The Detroit Lions are a bad football team who are struggling in every facet of the game, yet I'm still hopeful that Megatron can turn it around somewhat. I still think you're stuck with owning him for the rest of the way barring an owner in your league who believes in his draft-day value. Having […]

"Baby Gronk" has thoroughly disappointed his fantasy owners through five weeks, hauling in just 24 catches for 328 yards and two touchdowns (both of which came in a Week 1 outburst). The main red flag that Kelce has going forward is the same one that Alex Smith has to deal with--the Chiefs' run game isn't […]

As Russell Wilson has gone, so has Jimmy Graham. He has given investors an alarmingly low return (I had him go in the second round in one of my leagues) and is showing no signs of picking things up. With Marshawn Lynch out the last two weeks we should have seen at least some increased production […]

Smith is going to struggle without Jamaal Charles, plain and simple. As soon as Charles left the game in Week 5, the Bears stepped up the blitz and ended up shutting Smith down, as he was only able to muster 181 passing yards over the course of the game. Charcandrick West and Knile Davis will […]

The rookie phenom has been better than anticipated in the early stages of his professional career, but last week he seemed mortal against an above-average Bills defense. Mariota was only able to put up 187 yards through the air with no touchdowns and one very bad interception. He completed 21 of 32 passes, but that […]

Wilson has just barely been maintaining his status as a startable QB1 in 2015, thanks in large part to depressed passing numbers. With Jimmy Graham brought in to be the receiving weapon that Wilson needed, many had high expectations for the Seahawks passing game headed into the season. However, things have headed in the exact opposite […]

I can't believe I'm actually adding Antonio Brown to my list of players with warning signals, but given the amount of panic since Michael Vick came into the starting lineup I think there are plenty of owners out there who need some reassurance. With Vick under center, Brown has been a massive disappointment. Even with that in mind, […]

Even with Andrew Luck missing another game last week, T.Y. Hilton managed to be productive to the tune of five receptions for 88 yards. With Luck tentatively expected to play this week in a Sunday night game against the Patriots, it's looking like the breakout is coming soon. I'm optimistic that this is the last time […]

The Buccaneers were so bad passing the ball last week that I'm actually just going pretend last week didn't even happen. Plus, when you have Doug Martin running all over the Jacksonville defense, why bother passing in the first place? The team is on bye this week so it'll be a while before we have […]

It would appear as if the Philadelphia Eagles are beginning to turn the corner on the offensive side of the ball with back-to-back weeks of solid production in both the passing game and ground attack. We're at the point with the Eagles where it's clear they are going to spread the ball around significantly, so much […]

Brandon Marshall says Chris Ivory is the best running back in the NFL; the numbers say otherwise. Ivory had just five 100-yard showings in 39 games leading up to his Week 3 demolition of the Dolphins' defense. His career game put him on the "elite" radar of many fantasy owners, so now is the time […]

Barnidge had another impressive showing in Week 5 against the Ravens, giving him 319 yards and three touchdowns over the last three games. The 30-year-old Barnidge had three career touchdowns prior to this season, so this emergence came out of nowhere. Catching passes from someone as unpredictable as Josh McCown, Barnidge could disappear as quickly […]

The Bengals are rolling, largely due to the superb play of quarterback Andy Dalton. Cincinnati's quarterback has posted at least 300 yards in each of his last three games - he only eclipsed the 300-yard mark three times in all of 2014. After five weeks, Dalton has the second most passing yards (1,518) and the […]

Maclin is finally being used correctly in Kansas City. The former Eagles wideout has been targeted double-digit times in three straight weeks,and has collected 374 yards over that span. Maclin broke out in 2014, finishing ninth in the NFL with 1,318 yards. Now, five weeks into his first year with the Chiefs, Maclin is sixth […]

Randle has been inconsistent over the course of the first five weeks, collecting 87 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3, but just 26 yards on 11 carries in Week 3. The Cowboys head into their bye week having lost three straight games, and have announced that recently signed Christine Michael may be named the […]
