Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams Upgraded to Probable
With some nice depth on the team, the Green Bay Packers may have been served well by backup RB James Starks and WR Ty Montgomery. In some very positive news for the Packers, however, both RB Eddie Lacy and WR Davante Adams have been upgraded from questionable to probable, after some concern and hand-wringing throughout the week. […]
Chris Ivory Likely In, Eric Decker Out Against The Eagles
According to Ian Rapoport, Chris Ivory expects to play in Week 3 and Eric Decker is out with a PCL sprain at home against the Philadelphia Eagles today. With Ivory likely to play, Bilal Powell is not as intriguing of a fantasy option anymore and he should be relegated to the bench or waiver wire. […]
Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams Still Questionable for Week 3
As of the time of this writing, both Eddie Lacy and Davante Adams are still listed as questionable for their Week 3 matchups with the Kansas City Chiefs. Both players sustained ankle injuries in Week 2 versus the Seahawks, and were forced to leave the game. Adams eventually returned on a limited basis, but Lacy remained out […]

Week 3 Booms and Busts: Late Games
Week Three Booms QB Russell Wilson, SEA: The Seahawks are much better than their 0-2 record indicates. The Bears are not. Chicago has been gashed for seven passing touchdowns already this season, which is worst in the league. Enter a Seattle passing attack still looking to incorporate it's new, shiny toy in Jimmy Graham. The Seahawks […]
Week 3 Boom/Bust Candidates for Early Games
By now you're likely starting to get a feel for your team, but as the first two weeks have shown, just about everything we think we know is wrong. DeMarco Murray and Andrew Luck have been disappointing, Alfred Morris is being replaced, Jimmy Graham is barely being targeted, Peyton Manning can't throw anymore and Adrian […]
Stevie Johnson (WR, SD) - Week 3 Matchups Analysis
Somewhat of a surprise starter in San Diego after a ho-hum season at San Francisco, Stevie Johnson seems to have regained the form that lead him to three straight thousand yard seasons with the Bills. He’s converting targets to receptions at an excellent rate (11 catches on 12 targets), and has managed to snag a […]
Devin Funchess (WR, CAR) - Sneaky Week 3 Adds
A fantasy darling in the offseason after the Kelvin Benjamin injury, it's time for Funchess to show a sign of being able to be a usable receiver, or we may need to forget his name for the rest of the season. He's done virtually nothing up to this point, but head coach Ron Rivera said […]
Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts
I wrote Beasley up here last week, and I'm doing so again. Even after the four catch for 14 yard day against the Eagles in Week 2, I'm a believer. Listen - Dez Bryant is out, Jason Witten is hurt, and Brandon Weeden is going to need to hit some short quick hitting routes to get in a […]
Brandon Marshall (WR, NYJ) - Week 3 Lineup Booms
In pure talent terms, Brandon Marshall may be a top 10 NFL wide receiver. Coming into the 2015 season though, some were concerned the injuries may have added up - and even more analysts were concerned about his role on a bad offense. Through the first two weeks, the Jets offense has performed quite well […]
Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Week 3 Lineup Busts?
