Week 11 Fantasy Football Fallers: The Bengals Offense, Alshon Jeffery, Emmanuel Sanders & More
In Week 11 we really only saw Julian Edelman (foot) go down to serious injury, though the Peyton Manning (plantar fasciitis) news is pretty noteworthy, however if anything it just sets Manning owners free from the temptation of playing him. Sam Bradford hurt his shoulder and was concussed, though the latest reports have him just […]
Week 11 Fantasy Football Risers: Eli Manning, Charcandrick West, Michael Floyd & More
Now we're getting towards being two-thirds of the way through the fantasy football season and there's still plenty of movement among numerous players' stocks. While we'd all like to think we have a grasp on player and team trends, each week of football serves to remind us that "any given Sunday" is a real thing. We have […]
Thursday Night Matchups Preview: Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson Look to Thrive Against Titans
There's nothing better than starting your fantasy week before you get to Sunday, and if you own Allen Hurns or Allen Robinson, chances are you're likely to do just that this week. The Jacksonville Jaguars are only 3-6 this year, but in the down AFC South that puts them only one game out of first […]
Kirk Cousins (QB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add as QB2 OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kirk Cousins put on an absolute show in the Washington Redskins' rout of the New Orleans Saints this past Sunday.

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 11
I really thought NFL Doomsday was a once a year thing. In Week 3 I wrote, "NFL Doomsday has come and gone. Hopefully that will be the last week of its kind this season." Unfortunately I was wrong. This week was more devastating though. How did the Packers lose to the Lions? How did the Bengals […]

Week 10 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
The most recent slate of NFL action had a bunch of bizarre developments across the board. In fact, I would go as far as to say that fantasy aside, week ten might have been the most telling week of the year thus far as it pertains to the real life outcomes of the season. That […]
The Fall of a Legend: Peyton Manning
The adage goes that Father Time is undefeated, and on Sunday he claimed another victim. Peyton Manning was simply terrible against the Kansas City Chiefs. The future Hall of Famer threw four interceptions and had absolutely nothing behind his throws. It was so bad that the Broncos turned to backup quarterback Brock Osweiler. After the […]
Week 11 Cut List - Seven Fantasy Duds You Can Ditch: Manning, Tannehill and Lacy
We all know the feeling - you draft a guy with a ton of upside, knowing you're taking a real risk, in hopes that he will be an explosive force all season long. Year after year, more than a handful of players fail to live up to the hype. Here's a list of declining stars […]
Week 11 Waiver Wire Overview - Jay Cutler, Kamar Aiken, Jay Ajayi & More
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Eleven The tenth Sunday of the season is through, and once again we're dealing with a potentially perfect season from the Patriots.

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 11 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Danny Amendola, Matt Jones, Tyrod Taylor & More
With each passing week of the NFL season, the waiver wire options are going to get thinner and thinner. Pickups become more of the handcuff variety as most people who are going to break out or get a chance to break out, have done so. Injuries really are the biggest source of pickups. It becomes […]
Jay Cutler Is Turning a Corner
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's been a long time since we've all been on the Jay Cutler bandwagon. Now, it's looking like maybe he is ready to become a fraction of the quarterback everyone's been hoping he would become for years. Cutler has been the ninth highest scoring QB […]
Marcus Mariota Is Set for Another Big Week
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marcus Mariota is likely to see a drop in his ownership after a complete dud against the Panthers, but that should've been expected. The Panthers have returned to being one of the NFL's prime defenses, and Mariota is a rookie on a bad […]
Opportunity Arises for Mark Sanchez Once Again
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It’s Mark Sanchez time in Philadelphia. He played pretty darn good last season after taking over for Nick Foles. On the other hand, much like the Eagles as a whole this season, he didn’t look anything like last year’s version when he came on […]
Ryan Fitzpatrick Keeps Producing Despite Thumb Injury
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I was a bit scared off from Fitzpatrick’s thumb ligament issue, but he has continued to put up fantasy points in his past two games. Over the bye, he had surgery to repair the ligaments, but he is expected to play against the […]
Alex Smith Continues to Play Mistake-Free Football
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I’m hopping back on the Alex Smith train this week. Smith exceeded expectations against the Denver defense this week. Peyton Manning and Charcandrick West helped him out a lot -- but at the end of the day, he had solid points. He has […]

Week 11 QB Waiver Wire & Streamers: Alex Smith, Mark Sanchez, Ryan Fitzpatrick
Week 10 saw one big hit in Kirk Cousins and two misses with the rookie QBs. Jameis Winston did manage to get a late rushing touchdown. It saved his day from being awful, but it was still disappointing as far as my standards for this column. I gambled on Marcus Mariota, knowing I didn’t like […]
