Now that I've (hopefully) calmed you down on Mike Evans, let's head to the complete opposite end of the spectrum and talk about Brandin Cooks once again. Last week I had said that Cooks was either the perfect buy-low candidate or a total bust. One week later with a returning Drew Brees and it's looking like […]
Full Story »Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?
Here's the part where I try to talk you off the ledge. Over the last two games, Mike Evans has 25 targets compared to 21 for that of his teammate Vincent Jackson. Jackson is coming off of a massive 147-yard day, but rewind to the week before and Evans had a 101-yard showing of his own. […]
Full Story »Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?
If Kam Chancellor doesn't punch the ball out of Calvin Johnson's hands at the goal line, Megatron likely escapes making my warning signals list. Hell, if the referees don't blow that batted ball call and Calvin finds the end zone on the next play, he's still probably safe. But alas, here we are with another mediocre […]
Full Story »Arian Foster to Be More Involved Tonight Against Colts
After debuting last week vs the Falcons, Arian Foster will be back in a Week 5 matchup vs the Indianapolis Colts. Foster's debut wasn't particularly impressive, rushing eight times for 10 yards and catching three passes for 25 yards. The real takeaway from his performance last week was that his groin didn't appear to bother him and […]
Full Story »Matz (Back) Throws 80 Pitches In Simulated Game
New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz threw 80 pitches during a simulated game on Thursday in Port St. Lucie, FL. The simulation was done with the possibility that if healthy, Matz could be the potential Game 4 starter for the Mets during the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The rookie left-hander has been […]

The Toronto Blue Jays have put out their lineup for Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday, and Troy Tulowitzki will be moved to the fifth spot.

Full Story »Rangers Reveal Game 1 Lineup: Hamilton Starting
The Texas Rangers have announced their lineup for Game 1 of the ALDS against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.

Full Story »DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Fallers
The Miami Dolphins were many experts' sleeper pick to make a leap into the playoffs, but Ryan Tannehill has failed to take that next step, the team's defense is in disarray and now they have to transition to a new coach as Joe Philbin was fired this week. Rookie DeVante Parker was expected to be […]
Full Story »Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Fallers
The Philadelphia Eagles offense was expected to put up huge fantasy numbers in their third season under head coach Chip Kelly. But the team has struggled to a 1-3 record and is averaging less than 20 points per game. Darren Sproles production has taken one of the biggest hits so far. He's totaled just 72 […]
Full Story »Jordan Reed (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Fallers
It’s not the on-field performance that’s affected Jordan Reed’s stock. Through four weeks he has 24 receptions, 278 yards and a touchdown. However, he left the Washington Redskins Week 4 matchup with a concussion, and it’s far from the first in his career. Reed missed the final seven games of his rookie season with a concussion […]
Full Story »Carlos Hyde (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Stock Falling?
After Week 1, some people were questioning their thoughts about the San Francisco 49ers. Carlos Hyde ran for 168 yards and two touchdowns in a dominant Monday Night victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Since then, the Niners have come crashing back down to Earth. They rank dead last in the league in points scored, including […]
Full Story »Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Risers
Perhaps the most surprising revelation of the year has been the Cleveland Browns' Gary Barnidge. The 30-year old tight end had a career high 13 receptions last year. Through four weeks, he already has 16 catches and has become a preferred target of quarterback Josh McCown. In the last two weeks, he’s caught 12 passes […]
Full Story »Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 5
The wide receiver position is typically more consistent on a year-to-year basis than the running back position, yet this season is off to a bit of an odd start. There have been a surprising number of bounce-backs like Keenan Allen and Larry Fitzgerald, while presumed studs Calvin Johnson and Mike Evans have turned out to be inconsistent. The […]
Full Story »Pierre Garcon (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Risers
The Washington Redskins have fared better than many people expected early in the season, but they are not on solid ground yet. If they want to stay at the top of the NFC East, Kirk Cousins will need to find Pierre Garcon in big spots. Garcon caught the game-winning touchdown for the Redskins on his […]
