Week 8 Dynasty Mailbag: Q&A
The first week of six teams on bye in the NFL not only can mean change for season long teams, but for dynasty rosters as well. Teams that are primed for the playoffs will be adding pieces to ensure their league standing and dynasty teams that have fallen on rough luck will look to plan […]
Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 8
Just because a half-dozen teams have a bye this week does not mean there will be fewer under-the-radar booms and busts. Six teams have the week off, so the pool of boom and bust candidates is a little shallower than usual. My column will not be any shorter, though, fantasy folks. There are still plenty […]

As badly as my running back picks from last week went (Latavius Murray, really?), I'd like to think my in-depth analysis on Kenny Stills made up for it if you put him in your lineup. With six teams on bye this week, it's more important than ever to sift through the waiver wire and pick […]
Beating The Waiver Wire - Speculative Stashes for Week 9

Say Goodbye to "Your Guys" - Trade to Win in Week 8
Trading is hard. People looooove their guys and love big names. The tendency is for us to evaluate players based on potential over reality. “Wait, you want to trade who for LeSean McCoy? He was the RB4 last year!” “Julio is still a target monster and will finish with eight TD!” Other common responses include […]

I've been writing a series of articles known as Disaster Recovery this season. Each week, I looked at typical must-start plays that turned in dud performances.

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 8
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football For Week 8
There is an epidemic sweeping the NFL in 2017, the lack of offensive precision in the majority of the league. Sunday had the highest amount of teams who failed to score a touchdown since December of 2001 with seven. Seven teams couldn’t score one touchdown in a 60-minute NFL game. This is just sad. Rules […]
NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 8): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids
What a boring Sunday that was. The matchups were bad and the games even worse. I love good defensive battles, but on Sunday that wasn't even the case. The Titans and Browns combined scored 21 points on seven field goals. Three teams were blanked. Seven teams could not muster a single offensive touchdown. Once again London […]

Ted Ginn (WR, NO) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Known mainly as an inconsistent deep threat with poor hands, Ginn is turning that narrative around in 2017 with the Saints.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Although he tossed a costly late-game interception in the Week 7 loss to Miami, McCown also went 17-for-27 for 209 yards, three passing touchdowns and one rushing score. The previous week he went for a season-high 354 yards and completed 31 passes against the Patriots. […]
Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: If Andrew Luck (shoulder) had been playing this year, Doyle would surely be owned in well over 50 percent of leagues. But with Jacoby Brissett under center, this offense as a whole has been severely downgraded. As is the case with many inexperienced quarterbacks […]
DeAndre Washington (RB, OAK) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Marshawn Lynch's one-game suspension for entering the field and contacting an official during a scrum last Thursday was upheld, meaning Washington and Jalen Richard will split the backfield workload in Week 8 against the Bills. After Lynch was ejected last week, Washington received a season-high nine […]
