NFL Betting Picks For Week 17 (1/3/2021) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

I missed out on getting any Week 16 plays out. No pity parties on my end, just too many other real-life issues getting in the way over the past few weeks that took priority. Things have slowed down on that front, so I figured I might as well try and close off the regular season […]

Younghoe Koo A Great Play In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Koo made both field-goal attempts and all three extra points in his first meeting with Tampa Bay two weeks ago, an affair that saw 58 points scored between the two teams. Atlanta may need to keep pace with a Bucs […]

Hayden Hurst A Starting Option

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst has been on a roll lately, with two touchdown receptions in each of his last two games. Hurst gets a matchup with a Buccaneers Defense that has allowed the 11th-most touchdown catches in the league to tight ends. In fact, Hurst himself caught one against them two weeks ago. […]

Russell Gage A WR3 In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage will likely see a prominent role in the offense again, with Julio Jones (hamstring) trending towards missing Week 17 against the Buccaneers. Gage has produced at least 50 yards receiving in three of his last four games, including a 5-68-1 line against this Tampa Bay defense two weeks ago. […]

Calvin Ridley A Top Play Against Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is on fire to end the 2020 season heading into a Week 17 matchup with the Buccaneers. Ridley has at least five catches and 100 receiving yards in each of his last four games, with two touchdowns in that span. He's seen an elite target share without the presence […]

Ito Smith A Dicey Play If Active

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (ribs) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday ahead of the Week 17 contest with the Buccaneers. As long as Smith remains limited the rest of the week, he should be in line to lead the Falcons' backfield yet again. The 25-year-old has averaged 11.2 touches per game over […]

Matt Ryan In The Low-End QB1 Range Against Tampa Bay

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will take on the Buccaneers for the second time in the last three weeks. Ryan comes into the season finale having thrown for at least 300 yards and two touchdowns in each of his last two games- as he prepares to face the league's 22nd-ranked pass defense. Tampa Bay's defense […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 16

This series continues into its sixteenth and final edition for the NFL regular season where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 16, we saw performances such as the San Francisco 49ers wide receivers combine for two receptions against the Arizona Cardinals, […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Most fantasy leagues have been decided after 16 grueling weeks of gridiron action but there are always exceptions. Many will berate the idea of playing through Week 17 when many teams rest their starters but I applaud it. A real fantasy championship should be earned even in the toughest situations. Since 2020 has been an […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 17

Winning a fantasy championship has been your goal since you began preparing for your draft. It has also remained the driving force behind every roster decision that you have made throughout the regular season.

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 17

It's time for the wildest week of the NFL season: Week 17. For those of y'all still playing normal, non-DFS fantasy this week, I just have to say this: good luck. Weird things can happen in the final week of the season as teams rest starters before the playoffs and teams out of contention see […]

Week 16 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Quarterback was a crazy position to navigate in Week 16. Tom Brady saw just 30 minutes of action against the Lions and still managed to finish as QB-2 and Andy Dalton, who is only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues shredded the Eagles Defense to finish as QB-3. Mitch Trubisky accounted for three touchdowns, finishing as QB-7, […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 17 Lightning Round

While some fantasy seasons are over, we here recognize many are still battling in Week 17. Let's take a moment to applaud that we have had a full NFL season thus far, with some admitted turbulence along the way. Week 17 is always messy with backups getting additional play so keep your eyes on the […]

Hayden Hurst Has Touchdown In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst hauled in five receptions for 47 yards and a score on five targets in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. After a three-game stretch with less than 25 yards each week, Hurst had a solid performance this week. Overall, the TE has been inconsistent this season, making it […]

Russell Gage Manages 23 Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage finished with four receptions for 23 yards on five targets in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. Gage has seen at least five targets in the last five games, but his yard total in Week 16 was the lowest since Week 12. Nevertheless, the WR's target share has […]

Calvin Ridley Has Fourth-Straight 100 Yard Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley recorded five receptions for 130 yards on nine targets in Week 16. The WR now has at least nine targets and 108 yards in the last four games and the absence of Julio Jones has led to some monster production for him. Given his stellar recent production, Ridley is […]

Todd Gurley II Musters 16 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II finished with four carries for 16 yards and three receptions for 34 yards on three targets in the loss to Kansas City. Gurley hasn't been all that effective recently and his demotion to team RB2 doesn't help his case. The back has had single-digit carries and less than […]

Ito Smith Rushes For 46 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith finished with 10 carries for 46 yards and one reception for five yards on one target in Week 16. Despite being the RB1 on the team, Smith wasn't all that explosive in this game. Overall, the back hasn't rushed for more than 46 yards in the past four games. […]

Matt Ryan Tosses For 300 Yards

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan finished 27-for-35 for 300 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Chiefs in Week 16. The QB has tossed for at least 300 yards in the past two games now and will face a Bucs squad that allows the 12th-most points to fantasy QBs in the season finale […]
