Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 4

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Marquise Brown Held To 49 Yards

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown came out of the gates on fire in Week 1 and has come back down to earth a little bit since then, failing to score in his last two games. In Week 3, Brown had just two catches for 49 yards. Lamar Jackson completed just 22 of his 43 […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]
