The Browns' defense […]

Kirk Cousins Has Difficult Test Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will have a tough matchup against the Bears on Monday Night Football in Week 10.

Carson Wentz Could Be Set Up For A Solid Week 10

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz hasn't been his usual self this season and has saved some of his fantasy performances by scoring touchdowns on the ground.

Hard To Trust Nick Foles In Week 10

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles will be tough to trust in fantasy despite a favorable matchup in Week 10 against the Vikings.

Aaron Rodgers Gets Another Dynamite Matchup

Matthew Stafford A Full Participant Wednesday

Ryan Tannehill Faces Tough Test Against Colts

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrown for over 250 yards only twice in eight starts but has tossed multiple touchdown passes seven times, and Tennessee's quarterback is likely to remain reliant on touchdowns for his Week 10 value against a Colts Defense that ranks as the third-stingiest defense in both passing yards (206.4) and […]

This series continues into its ninth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 9, we saw performances such as the Minnesota Vikings wide receivers combining for five receptions, Josh Allen throwing for 415 yards, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 9's Studs Turned Duds

The outdated thought in fantasy was that running backs carry the top end of a team, while the depth of wide receiver allowed managers to use many more options from that position. The latter remains true, but the former no longer is. There is no top end of the running back position. In Week 9, […]

The Cut List (Week 10) - Time to Let Go?

Week 9 was an all-around awful one for me from a fantasy/gambling perspective, so I'm a little ticked off as I settle in to write this week's edition of the Cut List.
