Week 4 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Well, last week's bust broke the trend of having a quarterback totally destroy my thinking, as Philip Rivers ended up being very good but not, like, astronomically so like when I predicted a Week 1 bust by Patrick Mahomes and a Week 2 bust by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Anyway, y'all -- it's already Week 4. For […]

Week 4 Consistency Reports - All Positions

Three weeks may still seem too early to be assessing consistency but if you look at the tables below you can see that already the best fantasy options are beginning to rise to the top. We can already see just how inconsistent tight ends and to some extent running backs are compared to wide receivers […]

How to Trade in Fantasy and Win at Life

One of the greatest, yet underutilized tools of roster management is trading. There are teams in every league with varying strengths, weaknesses and records and therefore unrealized trade opportunities to be had. But trading is infrequent in most leagues and I implore we join together as a powerful community of nerds to change the paradigm. […]

Should We Adjust Expectations for the Giants Offense?

This was the year the New York Giants were supposed to rebound on offense, Eli Manning was going to have one of the best seasons of his career, and the offensive line was going to create holes for the running game and protect Eli. With the trio of Odell Beckham Jr, Sterling Shepard, and Evan […]

Battle of the Rookie Quarterbacks

The 2018 NFL draft is part of football history. The reason that the 2018 draft will always be remembered is that it marked just the third time in NFL history that at least five quarterbacks were selected in the first round in the modern era (since 1960). 1983 and 1999 are the other draft classes […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 5 Edition)

Week four went better than expected. There was a major comeback in a high profile game and there was a shocking upset. On a week that wasn't expected to provide much entertainment value, it was a strong week. There are huge playoff implications for two games in week five. The winners of the Penn State/Ohio […]

Welcome to Week 5, my daily fantasy friends. DraftKings decided to roll similarly to last week for this Saturday's options, keeping it at a 10-game Main slate with a lot of household teams.

Marcus Mariota A Risky QB2 Play In Week 4

Although Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is set to start at home against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4, the major question surrounding him is his ability to grip the football. Just a week ago Blaine Gabbert started the game versus Jacksonville before being injured and replaced by Mariota. While head coach Mike Vrabel has […]

Case Keenum Enters the Streaming Conversation

Even if we take away his five interceptions, Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum would barely find himself among the Top-20 fantasy QBs this season. However, if there was ever a game to stream Keenum, it'd be at home, Monday night, against a team which has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing QBs. (And, has […]

Joe Flacco A Solid QB2 For Week 4

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is off to a great start to the 2018 campaign. He has tossed six touchdowns and twice posted quarterback ratings of 90 or above through the first three games, which is one-third of his last year's totals in each of those categories. The 33-year-old already has one more 300-yard game […]

Aaron Rodgers Looking For Fast Start Week 4

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that the team has to start fast in the first quarter this week. The Buffalo Bills defensive front is pretty strong, so the Packers need to establish the run game and get some quick passes to keep them on their heels. Rodgers was a full participant in practice […]

Russell Wilson With Another Tough Matchup

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson worked his magic last week against Dallas, but he'll need to dig deep to do it again when the Cardinals come to town. Wilson will be facing another fearsome pass rush that includes Chandler Jones, so he'll have to continue to focus on getting the ball out to his receivers […]

Derek Carr Still Looking For First Win Of The Year

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is looking to lead the team to their first win of the season versus the Browns on Sunday. Carr has been very efficient so far this season with a 76% completion rate, but only has two touchdowns to show for it. He has passed for over 300 yards twice, giving […]

Matt Ryan Could Find Himself In Another Shootout

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan could find himself in a shootout once again against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The Atlanta Falcons defense is so beaten up that the offense is going to have to score a lot of points if they want to win games. With all of the weapons Ryan has in the […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Be Excellent Option in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes set a new NFL record with 13 touchdowns through his first three games. Mahomes has been truly been excellent and basically unstoppable this season. There should be no reason that Mahomes slows down in Week 4 against a Broncos team that has struggled. Mahomes owners should be in for […]

Ryan Tannehill A QB2 Option In Week 4

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a middling option in Week 4 against the Patriots. New England has allowed the twelfth most passing yards in the NFL thus far, an average of 263 yards per game. New England's secondary was absolutely decimated in Week 2 by Blake Bortles of all quarterbacks, but otherwise look improved […]

Jared Goff Throws 5 TDs in Victory

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had an incredible game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Goff went 26-for-33 with 465 yards and five touchdowns without an interception in the 38-31 victory over the Vikings. Heading into that game the Vikings had only allowed their opponents to score one touchdown in each game. Clearly […]

Blake Bortles Could Have Rough Day Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles may be in for a rough outing against the New York Jets in Week 4. After failing to find the end zone in Week 3, Bortles takes on a Jets defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and held the Browns without a passing touchdown last […]

Stop The Slander and Buy Patriots

After another slow start in New England--specifically Tom Brady--people are saying the end is near. Stop The Slander! Buy up all the Patriots shares you can get, because the fantasy point train may be a bit delayed, but it is on its way. How many years of consistent productivity do you need? What assurances do […]

Deshaun Watson Presents Some Risk Against Colts

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has been an example of how fantasy football production and NFL production don't necessarily this season, with the second-year passer currently scoring as the QB11 despite some serious struggles for Houston's offense. This week, Watson gets a Colts defense that has played well against quarterbacks so far, limiting them to […]

Kirk Cousins Shines Despite Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 36-of-50 passing attempts for 422 yards and three touchdowns on Thursday night, tacking on 28 rushing yards on four attempts. In a night where the Vikings played from behind all game and eventually fell to the Los Angeles Rams 38-31, Cousins actually led the team in rushing yards. He […]

Philip Rivers A Must-Start In Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has looked every bit the part of a top-five fantasy quarterback through three weeks. At his current clip, he's on pace for 43 touchdowns and over 4,800 passing yards, both of which would become new career highs. After putting up strong numbers against a stifling Rams defense in Week […]

Jared Goff Could Struggle Against Vikings

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been reliable through the first three weeks of the season. However, he goes up against a Vikings defense on Thursday that has allowed only one touchdown pass in each game this season. It's not that Goff is a bad fantasy option, but he likely won't have as much […]
