Drew Lock Does Very Little In Win Over Dolphins

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock was 18-for-30 for 270 yards passing, no touchdowns and one interception in the Week 11 win over the Dolphins. He added two carries for 23 yards on the ground. The Broncos played with positive game script all day, meaning that Lock didn't need to attempt 40-plus passes for the first […]

Rays Designate Hunter Renfroe For Assignment

The Tampa Bay Rays designated outfielder Hunter Renfroe for assignment last Friday to help clear their 40-man roster for three young prospects. Renfroe appeared in 42 games last year (34 starts) during the shortened 2020 season and hit the first grand slam in Rays postseason history during the wild-card sweep of the Blue Jays. However, […]

Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson has been a bit of an afterthought this year with rookie D'Andre Swift (head) and veteran Adrian Peterson both outproducing and outworking him. However, now could be the time to jump on Johnson on the waiver wire […]

Keelan Cole Sr. (WR, JAX) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole Sr. is second on the team in both receptions (36) and receiving yards (453), trailing only D.J. Chark Jr. in both categories. Cole has earned at last five targets in all but two games so far this […]

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins appears to be the most likely Browns receiver to benefit from the absence of Odell Beckham Jr. (ACL), who is out for the season after suffering an ACL tear in Week 7. In the game where the […]

Raiders Defense Allows 35 Points

The Raiders defense had a tough time against the Chiefs explosive offense, allowing 35 points in the loss. They allowed 460 yards of offense, and they also struggled to get off the field on 3rd and 4th down. They have now allowed 30 points or more in half of their games and also struggle to […]

Jordan Akins (TE, HOU) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Jordan Akins has just 55.5 PPR total points through Week 11, he is the TE28 of the NFL right now. That's insane. A borderline TE2 with that point total just shows how slim the position is. Akins' 7.9 PPR per game […]

Robert Tonyan (TE, GB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No freaking tight end is winning you the league, nor your weekly fantasy contests, nor whatever you want to say/write/put in here--unless you have Travis Kelce, obviously. The tight end position is a dessert, and a post-apocalyptic thing bringing only bad things with […]

Henry Ruggs III Hardly Featured In Offense

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was mostly absent in a Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs, catching one pass on his only target for five yards and getting one rushing attempt that went for 12 yards. Ruggs played in over half the team's snaps, but Derek Carr clearly did not look his […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even after two monster games in Weeks 9 and 10 that helped Marquez Valdes-Scantling finish as a WR2 (19.3 PPR) and a WR1 (24.9) respectively, he still didn't seem to earn the benefit of the doubt from fantasy GMs as he entered W11 […]

Myles Garrett Won't Play In Week 12

Cleveland Browns pass-rusher Myles Garrett will miss the Week 12 game against the Jaguars after going on the COVID-19 list, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Garrett was put on the COVID-19 list several days ago and also missed the Week 11 win over the Eagles. He'll now be hoping to return for a Week […]

Hunter Renfrow Catches Two Passes

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow caught just two passes for 37 yards in a Sunday night loss against the Chiefs. This marks three straight games where Renfrow has had only two receptions. He also played in just 34 percent of snaps, which was his lowest since Week 8. Renfrow is a solid possession […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For someone who has dropped below 14 FP just twice this season, and below 10 just once, finding Cousins available in more than half of Yahoo! leagues is a little incredible. Oh, and it is not that Kirk Cousins is averaging just those […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It wouldn't be smart trying to sell Carr for what he's not: a weekly fantasy winner. Although Carr's start to the season was impressive, with five straight 15+ FP performances in the span going from Week 2 to Week 7, he later proceeded […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Larry Fitzgerald is at a point in his infinite career where I don't think nobody would mistake him for what he is not, at least no more. Fitz was a league winner back in the day, but he's just a role player (and […]

Josh Allen's Knee Injury Isn't Serious

Jacksonville Jaguars pass-rusher Josh Allen's (knee) injury isn't believed to be too serious based on the initial diagnosis, but he will undergo more tests on Monday, according to a source. Allen will likely miss some game time, but his injury isn't considered to be a long-term one. Don't be surprised if the seventh overall pick […]

Eagles Officially Sign Jordan Howard

The Philadelphia Eagles officially signed running back Jordan Howard to their practice squad on Monday. Howard was cut by the Dolphins last week after he rushed for 33 yards and four touchdowns on just 28 carries in five games for Miami after signing a one-year deal last offseason. He'll return to Philadelphia where he had […]

Andrew Norwell Week-To-Week

Jacksonville Jaguars offensive guard Andrew Norwell (arm), who suffered an arm injury in the Week 11 loss to the Steelers, is also out for Week 12 against the Browns. Norwell is considered week-to-week, according to a source. A first-team All-Pro as a left guard for the Panthers in 2017, the 29-year-old had played in every […]

Digging Deeper Into Shadow Coverage Impact on Wide Receivers

If you only play redraft fantasy football, you know that no matter what you have to play your studs week in and week out. That is non-negotiable, and your lineup decisions mostly come down to who to play at lower-level spots such as WR3 or FLEX. If you play DFS contests, though, you know that […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Buccaneers vs Rams

After an explosive Thursday Night matchup, we get rewarded with a potential defensive slugfest on Monday Night Football.

Jakeem Grant Disappointing Against Broncos

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. has seen his fantasy value get a slight uptick over the last few weeks. Sadly, Grant wasn't able to do much damage during the Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos. He hauled in two of his six targets for 12 yards in this one. It appears the […]

Nelson Agholor Goes For 88 Yards

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor had a very good game against the Chiefs, catching six passes on a team-high nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown. It was a nice bounce-back performance for Agholor after catching just one pass last week. He once again showed his big-play ability on his 22-yard receiving […]

Mike Gesicki Hauls In Four Receptions

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is finally starting to put together some fantasy value after a disappointing start to the season. He hauled in four of his five targets for 43 yards in the Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos. That performance now makes it three straight games that Gesicki has finished with […]

Tyreek Hill Extends Touchdown Streak

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill extended his touchdown streak to four in Week 11 versus the Las Vegas Raiders and has now scored in 9 of 10 games this season. Hill also caught 11 of his 14 targets for 102 yards. Hill continues to operate with tight end Travis Kelce as the top […]

DeVante Parker Bounces Back In Week 11

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker put together a nice outing after posting a dud the week prior. He hauled in six of his nine targets for 61 yards and one touchdown in the Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos. Tua Tagovailoa was benched in the fourth quarter, so Parker owners were probably happy […]

Josh Jacobs Finds End Zone In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had 17 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown in a loss against the Chiefs. The Chiefs Defense held Jacobs to just 3.2 yards per carry, which was his lowest since Week 7. While yards came a bit difficult, Jacobs was able to find the end zone for […]

Matt Breida A Non-Factor In Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida returned for the Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos after being inactive each of the last two games. He rushed twice for four yards in the loss. Salvon Ahmed remains the lead back and gets a majority of the receiving work in the backfield as well. Breida has […]

Derek Carr Tosses Three Touchdowns

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw for 275 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in a Sunday night loss against the Chiefs. Carr played very well the entire game, and the interception came late in the fourth quarter that sealed the victory for the Chiefs. It was a good a good bounce-back performance for […]
