Kadarius Toney Practices On Thursday
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney was not on the injury report on Thursday and should play in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie has had a very up-and-down season (he collected 54 percent of his yards in just one game), but he remains an intriguing option nevertheless. Toney is one […]
Devontae Booker Logs Limited Practice
New York Giants running back Devontae Booker (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday. In Weeks 7-10, the backup has done a fine job filling in for Saquon Barkley in his absence, placing at RB20, just one spot behind Aaron Jones. However, now that Barkley seems to be returning and Booker is dealing with an […]
Saquon Barkley Limited In Practice
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday and the Giants have seen good things from him coming out of their bye week. The superstar was originally thought to be on track for a quick return, but his ankle's swelling has taken longer than expected to heal. Now, however, […]
Sterling Shepard Doesn't Participate In Practice
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quad) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Shepard started the season hot with 28 receptions and 299 yards in his first four games; unfortunately, since then, his season has been derailed by injuries. The wideout has been bothered by this quad injury for quite some time, and […]
Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 10
The Bucs came out flat after a bye and lost to the Washington Football Team, Cam Newton beat the league's best team, the Seahawks did not score a point in Russell Wilson's return, and the Steelers and Lions played to a tie. It was another strange week in the NFL. A lot of data was […]

Trade deadlines in fantasy leagues are fast approaching, so it may be the last opportunity to improve your team without relying on waivers.

Fantasy football’s regular season is past the halfway mark and headed for home! Fantasy football managers will be without Denver’s Noah Fant and Los Angeles’ Tyler Higbee at tight end this week due to their teams being on bye.

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 11: Cam Newton, Mac Jones, Justin Fields, Tua Tagovailoa
For the second consecutive week, NFL teams struggled on offense leading to underwhelming fantasy scores. Only five teams (Dallas, New England, Buffalo, Carolina, and Philadelphia) found a way to score at least 30 points in their games. Conversely, five teams failed to score more than 20 points on offense, including an explosive Seattle offense that […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round
We're in the thick of November and those playoff pictures are starting to take shape, leaving us with a narrowing band of potential paths to the top. Week 10 was another underwhelming week and the biggest injury thus far has been Aaron Jones, though A.J. Dillon is rostered in three-fourths of leagues already. Perhaps you're […]
Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?
The quarterback position was much more predictable in Week 10 than Week 9 as Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott and Josh Allen finished as the top-three at the position. Jalen Hurts bounced back after a few poor performances to finish as QB-6 and Mac Jones threw for three touchdowns against the Browns to finish as QB-5. […]
Devontae Booker, Sterling Shepard Absent In Monday's Practice
New York Giants running back Devontae Booker (hip) and Sterling Shepard (quad) did not participate in Monday's practice. Booker was absent due to a personal matter while Shepard worked on the side with the trainers. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but both players will have an extra day to practice during the […]
Saquon Barkley Nearing A Return?
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was seen cutting during workouts on Monday and was able to do all of the individual drills in practice.

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 10
Welcome to Week 10 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. As the season progresses, the chart becomes more predictive. Last week the chart was particularly effective in terms of downgrading WRs who would go on to disappoint. Amari Cooper was a chalky play in DFS, but the chart did not like his matchup. He had a […]
Week 10 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
If we thought Week 8 had some weird moments, we were not at all prepared for the wackiness of Week 9. At multiple times during the 1 PM games, I was watching a game or checking scores and thinking: Let's do a quick rundown: the Bills lost to the Jaguars. The Cowboys got embarrassed by […]
Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 10
The push for the playoffs starts this week for millions of fantasy football general managers – unless your team is the Detroit Lions of your league. Four more teams are on bye this week, so the player pool is thinner than a Slim Jim. If one of your superstar starters might not play this week […]
Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 10
As usual, the wide receiver matchup article from last week had some solid recommendations along with a few letdowns, but given the wild week that was Week 9, things went alright for the most part. Ja'Marr Chase (WR-49) was the biggest disappointment of the week, seeing 13 targets but catching just six of them for […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?
Week 9 was one of the wildest weeks we've had for fantasy football in quite some time. Matt Ryan came off a very disappointing performance in Week 8, only to crush the stingy Saints defense to finish as QB-3, while Carson Wentz and Josh Johnson finished as top-five options in a Thursday night game that […]

Giants Waive Sam Beal Tuesday
The New York Giants waived rookie defensive back Sam Beal on Tuesday. Beal played just one defensive snap in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and played in just nine games over four seasons with the team after he was taken in the third round of the 2018 supplemental draft out of […]
