Darrell Henderson Jr. Could See More Work Against Jets

It's rare that you can feel comfortable starting multiple running backs from the same team, but that could be the case for Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. in Week 15 against the New York Jets. There is a strong case to be made that the Rams are going to have a commanding […]

Cam Akers Is A Solid Start In Week 15

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers has finally arrived, and he has the chance to repeat his strong performance from Week 14 in Week 15 against the New York Jets. The Jets have a decent run defense, which is about the only thing this team does well, but Akers and the Rams have […]

Broncos Defense Not In Play Against The Bills

The Denver Broncos Defense has overachieved this year despite losing defensive MVP Von Miller to a season-ending ankle injury before the regular season. They rank 19th in the league in overall defense but have been surprisingly good against the passing game despite having an inexperienced secondary. However, top cornerback A.J. Bouye is suspended for the […]

Jared Goff Lacks A High Ceiling In Week 15

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has arguably the best matchup in the NFL in Week 15 against the New York Jets, but that doesn't guarantee it will translate to a great fantasy outing. In Week 14, the Jets mustered just three points against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Rams have a significantly better defense. […]

Jason Myers A Low-End Streaming Option

Heading into Week 15, Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers remains in the same category that he's been in all year against the Washington Football Team. His team remains efficient in the red zone, which results in fewer field-goal opportunities, but he gets plenty of chances to score extra points. You're rarely going to get a […]

Seahawks Defense A Viable Play In Week 15

After being one of the softer units for much of the season, the Seattle Seahawks Defense has entered fantasy relevance over the last few weeks, and they'll be a low-end fantasy defensive unit in Week 15 against the Washington Football Team. Washington ranks 24th in the NFL in adjusted sack rate, and  quarterback Alex Smith […]

Tyler Lockett Could Struggle In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett started the year hot, and outside of a couple of rare outings in the last couple of months, he has failed to recapture that early spark. In Week 15 against the Washington Football Team, it's going to be tough to trust him to produce. Washington is allowing the third-fewest […]

D.K. Metcalf A Must-Start Against Washington

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf had a strong rookie season, and he's more than built on that throughout the course of his second season heading into Week 15 matchup against the Washington Football Team. Metcalf is averaging nearly 19 fantasy points per game and he's scored 13 or more in all but two games […]

Chris Carson Is An RB2 In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson doesn't have the best matchup in Week 15, but you still have to start him as an RB2 against the Washington Football Team. Since returning from his injury, Carson has scored a touchdown in three straight games. If it hadn't been for a major blowout against the New York […]

Russell Wilson Has A Tougher Matchup In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson remains the QB3 on the year and he bounced back from some quiet performances in Week 14. However, in Week 15 you're playing him with a bit of caution in mind. The Washington Football Team has been rolling of late with four straight wins, and they've been riding a defense […]

Michael Thomas Ruled Out Against Chiefs

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Chiefs. It's extremely bad timing, as not only is this weekend the fantasy semifinals for most leagues, but the Saints are also getting quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) back on Sunday, which was going to be a boost […]

Brandon McManus Needs To Be Avoided

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus shouldn't be in any starting fantasy lineups this weekend for a Week 15 matchup against the Bills on Saturday. McManus landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week as a high-risk close contact of someone outside the organization that tested positive for the virus. The 29-year-old could still be cleared […]

Russell Gage A Flex Option Against Tampa Bay

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has put together a strong season for his team. Gage has posted career-highs in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns during this campaign. The 24-year-old has been hot as of late, with at least seven targets and 50 receiving yards in each of his last two games. Gage has […]

Matthew Stafford Officially Questionable For Week 15

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant on Friday and is officially questionable for Week 15 against the Titans. It was reported earlier that Stafford didn't practice Friday, so his limited session is at least somewhat encouraging after he missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. But fantasy managers should be […]

Calvin Ridley An Elite Play

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley will again be in line for more targets with Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined for a Week 15 battle with the Buccaneers. Ridley capitalized on the absence of Jones last week, putting up an 8-124-1 line against the Chargers. In games where he's seen 10 or more targets, the star […]

Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB3 Against Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II has been struggling since his return to the field two weeks ago. The former Ram has failed to exceed 20 rushing yards in back-to-back games and gets another tough matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 15. While not the immovable object they were earlier in the year, Tampa […]

Jimmy Graham, Khalil Mack Questionable Against Vikings

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham (hip) and outside linebacker Khalil Mack (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Vikings. Graham and Mack were both limited in practice on Friday, giving them a good shot to suit up. Even if Graham is active, he's an extremely unattractive touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2. Cole […]

Matt Ryan Should Be Avoided In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan gets an easier matchup on paper against the Buccaneers in Week 15. Tampa Bay's defense was stout against the pass earlier in the year but has slipped up recently, as they've allowed the eighth-most passing yards in the last four weeks. Despite their recent vulnerabilities, Ryan is hard to trust […]

Austin Hooper, David Njoku Questionable

Cleveland Browns tight ends Austin Hooper (neck) and David Njoku (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday night. Cornerbacks Denzel Ward (calf) and Kevin Johnson (groin) are also questionable. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expects Ward and Hooper to play. Even though Hooper should be active, he's not a […]

Wyatt Teller Ruled Out For Sunday Night

Cleveland Browns offensive guard Wyatt Teller (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday night. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Teller is "week-to-week," so there's no guarantee he'll be back for Week 16. Teller's absence this weekend will be a downgrade to Cleveland's rushing attack, but Nick Chubb remains […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Drawing Plenty Of Interest

Free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. is drawing interest from the Phillies, Cubs and Blue Jays, among other teams. The 30-year-old is coming off a 2020 season in which he posted a 118 OPS+, his best mark since 2016. The Red Sox also remain interested in re-signing Bradley despite recently adding outfielder Hunter Renfroe. "The door […]

Padres Interested In Sonny Gray

The San Diego Padres are looking for another starting pitcher and have interest in Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray. Mike Clevinger (elbow) is set to miss all of the 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. San Diego's payroll in 2021 will likely be lower than last season's non-prorated Opening Day mark of around $150 […]

Trevor Bauer Too Expensive For The Reds

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is too expensive for the Cincinnati Reds, so he won't be returning to the team in 2021 and beyond. Bauer's National League Cy Young season in 2020 helped the team end their six-year playoff drought, however. The right-hander declined the team's $18.9 million qualifying offer in November, assuring that the […]

Daniel Jones, Evan Engram Questionable

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) and tight end Evan Engram (calf) are listed as questionable for Sunday night against the Browns. Jones has been extremely limited the last couple days and could be a game-time decision against Cleveland after tweaking his ankle in the Week 14 loss to the Cardinals. The second-year […]

Matt Barnes Penciled In As Red Sox Closer

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that relief pitcher Matt Barnes is currently penciled in as the team's closer for the 2021 season. The 30-year-old right-hander had nine saves in 13 tries last year, with most of them coming after the club traded Brandon Workman to the Phillies. "If the season started tomorrow and […]

Red Sox Expect A Better J.D. Martinez In 2021

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora thinks outfielder/designated hitter J.D. Martinez will have a much better season in 2021. Martinez was fourth in the American League MVP voting in 2018 after he hit 43 home runs and led the league with 130 RBI while helping the Red Sox to a franchise-record 108 wins and a […]

Brewers Confident Christian Yelich Will Bounce Back

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell is confident that former MVP outfielder Christian Yelich's 2020 hitting struggles won't carry over into the 2021 season. Yelich won consecutive National League batting titles in 2018 and 2019 in his first two years with the team, but he batted just .205 with 12 home runs and 22 RBI in […]

Denzel Mims A Low-End PPR Option

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims has been a popular option in the passing game over the last few weeks. He has seen 36 targets since making his NFL debut in Week 7. Sadly, Mims was unable to play last week, but is expected to suit up versus the Los Angeles Rams in Week […]
