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

This may be a pick that even I look back at and try to figure out what I was thinking. But, as of the time I am writing this article, starting RB Jonathan Stewart and power back Mike Tolbert are yet to practice this week. This leaves the backfield to the rookie Artis-Payne and journeyman […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, NO) - Players Showing Warning Signals

I didn’t want to overload you with repeats this week so I decided to dig a little deeper down the list and look for a player who wasn’t drafted as high as the others but is disappointing all the same. Brandin Cooks has yet to find the endzone or reach 100 yards in a game […]

C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Another year of fantasy, another year of not knowing what to make of the Denver backfield. It feels like we do this every September--we talk about how this is an offense that likes to utilize one specific back and how much fantasy value they’ll have with Peyton Manning under center. We eventually settle on one […]

Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Another player appearing on this list for the second straight week is Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. After a terrible first week, Johnson’s numbers have improved slightly due to an increased target total. My concern with Megatron isn’t even his talent or usage, it’s the fact that this offense can’t seem to get anything […]

Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals

So last week I essentially told you to relax and not worry too much about Andrew Luck. My thinking was that every superstar struggles at some point in the season, and it was likely that we had already seen Luck’s worst two performances of the year. Well, he wasn’t as terrible in Week 3 but it’s […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Right off the bat we have a struggling running back that I’ve been talking up since June. It pains me to say it, but I’m already vastly disappointed by his usage thus far. Luckily, a lot of Hill’s struggles seem to be tied to just that--usage. It’s been made clear that the Bengals prefer Giovani […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 10/2/15

It’s here: The final Friday of the MLB regular season arrives on October 2nd. It was a long season full of plenty of ups and downs, lessons learned, and, hopefully, spoils won. If you are someone who might continue to try their luck into the MLB Playoffs (hey, we still have some time before NBA […]

Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lance Dunbar is a tough guy to justify putting in your starting lineup, given he was expected to be the third running back on his own depth chart -- and is still just second -- but he has proven productive enough to at least […]

Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 27

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire for Week 27, the final days of the fantasy baseball season. The more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn […]

Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 4 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 4 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings Targets. An introduction is not really all that necessary, as the title of this DFS article pretty much sums up what is going to be discussed. It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices […]

Maikel Franco (Wrist) Activated From DL

The Philadelphia Phillies activated Maikel Franco from the 15-day DL on Thursday. It is unclear on whether the third baseman will play at all over the last four games of the 2015 season. Franco has been sidelined for six weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his right wrist. The good news is that he was […]

Matz (Back) To Start Saturday Or Sunday

Steven Matz is expected to start either Saturday or Sunday against the Washington Nationals. The New York Mets starting pitcher’s scheduled start has been moved twice because of stiffness in the right side of his back. Matz is feeling better, which is why the Mets will throw him out there over the final weekend of […]

Bumgarner Won't Pitch On Sunday's Finale

Madison Bumgarner won't start the in the regular-season finale on Sunday for the San Francisco Giants. There’s no physical issue that is keeping the Giants ace off the mound against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. The 2014 World Series champions are simply going to shut Bumgarner down and let him start to prepare for the […]

Robles Suspended 3 Games For Throwing At Ruf's Head

Hansel Robles has been suspended three games for “intentionally” throwing a pitch in the direction of Darin Ruf’s head. The New York Mets reliever was throwing at the Philadelphia Phillies first baseman in response to Yoenis Cespedes being thrown at earlier. Cespedes injured his hand and wrist when he was drilled. At the time, the […]

Tanaka Likely To Start Wild Card Game For Yankees

Masahiro Tanaka is in line to most likely start the AL Wild Card game on Tuesday for the New York Yankees. The right-hander recently suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain, though he returned on Wednesday. Tanaka allowed four runs in five innings of work in his return against the Boston Red Sox. The 26-year-old is […]

Panthers' Jonathan Stewart Likely a Game-Time Decision

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart has always had a knack for showing up on the injury reports and this season is certainly no different. Stewart is currently dealing with a knee injury that has put his status for week 4 in doubt. The Panthers are reportedly taking a "wait and see" approach on Stewart, […]

Doug Martin Suffers Knee Injury in Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin suffered a knee injury at practice on Wednesday which kept him out of practice on Thursday. Head coach Lovie Smith said Martin is expected to be OK and return to practice on Friday, but this is definitely something worth keeping an eye on. Martin has yet to run […]

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

While Hill owners got to watch their running back stand on the sidelines last Sunday, Dalton owners jumped with joy as their QB amassed well over 35 fantasy points. That explosive outing has Dalton at number three overall in terms of the highest-scoring fantasy quarterbacks, behind only Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers - not bad, not bad at […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Week Four Sell Highs?

Appearing on my list of "sell highs" last week, after igniting the Bears for 30+ fantasy points, Fitz was at it again against the 49ers on Sunday. His fantasy football stock currently resides somewhere between Jupiter and Deep Space. As outrageous as it sounds, it still may not be a bad idea to sell. Fitz has solidified […]

Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffrey Both Highly Questionable

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey are both highly questionable for their week 4 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Cutler is considered 50/50 to play on Sunday due to a hamstring injury while Jeffrey remain limited in practice on Thursday due to his own hamstring injury. Cutler and Jeffrey are a […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Sells?

After loads of talk about Hill assuming a workhorse role in the Bengals backfield, the exact opposite occurred in Week 3. Giovanni Bernard came in early, and rarely left the field. While the Bengals’ pass-happy game plan may have been the determining factor there, the fact that Hill only played on 31% of Cincinnati’s snaps […]

LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins Out vs. Giants

The Buffalo Bills will be without running back LeSean McCoy and wide receiver Sammy Watkins when they face the New York Giants in week 4. McCoy is dealing with a hamstring injury while Watkins has a calf issue. McCoy's absence means Karlos Williams is an absolute must start in all fantasy football leagues. Even if […]

Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues OWNED IN: 12% of fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Regardless of whether Johnny Manziel  or Josh McCown is starting for the Browns, Travis Benjamin is a great choice for PPR and standard leagues. Due to Johnny Manziel's preference for long passes and Benjamin's deep ball capabilities, Travis Benjamin accumulated 204 yards and three […]

Matt Jones (RB, WSH) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

After exploding onto the scene in Week 2, Jones came back to Earth in a big way against the Giants last Thursday. Game flow can be blamed for at least some of that, which bodes well for what looks to be a bright future for the rookie. Yes, the Redskins’ brass still claims that Alfred Morris is […]

DeMarco Murray Is Healthy Enough to Play, But Will He?

Philadelphia Eagles running back, and 2015 fantasy football disappointment, DeMarco Murray practiced in full on Thursday and is expected to play against the Washington Redskins. But then again, Chip Kelly could decide to sit him as a healthy scratch due to how good Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles played last week. Against the tough New […]
