Navigating the bye weeks was probably a nightmare for fantasy managers. Thankfully, we finally got some explosive offensive performances from the teams that were playing. However, offensive line play continued to be inconsistent despite the uptick in offensive production. Thankfully, there weren’t many significant injuries across offensive line units in the NFL in Week 9. […]

Football fans got spoiled for the second week in a row thanks to a handful of high-scoring contests. Unfortunately, fantasy managers didn’t get equally high scoring out of their fantasy quarterbacks on an extremely bye-heavy week. Tua Tagovailoa was the only quarterback in the NFL to throw for over 300 yards in Week 9. Both […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones had an unproductive game the week before New York’s bye (9.04 fantasy points), so it’s possible he found his way to the waiver wire as fantasy managers searched for a streaming option.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baker Mayfield is far from a priority add-on waivers, but he may have value once again after looking good in mop-up duty after the Bengals raced out to a giant lead in Week 9. At the very least, he may have forced […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There isn’t much to say about Deshaun Watson except for the fact that his suspension ends after the Browns’ next three games.

The 2022 NFL season had one of the most notable trade deadlines of recent memory, with plenty of players changing locations to finish the season. One of the most expected trades never materialized though, with the Houston Texans Brandin Cooks remaining with the team. Cooks, the veteran receiver, was unpleased, leading to him missing Houston’s […]
Dan Fornek 2 years agoIs Darren Waller playing in Week 9? Should I pick up and start Foster Moreau for fantasy football?
It seemed like fantasy managers were getting a great discount on a high-volume tight end throughout the fantasy draft season when Darren Waller was being drafted as the TE4. Unfortunately, things have not gone to plan through the first eight weeks of the season. Waller (and the Raiders’ passing offense in general) has struggled to […]

Week 8 provided a glimmer of hope for offensive football in 2022. Eight teams (a 2022 season high!) scored at least 30 points in Week 8. Collectively, offensive line play didn’t improve immensely, but we also dodged any significant long-term injuries for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately, Week 9 is one of […]

It may have taken us eight weeks, but fantasy managers got some explosive production out of the quarterback position. Six quarterbacks (Tua Tagovailoa, Zach Wilson, Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Jared Goff, and P.J. Walker) finished with over 300-passing yards. Four quarterbacks had three or more passing touchdowns (led by Jalen Hurts' four). Week 9 will […]

The Rams announced this week that running back Cam Akers will once again be unavailable as the team works to find a trade partner for him. That leaves the Rams backfield with Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown. The Rams also have rookie Kyren Williams working his way off the injured reserve. The view of the […]

What more can be said about the continued lack of explosive offense in the NFL during the 2022 season? Scoring (real and fantasy) is down across the board as offenses struggle to find their footing this year. That is also true for offensive line units across the league. Just 10 teams had a combined PFF […]

From a quarterback perspective, Week 7 can be defined by the extremes. Two quarterbacks (Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes) threw for over 400 passing yards. Four other quarterbacks (Andy Dalton, Trevor Lawrence, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Davis Mills) eclipsed 300 passing yards. However, 13 of the starting quarterbacks in the NFL failed to throw for over […]

Week 5 is nearly in the books and NFL offenses continue to struggle. Josh Allen paced all quarterbacks in passing yards (424) and passing touchdowns (four) in a rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
