Matthew Stafford Benched vs Arizona

Detroit Lions starting QB Matthew Stafford was benched in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals after throwing for just 188 yards and three interceptions.  Backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky took over for Stafford after he threw his third interception in just three quarters of play. It doesn't appear that Stafford's starting job […]

What Jamaal Charles' Injury Means to his Fantasy Owners

During Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles was knocked out of the game with an apparent knee injury.  The injury was non-contact and did not look promising as Charles had to be helped off of the field. Early reports are indicating that Charles has a torn ACL, which would […]

Thomas Rawls Has Big Game Against Bengals

Seattle Seahawks backup running back Thomas Rawls rushed 23 times for 169 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.  Rawls topped the 100-yard mark for the second time this season, filling in for the injured Marshawn Lynch. Rawls looked solid in his second career start, providing the Seahawks with a much-needed […]

Gary Barnidge Explodes Again, Has Emerged As Legit TE1

For the 3rd week in a row, Gary Barnidge has posted solid fantasy football stat lines. During that time, Gary Barnidge has had 26 targets, 20 catches, three touchdowns, and receiving 319 yards. It is very clear that while Josh McCown is the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, Barnidge will continue to get targets. Coming […]

Devonta Freeman Has Another Huge Day vs Redskins

Atlanta Falcons RB Devonta Freeman rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown and caught seven passes for 44 yards in Sunday's overtime win vs the Washington Redskins.  The rushing total marks a season and career high for Freeman, topping his previous best of 144 yards vs Dallas. Freeman looked sharp yet again in just his […]

Matthew Stafford Benched, Dan Orlovsky Replaces Him

After tossing three interceptions in two-plus quarters, Matthew Stafford was benched for Dan Orlovsky. This season Stafford has really struggled - if he continues this pace, he will have a career high 26 interceptions which is six more interceptions than his rookie season in 2009. While playing against Cardinals in the second half, he did an okay job filling in (191 […]

Doug Martin Scores Three Touchdowns vs Jacksonville

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin rushed 24 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns while catching three balls for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.  Martin was unstoppable in the red zone, taking three of his touches for scores against a Jacksonville defense that struggled against the run […]

Jamaal Charles Believed To Have Torn ACL, MRI To Confirm Monday

In the third quarter versus the Chicago Bears, Jamaal Charles went down quickly on a non-contact carry. Shortly thereafter he was ruled out for the rest of the game. Early prognosis has ruled that Charles has a torn right ACL, and is scheduled for an MRI Monday to confirm. If the MRI does validate the same […]

Ronnie Hillman Set to Explode in Increased Role

The Denver Broncos backfield has been in flux for years, and it looks like things are about to shift once again. Although CJ Anderson came into the season as the #1 running back, Ronnie Hillman has clearly been the better back so far this season. If you trust the words of head coach Gary Kubiak, […]

Sammy Watkins Officially Inactive Versus Titans

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins has been declared officially inactive for the Bills' Week 5 tilt with the Tennessee Titans. This doesn't come as much of a shock considering the uncertainty that has swirled around Watkins over the course of the week. Watkins is still nursing a calf injury that held him out of […]

Is Fred Jackson Worth the Risk?

During Week 4 when the Seattle Seahawks squared off against the Detroit Lions, running back Fred Jackson suffered a high ankle sprain and was knocked out of commission for the remainder of the game. According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Fred Jackson made a “remarkable recovery” and is expected to play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. […]

New York Giants Tight End Daniel Fells in Danger of Losing his Foot

New York Giants tight end Daniel Fells has been in the hospital for a week battling a staph infection in his foot, according to a report by Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Fells has undergone multiple surgeries to deal with MRSA, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureu, an antibiotic-resistant form of the infection that is extremely hard to deal […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

At age 32, Larry Fitzgerald seems to have re-emerged as an elite fantasy receiver. I'm not buying it. The targets are there, and his chemistry with Carson Palmer is undeniable -- and I'm not downplaying his talent -- but he has been playing well above what he projects to do over the rest of the […]

Darren McFadden to Handle Third-Down Duties with Lance Dunbar Out

It should come as no surprise, but with Lance Dunbar going on Injured Reserve with a torn ACL, Darren McFadden will take on an increased role in the Dallas Cowboys offense. According to ESPN's Ed Werder, McFadden will be the back to look out for in "passing situations." Dunbar has been a big fantasy contributor […]

Dion Lewis (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

Okay, you've had your fun. Did you really think Bill Belichick was going to stick with one running back on a weekly basis? In 2014, five different backs led the Pats in rushing in a given week. For the first two weeks of 2015, Lewis was the guy, but LeGarrette Blount took the reigns in […]

As always, my goal with this article is to help you identify viable options to insert into your DraftKings lineups, based on DFS pricing and matchups data. Here's a compilation of players I like when choosing a lineup for Sunday, […]

Devonta Freeman (RB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?

I can't remember a sell-high candidate stronger than Devonta Freeman in all of my years as fantasy owner. The second-year back has scored six touchdowns in the past two weeks. The last player to find the end zone three times in two consecutive games was LaDanian Tomlinson in 2006. More incredibly, these two games were […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Mike Evans was non-existent in his Week 2 debut. He had a monster, seven-catch, 101-yard showing in Week 3, but then disappeared again in Week 4, reeling in just three passes for 32 yards. However, as the clear best weapon on a struggling Bucs offense, Evans should start to get a lot more looks. Additionally, […]

DeMarco Murray (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

DeMarco Murray could be considered the biggest fantasy disappointment to date, with just 47 yards on 29 carries in three games. As abysmal as he has been running the ball, we know what he is capable of doing, and it is only a matter of time before he hits his stride. In Week 4, he […]

Fred Jackson In, Marshawn Lynch Out Against the Bengals

As expected throughout the week, Marshawn Lynch was ruled out by the Seahawks on Saturday for today's matchup against the Bengals. According to Ian Rapoport, veteran Running Back Fred Jackson is expected to play today despite exiting Monday nights game with an ankle injury. With Lynch out, rookie running back Thomas Rawls will get the […]

Alfred Morris (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Some owners might be growing tired of Alfred Morris' inability to find the end zone thus far in 2015. Take advantage of that frustration and trade for him before those owners realize how valuable Morris truly is. Washington's premier back is one of just five players with at least 1,000 rushing yards in each of […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/11

Will Andy Dalton Cool Down Against Seattle?

Andy Dalton has been off to a terrific start, as have the 4-0 Cincinnati Bengals. They'll face their toughest challenge of the year when the Seattle Seahawks come to town. Since the return of Kam Chancellor, the Seahawks haven't lost. They also have allowed just one 300-yard passing performance since the start of last season. […]

Marcus Mariota In For Big Day Against the Bills

The Tennessee Titans' rookie quarterback comes off the bye week to face the Buffalo Bills at home today, and all signs point to Marcus Mariota having a real nice fantasy performance today. The Bills are ranked 29th in passing yards allowed per game so far this season, and have also allowed multiple passing scores in […]

Alshon Jeffery Out Again For Chicago

According to Ian Rapoport, the Chicago Bears will be without wide receiver Alshon Jeffery for the 4th week in a row. However, he does say that the Bears expect to have him back in the lineup in Week 6. Bears #2 wide receiver Eddie Royal is highly questionable for the Bears and will likely be […]

Will Doug Martin Snap Back To Reality in Week 5?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran running back Doug Martin rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown last week against the Carolina Panthers. Don't hold your breath for another performance like that this week. While I like his long-term value for this season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are only allowing 3.1 yards per carry, which is the best […]
