Week 11 Busts For Fantasy Football: Joe Flacco, Eric Decker, T.Y. Hilton, and the Buffalo Defense
Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) The Ravens' offense has to be among the most boring in all of football. I mean it. Kamar Aiken, Chris Givens and Marlon Brown are some of the least exciting players in the league. Justin Forsett is a short-yardage collector with one single run of over 25 yards. Tight ends Crockett Gilmore […]

Harris 9 years agoFantasy Football Sells? DeAngelo Williams, Jimmy Graham, Jay Ajayi
Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) Seattle's unwillingness to make Jimmy Graham a focal point of its struggling offense is mind-boggling, but it remains to be the case. Over the last four weeks, Graham has averaged the 20th-most fantasy points among tight ends with at least 10 targets over that span. He is projected to earn the third-most […]

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your season. The right trade can make or break your team. The key is to buy low on cold players, then swap them out once they get hot and their value skyrockets. Everyone knows this method, but that doesn't mean you still can't […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Zach LaVine's raw athleticism is undeniable, but whether or not his skills are NBA-ready is still up for debate. As a rookie, the lanky combo guard scored 10.1 points per game on 42% shooting. Now in his second year, LaVine is on a very similar […]

Peyton Manning - QB, Denver Broncos Enough of the slander. This is a future hall-of-famer that has racked up at least 4,000 yards in each of his last eight seasons. After this week's bye, Manning and the Broncos head home for what is bound to be a shootout with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, whose defense […]

Harris 9 years agoChris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?
Brandon Marshall says Chris Ivory is the best running back in the NFL; the numbers say otherwise. Ivory had just five 100-yard showings in 39 games leading up to his Week 3 demolition of the Dolphins' defense. His career game put him on the "elite" radar of many fantasy owners, so now is the time […]
Harris 9 years agoGary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?
Barnidge had another impressive showing in Week 5 against the Ravens, giving him 319 yards and three touchdowns over the last three games. The 30-year-old Barnidge had three career touchdowns prior to this season, so this emergence came out of nowhere. Catching passes from someone as unpredictable as Josh McCown, Barnidge could disappear as quickly […]
Harris 9 years agoAndy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?
The Bengals are rolling, largely due to the superb play of quarterback Andy Dalton. Cincinnati's quarterback has posted at least 300 yards in each of his last three games - he only eclipsed the 300-yard mark three times in all of 2014. After five weeks, Dalton has the second most passing yards (1,518) and the […]
Harris 9 years agoJeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Buys
Maclin is finally being used correctly in Kansas City. The former Eagles wideout has been targeted double-digit times in three straight weeks,and has collected 374 yards over that span. Maclin broke out in 2014, finishing ninth in the NFL with 1,318 yards. Now, five weeks into his first year with the Chiefs, Maclin is sixth […]
Harris 9 years agoJoseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?
Randle has been inconsistent over the course of the first five weeks, collecting 87 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3, but just 26 yards on 11 carries in Week 3. The Cowboys head into their bye week having lost three straight games, and have announced that recently signed Christine Michael may be named the […]
Harris 9 years agoC.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?
This is a tricky one. At the start of the season, I had Anderson ranked lower than most people. It's not that I didn't trust him, I just thought he was overhyped as a result of four weeks in 2014-- a pair of 160-yard games and a pair of opportunistic, three-touchdown games. Outside of those […]

Harris 9 years agoLarry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?
At age 32, Larry Fitzgerald seems to have re-emerged as an elite fantasy receiver. I'm not buying it. The targets are there, and his chemistry with Carson Palmer is undeniable -- and I'm not downplaying his talent -- but he has been playing well above what he projects to do over the rest of the […]
Harris 9 years agoDion Lewis (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?
Okay, you've had your fun. Did you really think Bill Belichick was going to stick with one running back on a weekly basis? In 2014, five different backs led the Pats in rushing in a given week. For the first two weeks of 2015, Lewis was the guy, but LeGarrette Blount took the reigns in […]
Harris 9 years agoDevonta Freeman (RB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?
I can't remember a sell-high candidate stronger than Devonta Freeman in all of my years as fantasy owner. The second-year back has scored six touchdowns in the past two weeks. The last player to find the end zone three times in two consecutive games was LaDanian Tomlinson in 2006. More incredibly, these two games were […]
Harris 9 years agoMike Evans (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?
Mike Evans was non-existent in his Week 2 debut. He had a monster, seven-catch, 101-yard showing in Week 3, but then disappeared again in Week 4, reeling in just three passes for 32 yards. However, as the clear best weapon on a struggling Bucs offense, Evans should start to get a lot more looks. Additionally, […]
Harris 9 years agoDeMarco Murray (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?
DeMarco Murray could be considered the biggest fantasy disappointment to date, with just 47 yards on 29 carries in three games. As abysmal as he has been running the ball, we know what he is capable of doing, and it is only a matter of time before he hits his stride. In Week 4, he […]
Harris 9 years agoAlfred Morris (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?
Some owners might be growing tired of Alfred Morris' inability to find the end zone thus far in 2015. Take advantage of that frustration and trade for him before those owners realize how valuable Morris truly is. Washington's premier back is one of just five players with at least 1,000 rushing yards in each of […]
