File this one under the "Hunch" category, but I think Boldin (and maybe even Torrey Smith) will have big days against their former team. The Ravens pass defense has been a sieve this season, ranked 31st in fantasy points against for quarterbacks and wide receivers, and the 49ers' offensive unit actually showed some life against the […]

DeMarco Murray finally woke up from a season-long slumber last week to rush for 83 yards and a touchdown against the porous Saints defense. This week Murray and the Eagles welcome in the Giants, who likely won't be as gracious a visitor as New Orleans was. Murray still runs like a player that was used and […]

This week Rivers turns into a bust, as he is not playing at home this week or facing a team with a questionable pass defense. The Packers have rolled at home for a while now, winning 12 straight at Lambeau Field. Aaron Rodgers and the offense pile up points, which allows Dom Capers' defensive crew to tee […]

After weeks of struggling to live up to the numbers we are used to, I think the Gouda Buddha finally busts out against a Chargers defense that is dead last in fantasy points allowed to running backs. Given Green Bay's usual dominance at home, I look for the Packers to strike early and often, with […]

I have been burned by Bradford multiple times this year, as his Jekyll and Hyde routine continues. Bradford has played much better in the second half of games compared to the first half and nobody seems to know the reason why. Luckily for Bradford and the Eagles, the Giants come to town with a banged up […]

Teams coached by Bill Belichick like to take away your biggest strength on offense and try to make you win with your team's weaknesses. Hilton is the best playmaker on the Colts, and I expect New England to give him plenty of attention in the defensive gameplay. Hilton has also struggled with a groin injury […]

The Giants don't have the names and notoriety that the Jets have, but their defense has been profiling pretty similarly. They have a very strong run defense unit, and their cornerbacks on the outside are typically strong - though now they are without Prince Amukamura, and their slot corner Trumaine McBride missed practice as well. […]

While one would like to have seen Carrier get more than three targets last week, he still turned them into two receptions and a touchdown. Fantasy owners who took the gamble on him saw a nice return. This week's matchup against the Jets should also see Carrier get more usage, as the Jets have a […]

Speaking of revenge games and "narrative street", Shorts also goes against his old team here. Now for those of you who don't buy into that, Shorts also just has a genuinely "plus" matchup against one of the league's worst pass coverage teams according to ProFootballFocus (28th overall). This game very well might end up going to […]

If you're taking Colin Kaepernick and want to stack him with someone, Anquan Boldin was clearly Colin's hot read last week when things started rolling for San Francisco's passing offense. Boldin saw 12 targets, which he turned into eight receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. Compare this with Torrey Smith only getting two targets last […]

The rationale here is pretty simple. The Baltimore Ravens are pretty banged up and the San Francisco 49ers defense is playing poorly. Steve Smith Sr. will miss another week of action with his back injury. The backfield is a different story though, as Lorenzo Taliaferro was placed on the injured reserve as he must have […]

Many people may still be extremely lukewarm or ice cold on rostering any Miami Dolphins until the Dolphins show that they can be a competent offense. If you're looking to take a risk, here's the latest from Lamar Miller when asked about what new head coach Dan Campbell told his squad: “He pretty much told […]

There was a ton of talk last week surrounding the Falcons' passing attack against the Redskins defense, which naturally did not pan out well. While the Redskins defense did do a good job of containing the Falcons, it would be a mistake to just totally flip flop on the perception of the Redskins. There is […]

We saw Kaepernick do pretty well against the Giants in last week's game to the tune of 23 completions on 35 attempts for 262 yards and two touchdowns. He showed that he is still capable of playing quarterback as long as he isn't rolling out to his left. Baltimore has been beaten like a drum […]
