Week 16 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It's Championship week in most fantasy football leagues, and a rough week to be streaming quarterbacks at that. Most of the truly terrible defenses are taking on universally owned quarterbacks, which means slim pickings on waivers. Philip Rivers against the Ravens and Jared Goff against the Cardinals are the two highly-owned quarterbacks facing tough matchups […]

Michael Crabtree Held Without A Catch

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree did not post a catch and was targeted just one time despite being on the field for 45 offensive plays in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers. It was the least amount of work that the 31-year-old veteran has seen this year, and marked the first time this season that […]

John Brown A Non-Factor Again

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown had one reception for nine yards in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers. He was targeted just three times, which is his second fewest total this year. The 28-year-old has struggled since Lamar Jackson took over the reigns under center as he has only five catches on 21 targets for […]

Hayden Hurst Ties Season High In Receptions

Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst pulled down all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers. He tied his season-high in receptions and it marked the fourth time this season that he totaled at least 20 receiving yards. The first-round draft pick has been inconsistent this year as this […]

Mark Andrews Brings In Two Passes For 31 Yards

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews caught two of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers. It was a decent bounce-back performance from his zero reception performance against the Chiefs in Week 14. The rookie now has seven receptions for 171 yards over his past five contests. With the Ravens still […]

Willie Snead Leads Ravens In Receptions Again

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead brought in five of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's (20-12) victory over the Buccaneers. It marked the second straight week that he has led the team in receptions and fifth-time in the past seven contests that the veteran has topped the squad in receiving yards. The 26-year-old […]

Chris Moore Reaches End Zone For First Time This Season

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore hauled in his lone target for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday's (20-12) victory over the Buccaneers. He also garnered one carry for minus-five rushing yards. A week after not seeing a pass in his direction, snapping a nine-game streak of catching at least one pass, the 25-year-old hooked up […]

Kenneth Dixon Has Solid Performance

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon garnered 48 yards on 11 carries to go along with one reception for two yards in Sunday's (20-12) victory over the Buccaneers. It marks another solid performance for the 24-year-old backup, who has accumulated 107 yards on 19 attempts over the last two games. His workload was the most […]

Gus Edwards Back Over 100 Yards Rushing Mark

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards racked up 104 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries in Sunday's (20-12) victory over the Buccaneers. His 10-yard third quarter touchdown scamper gave the Ravens a 17-9 lead. It marked the first time in the past three contests that the rookie topped the 100-yard mark and the […]

Lamar Jackson Doesn't Throw An Interception For Third Straight Game

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 14 of 23 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown. The rookie also rushed for 95 yards on 18 carries. It was a typical stat line for Jackson as he topped 200 yards from scrimmage for a fifth straight game thanks to his second-highest rushing total of the season. […]

Joe Flacco Active In Week 15

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is active in Week 15 against the Buccaneers. However, rookie Lamar Jackson will receive his fifth straight start and has QB1 upside against Tampa's bad defense. With Flacco back on the sidelines, Robert Griffin III is a healthy scratch. Running back Ty Montgomery is also a healthy scratch for […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 15) - Targets and Avoids

Another Sunday for the dogs. Texans, Patriots, Broncos, Steelers, and Rams all lost outright. The Chiefs and Chargers both narrowly won, but failed to cover.

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll keep it short and sweet here - you need to win and I want you to win. That's where the ol' gut comes in. See, there are many reasons to think Cousins won't throw the ball very often this week, Edwards will see a reduced workload, McKenzie has too low a ceiling to start […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 15): NFL DFS Lineups

Two Saturday games on top of the usual prime time games has really left this slate a little devoid of options. However, more significantly is the loss of the Chiefs, Rams, Chargers and Saints to prime time slots on Thursday, Sunday and Monday. That has left us looking more for defenses to pick against this […]

Updated Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams.

Stay […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Crucial Pivots for Fantasy Football Week 15

Us fantasy folks have a mantra that gets repeated ad nauseam throughout the season. "Start your studs" is the standard cliché you hear when it comes to making obvious lineup decisions. No one should be starting the likes of Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers just because Carr has an easy matchup...or should they? That's what […]

Spoiler Alert! Favorable Matchups to Avoid

Lucas. The Replacements. Me, Myself and Irene. Hollywood is full of underdogs who finally had enough and made it known, "Don’t test me!" It seems the script is now taking effect in the 2018 NFL with teams such as Cincinnati, Tampa Bay, Arizona, and yes, even Oakland, that they are not just going to lay […]

Joe Flacco Questionable For Week 15

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) practiced in full all week but is questionable for Week 15 against the Buccaneers. Flacco should return this Sunday, but he'll be backing up rookie Lamar Jackson now. Jackson could be on a shorter leash if he struggles if Flacco is active, but Flacco has no business being owned […]

[…]

Trusting Derrick Henry (or Not) in Fantasy Playoffs

Few things give me true pleasure in watching the game of football like watching a running back rip off a long run. Derrick Henry did just that in Week 14, running for 99 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He didn't stop there, posting a memorable 238 yards and four touchdowns on the day. That's the stuff of […]

Lamar Jackson To Start Over Joe Flacco

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson will start in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, while Joe Flacco (hip) will return and back the rookie up. Flacco hasn't played since Nov. 4 and was already playing poorly before his injury. Jackson has gone 3-1 in his four starts and although […]
