Full Story »DeAndre Hopkins Making a Legitimate Case as Top NFL Wideout
While fans simply rave about Julio Jones and his 49 catches for 638 yards and four touchdowns (rightfully so), he may have some competition for the best wide receiver in the NFL.

Full Story »Let Andre Ellington Warm Your Bench
With Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington playing just 9-of-72 offensive snaps on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he is no longer worth any starting consideration. Chris Johnson is clearly the team's starting running back. He played 39 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, rookie David Johnson played 23 snaps. It's possible that Ellington isn't 100 percent healthy […]

Full Story »Julian Edelman Can’t Help But Find the End-Zone
New England Patriots’ wide receiver Julian Edelman can’t help but find the end-zone.

Full Story »Donte Moncrief Outshines T.Y. Hilton, Yet Again
In Sunday night’s Week 6 loss against the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver Donte Moncrief successfully brought in 6-of-11 targets for 69 total receiving yards and a touchdown. While nothing out-of-this-world, Moncrief’s solid numbers were enough to have him statistically, once again, outplaying standout wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. As arguably the best highlight […]
Full Story »Though Nabbing a Touchdown, Gronkowski Relatively Quiet In Patriots’ Win
Generally speaking, New England Patriots’ wide receiver Rob Gronkowski is a force to be reckoned with out on the field. In Sunday night’s Week 6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, however, he was relatively tame. Still, Gronkowski managed to score a touchdown to help his team seek revenge against the accusatory Colts, thus putting a […]
Full Story »Danny Amendola’s Big Week 6 Performance Little More Than an Outlier
Though successfully securing 7-of-9 targets for a total of 105 receiving yards in the New England Patriots’ Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts, it’s unlikely Danny Amendola’s performance was little more than a statistical outlier. Not only did seven of Amendola’s Tom Brady targets come in the first half, but so too did 87 […]
Full Story »Melvin Gordon Benched for Fumbling
San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will need to learn how to hold onto the football if he wants to become the team's lead back. Gordon, who had just seven carries for 29 yards on Sunday, didn't get a single carry after halftime due to a pair of first-half fumbles. The Chargers have plenty […]
Full Story »Once Again, Andre Johnson Fails to Live Up to His Name
As a member of the Houston Texans, believe it or not, Andre Johnson was widely considered one of the better receivers in the NFL. If you’ve just started following him this year, more than likely, you’re wondering how this ever could’ve been. Once again, taking a backseat in the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 6 loss to […]
Full Story »Injuries Aside, T.Y. Hilton Leads Colts’ Receiving Core In Week 6 Loss to Patriots
Thus far, this season has been a tough one for Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. Having dealt with injury concerns for much of the season, he’s been unable to make the very plays that have solidified him as a top-tier receiver in the NFL in recent years. However, with the majority of nagging injuries […]
Full Story »LeGarrette Blount Makes His Presence Known In Week 6 Win Over Colts
When the New England Patriot’s Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts was all said and done, there was little doubt that LeGarrette Blount had showed up to play.

Full Story »Week 7 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Derek Carr, Ryan Fitzpatrick & Brian Hoyer
The Week 6 QB streams gave us two big hits and one miss. The miss was Teddy Bridgewater, as the Vikings did not come out of the bye swinging like I hoped. Blake Bortles was a big hit once again. Even though he had three interceptions, it did not hurt his fantasy performance. Bortles has […]
