C.J. Spiller - RB, New Orleans Saints He wasn't doing anything special before he ripped off the 80-yard touchdown in overtime, but that showed his big-play ability, which is why owners wanted him on draft day. You aren't going to get a ton of volume out of the guy, at least not yet, but he's so […]
Full Story »Andy Dalton, Allen Hurns - Fantasy Football Risers
Allen Hurns - WR, Jacksonville Jaguars People might think Hurns was simply a product of being the WR2 for the Jaguars against the Vontae Davis-anchored Colts secondary, but consider that in Hurns' first three games he had lines of 5-60-0, 4-68-0, and 2-70-1. Week 4's line of 11-116-1 is just someone cranking up the dial […]
Full Story »Drew Brees (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Risers
It's no surprise that Drew Brees' arm is not what it used to be, and it's probably something he's going to continue to deal with. That being said, his stock was plummeting on the heels of a missed game and the gigantic unknown of what he was really capable of coming off an injury. He ended […]
Full Story »Mike Wallace (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Risers
This was certainly an encouraging game that Mike Wallace owners or speculators really needed to see. While the Vikings had been doing little through the air in the first three weeks, Mike Wallace finally came through with eight receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown on ten targets. He had seen 14 targets in the first […]
Full Story »Todd Gurley (RB, STL) - Fantasy Football Risers
Quite the buzz around this guy eh? Gurley, and pretty much the Rams in general, have been the source of many question marks so far in 2015. Benny Cunningham had a fun PPR game in Week 1 against the Seahawks, but in general the Rams have struggled mightily in the run game. Tre Mason hadn't […]
Full Story »Chris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Risers
Any questions about Chris Ivory's health and effectiveness were written off early on Sunday as he turned in a stellar 29-carry, 166-yard effort (while also finding the end zone). Adding to the performance from a fantasy standpoint is Bilal Powell's groin injury. Zac Stacy did come in as the Jets were out in front for much […]
Full Story »Why Charles Sims is a Nice Flex Play to Have
Despite a good-looking win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 2, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have looked abysmal this season. They mirror the same old Bucs from last year, the same team that went 2-14 and finished with the first pick in the 2015 NFL draft. Think they regret choosing Jameis Winston over Marcus Mariota […]
Full Story »What Happened to the Houston Texans' Defense?
The Houston Texans' 1-3 start is not where the team, nor most fans, envisioned they'd be after the first month of the NFL season. Unfortunately, that is exactly the case, and fantasy football owners who jumped on the Texans' defense are left scratching their heads and wondering just what in the world went wrong. Even […]
Full Story »Expect a Blowout Win From the Green Bay Packers on Sunday
Despite the loss of stud wide receiver Jordy Nelson, the Green Bay Packers are sitting pretty atop the NFC North win an unblemished 4-0 record. The Pack have looked marvelous in almost every facet of the game so far, and look for that to continue when they host the St. Louis Rams in Week 5. […]
Full Story »What to Make of Antonio Gates' Return for the San Diego Chargers
Antonio Gates is set to make his 2015 debut after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's Policy and Program for performance-enhancing substances. So what should fantasy owners make of his return? Gates has forever been the favorite target of quarterback Philip Rivers. But Rivers has also found a reliable weapon in Ladarius Green, […]
Full Story »Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Risers
It's time for me to admit that the Cincinnati ground game is looking a little more like a committee than I would have liked. That being said, you can't argue with Jeremy Hill's three touchdown performance on Sunday. Despite Giovanni Bernard eating into Hill's workload, the team is still leaning on Hill and has openly said […]
Full Story »2015 Fantasy Football Week 5: Risers and Fallers From Week 4
Week 5 is upon us, and things are getting REAL. Teams are starting to separate from the pack, both upwards and downwards. We've got four weeks to react to now, and while the phrase "any given Sunday" is definitely proving itself accurate, some trends are definitely taking shape. While Week 3 was an insane points […]
Full Story »Carlos Hyde (RB, SF) - Players Showing Warning Signals
If I had told you that Carlos Hyde would make a list about players to be concerned about after his massive week one performance you likely would have told me I was losing my mind. Yet here we are three weeks later and Hyde hasn't found the endzone or had more than 51 yards in […]
Full Story »Lamar Miller (RB, MIA) - Players Showing Warning Signals
The Miami Dolphins have been the most disappointing team of the 2015 NFL season. This was a team that was expected to make major strides on both sides of the ball after bringing in a slew of new players that were assumed to be upgrades. Lamar Miller, one of the constants in Miami over the last […]
Full Story »DeMarco Murray (RB, PHI) - Players Showing Warning Signals
If it weren't for an unexpected hamstring injury that caused him to miss a game, DeMarco Murray likely would have been on last week's list as well. Unfortunately for him, it doesn't appear as if skipping a week did him any favors. Not only is Murray lacking touches but he's not exactly setting the world […]
