Rashan Gary Picks Up Three Sacks In Week 3 Win

Green Bay Packers defensive end Rashan Gary had three sacks in the Packers' 18-17 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.

Brian Branch Shines In His First Start

Detroit Lions' safety Brian Branch shined in his first start, as the Lions beat the Atlanta Falcons 20-6. Branch made 11 solo tackles, including three tackles for loss, and he broke up two passes.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin continued his productive season with 15 combined tackles and his first sack in a Week 3 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Should I Start Brian Robinson Jr in Week 3? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

One year after getting shot by criminals attempting to rob him, Brian Robinson Jr. is the undisputed RB1 in Washington and the RB2 in fantasy football (standard scoring) after two weeks. He's run for 146 yards and two touchdowns in two games, and he already has almost as many receiving yards as he did through […]

Should I Start Garrett Wilson in Week 3? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is one of the best at his position. His fantasy value is just hurt by poor quarterback play. A Week 1 injury to Aaron Rodgers has forced the Jets to start Zach Wilson at quarterback. That has hurt Wilson's upside, but he has still finished as a starting-caliber […]

Should I Start Tyler Allgeier in Week 3? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier had a strong rookie season. Surprisingly, the fifth-round draft pick ran for over 1,000 yards. However, in 2023, the Falcons drafted highly-touted University of Texas RB Bijan Robinson with the No. 8 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Does Allgeier still hold fantasy value? Is he still getting carries […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 3 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Week 3 includes a lot of uneven matchups. Three teams are double-digit favorites. I usually don't like taking such heavy favorites, but you will see there is one team that is just too attractive to avoid. There are only two games with spreads of two points or less. I made plays on the over/under in […]

Talanoa Hufanga Set For Big Game

San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga has a big, juicy matchup against the flailing New York Giants in Week 3. The 49ers are one of the most disruptive defenses in the league. They rank No. 2 in the league with four interceptions and No. 11 with six sacks. The Giants, meanwhile, rank second in most […]

Micah Parsons Looks To Continue Impressive Season

Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons looks to continue raining destruction on opposing offenses against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. Parsons has already made 3.0 sacks, six QB hits, one forced fumble, one pass defense, and one fumble recovery in two weeks. The Cardinals are an extremely weak team on paper. Their offensive line […]

Jason Pinnock Primed for A Breakout

New York Giants safety Jason Pinnock is having a breakout in his third season. Last week, Pinnock made 13 combined tackles against the Arizona Cardinals. This week, he faces the 49ers, whose opponents are averaging more tackles per game than Cardinals opponents average. Niners running back Christian McCaffrey is tough to tackle, and there is […]

Alex Anzalone Has Highly Favorable Matchup In Week 3

Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone has an excellent matchup in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons are by far the most run-heavy team in the NFL, and they present a good opportunity for Anzalone to have a high-tackle game. While Anzalone is known to miss a tackle from time to time, he gets […]

Ernest Jones' Outlook Depends On Bengals Injuries

Fantasy managers rostering Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones may want to follow the Cincinnati Bengals' injury reports. If Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow misses the Week 3 matchup against the Rams, Jones should be in line for a huge game. Jones has been productive in his first season as the Rams' every-down linebacker, having made […]

Is Derrick Henry Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry still carries the rock at a high volume. His 40 carries in two weeks rank second in the NFL, and he has rushed for the ninth-most yards.  Although his per-carry average is down from last season, he's still scoring enough points with his volume to make fantasy managers happy. […]

Is Miles Sanders Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Miles Sanders' fantasy value plummeted when he left the Philadelphia Eagles to sign with the Carolina Panthers this past offseason. In the first two weeks of the season, Eagles running backs have been dominating, while Sanders struggles behind a weak offensive line. He is only averaging 57.5 yards per game, almost twenty yards fewer than […]

Last week's second waiver wire recommendation, Saints DE Carl Granderson, made a sack and forced a fumble in the New Orleans' victory over the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football.

