Jakobi Meyers - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen double digit targets during each of his last two games. Meyers appears to be the centerpiece of this offense and that's unlikely to change. He'll get a Houston Texans defense in Week 5 that has struggled to contain the passing game. The Patriots have aired it […]

Brandon Bolden - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden made a significant impact during the Week 4 loss. Bolden was basically unseen until last week, but finally broke through against Tampa Bay. He hauled in six receptions for 51 yards, but it's uncertain if he'll continue this success. The loss of James White (hip) should mean that […]

Damien Harris - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has 10 total rushing yards over the last two games. The absence of James White (hip) should mean that Harris gets more involved in the offense. Last week, Harris saw only four carries in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although, that should change in Week 5 […]

Mac Jones A Low-End Streaming Option

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has thrown for 270 yards or more in three of his first four games. He's in line for another positive game against the Houston Texans in Week 5. A defense that has struggled to contain the passing game this season. The Patriots have aired it out over the last […]

Fantasy managers saw seven kickers who failed to even score five points and another seven kickers who managed to score in the double-digits.

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

There will be no victory lapping or keeping score here – largely because tight ends mostly suck and we're all losing unless we have Kelce, Waller and well, I think that's it. Sadly, I think we've even lost George Kittle and T.J. Hockenson for the time being. But the goal is to lose a little […]
