Cam Newton Questionable Against Chargers

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Chargers. Newton was limited in practice all week, so fantasy managers should consider him likely to suit up on Sunday. He could be in danger of aggravating the injury because of his aggressive style of play and the fact […]

Cam Newton On The Week 13 Injury Report

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Newton's injury doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 13 against the Chargers. The 31-year-old former MVP was just 9-for-18 passing for 84 yards and two interceptions in the Week 12 win over the Cardinals. He […]

You won't believe it, but you weren't dreaming. That turkey you stuffed your face with a few days ago? Real. Your weekly meeting with football on the telly this past Sunday? Also real.

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 12

This series continues into its twelfth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 12, we saw performances such as Patrick Mahomes throwing for 462 passing yards, the Denver Broncos wide receivers getting no receptions, and the Minnesota Vikings running […]

Potential Fantasy Football Playoff Heroes From AFC Teams

As you are preparing for the playoffs, examining schedules and matchups now becomes a primary focus.

You don't get bonus points for leftover FAB money -- make sure you're in the playoffs! With our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by […]

The Cut List (Week 13) - Time to Let Go?

For our Week 13 Cut List preamble, we are going to lament the absolutely mystifying chain of events that ended the Chargers/Bills game in Week 12. Down by 10 with 3:21 left on the clock and starting from his own 12-yard-line, Justin Herbert led yet another impressive late-game drive that included two fourth-down conversions--one of […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 13

Another week of NFL football is in the books, mostly, though there is (maybe) a game on Tuesday this week. The wide receiver-centric recap of Week 12 goes like this: Tyreek Hill TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 13

Week 13 is the unluckiest week of the fantasy football season --- for those managers and teams who lose and do not end up making their league’s playoffs. Even this late into the season, two teams are going to be on bye (Tampa Bay and Carolina), so fantasy managers will have to find a replacement […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

This past week brought more COVID-related adjustments, but no games were completely canceled and teams came to play on Sunday (even the QB-less Broncos). With many players sitting on IR or being put on the COVID list, many managers have had to scramble for replacements. This week, I have come up with a limited list […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 13 Lightning Round

Week 13 approaches and with it, the final week of many fantasy football seasons. Week 12 was chaotic, with COVID-19 pushing BAL-PIT to Tuesday and forcing Denver to start Kendall Hinton at QB. We also saw superstar performances from Tyreek Hill, Derrick Henry, Antonio Gibson, and several others. Cross your fingers for calm skies next […]

Week 12 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 12 was a little frustrating for quarterbacks with Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray all finishing outside the top-10. Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes finished as the top-two quarterbacks on the week, while the main surprise was Mitch Trubisky who relied on garbage-time production to finish as QB-6. Robert Tonyan returned to relevance […]

Jakobi Meyers (WR, NE) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Jakobi Meyers might not be a WR1 in terms of fantasy performance, he--undoubtedly--is the Patriots WR1 these days. That doesn't mean he will always hit, much more considering New England has Cam Newton starting at quarterback. At least Meyers is getting […]

Julian Edelman Lands On COVID-19 List Monday

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman was placed on the COVID-19 list on Monday, which marks yet another setback for the veteran receiver during an injury riddled 2020. Players do not have to test positive for the virus to be placed on the list. Edelman's return to action has been clouded since being placed on […]

Sony Michel (RB, NE) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you have any clue about how the Patriots backfield will operate ROS, I'll be waiting for your call. Sony Michel was active this past Sunday, but he barely made it to the field playing just one snap and hitting the waiting list […]

Damiere Byrd Fails To Produce

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd predictable came back down to Earth against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12. Last week, he put together an incredible 132-yard performance, so it was unlikely that he'd keep that going here. He finished with three receptions on seven targets for 33 yards in the win. The Pats […]

Jakobi Meyers Rebounds Nicely In Week 12

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was able to put together a nice rebound performance in PPR formats. He hauled in five of his six targets for 52 yards in the Week 12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The Pats were unable to get much going on offense, so this was actually a solid […]

James White Scores Two Touchdowns

New England Patriots running back James White struggled on the ground, but gave fantasy owners a decent performance in Week 12. He rushed five times for 18 yards with two touchdowns in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. Damien Harris handled the lead back duties, but White was able to score the touchdowns in this […]

Damien Harris Struggles Against Cardinals

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris failed to get much going on the ground for the second week in a row. He rushed 14 times for 47 yards in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. It's surprising that the Pats were able to win this game despite how poorly they played on offense. Harris […]

Cam Newton Looks Horrible In Week 12

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton had by far his worst performance of the season in Week 12. He completed nine of 18 passing attempts for 84 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions. Newton also rushed nine times for 46 yards on the ground. Somehow, the Pats managed to come away with the victory, […]

Sony Michel Is Active For Week 12

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel was apparently a healthy scratch in Week 11 after coming off the Injured Reserve, but he's active for Week 12 against the Panthers. This is likely just the result of Rex Burkhead (knee) being out, and Michel won't see much work. It's possible his return cuts a little […]
