FAAB Auction Bidding – Week 5 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

We now find ourselves passing the quarter-mile marker in this fantasy football race (unless you play in a 17 week league and want to get technical on me), and the standings are really starting to take shape. Week 4 does not appear to be bringing gifts for those in need, though that's not to say […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers

Waiver Wire Adds for Week Five The fourth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Jets toppled the Dolphins in London, while the Jay Cutler returned to the Bears to keep them from falling to the Raiders. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 4 was filled with some star-studded […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire: Week 5 Pickups & Adds

Let's keep on keeping on as we head into Week 5 of the NFL season. As the bye weeks begin, there's no better time to hit the waiver wire hard, especially at the wide receiver position. With the Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets all on bye, it means that there are likely a […]

Ryan Mallett: Don't Make the Same Mistake Houston Is Making

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien has announced that his team will stick with Ryan Mallett under center despite benching him for Brian Hoyer against the Atlanta Falcons in week 4. "He's our starting quarterback. [But] he needs to do better," O'Brien said. Just because the Texans are sticking with Mallett for another week doesn't […]

Torrey Smith: Stick With Him or Drop Him?

Even when Torrey Smith was with the Baltimore Ravens he was a boom or bust wide receiver. He has never had the best hands, but he's always been a threat to score from anywhere on the field - especially when his quarterback can throw the deep ball. But through four games, the now San Francisco […]

DeSean Jackson Ready to Return?

DeSean Jackson owners have been understandably upset with him thus far this season. The speedy wide receiver suffered a hamstring in week 1 and hasn't returned to the football field ever since. But now that the team will likely be without Jordan Reed in week 5, the team is ready to put Jackson back out […]

Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: All the hype was pointed towards Saints receivers Brandon Coleman and Brandon Cooks during the offseason. Meanwhile, Willie Snead has somehow managed to outdo them both so far in the 2015 fantasy football season. Snead currently leads the team in yardage (240 receiving yards), despite […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman's name might bring up a lot of questions like "who is that?" - but rest assured, this is a player with some fantasy relevance. Inman was picked up by the Chargers from the CFL where he played two seasons that accumulated some not-so-impressive […]

Tavon Austin (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not going to pretend that Tavon Austin deserves to be rostered but he should be considered. With the lacking amount of real talent on the Rams receiving squad, Tavon Austin stands out as the most obviously "talented" of the group. Essentially the argument for […]

Philip Rivers, Vincent Jackson, Sam Bradford - Week 4 Fantasy Studs

Aside from Devonta Freeman, there were a few other players who put up big points in Week 4 for fantasy football owners. Let's take a look at the top performers, assuming PPR formats and six-point touchdown scoring. Philip Rivers had a great game, completing 23-of-38 pass attempts for 358 passing yards and three touchdowns. That […]

La Liga - The Season So Far

La Liga heads into the International break after seven rounds of matches and, although it is too early to come to any definitive conclusions, there is enough evidence so far to get a glimpse into how the Spanish season is evolving. Here is a concise recap of the more significant events from the first seven […]

Keep an Eye on Jaelen Strong With Cecil Shorts Out

It may be time for Houston Texans third-round draft pick Jaelen Strong to step up at wide receiver after Cecil Shorts dislocated his left shoulder on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. In addition to Shorts being out for an undetermined amount of time, receiver Nate Washington is dealing with a hamstring injury. Strong has a […]

Mike Evans Back On Track?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans showed last week he can be as good as last year with a solid seven catches for 101 yards. This coming off a Week 2 performance in which he was held without a reception. Jameis Winston targeted Evans 17 times on the day, easily the highest on the […]

Eric Decker Active, Get Him In Your Fantasy Lineups

Eric Decker has officially been declared active for today's Week 4 game against the Miami Dolphins. This is great news for both the New York Jets, and fantasy football owners as well. If you own Decker, you should be starting him in any format - especially those in PPR leagues. He has shown he is […]

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

If it wasn’t for the Patriots steamrolling opposing defenses, we’d be talking a lot more about how good the Bengals offense has been this season. They’ve been dynamic down the field with 16 passes of 20+ yards on the season. Only the Cardinals have more through three games. Marvin Jones is a huge part of […]

