Warning Signs: Stefon Diggs, Le'Veon Bell, Baker Mayfield

Another week, another surprising loss. At least this one did not take place on American soil. The Raiders took down the Bears in London, proving no one really knows what is going to happen any given week in the NFL. It also looks like there really is no dominant team in the NFC. This works for […]

Case Keenum Expected To Start In Week 6

The Washington Redskins are expected to start quarterback Case Keenum in Week 6 against the Dolphins, assuming he's healthy, according to sources. Colt McCoy started in Week 5 and was predictably bad against the Patriots. Keenum wasn't terrible to begin the year other than turning the ball over left and right. It's hard to trust […]

Dak Prescott Looks For a More Even Week 6

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will look for a more even performance in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Prescott threw for a career-high 463 yards, but was picked off three times and threw just two touchdowns. The Packers Defense was giving him fits and forcing him to throw before he was ready much […]

Josh Rosen The Starter The Rest Of The Way

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that the team's quarterback situation is "settled" and that Josh Rosen will be the guy the rest of the season. Rosen hasn't been great in his two starts the last two games, but he's been slightly better than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Against the similarly terrible Redskins in Week 6, […]

Daniel Jones In Rough Spot Versus Patriots

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will be in a rough spot when the Giants travel to take on the Patriots on Thursday night. Likely without his top two receiving options, tight end Evan Engram (knee) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion), Jones will be throwing to a depleted receiving corps and possibly handing off to his […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 6

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. […]

Carson Wentz Faces a Tough Minnesota Team in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will face off against a tough Minnesota Vikings Defense in Week 6. Wentz underwhelmed in Week 5 mostly because the running game was working so well that he wasn't needed. Still, his fantasy owners ended up with just one touchdown and 189 yards on just 17 completed passes. Wentz will […]

Baker Mayfield Dealing With Minor Injuries

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (leg, shoulder) had his leg and shoulder wrapped following the Monday night loss to the 49ers, but head coach Freddie Kitchens doesn't expect the injuries to linger. “I am sure he was bumped and bruised,” Kitchens said of Mayfield, who was sacked four times. “He got hit more than I […]

Sam Darnold Cleared, Will Return Sunday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (mono) has officially been medically cleared to return to the field and will start in Week 6 when the Jets take on the Cowboys. This is amazing news for the Jets, seeing as the team looked downright atrocious without their second-year quarterback under center. Darnold may not be a […]

Tom Brady Has Fantastic Matchup For TNF

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a dynamite matchup against a leaky Giants secondary this Thursday. Brady has passed for 10 touchdowns and 1,409 yards this season but, at times, has struggled to move the football at an elite level. But the Patriots Defense has been so fantastic that the Patriots offense simply […]

Gardner Minshew (QB, JAC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We've now reached the point of the season where the sample size on Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew is big enough to justify him being a roster option in single quarterback fantasy leagues. Minshew had his best game as a passer […]

Act Now! What to Do With a Winning or Losing Record

We're still just five weeks into the season so don’t panic!  Ok, maybe you should panic if you’re 0-5 or 1-4, but it’s time to channel that energy into action. There are strategies that are relevant to teams in this situation that you should have already been enacting. The same holds true for the lucky […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 5 Outliers

In Week 5, there were several players that exploded in fantasy lineups, scoring multiple touchdowns. Wide receivers Will Fuller, Michael Thomas, D.J. Chark, Adam Thielen, Chris Godwin and Allen Robinson all had multiple receiving touchdowns and should have been in fantasy lineups in leagues of all sizes. Although these studs had huge performances, Week 5 […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 6 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 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

If you thought the waiver wire was getting barer every passing week, you would be correct. These days, a half-decent running back can't gain more than two yards without getting snatched up by desperate fantasy owners. The wide receiver position is more promising, however. While there aren't many surprises at QB or TE, the first […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 6)

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 6

It was a monster week for Quarterbacks, as six QBs topped 30 points and 14 topped 19 points (in six-point passing TD leagues) heading into Sunday Night Football. Some of the high-scorers were the usual suspects, such as Deshaun Watson, Matt Ryan, and Tom Brady, but we also saw huge weeks from the backups, as […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

The scoreboards are lighting up all over the league. While star players did most of the damage this past week, there are always some unexpected names that emerge as well. Before we wrap up with Sunday night action, here is our instant analysis on free agents to add with the waiver wire lightning round for […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/9/19 (Showdown)

We only have one game on Wednesday night, and it’s a showdown between Appalachian State and Louisiana-Lafayette. We’re looking at a 66 over/under with ULL being a 1.5 point favorite. Both of these teams like to keep it on the ground, but score a ton of points. Let’s dive into this game and figure out […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Cruises To Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 20 of 29 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5’s blowout victory against the Cleveland Browns. The Niners offense again leaned on its elite rushing attack, accumulating 275 yards on the ground but Garoppolo contributed with a 5-yard touchdown dart to running back Matt Breida […]

Baker Mayfield Struggles Mightily in Week 5 Loss

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had a rough evening in a 31-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. Mayfield completed just eight of his 22 pass attempts for 100 yards while throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble. Mayfield had very little time to throw in the game, with a fearsome San […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just when it felt like Marcus Mariota had put everything together, Buffalo came and ate him alive. Mariota's 21.5 PPR fantasy points per game ranked 12th, sandwiched between old-foe Jameis Winston and GOAT Tom Brady. You know what Mariota did against the […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, NO) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I must admit I am surprised by Teddy Bridgewater. I thought Bridgewater would play the role of the average backup and rely on his tailback and just throw short, safe passes. Indeed, that was the case in Weeks 2 and 3. Alvin […]

Josh Rosen (QB, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A thing that I'm always hesitant to admit is that I'm still a Josh Rosen believer. His NFL career's gotten off to a rough start, but I still think there's something there. The Dolphins made the right call replacing Ryan Fitzpatrick with Rosen […]

Marcus Mariota Held In Check By Buffalo

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota had a miserable performance against Buffalo in Week 5. With the Bills Defense recording five sacks on the day, the 25-year-old wasn't able to get anything going, finishing with 183 yards on 13-for-22 passing. Though Mariota nearly threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to A.J. Brown early in the fourth quarter, […]

Philip Rivers Throws Two INTs Against Denver

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has really struggled against the Broncos over the last two seasons. For the third straight game against Denver, Rivers threw a pair of interceptions. The Chargers lost, and poor play by Rivers played a pretty big role in that. Rivers averaged just 4.4 yards per attempt in the game, […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Over 300 Yards in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was able to create yards through the air, but it wasn't enough to get them the victory over the Colts in Week 5. Mahomes completed 22 of 39 passing attempts for 321 yards and a touchdown in the 19-13 loss on Sunday. This wasn't a bad game for Mahomes, […]

Jacoby Brissett Is Quiet In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett was expected to have a huge stat line if the team was going to compete against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. He finished the night 18-of-29 for 151 yards and one interception. He was able to give himself some fantasy relevance by getting into the end zone for […]

Kyler Murray Racks Up Yardage

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was 20-for-32 for 253 yards and rushed 10 times for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Murray, who was sacked a league-high 20 times in the first four games, was only sacked once in the game. There was a little left to […]

Joe Flacco Was Quiet In First Win As A Bronco

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco got his first win at the helm for the Denver Broncos but failed to fill the stat-sheet while doing so. The veteran signal-caller only attempted 20 passes on the afternoon, connecting on 14 of them for 182 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Flacco's stats suffered from the flow […]
