This is the perfect time to wheel and deal […]

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 4)

Talk about a surprise shootout in San Francisco! The Los Angeles Rams' Week 3 matchup against the 49ers last Thursday was an exciting rebound from a boring Texans-Bengals game, with quarterback Jared Goff leading the way to a thrilling 41-39 victory. Todd Gurley and Carlos Hyde each had 25-plus carries and two touchdowns in what […]

Week 4 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

It would be incorrect to say that fantasy football rewards patience without also noting that fantasy football just as often rewards haste. A successful fantasy owner is always looking for ways to improve his/her roster even while his/her team is winning handily. If you don’t pick up Week 3’s breakout player, your Week 4 opponent […]

Target Risers and Possible Breakouts for Week 4

Fantasy football can be a seesaw game of boxscore chasing, as throughout the season even the best players on our fantasy teams will likely take their lumps. In a feast or famine league, most players see a wide variance in their fantasy scoring from week-to-week, yet we ceaselessly hope to decipher whatever patterns we can […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag – Trust Your Big Guns

After a Week 1 where six teams failed to score double digit points and a Week 2 where the same amount of teams failed to even score a touchdown, Week 3 was the breath of fresh air that fans were waiting for in this young season (on the field). Exactly half of the games played finished […]

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have benched a player for somebody on your bench.

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football For Week 4

It really is remarkable each week in the NFL that more quarterbacks and other high-profile players are not injured on a weekly basis due to poor offensive line play. There are currently seven teams with a sack rate of over 10% after the conclusion of Week 3 including the Texans and Bengals, two of the […]

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers - Week 4

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 4): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

Week 3 was the week of the dogs. Eight of nine underdogs in the early games covered the spread and six of those teams won outright (not including Vikes because it went off as pick 'em). In total, the underdogs went 11-4. That's absurd. Vegas probably made a killing. The public's two favorite teams did not […]

Live And Learn - Reflecting on my DraftKings NFL Cash Game Lineups From Weeks 1-3

Hey RotoBallers! I hope you're all surviving yet another Tuesday-Wednesday without football to consume. I also hope your NFL DFS ventures have been more successful than mine so far. I've been playing NFL DFS on DraftKings once again this season, and through the first three weeks I feel as though I'm going backwards. So, I […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

It turns out that the unlikely Thursday night shootout between the Rams and 49ers was just a sign of things to come, as Week 3 opened with an odd 44-7 shellacking of the Ravens by the Jaguars in London. No, you’re not chasing Marcedes Lewis, but it’s nice to see Blake Bortles alive, eh? Seattle […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Fantasy Football Leagues (Week 4)

Another week has gone by and we finally--FINALLY--got one of those monster weeks where lots of players go off.

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 4 Pickups and Adds

Week 3 saw things revert back to normalcy in the fantasy world. Just kidding, it was a ****ing mess. Not so much in the running back world, though. The studs were mostly studs, except for the one that got to play the Jets. The early waiver wire pickups have mostly paid off, except the one […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 3 Fantasy Football Picks

There were some clear fantasy heroes that emerged out of nowhere in Week 2, such as Jermaine Kearse, Chris Thompson, and J.J. Nelson. Others were less surprising, such as Derek Carr, Tom Brady, and Rob Gronkowski. This week promises more unexpected performances, as 0-2 teams get desperate and scratch and claw for a victory. It […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 3

The surprises never stop coming, fantasy folks! Week 3 of the NFL season is underway with a bang after Los Angeles Rams tailback Todd Gurley helped his fantasy owners get off to good starts with 149 total yards and three touchdowns Thursday night (he should have scored five, by the way). Gurley was an above-the-radar boom, […]

Week 3 Dynasty Football Mailbag

Dynasty fantasy football is ever-changing; player values are consistently being altered due to not only their individual play, but also about the play of their teammates and over NFL situation. Take Andrew Luck for example, at one point he was considered by far the number one dynasty quarterback. Now with his shoulder injury taking longer […]

Fantasy Football Buy-Low and Sell-High Candidates for Week 3

It has been tougher for fantasy football owners to get yards and points out of their players this season than we expected. Defenses have been holding their own through the first two weeks of NFL action. Only five of the league’s 32 teams broke the 30-point plateau this past week, and only four did it […]

Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Week 3

There are two types of football articles; those based in analytics, and those based in opinion. Admittedly the opinion ones ("Does Rob Gronkowski Fully Appreciate Career Touchdown 69?") are a bit more fun and easier to write, and very few articles utilize one without the other, but it always come down to one of two things; can I prove […]

Top 10 Fantasy Lineup Busts - Week 3

Another week in the NFL and another disappointing fantasy performance by [insert the name of someone or, more likely, someones from your lineup here]. I saw on Reddit earlier that there's only been 11 100-yard receiving games through two weeks after there were 30 last season, so it's not just you who's thinking that something […]