Week 2 NFL RB Power Rankings: All 32 Starting Running Backs Ranked

Controversy reigns over the value of an elite running back. This offseason, multiple backs threatened to hold out or delayed signing franchise tags as they thought they should have earned higher salaries. Most of those situations were resolved, but Jonathan Taylor remains on the Colts' PUP list after he and his team could not come […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 2- Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

In Week 1, bettors often overreact to the previous season's standings. Now, in Week 2, we should not overreact to Week 1. The Browns' defense is good for real, but the Bengals' offense is not bad enough to score 3 points in most games. The Cowboys are good, and the Giants are probably worse than […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2 - Fantasy Football Streamers and Free Agent Adds

In Week 1, T.J. Watt, Josh Allen, Jessie Bates III, and Zaire Franklin balled out. Watt, Allen, and 49ers DE Drake Jackson tied for the Week 1 lead with 3.0 sacks each.

Daron Payne Has A Favorable Matchup In Week 1

Washington Commanders DT Daron Payne has a favorable matchup against a weak Arizona Cardinals offensive line to begin the 2023 season. Payne made 11.5 sacks on 908 snaps in 2022. He lined up for about 66% of his snaps from the DT position and 34% as an end. He should be primed for a big game […]

Rashan Gary Could Be Eased Into Lineup

Green Bay Packers defensive end Rashan Gary is back after tearing his ACL on November 6. He'll be playing in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears, whose quarterback was sacked at a higher rate than any other starting quarterback. Justin Fields has been among the league leaders in sacks in each of his two seasons. […]

T.J. Watt Ready to Roll

T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers' dominant defensive line could give San Francisco 49ers trouble in Week 1. Watt tore his pectoral muscle in the first game of 2022 and missed seven games. His absence severely hurt the Steelers' entire defense. The Steelers allowed eight fewer points in games in which Watt was active, and […]

Myles Garrett Has the Bengals' Number

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has a history of success against his Week 1 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals. Last season, Garrett made 3.5 sacks and 7 QB hits in his two games against the Bengals. In his career, he has made 11.0 sacks in nine games against the Bengals. While the Bengals' offensive line […]

Xavien Howard Projected To Be Targeted in Week 1

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard projects to face heavy volume in his Week 1 road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers threw the ball 711 times last season, second-most in the league. With Kellen Moore taking over as offensive coordinator, the Chargers could throw the ball even more, especially deep and toward the […]

Zaven Collins A Potential Sleeper IDP in Week 1

Arizona Cardinals defensive end Zaven Collins is an intriguing sleeper in his Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Collins has not lived up to expectations since being drafted No. 16 overall in 2021. He only played 220 snaps his rookie year and made 100 combined tackles last season while missing 18 in 1,025 snaps. […]

Nakobe Dean Ready for a Heavy Workload in Week 1

Eagles linebacker Nakoke Dean is poised for a big game in his debut as Philadelphia's every-down middle linebacker. Dean was drafted in the third round out of Georgia in 2022, and he sat most of the season, accumulating just five tackles in 38 snaps, as the Eagles had two reliable starters in T.J. Edwards and […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 1 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Week 1 always has its share of surprises. We haven't seen most of these teams play in eight months. In fact, we really haven't seen any of these teams ever play; like the water in a stream, they are all new and different teams. So if you rely too much on last season's numbers and […]

Carl Granderson An IDP Sleeper In Week 1

Saints defensive end Carl Granderson starts off his 2023 campaign with an extremely favorable matchup against the worst offensive line in the league, the Tennessee Titans. Granderson, who is entering his fifth year, made a career-high 5.5 sacks last season, 53 combined tackles, nine tackles for losses, and nine hits on opposing quarterbacks while only […]

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~123 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~139 ANALYSIS:  Tyler Higbee finished as the TE9 last season because the Rams' offense was a mess, and they had no one else behind Cooper Kupp. Quick question: Who do they have behind Cooper Kupp now? Answer: Van Jefferson, Ben Skowronek, Tutu Atwell, and Demarcus Robinson. Fifth-round pick […]

Raheem Mostert (RB, MIA): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~139 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~153 ANALYSIS:  Raheem Mostert set career highs in attempts, rushing yards, receptions, and receiving yards last season en route to an RB27 finish in half-PPR. Mike McDaniels' offense emphasizes speed. It's a good fit for Mostert, who ran a 4.34-forty-yard dash at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine.  Now, […]

Fantasy Football D/ST Sleepers - Team Defenses To Draft Include Saints DST, Patriots DST, Steelers DST, more

Defense and special teams unit (D/ST) is often overlooked in traditional fantasy football leagues. It's not as exciting as running backs who stiff-arm defenders to hell or wide receivers who pull down deep passes with one hand. Fantasy football D/STs also do not score as much as offensive players, and their scoring fluctuates on a […]
