D'Andre Swift - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: D'Andre Swift has logged at least 17 touches in every game since taking over as the starter in Week 2. That's a tremendous baseline for any running back, but it's even better for one running behind a top-tier offensive line. The primary issue for the […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1/2 ANALYSIS: Brock Purdy isn't the most talented quarterback in the NFL, but with his weapons healthy, he can put up numbers comparable with Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, etc. Deebo Samuel and left tackle Trent Williams returned to the starting lineup against Jacksonville and […]

Andrew Ball 1 year agoGiants vs. Commanders Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 11 Picks for Tommy DeVito, Jahan Dotson, Logan Thomas, Brian Robinson Jr., more
There have been a lot of bad offenses over the years, but the New York Giants are up there with the worst of them. It's alarming to look up and down the offensive depth chart and see just one reliable fantasy football player. The Washington Commanders, despite also starting a quarterback with a low draft […]

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) picked up limited practice designations all week but is not on the final injury report heading into their matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoSterling Shepard Not a Viable Option In Week 11
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard drew a season-high in targets (four) in Week 10 against Dallas, converting his only catch into a short touchdown. Despite a marginal increase in activity, the veteran wideout needs to be nowhere near fantasy football rosters in any format. Shepard has just five catches on the entire season […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoDarius Slayton Continues To Deliver Lackluster Production
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton continues to play the majority of the wide receiver snaps as the G-Men head into their Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Unfortunately, it has coincided with very little production. The veteran's season-high marks sit at four catches and 69 yards. Against Washington in Week 7, he […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoJalin Hyatt Could See Deep-Ball Attempts Against Washington
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will be able to play against the Washington Commanders in Week 11.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoDaniel Bellinger Still Not A Worthy Streaming Candidate
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is coming off of a game where he led the team in receiving yards, but the total didn't send fantasy managers running to the waiver wire to pick him up. Bellinger caught just two passes for 34 yards. The Giants' aerial offense continued their abysmal play against Dallas. […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoSaquon Barkley The Only Giant Worth Starting Once Again
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is off of the injury report and ready to play Sunday against the Washington Commanders. He had logged limited practices all week.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoTommy DeVito Looking To Improve In Second Start
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito is getting the starting nod for the second consecutive game. This time, he gets to face the rival Washington Commanders in Maryland. It's a far easier matchup than the stout Dallas defense that DeVito had to face in Week 10. The Commanders' secondary allows the fourth-most passing yards per […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoRaiders vs. Dolphins Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 11 Picks for De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, Jakobi Meyers, Michael Mayer, more
The Las Vegas Raiders have beaten up the two teams from New York, but the Miami Dolphins are a completely different animal. Statistically, the Dolphins are the best offense in the league. Fall asleep on defense for one second and Tyreek Hill, De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, or Jaylen Waddle will make you pay. Their defense […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoChargers vs. Packers Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 11 Picks for Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Donald Parham Jr., AJ Dillon, more

Andrew Ball 1 year agoBears vs. Lions Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 11 Picks for D'Onta Foreman, Sam LaPorta, Cole Kmet, Justin Fields, more
Divisional games in the NFL are typically a gritty, knockdown, drag-out fight. Throw in a revenge game narrative and excitement over the matchup builds. David Montgomery gets to face off against the team that drafted him for the first time in his career. But running space made be hard to come by for backs on […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoShould I Drop Trevor Lawrence In Week 11 - Fantasy Football Quarterback Outlooks
In preseason fantasy football rankings, Trevor Lawrence was widely regarded as the eighth quarterback in the "Elite Eight" at the position. In reality, he's the QB18 through the first 10 weeks of the 2023 season. The former first-overall pick has scored a touchdown more than once in just two of his nine games, both against […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoIs Alexander Mattison Injured or Healthy - Fantasy Football Injury Update
Just one week after losing Cam Akers (Achilles) to a season-ending injury, the Minnesota Vikings are likely to be down another running back in Week 11. Alexander Mattison hasn't impressed the Minnesota coaches or fantasy managers who selected him as an RB2 in drafts this summer. It's definitely not frustrating at all to see "Alexander […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoAnthony Schwartz Signs With Miami Practice Squad
Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Anthony Schwartz is signing with the Miami Dolphins practice squad.

New York Giants tight end Lawrence Cager caught one of New York's two touchdowns in their 49-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoWeek 10 Fantasy Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dak Prescott, Gus Edwards, Keaton Mitchell, George Pickens, more
There are three types of people in this world: Those who continue to push their luck when they're on a heater, those who quit while they're ahead, and those who don't gamble at all. But if you're reading this article, you're probably not in that third group. So which of the first two are you? […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoGet-Right Spots For Running Backs: Can Najee Harris, Breece Hall, David Montgomery, Tony Pollard, Bijan Robinson Rebound In Week 10?
Bijan Robinson. Tony Pollard. Najee Harris. Breece Hall. David Montgomery. Some of these names are making fantasy managers shudder at the decisions they made on draft day. Robinson and Pollard were Round 1 or early Round 2 selections. Harris came off the board a couple of rounds later. All three have been largely disappointing as […]

The Chiefs, Dolphins, Eagles, and Rams are all on bye this week, creating a headache for fantasy managers scrambling to find replacements for their best players.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoMatt Breida Sparingly Used Heading Into Week 10
New York Giants running back Matt Breida has been relegated entirely to spelling starter Saquon Barkley whenever the latter needs a break. There are no plays or set packages lined up for the veteran. At this point in the season, Breida is simply insurance for Barkley managers in case of an injury. That's the only […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoDarius Slayton Looks To Lead Giants In Receiving Again
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton continues to dominate snap counts as an outside wide receiver, but his production doesn't excite fantasy football managers. Last week, Slayton led all New York receivers with 59 yards. That was his third-best mark of the season. Undrafted rookie quarterback Tommy Devito will be throwing passes once again, […]
