Domantas Sabonis' Double-Double Streak Ends at 13 Games

Indiana Pacers power forward Domantas Sabonis saw his double-double streak come to an end on Friday night against the Sacramento Kings. Although the streak is over, Sabonis still had a useful night for fantasy purposes. He had 15 points, nine rebounds, six assists and two blocks while shooting 6-for-13 from the field. Sabonis has been […]

Buddy Hield Held To Seven Points

For the first time since October and just the third time this season, Buddy Hield was held below 10 points. On Friday night, the Sacramento Kings shooting guard went 3-for-15 from the field and made one of his nine three-point attempts. He managed to somewhat salvage his fantasy night with eight rebounds and six assists, […]

Richaun Holmes Has Team-High 20 Points And Nine Rebounds

Sacramento Kings power forward Richaun Holmes was a bright spot for his team on Friday night. In the 119-105 loss to the Indiana Pacers, Holmes had 20 points, nine rebounds and one block in 24 minutes of playing time. He hit nine of his 10 shots for a season-high field-goal percentage of 90%. Holmes hasn't […]

Ian Kinsler Announces Retirement

14-year veteran second baseman Ian Kinsler (neck) announced his retirement from baseball on Friday. The 37-year-old said the herniated cervical disc that ended his 2019 season with the Padres in August played a factor in his decision. He'll end his career just one hit shy of 2,000, with 257 home runs, 909 RBI and 243 […]

Martin Maldonado Returns To Astros

The Houston Astros re-signed catcher Martin Maldonado to a two-year, $7 million deal on Friday, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deal. The defensive whiz played in just 27 games for the Astros last year after being acquired from the Cubs. He's certainly a better real-life player than a fantasy one, as he […]

Mecole Hardman is Shaky Option for Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has six touchdowns this season, but unfortunately has lost fantasy value since the return of Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins. Hardman has seen three total targets over the last three games. He's shown he can contribute in the offense, but Hill, Watkins, and Travis Kelce are priorities over […]

Travis Kelce Should Be Reliable Versus Chicago

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is coming off one of his best performances of the season. Kelce caught 11 of his 13 targets for 142 yards in the Week 15 victory over the Broncos. Fantasy owners in PPR leagues we're thrilled by the play of Kelce last week. He has a chance to […]

Sammy Watkins Looks to End Scoreless Drought

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins has been unable to live up to the hype of his enormous Week 1 performance against the Jaguars. He caught three touchdowns for almost 200 total yards in that one. Watkins hasn't been able to get over 64 yards in any game since that Week 1 contest. He's […]

Tyreek Hill Remains WR1 Against Bears

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is coming off a Week 15 performance where he torched the Broncos Defense for two touchdowns. Hill has finished with at least 50 yards or more over the last three weeks. Hill has been banged up with injuries at times, but when he's healthy, he's a WR1 each […]

Red Zone Usage Risers and Fallers - Week 16

This is it! Battle stations! If you are still alive at this point- congratulations! Now lets get you that championship! As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a touchdown, so those touches are important to target. To identify the […]

Spencer Ware is Lost in the Shuffle

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware was signed just a few weeks ago and has already made an impact on the field. Ware wasn't able to do enough on the field to warrant ownership in basically any formats. Damien Williams (ribs) return for the Week 16 matchup in Chicago basically kills any fantasy value […]

Darwin Thompson is Falling Off the Fantasy Radar

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson has been more involved in the offense since Damien Williams (ribs) went down. He's been able to create some fantasy value in PPR leagues with the extra playing time. However, Williams is expected to return for the Week 16 matchup with the Chicago Bears. It's unclear how much […]

LeSean McCoy Should Have Reduced Role in Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has seen more opportunities with Damien Williams (ribs) sidelined the last three games. Williams is expected to return for the Week 16 matchup with the Chicago Bears. McCoy should return to his normal role behind Williams in the backfield. McCoy wasn't able to take advantage of the extra […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Be Efficient in Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has struggled in three of his last four games coming into Week 16. However, Mahomes is coming off a 340 yard performance against the Denver Broncos. He's set to do battle against the Chicago Bears Defense in Week 16. The Bears defense has been solid against quarterbacks, but Mahomes […]

Budda Baker A Low-End DB1

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker has slipped out of the top 12 defensive backs over the last five weeks. He has 40 total tackles in the four games, but he hasn't done anything else. The Seattle Seahawks have allowed the third-most fantasy points to defensive backs the last five weeks. Baker is a low-end DB1 […]

Chandler Jones Should Not Start This Week

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones has been kept in check the last five weeks with 18 total tackles and 3.5 sacks. He's a player that lives and dies on sacks, and the Seattle Seahawks have allowed just four sacks during the span. There isn't enough meat on the bone to start Jones this week.

