Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 16

It's Week 16. It's Championship Week. If you've made it this far, you undoubtedly know the drill. It's also less likely you're in need of a player to pick up from the bowels of the waiver wire. But just for consistency sake and to ensure no championship-bound teams are left in the lurch, I'm going […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Kenyan Drake, Mike Boone, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller, Ryan Tannehill, and Tyler Higbee were all freely available on waivers at some point this season, if not last week.

Week 15 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 15, the quarterback position fell according to plan for the most part. Lamar Jackson threw for five touchdown passes against a soft Jets pass defense finishing as the No. 1 quarterback on the week, while Jameis Winston was able to play with a broken thumb to finish as the No. 2 quarterback on […]

The Fantasy Football Guide to College Bowl Season

It's time for the best -- or, if you think 300-something games is too many, the worst -- part of the football season: Bowl games. This year, we've got 40 bowl games in total. That's a lot of games to sit through, especially if you're not a big college football fan, so let's give y'all, […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 16)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I might be a homer writing this little article, but I have believed in Gardner Minshew since the very first moment he took the field all the way back in Week 1 and he hasn’t disappointed just one bit. Sure, he’s had his bad […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Mitchell Trubisky was close to pulling another upset against Green Bay this past Sunday, he ultimately fell short and Chicago conceded another loss.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In the season of the running-quarterback (shouts Lamar Jackson!)

More important […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took time, but Dwayne Haskins seems to be finally heating up.

Drew Lock (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Either you’re uniquely great, or you’re going to struggle as a rookie passer. That is how pro football works. Ask Drew Lock, who has seen it all. The Denver Broncos now-starting quarterback had an average first game (16.2 fantasy points), a booming second one […]

Taysom Hill Catches Touchdown In Week 15 Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill caught both of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in a 34-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Drew Brees Nearly Flawless Against Colts

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 29 of 30 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Jacoby Brissett Struggles In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a good matchup in Week 15, but he was unable to convert that into fantasy production.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 16 Lightning Round

After injuries destroyed many a playoff hope in Week 14, we saw some heroes rise from the ashes to guide us through Week 15. Still, injuries to Dalvin Cook, Chris Godwin and others would keep the medical industry afloat as the season winds down. There's no shortage of waiver action heading into the traditional FF […]

Philip Rivers Has Another Terrible Outing

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers flip-flopped back to the bad setting on Sunday when he threw three interceptions and lost a fumble against the Vikings. Rivers did rack up 307 passing yards in the blowout loss, but his four turnovers were a large part of why LA got demolished. The rest of the squad […]

Russell Wilson Puts Up Stellar Performance

With one of his best performances of the year, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson helped lead Seattle to the win over Carolina on Sunday. While Wilson's 286 yards and two touchdowns weren't the type of flashy numbers that folks love to see from the QBs nowadays, his solid approach included a 77% completion rate and […]

Monday Night Fantasy Football Starts/Sits - Week 15

The Saints are coming off a hard-fought loss to the 49ers. It was an amazing game that featured no defense whatsoever. On the other hand, the Colts' best player in their loss was second-year linebacker Darius Leonard. This game should be different. Not only is the New Orleans defense going to show up, this means the […]

Devlin Hodges Struggles Against the Buffalo Defense

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges did not play well in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Hodges completed 23 of his 38 pass attempts for 202 yards and one touchdown.

Jimmy Garoppolo Underwhelms In Favorable Matchup

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo wasn't able to take advantage of a favorable home matchup against the Falcons in Week 15.

Matt Ryan Has Solid Game In Win Versus 49ers

He completed 25-of-39 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the game and didn't have a single turnover. Ryan was locked in to Julio Jones all day, peppering him with 20 targets.
