DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 9): NFL DFS Lineups

Week 9 was always going to be a tough week to find value. We have six teams on a bye and a Sunday Night Football matchup between Green Bay and New England. However, fortunately for our DFS slates the Rams and the Saints matchup is on the afternoon slate rather than in prime time. We […]

Deshaun Watson Could Face Trouble In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson will be without wide receiver Keke Coutee in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos and will have to figure out how to get the ball to the newly acquired Demaryius Thomas if he wants to have a strong outing. The Broncos have allowed single digit fantasy points to the quarterback […]

Cardinals Release Sam Bradford

The Arizona Cardinals released quarterback Sam Bradford on Saturday. Bradford played in just three games for Arizona this year before being benched for rookie Josh Rosen, going 50-for-80 for 400 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. The veteran QB is also an injury risk and may have trouble latching on as a backup with another […]

Derek Anderson, Tremaine Edmunds Ruled Out

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) and rookie linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (concussion) have both officially been ruled out for Week 9 against the Bears. Anderson didn't practice all week and was never expected to play after suffering a concussion late in the Monday night loss. Nathan Peterman, who loves to throw pick-sixes, will get the […]

Russell Wilson Will Need To Stay Efficient Against LAC

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been a master of efficiency so far this season, bringing back memories of his Super Bowl-winning year. Wilson hasn't thrown more than 23 passes in any of his last three games, but he's chucked nine touchdowns in that time. On the season, he's got a TD percentage of 8.8%, […]

Week 9 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

It is a really tough week with six teams on a bye. Fantasy rosters will be stretched and owners will be desperately looking for options who can give them solid production. It may not be the most amazing upside in the world but when every team is hurting a solid six or seven points from […]

Browns Tailoring Offense To Baker Mayfield's Strengths

New Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens is expected to implement more components of rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield's spread offense in college, according to interim head coach Gregg Williams. Allowing Mayfield to run more plays that made him successful in college is a start, but it might still be difficult with too much inexperience and […]

Greetings, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings on the projector and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). My hope is to help you understand why I’m significantly higher or lower on players than the expert crowd. Do note that the ECR will shift! Who am I and why should […]

Week 9 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Last week I joked in this space about how the NFL doesn't make deadline deals, a statement that ended up being very wrong. All kinds of things ended up happening on Tuesday. Do any of those things have a major bearing on this week of action? Any new names hurtling towards a bust, or just […]

Trent Williams Expected To Miss A Month

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams (thumb) is expected to miss "about a month" after having surgery on his thumb, according to a source. Williams dislocated his thumb in Week 8 and will now be sidelined for a while. Ty Nsekhe will take over at left tackle for however long Williams is out. It's certainly […]

Nick Mullens Likely To Start In Week 10

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens will most likely start in Week 10 on Monday night against the Giants, but it's not yet official. “The players have four days off,” head coach Kyle Shanahan explained Friday. “I don’t need to decide right now in front of you guys. I would like to do it in […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Capsule Injury

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) is dealing with a capsule injury in his right shoulder. He has been doing some throwing but remains out in Week 9 and could miss another couple of games. There remains no timetable for Tannehill's return, but the Dolphins believe he will play again this season. Tannehill was a […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 11/3

Welcome to week 10! DraftKings really decided to shake things up this week, changing the Main slate from 10 games to - wait for it - 11! While I have been negative about their game selection in recent weeks, I have to give them credit where it's due - this weeks' games are much more […]

Inside the Tent - Week 9 NFL Injury Insight

Week 8 really didn't have a great number of significant injuries which is always great news! The most noteworthy injury was obviously the crazy-talented Will Fuller who tore his ACL on Thursday Night Football. Make sure to read about Fuller's injury as well as updates on a bunch of fantasy relevant players below in this […]

2nd Half Risers and Fallers - Mid-Season Report

Since most fantasy football leagues hold their championship in Week 16, we can declare that we are officially halfway through the season. As always, there have been some major surprises, both positive and negative. We recently polled our football writing staff to get their opinions on who have been the most notable breakouts and busts, […]

Trading for the Playoff Run

At this stage of the fantasy season, the playoff picture in your league is likely to be taking shape. Making the right move at the right time is key for your success, and that means looking at what players you should aim for before your league's trade deadline falls. Acquiring a player who has a […]

Quarterbacks to Own for the Playoff Stretch

Before the season started, I gave readers a list of quarterbacks who could be drafted based on their fantasy playoff matchups. These picks were obviously based on the stats of the defenses from 2017, as games had not yet been played. Now that the season is half over, I decided it was time to go […]

Brock Osweiler An Option For Week 9

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler is an option in deeper leagues if a bye week or injury has taken away a QB1. Osweiler has had three solid starts this season and one fairly poor start. This weeks matchup against the New York Jets is certainly an opportunity for another quality game. The Dolphins in general […]

Derek Anderson And Nathan Peterman Draw Tough Matchup

Buffalo Bills quarterbacks Derek Anderson and Nathan Peterman look to be in for a rough day Sunday against the Chicago Bears. As of now, it is unclear who will get the start. It would appear Derek Anderson has little chance, since he’s still in concussion protocol, but the Bills remain hopeful that he can play. […]

Philip Rivers Facing Tough Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has his work cut out for him this week. Coming off the bye, Rivers is matched up against the stingiest defense in the league versus opposing quarterbacks. Seattle's Legion of Boom may be gone, but head coach Pete Carroll has reloaded his defense with stellar players at every level. […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Set for Shootout Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is in for a tough battle against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Carolina offense has been rolling since Norv Turner took over and it will be an uphill battle for Tampa to win. This is good news for anyone who has to start Fitzpatrick this weekend given that he is […]

Marcus Mariota Remains A QB2 Option In Week 9

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has been more or less useless as a fantasy asset in 2018 with only four total touchdowns through seven games. Mariota and the Titans offense will look to come out of their bye week with a much more effective offense, but fantasy owners should adopt more of a wait-and-see approach. […]

Ravens Without Starting Tackles Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and right tackle James Hurst (back) have both been ruled out for Week 9 against the Steelers. Jermaine Eluemunor will likely start at left tackle on Sunday, while rookie Orlando Brown will likely play on the right side. Those are notable losses for the Ravens offensive line in […]

Matt Ryan A Borderline Start In Week 9

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan could be in for a mixed week against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. The Redskins defense sits pretty much in the middle of the league against the pass so far this season, and they have surrendered an average of 18.78 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. However, Ryan has struggled […]

Derek Anderson Questionable Against Bears

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) missed practice all week but is questionable for Week 9 against the Bears. It's a surprise he wasn't flat out ruled out, but perhaps he'll clear the concussion protocol on Saturday. Either way, he's unlikely to play, leaving Nathan Peterman in line for the start. Peterman is a turnover […]

Chris Thompson, Trent Williams Ruled Out

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that running back Chris Thompson (ribs) and left tackle Trent Williams (thumb, shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Falcons. Williams had surgery to fix his dislocated thumb. Thompson continues to struggle with injuries, and he's been a low-end RB3/flex in PPR leagues when he […]

Joe Flacco Is Looking To Bounce Back Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will look to bounce back from a disastrous Week 8 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Flacco is coming off his worst game of the season against the Saints, completing 56.4 percent of his passes for a season-low 192 yards and two interceptions. To make matters worse, he averaged […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Week 10 Edition)

Week 9 was a fun one. A few of the top 10 teams established their dominance and make a case for the college football playoff while two top ten teams were somewhat exposed and now appear to be on the outside looking in. This week should be another fun one with a handful of meaningful […]
