Jordan Howard Has Avoidable Matchup

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard has been fairly awful on the ground this season. He has a total of 14 rushing yards through the first four games of the season. However, he does have three touchdowns, but it's not enough to carry value in most fantasy formats. Howard will have a difficult matchup against […]

Myles Gaskin Has Low-End Flex Value

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has become the clear-cut lead back for the team. Last week, he rushed 10 times for 40 yards and caught three passes for 22 yards through the air in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He'll get a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5, a […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 5

It seems that injuries are an ongoing trend this season so we need to adjust accordingly. Although Week 4 was not as devastating as the previous week, more big-name fantasy players have gone down, most notably Nick Chubb and Austin Ekeler. However, we need to find ways to adapt to the new fantasy landscape. Week […]

Justin Jackson Should See Fair Share Of Action In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson should be expected to see a good amount of action against the New Orleans Saints with Austin Ekeler (hamstring) sidelined. Rookie running back Joshua Kelley has been the primary backup for Ekeler and is likely to get the start in Week 5. Jackson has had a slow start […]

Joshua Kelley Should See Expanded Role In Week 5

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley is lined up to see an increase in his workload with Austin Ekeler (hamstring) sidelined in a Week 5 battle against the New Orleans Saints. Kelley started the year strong and split the ball pretty evenly with Ekeler in Week 1 and Week 2, but has seen […]

Resetting the Rules - How Fantasy Leagues Can Cope with COVID

Out, out, out, in, in, in, in, in, in, out, in, out, in, in, out, in, out, out, out, in, in. That’s not me working as a bouncer for the pretend nightclub I started in my house (it’s me and my wife and my two dogs, no Darren Waller fundraiser situation here,) it’s me seeing […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals From Week 4

We are now four weeks into the season. We’ve gained a lot of knowledge about some of these players from a fantasy football perspective. As the sample size of information increases the easier it is to evaluate players. The warning signals get brighter by the week. Some of these players are dead weight in fantasy […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 5

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 NFL season is back, and we cannot waste our opportunity to make some cash. We’ve seen crazy upsets so far, and we’ve seen a lot of money won. Tonight, we have another shot with the Chicago Bears hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On MKF, there are no massive tournaments where you have to get […]

Thursday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings

Week 5 of the NFL season is just beginning as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Chicago Bears! The Buccaneers and Bears game currently has a 44.5 over/under with the Bucs being favored by 3.5 points. In this article, I will be providing you with daily fantasy football picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for Thursday […]

Chris Carson Is A Safe Play In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson continues to be one of the best fantasy running backs in football to start the 2020 season. He's currently the RB5 on the season and he should continue his RB1 campaign in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota currently ranks 21st against running backs in terms of fantasy […]

Cam Akers Should Be Faded In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (ribs) is expected to return to play in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team, but we would be avoiding him for fantasy purposes this week. The Rams could easily look to let him rehab from that injury by easing him into backfield duties. He should still see […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. More Of A Low-End RB2 Against Washington

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson is coming off of a bad week of play in Week 4 after two great weeks, and it's hard to trust him in Week 5. He has yet to play more than 49 percent of the snaps in each of the team's first four games, and it's unlikely […]

Mike Davis A Low-End RB1 In Week 5

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is a low-end RB1 for Week 5. Davis has filled in well for injured back Christian McCaffrey as he has accumulated value in the rushing and passing game. Last week, the back had 16 carries for 84 yards and five receptions for 27 yards on six targets. In the […]

Ezekiel Elliott Trying To Correct Fumbling Issues

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has fumbled the ball three times through four games, losing two of them that were returned for touchdowns. "So I just got to get rid of that issue. That can't continue to be something that I do for the rest of the season. I can't give up the ball […]

Tony Pollard Remains A Bench Stash In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard remains a bench stash ahead of a Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants. Pollard could be a league-winner if starter Ezekiel Elliott were to miss time, but unless that happens, Pollard has very little value on his own. Pollard was in on a season-high 27% of offensive […]

Ezekiel Elliott Set For Another Productive Game In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is set up for another productive fantasy performance in a Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants. Elliott ran the ball 12 times last week, gaining 54 yards, but added eight catches for 71 yards as well. It was a rather pedestrian performance for him, but his involvement […]

Ronald Jones II An RB2 For Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is a solid RB2 against the Bears on Thursday. Both Leonard Fournette and LeSean McCoy are dealing with ankle injuries and neither will likely play on Thursday, meaning Jones will be the workhorse back. The RB posted his best total of the season last week with 20 […]

Raheem Mostert Returning To Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is expected to return to a limited practice on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a sprained knee in Week 2, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. However, Mostert's status for Week 5 against the Dolphins remains unclear. On Monday, Shanahan wasn't so optimistic about Mostert […]

Zack Moss Could Return In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss (toe) was limited during Wednesday's practice. He has been unable to play each of the last two weeks due to a toe issue. Devin Singletary has capitalized on the extra playing time. Moss was seeing nearly 10 touches a game before he got injured. He'll get a fairly favorable […]

Devin Singletary On RB2 Radar

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has seen his touches increase each week this season. However, some of that is because Zack Moss (toe) has been banged up. Last season, Singletary was able to produce 55 rushing yards on 18 attempts with one touchdown in the victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. He should be […]

Leonard Fournette Doubtful To Play Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) missed practice all week and is doubtful to play on Thursday night against the Bears. Make sure Fournette is taking out of your starting lineups for Week 5. It will be the 25-year-old's second straight missed game, leaving the backfield open for Ronald Jones II and Ke'Shawn […]

Chris Godwin, LeSean McCoy Ruled Out For Thursday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (shoulder) and running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) have been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Bears. Godwin didn't play in the Week 4 win over the Chargers and wasn't ready to go on a short week. The Bears have allowed the […]

Boston Scott Not A Week 5 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a fantasy option in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Scott only touched the ball twice on offense in the win against the San Francisco 49ers, and likely won't be that much more involved in Week 5 either. Scott is playing far behind starter Miles […]

Miles Sanders Has A Tough Week 5 Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has a tough matchup in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sanders firstly has to deal with a struggling Eagles offense all around him, but then he's also staring at a very strong running defense going against him. Sanders is usually involved in the passing game, so […]

James Conner A Solid Option In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has found the end zone in two straight games. Conner will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 5 after enjoying his bye in Week 4. The veteran running back has put a Week 1 ankle injury behind him to post two consecutive 100-yard games while dominating […]

Anthony McFarland Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For the second year in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a running back in the fourth-round while James Conner still has a firm grip on his place in the backfield. The first fourth-round draftee was former Kentucky Wildcat Benny Snell, and the […]

Another Titans Player Tests Positive For COVID-19

The Tennessee Titans reopening of their team facilities remains on hold after another player tested positive for COVID-19 from Tuesday's round of testing, according to a source. It means that they will not be able to return to practice together on Wednesday, and their Week 5 game against the Bills is now in question. They'll […]
