We've consumed our first "double-digit week" set of games. That means we've entered the final part of the season and, in fact, the fantasy football playoffs are closer than you may realize.

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 10

This series continues into its tenth 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 10, we saw performances such as the Houston Texans running backs combining for 54 rushing yards, Alex Smith throwing for 390 yards, and the Tennessee Titans […]

With 10 weeks down, many are heading towards the home stretch of our fantasy football regular season. Are you in must-win territory? You'd rather be in the playoffs with $0 than out of the dance entirely! With our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It was another one of those weeks where third-string tight ends were scoring touchdowns and All-Pro players were completely shut down. Just remember process > results when making your add/drop decisions. The waiver wire is more important in 2020 than ever. The players suggested here should be top priorities for early-week waiver claims; keep the […]

The Cut List (Week 11) - Time to Let Go?

I opened this column last week by lamenting the performance of my most cherished home-league fantasy team. The way things are going for me at the moment, I might just make that my weekly routine. In Week 10, I had Nick Chubb. I was facing Kyler Murray. One refused to score an easy touchdown. The […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

It is getting down to the nitty-gritty for fantasy football general managers this week. Yes, I said the NITTY-GRITTY! Week 11 is one of the most crucial weeks for fantasy footballers if they participate in leagues. This is when playoff spots are secured or flushed down the toilet. San Francisco’s George Kittle has left fantasy […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 11

Week 10 was a brutal affair for most fantasy squads, especially if you rely on production from the quarterback position. Only six quarterbacks surpassed 300 yards passing on the week, and of those only three had more than one passing touchdown. As a whole, only three quarterbacks were able to throw for at least three […]

Giants Putting Graham Gano On COVID-19 List

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano will be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for coronavirus on Tuesday. Two staff members were identified as high-risk close contacts. Gano is expected to miss some practice but play in the team's Week 12 game against the Bengals. They have their bye in Week 11. Gano […]

Week 10 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 10 was fairly low scoring and it seemed like we saw a lot of touchdowns scored by low-end guys such as Willie Snead, DaeSean Hamilton, Cameron Brate and Rex Burkhead. Tom Brady led the week at quarterback while Kyler Murray and Josh Allen rounded out the top-three. Tight end was extremely rough this week […]

Sterling Shepard Catches All Six Targets On Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught all six of his targets for 47 yards in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. Shepard has now been targeted six times or more in all four games since returning from a toe injury. Shepard has the most consistent role in this offense and is the […]

Golden Tate Makes Two Catches In Win Over Eagles

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate caught two-of-five targets for 44 yards in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. Tate was playing in his first game since he landed in hot water for social media posts by him and his wife criticizing Tate's role in the offense, among other things. The five targets, […]

Darius Slayton Records 93 Yards Versus Eagles

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton made five catches for 93 yards in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. It was a nice bounce-back performance for fantasy managers after Slayton was targeted just once last week. Slayton saw seven targets in this game to lead the team. He's gone invisible at times, but […]

Evan Engram Regresses With Just Two Catches

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram put up a dud for fantasy managers in Week 10 catching just two passes for 15 yards. The Ole Miss tight end had been rising up fantasy ranks with 29 targets over the last three games, but Engram saw just three passes from Daniel Jones in this game. […]

Giants Defense Quiet Versus Philadelphia

The New York Giants Defense had a quiet afternoon in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. New York allowed 17 points and recorded three sacks, but did not force a turnover in the contest. The unit played well overall with cornerback James Bradberry turning in another strong effort, but it didn't materialize into many […]

Graham Gano Signs Three-Year Extension

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano signed a three-year extension worth $14 million on Sunday. Gano has been fantastic for the Giants this year, hitting 21 of his 22 field goal attempts. The 33-year-old Gano is in his first year with the Giants after spending seven years with the Carolina Panthers. In the right matchups, […]

Alfred Morris Rushes For 34 Yards

New York Giants running back Alfred Morris rushed eight times for 34 yards in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. Morris has been used as a change-of-pace back to rest starter Wayne Gallman, but can't be trusted in fantasy playing second-fiddle in this backfield. Gallman scored two touchdowns with QB Daniel Jones also rushing […]

Wayne Gallman Finds End Zone Twice In Week 10

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman handled 18 carries for 53 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. Gallman added one catch for seven yards in the passing game. With Devonta Freeman (foot) on injured reserve, Gallman should continue to serve as the lead-back after the team's Week 11 […]

Daniel Jones Efficient In Win Versus Eagles

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 21 passes on 28 attempts for 244 scoreless yards in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. Jones made a bigger fantasy impact with his legs rushing nine times for 64 yards and a touchdown. Most importantly, Jones protected the football playing his second-straight turnover-free game after turning […]

Darius Slayton Returns To Game

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton exited in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a shoulder injury, but has returned to the game. It's possible that Slayton will be below 100 percent for the rest of this one, lowering his ceiling and potentially giving more opportunities to Sterling Shepard […]

Golden Tate Active, Dante Pettis Inactive

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is active for Sunday's meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Considering Tate missed last game due to a team suspension, we aren't expecting a ton from him this week. He hasn't seen five targets since Week 5 and is a touchdown-dependent play this week. Recently acquired receiver Dante Pettis […]

Week 10 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9 saw the surprise return of some of the league's previously dominant defenses playing up to past form.
