Full Story »Ryan Mallett Distances Himself From Brian Hoyer
Although Brian Hoyer began the season as the Houston Texans' starting quarterback, the only way he'll see the football field again this season is if Ryan Mallett suffers an injury.

Full Story »Boobie Dixon a Worthy Week 4 Flex Play?
With LeSean McCoy unlikely to play for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday against the New York Giants, Anthony "Boobie" Dixon may be worth adding on the waiver wire and starting as a week 4 flex play. Of course it goes without saying that Karlos Williams will see the bulk of the carries for the Bills, […]
Full Story »Robert Griffin III Climbs the Depth Chart in Washington
Nope, Robert Griffin III hasn't been able to overtake Kirk Cousins as the Washington Redskins starting quarterback just yet, but he has surpassed Colt McCoy as the teams No. 2 quarterback ...at least temporarily.

Full Story »Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks on the Giants' Radar
The New York Giants must not feel 100 percent comfortable with the fact that Victor Cruz is expected back for week 4. According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, the team has scheduled workouts with wide receivers Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks. It seems unlikely that the team would sign either man until they get to see […]
Full Story »Matt Jones to Continue Seeing More Carries Despite Fumbling Issues
Alfred Morris owners won't be happy to hear this, but Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden will continue to give Matt Jones the bulk of the carries at running back. This is despite the fact that Jones has already lost two fumbles in just three NFL games. “We’re not going to shy away from giving him […]

Full Story »Marcus Semien (OAK, 2B / SS/ 3B) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 28 Percent of Leagues ANALYSIS: A brutal early-summer swoon has dragged down Semien's overall numbers, but he's still proven useful to those in deeper and AL-only leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 Team Leagues or Deeper OWNED IN: 1 Percent of Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Altherr recently became the first player to record an inside-the-park grand slam since Randy Winn in 1999.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25 Percent of Leagues ANALYSIS: Pearce's breakout last season had some fantasy owners betting on a repeat performance this time around.
