Gardner Minshew (QB, JAX) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Gardner Minshew mania has reached a fever pitch. The mustachioed signal-caller has led the Jaguars to two straight wins and has thrown for 905 yards, seven touchdowns and only one interception in four games to begin the year with Nick Foles (collarbone) on […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 5)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Kyle Allen Expected To Start In Week 5

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that he expects quarterback Kyle Allen to start in Week 5 against the Jaguars. There is still no timetable for Cam Newton (foo) to return. In a good matchup with Houston's vulnerable secondary, Allen wasn't very impressive, going 24-for-34 (70.6 percent) with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also […]

Greg Olsen Quiet Against Texans

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen had two catches for five yards in Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. It was a tough one for Olsen, who had gotten off to a strong start to the season. It's safe to assume that Olsen won't have a game as poor as this again, but it's also […]

Curtis Samuel Doesn't Do Much Against Texans

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel was targeted seven times in Sunday's win over the Houston Texans, bringing in three passes for 32 yards. He also added a one-yard carry. Samuel's target share should be encouraging, but he just wasn't able to bring in enough of those targets to make an impact. Samuel still has […]

D.J. Moore Quiet Against Texans

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore caught three passes for 44 yards in Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. Moore was targeted five times. Moore's involvement now that Kyle Allen is the team's starting quarterback has decreased significantly, and while we only have a two-game sample to draw conclusions from, there's still some reason to […]

Jarius Wright Catches Five Passes

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jarius Wright had the most catches of any Panthers wide receiver in Week 4, catching five passes for 59 yards. While Wright's essentially the fifth option in the team's passing game, he's been on the field for a good chunk of the team's plays this year. He's worth a waiver spot […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Strong Week 4

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey was the definition of a workhorse, carrying the ball 27 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and also adding 86 receiving yards while catching all 10 of his targets. Houston has a solid defense and held McCaffrey to 3.4 yards per carry, but the Panthers back is going […]

Kyle Allen Loses Three Fumbles

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen played in Houston in college, with his last start for the University of Houston ending in him getting benched. On Sunday, he returned to the city as the starting quarterback for the Panthers, throwing for 232 yards on 24-for-34 passing. He didn't throw for a touchdown and lost three fumbles, […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target In Week 4

In Week 3, several of the wide receivers that were recommended in this column went off which helped to make up for a lesser showing in Week 2. The highlight of Week 2 was the three-touchdown performance from Mike Evans where he absolutely scorched the Giants secondary for 190 yards. Tyler Boyd had a modest performance […]

Week 4 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

As you've probably figured out already, fantasy football is a roller coaster ride. It's give and take. It's one step forward, two steps backwards most of the time. No game in Week 3 encapsulates this more than Bucs-Giants. Tampa's stud wideout Mike Evans had six catches for 89 scoreless yards through two weeks. Then he […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

Through three weeks of the season, it sure looks like we'll see a Patriots-Chiefs AFC Championship rematch. Both of those teams look unstoppable. My one qualm with New England is they've yet to face a formidable opponent. The combined record of New England's opponents is 0-9. Now they get a real test on the road […]

Curtis Samuel Should Shine Against the Texans

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel was effective last week against the Arizona Cardinals, even with Kyle Allen playing quarterback in place of the injured Cam Newton (foot). In Week 3, Samuel hauled in five of his seven targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. Samuel should have similar success against Houston Texans cornerback Johnathan […]

Cam Newton Won't Return Until He's 100 Percent

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) confirmed that he's dealing with a mild Lisfranc injury and said he's doing everything in his power to come back. He could be out for a week or up to six weeks, and he wants to be 100 percent healthy when he returns. In other words, don't expect Newton […]

D.J. Moore Attempts To Rebound In Houston

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore had a semi-rough matchup against the Cardinals last Sunday. Despite finding the end zone, the 22-year-old was targeted just twice on the day; however, Moore continues to lead the team in receptions and looks on the year. The sophomore is a risky option in Week 4, and while he […]

Christian McCaffrey Looks To Stay On Track In Houston

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey had a season-high 153 rushing yards in Week 3 against the Cardinals. While the 23-year-old hasn't been as involved as a receiver throughout the past two weeks, he still remains one of the most efficient fantasy options at his position. The Texans Defense has allowed running backs to rack […]

Kyle Allen Looking For Repeat Performance

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen was the talk of the town after his splendid Week 3 performance. Last Sunday, the sophomore put on a show against the Arizona Cardinals, finishing with 261 yards and four touchdowns on 19-for-26 passing. While fantasy managers would be taking a gamble by starting the 23-year-old, the Texans have given […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 4

Week 3 was an exciting one, with big injuries, big comebacks, and big debuts. Also, another blowout loss by the Miami Dolphins as they continue the unprecedented Great Tanking of 2019.
