Saquon Barkley Totals 146 Yards In Overtime Win

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley carried the ball 24 times for 125 yards and added 21 receiving yards in the Giants 30-27 overtime stunner over the Bears. The fantastic rookie has himself another 100-plus yards from scrimmage game and put the offense on his back at times. Barkley wasn't able to hit the […]

Robert Griffin III Attempts First Passes Of Season

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III completed two of four passes for 21 yards in Sunday's win over the Falcons. Griffin entered the game after starter Lamar Jackson was forced to leave the contest as a result of receiving a kick to the head in the third quarter. The seventh-year pro, who hadn't thrown a […]

Andrew Luck Comes Back Down to Earth in Loss

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 33 of his 52 passes for 248 yards and an interception in a 0-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The end of Luck's streak of eight consecutive games with at least three touchdown passes was the least of fantasy owners worries, as his heavy pass volume failed […]

Cam Newton Throws Four Interceptions In Loss

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton threw four interceptions in his team's surprise loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Newton continued his streak of throwing multiple touchdowns finishing the game with 28 completions for 300 yards from 41 attempts throwing two interceptions and four interceptions. Newton also rushed for 33 yards in the game, which improved […]

Aaron Rodgers Disappoints In Consecutive Games

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for only 233 yards on 31-for-50 passing with one touchdown in a Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. This was the second lackluster performance from Rodgers in as many weeks. Green Bay’s offense has been dysfunctional for years but Rodgers has always found a way to overcome […]

Ryan Tannehill Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 13

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had a big day in Miami's 21-17 win over Buffalo in Week 13. Tannehill went 16-for-124 passing for 137 yards and three touchdowns along with one interception. His yardage total is rather underwhelming, but the three touchdowns certainly help offset the low yardage and pass volume. Tannehill has been inconsistent […]

Sam Darnold Missing Another Game

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) remains inactive for Week 13 against the Titans. Darnold returned to practice this week and is likely return to the starting role in Week 14. Veteran journeyman Josh McCown will receive another start but has a low ceiling in this mediocre offense and is a low-end QB2 […]

Joe Flacco, Lamar Jackson Could Split Work In Week 14

With Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) expected to be ready to play in Week 14 against the Chiefs, head coach John Harbaugh could use both Flacco and rookie Lamar Jackson under center next week. Flacco was hot to start the year but has cooled off significantly and hasn't played since Nov. 4. Even if […]

Randall Cobb, David Bakhtiari Active

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) are both active in Week 13 against the Cardinals. Cobb returns with the Packers currently out of playoff contention. He has done next to nothing since the season opener and may be phased out of three-receiver sets with rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling […]

Joe Flacco Inactive In Week 13

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is inactive for Week 13 against the Falcons. It's expected after he was designated as doubtful to play. Rookie Lamar Jackson will get another start and has QB1 upside due to his scrambling ability in a fine matchup. If Jackson leads Baltimore to another win, the coaching staff will […]

Marvin Lewis' Future In Doubt

The status of Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis heading into the 2019 season is in doubt. The Bengals aren't committed to Lewis beyond this season, as he's believed to have signed a one-year deal with an option for the 2019 season last year. Lewis could move to the front office and have Hue Jackson […]

Andy Dalton To Return To Cincy In 2019

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb), whose season has ended, is expected to return to the team in 2019, as sources say his thumb surgery won't affect his future with the club. Dalton finished the 2018 season with 2,566 yards, a 61.9 completion percentage, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions on 365 pass attempts. The Bengals […]

Bears Hoping Mitch Trubisky Returns Next Week

The Chicago Bears are hopeful that quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) will return to face the Rams in Week 14. Trubisky will miss another game in Week 13 against the Giants, with Chase Daniel making his second straight start. Daniel is a low-end QB2 for those desperate in two-QB leagues. Trubisky has improved in his second […]

Bye weeks are over. The fantasy playoffs are just around the corner. This crunch time for you, readers, and one goal of crunch time is to avoid making any egregious mistakes.

Week 13 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The Washington Redskins (6-5) head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles (5-6) Monday night, and though the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles still appear hungover, while the Redskins optics went down the drain with Alex Smith, this game still provides a surprisingly ample level of intrigue. For starters, the result looms heavy over crowning […]

Jets Planning To Start Josh McCown Against Titans

The New York Jets are fully committed to making sure rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is 100 percent healthy when he returns, so sources are saying that the team plans to start Josh McCown again in Week 13 against the Titans. Darnold may do some work in pregame activities, but McCown is the likely starter. […]

Josh Allen Is A Sleeper Play In Week 13

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will look to continue making progress in his development against the Dolphins in Week 13. The 6-foot-5 rookie is coming off one of his best performances of the season against Jacksonville last week, thanks in large part to the work he did with his legs. Against the Jaguars, he compiled […]

Deshaun Watson Should See Success Against Browns

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson hasn't been throwing for video-game yards like many expected heading into his second NFL campaign, but he's still been an effective quarterback and should put up strong numbers against the Browns on Sunday. Watson hasn't thrown a pick in four of the last five games and has started to make […]

Week 13 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Week 13 is here with a bang! We are past all the byes and we are back to just having the one game on a Thursday. Unfortunately the Saints high flying offense was somewhat lost to the week against a very good Dallas defense. The good news is that other high flying offenses in the […]

Case Keenum Finds Himself in QB Heaven

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum has become a forgotten man among fantasy owners. However, a matchup with a Bengals team which has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing QBs should be more than enough to elicit a few memories, circa 2017. Keenum sits 29th at the position in fantasy points per game - while […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 13 Fantasy Football Picks

If you're like me, and I pray for your soul that you are not, then you tend to occasionally stray from the logical way of thinking and revert to subjective decision-making processes. For example, I just picked up Carlos Hyde in the RotoBaller Experts League because I have Melvin Gordon and now need to fill […]

Russell Wilson A Solid QB1 Against SF

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson looked excellent on the game-winning drive against Carolina last week, and he should continue his dominance over the 49ers this week at home. Wilson is 10-2 in his career against San Francisco, and Seattle is a heavy favorite to top them once again. Wilson is also in the midst of […]

Ryan Tannehill A Poor Option In Week 13

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a poor option in a Week 13 matchup with Buffalo. Tannehill put up 17.56 points in standard scoring last week against Indianapolis, his first game since Week 5 because of a shoulder injury. He draws a much tougher matchup this week, as the Bills have allowed the fewest points […]

Philip Rivers Facing A Tougher Task

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers lit up the box score last week when he destroyed the Cardinals, but he'll have a tougher go of it against Pittsburgh this Sunday. Rivers has been rolling as a dark-horse MVP candidate as he's racked up 26 touchdowns and more than 3,100 yards this season, but the Steelers […]
