Usually, anybody who suggests starting a Jacksonville Jaguar in fantasy football should be considered borderline insane, but quarterback Blake Bortles might be the one exception to that rule. The third overall pick from last year's draft is finally starting to come into his own, and fantasy owners deflated by the bye week should consider taking a […]
Full Story »Peyton Manning Set to Thrive in Week 5
Manning was indestructible during his first three seasons in Denver, but is Father Time finally starting to catch up with him? Manning isn't putting up abysmal numbers, but he isn't putting up the sort of numbers that justify drafting him so high. Though he's off to a slower start than expected, he's in for a juicy […]
Full Story »Amari Cooper Still A Must-Start in Week 5?
Amari Cooper has been everything as advertised since the Oakland Raiders drafted him No. 4 overall in this year's NFL draft. The rookie phenom is on pace for more than 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns this season, and he's quickly become Derek Carr's favorite target. The Raiders will be in for quite a challenge as […]
Full Story »Julian Edelman (WR, NE) - Week 5 Lineup Booms
With 30 receptions through three games and a near 80% snap share, Julian Edelman is the epitome of a high floor player, very involved in his team’s offense. His lowest target total came in Week Three, and he was targeted the 15th most of any player that weekend. His fantasy finish was as WR21 that […]
Full Story »Jamaal Charles (RB, KC) - Week 5 Lineup Booms
I love writing about players who are matching up against the Bears, mostly because they are a bad defense. The Bears are middle-of-the-road in regards to fantasy points against running backs, giving up the 13th most fantasy points so far this season. However, they have surrendered the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks, and how […]
Full Story »Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Week 5 Lineup Booms
Larry Fitzgerald’s DFS price has yet to make any sense so far this season, and it continues this weekend. Fitzgerald is the WR2 overall through the first four weeks of the season, yet is being priced around the WR10-12 range across sites. The Cardinals have a solid projected team total of 24 and they are […]
Full Story »Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?
Gary Barnidge is one of the hottest tight ends in football. No, you aren't dreaming, you're actually reading that. On an offense devoid of weapons at the wide receiver position, Barnidge has five or more targets in each of the first four games. Despite currently being the TE9 through four weeks, including back to back […]
Full Story »Danny Woodhead (RB, SD) - Week 5 Lineup Booms
Even in half PPR formats, Danny Woodhead is averaging RB1 numbers on the season, with weekly finishes as follows: RB5, RB11, RB41, RB14. There is the one bad week in there, but his overall usage and performance indicate a floor and upside. It’s improbable that Danny Woodhead will have any 30+ fantasy point outings this […]
Full Story »Anthony Dixon (RB, BUF) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?
It's tough to really get behind Anthony "Boobie" Dixon at this point in his career, but it's also tough to argue with his situation in Week 5. Both LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams are going to miss this game, which will give Dixon every opportunity to hit value for fantasy football owners. He's a clear plodder […]
Full Story »Kamar Aiken (WR, BAL) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?
Aiken is coming off a big game against the Steelers, in which he recorded five catches for 77 yards and one touchdown. He's going to be the clear number one option for the Ravens, as Steve Smith Sr. will likely be sitting this game out. Aiken has good measurables with a 6'2" body and 4.45 […]
Full Story »Brandin Cooks (WR, NO) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?
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 […]
Full Story »Rob Gronkowski (TE, NE) - Week 5 Lineup Booms
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 […]
Full Story »Carson Palmer (QB, ARI) - Week 5 Lineup Booms?
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 […]
Full Story »Tom Brady (QB, NE) - Week 5 Lineup Booms
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 […]
Full Story »Le'Veon Bell (RB, PIT) - Week 5 Lineup Booms
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 […]
