Cole Beasley A Low-End Option In PPR Leagues
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley caught all four of his targets in Week 2 and produced 83 receiving yards on the day. It was a significant target decrease from his nine targets in Week 1, but it was nonetheless inspiring to see him turn in a solid performance despite the low target-share. Expect him […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoZay Jones Still Not Roster-Worthy
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones hasn't been very involved in the offense through two games, with just seven targets and a total of three catches for 32 yards. John Brown and Cole Beasley have been the center of Josh Allen's attention and while Jones is quite possibly the next option on his radar, it's […]

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon stands to benefit if the team's No. 2 running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is out or limited in Week 3, but Yeldon still has too much risk built in to consider starting. He's yet to touch the ball through two games this year. He likely needs either starting running […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoBills Defense A Top-End Fantasy Option In Week 3
The Bills Defense has had a bit of a cakewalk so far this season, opening the year with the Jets and Giants, but the competition doesn't get any more fierce this week. The Bills have their home opener against the Bengals in Week 3. The Bengals are still without star wide receiver A.J. Green and […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoFrank Gore A Decent RB2 Option In Week 3
Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore turned in a strong fantasy performance in Week 2 with 19 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. This week, Gore's situation looks even better as the team's No. 2 running back Devin Singletary is nursing a hamstring injury and is currently questionable for the game. The Bills have […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoJohn Brown A Solid WR2 In Week 3
Through two games, Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown is averaging nine targets and just a shade under 100 receiving yards per game, leading the team in both categories. He should continue to produce strong numbers this week with a favorable matchup against the Bengals in the Bills' home opener. Brown should see at least […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoJosh Allen A Solid Start In Week 3
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has the team off to a 2-0 start and could very well keep the good times going with a favorable matchup against the Bengals in the team's home opener this weekend. Allen has scored both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in each of his first two games and […]

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) was activated off the Injured List on Wednesday and is headed right into the team's lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels. He's hitting fifth and playing left field. Stanton hasn't seen the field since late June as he's been sidelined with a PCL strain in his right […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoMike Moustakas Hits Home Run No. 35 On Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas continues to inch closer to his career-best home run season, which came when he hit 38 in 2017 with the Royals. On Tuesday, Moustakas hit 1-for-3 and blasted his 35th home run of the season. He is now slashing .262/.333/.535 with 85 RBI on the year. He's maintained a […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoLorenzo Cain Hits Ninth Home Run On Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain broke a substantial home run drought on Tuesday, hitting his first home run since July 31 and his ninth home run on the season. Cain is of course known more for his contact-hitting ability than his power, but he's had a down year all around. He's currently slashing just .251/.316/.352. […]

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel suffered his sixth loss of the season on Tuesday, giving up eight hits, one walk and five earned runs over five innings against the Phillies. Keuchel was fortunate his line wasn't even worse as he loaded the bases in the fifth inning with just one out, but was able […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoAdam Plutko Earns Seventh Win On Tuesday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko was solid on Tuesday, going six innings and allowing four hits, one walk and two earned runs while striking out six. He is now 7-4 on the season with a 4.34 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. Granted it was an easy matchup against the lowly Tigers, but Plutko has been […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Week 2 was certainly a letdown after Week 1's emergence, but Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola still presents some value in PPR leagues going forward. In Week 1, Amendola led the Lions in both targets (13) and receptions (7) while compiling […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams was heavily involved in the offense in Week 2, touching the ball a total of 12 times.

Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoMohamed Sanu Finishes With Under 20 Yards In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu had a weak showing on Sunday, catching four passes for just 16 yards on seven targets. The target number was certainly what you like to see for Sanu. It was one more than he'd received in Week 1 and he also had one more target than tight end Austin […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Cincinnati Bengals run game has struggled mightily out of the gate and No. 2 running back Giovani Bernard has been just about as ineffective as starter Joe Mixon, but Bernard could have a good chance at receiving more of a workload […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers offense came alive in a big way in Week 2, totaling 313 passing yards and 259 rushing yards in the team's 41-17 win over the Bengals. One of the biggest contributors to the offensive breakout was wide receiver Marquise […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoZay Jones Not A Viable Starting Option
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones caught two passes for 18 yards in Week 1. He was targeted four times in the game. He's the team's No. 2 receiver on paper, but slot receiver Cole Beasley will be soaking up many of the targets that would be going to a No. 2 receiver in most […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoT.J. Yeldon Should Remain On Waivers
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon only played two offensive snaps in the Bills' opening game against the Jets in Week 1 and there's little reason to believe that will change much in Week 2. He's the clear third-string running back in a rushing offense that's yet to get going. Veteran Frank Gore is the […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoMatt Bryant A Solid Low-End Start In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant didn't see any field-goal or extra-point attempts in Week 1. The Falcons scored two touchdowns in the game but attempted (and failed) two-point conversions on both occasions. This week, the Falcons host the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night, and the game should feature a lot of scoring, providing […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoFalcons Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 2
The Falcons Defense was run out of the building by the Vikings in Week 1. The Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison backfield led the Vikings to 172 rushing yards and both backs averaged over five yards per carry. The Vikings totalled 28 points in the game, allowed just one sack and didn't have any turnovers. […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoIto Smith Not Start-Worthy In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith led the team in rushing in Week 1 with 31 rushing yards on six attempts. He was far more effective than lead running back Devonta Freeman and only saw two fewer carries. While Smith could certainly end up in a time-share with Freeman sooner rather than later, it's a […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoMohamed Sanu A Potential Week 2 Starter In Deep Leagues
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu caught five of his six targets for 57 yards in Week 1 against the Vikings. His six targets tied with Calvin Ridley for third on the team behind Julio Jones (11) and Austin Hooper (9). Sanu should see around the same amount of targets as Ridley most weeks, but […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoAustin Hooper A Solid Start In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was one of the team's offensive standouts in Week 1, leading the team in both receptions (nine) and receiving yards (77). He caught all nine of his targets and was second on the team in targets in Week 1, behind only the great Julio Jones, who had 11 targets. […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoCalvin Ridley A Solid WR2 In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had 64 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings in Week 1 and should be able to duplicate or improve on those numbers in Week 2. The Falcons will host the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night. The Eagles' pass defense was exploited for 380 passing yards and […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoDevonta Freeman Worthy Of Starting In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had a game to forget in Week 1, when he gained just 19 yards on eight carries against the Vikings. This week, the Falcons face the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night. The Eagles have a strong rush defense and they held the Redskins to just 2.2 yards […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoJulio Jones Should Explode In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had an underwhelming start to the season in Week 1. While he did score a touchdown, he was held to only 31 yards in the game. That should change in Week 2 as the Falcons host the Eagles for their home opener Sunday night. The Eagles were torched by […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoMatt Ryan Should Rebound Against Eagles In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan ended up with a decent final line in Week 1, but the journey to getting there was anything but pretty. Ryan's Falcons were shut out for three quarters in the season opener against the Vikings, but a fourth quarter surge allowed Ryan to finish the day with 304 passing yards, […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoCole Beasley Back At Practice Friday
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (illness) had sat out Thursday's practice with an illness, but he is back in action on Friday and should be ready to go for Week 2. Beasley had nine targets in Week 1, second on the team behind John Brown. He delivered five catches for 40 yards on the […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoBills Defense A Strong Start In Week 2
The Bills Defense had a strong showing in Week 1, holding the Jets to 16 points while recovering a fumble and recording four sacks. They have an equally desirable matchup against the Giants in Week 2 and should produce another solid fantasy output. While Giants running back Saquon Barkley will likely have some big gains, […]
