McCown has been unbelievable in his starts this season, recording 1,203 yards and six passing touchdowns in only three games. He also has 35 yards and one score on the ground. He’s averaging 47 pass attempts per game, and that should be no different this week, as the Browns will likely be playing from behind […]
Full Story »FanDuel CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/17
Daily Fantasy College Football: FanDuel Picks for 10/17 After just a 15-game slate last weekend for the noon contest, FanDuel has bumped it back up to 19 this Saturday afternoon. A few of these games - ones with the highest over/under total set in Vegas, in particular - are especially appealing for GPP contests and […]
Full Story »Thomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Shame on everyone who benched/dropped Thomas Rawls for Week 5. The undrafted rookie amassed 169 yards on 23 carries with a touchdown. Really, he looked impressive in every aspect of the game, making defenders miss in the open field en route to a 69-yard touchdown sprint and shedding tackles at the line of scrimmage pushing […]
Full Story »Todd Gurley (RB, STL) - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Todd Gurley is now, indisputably, a top-five fantasy football running back. The rookie from Georgia had his second consecutive monster game, racking up 159 yards on 30 carries, the most attempts of any running back in Week 5. The time to buy low on Gurley is gone, and the time to sell high is nonexistent. Sorry […]
Full Story »Doug Martin, Charles Sims - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
The half back situation in Tampa Bay continues to be an interesting one. Doug Martin is among the top-three fantasy RBs this season (top-two if you take into account the injury to Jamaal Charles). His performance against the Jaguars on Sunday helped reaffirm that, as the Muscle Hamster produced a 24-123-2 line (along with a […]
Full Story »Jonathan Stewart, Cameron Artis-Payne - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Cam Newton led the Panthers run game on Sunday, rushing for 51 yards on 12 carries against a weak Buccaneers run game. Despite that weak defensive front, Jonathan Stewart was, once again, unable to get anything going, posting a 10-50-0ffensive line on the afternoon. Is this guy even good? In his defense, the panthers never […]
Full Story »Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Week 5 brought another 100-yard day for Matt Forte, who looked great as usual. In light of the Jamaal Charles injury, Forte may be the most reliable RB1 in football. The starter racked up 109 yards on 23 touches and found the end zone on a reception from Jay Cutler. Jacquizz Rodgers and Jeremy Langford […]
Full Story »Eddie Lacy, Ameer Abdullah, Theo Riddick - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Eddie lacy turned in a disappointing effort on Sunday against the Rams, gaining only 27 yards on 13 carries. This was not a typical game in Lambeau for the Packers. Much of this can be chalked up to an underrated Rams defense, which has been quite formidable over the past few weeks. Lacy will likely […]
Full Story »Calvin Johnson (WR, DET) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?
The Detroit Lions are a bad football team who are struggling in every facet of the game, yet I'm still hopeful that Megatron can turn it around somewhat. I still think you're stuck with owning him for the rest of the way barring an owner in your league who believes in his draft-day value. Having […]
Full Story »Travis Kelce (TE, KC) - Tight Ends With Warning Signals?
"Baby Gronk" has thoroughly disappointed his fantasy owners through five weeks, hauling in just 24 catches for 328 yards and two touchdowns (both of which came in a Week 1 outburst). The main red flag that Kelce has going forward is the same one that Alex Smith has to deal with--the Chiefs' run game isn't […]
Full Story »Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Tight Ends With Warning Signals?
As Russell Wilson has gone, so has Jimmy Graham. He has given investors an alarmingly low return (I had him go in the second round in one of my leagues) and is showing no signs of picking things up. With Marshawn Lynch out the last two weeks we should have seen at least some increased production […]
Full Story »Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Quarterbacks With Warning Signals?
Smith is going to struggle without Jamaal Charles, plain and simple. As soon as Charles left the game in Week 5, the Bears stepped up the blitz and ended up shutting Smith down, as he was only able to muster 181 passing yards over the course of the game. Charcandrick West and Knile Davis will […]
Full Story »Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Quarterbacks With Warning Signals?
The rookie phenom has been better than anticipated in the early stages of his professional career, but last week he seemed mortal against an above-average Bills defense. Mariota was only able to put up 187 yards through the air with no touchdowns and one very bad interception. He completed 21 of 32 passes, but that […]
Full Story »Russell Wilson (QB, SEA) - Quarterbacks With Warning Signals?
Wilson has just barely been maintaining his status as a startable QB1 in 2015, thanks in large part to depressed passing numbers. With Jimmy Graham brought in to be the receiving weapon that Wilson needed, many had high expectations for the Seahawks passing game headed into the season. However, things have headed in the exact opposite […]
Full Story »Antonio Brown (WR, PIT) - Wide Receivers With Warning Signals?
I can't believe I'm actually adding Antonio Brown to my list of players with warning signals, but given the amount of panic since Michael Vick came into the starting lineup I think there are plenty of owners out there who need some reassurance. With Vick under center, Brown has been a massive disappointment. Even with that in mind, […]
