I am back after missing last week. And what a time to be back. Thanksgiving weekend has many exciting matchups that could go far in deciding playoff berths and seedings.

Jalen Pitre A Possible Spot Start In Week 12

Houston Texans safety Jalen Pitre has had a disappointing 2023, but he could be in for a better game in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Brian Burns Has A Good Matchup In Week 12

Carolina Panthers edge rusher Brian Burns has a plus matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. Burns has made five sacks this season and just 28 tackles. He's been disappointing for IDP managers who drafted him amongst the top 10 defensive ends, but he could provide value against a subpar Titans offensive line. The […]

Jordyn Brooks Makes A Pick-Six On Thanksgiving

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks intercepted a pass from San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy in the third quarter and took it 12 yards for a score, the Seahawks' only touchdown in a 13-31 Thanksgiving Day loss to the Niners.

When Will Cooper Kupp Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Los Angeles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp has been one of the most legendary fantasy wide receivers. He was the first receiver since 2005 to win the Triple Crown. Early on in 2022, it looked like he could have repeated that feat, but then he went down with an injury and missed the second half of […]

When Will Justin Jefferson Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson has gained 5,396 yards on 360 catches since he entered the league in 2020. That's the second-most receiving yards over the period, behind only perennial All-Pro Tyreek Hill. Jefferson was drafted in the early first round, often as the No. 1 pick, in almost all fantasy leagues. It's too bad […]

When Will De'Von Achane Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane exploded onto the fantasy football radar in Week 3 when he ran for 203 yards and two touchdowns and scored two more touchdown passes through the air in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos.

Is Christian Watson Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Green Bay wide receiver Christian Watson found the end zone again last week in the Packers' win over the Los Angeles Chargers.  Watson has been having a disappointing season after coming into year two with much optimism based on the big-play ability he flashed in the second half of his rookie season.

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Fantasy Football Streamers for Week 12 (2023)

If you took my advice in Week 2 and added Dallas Cowboys CB DaRon Bland to your IDP team, you would have enjoyed 23 fantasy points this week as he made yet another pick-six, his fourth of the season. Bland is still only rostered in 13% of Sleeper leagues. If you're not rostering and starting […]

George Kittle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been one of the best tight ends in the league every year since he became a full-time starter in 2018, his second year in the NFL. This year has been no different. Kittle is the TE6 […]

Romeo Doubs - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Start as a flex in 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs missed a lot of time in his rookie season, but when he did play, he looked good, leading some fantasy analysts to project he would be the team's number-one WR in 2023. Probably nothing […]

DaRon Bland Is A Top-Tier DB Option In IDP In Week 11

Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland, who has a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers, is one of the best choices to start at defensive back in IDP leagues in Week 11.

D.J. Wonnum A Solid Streamer In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings edge rusher D.J. Wonnum is a solid streaming option in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. Wonnum, who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, has been a rotational player for much of his early career, but he stepped into a starting role this season and has played 79% […]

T.J. Watt Has Explosive Potential In Week 11

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt could blow up in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are starting fifth-round rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback. The UCLA product threw three interceptions and took four sacks in his only start of the season, a 3-28 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Watt is an elite […]

Ed Oliver Is A Quality Start In Week 11

Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver lines up against a weak New York Jets offensive line in Week 11, and Oliver should be a strong start in IDP leagues. Oliver has made 5.0 sacks and eight QB hits this season. In his first matchup against the Jets in Week 1, Oliver made three tackles, six […]

Is Zach Wilson Starting For The Jets In Week 11? Fantasy Football Outlook

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is one of the worst signal callers in the league by nearly any measure. With a 59.9 PFF offense grade, Wilson is the 29th-best amongst qualifying quarterbacks. He has thrown one more interception than he has thrown touchdown passes. He has only completed 59.8% of the passes he has […]

Fantasy Football Sleeper Picks Week 11: Bailey Zappe, Tyson Chandler, Quentin Johnston, Rondale Moore

If you had started Texans WR Noah Brown (6-153-1) and Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (9-138-1) in Week 9, you would have won your week and might have finished as the highest scorer in your league.

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Fantasy Football Streamers for Week 11 (2023)

Kyle Hamilton Dominates In Loss

Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton made eight tackles and a pick-six in the Ravens' 31-33 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 10.

He […]

Houston Texans defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins was amongst the Week 10 leaders in IDP scoring, as he had three sacks and forced a fumble in the Texans' 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Seahawks Linebackers Are Strong Starts In Week 10

Seattle Seahawks linebackers Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks are both strong starts in Week 10 against a Washington Commanders team that has been allowing a lot of fantasy points to opposing linebackers. In the past three weeks, each of the Commanders' opponents have had at least one linebacker made double-digit tackles. Over half of Commanders […]

Patrick Queen A Strong Start In Week 10

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen is a strong start in Week 10 against a Browns team that runs the ball often. The Browns rank No. 1 with an average of 34.8 rushing attempts per game and 37.7 in the past three games. Those rushing attempts will give Ravens linebackers Queen and Roquan Smith many attempts […]

Dorance Armstrong Has A Good Matchup In Week 10

Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Dorance Armstrong has had sacks in each of the past two games. He could continue the trend in Week 10 against a shoddy New York Giants team. The Giants offensive line is pretty bad. They rank No. 28 in PFF's Week 10 offensive-line rankings. But their quarterbacks are even worse at […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 10 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

The Miami Dolphins have shown once again that they can't score points against top-tier teams. They only scored 14 points in Frankfurt, Germany, and lost to the Chiefs by the margin of a Tyreek Hill fumble that was returned for a touchdown. It's likely they would have lost, anyway, because Patrick Mahomes would probably have […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 10 (2023)

The Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, and Philadelphia Eagles all go on bye in Week 10. That will take some pass rushers fantasy IDP managers have been relying on out of commission, including Chris Jones, Jaelan Phillips, and Haason Reddick. How will you replace them? Take a look at the Week 10 […]
