Are the Atlanta Falcons a Fantasy Juggernaut Again?

The odds of repeating an MVP-caliber season, let alone a historic one, are not very high in the NFL. That's why the expectation that the Atlanta Falcons would be just as good in 2017 as they were in 2016 was a bit off-base. You were banking on Matt Ryan having back-to-back MVP seasons. You were […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 6 Edition)

It's going to be difficult to top the showcase game from week 5 this week, but that's also probably the case for the rest of the season. Week 6 features one of the longest rivalries in all of sports between Oklahoma and Texas, but there's also lower profile matchups that should provide entertainment throughout the […]

49ers Hopeful That Jimmy Garoppolo Will Be Ready For OTAs

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he was told that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's (knee) surgery on Wednesday to fix a torn ACL went "as good as it could've," and Shanahan is hopeful that the quarterback can be available for part of the offseason program on a limited basis. Barring any setbacks, Garoppolo should […]

49ers Offensive Line Banged Up Entering Week 5

San Francisco 49ers center Weston Richburg (knee) and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) are both questionable to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals, while right guard Mike Person (knee) was limited in two practices this week. Left tackle Joe Staley (knee) is the most in question and probably the most important, as he'd be […]

Marcus Mariota Looks to Stay Sharp Against Buffalo

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota looked alive and well last week against Philadelphia. There was no sign of him elbow being an issue as he played every single snap for the first time this season and helped lead his team to an overtime victory over the defending champions. As long as Mariota's healthy, he will continue […]

Derek Carr Looking To Build On Last Week's Success

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is coming off his best game of the season and will look to continue that this Sunday versus the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Carr had over 400 yards last week, which now makes two straight games with over 300 yards, a trend which could continue, as the Chargers come in […]

Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Graham Off Injury Report

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Lions. Rodgers practiced in full the last two days, so that could be a sign that his left knee injury is getting better, not […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (knee), cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) and left tackle Joe Staley (knee) are all questionable to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/6

Can't believe it's already week six of the college football season, but here we are. The benefit of being nearly halfway through the season is that we have a much clearer picture of which teams are good, and which of those are frauds we were fooled by in the earlier weeks of the 2018 season. […]

Corey Davis, Marcus Mariota Not On Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (illness) and quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) both practiced in full on Friday and are not on the final injury report for Week 5 against the Bills. Both players were never in danger of missing this game. With Mariota's elbow getting back to full health, it has put Davis back […]

Alshon Jeffery, Jason Peters Off Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (chest) and left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Vikings. Jeffery had over 100 yards and a score in his season debut last week, but it won't be as easy for him in […]

Matt Ryan In Line For Another Big Day

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan could be in line for another big day against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The Steelers currently rank second in fantasy points surrendered against opposing quarterbacks, giving up close to 29 points per game against them. However, Ryan has an average quarterback rating eight points lower when playing outdoors than […]

Week 5 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

We're a quarter of the way through the fantasy football season, which means we're starting to get some good data to help us make decisions. Gone are the "ehh, sure, let's judge off one week of production" issues that plague the early days and here are the "okay, so that defense actually is good, I […]

Philip Rivers Should Have Big Week Against Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has been absolutely dominating so far this season, and he should continue that roll this week against the Raiders. Oakland has surrendered 7.9 yards per attempt this season, the fifth most in the league, and Rivers has a history of chewing them up as he's posted a 16-8 record […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 5): Targets and Avoids

Week 4 of the NFL returned to normalcy with the big favorites winning easily, except for the Chargers. Not so many big favorites this week, but some intriguing options nonetheless. With more than 90% of survivor pools eliminated, you may not find a need to read this column. However, there's still plenty of good tidbits […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 5)

What a Week 4 we had! We are still on pace to have the most touchdowns in a single year in NFL history (over 1400) and on pace to break the single-season scoring record by 327 points. The average NFL game is seeing teams produce a combined 725 yards of offense per game which would […]

Blake Bortles Should Be Your Starting Quarterback

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was seen as a huge bust through the first three and a half years of his career. But he seems to have turned things around over the last 10 or so regular season games. Bortles helped the Jags to their first playoff appearance since 2007 last year. Jacksonville selected the […]

Case Keenum Faces Make-Or-Break Week 5

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum has been the lowest-rated pocket passer this season and while the Broncos invested heavily in him this offseason, his seat is beginning to get a bit warm. Keenum hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 1 and has just three TDs on the season - compared to six interceptions (at […]

Tom Brady Tosses Three Touchdowns In Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady posted four total touchdowns, including his 500th career touchdown pass, in the Patriots 38-24 win over the Colts. Brady completed 34 of 44 yards for 341 yards as he threw touchdowns to three different receivers and added a 1-yard punch-in for a rushing score. Brady carved through the Colts […]

Andrew Luck Puts in Strong Performance Against Patriots

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 38 of his 59 passes for 365 passing yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 24-38 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday. Any questions about Andrew Luck's arm strength should be all but dissipated by now, as he threw several bullets en route to throwing for […]

Alex Smith Poised For Big Week 5

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith has been serviceable in fantasy lineups so far, but he has a chance for an especially lucrative Week 5 against New Orleans. The Saints are allowing 311 yards per game through the air along with 11 passing touchdowns, both of which rank third worst in the NFL. What's more, the […]

Jared Goff Has Strong Matchup Against Seattle

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for at least 354 yards and is averaging three touchdowns over the last three games, according to Yahoo. The Rams have if not the best, one of the best wide receiver trios in the league. Goff will have a matchup against a Seahawks defense that allowed an […]

Patrick Mahomes Faces Toughest Challenge Yet

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will face his toughest challenge yet in the Week 5 game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags defense has only allowed three touchdowns through the air this season, according to Yahoo. Mahomes has been unstoppable through the first four weeks. He's thrown 14 touchdowns without a single interception all […]

Adam Vinatieri, Darius Leonard, Anthony Castonzo Active

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin), rookie linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) are all active on Thursday night against the Patriots. Vinatieri might struggle for kicking opportunities if a banged-up Colts team is playing from behind all night, which makes him a weak fantasy play. Leonard and safety Clayton Geathers […]

Josh Allen Faces Tough Test Sunday

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen draws a tough matchup Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans rank in the top half of the league when it comes to passing defense, but that might not even matter if Allen doesn’t have time to throw the ball. Allen has been sacked 18 times in his first four […]

Tyrod Taylor Not Looking For Trade

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor won't rule out the idea of asking for a trade to a quarterback-needy team, but he's not actively seeking a trade. Taylor is in the final year of his contract and can be a free agent in 2019. “Right now, I’m focusing on getting healthy and continue to keep […]

Aaron Rodgers Faces Struggling Lions Defense In Week 5

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers squares up against one of the worst defenses in football in Detroit Sunday afternoon. This week, the Lions could be without secondary starters Quandre Diggs (broken hand) and Nevin Lawson (undisclosed--not practicing Thursday), from what is an already leaky group to begin with, allowing almost eight yards per pass […]

Josh Rosen Set Up For Breakout In Week 5

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen has a very good matchup against the San Francisco 49ers this weekend. The rookie quarterback played well last week despite the team's loss to the Seahawks and will hope to continue to produce as the team looks for its first win. Consider Rosen a low-end QB2 with a good matchup […]
