Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 3

This series continues into its third 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. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge of how each team's play-caller historically operates and compiled data to help make informed decisions throughout the regular season as […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 3's Studs Turned Duds

The NFL was low on studs in Week 3. The top two players in fantasy, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley, were both out injured. Three of the top wide receivers in football, Julio Jones, Davante Adams, and Michael Thomas, were all out as well. We also were without the second-best tight end in the game […]

FAB Bidding - Week 4 Waiver Wire Targets

It's time for our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, the column that focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB). In case you were not aware, several fantasy sports platforms are switching from FAAB to FAB in […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

This is the week the rookie receivers emerged in 2020. Justin Jefferson exploded for 7-175-1 and finally gives the Vikings a viable option behind Adam Thielen. Brandon Aiyuk looks like he could be the answer to San Francisco's WR injury woes by living up to his first-round status. Gabriel Davis took advantage of John Brown's […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

With many of us still reeling from the injury-filled Week 2, we were faced with further injuries to Chris Carson (knee), Dallas Goedert (ankle), DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Jordan Reed (ankle/knee), Russell Gage (head), Diontae Johnson (possible concussion), John Brown (calf), Tarik Cohen (knee), Michael Pittman Jr. (ankle), Chris Godwin (hamstring), and Mike Williams (hamstring). Take […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

The tight end pickings are starting to get slimmer on fantasy football waiver wires. While we are still a week away from being on bye, fantasy general managers are still probably going to be missing some of their tight ends heading into Week 4. San Francisco’s George Kittle and Jordan Reed and Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 4

The NFL season is moving along and so are fantasy seasons. This season has been filled with more injuries than anticipated, unfortunately leaving many teams and fantasy squads to test their depth. Through three weeks, guys like Chris Godwin, Christian McCaffrey, and Saquon Barkley have hardly made much of a fantasy impact. As we go […]

Week 3 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 3 was a wild one in the NFL with several key players going down with injuries and a few shootouts going down. The quarterback position was fairly stable with Russell Wilson, Josh Allen and Dak Prescott finishing as the top-three producers at the position. Tight end on the other hand was an absolute disaster […]

Giants Add Alfred Morris To Practice Squad

The New York Giants have inked veteran running back Alfred Morris to the team’s practice squad in a continued attempt to bolster their backfield situation in light of Saquon Barkley’s (knee) season-ending injury. Morris last appeared in 2019 in one game for the Cardinals, receiving just one carry for four yards. His best days came […]

The Cut List (Week 4) - Time to Let Go?

Thankfully, Week 3 was a much more forgiving week for injury news than Week 2. That doesn’t mean you stay put with your existing roster though – unless you’re sitting pretty at 3-0 and you don’t have any of the players appearing on this list. If that's the case, I suppose you can stay with […]

Monday Night Football Starts and Sits: Week 3 Matchup Analysis

If you're reading this, your fantasy team was probably impacted by a significant injury during week 2. It was a bloodbath in the fantasy streets, especially for a lot of player's popular early-round selections. Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Davante Adams, Raheem Mostert, and Courtland Sutton all face injuries that put their week 3 in doubt, […]

Jabrill Peppers Dealing With Low Ankle Sprain

New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers (ankle), who limped off the field in pain in the Week 3 loss to the 49ers, is believed to have suffered a low ankle sprain, according to a source. The injury looked bad on Sunday, but it appeared worse than it is. Julian Love replaced Peppers in the secondary […]

Completed Air Yards Over Expectation - Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers

If you play fantasy football, you know your great deal of statistics and metrics. At the end of the day, we need some way to measure production. While the basic numbers (targets, receptions, yards,...) are often enough to give us a solid idea of what we're dealing with, the truth is that the deeper we […]

Golden Tate Puts Up Five Catches At Cleveland

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate made five catches for 36 yards in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Tate had seven targets which tied Darius Slayton for the team lead. He had five catches in each of the two games he's played, but he has just 83 yards combined. New York has […]

Golden Tate Puts Up Five Catches For Second-Straight Week

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate made five catches for 36 yards in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Tate had seven targets which tied Darius Slayton for the team lead. He had five catches in each of the two games he's played, but he has just 83 yards combined. New York has […]

Darius Slayton Paces Giants Receiving Core In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught three passes on seven targets for 53 yards in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Slayton led the Giants in receiving yards and was tied with Golden Tate for the team lead in targets. Slayton had a huge game in Week 1, but has not found […]

Giants Defense Shredded By 49ers

The New York Giants Defense was torn apart by backup quarterback Nick Mullens and the rest of the 49ers offense en route to a 36-9 beatdown in MetLife Stadium. They sacked Mullens only twice and were not able to force a turnover. New York has another tough matchup in Week 4 at the Rams and […]

Dion Lewis Has Just Two Touches In Week 3

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis had just one carry for no yards and one catch for 10 yards in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday. None of the Giants running backs could get going in this one, but it was discouraging for fantasy to see Lewis so sparsely used. No Giants running […]

Evan Engram Ineffective Again In Week 3

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram had another disappointing stat-line in Week 3 versus the 49ers. Engram caught just three passes for 22 scoreless yards on five targets. The New York offense sputtered most of the afternoon and at this point it's hard to trust anyone in the offense. Engram has just 11 catches […]

Wayne Gallman Sees Four Carries In Week 3

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman ran for seven yards on four carries in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Gallman added seven yards on two receptions. Gallman was a healthy scratch before Saquon Barkley (knee) was injured in Week 2 and the team signed Devonta Freeman, so Gallman wasn't expected to carry […]

Devonta Freeman Falls Flat In Big Blue Debut

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman rushed for 10 yards on five carries in his first game with the team. Freeman was not targeted in the passing game. The small silver-lining for fantasy managers is Freeman's five carries was tied for the team lead, but New York was not able to run the ball […]

Daniel Jones Puts Up Another Disappointing Week

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had another disappointing game Sunday in a blowout loss to the 49ers. Jones completed just over 50-percent of his passes, 17-for-32, and threw one interception without throwing a touchdown. Jones added 49 rushing yards on five carries, but also lost a fumble. Jones hasn't thrown a touchdown for two-straight […]

Devonta Freeman Will Make Giants Debut Sunday

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman was just signed this week, but he'll officially be active for Sunday's meeting with a banged-up 49ers Defense. Freeman's a risky fantasy option for this week as he works his way into being part of a new team, but at some point this season, Freeman's going to be […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 3 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 2 was chaotic, to say the least. Although some players were lucky to avoid being seriously injured last Sunday, others weren't so fortunate as Saquon Barkley, Nick Bosa, and Courtland Sutton will miss the remainder of the year. While those injuries alone are discouraging enough, there are also a ton of notable players who […]
