Alfred Morris (RB, WAS) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

There was really a guy in my league who drafted Doug Martin and Alfred Morris this season. I was legitimately worried he'd suffered a head trauma and thought it was 2012 again. Like, I wanted to ask him if he was voting for Obama or Romney. I was 95% sure "Call Me Maybe" was playing […]

Melvin Gordon (RB, SD) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

He's losing goal line touches to Danny Woodhead. DANNY WOODHEAD. Danny Woodhead is the exact antithesis of a "goal-line threat" RB. Typically those RBs are like 6 foot, 250 pounds and score by leaning forward and trusting gravity. Danny Woodhead is not 6 foot, 250. Danny Woodhead is closer to 5 foot, 150. Danny Woodhead […]

Doug Martin (RB, TB) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Remember when Doug Martin blew up on the Raiders in 2012? Remember how he hasn't done anything even remotely resembling the same sort of thing since then? If you own Martin, the chances you answered "yes" to question A are pretty high. The chances you answered "yes" to question B are probably pretty slim, though. […]

Lamar Miller (RB, MIA) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Oh hey look, it's my RB2! People were expecting an offensive breakout in South Florida this season, but it looks like the offense is just broken. With losses to the Bills (who are surprisingly good) and the Jaguars (unsurprisingly not good), the Dolphins have been a disappointment this season. Miller came in to this season […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I COULD'VE DRAFTED JULIO JONES I HATE EVERYTHING. Seriously, last year I had Antonio Brown and Jordy Nelson and my team was named the WRecking Crew* I could've had the WRecking Crew 2 it even rhymes gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Anyway, Hill was most likely a late first, early second round pick and aside from a Week […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Week 4 Lineups Busts

This isn't a "gang up on the Cardinals" pick, because I do love the Arizona offense in general. This is more about how impressed I have been with Chris Johnson so far this season. The running back formerly known as CJ2k (as well as CJ1k and CJ0k), has run with a purpose that hasn't been […]

Ameer Abdullah (RB, DET) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Okay, I admit this one requires a little bit of faith. The Lions are 0-3 and head into Seattle on Monday night as almost double digit underdogs. Detroit's offense has been uneven all season and Abdullah has only shown glimpses of the talent that made him a preseason darling of fantasy scribes everywhere. But I have […]

Week 4 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

We're back in the mines for Week 4 after an absolutely insane Week 3. Almost every stud and touted mid-range pick went off. I had friends texting me about how their safer cash game lineups would've won tournaments. The DraftKings Milly Maker winner had 301 points. Breathe. I should say that if you haven't yet, go […]

Shane Vereen a Must Start? May Line Up As WR vs. Bills

New York Giants RB Shane Vereen may spend some time lining up as a wide receiver against the Buffalo Bills. The Giants will once again be without WR Victor Cruz as his calf injury will keep him out of the important Week 4 game. New York offense coordinator Ben McAdoo said "It's all hands on […]

Marshawn Lynch May Miss His First Game Since 2011

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch missed Friday's practice and remains a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Detroit Lions. Lynch did not participate in practice at all this week due to his hamstring injury. The injury of Lynch is near a worst-case scenario for fantasy football manaers looking to decide if they can start […]

Has Chris Johnson Officially Overtaken Andre Ellington?

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians has confirmed the team will start Chris Johnson at running back this week against the St. Louis Rams, despite Andre Ellington likely returning. Ellington suffered an injury in Week 1 causing him to sit out a couple of games, and Johnson has made good with the opportunity given to […]

DeMarco Murray Practices, Questionable For Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back DeMarco Murray is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Washington Redskins after going through a full practice on Friday. Murray is dealing with a hamstring issue and missed Week 3's victory over the New York Jets after struggling through two lackluster performances to start the season. Murray […]

Is Joseph Randle a Top Ten Running Back?

