Andrew Ball 1 year agoAllen Lazard Held Without A Catch Against Buffalo
New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard did not secure his lone target against Buffalo, giving fantasy managers a goose egg in the team's 32-6 blowout loss. The output wasn't entirely Lazard's fault. Quarterback Zach Wilson completed less than half of his attempts for 81 yards before being benched in the second half. Backup Tim […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoQuentin Johnston Drops Potential Game-Winning TD Against Green Bay
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston made highlights for all the wrong reasons in the team's 23-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The first-round rookie caught just two of his six targets for 21 yards. His low point came with just 30 seconds left in the game. As Justin Herbert attempted to lead […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoBrandon Powell Logs Three Catches, Four Targets Against Denver
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Brandon Powell caught three of his four targets for 32 yards in the team's 21-20 defeat to the Denver Broncos. Powell has been a staple in the Minnesota offense in the absence of Justin Jefferson (hamstring), behind Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn. The 28-year-old has consistently earned 3-5 targets over that […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoJake Ferguson Loses Touchdown Streak Against Carolina
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson caught three passes for 32 yards but failed to find the end zone for the first time since Week 6. It was a disappointing output as fantasy managers have come to rely on a touchdown from the young tight end. However, Dak Prescott did not light up the box […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoBrandin Cooks Logs Just Three Catches, Leads Dallas In Receiving
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught three passes for 42 yards in the team's 33-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. It was a disappointment for fantasy managers as the veteran wideout was coming off of his best game as a Cowboy, but the entire offense cooled off from their recent explosions. Dak Prescott threw […]

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (arm) got loose for a 40-yard touchdown, his first of the season, to help propel the Giants past the Washington Commanders in Week 11.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoDaniel Bellinger Catches All Three Targets Against Washington
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in the team's 31-19 win over the Washington Commanders.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley racked up 14 carries for 83 yards and caught four passes for 57 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 31-19 win over the Washington Commanders.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoTommy DeVito Sparks New York's Offense, Throws Three Touchdowns
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 31-19 win over the Washington Commanders.

Andrew Ball 1 year agoWeek 11 Fantasy Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Isiah Pacheco, Puka Nacua, Gabe Davis, Amari Cooper, more
Now armed with 10 weeks of data, we know everything and we know nothing. It's widely regarded that Philadelphia has the best run defense in football and that's a matchup worth avoiding when setting lineups. Ditto with the Jets and wide receivers. But are we sure that defenses like Minnesota and Seattle are bad? Have […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoNFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 11) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests
Could this be the easiest Pick 'Em week of the 2023 season so far? I can say this, I had the easiest time writing this one out of any column through the first 11 weeks. There are a bevy of heavy favorites that are, seemingly, easy picks. Of course, that means we're probably due for […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoRico Dowdle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Consider In 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: We've seen this story before. Cowboys fans are up in arms about the backup running back being better than the starter. Tony Pollard usurped Ezekiel Elliott last season. Now that Elliott has moved on, Rico Dowdle is the belle of the ball. Pollard hasn't […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoJustin Jefferson Won't Be Activated For Week 11
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) will not be activated off of injured reserve today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That means the All-Pro will not be available to play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. Minnesota now has a dilemma on its hands. They could activate Jefferson prior to their Week […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoGabe Davis - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Avoid in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Will a change at offensive coordinator help Gabe Davis be more consistent on a game-to-game basis? It seems unlikely, but we can always hold out hope, right? In exactly half of his 10 games this season, Davis has been under 10 PPR fantasy points, including […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoD'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 […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoBrock Purdy - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11
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 […]

BALLER MOVE: OUT (groin) POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 Update: Jalen Guyton is inactive on Sunday due to a groin injury. Avoid in all leagues. ANALYSIS: Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston, and a brutal knee injury let the world forget about Jalen Guyton. But there was a time in the 2021 season when the speedster was […]
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 […]
Andrew Ball 1 year agoWan’Dale Robinson Not An Option For Rosters In Week 11
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. The second-year wide receiver has seen his playing time slip as the team desperately searches for playmakers. While playing under 50 percent of the […]
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. The former Pro Bowler is seeing his usage slip slightly through a pair of blowout losses for the G-Men. As long as New York remains […]
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
From the sunny West Coast to the Frozen Tundra. At least there's no snow in the forecast and the temperature for kickoff is in the mid-to-low 40s. A rare matchup between Los Angeles and Green Bay is on tap this Sunday. This will be just the 13th time these two franchises have met on the […]

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.