Zane Gonzalez Should Sit This Week

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez may be fifth in fantasy points at the position for the season, but he is 28th the last five weeks as the offense hasn't given him many chances. He's 4-for-4 in field goals and 10-for-11 in extra points. The Seattle Seahawks are a tough matchup as kickers are only 3-for-4 […]

Larry Fitzgerald A PPR Flex Candidate

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is still serviceable in point-per-reception leagues with 67 grabs for 711 yards and three scores. However, he's just not dependable on a game-by-game basis with six and seven-point efforts. The Seattle Seahawks are a midrange matchup, and Fitz had five grabs for 47 yards against them earlier this season. […]

David Johnson Still Just A Backup

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has had just 14 touches in the last three games as the team has clearly moved on from him. Expect them to part ways in the offseason. Johnson is worth holding onto as a handcuff to running back Kenyan Drake, but he shouldn't be started against the Seattle Seahawks.

Kenyan Drake A Boom-Or-Bust Play

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake put on a show for the ages last week with 22 rushes for 137 yards and four touchdowns. It vaulted him to 15th over the last five weeks in point-per-reception leagues after he did zilch the previous four weeks. Drake has been tapered back in the receiving game to […]

Kyler Murray Should Ride The Pine

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray really hit a wall the last five weeks after he was a low-end QB1 for much of the season. He's 21st in fantasy points during the stretch as he threw for 726 yards, five scores and five picks while rushing 26 times for 153 yards and two scores. The Seattle […]

Michael Badgley Tries To Continue Streak

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley was able to bring his streak home, and now he'll try to continue it against the Raiders on Sunday. Badgley has gone three straight weeks without missing a single kick from less than 50 yards, and he can hopefully keep headed in that positive direction. Between field goals and […]

Joey Bosa Makes Second Pro Bowl

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa will be the lone member of the Chargers Defense to make an appearance at the Pro Bowl after he was named to his second career game this week. Though the defense as a whole hasn't been terribly impressive this year, Bosa has continued to stand out from the […]

Week 16 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

We're finally here. Week 16. The week that all fantasy owners envisioned themselves playing in for a fantasy title when they were drafting their teams this Fall. If you were lucky enough to make it this far, kudos to you. It surely took plenty of savvy waiver wire pickups and an opportunistic trade or two […]

Hunter Henry Gets A Big Opportunity

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry gets one more big chance this season to show off against a weak defense. Oakland is coming to town on Sunday, and the crowd is expected to be raucous since the Raiders still own LA. Henry will have the opportunity to quiet the black and silver fans by […]

Mike Williams Zeroes In On 1,000 Yards

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has honed his craft this season and finally come into his own. Even though he's embedded in an offense that includes playmakers at every turn, Williams has found a way to stand out and become a regular on all the highlight shows. Riding a streak of seven-straight games […]

Keenan Allen Named To Third Straight Pro Bowl

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was rewarded with another trip to the Pro Bowl this week as credit for topping 1,000 receiving yards once again. The wideout has had a somewhat quiet time getting to the millennial mark this year due to only catching five touchdowns on the season, but he's still faithfully […]

Austin Ekeler Gets Another Shot Against Oakland

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler gets his final shot against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, and he should see enough opportunities to make something happen. At this point, Ekeler is basically auditioning for LA to move on from Melvin Gordon over the offseason and let him have the starting job full time, so […]

Melvin Gordon Looks For Repeat Success

Five weeks ago, Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon put up his only 100-yard rushing game of the season, and he'll look to replicate that success on Sunday. The Raiders are coming to town, and Gordon ripped them in Oakland when they last saw each other, racking up 133 scrimmage yards and one touchdown. […]

Philip Rivers Gets One More Big Chance

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers will get one more chance for a huge week when he faces off against the Raiders this week. There aren't really any excuses for him to struggle this time around. His skill players are healthy, Oakland's defense is horrifically bad against opposing quarterbacks, and it's at "home" if fans […]
