Joe Burrow Throws Three Touchdowns On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had a terrific showing against the Browns in his Thursday night debut. The rookie threw for three touchdown tosses and 316 yards on 37-for-61 passing. He also had seven rushing attempts for 19 yards. While the first-year signal-caller had issues with ball security by fumbling twice, the Bengals' coaching staff […]

Week 1 Mirages Bound to Disappear

It’s easy to overreact to big performances in Week 1. We see a new set of breakout performers each fantasy season and all fantasy owners suffer from some extreme FOMO at the onset of the season, knowing that if they don’t act soon, they may miss out on one of those breakouts. Below are eight […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Decline From Week 1

This series carries over from the preseason, where I evaluated offensive play-caller tendencies by division 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 regular season as well. After […]

Baker Mayfield Throws Two TDs In Week 2

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 16 of 23 passes for 218 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Mayfield was effective in the win, finding Odell Beckham Jr. for a 43-yard score in the second quarter and a wide-open Kareem Hunt for a six-yard […]

Gardner Minshew II Faces Tough Week 2 Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II had a stellar Week 1, completing 95 percent of his passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns. But a repeat performance seems unlikely in Week 2 as he faces a Tennessee Titans team whose defense should be up to the task to slow down the Minshew Mania. In Week […]

Deshaun Watson May Struggle Against Ravens

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson faces a tough Week 2 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Watson -- who had one of his worst games of 2019 against this team, when he had just 169 passing yards -- is still a must-start option in season-long formats because of his tremendous upside, but he has a pretty […]

Tyrod Taylor Has A Tough Week 2 Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor is set up for a tough battle in Week 2 against the Chiefs, who contained quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Texans in Week 1. Taylor wasn’t bad, but he also wasn’t great in Week 1. The dual-threat quarterback rushed six times for only seven yards and threw for 208 yards in […]

Tom Brady Should Bounce Back Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady gets a good matchup in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. The results weren't pretty in his first appearance as a Buc, as the 43-year-old tossed two interceptions and struggled with accuracy throughout the contest. Fortunately, the Panthers are an easier defense to dissect than the Saints' unit and […]

Mike Pouncey Out For The Year

The Los Angeles Chargers placed starting center Mike Pouncey (hip) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he will miss the rest of the season because he'll need hip surgery. The Pro Bowl center injured himself prior to the season opener against the Bengals. The 31-year-old played in just five games for the Chargers last season […]

Patrick Mahomes Looks To Continue Success Against Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is in for a tasty treat in a matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Mahomes is coming off of a three touchdown performance on Thursday versus the Texans and will look to keep the momentum going. Arguably the best fantasy quarterback, Mahomes faces a Chargers team that […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 2

Finally, Week 1 of football is in the books. Going into the two Monday night games, 686 points were scored. In comparison, week one of the 2019 season had 678 points scored going into the Monday night games. Clearly, contrary to many predictions, the NFL teams didn’t seem to miss a beat with no preseason. […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell: Week 2

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

The Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

By this time, you’ve made your waiver wire claims for week 2. Hopefully, you got your guy. But, if you’re still deciding on players to keep and get rid of for next week and moving forward, then you’ve come to the right place. The obvious cuts are players that are lost for the year due […]

Tape Tells All: Cam Newton's Week 1 Performance

Welcome back to the third year of my Tape Tells All column, which is now fresh off a spot as a finalist for the FSWA Football Series of the Year award. Can we get that top spot this time around? The push for the honors begins now! If you haven't read this column before, here's […]

Derek Carr Has Tough Matchup In Week 2

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will have a difficult matchup in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints Defense was able to grab two interceptions and sack quarterback Tom Brady three times in Week 1. Carr had an efficient performance against the Carolina Panthers but did not rack up a lot of […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Projects To Have A Solid Week 2

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo performed decently in Week 1, throwing for 259 yards and two touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals. This week, he goes up against a New York Jets Defense that was just torched by Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Garoppolo's top pass-catcher, George Kittle (knee), is currently questionable for Week […]

Baker Mayfield Hard To Trust In Week 2

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in a disappointing performance in a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, throwing for just 189 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He will look to put that behind him when he takes on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2's Thursday night matchup. While Mayfield wasn't […]

Kyler Murray Set For Big Week 2 Performance

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had a fantastic Week 1 in his team's win over the San Francisco 49ers, throwing for 230 passing yards while adding a team-high 91 rushing yards. He had both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the game. Expect for him to improve upon those numbers in Week 2 […]

This game has a 44.0 over/under with the Seahawks being favored by 4 points. In this article, I will be providing you with daily fantasy football picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for […]

Warning Signals From Week 1

The NFL season is finally underway and even with just a one-week sample size, there are still some indicators dictating that some of these players could experience a down year in production. Even though we shouldn’t overreact to the first week of the season, the writing is still on the wall for a lot of […]

Russell Wilson Has To Be Started In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was nearly perfect in Week 1. In Week 2, his matchup is much more difficult against the New England Patriots, but you have to keep him in your lineups. For his career in two matchups against New England, Wilson has averaged just under 30 fantasy points per game. Wilson's receiving […]

Jared Goff Is A Sneaky Play In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff saw some touchdowns vultured from him in Week 1. If he had gotten them, his week would have looked a lot better. In Week 2, his matchup looks a bit better. The Philadelphia Eagles are built to stop the run, but they have a number of holes in their […]

Cam Newton Will Have Tougher Matchup In Week 2

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton had a promising first start with his new team in Week 1. He completed 15 of 19 passes for 155 yards and rushed 15 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns. However, it was against the Miami Dolphins below average defense, so it's not time to get carried away […]

Joe Burrow Looking For First Touchdown Pass In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will be searching for his first touchdown throw in Week 2 against the Browns on Thursday night. The rookie had a respectable debut last Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers by compiling 193 yards on 23-for-36 passing. He also racked up 46 yards off of eight carries on the ground, […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

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. […]

Week 1 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 1, the quarterback position was rather stable as Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray finished inside the top-five. Through Sunday's games, Gardner Minshew II finished as QB12 which surprised most, while Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes underwhelmed just a little, finishing as QB2's. Tight end was a little […]

How NOT to Overreact to NFL Week 1

First thing’s first: take a deep breath. If you had a great Week 1, congratulations. If your team underpeformed, you’re not alone. Now is not the time to panic, and you have to be patient because your studs are studs for a reason. This is a one-game sample, so you need to maintain your patience […]

Know When to Hold 'Em... Players Who Shouldn't Be on Waivers

Many fantasy players overreact to results from the first week of games, and at varying levels. Some experienced competitors know how to remain patient after such a small sample size. Others are too quick to throw underperforming players onto the free-agent list and then regret such moves later on. You may be thinking of cutting […]
