Boobie Dixon a Worthy Week 4 Flex Play?

With LeSean McCoy unlikely to play for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday against the New York Giants, Anthony "Boobie" Dixon may be worth adding on the waiver wire and starting as a week 4 flex play. Of course it goes without saying that Karlos Williams will see the bulk of the carries for the Bills, […]

Matt Jones to Continue Seeing More Carries Despite Fumbling Issues

Alfred Morris owners won't be happy to hear this, but Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden will continue to give Matt Jones the bulk of the carries at running back. This is despite the fact that Jones has already lost two fumbles in just three NFL games. “We’re not going to shy away from giving him […]

La Liga - Spanish Primera Division Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: For the first time in a long, long time - here is a Seahawks running back that has received a lot of positive off-season hype, and might actually pay off. Thomas Rawls was a UDFA that the Seahawks coaches just would not stop talking about over […]

Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

Sample size, sample size, sample size. You hear fantasy pundits mutter this phrase constantly during the early weeks of the season. What exactly does it mean though? Simply put, having a small sample size means that we don't have enough information to make accurate predictions about a player's future performance. For running backs, this often […]

Make Room in Your Lineups for Andre Ellington's Return

Hopefully Chris Johnson enjoyed his big week as the Arizona Cardinals starting running back on Sunday when he had over 100 yards and two touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers, because he'll be back on bench duty next week. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians told the media following the game that Andre Ellington is expected back […]

Charles Sims Challenging Doug Martin in the Bucs' Backfield

Heading into the 2015 NFL season, everyone knew Doug Martin was a risky fantasy football draft pick. But as the preseason played out, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers convinced many people that Martin was undoubtedly going to be the team's feature back. Well, that only seemed to last two weeks into the regular season. In week 3 […]

English Premier League - Monday Match Preview

West Bromwich Albion vs. Everton Game Preview Monday, September 28th @ The Hawthorns West Brom Much like their opponent this Monday, West Brom have proved that they are not a team that will bend to the demands of bigger clubs. Much like Everton’s steadfast resistance to Chelsea’s chase of John Stones, West Brom repeatedly rejected […]

Karlos Williams Will Continue to Hurt LeSean McCoy's Numbers

If you think LeSean McCoy's health is the only reason Karlos Williams is seeing the field - think again. According to The Buffalo News, Williams' playing time will continue to increase throughout the season. Unlike McCoy who has struggled to find any running room out of the backfield (he only had 16 yards on 11 carries […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Four The third Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Cardinals dismantled the 49ers hopes and dreams, while the Bills rebounded from a big loss against the Patriots while sticking it to the Dolphins. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 3 was filled with […]

Marshawn Lynch Exits Early - Carroll: "Nothing To Be Alarmed By"

Marshawn Lynch was listed as active going into their 4:25 home opener against the Chicago Bears, yet he started the game on the sidelines. This is not a completely foreign sight, as Lynch has occasionally taken the first few drives off as he continues to get loose when dealing with a nagging injury. What was […]

Ben Roethlisberger Escapes With MCL Sprain, Likely Out 4-6 Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered what looked like a scary injury on Sunday afternoon, but fortunately he seems to have avoided anything serious. CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) has reported that Roethlisberger suffered no damage to his ACL, but did sustain an MCL sprain. Former NFL head team physician David J. Chao, […]

Marshawn Lynch active versus the Bears

After some late-week injury-report theatrics, Marshawn Lynch is reported as active versus the Bears in Week 3. The only concern for Lynch owners is that Seattle might run up the score so much, so quickly, that Seattle may choose to rest Lynch a bit. Through two weeks, however, the big back has played nearly 80% of […]

Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams Upgraded to Probable   

With some nice depth on the team, the Green Bay Packers may have been served well by backup RB James Starks and WR Ty Montgomery. In some very positive news for the Packers, however, both RB Eddie Lacy and WR Davante Adams have been upgraded from questionable to probable, after some concern and hand-wringing throughout the week. […]

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller & TE Jordan Cameron Expected to Play

Ian Rappaport tweeted around 4:00 AM that both Jordan Cameron and Lamar Miller are expected to play for the Dolphins this afternoon. The news coming 12 hours before gametime figures to be a great sign for Dolphins fans and all interested parties. After playing over 80% of snaps in Week 1, Miller played closer to 60% in Week […]

