Should I Start Davante Adams in Week 9? Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Advice

Fantasy managers, I can guarantee you that Davante Adams shares the same frustrations you have with his recent play. Multiple times on Monday Night Football, the All-Pro wideout was missed when he was wide open or Jimmy Garoppolo took a sack before he could even miss the throw. Monday night's disaster was the last straw […]

Should I Pick Up and Start Derek Carr in Week 9? Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks

Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints may be simpatico after all.

Should I Pick Up Trey McBride? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

It's a risky proclamation, but the tight end position may be uncharacteristically deep right now. A number of key injuries have propelled younger players into premier roles.

Should I Pick Up Taysom Hill? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

The New Orleans Saints' offense boasts high-profile names like Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, and Derek Carr. Kamara has been great but the other star of the show hasn't been the receivers or Carr.

Tommy DeVito Throws For Negative Yardage

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito was thrust into action in the first half with the injury to Tyrod Taylor (ribs) but the Giants' coaching staff clearly didn't trust the undrafted rookie to throw downfield.

Saquon Barkley Tallies 39 Touches Against The Jets

Should I Start Chuba Hubbard in Week 8? Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks

25 million dollars across four years is a pretty penny for a running back averaging just over three yards per carry on the season.

Giants DST A Decent Streaming Option In Week 8

Wan’Dale Robinson Not Considered A Flex Option In Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is coming off his worst game of the 2023 season. The sophomore caught just one of two targets for 22 yards against Washington.

Darius Slayton A Wide Receiver To Avoid In Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is a mainstay in the Giants' offense, lining up at wideout for over 80 percent of snaps in five out of seven games.
