Justin Carter 6 years agoChris Herndon IV Has Upside In Week 10
While the Buffalo Bills have limited opposing tight ends from a yardage perspective, they have allowed four touchdowns this year to the position, making New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon an interesting streamer option in Week 10. Herndon has three touchdowns in his past four games, but only once has he received more than […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJets Receiver Trio Has Low Ceiling In Week 10
The Jets feature three wide receivers who took at least 70 percent of the team's snaps in Week 9, but none of those players present a consistent and safe fantasy option in Week 10 against a Bills team that allows the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa, and Jermaine […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoElijah McGuire Could Be Sneaky Play
New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire took a clear backseat to Isaiah Crowell in Week 9, but he could be a sneaky fantasy play this week against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo has been susceptible to rushing touchdowns over the past three games, and McGuire could see something closer to Crowell's workload this week after […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoIsaiah Crowell Has Upside In Week 10
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell has a shot at putting up some strong fantasy numbers in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed four rushing touchdowns to backs over the past three games. Crowell is always a boom-or-bust guy, but this could be one of those weeks when he booms, especially […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJosh McCown Not A Good Fantasy Option In Week 10
With Sam Darnold expected to miss Sunday's meeting with the Bills, the New York Jets will turn to quarterback Josh McCown to start for the team. McCown brings a veteran presence to the field and should avoid excessively turning the ball over, but the Bills currently limit fantasy quarterbacks to the third-fewest fantasy points per […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJaguars Defense Might Have Another Tough Week
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense hasn't played at the same level this year as it has in the past, and Sunday's meeting with the Indianapolis Colts could lead to another disappointing outing for the Jags. They'll be without Dante Fowler moving forward, who they traded to the Rams at the deadline, and have to face a […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoDede Westbrook Has Deep League Upside In Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook had the team's highest snap share among wide receivers against the Eagles in Week 8 and looks to be the team's top receiver moving forward, though he has posted low yardage totals over the past few games. In Week 10, he gets a meeting with the Colts, who have […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoKeelan Cole Isn't A Good Fantasy Option In Week 10
Despite opening the season as the favorite to lead the receiving group, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole has dropped down the team's pecking order. In Week 8 against the Eagles, he saw a snap percentage of just 23, far behind Dede Westbrook, Donte Moncrief, and rookie D.J. Chark, who has started to grow into […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoT.J. Yeldon Remains A Solid PPR Play In Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon has been targeted five or more times in all but one game so far this season, and even with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) back in the lineup, Yeldon's upside as the receiver makes him a good flex option in PPR leagues this week against a Colts team that has allowed […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoLeonard Fournette Has Plenty Of Upside In Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to return to the Jaguars lineup in Week 10 against a Colts defense that gives up the 13th-most fantasy points to the running back position. Fournette does have a little more of a crowd in the backfield now that T.J. Yeldon looks like a strong receiving […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoBlake Bortles Set For Good Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles finds himself in a good position in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite some struggles at times this year, Bortles meets a defense that allowed three touchdown passes to the Raiders in Week 8 and would look a lot worse on paper had it not been for a dominant […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Dez Bryant may have suffered a torn Achilles in practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network is reporting. Bryant is currently undergoing an MRI to determine the extent of his injury, but a torn Achilles would mean an end to Bryant's comeback before it even began, and would leave the Saints […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoCarmelo Anthony Plays Poorly In Return To OKC
Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony spent last year with the Thunder, and on Thursday he had a chance for a revenge game against his former team. Instead, Anthony was abysmal for the Rockets, scoring two points on 1-for-11 shooting and grabbing five rebounds. Anthony should play better on Saturday against the Spurs, but with lows […]
