Early 2021 NFL Mock Draft

Although the NFL and college football seasons are not close to ending, we all want to know what shiny new prospects will be coming by way of the draft for our favorite teams as soon as possible. Can't blame fans for being hopeful! This mock draft does not bother guesstimating potential trades because of how […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10

Suddenly we are into the 10th week of the season. Week 9 gave us some incredible NFL games along with some incredible individual team performances. Thankfully, this also turned into some amazing fantasy performances (Dalvin Cook, Travis Kelce, Kyler Murray, Josh Allen, Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees to name a few). The season […]

Recently, I shared my first installment of In-Season Tips for Success and Survival in Fantasy Football. Now we are back with more.

We help you become […]

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

We're past Week 9 already and entering the home stretch of the season, which means you will be fighting harder than ever to procure that sweet playoff spot. And knowing the importance of having a solid quarterback in your lineups (or two, if you are part of a 2QB/Super-FLEX league!), it's only right we highlight […]

FAB Bidding - Week 10 Waiver Wire Targets

We're now barreling towards Week 10 and that means four weeks remain in the traditional regular season of fantasy football. Are you ready for the fourth quarter?

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

For those still following this column closely, congrats on staying in contention during this crazy year. There may not be a singular league-winning player on your waiver wire this week but you never know who will become a breakout star in the second half. The waiver wire is more important in 2020 than ever. The […]

The Cut List (Week 10) - Time to Let Go?

Week 9 was an all-around awful one for me from a fantasy/gambling perspective, so I'm a little ticked off as I settle in to write this week's edition of the Cut List. My starting QB in my primary home league, Justin Herbert, had a last-second touchdown taken off the board. Chase Edmonds logged 88 yards […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

Dez Bryant is back! But while the veteran receiver did return to an NFL roster this week, his complete lack of involvement means you won't find his name on this week's waiver wire pickup list. You will find some other names, though, if you're looking for non-Dez names! Not all options are the same. Some […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

Millions of fantasy football managers will be without their star tight ends this upcoming week, so finding a future fantasy force or a one-week stopgap at the position on the waiver wire has never been more important this season. Fantasy footballers will be without the top two tight ends in fantasy football this week.  Kansas […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 10

Week 9 has come and gone (minus Monday night's impending dumpster fire between the Patriots and Jets) and teams just keep hitting their offensive stride. After a slow Week 8, NFL offenses erupted once again with one 400-yard passer (Josh Allen) and 10 different 300-yard passing efforts. Additionally, two quarterbacks had four passing touchdowns with […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Typing Week 10 feels strange, but it's true -- we are hitting the home stretch of most fantasy football regular seasons! We had many COVID-19 scares but all games were played once again. Key injuries included David Johnson (concussion), David Montgomery (concussion), Justin Jackson (knee), Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring), Preston Williams (foot). Christian McCaffrey also seemed […]

Week 9 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Unlike Week 8, the weather was great in Week 9 and there were some shootouts. Four quarterbacks registered more than 30 fantasy points and three more exceeded 25 with Kyler Murray leading the way. At tight end Travis Kelce exploded for 159 yards finishing as the No. 1 tight end on the week and T.J. Hockenson finished […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Jets vs Patriots

After several fun and exciting Monday night matchups, we have gotten into the unfortunate part of the season. The Tampa Bay and Giants matchup seemed rough… but then the Patriots and Jets game entered the picture and I feel like none of us will be the same. If you are starting more than one of […]

Falcons Waive Takkarist McKinley

The Atlanta Falcons waived defensive end Takkarist McKinley on Monday. McKinley didn't play in Week 9 because of an injury and has been a bust for Atlanta after he was taken 26th overall in the first round in the 2017 draft out of UCLA. The 25-year-old has only played in four games this year, tallying […]

Russell Gage Unable To Take Advantage Of Ridley's Absence

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage caught two of his six targets in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, finishing with 11 yards. With Calvin Ridley out, Gage was a popular pick to take on a larger workload, but it was Olamide Zaccheaus who had the huge day as the team's secondary receiver. This was […]

Younghoe Koo Nails Six Kicks In Victory

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made both field-goal attempts and all four extra points in a 34-27 victory over the Denver Broncos. Koo connected from 52 yards out, his third make from 50 yards or more. The 26-year-old has been fantastic this season, as he ranks in the top-five in points despite missing a game. […]

Hayden Hurst Catches Season-High Seven Passes

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught seven of eight targets for 62 receiving yards in a 34-27 win over Denver. Hurst has seemingly found his niche in this offense, as he has seven targets or more in three straight games and 50-plus receiving yards in four straight. The former Raven may not be the […]

Olamide Zaccheaus Explodes For 103 Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught four of six targets for 103 yards and a score in a victory over the Broncos. Zaccheaus made the most of his opportunity with Calvin Ridley (foot) out of the lineup, as he set a new career-high in receiving yards. The 23-year-old beat the Broncos Defense deep for […]

Julio Jones Goes For 54 Yards And A Touchdown

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones hauled in five of seven targets for 54 receiving yards and a touchdown in a 34-27 victory over Denver. Jones completely faked the defense on his touchdown route, as he was left wide open in the end zone. The All-Pro wideout wasn't needed for much more than that, as […]

Todd Gurley II Handles 21 Touches, Finds The End Zone

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II turned 21 touches into 55 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in a 34-27 win over the Broncos. Gurley II was completely stymied by the Broncos front, as they held him to just 2.8 yards per carry. It certainly hasn't been pretty for the former Ram, as he's been […]

Matt Ryan Tosses Three Touchdown Passes In Win

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 25 of 35 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns to one interception. Ryan effectively carved up the Broncos Defense to the tune of 8.1 yards per attempt, connecting on touchdowns with three different receivers. It was his fourth game this year with at least 250 passing yards and […]

Calvin Ridley Inactive For Week 9

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Ridley's status had been up in the air all week, and now we know that the budding star won't be on the field for Week 9. With Ridley sidelined, expect to see more of Russell Gage, who has […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 9

The recommendations from the Week 8 wide receiver matchup article were fairly productive, featuring Corey Davis, Brandon Aiyuk, Cooper Kupp and Tyler Boyd who all finished inside the top-15. On the negative side, Marquise Brown was only targeted twice, A.J. Green underwhelmed and Justin Jefferson couldn't get it done in windy conditions which limited the […]
