Week 3 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 3 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
We were treated to some better football this weekend with no major injuries to star players (no, anyone nicknamed Fat Rob doesn't count as a star). The downside to Week 2 was that we didn't see any major breakouts or surprises by rookies and some of last week's shooting stars seem to already have fizzled. […]

NFL Survivor League Picks - Week 2
Week 1 is in the books and it sure was a doozy. The games were mostly lopsided and dull. Only two games, the Falcons at Bears, and Chargers, Broncos came down to the final possession.* I had the Bears as an upset special and they should have won the game. Week 1 also leads to massive overreaction. […]

Injury Impact - David Johnson Out 8-12 Weeks
So you got the first pick in your league. Awesome. You considered Le'veon Bell, but his injury history scared you off a bit. Same with Odell Beckham Jr. Antonio Brown was appealing, but a wide receiver first? Hmmm. Heck maybe you even considered Ezekiel Elliot, if you drafted before the news of his suspension. But […]

Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week.

Fantasy Football Mailbag – Weathering The Storm
On the field, Week 1 was fairly lackluster – six teams scored in the single digits, and many of the week's marquee games ended up being duds.

Week 2 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus
Don't overreact. Don't overreact. Fantasy owners need to repeat this many times before making lineup decisions after one week of regular season football.

Week 2 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
Well, that didn't take long. Injuries to star running back David Johnson and fantasy sleeper Danny Woodhead have left openings for their understudies to make an impact in the coming weeks. Other lesser-known RBs have shown glimpses of talent that could be an indicator of future success. While I'd never recommend overspending FAAB or dumping […]
