Week 2 Lineup Questions - Fantasy Football Pop Quiz

I tend to abide by a pretty simple rule when it comes to drafting players; unless something is unexpectedly wrong with them, I don't make a lot of shifts between Weeks 1 and 2 (or through Week 3, for that matter.) If you drafted Mike Williams and he didn't get as much target share as […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks

I'm an introspective type of fellow, so in preparation for this season's first edition of Heroes and Zeroes (don't look for Week 1, it's in the clouds somewhere along with the missing episode of South Park), I decided to look back at some of last season's articles when I stumbled across this intro to a […]

Running Back Touch Breakdown - Week 1 Recap

Anytime I start a new project, I’m filled with so much excitement it’s hard not to start just dumping data on Twitter and sharing it with the world. That is how I have felt with this project for several weeks now. One thing I have always loved is collecting data on running backs. I truly […]

Wide Receiver Targets and Snaps - Week 1 Report

After spending months, weeks, and days subtracting the amount of time that remained until the regular season, we have now shifted focus toward adding numbers instead. This applies to the weekly variances in how many opportunities your wide receivers are being allotted, both in terms of their snap count and in how many targets they […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 2

One week down, 16 more weeks of under-the-radar booms and busts to go! My opening week of boom/bust predictions was as uneven as Eminem’s new album. While James White and Ted Ginn made me look like I may know a thing or two, DeSean Jackson ruined everything by posting a 5-146-2 line that made me […]

Inside the Tent - Week 2 NFL Injury Insight

Well, well, well, Week 1 sure was a whirlwind. If the entire 2018 season is anything like Week 1, we're in for a good one ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, some fantasy-relevant players were banged up and fantasy owners suffered as a result. With that being said, if the season is indeed like Week 1, then […]

Dak Prescott - Patience Is a Virtue

Let me make one thing clear before we get into this: I am a New York Football Giants fan. When I bleed, only half of my blood reacts to the oxygen and turns red. The other half remains blue. (Blood actually is never blue, and the whole oxygen changing blood from blue to red thing […]

Week 2 Consistency Report

Finding consistency in fantasy sports is hugely important if you want to have a shot at winning your leagues. Players with high variability week-to-week have their purpose, but if you rely too much on them you are going to find yourself frustrated some weeks. If fantasy football had roto style leagues like baseball, or you […]

The New Generation of Tight Ends

In Week 1 every year, there seems to be a new wave of players that no one has heard of before, making a splash for their team and immediately becoming relevant in the world of fantasy football. Finding that next waiver pickup or sleeper a week before the rest of your league is a great […]

Wide Receiver Depth Chart Changes - Week 2

There are a number of reasons for wide receiver depth chart changes, and they aren’t always neat and logical. However, after Week 1 things did break down fairly easily in terms of moves up and down depth charts. As a result, the analysis in this article will be broken into three major sections. First, is […]

Corey Davis Good To Go

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the Week 2 injury report against the Texans. Davis was heavily targeted in the Week 1 loss and should be again this weekend. However, he must be downgraded slightly with quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) ailing and expected to cede […]

Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin Both Out

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) and right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's never good news when both your left and right tackles are out, especially when they are as good as both Lewan and Conklin. It's […]

Marcus Mariota, Blaine Gabbert Could Both Play

Tennessee Titans quarterbacks Marcus Mariota (elbow) and Blaine Gabbert are both expected to see playing time in Week 2 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. It's a curious strategy with Mariota fighting an elbow injury, but it doesn't seem like a winning one. Mariota was a bottom-of-the-barrel QB2 in two-QB leagues to […]

Jonnu Smith Set To Start In Week 2

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith is set to start in place of the injured Delanie Walker against the Houston Texans in Week 2. Smith has been productive in limited use and is very athletic, but he is not likely to replace the production of Walker going forward. Smith is definitely a viable streamer at […]

Corey Davis Limited In Practice Going Into Week 2

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was limited in Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury, according to Jim Wyatt. Davis battled a hamstring injury in the preseason and last season as well, making this news a little more concerning for fantasy owners. Davis denied that the hamstring was any issue, stating, "I'm good. My hamstring […]

Dion Lewis Looking To Build On Strong Week 1 Outing

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis played very well in Week 1, finishing with 110 total yards and a touchdown. Lewis was clearly a focal point in the offense as he out-snapped Derrick Henry 49 to 20. While it is unlikely for Lewis to continue seeing this volume of work, he is obviously more to […]

Derrick Henry Looking To Bounce Back In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was unable to get much going in Week 1 aside from a long touchdown which was called back, finishing with only 26 yards on 10 carries. Henry was the first one to admit that he was not happy with his play against the Miami Dolphins, stating, "I feel like […]

Marcus Mariota A Shaky Option In Week 2

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) was limited in Thursday's practice, leaving his status for the Week 2 matchup with Houston uncertain. Head coach Mike Vrabel has insisted that he is still optimistic that Mariota will be able to play on Sunday, but it is looking like it might be a game-time decision. Even if […]

Jack Conklin, Taylor Lewan Miss Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans offensive tackles Jack Conklin (knee) and Taylor Lewan (concussion) both missed practice on Thursday. Conklin was limited on Wednesday, so this isn't a good sign for his status heading into Week 2 against the Texans. The Titans offensive line is in bad shape if they miss their left and right tackles this weekend. […]

Corey Davis Says He's Fine

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) said he's fine heading into Week 2 against the Texans. Davis should be fine to play this Sunday against Houston. He's not the sexiest fantasy weapon in a run-first offense, but keep in mind that he was targeted 13 times in Week 1 and caught six passes for […]

Titans Sign MyCole Pruitt

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent tight end MyCole Pruitt to help bolster their tight end depth with Delanie Walker (ankle) lost for the season. Pruitt was signed off the Texans practice squad this week and will fill in behind Jonnu Smith, Luke Stocker and Anthony Firkser. MyCole has 12 catches for 122 yards in 21 […]

Jonnu Smith To See More Opportunities

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith is expected to see plenty more opportunities with Delanie Walker (ankle) out for the season. Smith played 40 snaps in Week 1 against the Dolphins and had one catch for 12 yards on three targets. He should see a lot of looks on short and intermediate routes. Wide receiver […]

Corey Davis Gets In Limited Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday. This shouldn't be an injury that keeps Davis from playing in Week 2 against the Texans unless he makes it worse this week in practice. The 23-year-old had six catches on 13 targets for 62 yards in the season opener. With tight end […]

Taylor Lewan Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday and was sent home and told to rest by the medical staff. That's not a good sign for the team's top offensive lineman heading into a matchup against a Texans team with a strong pass rush. Quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is also dealing […]

Marcus Mariota Should Play In Week 2

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) practiced on Wednesday and is "feeling good," according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Barring a setback, Mariota should be good to go for Week 2 against the Texans. How productive he'll be if he plays is an entirely different story. The Titans are dealing with injuries to their two […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, CLE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor is a top add of the week regardless of format. Taylor always got the short end of the stick in Buffalo from both a real-life perspective as well as fantasy. Yet he puts up solid production off the […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 2

As is tradition, Week 1 provided the usual head-scratching performances we've grown accustomed to start the year. Matthew Stafford looked discombobulated, the Amari Cooper rebound year did not get off to a good start, and LeSean McCoy looks hopeless in Buffalo. All these disappointments aside, we did end up with some positive takeaways. Here you'll find your […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Week 1 is in the books (almost) so now we know exactly what to expect from every player for the rest of the season, right? At the very least, we've witnessed some performances that surprised even the most ardent fantasy football owners and it's never too early to take action to improve your roster. In […]