Ty Montgomery (WR, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While Davante Adams owners were disappointed with his MNF dud (two targets, zero catches, left early after re-aggravating his ankle), WR-needy owners were thrilled to see a potential opening in the high-powered Green Bay offense. The main beneficiary would be Ty Montgomery, who […]

Odell Beckham, Randall Cobb - Week 4 Fantasy Dominators

Odell Beckham Jr. (at BUF) Pairing Odell Beckham Jr. with Eli Manning this week makes for a great combination in GPP formats. Beckham is the second most expensive WR on the board this week, but for good reason. So far this season, he has 19 receptions for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns. As I mentioned […]

Amari Cooper (WR, OAK) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Ranking in the top 10 in passing attempts, passing yards, and total offense per game, Oakland’s offense has really raced out of the gate. Top four draft pick and rookie phenom Amari Cooper has been a big part of that, with 31 targets already on the year. Cooper has been simply magnificent the last two […]

Michael Crabtree (WR, OAK) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

I am recommending Michael Crabtree two weeks in a row. Before you click that x button in the upper right hand side of your screen, allow me to explain. Crabtree was definitely disappointing in his last game against the Cleveland Browns, catching only four balls for 36 yards. However, he gets a fantastic matchup against […]

My Top 10 Potential Busts for Week 4

Listen, not every column can be sunshine and rainbows.  We can tell you all about how Julio Jones will score 30 points because he's Julio Jones and of course he will.  Sometimes, you just have to face the grim reality that the players you drafted aren't as good as you thought they'd be (for me, […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 4)

After a miserable week 2, I bounced back going four for four in my picks this past week. All the big favorites won, with a couple small underdogs winning on the road. This the first week of the NFL season where BYEs start coming into play, with New England and Tennessee getting the week off. […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 4: Cameron Artis-Payne, Cecil Shorts, Gary Barnidge

Another week in and I hope everyone is doing better than me in their fantasy leagues this season. Going forward, I now have Dez Bryant, LeSean McCoy and Ben Roethlisberger riding the bench for at least the next couple weeks. I guess it was a good thing I traded for Larry Fitzgerald. If you are […]

Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Jordan Matthews - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Jordan Matthews, WR, Eagles Don’t be discouraged by last week’s dud, Jordan Matthews was stuck on Revis Island. This week, against a much more forgiving Redskins passing defense, expect Matthews to return to his Week 1 and Week 2 form. The Skins have surrendered four touchdowns and 380 yards to receivers in three games. Matthews will be […]

Marvin Jones a Must-Add for Week 4?

Also in his fourth season, Marvin Jones appears to have surpassed Mohamed Sanu as the second wide receiver in Cincinnati behind A.J. Green. Jones grabbed five of his eight targets on Sunday, collecting 94 yards and a touchdown in the process. If Andy Dalton continues to play as well as he did in Week against […]

Jarvis Landry, Vincent Jackson - Week 4 WR Lineup Busts?

Jarvis Landry, WR, Dolphins Revis Island is where No. 1 receivers go to die for a week, and this time around it’s Jarvis Landry’s turn. He still has not reached the end zone this season and is beginning to lose targets to Rishard Matthews. Landry will likely have big games down the road, but in […]

Five Players Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 4

Between the injury bug and a slew of under-performing stars, the first three weeks of the NFL season have been rather troublesome. This week’s warning signals piece is going to focus largely on players we’ve talked about already and whether or not it’s officially time to panic. There are also a few new names on […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Week 4 Lineup Booms

Speaking of that DVOA stat, the Bills are 20th against #2 receivers versus being ranked 3rd best against #1 receivers. Now obviously I'm not saying Odell Beckham Jr. is a bad play, that guy is matchup-proof, but with Victor Cruz ailing again and the Giants being thin at wide receiver, Randle has to step up. […]

Week 4 Wide Receiver Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Wide receivers are one of the most critical components, and a core building block, for all fantasy football teams. This is especially true in PPR formats, where fantasy owners are rewarded for every catch that a wide receiver makes. We are here to help you plan your wide receiver draft strategy, and to target the […]

Week 4 Booms and Busts: Late Games

As bye weeks begin around the NFL, it may take a little bit of extra digging to figure out how you will replace the players that are off in your lineup. I am here to try and steer you in the right direction, as I look at players that you may or may not be […]
