DeAndre Hopkins Making a Legitimate Case as Top NFL Wideout

While fans simply rave about Julio Jones and his 49 catches for 638 yards and four touchdowns (rightfully so), he may have some competition for the best wide receiver in the NFL. While the Houston Texans are sitting with just a 2-4 record, you simply can't overlook the season that DeAndre Hopkins is putting together. […]

Let Andre Ellington Warm Your Bench

With Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington playing just 9-of-72 offensive snaps on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he is no longer worth any starting consideration. Chris Johnson is clearly the team's starting running back. He played 39 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, rookie David Johnson played 23 snaps. It's possible that Ellington isn't 100 percent healthy […]

Alshon Jeffery Shines in Return to Action, but Bears Still Lose in Overtime

Alshon Jeffery returned to action on Sunday for the Chicago Bears, posting a stat line of eight receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown. He garnered 11 targets from Jay Cutler in a shootout with the Detroit Lions, and while his stellar effort was squandered in an overtime loss, the Bears have to feel good […]

Martavis Bryant Explodes in 2015 Debut

Martavis Bryant was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season, and then missed an additional game last week due to a knee injury. Bryant finally saw the field on Sunday, and while he was mostly quiet (along with the rest of the Steelers' offense) with Mike Vick under center, things changed in […]

Percy Harvin Not Expected in London

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Percy Harvin is not expected to make the trip to London with his teammates for their Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Harvin is currently dealing with a hip injury and according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, he could miss "significant time." Considering Harvin's injury history, his fantasy football […]

Julian Edelman Can’t Help But Find the End-Zone

New England Patriots’ wide receiver Julian Edelman can’t help but find the end-zone. Last night, Edelman turned in yet another stellar performance catching 6-of-10 targets for 50 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Patriots’ redemptive win over the Indianapolis Colts. Though the Colts were clearly outmatched by the defending Super Bowl champions, Sunday night’s […]

Donte Moncrief Outshines T.Y. Hilton, Yet Again

In Sunday night’s Week 6 loss against the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver Donte Moncrief successfully brought in 6-of-11 targets for 69 total receiving yards and a touchdown. While nothing out-of-this-world, Moncrief’s solid numbers were enough to have him statistically, once again, outplaying standout wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. As arguably the best highlight […]

Though Nabbing a Touchdown, Gronkowski Relatively Quiet In Patriots’ Win

Generally speaking, New England Patriots’ wide receiver Rob Gronkowski is a force to be reckoned with out on the field. In Sunday night’s Week 6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, however, he was relatively tame. Still, Gronkowski managed to score a touchdown to help his team seek revenge against the accusatory Colts, thus putting a […]

Danny Amendola’s Big Week 6 Performance Little More Than an Outlier

Though successfully securing 7-of-9 targets for a total of 105 receiving yards in the New England Patriots’ Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts, it’s unlikely Danny Amendola’s performance was little more than a statistical outlier. Not only did seven of Amendola’s Tom Brady targets come in the first half, but so too did 87 […]

Melvin Gordon Benched for Fumbling

San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will need to learn how to hold onto the football if he wants to become the team's lead back. Gordon, who had just seven carries for 29 yards on Sunday, didn't get a single carry after halftime due to a pair of first-half fumbles. The Chargers have plenty […]

Once Again, Andre Johnson Fails to Live Up to His Name

As a member of the Houston Texans, believe it or not, Andre Johnson was widely considered one of the better receivers in the NFL. If you’ve just started following him this year, more than likely, you’re wondering how this ever could’ve been. Once again, taking a backseat in the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 6 loss to […]

Injuries Aside, T.Y. Hilton Leads Colts’ Receiving Core In Week 6 Loss to Patriots

Thus far, this season has been a tough one for Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. Having dealt with injury concerns for much of the season, he’s been unable to make the very plays that have solidified him as a top-tier receiver in the NFL in recent years. However, with the majority of nagging injuries […]

