Brandin Cooks is going to explode this week. I'm very confident about this, but of course, some things just do not turn out the way they should. Cooks has had a less than stellar performance so far this season, with 20 receptions for 215 yards and no touchdowns, but he should be able to break […]

Let's once again get the obvious out of the way. There is just no reason to avoid him against the Dallas Cowboys. Rob Gronkowski has over 100 receiving yards in two of his three games so far this season, and against the Steelers, he only missed that mark by six yards. He has scored in every […]

Carson Palmer is my favorite QB option this week on daily league sites because his price is lower than the other elite options. He is a lot cheaper than Tom Brady, and he has been extremely solid this entire season. Currently he has 1,155 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions on the season. The Detroit […]

Brady is our top ranked quarterback for this week, and for good reason. He has dominated in his three starts this season, recording 1,112 passing yards and nine touchdowns. He's arguably the safest quarterback option in the NFL right now for fantasy football owners, and he also has a great ceiling. He'll get a good matchup against […]

Let's state the obvious first. There is just no reason to avoid Le'Veon Bell this week against the San Diego Chargers, or any week for that matter. In his only two games so far this season, he has 191 rushing yards and two touchdowns. To add to those stats, he also has 14 receptions for […]

The Lions are in a spot where their secondary is really struggling. Their run defense has graded out at 13.3 according to PFF, while their pass coverage has gotten a -12.5 grade. Carson Palmer and company should open up their aerial assault, and the Lions should find themselves needing to throw. Eric Ebron is hurt, […]

Snead has come along nicely for New Orleans, and he ended up having the second most snaps for New Orleans' receivers in Week 4. He's seen six targets in each of the past three games for the Saints, and now appears to have leapfrogged Brandon Coleman and Marques Colston for playing time. Last week's game […]

Just have to throw this out, as Gates is back. He is not coming off of injury, and he has an established chemistry with Philip Rivers. The Chargers are banged up with Stevie Johnson and Malcom Floyd getting hurt last week, and Gates is the favorite for red zone looks when he's on the field. We […]

Well, Jordan Reed is hurt again. Enter Derek Carrier. It's a real punt type play, but just because Jordan Reed is out now doesn't mean that all of a sudden Kirk Cousins won't instinctively look for his tight end just as he is accustomed to doing. The Falcons should have their way with the Washington […]

This is going to be a very intriguing game, because there are so many mistakes that could be made at the hands of both quarterbacks. Here are the facts though, PFF grades the Buccaneers out as the worst against the run with a pathetic -26.2 grade. T.J. Yeldon is the guy in Jacksonville, he played 78 […]

Remember when I said how Julio Jones has that great matchup? Well Leonard Hankerson gets the same one. While Julio is matchup proof, it still benefits him that DeAngelo Hall is out and injuries have shuffled things for Washington. On the season though, the Redskins rank out as ninth best against opponents' number one receivers […]

It's possible that C.J. Spiller's long game winning play on Sunday night will crank up the spotlight on Spiller. But the Saints being on the road, and Brees' still ailing along with questions of sustainability outside of big plays, should keep that ownership level tempered. The Eagles are playing exceptionally well against the run (fourth […]

Smokin' Jay might see more ownership than projected because people will chase the big green 32nd next to the Kansas City name, representing how they've performed against opposing quarterbacks. Yeah, it hasn't been good. To be fair they've gone against Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, and Andy Dalton, so it's not entirely their fault. All the same, […]

My computer wanted to run a virus scan after I typed that. I feel ill. Seriously folks, McCown has actually played well these past two weeks. Sure, the image of him being helicoptered by the Jets in Week 1 is seared pretty deeply in my mind, but the Browns seem to finding a groove. Travis […]

I mentioned Philip Rivers as a lineup boom last week and he delivered, putting up 358 yards and three touchdowns against the Browns at home. The Chargers are again playing in San Diego this week, with Pittsburgh's sieve of a defense heading in. I don't think it is out of the realm of possibilities for Rivers to approach last week's […]
