Seahawks Running Back Marshawn Lynch to Play Today Against the Bears

According to Ian Rapoport, Seahawks Running Back Marshawn Lynch will play at home today against the Chicago Bears. Lynch was limited in practice this week with a calf injury, but with him in the lineup, he should be in your lineup. I expect RB1 production for Lynch today against a Bears defense that ranks 10th […]

Rams Rookie Todd Gurley to Make NFL debut

According to Chris Mortensen, Todd Gurley will make his NFL debut today at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gurley is a high-risk/high-reward fantasy option for this week as it is unclear how many snaps he will play. With Gurley healthy, it is safe to drop Benny Cunningham in fantasy leagues. The debut of Gurley is […]

Chris Ivory Likely In, Eric Decker Out Against The Eagles

According to Ian Rapoport, Chris Ivory expects to play in Week 3 and Eric Decker is out with a PCL sprain at home against the Philadelphia Eagles today. With Ivory likely to play, Bilal Powell is not as intriguing of a fantasy option anymore and he should be relegated to the bench or waiver wire. […]

Isaiah Crowell (RB, CLE) - Week 3 Matchups Analysis

After a rough showing against the Jets  in Week 1 (who isn’t going to have a rough showing against that defense this year?), Isaiah Crowell bounced back with a strong showing against Tennessee in Week 2, rushing for 72 yards and a touchdown. His long term fantasy football upside may be limited, as he’s sharing […]

Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams Still Questionable for Week 3

As of the time of this writing, both Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams are still listed as questionable for their Week 3 matchups with the Kansas City Chiefs. Both players sustained ankle injuries in Week 2 versus the Seahawks, and were forced to leave the game. Adams eventually returned on a limited basis, but Lacy remained out […]

Five Corner Infield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 26

This will be the last installment of this column for 2015. We've officially entered the Catastrophic Countdown phase of the season, so some of you may need to throw caution to the wind and get even more granular. At this point, names and track records don't really matter. Take production anywhere you can find it. […]

Week 3 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Week Three Booms QB Russell Wilson, SEA: The Seahawks are much better than their 0-2 record indicates.  The Bears are not.  Chicago has been gashed for seven passing touchdowns already this season, which is worst in the league.  Enter a Seattle passing attack still looking to incorporate it's new, shiny toy in Jimmy Graham.  The Seahawks […]

Week 3 Boom/Bust Candidates for Early Games

By now you're likely starting to get a feel for your team, but as the first two weeks have shown, just about everything we think we know is wrong. DeMarco Murray and Andrew Luck have been disappointing, Alfred Morris is being replaced, Jimmy Graham is barely being targeted, Peyton Manning can't throw anymore and Adrian […]

Chris Polk (RB, HOU) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I think Polk will act as the lead back on Sunday for Houston who looks to again be without Arian Foster. This is a team that has to get something going on the ground, because Ryan Mallett is certainly not going to be carrying them through the air. So far it's been a pretty even split […]

Stevie Johnson (WR, SD) - Week 3 Matchups Analysis

Somewhat of a surprise starter in San Diego after a ho-hum season at San Francisco, Stevie Johnson seems to have regained the form that lead him to three straight thousand yard seasons with the Bills. He’s converting targets to receptions at an excellent rate (11 catches on 12 targets), and has managed to snag a […]

Devin Funchess (WR, CAR) - Sneaky Week 3 Adds

A fantasy darling in the offseason after the Kelvin Benjamin injury, it's time for Funchess to show a sign of being able to be a usable receiver, or we may need to forget his name for the rest of the season. He's done virtually nothing up to this point, but head coach Ron Rivera said […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote Beasley up here last week, and I'm doing so again. Even after the four catch for 14 yard day against the Eagles in Week 2, I'm a believer. Listen - Dez Bryant is out, Jason Witten is hurt, and Brandon Weeden is going to need to hit some short quick hitting routes to get in a […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote up McCluster earlier in the week, calling him a hail mary play for Week 3. I still feel the same about McCluster - he is a boom or bust candidate that likely depends on hitting a big play. But I love McCluster's talent, and it's just a matter of whether or not he […]

Beating the Week Three Waiver Wire: Last Minute Adds

Welcome to Week 3 of the season RotoBallers. Every week we analyze, strategize, and materialize the best lineup for Sunday. Most of that work is already finished. You had better already moved Le'Veon back into your starting lineup. You should have already picked up Starks to protect your Lacy investment, or to dangle him in front […]

Sneaky Week 3 Starts: Nick Foles, Isaiah Crowell, Heath Miller & More

Week Three! It's almost time to finalize those lineups... This may be your last chance to find those sneakier players for your Week 3 lineups - players who have great matchups - as you try to surprise your opponents. Hopefully they are still blindly starting their highest drafted players. Here’s a look at five under-the-radar fantasy options, one at each […]

Carlos Martinez (Shoulder) To Undergo MRI, Out For Season

Carlos Martinez is scheduled to undergo an MRI Saturday after he was forced to exit Friday’s game early with tightness in his pitching shoulder. The St. Louis Cardinals right-hander only recorded one out on Friday before he was forced to leave the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. Unfortunately, the NL Central leading Cardinals will lose the […]

Brandon Marshall (WR, NYJ) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

In pure talent terms, Brandon Marshall may be a top 10 NFL wide receiver. Coming into the 2015 season though, some were concerned the injuries may have added up - and even more analysts were concerned about his role on a bad offense. Through the first two weeks, the Jets offense has performed quite well […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Week 3 Lineup Busts?

Two words: Revis Island. Not only does the Eagles offense look terrible so far this season, they’ll be headed to Metlife Stadium to face one of the league’s better looking defenses. Jordan Matthews has had a solid start to the season, so chances are good that you won’t bench him. And I understand that, especially […]

Andre Johnson (WR, IND) - Week 3 Lineup Busts

Andre Johnson is starting to look like a fixture on the bust list this season. Drafted as a WR2 in most formats, Johnson has looked slow and uninspiring thus far. It appears that wide receiver Donte Moncrief is poised to move ahead of the veteran receiver for good, dropping Johnson to the number four option on […]

Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Week 3 Lineup Booms

Anyone who understands the nature of running backs in fantasy football knows that value is all about volume. The more touches a runner has, the better. Without Dez Bryant or Tony Romo for the foreseeable future, an uptick in carries for Joseph Randle is inevitable going forward. Dallas certainly aren’t going to put their trust […]

T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Speaking of the Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck’s primary wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is off to a slow start as well. A large part of that, perhaps even most of it, has been due to the fact that Hilton has been banged up to start the year. He entered week one questionable with a concussion, which […]

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

Remember when quarterback Aaron Rodgers told everyone to R.E.L.A.X. last year? That’s exactly what I’m going to tell you to do if you own Andrew Luck. Relax. He’s going to be just fine. Luck’s first two games were against tough defenses in the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. With the Tennessee Titans on deck, […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Players Showing Warning Signals

I would like to begin this little blurb by paraphrasing the great Bob Ryan of The Boston Globe and ESPN’s Around the Horn fame. With how little Jimmy Graham has been utilized in the passing game, Ryan made the analogy that this would be the equivalent of the Seattle Mariners signing Nelson Cruz just to […]

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

Of all the players on my warning signals list this week, Cincinnati running back Jeremy Hill is the one that seems to have raised the most eyebrows. Through two weeks, Hill only has 102 rushing yards but does have two touchdowns, both of which came in Week One. The more worrisome tidbit of information is the […]
