Golden Tate Expected To Play Against Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is expected to play against the Bears on Sunday. Tate was listed as questionable after missing Week 1 and practicing in limited fashion all week, but he is believed to be at full strength for a tilt with Chicago's defense. This defense isn't as feared as it […]

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books and some major curveballs were definitely thrown our way. On the positive side, D.K.

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 2 Lineups

The first week of the 2020 NFL season was definitely a wild ride to begin the season. Things seemed to fall off the rails rather early in the week with player injuries and continued to be a guessing game from that point forward. With upper-echelon fantasy players like Miles Sanders and Kenny Golladay being out […]

Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 2

With so much roster turnover in the NFL each year, it can be especially difficult to predict outcomes in opening-week matchups. With last season’s data being the latest available, it has to be weighed against the perceived impact of roster and coaching changes. This is often an exercise in futility in what is a wildly […]

Week 2 DFS GPP Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel

Its Week 2 of the NFL season and time for everyone to overreact/ignore what happened in week one! My chalk stack hit easily, no surprise. To be transparent, my sneaky stack fell flat. However, if you went with Darius Slayton from my contrarian stack you were pretty happy. But I'm not here to gloat or […]

Sterling Shepard Looking to Stay Involved In Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Sheppard was a big part of the Giants offense in Week 1 and will look to carry that momentum into a road game vs the Bears. Shepard caught all six of his targets for 47 yards as he was the primary short-area target for Daniel Jones. If Golden Tate […]

Darius Slayton Looking To Keep Momentum Versus Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a huge game in Week 1 going for 100-plus yards and two touchdowns on six catches. Slayton tied with Saquon Barkley for the team lead with nine targets and will look to stay hot in a favorable matchup with the Bears in Week 2. Slayton had a […]

Giants Defense Not In Play For Week 2

The New York Giants Defense is not a strong unit for fantasy and managers should look elsewhere for a D/ST in Week 2. The Giants had just two sacks in Week 1 and only forced one turnover from a forced fumble. New York was gashed on the ground by Benny Snell Jr last week so […]

Evan Engram Still A Viable Starter In Fantasy

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was a massive letdown for fantasy managers on Monday night as he caught just two passes for nine yards vs Pittsburgh. He'll have an easier matchup in Week 2 vs the Bears and should still be considered a starting tight end for fantasy. Engram struggled in Week 1 […]

Daniel Jones Has A Better Matchup In Week 2

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled somewhat in Week 1 as he turned the ball over twice, but he also had some encouraging throws and will face an easier matchup in Week 2 at Chicago. The Bears secondary was carved-up by Matthew Stafford last week despite missing his top wide receiver so expect a […]

Saquon Barkley Looking To Bounce-Back Versus Bears

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley left fantasy managers out in the cold on Monday night as he ran for just six yards on 15 carries vs a stout Steelers Defense. He'll look to atone for that performance in Week 2 with a much more favorable matchup in Chicago. The Bears allowed the ageless […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets and Avoids

A full Sunday slate of football, watching the Red Zone channel, and not having to change the channel finally felt like a return to normalcy. What felt even more normal was Phillip Rivers throwing a late-game interception, the Lions losing in heartbreaking fashion, the Broncos losing yet another close one, and Baker Mayfield looking lost. My […]

Week 2 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 is in the books. We saw big upsets, and we saw some teams just steamroll their opponents into the ground. One thing that remained true in every game was that kickers still matter.  Our top scorers from Week 1 was Green Bay Packers’ kicker Mason Crosby and Josh Lambo of the Jacksonville Jaguars. […]

Golden Tate Questionable Against Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bears. Tate sat out in Week 1 against the Steelers, but he was much more active in practice on Friday than he was last week. Even if the 32-year-old plays this weekend, there are likely better flex options […]

Re-Shaping NFL Depth Charts with Week 1 Snap Count Data

A common complaint heading into Week 1 was that some NFL teams had posted depth charts that felt a little...off. Some teams didn't have 11 starters. Some had guys who we knew were in for big roles not listed as starters. Things were not clear. After one week of actual play, we have a clearer […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell: Week 2

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

Week 1 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 1, the quarterback position was rather stable as Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray finished inside the top-five. Through Sunday's games, Gardner Minshew II finished as QB12 which surprised most, while Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes underwhelmed just a little, finishing as QB2's. Tight end was a little […]

Disaster Recovery - Stud Turned Dud

The first week of the NFL season is in the books. We weren't sure if the 2020 season would start on time. We weren't sure what the games would look or feel like. We still aren't sure if all 17 weeks will go ahead as planned and if the season will reach its normal conclusion. […]
