Somewhat of a surprise starter in San Diego after a ho-hum season at San Francisco, Stevie Johnson seems to have regained the form that lead him to three straight thousand yard seasons with the Bills. He’s converting targets to receptions at an excellent rate (11 catches on 12 targets), and has managed to snag a […]
Full Story »Devin Funchess (WR, CAR) - Sneaky Week 3 Adds
A fantasy darling in the offseason after the Kelvin Benjamin injury, it's time for Funchess to show a sign of being able to be a usable receiver, or we may need to forget his name for the rest of the season. He's done virtually nothing up to this point, but head coach Ron Rivera said […]
Full Story »Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts
I wrote Beasley up here last week, and I'm doing so again. Even after the four catch for 14 yard day against the Eagles in Week 2, I'm a believer. Listen - Dez Bryant is out, Jason Witten is hurt, and Brandon Weeden is going to need to hit some short quick hitting routes to get in a […]
Full Story »Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts
I wrote up McCluster earlier in the week, calling him a hail mary play for Week 3. I still feel the same about McCluster - he is a boom or bust candidate that likely depends on hitting a big play. But I love McCluster's talent, and it's just a matter of whether or not he […]
Full Story »Beating the Week Three Waiver Wire: Last Minute Adds
Welcome to Week 3 of the season RotoBallers. Every week we analyze, strategize, and materialize the best lineup for Sunday. Most of that work is already finished. You had better already moved Le'Veon back into your starting lineup. You should have already picked up Starks to protect your Lacy investment, or to dangle him in front […]
Full Story »Sneaky Week 3 Starts: Nick Foles, Isaiah Crowell, Heath Miller & More
Week Three! It's almost time to finalize those lineups... This may be your last chance to find those sneakier players for your Week 3 lineups - players who have great matchups - as you try to surprise your opponents. Hopefully they are still blindly starting their highest drafted players. Here’s a look at five under-the-radar fantasy options, one at each […]
Full Story »Carlos Martinez (Shoulder) To Undergo MRI, Out For Season
Carlos Martinez is scheduled to undergo an MRI Saturday after he was forced to exit Friday’s game early with tightness in his pitching shoulder. The St. Louis Cardinals right-hander only recorded one out on Friday before he was forced to leave the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. Unfortunately, the NL Central leading Cardinals will lose the […]
Full Story »Brandon Marshall (WR, NYJ) - Week 3 Lineup Booms
In pure talent terms, Brandon Marshall may be a top 10 NFL wide receiver. Coming into the 2015 season though, some were concerned the injuries may have added up - and even more analysts were concerned about his role on a bad offense. Through the first two weeks, the Jets offense has performed quite well […]
Full Story »Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Week 3 Lineup Busts?
Two words: Revis Island. Not only does the Eagles offense look terrible so far this season, they’ll be headed to Metlife Stadium to face one of the league’s better looking defenses. Jordan Matthews has had a solid start to the season, so chances are good that you won’t bench him. And I understand that, especially […]
Full Story »Andre Johnson (WR, IND) - Week 3 Lineup Busts
Andre Johnson is starting to look like a fixture on the bust list this season. Drafted as a WR2 in most formats, Johnson has looked slow and uninspiring thus far. It appears that wide receiver Donte Moncrief is poised to move ahead of the veteran receiver for good, dropping Johnson to the number four option on […]
Full Story »Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Week 3 Lineup Booms
Anyone who understands the nature of running backs in fantasy football knows that value is all about volume. The more touches a runner has, the better. Without Dez Bryant or Tony Romo for the foreseeable future, an uptick in carries for Joseph Randle is inevitable going forward. Dallas certainly aren’t going to put their trust […]

Full Story »T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals
Speaking of the Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck’s primary wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is off to a slow start as well. A large part of that, perhaps even most of it, has been due to the fact that Hilton has been banged up to start the year. He entered week one questionable with a concussion, which […]
Full Story »Andrew Luck (QB, IND) - Players Showing Warning Signals
Remember when quarterback Aaron Rodgers told everyone to R.E.L.A.X. last year? That’s exactly what I’m going to tell you to do if you own Andrew Luck. Relax. He’s going to be just fine. Luck’s first two games were against tough defenses in the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. With the Tennessee Titans on deck, […]
Full Story »Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - Players Showing Warning Signals
I would like to begin this little blurb by paraphrasing the great Bob Ryan of The Boston Globe and ESPN’s Around the Horn fame. With how little Jimmy Graham has been utilized in the passing game, Ryan made the analogy that this would be the equivalent of the Seattle Mariners signing Nelson Cruz just to […]
