Dak Prescott Looking For A Strong Week 2 Performance

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a fantasy QB1 every time he takes the field, even in a tough Week 2 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Hear me out. This is the craziest and riskiest of bets you'll be going for this week, but it could very well pay off if only next weekend. After a quarter of play and already into the second one, starter QB Ryan Fitzpatrick […]

Carson Wentz (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Carson Wentz's 2020 season was bad. Bad for him, bad for you if he was ever in your lineup, and generally bad for public health. Philly chose to trade him and now he's an Indianapolis Colt, and I have to say, that melts away […]

The Cut List - Time To Let Go? Week 2

Week 1 just wrapped up and it's always hard not to overreact to what we saw opening weekend, but nonetheless, decisions must be made.

Dustin Hopkins A Streaming Option In Week 2

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins could be a strong streaming option in Week 2 against the New York Giants. Hopkins made three out of four field goals in Week 1, one of which was a 48-yarder. With Taylor Heinicke at quarterback, the Washington offense should be held to more field goal attempts than they […]

Logan Thomas A Mid-Range TE1 In Week 2

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas has the look of a solid starting option for fantasy managers in Week 2 against the New York Giants, who just gave up 10 catches for 85 yards and a touchdown to the Denver Broncos tight ends in their season opener.