Two words: Revis Island. Not only does the Eagles offense look terrible so far this season, they’ll be headed to Metlife Stadium to face one of the league’s better looking defenses. Jordan Matthews has had a solid start to the season, so chances are good that you won’t bench him. And I understand that, especially […]
Andre Johnson (WR, IND) - Week 3 Lineup Busts
Andre Johnson is starting to look like a fixture on the bust list this season. Drafted as a WR2 in most formats, Johnson has looked slow and uninspiring thus far. It appears that wide receiver Donte Moncrief is poised to move ahead of the veteran receiver for good, dropping Johnson to the number four option on […]
T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals
Speaking of the Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck’s primary wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is off to a slow start as well. A large part of that, perhaps even most of it, has been due to the fact that Hilton has been banged up to start the year. He entered week one questionable with a concussion, which […]
Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - Week 3 Lineup Busts
After an impressive preseason connecting with Alex Smith, people thought that the Chiefs finally found a wide receiver in Maclin that could lead them into the end zone for the first time in more than a year. Well after two weeks, things haven't exactly worked out as planned, as Maclin has averaged only 54.5 yards per […]
John Brown (WR, ARI) - Week 3 Lineup Booms
The preseason hype machine hasn't exactly blown up as people would have liked, but that is no fault of Brown's. The Arizona receiver has been a playmaker for the Cardinals so far, catching Carson Palmer's eye to become second on the team in targets. Some of his big plays have been pass interference calls that led […]
Sammy Watkins (WR, BUF) - Week 3 Lineup Booms
The first receiver taken in last year's stacked NFL Draft class has had a rough start to his 2015 campaign. He was shutout against Vontae Davis and the Colts in Week 1 and salvaged Week 2's contest against the Patriots with a late 24-yard touchdown. Luckily for Watkins, he will go from facing teams coached […]
Ted Ginn (WR, CAR) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers
Seeing "NO" (New Orleans) as the opponent should scream "YES" to you. Don't get me wrong, if it was that lovely of a play it probably wouldn't be in this article, but Ted Ginn Jr. represents a true dice roll GPP play. If Cam Newton finds him on a deep strike, you're sitting pretty. Ginn Jr. […]
Allen Hurns (WR, JAC) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers
People are going to be (appropriately) all over Allen Robinson, so you might be able to swerve the pack by taking a shot with Hurns in a game that should see Jacksonville needing to throw the ball early and often. The strange thing is that the Patriots defense has actually been pretty darn bad, although […]
Week 3 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays
We're back in the mines for Week 3! Last week we actually hit on a lot more DraftKings lineup picks than I would expect for deeper sleeper plays, with Crockett Gillmore being the best find. Weeks 1 and 2 have come and gone, and now we've got two data points really weighing on everyone's mind. […]
Five Players Sending Out Warning Signals
Last week we took a look at five players who might be sending out warning signals for what’s to come for the rest of the season. With a second game under everyone’s belt, there are some players who have unfortunately disappointed us twice in a row. It’s in this two-to-three week range where you’ll most […]
The Daily Divide: Week Three DFS
Daily Divide: Week Three Matt and Nathan each offer Week 3 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Matt probably makes more good points than Nathan though, over the long […]
Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Sell Highs?
Fitzgerald is a completely different WR when Carson Palmer is under center, and the star receiver’s trio of TD’s last Sunday can attest to that. He’s currently the fourth highest scoring WR in fantasy, and it certainly seems as if we are seeing the Fitzgerald of old this year, but expectations may be a bit […]
English Premier League Transfer Targets: Matchday Seven
Once again, Dan looks at the more enticing transfer targets in the English Premier League for fantasy managers as week 7 approaches. Asmir Begovic – Goalkeeper – Chelsea – 5.0m Season Stats: 307 Minutes Played, 1 Clean Sheet, 7 Goals Conceded, 17 Saves Premier League Points: 13 (T-18th Ranked Goalkeeper) Week 7 Fixture: (A) vs. Newcastle: […]
Barclay's Premier League Week 7 - Saturday Previews And Predictions.
It's week 7 of the EPL and, unlike last week's warning as to a Champions League hangover plus our prediction that West Ham would take all three points at Manchester City, no similar warnings from the midweek League Cup action where most EPL sides make changes and rest up varying members of their first team squads. This week […]
Dez Bryant (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows
In a downright shot to the heart for his owners, Bryant went down in Week 1 with a broken bone in his foot that will likely cost him most of the season. Despite that injury, and despite the fact that we won’t see Bryant until around Thanksgiving, the star Dallas WR is actually a solid […]
Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows
If you glanced at the box score after the Buccaneers’ tilt with the Saints on Sunday, you likely figured Evans had sat out another week to rest his ailing hamstring. He didn’t. Evans played on two-thirds of snaps in his 2015 debut on Sunday, yet saw only a few targets and failed to reel in […]
2015 Fantasy Football Week 3: Risers and Fallers From Week 2
Two weeks are now in the books, and there’s more than enough to react to. Most importantly, keep your wits about you--look at who each team has gone against and who they’re about to face. For instance, Lamar Miller is a pretty clear “faller” due to his performance and now an injury, but he gets […]

Welcome to our Week 3 buy low / sell high, where we look to provide fantasy football trade advice. With Week 2 now in the books, breakouts and busts are beginning to surface as teams begin to approach mid-season form. Some of those busts will stay busts, but others could see rapid turn-arounds. Inversely, some of […]
