Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Some of you were forced to contend with significant injuries to your running backs during the matchups of Week 4, while others experienced frustrating output and inconsistent patterns of usage. The sudden bye weeks for Tennessee, and Pittsburgh, also created unexpected challenges for anyone with Derrick Henry, or James Conner. Uncertainty surrounding the status of New […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Another week is in the books, though not how we expected, with one game postponed until later in the year and Patriots/Chiefs postponed until Monday night. We saw some good wide receiver performances this week, some of which came from unexpected places. We saw two long touchdowns from random Chargers receivers, for example! Who expected […]

Week 4 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

There were 17 quarterbacks that scored at least 20-fantasy points in Week 4 with Dak Prescott leading the charge. Teddy Bridgewater, Justin Herbert and Sam Darnold were some unfamiliar faces that cracked the top-10 this week, but other than those guys none of the big producers really surprised us. As a whole, tight ends weren't […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Expected To Start In Week 5

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that he expects quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to get the start in Week 5 against the 49ers. "I understand where everybody's coming from with Tua and I get all that," Flores said. "At the same time, he's a young player, he's coming off the injury, so we'll make the […]

Justin Herbert (QB, LAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: God bless the doctor who punctured Tyrod Taylor's lung. No, seriously, I hope Taylor recovers soon and everything is good with him, but had that not happened we might have gone through 2020 without watching Herbert at all, who knows? With Taylor out since […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, MIA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I've been telling you for a while now: without Jameis Winston in the active roster of starting quarterbacks, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the closest thing we have to a boom-or-bust player at the position. Is that great? No. Is it bad? Neither. In fact, and […]

Jason Sanders Has Incredible Game

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders was basically the only player on this team that could score in Week 4. Sanders connected on all five of his field goal attempts during the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He finished with 15 of the 23 points the Dolphins scored in this one. The Dolphins offense hasn't given […]

Mike Gesicki Held To One Reception

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki showed a promising performance in Week 2, but has two total receptions since then. In Week 4, Gesicki finished with one reception on three targets for 15 yards in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It was a rough game for Gesicki who was expected to play well against […]

Preston Williams Fails To Produce

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has failed to impress during the first four games of the regular season. He hauled in one of his three targets for 15 yards during the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Williams has promising upside, but has continued to disappoint this season. At this point, Williams can […]

Isaiah Ford Gets Targeted 10 Times

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Isaiah Ford surprisingly saw 10 targets during the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Sadly, Ford was only able to haul in four of those 10 targets for 48 yards. The Dolphins continue to involve Ford in their offense, but he hasn't been able to capitalize on his chances. Miami […]

DeVante Parker Hauls In 10 Receptions

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (ankle) was basically the only bright spot for this offense in Week 4. He hauled in 10 of his 12 targets for 110 yards in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He did miss a little bit of time due to an ankle injury, but was able to check […]

Jordan Howard Invisible Against Seahawks

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard was basically invisible during the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He carried the ball two times for two yards and caught one pass for negative three yards. The Dolphins goal line back was a ghost in this game and continues to lose fantasy value at a rapid […]

Matt Breida Posts Dud In Week 4

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida continues to struggle to get anything going on the ground this season. He carried the ball three times for nine yards in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is, Breida caught three passes for 39 yards through the air. The Dolphins use a three-back […]

Myles Gaskin Held In Check By Seattle

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has been heavily involved in the offense over the last few weeks. Gaskin has quickly become the lead back in Miami, but was not able to get much going during the Week 4 matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks. He rushed 10 times for 40 yards in the loss. Gaskin […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Finishes With Over 300 Yards

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was expected to be a reliable streaming option, but failed to capitalize on his opportunities. He completed 29 of 45 passing attempts for 315 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He somewhat saved his fantasy value by adding six carries for 47 […]

DeVante Parker Heading To Locker Room

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has gone to the locker room after having is ankle/foot looked at in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Something to monitor during the day, as the Dolphins don't have a ton of depth at the wide receiver position should Parker wind up not returning to this game and […]

Another week, and another six out of the top 10 defenses correct. Some of the top ones were gimmes, and I'm a little surprised by how the Chargers Defense laid an egg versus Carolina and the way the Bills Defense just seemed totally lost against the Rams in the second half. I'm happy I trusted […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts: Week 4

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of all the injuries in the NFL. Trying to field a lineup in fantasy football lineup in standard leagues, dynasty leagues or DFS contests is harder than finding a decent player on the New York Jets offense or New York Giants Defense. Injuries create openings for […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Avoid - Week 4

Three weeks into the NFL season, the PPGA (points per game against) stat is beginning to stabilize and give us a better understanding of CB matchups. The truth is that defensive performance against a position is mostly driven by the receiver. For example, WR2s are only averaging 2.7 PPG against the Bengals. That is more […]
