Full Story »Cameron Artis-Payne (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cameron Artis-Payne was the Panthers' 5th round selection out of the University of Auburn, yet people were already talking about his potential impact for fantasy football managers.

Indianapolis Colts WR Andre Johnson will take the field Thursday night for his first game against his former team, the Houston Texans.

Full Story »Ryan Mallet to Remain Starter vs Colts Tonight
Despite being replaced by Brian Hoyer in last week's blowout loss to the Falcons, Ryan Mallet is expected to get the start yet again in Thursday's game against the Colts.

Following the race at Dover last weekend, four drivers (Jimmie Johnson, Jamie McMurray, Paul Menard, Clint Bowyer) have been eliminated from the playoffs. The first round kept many fans on the edge of their seats for three weeks as they witnessed some ups and downs throughout. Jimmie Johnson unintentionally wrecked Harvick in the first race […]
Full Story »Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?
Realistically I could talk about how the entire Philly offense is sending out "warning signals", but Matthews has been the more surprising disappointment over the last two weeks. After boasting two impressive outings in Weeks 1 and 2, Matthews has totaled only nine receptions for 99 yards in the following two games combined. Let's face it, […]
Full Story »Brandin Cooks (WR, NO) - Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?
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.

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 […]
