. His hamstring injury must have flared up because he was held out of practice completely on Friday. This comes after Jeffery was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday and Thursday. […]

Tevin Coleman to Steal Devonta Freeman's Thunder?

No running back has been more impressive that Atlanta Falcons' Devonta Freeman during the past couple of weeks. With rookie Tevin Coleman out with a rib injury, Freeman has taken advantage of his playing time and dominated opposing defenses. But when both backs were healthy in Week 1, it was Coleman who seemed to be […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Tight Ends Showing Warning Signals

Things with Graham's transition over to the Seattle Seahawks haven't gone nearly as planned. Whether Graham is frustrated with his role, or just not getting the targets that he probably should, his fantasy stock isn't something that you can rely on. Through four games, Graham has been the definition of hit-or-miss. In Week 1, he […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, CIN) - Tight Ends Showing Warning Signals?

It's not so much that Eifert himself is doing anything wrong, it's more that Andy Dalton is just looking at other players, specifically A.J. Green. While Green started the season off slow, he's caught 17 balls for 309 yards and two scores over the past two weeks. Yes, 227 of those yards and both scores came […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals?

Through the first three weeks of the 2015 NFL season, Luck looked absolutely nothing like the player we saw back in 2014 who threw for 4,761 yards and 40 touchdowns with only 16 interceptions. Instead, Luck began his 2015 campaign by throwing for an average of 251 yards per game, with five touchdowns and seven interceptions through […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals?

For a minute there, Flacco had us thinking that he had bounced back to the "good Flacco." After posting back-to-back 350-plus passing yard games against the Oakland Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals (while throwing four touchdowns against two interceptions), Flacco fell backwards in Week 4. He threw for just 189 yards, with one touchdown and one […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Quarterbacks Showing Warning Signals

Tannehill may not be belittling teammate's paychecks, but he did admit to ripping the players on the scout squad, according to James Walker of ESPN. Not your finest moment, Ryan. While the off-field drama is one thing, the fact that the Miami Dolphins have now fired Joe Philbin puts Tannehill in an interesting situation. He may not […]

Going into Week 6 in College Football, try not to let your passions or bias in many of the upcoming rivalry games deplete your bank account.

FanDuel Picks for Daily Fantasy Football Week 5: DFS Lineup Advice and Sleepers

As the season progresses, we continue to see developments on both sides of the ball for teams. This tends to happen because of injuries, but with four weeks in the books, teams are also beginning to bench players that are underperforming in order to give potentially more talented players an opportunity. In this article, my […]

Quarterbacks & Tight Ends Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 5

In the NFL, there are always those players who make you more and more anxious as the season goes on. They either aren't producing at the level they should, or they're simply getting too many garbage time points to allow you to feel confident in them on a weekly basis. Fortunately, we're here to point […]

Beltre (Back) MRI Comes Back Clean, Somewhat

Adrian Beltre is day-to-day after he left Thursday’s Game 1 against the Toronto Blue Jays while running to first base. The Texas Rangers slugger underwent an MRI after leaving the game in the third inning. The results revealed no structural damage to Beltre’s back, which is better news than possibly expected. Adrian Beltre has a […]

Donaldson (Head) Passes Concussion Test

Josh Donaldson passed a concussion test after Thursday’s Game 1 against the Texas Rangers. The Toronto Blue Jays slugger left the game after sliding into second to break up a double-play in the fourth inning. Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor’s knee slammed into an oncoming Donaldson, which knocked him down. Donaldson passed concussion tests. Will […]

Andre Williams (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10 - 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Andre Williams is the third wheel in a Giants backfield featuring Rashad Jennings and Shane Vereen. Each back has their own special attributes they bring to the field which makes them important parts of the offense but makes their fantasy […]

Cameron Artis-Payne (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cameron Artis-Payne was the Panthers' 5th round selection out of the University of Auburn, yet people were already talking about his potential impact for fantasy football managers. Why is this? This is because everyone knows Jonathan Stewart is a yearly injury […]

Andre Johnson to Face Former Team for First Time

Indianapolis Colts WR Andre Johnson will take the field Thursday night for his first game against his former team, the Houston Texans.  Johnson joined the Colts in the offseason as the Texans all-time leader in receiving yards (13,597), catches (1,012) and touchdowns (64). Johnson has struggled with his new team, totaling only seven receptions for […]

Ryan Mallet to Remain Starter vs Colts Tonight

Despite being replaced by Brian Hoyer in last week's blowout loss to the Falcons, Ryan Mallet is expected to get the start yet again in Thursday's game against the Colts.  So far Mallet has posted a disappointing completion percentage of 44%, with an overall quarterback rating of 46.8.  He struggled to get things going against the […]
