Jared Goff Has Some Upside In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff showed out in Week 2. He finished as the QB12 on the week, and he has the opportunity to do it again in Week 3. This offense is actively working to get the ball out of his hands quickly to his receivers, and it's working to a good amount […]

Akshay Bhatia Looks For Another Strong Performance

Akshay Bhatia is looking to build on his Safeway Open performance, where he finished in a tie for ninth place. This was a nice performance for Bhatia after missing the cut in each of his six starts in 2020. Bhatia was accurate with his approach shots at the Safeway Open, ranking 17th in greens-in-regulation percentage. […]

Chris Baker Looks To Bounce Back At Corales Championship

Chris Baker will make his second start of the season at the Corales Championship. Baker missed the cut at the Safeway Open, where he shot four-under par over two days. Baker made half of his cuts in the 2020 season but finished with just one top-25 in 18 starts. He was accurate with his approach […]

Drew Brees Says He Feels Great

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said he feels "borderline great" despite a disappointing performance in the Monday night loss to the Raiders in Week 2. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer completed 26 of 38 passes for 312 yards, one touchdown and a passer rating of 91.1, but he also threw an ugly interception […]

Ryan Armour Looks To Avoid Three Straight Missed Cuts

Ryan Armour will make his second start of the 2021 season, two weeks after missing the cut at the Safeway Open. Armour has missed back-to-back cuts dating back to the Northern Trust in August. Armour had a tough 2020 season, making just eight cuts in 21 starts. His putting was atrocious and it showed in […]

Rob Gronkowski Better Off On The Bench In Week 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is better left on the bench for the Week 3 matchup against the Broncos. Through two games, QB Tom Brady's old pal has only seen four targets and converted it to 11 yards total. While Gronk can be a game-changing player, he hasn't proved that he can be […]

Chris Godwin A High-End WR2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin will finally return to action in Week 3 after missing last week due to being in the concussion protocol. Last we saw of him in Week 1, he was performing quite well and got 79 yards on seven targets. The Broncos allow the fifth-highest points to opposing WRs […]

Mike Evans Is A WR1 For Week 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a solid WR1 for Week 3 against the Broncos. After a bad Week 1 showing, Evans rebounded with a great Week 2 which saw him accumulate 10 targets and 104 yards. It seems the chemistry between the WR and his new QB Tom Brady is slowly developing […]

Ronald Jones II Only A Flex For This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II should only be considered a flex piece for this week's matchup against Denver. Jones started off the season great with 17 carries in Week 1 before getting only seven carries in Week 2. The direct reason why is the presence of Leonard Fournette, who eclipsed 100 yards […]

Leonard Fournette An RB2 For This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette should be considered an RB2 in this week's contest against the Broncos. The workhorse back finally showed his true colors last week by erupting for 103 rush yards on 12 carries. Nevertheless, this Tampa Bay RBs unit remains a mystery considering Fournette only had five carries for five […]

Evaluating Early Air Yard Data - Week 3

Air yards are becoming a more commonly used statistic for fantasy football purposes. Popularized by Josh Hermsmeyer, who developed metrics like RACR (receiver air conversion ratio) and WOPR (weighted opportunity rating), it is a useful way to dig deeper into receiver performance beyond just targets, receptions, and yards gained. Statistics like Mike Clay's aDoT (average […]

Tom Brady A QB2 For Week 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady should be considered a QB2 for Week 3. Brady has started the season thus far with three touchdowns and three picks while only throwing for 217 and 239 yards, respectively. This week, he will face the Broncos, a team he has often times struggled against. Not helping the matter […]

Welcome to the second week of Tape Tells All, now with 100 percent more tape since the All-22 film is up! If you aren't familiar with this series, I take a guy who did some interesting things this past week, fire up All-22 film and a bunch of advanced stats, and then use those things […]

To gain the biggest edge in your fantasy football league, it's necessary to understand how to apply the advanced statistics being used in sports nowadays. Back in the […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Decline From Week 2

This series carries over from last week, where I dived into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge of how each team's play-caller historically operates and compiled data to help make informed decisions throughout the […]

Exploiting Defensive Matchups with Predictive Analysis - Week 3

With two weeks of data we can start to see which defenses the Predictive Defensive Matchup Chart may have underrated. Keep in mind that two games is a small sample size, so adding in preseason predictive data should help give a more complete picture. Below is the updated chart including Week 3 opponents. There are […]

Joey Slye A Streaming Option For Week 3

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is a viable streaming option in Week 3 against the Chargers. He connected on all three of his field goals last week and two of them were from over 40 yards. In addition, the Chargers have allowed the fourth-most points to kickers. The only downside to Slye this week is […]

Corey Davis's Fantasy Value Is Here To Stay

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis is finally enjoying some semblance of a breakout and it has been long overdue. The former fifth-overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft has had a tumultuous start to his career with injuries, a lack of targets, and generally disappointing performances marring his real-life and fantasy value. Davis's fifth-year […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Devonta Freeman Is Back! Fantasy Outlook in N.Y.

We are only two weeks into the 2020 NFL season and we've already seen some of the biggest studs in the game go down to injury. Michael Thomas went down with an injured ankle in Week 1 and in Week 2, the consensus top-two picks in fantasy drafts, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley both went […]

Panthers Defense Should Not Be Trusted In Week 3

The Carolina Panthers Defense will likely draw a matchup against Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert this Sunday. While it may seem tempting to roll out this defense, it's important to consider that Herbert performed quite well against the Chiefs last week and threw for over 300 yards. In addition, the Panthers just allowed over 30 points […]

Warning Signals From Fantasy Football Week 2

Week 2 of the 2020 NFL season will hit the history books as one of the most injury-ridden slates of games in fantasy football history. On top of the injury madness, we have a lot of players who are currently stepping into different phases of their careers. Some are down trending and others are getting […]

The Cut List (Week 3) - Time to Let Go?

What a brutal week. If your team somehow managed to finish unscathed, lucky you. For those that were impacted, roster decisions will need to be made to make room for players you hope you can plug in and make a positive impact moving forward. Here are this week’s players you can safely drop, and those […]

Ian Thomas Should Remain Benched For Week 3

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas should remain out of lineups in Week 3. He was an absolute non-factor in last week's game and finished with nothing. In Week 1, he accumulated only 13 yards. It's certainly disappointing to see the new TE1 on the team not be a factor at all in the passing […]

So Much for Regression: 2019 Breakouts Continued

Sometimes, players do things that seem unsustainable, and before the next season, the analysis community universally goes "yeah, they're regressing." But what happens when those players just... don't regress? Through two games, we're seeing some examples of players who are sustaining things we didn't think were sustainable. Let's look at some of those things.Be sure […]

Curtis Samuel Is Not A Viable Starter In Week 3

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel is not a viable starter in this week's bout against the Chargers. The dual-threat player only has 51 receiving yards and 31 rushing yards in two weeks. He is now considered the WR3 on the team with the emergence of Robby Anderson and though he could see more rushing […]

Robby Anderson A Flex Piece For Week 3

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson has impressed in his first two games with the team, getting over 100 yards in both and seeing at least eight targets. While it's encouraging to see Anderson start out hot, it remains to be seen if his target share and yardage will remain consistent in the weeks ahead. […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

After an abbreviated preseason with no games and irregular training routines, many expected to see a slew of injuries in the first week of action. Instead, it was Week 2 that inflicted devastating news to several NFL players and franchises, particularly running backs. In the fantasy world, the impact will be felt drastically for those […]
