FAAB Bidding - Week 3 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
As an addendum to our famous Waiver Wire pickups list, we now present suggested percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). Below you will find our FAAB auction bidding recommendations for those playing in FAAB waiver wire leagues. As a caveat, these prices do not by any means […]
Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions
Up is down, black is white, cats and dogs are living together. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best QB in football (OK, behind Pat Mahomes) and Blake Bortles doubled Aaron Rodgers in fantasy points this week. Also, Joe Mixon, Devonta Freeman, and Leonard Fournette are sidelined by injuries while Le'Veon Bell continues to sideline himself. Also, […]
Week 3 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
After two weeks of game action, anyone who drafted Leonard Fournette, Devonta Freeman, or Joe Mixon has already been confronted with having their early-round pick sidelined due to injury. That has automatically launched the unwanted process of monitoring a situation that is fraught with uncertainty for those of you who own Fournette and Freeman, while […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round
There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]
Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 3
I have already written A.J. Green an apology letter. After noting that I would "hesitantly" put the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver in the must-start category for last week's Thursday Night Football Matchups column due to the Baltimore Ravens' history of finding ways to keep him in check, he subtly responded by catching three touchdown passes […]
Kenneth Dixon Could Return This Year
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee), who is on Injured Reserve, is a candidate to be designated to return, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Dixon has potential but just cannot seem to stay on the field. With him out for at least another seven weeks, the Ravens will continue to roll with Alex […]
Hayden Hurst Won't Play In Week 3
Baltimore Ravens rookie Hayden Hurst (foot) will not practice this week, which means he'll miss his third straight game, according to head coach John Harbaugh. With Hurst still sidelined, the Ravens should continue to keep rotating Nick Boyle, Maxx Williams and rookie Mark Andrews in. The Ravens have an exploitable matchup with Denver in Week […]
John Brown (WR, BAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown has scored twice in the first two games, but you should also pay attention to the fact he was targeted 10 times in Week 2. The Ravens will continue to chuck the ball with great frequency and […]
Javorius Allen (RB, BAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen is a good addition in deeper leagues. With Kenneth Dixon (knee) out of the mix for several weeks, Allen will stay busy on passing downs and short-yardage plays. He had a very Buck Allen-like day with five catches 36 […]
Ravens Projected To Select Receiver In First Round Of 2019 Draft
The Baltimore Ravens could add another wide receiver to their receiving corps in the opening round of the 2019 draft. Five of the six wideouts currently on the Ravens roster are newcomers, with three coming over this offseason as free agents, plus two rookies. However, John Brown is slated to be an unrestricted free agent […]

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros.

Running Back Touch Breakdown - Week 1 Recap
Anytime I start a new project, I’m filled with so much excitement it’s hard not to start just dumping data on Twitter and sharing it with the world. That is how I have felt with this project for several weeks now. One thing I have always loved is collecting data on running backs. I truly […]
Wide Receiver Targets and Snaps - Week 1 Report
After spending months, weeks, and days subtracting the amount of time that remained until the regular season, we have now shifted focus toward adding numbers instead. This applies to the weekly variances in how many opportunities your wide receivers are being allotted, both in terms of their snap count and in how many targets they […]
Week 2 Consistency Report
Finding consistency in fantasy sports is hugely important if you want to have a shot at winning your leagues. Players with high variability week-to-week have their purpose, but if you rely too much on them you are going to find yourself frustrated some weeks. If fantasy football had roto style leagues like baseball, or you […]
Alex Collins Thrives In Passing Game
Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins was held to just 35 yards rushing, although he hauled in three of four targets for an additional 55 yards in Thursday's 34-23 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Collins now has just 16 carries on the season, with nine coming against the Bengals. While there are different reasons -- […]

C.J. Mosley Doubtful To Return
Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his knee and is doubtful to return on Thursday against the Bengals. While Mosley is unlikely to finish off the game, it's good news in the long run for Baltimore's defense and Mosley's IDP owners. He won't be a lock to play […]
C.J. Mosley Injures Knee Thursday
Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) left the game early on Thursday with a knee injury. Mosley came into this week as a top-10 IDP linebacker, so a serious injury would be a huge loss for both the Ravens defense and Mosley's IDP owners. Check back for updates on the severity of Mosley's knee injury […]
Robert Griffin III Inactive In Week 2
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Jordan Lasley are healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Bengals on Thursday. RG3 was also a healthy scratch in the season opener. Athletic rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson remains the direct backup to Joe Flacco, and he'll likely have some packages to work with again on […]
Joe Flacco Finally Healthy And It Is Making A Difference
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is 100 percent healthy for the first time in three seasons, and it showed in Week 1. Against Buffalo in the season opener, Flacco looked more decisive, mobile and accurate than he has in a long time. He picked the Bills defense apart as he completed 25 of his 34 […]
Ravens Defense Knows It Must Improve In Week 2
The Baltimore Ravens defense is coming off a dominating Week 1 performance, but the Ravens know they must be better against the Cincinnati Bengals if they want to earn the win on Thursday night. Baltimore held Buffalo to three points and 153.0 total yards last week. The Ravens also registered six sacks and picked off […]
Janarion Grant Is Questionable For Week 2
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Janarion Grant (hand) is questionable for Week 2's game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday. The rookie apparently suffered the injury during practice this week, as he was not on the team's initial injury report. He was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. While Grant doesn't factor much into the […]
Hayden Hurst, Willie Henry Out For A Few More Weeks
The Baltimore Ravens will be without rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) and defensive tackle Willie Henry (hernia) a couple more weeks. Both players missed the Ravens season-opening win over Buffalo. Hurst 's timetable was three to four weeks, so it remains to be seen when he is available. When the rookie does return, he […]
Maurice Canady Ruled Out For Week 2
Baltimore Ravens reserve cornerback Maurice Canady (thigh) will miss Thursday's clash against the Cincinnati Bengals. Canady did not practice all week after reportedly tweaking the injury against Buffalo. He registered five tackles, with four being of the solo variety in Week 1. The third-year pro originally suffered a "minor strain" during practice in mid-August. Rookie […]
Hayden Hurst Ruled Out
Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) didn't practice all week and is ruled out for the Week 2 game against the Bengals on Thursday. Wide receiver Janarion Grant was limited the last two days but is questionable. Hurst may not be able to return for at least another week or two. In his […]
Kenneth Dixon Placed On IR
The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed running back De'Lance Turner to the active roster. That escalated quickly. Dixon just hasn't been able to avoid knee injuries in his career. He also missed all of the 2017 season. With Dixon out of the picture for at […]
Javorius Allen (RB, BAL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen is a last resort dart throw in deeper leagues. We are not thrilled about putting him on this list. We have never been interested in players who have been given multiple opportunities at fantasy relevance only to […]
Kenneth Dixon Expected To Miss Several Weeks
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) is expected to miss several weeks with his knee injury, according to a source that told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dixon had a game-high 44 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Bills before leaving with his injury. He has missed 20 of a potential […]
