Odell Beckham, Randall Cobb - Week 4 Fantasy Dominators

Odell Beckham Jr. (at BUF) Pairing Odell Beckham Jr. with Eli Manning this week makes for a great combination in GPP formats. Beckham is the second most expensive WR on the board this week, but for good reason. So far this season, he has 19 receptions for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns. As I mentioned […]

Rashad Jennings, Lamar Miller - Players Showing Warning Signals

Lamar Miller, RB, Dolphins Lamar Miller is already likely stuck on your bench after a very disappointing start to the season. A favorite preseason breakout pick, Miller has not reached 55 rushing yards yet or received more than 13 carries in a game. Despite the fact that he was a third or fourth round pick for […]

Ryan Tannehill, Eli Manning - Week 4 QB Lineup Busts

Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins It’s hard to have faith in anyone on the massively disappointing Dolphins offense. Ryan Tannehill has turned the ball over four times already and has only scored in the 20s once this season. With this game being in London and the Jets defense holding fantasy QBs to an average of 9.2 […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Speaking of that DVOA stat, the Bills are 20th against #2 receivers versus being ranked 3rd best against #1 receivers. Now obviously I'm not saying Odell Beckham Jr. is a bad play, that guy is matchup-proof, but with Victor Cruz ailing again and the Giants being thin at wide receiver, Randle has to step up. […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 4: The Early Games

Week 4 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

We're back in the mines for Week 4 after an absolutely insane Week 3. Almost every stud and touted mid-range pick went off. I had friends texting me about how their safer cash game lineups would've won tournaments. The DraftKings Milly Maker winner had 301 points. Breathe. I should say that if you haven't yet, go […]

Victor Cruz Hurt Again, Continues to Disappoint Owners

Just when we thought Victor Cruz would be making his way back into the starting lineup for the New York Giants, we receive some bad news. Apparently the slot receiver aggravated his calf injury in practice on Wednesday. "Victor came out and tried to do individuals," coach Tom Coughlin said. "He felt the calf again […]

Victor Cruz (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

UPDATED at 2PM ET: Cruz's status is in doubt for Week 4. We have changed his status "Add in 12+ Team Leagues" to "Continue Stashing" BALLER MOVE: Continue Stashing OWNED IN: 73% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Now that Victor Cruz is medically cleared to play, we should see him suit up this week versus the Buffalo Bills. The big question is […]

Rueben Randle (NYG, WR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues (FAAB Bid: $6 - 9) OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Victor Cruz is reportedly coming back in Week 4, but this shouldn't really eat into Rueben Randle's fantasy potential moving forward. While most of you who watched Thursday Night Football this past week saw a lucky bounce lead to […]

Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks on the Giants' Radar

The New York Giants must not feel 100 percent comfortable with the fact that Victor Cruz is expected back for week 4. According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, the team has scheduled workouts with wide receivers Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks. It seems unlikely that the team would sign either man until they get to see […]

Thursday Night NFL Matchups Analysis: Week 3 Start/Sit for Fantasy Football

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team STD / All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 59% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If anyone has been watching the Giants games, the only competent player other than Odell Beckham Jr. is Shane Vereen. That is why I'm shocked to see that he is only 59% owned in fantasy leagues. Vereen should be owned in […]

New York Giants (DEF, NYG) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add as Week 3 Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington has been surprisingly not terrible since the start of the season. But it is, at it's heart, an incredibly under-staffed offense with a very turnover prone QB. Kirk Cousins has only been able to stay interception free in five of the 17 games he's […]

From 40 Seconds to Eternity: New York Giants Crap the Bed in Season Opener

We all have that one friend - that one obnoxious mofo who quotes stats in the form of insults and contentiously trolls haters on Twitter who throw shade at their precious team. We’re friends with him, but we seriously hate that guy to his very core and silently wish swamp flesh eating parasites get a hold […]

Back to tight ends, and the target expectations for them going into the 2015 season. Unlike the first five guys examined here in part one, we see that the back end of the top 10 tight end targets are less of a certainty and much more of a crapshoot. Such is the NFL as there […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 8-10 Current ADP: 84 STD ANALYSIS: Heading into his 12th season, Eli Manning may be surrounded by the best offensive cast of his career.

Rashad Jennings (RB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target In Eighth Round CURRENT ADP: Overall #84, RB #31 ANALYSIS: On the surface, it might appear that Jennings is too old, too brittle and in a backfield that's too crowded to trust him. Jennings is 30, a supposed age of decline for running backs, has never played 16 games in a season and […]

Three Underrated Fantasy Quarterbacks for 2015

While it may be tempting to go after big names like Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees or Peyton Manning, the draft price on these players will be very high.

Giants QB Eli Manning is an Easy Draft Steal

Eli Manning is currently ranked as the 12th best quarterback based on his ADP. He is being drafted behind the likes of Ryan Tannehill, Tom Brady, and Matt Ryan. Eli's draft position suggests he's just outside of most league's starting position but comes off the board as one of the first backup quarterbacks. Basically, Eli […]
