Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Quarterbacks With Warning Signals?

The rookie phenom has been better than anticipated in the early stages of his professional career, but last week he seemed mortal against an above-average Bills defense. Mariota was only able to put up 187 yards through the air with no touchdowns and one very bad interception. He completed 21 of 32 passes, but that […]

Russell Wilson (QB, SEA) - Quarterbacks With Warning Signals?

Wilson has just barely been maintaining his status as a startable QB1 in 2015, thanks in large part to depressed passing numbers. With Jimmy Graham brought in to be the receiving weapon that Wilson needed, many had high expectations for the Seahawks passing game headed into the season. However, things have headed in the exact opposite […]

Antonio Brown (WR, PIT) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

I can't believe I'm actually adding Antonio Brown to my list of players with warning signals, but given the amount of panic since Michael Vick came into the starting lineup I think there are plenty of owners out there who need some reassurance. With Vick under center, Brown has been a massive disappointment. Even with that in mind, […]

T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

Even with Andrew Luck missing another game last week, T.Y. Hilton managed to be productive to the tune of five receptions for 88 yards. With Luck tentatively expected to play this week in a Sunday night game against the Patriots, it's looking like the breakout is coming soon. I'm optimistic that this is the last time […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

The Buccaneers were so bad passing the ball last week that I'm actually just going pretend last week didn't even happen. Plus, when you have Doug Martin running all over the Jacksonville defense, why bother passing in the first place? The team is on bye this week so it'll be a while before we have […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?

It would appear as if the Philadelphia Eagles are beginning to turn the corner on the offensive side of the ball with back-to-back weeks of solid production in both the passing game and ground attack. We're at the point with the Eagles where it's clear they are going to spread the ball around significantly, so much […]

Chris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

Brandon Marshall says Chris Ivory is the best running back in the NFL; the numbers say otherwise. Ivory had just five 100-yard showings in 39 games leading up to his Week 3 demolition of the Dolphins' defense. His career game put him on the "elite" radar of many fantasy owners, so now is the time […]

Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

Barnidge had another impressive showing in Week 5 against the Ravens, giving him 319 yards and three touchdowns over the last three games. The 30-year-old Barnidge had three career touchdowns prior to this season, so this emergence came out of nowhere. Catching passes from someone as unpredictable as Josh McCown, Barnidge could disappear as quickly […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

The Bengals are rolling, largely due to the superb play of quarterback Andy Dalton. Cincinnati's quarterback has posted at least 300 yards in each of his last three games - he only eclipsed the 300-yard mark three times in all of 2014. After five weeks, Dalton has the second most passing yards (1,518) and the […]

Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Buys

Maclin is finally being used correctly in Kansas City. The former Eagles wideout has been targeted double-digit times in three straight weeks,and has collected 374 yards over that span. Maclin broke out in 2014, finishing ninth in the NFL with 1,318 yards. Now, five weeks into his first year with the Chiefs, Maclin is sixth […]

Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Randle has been inconsistent over the course of the first five weeks, collecting 87 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3, but just 26 yards on 11 carries in Week 3. The Cowboys head into their bye week having lost three straight games, and have announced that recently signed Christine Michael may be named the […]

C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

This is a tricky one. At the start of the season, I had Anderson ranked lower than most people. It's not that I didn't trust him, I just thought he was overhyped as a result of four weeks in 2014-- a pair of 160-yard games and a pair of opportunistic, three-touchdown games. Outside of those […]

The Major League Soccer (MLS) season is now moving into the more critical phase of matches as the play-offs approach and with significant stakes in each of the games, the matches promise to be exciting. The quest for a play-off spot is not the only goal, as the qualified teams will be looking to seal […]

Chris Johnson, Andre Ellington, David Johnson - Week 6 Fantasy Outlooks

The Arizona backfield shredded an emotionally depleted Lions defense on Sunday. This time, one of the Johnsons was largely left out of the picture. Chris Johnson remained the lead back even though Andre Ellington returned from injury, gaining 103 yards on just 11 carries. Ellington looked impressive as well, as he erupted for a 63-yard […]

Carlos Hyde (RB, SF) - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks

Carlos Hyde turned in an impressive nighttime performance on Sunday in the Meadowlands, flaunting a 21-93-1 line with a four-yard reception. Hyde looked hobbled at multiple points of the game, but continued to come into the game and make big plays into the fourth quarter. Reggie Bush reinjured his calf in the effort, and Jerrod Hayne […]

Jacksonville Jaguars' Running Back T.J. Yeldon Questionable For Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back T. J Yeldon may miss this Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans. Yeldon has been out with a groin injury he suffered in Week 5 in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and is not expected to practice on Friday either. Head Coach Gus Bradley […]

Marshawn Lynch In Full Practice On Thursday, Expected To Play On Sunday

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was upgraded to "full" in his practice on Thursday. He had been out with a hamstring injury since Week 3. Lynch is expected to play this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Head Coach Pete Carroll said that Lynch is still very much locked-in as the lead running back for […]

Buffalo Bills' Running Back LeSean McCoy Hints At Possible Return Against Bengals

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy hinted on Instagram at his possible return on Sunday. He has been dealing with a hamstring injury since August, and has not played since Week 3. Head Coach Rex Ryan has said that he is "cautiously optimistic" about McCoy's return in Week 6 against the 5-0 Cincinnati Bengals. Ryan is usually […]

Carlos Hyde Limited in Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde has been limited in practice all week, but no worries - he's fully expected to go in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. 49ers OC Geep Chryst has said that the team will likely limit Hyde's practice time for the rest of the season in an attempt to […]

T.J. Yeldon Considered a Game-Time Decision

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back T.J. Yeldon is being considered a game-time decision despite missing practice all week with a groin injury. It would be rare for a rookie to start a football game without practicing all week. According to the Florida Times Union, coach Gus Bradley isn't ruling it out, but it seems highly […]

Quarterbacks & Tight Ends Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 6

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 too much of their production is coming in garbage time, making them unreliable on a week-to-week basis. Fortunately, we're here to point out five of […]

Tyrod Taylor Officially Doubtful for Week 6

Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor is officially being listed as doubtful for the team's week 6 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. His sprained MCL has kept him limited in practice all week long. Former first-round draft pick E.J. Manuel will get the start at quarterback and […]

Buy Low/Sell High for Fantasy Football Week 6 (Part 2)

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season. The key is to buy low on cold players, then swap them out once they get hot and their value skyrockets. Everyone knows this method, but that doesn't mean you still can't […]

Alshon Jeffery's Status Still Up in the Air

Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has missed the past several weeks with a hamstring injury and his status for Week 6 is still up in the air. However, Jeffery seems to be moving in the right direction. He was a limited participant in practice on Thursday and he says he "I feel a lot […]

Randall Cobb Says Shoulder 'Could Be' an Issue All Season

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb has been dealing with a bum shoulder since Week 4 and it doesn't sound like it will get any better going forward. Cobb told the media that the injury may be a problem for the rest of the season. “I think it’s a possibility it could be,” Cobb […]

Is Ben Watson the New Jimmy Graham?

New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson was unstoppable on Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. He hauled in 10-of-12 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown. He was quarterback Drew Brees' favorite target and looked just as good as former Saints tight end Jimmy Graham. But should fantasy football owners […]

Sammy Watkins Unhappy With Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is not happy with his current role. The former fourth overall draft pick thinks the team is making him "look bad" by not targeting him enough in the passing game. "I need the ball at least 10 times -- I need 10 targets -- and l'll be fine with […]
