Putting Matt Ryan on Ice

Not long ago Matt Ryan was posting top-tier numbers. By "not long ago" I mean no further than six weeks ago, which is to say, half of the games already played this season. Back then we were discussing Ryan as a great fantasy quarterback, one of the best in fantasy football in fact. Then, bad […]

Week 12 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 12, several high-end quarterbacks had terrible games due to rainy and/or windy conditions. It was both windy and rainy in the Boston area on Sunday which contributed to both Tom Brady and Dak Prescott finishing with less than 12 fantasy points. There were stiff winds in Philadelphia and as a result, Russell Wilson came […]

Mike Gesicki Scores For First Time This Year

At a position where just a heartbeat can sometimes qualify you as viable, Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has occasionally popped up as a streaming candidate in 2019, only to mostly disappoint his owners. In Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, Gesicki got off the snide, scoring his first touchdown of the year […]

Kalen Ballage Plods Through Another Loss

Looking back, it's hard to believe that Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage was being drafted ahead of former Dolphin starter Kenyan Drake coming into this season.
