Kyler Murray Has Alarming Matchup

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray hasn't done much the last couple of weeks, and the road ahead of him doesn't get any easier. The San Francisco 49ers are the best team against the position over the last five weeks. The Niners have allowed a miniscule 103.3 passing yards per game during that stretch. They haven't […]

Patrick Mahomes A Limited Participant

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Mahomes has made good progress from a dislocated kneecap, but he was inactive last week and isn't a lock to return in Week 9 against the Vikings. Week 10 is the more realistic target date for the superstar quarterback, but […]

Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Limited

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (shoulder), wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest, shoulder) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be fine for Week 9 against the Ravens on Sunday night, so there's not much to see here. New England faces their most difficult test […]

Cam Newton, Curtis Samuel Not Practicing

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) are not practicing on Wednesday. Newton continues to rehab and won't make his return in Week 9 against the Titans. He could be back for Week 10 against the Packers, however, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be if he's […]

Mitch Trubisky's Season On The Line In Week 9

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky's season, and perhaps career, will be on the line this Sunday against the Eagles in Week 9. The Bears are 3-4 and cannot afford to lose many more games if they have plans on keeping up in the NFC playoff race. Furthermore, Trubisky's season has gone so poorly that his […]

Daniel Jones Not Streamable On Sunday

New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones is off the streaming radar in single-quarterback leagues when he takes on the Cowboys on Monday. The rookie beat up on a depleted Lions secondary last week, but he'll find the sledding much tougher this week. The Cowboys come into the game giving up the fifth-fewest fantasy points […]

Offensive Line Rankings Analysis: Week 9

Week 8 is the mid-point of the fantasy season, where owners are either turning one eye to the playoffs or looking over their shoulder as they hope to avoid finishing last in their league. More importantly to our article today, we now have strong evidence of the ability of the offensive lines and the impact […]

Sam Darnold Practicing In Full

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (thumb) will practice in full on Wednesday with a splint on his left thumb. Darnold was injured in Week 8 but will play this Sunday in a great matchup with the winless Dolphins. The injury is to his non-throwing hand, so it shouldn't have a big effect on his […]

Dak Prescott a Top Option for Week 9

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top-five options at the position in Week 9. The Cowboys will hit the road for a Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants and their very generous defense. Prescott is being ranked somewhere from QB3-6 for this one, and should have a strong floor […]

Carson Wentz Slips Out of the QB1 Ranks for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has fallen out of the fantasy QB1 ranks for Week 9. The Eagles will host the Chicago Bears and their fearsome pass defense. With the Eagles really getting the running game going in Week 8, Wentz only completed 17 passes for 172 yards. A similar performance might be in store […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Devin Singletary, Robert Woods, Odell Beckham

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. […]

The Tape Tells All - Ryan Tannehill Fantasy Analysis

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. This week, I'm looking at Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who took over for Marcus Mariota and has quickly breathed some life into the […]

The Forthcoming Resurrection of Cam Newton

After Kyle Allen’s 4-0 start as the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, many fans and analysts were clamoring for his permanent placement atop the depth chart. They believed Cam Newton was essentially finished and less efficient than Allen when he was actually on the field. Then Allen imploded against a tough San Francisco defense […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Fine Outside The Limelight

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is fine with his role amidst the Niners undefeated start. Entering Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, the passing attack has become a tertiary thought to the team’s dominant defense and run game. Garoppolo hasn’t helped himself, committing nine turnovers in seven contests. Jimmy G should continue playing game […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 9 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

As we enter the second half of the fantasy regular season, all eyes will be on the news wire as the trade deadline approaches. We already recommended some players to add/stash/acquire ahead of October 29, so hopefully you were able to take action this past week. If not, don't worry - there are still plenty of […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 9

Whether your fantasy team is sitting pretty at 7-1 or is still clawing toward contention at 3-5, you shouldn't neglect the waiver wire. Especially in deeper leagues where you need any edge you can get at the flex position. With bye weeks in full effect and the free agent scraps getting fewer and fewer, let […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers

Week 8 didn't offer too many surprises for the most part. There were, however, a few players that registered multiple-touchdown performances which elevated them up the ranks, such as Aaron Jones (2 TD), Tevin Coleman (4 TD), Latavius Murray (2 TD) and Mike Evans (2 TD). For the most part, the players that scored multiple […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 9)

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 […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 9

We have no new major quarterback injuries as of writing this, but the injuries from past weeks have really thinned out the waiver wire for those of us who stream quarterbacks. Not to worry though, as there are still plenty of good options out there if you're in need. We've got four teams on bye […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

With eight weeks gone, that means over 60% of the regular fantasy season is over. Are you still with us? 8-0 teams are looking ahead to playoff matchups while 2-6 teams are looking for the 7-6 Wild Card spot. The upcoming bye week means no Bengals, Falcons, Rams or Saints -- so many of you […]

Andy Dalton's Tenure Ends

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was benched in favor of rookie QB Ryan Finley Tuesday. The Bengals are on a bye this week, and Finley will have two weeks to prepare for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. Finley is tall and lanky, but he hasn't displayed a big arm. He's also a 24-year-old rookie. […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/31/19

Boo! It was either me or this awful slate of games that was going to scare you, so it might as well be me. Happy Halloween to all CFB DFS fans and welcome to another lovely week of college football. We open things up this week with a Halloween night showdown between Baylor and West […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Helps Keep Miami Winless

After leading 14-0 early in a Monday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick righted the ship for the remaining three quarters, throwing two interceptions and fumbling twice. The veteran signal caller's sub-par play propelled the Dolphins to their seventh-straight loss and kept them in the catbird seat for the first […]

Mason Rudolph Recovers After Rough Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph finished 20 of 36 for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Monday’s win over the Dolphins. In his first game back from suffering a concussion, Rudolph threw a pick on the second play of the game. However, he worked his way back to have a solid game against […]

Joe Flacco Set To Miss Week 9 With Herniated Disk

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) will not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 9, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Backup quarterback Brandon Allen will make his first career start in the contest. The Broncos possess one of the worst passing attacks in football, and that will only become more evident with Allen […]

Philip Rivers Struggles Against Chicago In Narrow Victory

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers struggled to have an impact on the team's narrow victory over the Chicago Bears. Rivers ended the game having completed 19 of his 29 attempts for 201 yards and a touchdown, along with one interception. Rivers should have had a better fantasy performance, but receivers Mike Williams and Keenan […]

Russell Wilson Throws Two Touchdowns In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw two touchdowns but only passed for 182 yards in his team's Week 8 win. There wasn't a whole lot for Wilson to do in this one after the first half, as the Seahawks jumped out to a 24-0 lead at the break. The run-heavy game script in the second […]

Aaron Rodgers Leads Packers To Victory Over Kansas City

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Rodgers finished the game completing 23 of his 33 pass attempts for 305 yards and three touchdowns, while also adding 29 yards from six carries on the ground. The Packers were without Davante Adams (toe) once again and […]

Week 8 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

Unfortunately, it is back to another terrible Monday night game. Not only do we need to deal with Booger McFarland and his commentary, but we need to do so while watching the Dolphins. Coming off a bye week, the Steelers should come out refreshed at home. James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster should be ready to […]