DeMarco Murray Inactive Against Jets, Darren Sproles a Must Start

Keeping up with his mediocre debut with the Philadelphia Eagles thus far into the season,  DeMarco Murray is now listed as inactive during Week 3 against the New York Jets. Despite being listed as questionable after injuring his hamstring during practice on Sept. 23, ESPN’s Adam Schefter originally reported that “Murray has told people he plans […]

Philadelphia Eagles Running Back DeMarco Murray Declared Inactive

Fox Sports columnist Mike Garafolo has reported that Philadelphia Eagles running back DeMarco Murray will be inactive today against the New York Jets. According to reports, Murray's hamstring did not react well to testing this morning. This is the sort of potentially lingering injury that could make Murray's owners nervous for the next couple weeks. […]

Jeremy Hill to Return to Starting Role for Cincinnati

According to NFL Media's Aditi Kinkhabwala,  Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson says that Jeremy Hill will return to the workhorse role for the Bengals in Week 3. After Jeremy Hill lost a pair of fumbles in Week 2, Giovani Bernard took over with 20 carries for 123 yards against the Chargers. With Jeremy Hill […]

Seahawks Running Back Marshawn Lynch to Play Today Against the Bears

According to Ian Rapoport, Seahawks Running Back Marshawn Lynch will play at home today against the Chicago Bears. Lynch was limited in practice this week with a calf injury, but with him in the lineup, he should be in your lineup. I expect RB1 production for Lynch today against a Bears defense that ranks 10th […]

Rams Rookie Todd Gurley to Make NFL debut

According to Chris Mortensen, Todd Gurley will make his NFL debut today at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gurley is a high-risk/high-reward fantasy option for this week as it is unclear how many snaps he will play. With Gurley healthy, it is safe to drop Benny Cunningham in fantasy leagues. The debut of Gurley is […]

Chris Ivory Likely In, Eric Decker Out Against The Eagles

According to Ian Rapoport, Chris Ivory expects to play in Week 3 and Eric Decker is out with a PCL sprain at home against the Philadelphia Eagles today. With Ivory likely to play, Bilal Powell is not as intriguing of a fantasy option anymore and he should be relegated to the bench or waiver wire. […]

Isaiah Crowell (RB, CLE) - Week 3 Matchups Analysis

After a rough showing against the Jets  in Week 1 (who isn’t going to have a rough showing against that defense this year?), Isaiah Crowell bounced back with a strong showing against Tennessee in Week 2, rushing for 72 yards and a touchdown. His long term fantasy football upside may be limited, as he’s sharing […]

Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams Still Questionable for Week 3

As of the time of this writing, both Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams are still listed as questionable for their Week 3 matchups with the Kansas City Chiefs. Both players sustained ankle injuries in Week 2 versus the Seahawks, and were forced to leave the game. Adams eventually returned on a limited basis, but Lacy remained out […]

Week 3 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Week Three Booms QB Russell Wilson, SEA: The Seahawks are much better than their 0-2 record indicates.  The Bears are not.  Chicago has been gashed for seven passing touchdowns already this season, which is worst in the league.  Enter a Seattle passing attack still looking to incorporate it's new, shiny toy in Jimmy Graham.  The Seahawks […]

Week 3 Boom/Bust Candidates for Early Games

By now you're likely starting to get a feel for your team, but as the first two weeks have shown, just about everything we think we know is wrong. DeMarco Murray and Andrew Luck have been disappointing, Alfred Morris is being replaced, Jimmy Graham is barely being targeted, Peyton Manning can't throw anymore and Adrian […]

Chris Polk (RB, HOU) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I think Polk will act as the lead back on Sunday for Houston who looks to again be without Arian Foster. This is a team that has to get something going on the ground, because Ryan Mallett is certainly not going to be carrying them through the air. So far it's been a pretty even split […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote up McCluster earlier in the week, calling him a hail mary play for Week 3. I still feel the same about McCluster - he is a boom or bust candidate that likely depends on hitting a big play. But I love McCluster's talent, and it's just a matter of whether or not he […]
