FAAB Bidding - Week 10 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Like it or not, you are probably going to have to dip your toe into the waiver wire this week because there are six teams on bye. Some shouldn't affect your roster in any way (Broncos, Redskins) while others could force you to stream at one or more positions (Texans, Patriots). There is always help […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 10

It was another big week for quarterbacks around the league, as five signal callers topped the 30-point mark once again. Many of the usual suspects were up there, such as Russell Wilson and Lamar Jackson, but we also got a few surprises from unheralded quarterbacks. It's a pretty big week for byes, as six teams […]

Sterling Shepard's Situation Is Serious

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur called wide receiver Sterling Shepard's (concussion) head injury and lingering symptoms "a serious injury." Shurmur wouldn't say if the team is considering shutting Shepard down for the rest of the season, but it sounds like it's a possibility. Shepard already has two concussions this year and was cleared […]

Evan Engram Dealing With Sore Foot

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) is dealing with a sore foot after the Monday night loss to the Cowboys. The Giants will monitor him this week, so don't be surprised if he's limited or rested in practice early in the week. Engram had over 100 yards and a touchdown in two of […]

Week 9 Surprises? We Must Overreact

In Week 9 several high-end players had exploitable matchups and came through in a big way. Mike Evans, Tyler Lockett, and D.K. Metcalf were all expected to have big games, and all three finished in the top three in PPR scoring. At running back, David Montgomery scored two touchdowns as he continues to emerge as […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Welcome to the Darius Slayton Show, folks. Now if you can, give me a better line than that Slayton just put up against Detroit in his Week 9 matchup: two receptions, 50 yards, two touchdowns. Uh oh, that’s producing when production is needed, […]

Bennie Fowler Makes An Appearance On Monday Night

New York Giants wide receiver Bennie Fowler caught three passes for 22 yards on Monday night. Almost all of this was in garbage time, so there’s nothing much to read into this. He’s not rosterable in any size league.

Giants Defense Eventually Breaks Versus Cowboys

The New York Giants played the Cowboys tight for much of the game on Monday. Despite giving up 5.7 yards per carry, they had picked Dak Prescott off and not given up any big plays until midway through the third quarter. At that point, the Giants’ lack of pass rush against the Cowboys elite offensive […]

Aldrick Rosas Leads The Giants In Scoring On Monday

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas was the beneficiary of the Giants’ conservative playcalling on Monday night. The former Pro Bowler made all four of his field goal attempts, but none of them were from longer than 29 yards. The Giants inexplicably refused to take shots in the end zone despite coming into the game […]

Darius Slayton Goes M.I.A. On Monday Night

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton let down fantasy owners on Monday with only one catch for six yards. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out, it was assumed that Slayton would operate as the team’s deep threat. The only problem is that the Giants refused to challenge the Cowboys deep. If Shepard continues to miss time, […]

Cody Latimer Catches Touchdown In Loss

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer found the end zone on Monday night after he was left wide open for a one-yard touchdown catch in the first half. However, he finished the night with only eight yards on two catches. Latimer is not an option in any size league right now. This was simply […]

Golden Tate Quiet On Monday Night

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate was another Giant with a quiet performance on Monday night. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out, many people assumed Tate would be a feature in the Giants offense. Instead, he saw only six targets, catching all six of them for 42 yards, while adding 16 yards on one carry. […]

Evan Engram Has Another Slow Game

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was silent again on Monday. Ever since Engram has come back from his MCL injury, he just hasn’t been as productive. He finished the loss to Dallas with six catches for 48 yards on eight targets. Much of his lack of high-end success can be attributed to Daniel […]

Saquon Barkley Barely Avoids Career-Worst Game

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley disappointed for the second straight week. After a subpar game against the Lions, apart from one phenomenal run, Barkley ended Monday night’s game with 28 yards rushing on two yards per carry while adding 67 yards on six catches, most of which came when the game was out […]

Daniel Jones Underwhelms In Primetime

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was the victim of his team’s conservative play-calling on Monday night. Despite being in advantageous situations multiple times, Jones and the Giants turned to short passes and seemed unwilling to take shots down the field. As a result, the rookie totaled 5.1 yards per completion en route to 210 […]

Wide Receiver / Cornerback Matchups To Target in Week 9

In Week 8, the only unfamiliar faces to crack the top 15 at the wide receiver position were Chris Conley and Hunter Renfrow. Conley's big day came because Dede Westbrook was in and out of the game as he struggled with a shoulder injury, resulting in more targets heading Conley's way. Renfrow was fantasy-relevant because he […]