After a lukewarm start to the season, Joseph Randle put up an exciting 28 plus fantasy points in his last outing, doubling his fantasy points from the first two weeks combined. Three weeks into the season and sitting in the top five of fantasy RB scoring, it may be time to take our first look […]

FanDuel Picks for Daily Fantasy Football Week 4: DFS Lineup Advice and Sleepers

The first few weeks of the season have been a bit crazy. Late-round rookies are flashing upside while "locks" haven't been playing as well as people would have hoped. Yes, this opening statement is completely about the Bills. In this article, my FanDuel DFS lineup targets, I will be headlining a few of my top plays […]

Todd Gurley to See More Playing Time

St. Louis Rams rookie running back Todd Gurley should see more playing time going forward, according to head coach Jeff Fisher. Last week was Gurley's NFL debut, but he only played 14 snaps in the team's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even with Fisher stating that Gurley should see more playing time, he is not […]

Joique Bell Misses Practice Again on Friday

Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell has missed practice again and is questionable for Monday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. Even if Bell does play, he is not a recommended fantasy football start. Not only are the Seahawks a tough team to run against, Ameer Abdullah will see the bulk of the playing time […]

Marshawn Lynch Will Be a Game-Time Decision

Everybody hates a player that's a game-time decision, especially when they player was a first-round fantasy football draft pick like Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. Despite Lynch "working hard rehabbing and trying to get back," we are not expected to know his status until an hour or two before kickoff on Sunday. Although Lynch […]

LeSean McCoy to Miss Several Weeks?

If you own LeSean McCoy in any of your fantasy football leagues, you will not like hearing this. The star running back has said that he absolutely will not return to the football field until he is 100 percent healthy. "One thing I promised myself is I can't go out there if I'm not 100 […]

English Premier League Predictions - Saturday 3rd October 2015

The latest rounds of EPL fixtures await and beware the dreaded Champions League hangover. Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion A terrible loss for West Brom against Everton, who in the space of 30 minutes went from a projected 7th in the league to 15th, will motivate the Baggies and they will be keen to put […]

Cameron Artis-Payne (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

This may be a pick that even I look back at and try to figure out what I was thinking. But, as of the time I am writing this article, starting RB Jonathan Stewart and power back Mike Tolbert are yet to practice this week. This leaves the backfield to the rookie Artis-Payne and journeyman […]

C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Another year of fantasy, another year of not knowing what to make of the Denver backfield. It feels like we do this every September--we talk about how this is an offense that likes to utilize one specific back and how much fantasy value they’ll have with Peyton Manning under center. We eventually settle on one […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Right off the bat we have a struggling running back that I’ve been talking up since June. It pains me to say it, but I’m already vastly disappointed by his usage thus far. Luckily, a lot of Hill’s struggles seem to be tied to just that--usage. It’s been made clear that the Bengals prefer Giovani […]

Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lance Dunbar is a tough guy to justify putting in your starting lineup, given he was expected to be the third running back on his own depth chart -- and is still just second -- but he has proven productive enough to at least […]

Panthers' Jonathan Stewart Likely a Game-Time Decision

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart has always had a knack for showing up on the injury reports and this season is certainly no different. Stewart is currently dealing with a knee injury that has put his status for week 4 in doubt. The Panthers are reportedly taking a "wait and see" approach on Stewart, […]

Doug Martin Suffers Knee Injury in Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin suffered a knee injury at practice on Wednesday which kept him out of practice on Thursday. Head coach Lovie Smith said Martin is expected to be OK and return to practice on Friday, but this is definitely something worth keeping an eye on. Martin has yet to run […]

Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffrey Both Highly Questionable

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey are both highly questionable for their week 4 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Cutler is considered 50/50 to play on Sunday due to a hamstring injury while Jeffrey remain limited in practice on Thursday due to his own hamstring injury. Cutler and Jeffrey are a […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Sells?

After loads of talk about Hill assuming a workhorse role in the Bengals backfield, the exact opposite occurred in Week 3. Giovanni Bernard came in early, and rarely left the field. While the Bengals’ pass-happy game plan may have been the determining factor there, the fact that Hill only played on 31% of Cincinnati’s snaps […]

LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins Out vs. Giants

The Buffalo Bills will be without running back LeSean McCoy and wide receiver Sammy Watkins when they face the New York Giants in week 4. McCoy is dealing with a hamstring injury while Watkins has a calf issue. McCoy's absence means Karlos Williams is an absolute must start in all fantasy football leagues. Even if […]
