Howdy, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings front and center and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR).  Who am I and why should you care?

Week 10 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 10 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) has been officially listed as questionable on the Patriots injury report in Week 10.

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 10

Fantasy footballers are going to have to live without some things this upcoming week. Fantasy football owners will not get a 100-yard receiving game out of Minnesota’s Adam Thielen, a touchdown toss from Houston’s Deshaun Watson, or a sack out courtesy of Denver’s Von Miller this week. That is because those fantasy superstars’ teams are […]

Rookie Running Back Overview, ROS Outlook

It's been said before and I'll say it again - rookie running backs can play a very significant role when it comes to fantasy fortunes. Kareem Hunt (2017) and Ezekiel Elliot (2016) are the recent examples, while the Saquon Barkley breakout of 2018 has taken absolutely no one by surprise. Prior to this season, I […]

Rob Gronkowski Practicing But Will Be Risky Week 10 Play

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is back on the practice field this week as the team prepares to play the Titans in Week 10. Gronkowski has been nursing an ankle injury and simply has not looked like himself this season. He will go up against a Titans defense that has allowed the fewest […]

Chris Hogan's Struggles Sinking His Fantasy Value

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan will try and get back in the mix in Week 10 after failing to catch a pass last week against the Packers.

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 9

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Rex Burkhead Back At Practice

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (neck) returned to practice on Thursday and is now eligible to come off the Injured Reserve and play on Dec. 2 against the Vikings. That would be in Week 13, a week before the traditional fantasy playoffs begin. While it's unclear if Burkhead will actually be back by […]

Is Lamar Miller Back to Fantasy RB2 Status?

I've been accused of being a Lamar Miller apologist over the last few seasons. Some of it is warranted, some of it way off-base. The crux of my pro-Miller argument has always been that you don't always need razzle-dazzle from the running back position. Sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to just be a consistent source of […]

Sony Michel Has Tough Test If He Is Active In Week 10

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (knee) was on the practice field Wednesday in hopes of returning to the lineup in Week 10 after missing two games. Before the injury, the rookie had enjoyed a three-game stretch where he posted 316 rushing yards and four touchdowns. His status will have to be monitored throughout […]

Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Gronkowski hasn't found the end zone or gone over 100 yards since the season opener and injuries continue to be an issue, as he's missed two of the last three games. Owners […]

James White A Must-Start Despite Matchup

New England Patriots running back James White looks to continue the best season of his career in Week 10 against the Titans. White has racked up 766 yards from scrimmage this season with 61 receptions and 10 touchdowns. He has scored in seven out of his nine games played this season but will have tough […]

Tom Brady Has Stingy Matchup Against Titans

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will face a stiff Titans defense in Week 10. Tennessee is allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season and have not allowed a single passer to throw for more than two touchdowns against them. Brady is having a fantastic season but, from a fantasy perspective, […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Duke Johnson Is Fantasy-Relevant Once Again

I was facing a dilemma in one of my fantasy leagues last week with Patriots rookie Sony Michel (knee) questionable to play in the Sunday night game. Should I risk rolling with him and then possibly having to pick up Cordarrelle Patterson or Jamaal Williams at the last minute if Michel was inactive? My other […]

Sony Michel Likely To Return In Week 10

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee), who has missed the last two games with a sprained MCL, is likely to return and play in Week 10 against the Titans, according to a source. However, he'll need a good week of practice without any setbacks in order to be cleared. Keep a close […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As the season rolls on, the kicker position is always a tough one to gauge. There are so few players locked in as starters that you sometimes have to hope you get lucky.

New England Patriots running back James White caught six passes for 72 yards while adding 31 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in the Patriots 31-17 win over the Packers. White now has six games of 80 yards from scrimmage or more this season and has 10 total touchdowns. He left the action briefly in […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Emerges With 67 Rushing Yards

New England Patriots wide receiver/running back Cordarrelle Patterson stepped up among a thin Patriots backfield to rush the ball 11 times for 61 yards and one touchdown in Week 9. The Patriots were already down rookie runner Sony Michel to start the game but veteran James White appeared to tweak something in the first half. Enter […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon caught five passes for 130 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown to seal the Patriots 31-17 win over the Packers.
