Sizing Up NFL Rookies That Flopped In 2020

2020 was a great season for some rookies around the NFL. Justin Jefferson set the rookie receiving yards record. Justin Herbert said a huge year for the Chargers. James Robinson earned the lead-back role in Jacksonville from the start and through Week 15 was the overall RB4 in PPR. But not every rookie was able […]

Damiere Byrd Posts Dud In Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd surprisingly saw the second-most targets on the team this season. Only wide receiver Jakobi Meyers saw more targets in the passing game. Sadly, Byrd has basically a non-factor during the last two weeks of the regular season. In Week 17, Byrd caught one of his three targets for […]

N'Keal Harry A Non-Factor In Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry has put together a lackluster 2020 season. There was hope he'd make a splash in his sophomore campaign, but that was not the case. In Week 17, Harry hauled in both of his targets for 17 yards in the win over the New York Jets. He was unable […]

James White Hauls In TD Against Jets

New England Patriots running back James White had arguably the worst season of his career in 2020. He was a non-factor in the running game as he finished with a total of 121 rushing yards. However, White was able to make an impact in the receiving game during the Week 17 win over the New […]

Jakobi Meyers Posts 68 Yards Versus Jets

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers seemingly came out of nowhere and looked like the best option on this offense. He finished out the regular season hauling in six of his seven targets for 68 yards in the win over the New York Jets. Meyers climbed his way up the depth chart and shined […]

Sony Michel Rushes For 76 Yards In Win

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel has not put together the season that he would've hoped for coming into the year. However, he did play fairly well during the regular season finale against the New York Jets. He rushed 16 times for 76 yards and caught three passes for 60 yards and one touchdown […]

Cam Newton Plays Well In Week 17

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton bounced back versus the New York Jets in Week 17. He completed 21 of 30 passing attempts for 242 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions in the win. Newton also rushed 11 times for 79 yards on the ground which was a team-high in this game. This was […]

Damien Harris Won't Play Against Jets

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) won't play against the Jets on Sunday. Harris will enter the offseason as the top candidate on this Patriots team to start at running back next season, though there's always plenty of mystery with this team's running back corps. As for this week, expect to see more […]

Patriots Expected To Part Ways With Cam Newton

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Patriots and quarterback Cam Newton are expected to part ways this offseason. Newton struggled as a passer in his one season in New England but continued to make an impact as a rusher, adding 12 rushing touchdowns. Newton still has value to a team due to his rushing upside, […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 17 (1/3/2021) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

I missed out on getting any Week 16 plays out. No pity parties on my end, just too many other real-life issues getting in the way over the past few weeks that took priority. Things have slowed down on that front, so I figured I might as well try and close off the regular season […]

Damiere Byrd Falling Off Fantasy Radar

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has surprisingly been a productive option for this offense throughout most of the season. Although, Byrd has a total of four receptions for 31 yards over his last two games. The Patriots offense is not clicking right now and there aren't many appealing options on this roster. It's […]

N'Keal Harry Has Minimal Value In Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry has not been able to make much of an impact during his sophomore campaign. To be fair, quarterback Cam Newton has struggled to get the ball to his receivers. Over the last three games, Harry has a total of five receptions, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from […]

Jakobi Meyers Carries Low-End WR3 Value

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen significant involvement in the offense during the second half of the season. Sadly, quarterback Cam Newton has struggled throwing the ball, which has hurt the value of the players around him. Meyers has hauled in four receptions or more in four of his last five games. […]

James White Avoidable Against Jets

New England Patriots running back James White is having the worst season of his career in 2020. The veteran back has a total of 121 rushing yards heading into Week 17. To be fair, White does most of his damage in the receiving game. However, he only has 334 receiving yards, which is the worst […]

Sony Michel A Possible RB3 In Week 17

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel has not shown much ability to move the ball on the ground since returning from injury. He has only produced one game with over 70 rushing yards or more in each of his last four games. The New York Jets have a decent run defense, so don't expect […]

Cam Newton A QB2 Versus Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is expected to make the start against the New York Jets in Week 17. The veteran quarterback was benched last week in favor of Jarrett Stidham. Newton completed five of 10 passing attempts for 34 yards before exiting the game. Honestly, it appears Newton's arm strength is completely shot […]

Cam Newton On Track To Remain Starting QB For Week 17

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was lifted from Monday's loss to the Bills in favor of Jarrett Stidham, yet that doesn't appear to have swayed head coach Bill Belichick, who said Tuesday that he "would imagine" Newton will be under center in Week 17. The decision to start Newton again amidst tremendous struggles would […]

N'Keal Harry A Non-Factor Versus Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry has a total of two receptions for 15 yards over his last two games. The Patriots offense is bad, but Harry has been doing basically nothing lately. He hauled in one of his four targets for three yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. […]
