Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Marlon Mack, Philip Lindsay, John Brown

It all comes down to this for millions of fantasy football players, well, unless your league thinks having its Super Bowl on Week 17 when half the league rests its star players is a good idea. If you are still alive in your fantasy league and on the verge of winning a championship, congratulations to […]

Week 16 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

It is likely championship week for most of you, which means everything is on the line. Hopefully, many of you have a team set in place and do not need streaming options, but if you are here reading this article, it is likely you need some help at some position. My goal is to provide […]

Tom Brady Guides Patriots To Division Title

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 26 of 33 passes for 271 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 24-17 win over the Bills. The victory locked up the division title in the AFC East for the 11th year in a row for New England and Brady played his sharpest game in over a […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Leads Niners To Comeback Win

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo managed to lead his team to a comeback win over a relentless Rams Defense in Week 16. Garoppolo did throw a touchdown but struggled by also tossing two interceptions while completing only 59.3 percent of his passes. Despite having arguably one of his worst outings of the year from […]

Jared Goff Delivers Despite Loss

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff played pretty well for fantasy owners in Week 16, despite the 34-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was 27-for-46 for 323 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. What was good for fantasy owners this week might not be so ripe next week because they were eliminated from […]

Jameis Winston Throws Four Picks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston finished with 335 yards and four picks during the loss to the Texans on Saturday. He also had a touchdown toss and 16 yards off of two carries. Despite Winston being without both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Mike Evans (hamstring), the 25-year-old was still able to produce at least […]

Josh Allen Turns In A Solid Outing In Week 16

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a less-than-stellar matchup in Week 16, but he was able to turn in a productive fantasy outing regardless of the New England Patriots Defense. He finished 13 of 26 for 208 yards and two touchdowns. He also added seven carries for 43 yards. In standard-scoring formats, that was good […]

Deshaun Watson Disappoints In Week 16

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson wasn't able to get anything going during Saturday's win over Tampa Bay. Watson fell victim to an uncharacteristically efficient Buccaneers Defense that came away with five sacks on the day, while also limiting him to just 184 yards on 19-for-32 passing. He also threw an interception, his fifth in his […]

Jacoby Brissett Has A Great Matchup In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been struggling as of late, but he has the chance to bounce back in Week 16. The Carolina Panthers have allowed the fourth-most points per game this season, and their passing defense hasn't exactly been elite. He got wide receiver T.Y. Hilton back last week, but that was in […]

Russell Wilson Lines Up For Another Big Game

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will have the chance to light it up for the home crowd before Christmas this week when he faces off against an Arizona defense that is the worst in the league against the pass. The Cardinals have allowed more passing yards and fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks than any other […]

Buccaneers To Bring Back Jameis Winston In 2020

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to bring back quarterback Jameis Winston for the 2020 season, according to sources. He's slated to get tagged in some form, but the exact type is unknown. The former No. 1 overall pick has led the Buccaneers to four straight wins and has gone over 400 yards passing in […]

Aaron Rodgers A Risky Start Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will face the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial Week 16 divisional matchup. For all his criticisms this year as a fantasy QB, Rodgers currently sits as NFL.com's QB8 on the year. Rodgers was sharp last week against the Bears stingy defense- though the stat sheet won't show it- considering […]

Kirk Cousins Is A High-End QB2 Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has played very well this season, but it hasn't always translated to fantasy success. The Vikings remain a run-oriented team and have blown a lot of teams out, meaning Cousins hasn't needed to throw much in a number of contests. Though Mike Boone is no slouch, the likely absence of […]

QB vs Pass Rush Matchups To Watch - Week 16

Week 16 is here, and fantasy championships are on the line. Some teams head into the fantasy finals as big favorites but others are scrapping to pull off a big win as underdogs. Real teams start at quarterback, and the position is pretty important for fantasy as well. Quarterbacks have changed the game for fantasy […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Be Efficient in Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has struggled in three of his last four games coming into Week 16. However, Mahomes is coming off a 340 yard performance against the Denver Broncos. He's set to do battle against the Chicago Bears Defense in Week 16. The Bears defense has been solid against quarterbacks, but Mahomes […]

Kyler Murray Should Ride The Pine

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray really hit a wall the last five weeks after he was a low-end QB1 for much of the season. He's 21st in fantasy points during the stretch as he threw for 726 yards, five scores and five picks while rushing 26 times for 153 yards and two scores. The Seattle […]

Week 16 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

We're finally here. Week 16. The week that all fantasy owners envisioned themselves playing in for a fantasy title when they were drafting their teams this Fall. If you were lucky enough to make it this far, kudos to you. It surely took plenty of savvy waiver wire pickups and an opportunistic trade or two […]

Philip Rivers Gets One More Big Chance

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers will get one more chance for a huge week when he faces off against the Raiders this week. There aren't really any excuses for him to struggle this time around. His skill players are healthy, Oakland's defense is horrifically bad against opposing quarterbacks, and it's at "home" if fans […]

Dak Prescott Set To Start Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) was limited in practice all week, but he's not being listed on the final injury report for Week 16 against the Eagles in a game that essentially will crown the winner as the NFC East champion, according to a source. Prescott will start on Sunday, and while he might […]

Devlin Hodges Not An Option Against Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges isn't worthy of a start in your fantasy championship in Week 16. A road matchup with the Jets is a positive one, but coming off a four-interception performance last week, Hodges is treading on thin ice as the starter in Pittsburgh. It might only take one mistake for head coach Mike […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 16

Every once in a while, the schedule gods look down and gift us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. After a grueling 15 weeks and a rollercoaster filled with ups and downs, and even more downs, it's time for all of the league's biggest losers to put up or shut up in […]

Gardner Minshew Has Favorable Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew has been solid since retaking the starting job for the Jags, throwing three touchdowns and no interceptions in the last two games. He gets a solid matchup on Sunday against a Falcons squad that's allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. That doesn't mean […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Keeps Riding The Roller Coaster

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo resumes his position as a middling QB2 in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Jimmy G faceplanted in Week 15 at home, managing just 200 yards and a touchdown against the lowly Atlanta Falcons. The volatile Garoppolo faces a similarly bipolar Rams Defense that ranks 11th overall against […]

Dwayne Haskins Not In Play For Week 16

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins has arguably the most favorable matchup of his young career on the docket in a home bout with the Giants this week. The Giants are the seventh-worst defense in the NFL in terms of passing yards allowed and touchdown rate on opposing pass attempts. Unfortunately, Haskins hasn't given fantasy owners […]
