Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Something or Nothing?

Week 3 of the NFL season is now in the books and while we saw many familiar names register top-fantasy performances there were a few surprises. The quarterback position was fairly stable with Josh Allen coming in as QB-1 on the week off a four-touchdown performance. Justin Herbert had his own four-touchdown game against the […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

We had a clear frontrunner for top waiver priority and FAB burner this week before Sunday even began.

[…]

Brandon Bolden Set For A Bigger Role?

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden, usually a cog on special teams, was forced into more offensive action in the Week 3 loss to the New Orleans Saints than he had seen in almost six years. His chief purpose in the backfield in the second half was to replace James White's (hip) pass protection. […]

James White Suffers Hip Subluxation, Out Indefinitely

New England Patriots running back James White (hip) will be sidelined indefinitely after undergoing further testing on Monday. White suffered a hip subluxation, so a stint on the injured reserve list is the likely outcome moving forward. In White's absence, rookie Rhamondre Stevenson, who was impressive in the preseason, could be in for some more […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Flier WW target of the week, this one.

Nick Folk Makes Both Field Goal Attempts

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk has made a team record 35 straight field goal attempts after his performance in Week 3. Folk connected on both his field goal attempts during the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Patriots offense is struggling to move the ball, which is making it difficult for Folk to […]

Nelson Agholor Struggles In Week 3

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor was expected to somewhat bounce back after a 21-yard outing last week. However, Agholor found a way to have an even worse game versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. He hauled in two of his eight targets for 17 yards in the loss. The Patriots were […]

Jonnu Smith Has Dud Versus Saints

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith hauled in at least four receptions or more during the first two games of the season. However, that quickly changed versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Smith hauled in one of his six targets for four yards in the loss. It was an awful game for […]

Hunter Henry Snags Five Receptions

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been disappointing through the first two games of the season. However, he finally got more involved during the Week 3 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Henry hauled in five of six targets for 36 yards in the loss. The six targets are encouraging, but fantasy managers […]

Kendrick Bourne Finally Make An Impact

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne got off to a slow start to the season through the first two games of the season. However, he finally made an impact during their matchup with the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Bourne hauled in six receptions of his eight targets for 96 yards and one […]

Jakobi Meyers Goes Off Against Saints

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers had no issues versus the New Orleans Saints defense in Week 3. He ended up seeing a season-high in both targets and receptions during Sunday's loss. Meyers hauled in nine of 14 targets for 94 yards and was held without a score. Fantasy managers in PPR formats will […]

Damien Harris Barely Involved In Week 3

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris looked like the clear cut No. 1 option heading into the regular season. Harris saw 23 carries in the season opener, but it has quickly decreased. In Week 3, Harris only saw six carries for 14 yards in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Patriots were […]

Mac Jones Posts Ugly Outing Versus Saints

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones looked shaky throughout the Week 3 matchup with the New Orleans Saints. He completed 30-of-51 passing attempts for 270 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions in the loss. There weren't many positives for Jones in this game. However, losing running back James White (hip) didn't help since he […]

James White Out For Rest Of Week 3

New England Patriots running back James White was carted off the field during Sunday's Week 3 contest against the New Orleans Saints and has been ruled out with a hip injury. He had one carry for six yards and didn't record a reception before exiting. New England's primary receiving back, an extended absence for White […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Is Healthy Scratch Again

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch again in Week 3. After a strong preseason, Stevenson was a popular fantasy sleeper, but after losing a fumble in Week 1, it appears head coach Bill Belichick isn't ready to put Stevenson back on the field. Maybe he appears at some point […]