LeGarrette Blount Makes His Presence Known In Week 6 Win Over Colts

When the New England Patriot’s Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts was all said and done, there was little doubt that LeGarrette Blount had showed up to play. In the Patriots’ 34-27 victory, Blount managed to rush for 93 yards on 16 carries, punching in a pair of touchdowns in the process. Even sweeter […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Derek Carr, Ryan Fitzpatrick & Brian Hoyer

The Week 6 QB streams gave us two big hits and one miss. The miss was Teddy Bridgewater, as the Vikings did not come out of the bye swinging like I hoped. Blake Bortles was a big hit once again. Even though he had three interceptions, it did not hurt his fantasy performance. Bortles has […]

Keenan Allen Has Another Monster Game

There are fewer players in the NFL who can be considered more of a wildcard in the world of fantasy football than Keenan Allen. The mercurial San Diego Chargers' wide receiver provides all of the upside in the world for his owners but can also provide games in which he produces very little. This past Sunday […]

What Is Wrong With Eddie Lacy?

For all of the Eddie Lacy owners out there who thought that last week's performance from the 25-year-old back was rock bottom, think again. After putting forth a disappointing performance last week against the St. Louis Rams in which he rushed the ball 13 times for a meager 27 yards, Lacy had one of the worst […]

Cam Newton Making an MVP Case in Unique Way

Cam Newton isn't your normal, everyday quarterback. Not by a long shot. What Newton does is special for a quarterback, and it's getting noticed, as his Carolina Panthers are off to a 5-0 start.

Philip Rivers Lights It up for Fantasy Owners Despite Loss

For Philip Rivers, Week 6 was one for the ages statistically. Unfortunately, it didn't result in the San Diego Chargers leaving Lambeau Field with a victory. The Chargers lost another game in heartbreaking fashion, as the Green Bay Packers stopped them four times straight from inside the five to preserve a 27-20 victory. Now, enough […]

Chris Ivory Destroys Washington as the Jets Fly to Victory

The Washington Redskins have a reputation for having a good run defense, but it appears that Chris Ivory didn't get the memo. He was electric on Sunday for the New York Jets as they rolled to a 34-20 victory over Washington. Ivory finished the game with 20 carries for 146 yards and a touchdown, while […]

Alfred Morris Set for Big Workload with Matt Jones Inactive.

The Washington Redskins backfield has been tough to figure out this year, but things should be a little easier in Week 6. Matt Jones has been officially declared inactive against the New York Jets. The Redskins will have a tough time moving the ball in either phase of the game against a tough Jets defense, […]

LeSean McCoy Set for Limited Role in Week 6

The good news for fantasy football managers is that LeSean McCoy is set to suit up for the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, he's not a RB1 play, because he is not expected to take on a full workload in his first game back from battling the injury. The Cincinnati Bengals have been vulnerable to the run, […]

Peyton Manning Takes on Father Time and Mother Nature in Week 6

It's been a rough start to the season for Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. Through five weeks he has averaged 246.8 passing yards per game, has just one 300-yard passing game and has thrown just six touchdowns to go with his seven interceptions. Father time is undefeated, and he looks to be taking down Manning […]

Andrew Luck Back Against the Patriots on Sunday Night

After missing the last two games, Andrew Luck is expected to return tonight against the Patriots according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

After hauling in just one catch for three yards last week against the Houston Texans, expect Donte Moncrief to get back to his breakout year for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6.

T.J. Yeldon Inactive for the Jaguars Today

T.J. Yeldon, who was limited in practice throughout the week with a groin injury, will be inactive today against the Texans according to Mark Long. In his place will be Denard Robinson, who rushed for 582 yards and four touchdowns last season. Robinson is a solid start this week, but he does face a Texans […]

Lamar Miller Still Looking for Breakout Game

With 37 rush attempts for an abysmal 131 rushing yards in four games, Lamar Miller is still seeking his first touchdown of the season as well as a rushing performance of more than 55 yards in a game.

Sammy Watkins In, E.J. Manuel Making Bid for Starting Job

According to Adam Schefter, Sammy Watkins will return to the lineup for the Buffalo Bills after missing the last two weeks with a calf injury.
