N'Keal Harry Has Favorable Upside Versus Jets

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (head) is expected to return after sitting out the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He sat out last game due to a concussion, but should play able to suit up against the New York Jets in Week 9. Julian Edelman (knee) is going to be sidelined […]

Rex Burkhead A Desperation Deep League Option

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead put together one huge week and has been a ghost on offense since then. The Pats have a three-back committee, so Burkhead often times gets lost in the shuffle. The good news is, Burkhead does have a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 9. This […]

James White An Unreliable Option Right Now

New England Patriots running back James White appeared to have a significant role in this offense a few weeks ago. However, he has been a forgotten man over the last few weeks. White is basically used exclusively as a receiving back, but hasn't seen the ball thrown his way lately. White does have a favorable […]

Damien Harris Should Run All Over Jets

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) is primed for a big game against the New York Jets in Week 9. This Jets Defense has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to running backs coming into this game. Harris was dealing with an ankle issue last week, but played through it. He rushed 16 times […]

Cam Newton Should Bounce Back Versus Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has cooled down after his hot start to kick off the 2020 season. Newton has only thrown over 200 yards once this entire season. Luckily, Newton has been able to salvage his fantasy value by gaining yards with his legs. Although, it hasn't been enough to put him in […]

Tyler Kroft Has Unfavorable Matchup In Week 9

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft has put together a few decent performances this season, but hasn't been able to find any consistency. He hauled in his lone target for 11 yards in the victory over the New England Patriots in Week 8. Dawson Knox (calf) could return from a three-game absence versus the Seattle […]

Gabriel Davis A Risky Option Versus Seahawks

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis has been a non-factor over the last few weeks. Davis was putting together a few decent performances early in the season, but that has faded away as of late. He has seen six total targets over the last three games. The Bills are playing a shaky secondary in the […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 9

We have reached the midway point of the season. It is at this stage where we can begin to identify which NFL teams will be in championship contention, and which will be preparing for the offseason. However, what is often less clear is which rookies will surge later in the year and which will not. […]

The Colts Running Backs - Jonathan Taylor vs Jordan Wilkins

Entering Week 8, there was still some fantasy hope for Jonathan Taylor. Many fantasy players were patient with him for much of the first half of the season, figuring the best was still yet to come. Other than a 101-yard outing in Week 2, though, Taylor had simply not shown a lot of upside as […]

Nyheim Hines Unlikely To Duplicate Week 8 Performance

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines was able to find the end zone twice against the Lions last week. His two touchdowns marks the first time he was able to score since Week 1. After a couple decent starts to the year with potential flex value, Hines had been hardly noticeable up until last week. […]

Zach Pascal An Unreliable Option In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal will enter this week as the WR1 on the Colts depth chart due to an injury to T.Y. Hilton. Pascal has played at least 70 percent of the team's snaps in every week but one so far this season, but it has not led to great production. He does […]

Ryan Succop A Starting Option For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop is a starting option this week versus the Saints. Succop has been efficient this season, going 15-for-17 in field-goal attempts and 26-for-27 in extra-point attempts. The Saints offer a generally favorable matchup for kickers and Succop's great output this season means he is a decent starting option.

Buccaneers Defense Better Left On Bench

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is not an ideal starting option this week. Despite the strength of this unit, it is quite risky to trust them against a Saints team that gave them fits in Week 1 and should have Michael Thomas back to join Alvin Kamara and Drew Brees. In addition, struggling QB Daniel […]

Rob Gronkowski A TE1 This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is a TE1 against the Saints this week. Gronk has been playing effectively the past few weeks as he has three touchdowns in the past three games along with at least 40 yards in five of the past six games. The Saints allow the fourth-most points to fantasy […]

Tough To Trust Jordan Wilkins Against Ravens

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins had a surprising 20 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown last week against the Lions. While the Colts are still confident in rookie Jonathan Taylor, offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni was impressed by Wilkins' performance. The coaching staff stated that they will continue to explore ways to incorporate Wilkins […]

Antonio Brown A Flex This Week

Newly acquired Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown should be considered a flex piece this week. Brown returns to the NFL after a tumultuous year and will look to build his rapport with Tom Brady. In one game with the former New England QB last year, the WR had a 4/56/1 line. It remains […]

Kenyan Drake Won't Play In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Dolphins. Drake was injured in Week 7 and had the bye week to heal up, but he'll miss at least one game. Chase Edmonds will step in as the replacement against Miami, and he should see the lion's share […]

Chris Godwin A WR2 Against Saints If Active

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin should be considered a WR2 versus the Saints if active. It's been a frustrating season for Godwin who hasn't been able to stay on the field. The addition of Antonio Brown could also affect the fantasy values of the Tampa WRs. Nevertheless, Godwin's role and value in this […]

Philip Rivers Looks For Another Strong Performance

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers has started to find his groove over the last two games, throwing for a total of six touchdowns and one interception. The last two games against the Bengals and Lions were fairly favorable matchups, but things will likely be a bit more difficult against the Ravens this week. The Ravens […]

Mike Evans A WR2 For This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a WR2 this week versus the Saints. Evans has had an inconsistent campaign this year and has eclipsed 100 yards in two of eight games. He had a decent week last week against the Giants (5/55/1) and has a chance to build on that performance in what […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable Against Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) is listed as questionable for the divisional matchup in Week 9 against the Chargers. Jacobs got in a full practice on Wednesday and was limited on Friday, so he should be good to go for this one and should remain in the RB1 ranks this weekend. […]

Leonard Fournette A Lower-End RB2 For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette should be considered a lower-end RB2 for Week 9. In the past two weeks, Fournette has recorded 50 and 52 rushing yards, which is more than Ronald Jones II. The former Jaguar also had more carries than Jones last week (15 vs. 7). Now, it seems both Tampa […]
