Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll keep it short and sweet here - you need to win and I want you to win. That's where the ol' gut comes in. See, there are many reasons to think Cousins won't throw the ball very often this week, Edwards will see a reduced workload, McKenzie has too low a ceiling to start […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 15): NFL DFS Lineups

Two Saturday games on top of the usual prime time games has really left this slate a little devoid of options.

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams.

Stay […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Crucial Pivots for Fantasy Football Week 15

Us fantasy folks have a mantra that gets repeated ad nauseam throughout the season. "Start your studs" is the standard cliché you hear when it comes to making obvious lineup decisions. No one should be starting the likes of Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers just because Carr has an easy matchup...or should they? That's what […]

Spoiler Alert! Favorable Matchups to Avoid

Lucas. The Replacements. Me, Myself and Irene. Hollywood is full of underdogs who finally had enough and made it known, "Don’t test me!" It seems the script is now taking effect in the 2018 NFL with teams such as Cincinnati, Tampa Bay, Arizona, and yes, even Oakland, that they are not just going to lay […]

Joe Flacco Questionable For Week 15

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) practiced in full all week but is questionable for Week 15 against the Buccaneers. Flacco should return this Sunday, but he'll be backing up rookie Lamar Jackson now. Jackson could be on a shorter leash if he struggles if Flacco is active, but Flacco has no business being owned […]

[…]

Trusting Derrick Henry (or Not) in Fantasy Playoffs

Few things give me true pleasure in watching the game of football like watching a running back rip off a long run. Derrick Henry did just that in Week 14, running for 99 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He didn't stop there, posting a memorable 238 yards and four touchdowns on the day. That's the stuff of […]

Lamar Jackson To Start Over Joe Flacco

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson will start in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, while Joe Flacco (hip) will return and back the rookie up. Flacco hasn't played since Nov. 4 and was already playing poorly before his injury. Jackson has gone 3-1 in his four starts and although […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Once again we have encountered a sudden change in direction regarding which Raven backs will be involved in touch distribution.

Week 15 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Aaron Rodgers @ Chicago, Matt Ryan vs. ARI, Matt […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is obviously contingent on Lamar Jackson’s status for next week, but if Jackson’s injury is more serious than initially believed than Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will fall into a dream matchup against Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers have allowed the third-most fantasy points […]

Josh Allen (QB, BUF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen meets the ownership threshold to be a deep-league option, he can be considered in leagues of all depth. Allen has been everything we’ve wanted Lamar Jackson to be since Allen returned from injury. In his three games […]

Lamar Jackson Should Be Fine

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson "should be fine" after leaving the end of the game in overtime in the Week 14 loss to the Chiefs with an undisclosed injury.

Mark Andrews Fails To Record Reception

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was targeted twice but was unable to come up with either one of rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson's passes in Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs. It was the first time that the rookie has failed to haul in a pass this season. He saw the second most snaps in the […]

Chris Moore's Reception Streak Ends

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs. Moore entered the game having caught a pass in nine straight games, accumulating 12 receptions during this stretch. The 25-year-old, who is the team's fourth wideout, is much more valuable on special […]

Maxx Williams Reaches End Zone For First Time

Baltimore Ravens tight end Maxx Williams caught his lone target, a 10-yard touchdown, in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
