Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sam Darnold is finally back--or so he should be. Everything pointed to a Week 5 return, but Darnold himself and the Jets staff both deemed it too risky to push the sophomore to make an appearance this early. But Week 6 will see […]

Albert Wilson Limited This Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) has been limited in practices on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Wilson aggravated his calf in the season opener and hasn't played since, although he had the bye week to heal up and could return in Week 6 against the Redskins in a nice matchup. Wilson figures […]

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 6

We have a very uneven matchup tonight between the healthy New England Patriots and the already terrible, also beat-up New York Football Giants. We're looking at just a 17-point spread, which will be interesting to watch how Danny Dimes keeps it that close. We'll be diving into the showdown slate, where there's plenty of money […]

Josh Rosen The Starter The Rest Of The Way

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that the team's quarterback situation is "settled" and that Josh Rosen will be the guy the rest of the season. Rosen hasn't been great in his two starts the last two games, but he's been slightly better than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Against the similarly terrible Redskins in Week 6, […]

Who's Receiving, Who's Giving? - NFL NextGen Stats

We've talked about quarterback changes plenty this season, because the start of the year has been full of injuries and replacements taking the reigns as signal-caller. However, with five weeks of play in the books and things starting to settle a bit, we can flip the page and get back to studying some of the […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 6 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

If you thought the waiver wire was getting barer every passing week, you would be correct. These days, a half-decent running back can't gain more than two yards without getting snatched up by desperate fantasy owners. The wide receiver position is more promising, however. While there aren't many surprises at QB or TE, the first […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Time flies in the NFL. It seems like the season just started, but now five weeks of football action are behind us. Sunday was a day headlined by some of the league's heavy hitters. The top 11 scoring wide receivers from Thursday and the Sunday noon slate were 70 percent owned or better, so this […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

The scoreboards are lighting up all over the league. While star players did most of the damage this past week, there are always some unexpected names that emerge as well. Before we wrap up with Sunday night action, here is our instant analysis on free agents to add with the waiver wire lightning round for […]

Josh Rosen (QB, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A thing that I'm always hesitant to admit is that I'm still a Josh Rosen believer. His NFL career's gotten off to a rough start, but I still think there's something there. The Dolphins made the right call replacing Ryan Fitzpatrick with Rosen […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 5

In Week 4, Cooper Kupp and Kenny Golladay came through in a big way if you rolled them out in your DFS lineups. The other wide receivers that were recommended in this weekly piece didn't have the greatest days at the office. D.J. Moore had a great matchup, but he simply wasn't targeted often enough […]

Week 5 DFS Cash Game Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 5 brings a fresh new look to the NFL as the games head to London for the first time. The good news is that the game remains in the 1 pm window and therefore ensures we have a nice juicy 12-game slate for our perusal. However, with the Lions on the bye this week […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 5

Before we get into the waiver wire analysis, I want to state that the Patriots have put together a football dynasty like none we've ever seen. However, I think we should all agree that a 16-game season is a whole lot less taxing when six of them every year are against the Dolphins, Bills, and […]

Jakeem Grant Continues Trending Down

After being removed in the fourth quarter of a Week 4 loss to the Chargers with a strained hamstring, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant was held out of practice on Wednesday. While Grant is not expected to miss significant time with Miami in their bye week, he still only finished with one catch for […]

Under-The-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 5

One month of the NFL regular season is in the books! I hope for your sake you have been using more booms than busts in your fantasy football lineups. The best news for fantasy players this week is that the lowly Miami Dolphins are on bye. If you have been using Josh Rosen, Kenyan Drake, […]

Air Arians' Offense Is Taking Off

Coming into the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were expected to have one of the top offenses in the NFL. Through the first two weeks, they averaged just 15.5 points. Over the last two weeks though, they've turned things around to average 43 points following an explosive performance in L.A. Behind the Kansas City Chiefs […]

Drops Continue to Plague Kalen Ballage

The usage of Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage continued to drop in a 31-10 Week 4 loss to the Chargers, with Ballage only rushing the ball twice and finishing with seven yards. Ballage dropped his only target of the game on a likely 12-yard touchdown pass and was seemingly supplanted by Mark Walton as […]

Digging Deeper Into Quarterback Data - NFL NextGen Stats

I can't believe it. Months of waiting, painful empty weekends, and now a quarter of the NFL season is suddenly gone! But I'm not going to lie, I love the moment when the whistle blows to end the week on Monday nights. It is just the confirmation that we have another full round of data […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Some of you have been receiving outstanding results from the running backs that you selected during your draft process. Unfortunately, many of you have endured injuries, disappointing output, and inconsistent patterns of usage with your runners. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have diminished your enthusiasm for some of the backs that […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Let's talk about wide receivers! This week's waiver wire list has some strong names on it. This has been a really deep year for wide receivers, and Week 4 was no exception when it came to lightly-owned players putting up strong numbers. There was A.J. Brown getting two touchdowns. There was another strong Mohamed Sanu […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 5

There will not be a stampede of fantasy players searching for tight ends this week. The Week 5 bye teams will not really kill any fantasy owners at the tight end position, as Detroit’s injured / inconsistent rookie T.J. Hockenson and Miami’s underwhelming Mike Gesicki are the two starting tight ends off. That does not […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 5)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Kenyan Drake Remains Mostly Irrelevant

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake did little in a 31-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, rushing nine times for 44 yards and no scores. He also caught 3-of-5 targets for 29 yards as the Miami offense actually moved the ball well in the first half, with Drake busting a 19-yard screen […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody wants to roster players from the Dolphins. Understandable to an extent, even in Devante Parker's case. Miami is on pace to complete a historically bad season. The Dolphins have scored two touchdowns in four games, accrued a league-worst 900 yards on […]

Dolphins Optimistic Albert Wilson Will Return After Bye

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is "optimistic" that wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) will return in Week 6 against the Redskins after the team's bye week in Week 5. Wilson aggravated his calf in the season opener and hasn't played since. When he returns, he'll be in the slot with Devante Parker and rookie […]
