Doubling Down on All-RB Bench in Week 8
Consider this article like the movie Paranormal Activity or the second season of Mr. Robot. There’s going to be a lot of build-up until you die or wake up in prison. If you really want to jump the gun because you don’t have the time to read my article (you’re a busy and important fantasy […]
Week 8 Dynasty Matchup Previews
Dynasty owners don’t play week to week, they play long term. However, dynasty owners still need to analyze different aspects of weekly matchups to determine the best time to sell or buy a player. Make sure you don’t buy that hot rookie too soon and don’t sell the aging veteran too late. Each week, I […]

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 8
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]
NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 8): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids
What a boring Sunday that was. The matchups were bad and the games even worse. I love good defensive battles, but on Sunday that wasn't even the case. The Titans and Browns combined scored 21 points on seven field goals. Three teams were blanked. Seven teams could not muster a single offensive touchdown. Once again London […]

There will probably be someone that can […]
The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 8)
As the season wears on, this list will feature more name brand players that you may have trouble letting go. Peyton Manning owners remember all too well how a big name can derail an entire season if you refuse to accept that he simply no longer has value. The names on this list no longer […]
Week 8 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet
In today’s installment, I want to give you a peek behind the curtain as to my motivation for writing this article each week, but I’ll start with a mea culpa on the Green Bay Packers passing game. My gut call on the Packers pass-catchers was that they were more likely to surprise in a positive […]
Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
Week 7 was a rather ugly slate overall, though folks who didn’t bail on Ezekiel Elliott were handsomely rewarded (as were all Dallas-player stocks) and many might feel that “no news is good news” after we’ve seen several top players go down these past few weeks. That said, Carson Palmer will miss at least eight […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 8
We have somehow managed to escape Week 7 without any significant injuries to top fantasy contributors. Yes, Carson Palmer and Jay Cutler were knocked out, but speaking purely from a fantasy perspective, this was as tame of a week as we could hope for. With that in mind, you'll notice some more repeat names than usual this week. […]

Going Extreme with All Bench RB in Week 7
Zero RB is a widely discussed strategy that I happen to buy into. I love the WR position and don’t enjoy the injury risk at RB, therefore avoiding the use of my high draft capital on the position. Today I’d like to discuss a strategy that compliments Zero RB very well but can also apply […]
