Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I was riding high after predicting eight out of the top ten defenses two weeks ago, but we saw some craziness this Sunday (along with some top tier defenses postponed or canceled), which caused only a 50% success rate in identifying top-10 units. Miami throttling San Francisco was truly a surprise, as was a Kansas […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

This NFL season continues to be the weirdest one that I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’ve seen teams come out and get embarrassed by bottom dwellers, and I just watched Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins absolutely dismantled the San Francisco 49ers. If you ever think that you’re going to be able to accurately predict […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 6 (10/18/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

As fans, we had our emotions played with in Week 5 a bit. There were several COVID-19 cases that made their way around the league, but in turn, we only had one game moved. In our games, Arizona was ready to hit the over themselves, but they pulled back and took it easy on the […]

The pivot plays and post-waiver pickups keep coming, RotoBallers! There is no Thursday game this week to burn fantasy football players, but there are now two Monday night games and plenty of Sunday games that could catch fantasy managers off guard if they do not have backup plans in place for the “questionable” players on […]

J.K. Dobbins Not A Season-Long Starting Option At This Stage

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins entered the season as a borderline Top 100 fantasy selection due to his multifaceted abilities out of the backfield. Even with veteran Mark Ingram II holding down primary running back duties, Gus Edwards has now emerged as Ingram’s primary backup, leaving Dobbins somewhat out in the cold. He played […]

Week 6 of the NFL season is upon us, which means a busy Sunday full of opportunities to play props and win with Monkey Knife Fight. The season is now officially in bye week territory, and not just “Covid-19 cancelled the game so we’re calling it a bye” territory. Four teams had byes last week. […]

Ravens Defense Draws Excellent Matchup In Week 6

The Baltimore Ravens Defense has been one of the top units in the league through the first five games of the season and they draw a beautiful Week 6 matchup against a struggling Philadelphia Eagles offense. Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz has not played well this season, throwing nine interceptions and losing a fumble in five […]

Mark Andrews In A Smash Spot In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has scored three touchdowns over his past two games and has a good shot at extending the streak in Week 6 against a Philadelphia Eagles Defense that has allowed five touchdowns to tight ends in 2020. Andrews finds himself in an excellent spot against a Philadelphia defense that is […]

Marquise Brown A WR2 Vs. Eagles

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown is coming off his best outing of the season and will look to stay hot in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Brown finished Week 5 with six catches for 77 yards and a score last week, his first touchdown of the 2020 season. He draws an excellent matchup […]

Mark Ingram II A Flex Play In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II is off to a slow start in the 2020 season, having rushed for just 205 yards and two touchdowns through five games. After an excellent 2019 campaign, the team's insistence on using a three-man committee in the backfield has capped Ingram's weekly output, as he has just three […]

Lamar Jackson Draws Excellent Matchup In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on the road in Week 6. Jackson is off to a slow start, by his own lofty standards, having rushed for just 238 yards and one touchdown through five games. He has a chance to post a big game against a Philly defense […]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - Yards Per Carry

Are five games enough to start reading into ROS player values based on performance? Unlike baseball, where certain statistics can start to become reliable or "sticky" after a certain at-bat or innings-pitched threshold, it's never the case in football. It's a game where big individual plays make all the difference and only 16 games make […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 6

There are a lot of warning signals from Week 5. The 2020 season is possibly one of the hardest seasons to predict. We are seeing a lot of high-scoring contests that are allowing some lesser-known players to blow up the box score. We are also seeing a changing of the guard due to some of […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 brought some key injuries and we lost the NE/DEN game (with BUF/TEN still up in the air). The biggest injury was Dak Prescott, who was carted off after suffering a compound ankle fracture, but we also saw Sammy Watkins and A.J. Green leave due to hamstring injuries alongside Diontae Johnson's back injury. Also, Dalvin […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 6

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. […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 5

This series continues into its fifth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 5, we saw performances such as Kyler Murray throwing for 380 passing yards, the Chiefs running backs combining for only 44 rushing yards, and the San […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 5's Studs Turned Duds

As we push past the quarter mark of the 2020 NFL season, it gets harder and harder to keep track of the maturations created by COVID. Games are getting rescheduled, pushed, and canceled. Teams are being given last-minute bye weeks that alter the future schedule in half a dozen or more different ways. We gain […]

NextGen Stats - Running Back Breakdowns and Takeaways

With five weeks of play in the books and things starting to settle a bit, it's time to get back to studying some of the rushers around the league and see how they have performed through (almost) the first third of the season. Here's to hope that we don't have any more setbacks with regards […]

Ravens Defense Remains Cream Of Crop In Week 6

The Baltimore Ravens Defense may not have the same notable names as years past, but the group has been tremendous in 2020 and is in line to continue that success Sunday versus Philadelphia.

Week 5 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Unlike Week 4 where 17 quarterbacks scored at least 20-fantasy points, only 11 quarterbacks reached that same mark in Week 5. Patrick Mahomes finished the week as the No. 1 quarterback on the week, while Ryan Fitzpatrick finished No. 2 in surprising fashion against a tough 49ers Defense. Travis Kelce finished Week 5 as the […]
