Listen, not every column can be sunshine and rainbows. We can tell you all about how Julio Jones will score 30 points because he's Julio Jones and of course he will. Sometimes, you just have to face the grim reality that the players you drafted aren't as good as you thought they'd be (for me, […]
Full Story »NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 4)
After a miserable week 2, I bounced back going four for four in my picks this past week. All the big favorites won, with a couple small underdogs winning on the road. This the first week of the NFL season where BYEs start coming into play, with New England and Tennessee getting the week off. […]
Full Story »Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 4: Cameron Artis-Payne, Cecil Shorts, Gary Barnidge
Another week in and I hope everyone is doing better than me in their fantasy leagues this season. Going forward, I now have Dez Bryant, LeSean McCoy and Ben Roethlisberger riding the bench for at least the next couple weeks. I guess it was a good thing I traded for Larry Fitzgerald. If you are […]
Full Story »Is It Time To Cut Bait On These Three Players?
Andre Johnson – WR, IND FootballOutsiders has DVOA (defense adjusted value over average) and DYAR (defense adjusted yards above replacement) grades for 74 WRs to date. They have Johnson graded as the 74th receiver in both DVOA & DYAR. His 7-51-0 line through three weeks looks as unimpressive on paper as Johnson looked earning it. With […]
Full Story »Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Jordan Matthews - Week 4 Lineup Booms
Jordan Matthews, WR, Eagles Don’t be discouraged by last week’s dud, Jordan Matthews was stuck on Revis Island. This week, against a much more forgiving Redskins passing defense, expect Matthews to return to his Week 1 and Week 2 form. The Skins have surrendered four touchdowns and 380 yards to receivers in three games. Matthews will be […]
Full Story »Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton - Week 4 Lineup Booms
Cam Newton, QB, Panthers Seven total touchdowns against just two turnovers has Cam Newton looking like an early MVP candidate. While the Buccaneers have tightened up their passing defense over the last two weeks, Marcus Mariota’s Week 1 explosion against Tampa Bay still has me convinced that their passing defense is suspect. Newton has produced big […]
Full Story »Marvin Jones a Must-Add for Week 4?
Also in his fourth season, Marvin Jones appears to have surpassed Mohamed Sanu as the second wide receiver in Cincinnati behind A.J. Green. Jones grabbed five of his eight targets on Sunday, collecting 94 yards and a touchdown in the process. If Andy Dalton continues to play as well as he did in Week against […]
Full Story »Jarvis Landry, Vincent Jackson - Week 4 WR Lineup Busts?
Jarvis Landry, WR, Dolphins Revis Island is where No. 1 receivers go to die for a week, and this time around it’s Jarvis Landry’s turn. He still has not reached the end zone this season and is beginning to lose targets to Rishard Matthews. Landry will likely have big games down the road, but in […]
Full Story »Rashad Jennings, Lamar Miller - Players Showing Warning Signals
Lamar Miller, RB, Dolphins Lamar Miller is already likely stuck on your bench after a very disappointing start to the season. A favorite preseason breakout pick, Miller has not reached 55 rushing yards yet or received more than 13 carries in a game. Despite the fact that he was a third or fourth round pick for […]
Full Story »Ryan Tannehill, Eli Manning - Week 4 QB Lineup Busts
Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins It’s hard to have faith in anyone on the massively disappointing Dolphins offense. Ryan Tannehill has turned the ball over four times already and has only scored in the 20s once this season. With this game being in London and the Jets defense holding fantasy QBs to an average of 9.2 […]
Full Story »Matt Forte (RB, CHI) - Week 4 Lineup Booms
I jostled back and forth throughout the week on whether to go with Matt Forte or Latavius Murray here as I like both backs in this game. With so many of the top running backs with injury/usage concerns, Forte is my favorite high-end running back this week. Jimmy Clausen is his quarterback and the Bears […]

Full Story »Five Players Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 4
Between the injury bug and a slew of under-performing stars, the first three weeks of the NFL season have been rather troublesome. This week’s warning signals piece is going to focus largely on players we’ve talked about already and whether or not it’s officially time to panic. There are also a few new names on […]
Full Story »Eric Ebron (TE, DET) - Week 4 Lineup Booms?
I know that they were without Kam Chancellor for the first bit of the season, so the horrid third worst DVOA rating against tight ends is skewed, but it's still noteworthy if you're looking for a contrarian type play below the Jordan Reed level. The Lions have yet to start firing on all cylinders as […]
Full Story »Charles Clay (TE, BUF) - Week 4 Lineup Booms?
The New York football Giants have quite a few things they struggle with, but their linebackers in coverage are at the top of the list. Jon Beason coming back helps, but he is mostly in there for run defense. Young middle linebacker Uani' Unga is the guy who gave Jason Witten a five yard cushion […]
