Week 8 Risers and Fallers: Alfred Blue, Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle & More

Week 7 is in the books, and there are still five undefeated teams left standing in the NFL. Fantasy football managers with a matching 7-0 record are just as boastful, but the fantasy gods are vengeful and do not take kindly to such hubris. Even the teams at the top of the table need to manage […]


Antonio Brown Looks to Bounce Back with Landry Jones Under Center

It's been a tough year for Antonio Brown, who was the highest rated fantasy receiver coming into the season. Brown was stellar in the first three weeks of the season with 29 catches, 436 yards and two touchdowns, but then Ben Roethlisberger went down with a knee injury and everything changed. Michael Vick struggled in […]


With Dion Lewis Hurt, LeGarrette Blount Steps Up to Face Stout Jets Defense

LeGarrette Blount is second on the New England Patriots' depth chart, but he leads the team in carries and has been productive in an offense that's always hard to predict. Dion Lewis took hold of the starting spot while Blount was suspended for Week 1 and has looked great, especially in the passing game. But […]


C.J. Anderson, Sammy Watkins, Charcandrick West: Fantasy Football Fallers

C.J. Anderson – RB, Denver Broncos The guillotine dropped slowly, but it seems to have finally fallen in Denver. C.J. Anderson had every opportunity to take hold of the starting running back position. He even started this week's game against the Cleveland Browns and had his most productive PPR fantasy day of the year, but […]


Stefon Diggs, Christine Michael, Jonathan Stewart: Fantasy Football Risers

Stefon Diggs – WR, Minnesota Vikings While it's only been two weeks, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been red-hot lately. The rookie out of Maryland has grabbed 13 receptions for 216 yards in his last two games. His biggest game (seven catches for 129 yards) came against the weak Kansas City Chiefs secondary, […]


Week 7 Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers and Trade Candidates

Through six weeks of the NFL season, no player has risen faster than Devonta Freeman, the clear breakout star of the fantasy season. While the guy that hastily drafted him in the 12th round before eating his 24th chicken wing reaps the benefits, the rest of us are stuck picking through the waiver wire, looking […]


Alfred Morris Set for Big Workload with Matt Jones Inactive.

The Washington Redskins backfield has been tough to figure out this year, but things should be a little easier in Week 6. Matt Jones has been officially declared inactive against the New York Jets. The Redskins will have a tough time moving the ball in either phase of the game against a tough Jets defense, […]


LeSean McCoy Set for Limited Role in Week 6

The good news for fantasy football managers is that LeSean McCoy is set to suit up for the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, he's not a RB1 play, because he is not expected to take on a full workload in his first game back from battling the injury. The Cincinnati Bengals have been vulnerable to the run, […]


Peyton Manning Takes on Father Time and Mother Nature in Week 6

It's been a rough start to the season for Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. Through five weeks he has averaged 246.8 passing yards per game, has just one 300-yard passing game and has thrown just six touchdowns to go with his seven interceptions. Father time is undefeated, and he looks to be taking down Manning […]


Luke McCown (QB, CLE) - Week 6 Fantasy Football Risers

The 'Manziel' chants have quieted just a bit in Cleveland. Josh McCown has shown promise in the Browns offense with three consecutive 300-yard games (341, 356, 457), including a career-best 457 passing yards in an overtime win against the Baltimore Ravens. While Gary Barnidge, Isaiah Crowell, Duke Johnson and Travis Benjamin owners were left smiling, especially […]


Christine Michael (RB, DAL) - Week 6 Fantasy Football Risers

It may seem odd to list a player that had just one carry in Week 5 as a riser, but the previously speculated notion that Christine Michael might take over the Dallas Cowboys starting job has gained steam. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Michael will “definitely” be used more after the Cowboys' bye week, and […]


Matthew Stafford (QB, DET) - Week 6 Fantasy Football Fallers

During the fantasy football draft season, the Detroit Lions offense looked like a buffet. They had three capable backs, two high-ceiling receivers and a quarterback that loves to throw the ball around the yard. The situation has quickly turned into a graveyard, and Matthew Stafford has been the biggest casualty. Stafford was so bad in Week […]


Alfred Morris (RB, WAS) - Week 6 Fantasy Football Fallers

Alfred Morris has been the best back in Washington over the last three years, but he's getting plenty of pressure from the young backs behind him on the depth chart. The Washington Redskins rushed for just 51 yards against the Atlanta Falcons and Morris earned less than a third of those yards. For a back that […]


Anthony Dixon (RB, BUF) - Week 6 Fantasy Football Fallers

With LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams out in Week 5, Boobie Dixon seemed like the logical pick to step in and shoulder the load for the Buffalo Bills. But Dixon was hampered by a calf injury and was supplanted by Daniel 'Boom' Herron, who just signed with the Bills last week. With three backs now […]


Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Week 6 Fantasy Football Risers

The New York Giants face a bit of a dilemma this week, and it will leave plenty of fantasy football managers pacing in front of their screens. Odell Beckham, Jr. and Rueben Randle are both nursing hamstring injuries and the team plays on Monday Night. If your flex position sits empty all week, Shane Vereen […]


Week 6 Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers and Trade Candidates

It was comeback weekend in the NFL as the Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers all overcame late game deficits to win important games. Whether it was the flurry of scoring in the final minutes of the 1:00 games or the gutsy Le'Veon Bell touchdown […]


Ronnie Hillman Set to Explode in Increased Role

The Denver Broncos backfield has been in flux for years, and it looks like things are about to shift once again. Although CJ Anderson came into the season as the #1 running back, Ronnie Hillman has clearly been the better back so far this season. If you trust the words of head coach Gary Kubiak, […]


New York Giants Tight End Daniel Fells in Danger of Losing his Foot

New York Giants tight end Daniel Fells has been in the hospital for a week battling a staph infection in his foot, according to a report by Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Fells has undergone multiple surgeries to deal with MRSA, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureu, an antibiotic-resistant form of the infection that is extremely hard to deal […]


Darren McFadden to Handle Third-Down Duties with Lance Dunbar Out

It should come as no surprise, but with Lance Dunbar going on Injured Reserve with a torn ACL, Darren McFadden will take on an increased role in the Dallas Cowboys offense. According to ESPN's Ed Werder, McFadden will be the back to look out for in "passing situations." Dunbar has been a big fantasy contributor […]


DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Fallers

The Miami Dolphins were many experts' sleeper pick to make a leap into the playoffs, but Ryan Tannehill has failed to take that next step, the team's defense is in disarray and now they have to transition to a new coach as Joe Philbin was fired this week. Rookie DeVante Parker was expected to be […]


Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Fallers

The Philadelphia Eagles offense was expected to put up huge fantasy numbers in their third season under head coach Chip Kelly. But the team has struggled to a 1-3 record and is averaging less than 20 points per game. Darren Sproles production has taken one of the biggest hits so far. He's totaled just 72 […]


Jordan Reed (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Fallers

It’s not the on-field performance that’s affected Jordan Reed’s stock. Through four weeks he has 24 receptions, 278 yards and a touchdown. However, he left the Washington Redskins Week 4 matchup with a concussion, and it’s far from the first in his career. Reed missed the final seven games of his rookie season with a concussion […]


Carlos Hyde (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Stock Falling?

After Week 1, some people were questioning their thoughts about the San Francisco 49ers. Carlos Hyde ran for 168 yards and two touchdowns in a dominant Monday Night victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Since then, the Niners have come crashing back down to Earth. They rank dead last in the league in points scored, including […]


Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Risers

Perhaps the most surprising revelation of the year has been the Cleveland Browns' Gary Barnidge. The 30-year old tight end had a career high 13 receptions last year. Through four weeks, he already has 16 catches and has become a preferred target of quarterback Josh McCown. In the last two weeks, he’s caught 12 passes […]


Pierre Garcon (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Risers

The Washington Redskins have fared better than many people expected early in the season, but they are not on solid ground yet. If they want to stay at the top of the NFC East, Kirk Cousins will need to find Pierre Garcon in big spots. Garcon caught the game-winning touchdown for the Redskins on his […]


Justin Forsett (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Risers

The early season was a struggle. Plenty of fantasy football managers had already benched Forsett, and were looking to deal him before he broke out against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. He came into the game with a total of 124 rushing yards, but he ate up 150 yards on 27 carries in the […]


Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Risers

Common wisdom says to stay away from anybody under center in Jacksonville, but Blake Bortles has been surprisingly consistent in his second year. Although accuracy is still an issue, head coach Gus Bradley is giving him every opportunity to throw the ball around. Bortles has 116 pass attempts in the last three weeks and has […]


Week 5 Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers & Trade Candidates

We’re through the first quarter of the NFL season and things are starting to get tight in the fantasy world. As the temperature falls, the heat rises, and not just in the offices of daily fantasy CEOs. Rosters are a bit thinner now that byes are upon us and your fellow managers have had four […]


Cecil Shorts III is Your PPR Injury Stash Special of the Week

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts III has never been a spectacular, big play receiver but what he has going for him is consistency. Over the last four seasons, he’s averaged nearly 4.5 catches per game and has been left without a catch in […]


Is Chris Thompson the #1 Running Back to Own In Washington?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Washington Redskins backfield has gotten very crowded in recent weeks with both Matt Jones and Chris Thompson eating into Alfred Morris’ workload. Morris is the clear number one and he helped solidify that position with 38 rushing yards on […]
