Mike Evans Needs Bounce-Back Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans wasn't able to make much of an impact during last week's playoff victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran wideout hauled in three of his seven targets for 48 yards in the win. Evans is normally the deep threat option for this offense, but was held in check […]

Rachaad White Likely To Remain Heavily Involved

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White continues to be the workhorse back in this offense. White has posted back-to-back games with over 70 rushing yards, which is nice to see. However, White hasn't seen much involvement in the passing game, which is hurting his fantasy value. He has also been held out of the […]

Is Oneil Cruz Healthy Or Injured? Fantasy Baseball Injury Update

Other than some flashes of the power stroke and some fine defensive play, Oneil Cruz's start to his MLB career was somewhat unremarkable. Through August 2022, his stat line was .202-11-35-26-6 with a wOBA of .286 and wRC+ of 81 in 230 PA. It wasn't until late 2022 that he started to display his full […]

FIP/xFIP: Using Sabermetrics for 2024 Fantasy Baseball

While we've only examined how to evaluate hitters using advanced stats thus far, sabermetrics are just as useful for pitchers. The first advanced pitching stat most fantasy managers encounter is Fielding Independent Pitching or FIP. FIP measures a pitcher's actual skill instead of the effects of luck or his supporting cast. According to DIPS (Defense […]

O'Brien served as the New England Patriots' offensive coordinator in 2203 and has been the head coach of the Houston Texans as well as in the Big Ten at Penn State. Ohio State head […]

The Ravens Defense A Solid Option Against Texans

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams has been one of the best units in all of fantasy football this season despite playing in a few shootouts throughout the year. They've been the highest-scoring defense and they have capitalized on plenty of sack opportunities and turnovers. In Week 1, the Ravens defense only allowed nine points to […]

Isaiah Likely Could Be A High-Quality Start

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely proved that he could be a big-time playmaker in the team's offense ever since Mark Andrews (ankle) went down with an ankle injury in Week 11. In that short span, Likely caught 21 of his 30 targets for 322 yards and five touchdowns. In comparison, he had just nine […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Draws Tough Matchup In Divisional Round

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has had a rollercoaster of a year in terms of fantasy performances. He wasn't the number-one receiver and a lot of the time, either Mark Andrews or Isaiah Likely received more targets than him too. He did still break off big plays throughout the year that got him […]

Justice Hill Not The Best Option Versus Texans

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been a boom-or-bust type of fantasy player all year long, but he's seen a lot more busts than booms. His bigger appeal comes in PPR formats since he seems to be the favored back when it comes to passing downs, but he barely cracked the top 60 this […]

Gus Edwards Remains A Risky Option Against Texans

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has never instilled confidence into fantasy managers when they need to start him. There isn't really anyone in the Ravens backfield that is a surefire fantasy lineup lock, and it's been that way for a long time now. The Houston Texans sit right around the middle of the pack […]

Lamar Jackson Looks To Shake Off Playoff Woes

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson turned in another incredible season as he led the team to the top seed in the AFC and a first-round bye. Now, he and the Ravens will take on the Houston Texans, a team full of young talent, to try and erase all of the playoff doubts throughout his career. […]

Texans Defense Too Risky To Start In Divisional Round

The Houston Texans defense is coming off their best game of the season, and they'll look to carry that into the Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens. Houston's defense scored 21 fantasy points last week behind four sacks, two interceptions, and two touchdowns. But that type of performance surely isn't sustainable against this Ravens' offense. […]

Dalton Schultz Has Low Floor In Tough Divisional-Round Matchup

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz will look to get more involved in Saturday's Divisional Round matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Schultz caught just one pass last week in the Wild-Card Round win against the Cleveland Browns. But it happened to go for a 37-yard touchdown. The 27-year-old will have another tough matchup against a […]

Robert Woods Good To Go For The Divisional Round

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) is cleared to play against the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round. Woods has been dealing with a hip issue for several weeks now. But the veteran will play through it once again on Saturday. He saw limited playing time last week after seeing just 33% of the […]

Nico Collins Has Safe Floor In Divisional Round

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has been heavily involved offensively, and that shouldn't change in the team's Divisional Round matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has played wide receivers tough all year and allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to that position group in 2023. But they will be without top cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) […]
