Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

The bye weeks officially begin, although a couple of teams have already taken theirs prematurely due to COVID. Hopefully, no other games are delayed but we know to always be prepared for unexpected changes to the schedule. The waiver wire will be more important in 2020 than any previous season, especially after waivers clear in […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

While Week 4 hasn't yielded as many injuries as Weeks 2 and 3, we're still tracking several relevant names potentially going down and who would step up. Key injuries include: Austin Ekeler (hamstring), Nick Chubb (knee), Noah Fant (ankle), O.J. Howard (Achilles), Tyler Eifert (concussion), and Jordan Akins (concussion). And of course, there are the Covid-related […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Some of you were forced to contend with significant injuries to your running backs during the matchups of Week 4, while others experienced frustrating output and inconsistent patterns of usage. The sudden bye weeks for Tennessee, and Pittsburgh, also created unexpected challenges for anyone with Derrick Henry, or James Conner. Uncertainty surrounding the status of New […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Another week is in the books, though not how we expected, with one game postponed until later in the year and Patriots/Chiefs postponed until Monday night. We saw some good wide receiver performances this week, some of which came from unexpected places. We saw two long touchdowns from random Chargers receivers, for example! Who expected […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

The 2020 NFL season has not been easy on fantasy football general managers. If fantasy footballers did not already have enough to contend with between injuries (O.J. Howard, Noah Fant, Jordan Akins) and COVID preventing their players on Pittsburgh and Tennessee from taking the field, here comes the first round of byes! No game for […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

With week 4 in the books, we have completed a quarter of the NFL season for each team. It has been a wild ride with COVID positive tests and an ever-growing list of injuries, but the waiver wire just keeps on churning. We got to see some explosive passing performances with Dak Prescott throwing for […]

Week 4 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

There were 17 quarterbacks that scored at least 20-fantasy points in Week 4 with Dak Prescott leading the charge. Teddy Bridgewater, Justin Herbert and Sam Darnold were some unfamiliar faces that cracked the top-10 this week, but other than those guys none of the big producers really surprised us. As a whole, tight ends weren't […]

Reggie Bonnafon (RB, CAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make things clear here: Bonnafon is the patch of a patch, so make sure you only acquire him if you can do so for absolutely-freaking-free or pass on him. With Christian McCaffrey down to injury, the Panthers were forced to play Mike Davis […]

Panthers Defense Stifles Cardinals

The Carolina Panthers Defense did a good job limiting a strong Cardinals offense in a win. They didn't have many statistics to show for their performance, but this was a great job by the unit to help the team win a game no one thought they could. They still shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar, […]

Joey Slye Misses One Kick In Total

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye made one field-goal and all four extra-point attempts in a 31-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Slye missed a kick, his first miss after 16 straight makes, though it didn't matter because the game was already in hand. The 24-year-old is 9 of 10 on field-goals and 7 of 9 […]

Ian Thomas Catches Touchdown Pass In Win

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas hauled in two of five targets for five receiving yards and a touchdown in a 31-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Thomas was more involved in this one than any game this year, though his five receiving yards were ironically his lowest total of the season as well. He […]

Curtis Samuel Posts 51 Receiving Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel only saw four targets but was efficient with them, catching three for 51 receiving yards, including a long of 24 yards. Samuel did also handle two carries, though he went backwards on them. The 24-year-old was seen as a deep sleeper coming into the 2020 campaign, but he hasn't […]

D.J. Moore Quiet Against Cardinals

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore had a quiet day in a win over the Cardinals. Moore was targeted six times and hauled in four passes for 49 receiving yards. The 23-year-old probably didn't benefit from Teddy Bridgewater's spread-the-ball-around approach, as he wasn't peppered with targets like he was in Week 2. Moore surprisingly took […]

Robby Anderson Leads Team In Receiving

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson saw a season-high 11 targets and turned them into eight catches for 99 yards in a big win over Arizona. Anderson worked the intermediate parts of the field all day and Bridgewater found him, continuously moving the chains. The former Jet looked great out there and appears to have […]

Reggie Bonnafon Exceeds 50 Scrimmage Yards, Scores Once

Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon carried the ball 10 times for 53 rushing yards and caught two passes for 18 yards and a touchdown. Bonnafon ripped off a couple long runs in this one and looked good. He'll never get an easier touchdown than his receiving score, as he was left wide open by […]

Mike Davis Records 111 Scrimmage Yards, One Touchdown

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis enjoyed another great game as the team's lead back. Davis turned 21 touches into 111 scrimmage yards and a score in a big victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He used his muscle at the goal-line to punch in a one-yard score, which got the scoring started for the Panthers. […]

Teddy Bridgewater Puts Up 300 Yards, Three Touchdowns

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed 26 of 37 passes for 276 passing yards and two scores along with 32 rushing yards and a touchdown. Bridgewater had his best game as a Panther in the victory over the Cardinals, as he was throwing darts all over the field. The lone mistake was an interception when […]

Week 4 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Another week, and another six out of the top 10 defenses correct. Some of the top ones were gimmes, and I'm a little surprised by how the Chargers Defense laid an egg versus Carolina and the way the Bills Defense just seemed totally lost against the Rams in the second half. I'm happy I trusted […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts: Week 4

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of all the injuries in the NFL. Trying to field a lineup in fantasy football lineup in standard leagues, dynasty leagues or DFS contests is harder than finding a decent player on the New York Jets offense or New York Giants Defense. Injuries create openings for […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Avoid - Week 4

Three weeks into the NFL season, the PPGA (points per game against) stat is beginning to stabilize and give us a better understanding of CB matchups. The truth is that defensive performance against a position is mostly driven by the receiver. For example, WR2s are only averaging 2.7 PPG against the Bengals. That is more […]
