Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 8
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football For Week 8
There is an epidemic sweeping the NFL in 2017, the lack of offensive precision in the majority of the league. Sunday had the highest amount of teams who failed to score a touchdown since December of 2001 with seven. Seven teams couldn’t score one touchdown in a 60-minute NFL game. This is just sad. Rules […]
NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 8): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids
What a boring Sunday that was. The matchups were bad and the games even worse. I love good defensive battles, but on Sunday that wasn't even the case. The Titans and Browns combined scored 21 points on seven field goals. Three teams were blanked. Seven teams could not muster a single offensive touchdown. Once again London […]

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 8)
John Madden would be proud of how Oakland showed up to play last week...

For those wondering if […]
The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 8)
As the season wears on, this list will feature more name brand players that you may have trouble letting go. Peyton Manning owners remember all too well how a big name can derail an entire season if you refuse to accept that he simply no longer has value. The names on this list no longer […]
Week 8 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet
In today’s installment, I want to give you a peek behind the curtain as to my motivation for writing this article each week, but I’ll start with a mea culpa on the Green Bay Packers passing game. My gut call on the Packers pass-catchers was that they were more likely to surprise in a positive […]
Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
Week 7 was a rather ugly slate overall, though folks who didn’t bail on Ezekiel Elliott were handsomely rewarded (as were all Dallas-player stocks) and many might feel that “no news is good news” after we’ve seen several top players go down these past few weeks. That said, Carson Palmer will miss at least eight […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 8)
If you read this list last week and thought Justin, how dare you suggest I pick Josh McCown up. I will never read you again, then...well, in that scenario you likely aren't actually reading this. But McCown was fifth among QBs in scoring for the week going into Monday night and he gets Atlanta in Week […]

Don’t Call It a Comeback - Second Half Rebound Candidates
Regardless of expert consensus, every year there are a slew of top ranked players that underperform. The question half way through the year is, who’s going to rebound, and who’s going to fall flat? Paint me optimistic today, but there’s a lot of the season left, and opportunities abound. I expect many of the following […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks
C.J. Anderson was a big, huge, fat bust last week and I totally missed on that. There, I feel better now. No, not really. While we're all trying to predict the future here and wrong quite a bit, it never feels good to be totally wrong when you're putting it out there for thousands to […]

Amari Cooper was a huge boom on Thursday night. Marshawn Lynch was a huge bust. The booms and busts are not letting up, especially the under-the-radar ones.

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 7): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids
The stunners continued this past Sunday. None bigger than the Giants dominating the Broncos in Denver. I could not have been more wrong about it, and neither could the public. The line opened at about 9.5/10 in favor of Denver and closed at 13.5. Nobody believed in the Giants, but they finally came out and […]
