Week 6 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

It's Week 6 in the NFL and the Cleveland Browns have now won two games! Everything we once knew has been radically changed...except that the Browns won partially because Joe Flacco couldn't beat them, and Joe Flacco failing to beat a team isn't a new development. The more things change, the more nothing changes! Anyway, […]

Week 6 Consistency Reports - All Positions

We now have over a quarter of a seasons worth of data at our fingertips and the cream has well and truly risen to the top. There are still some interesting names high in the rankings at quarterback and tight end. However, these are generally more variable positions. That is why both positions are often […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 6 Lineup

In an effort to expand my horizons, I've gotten involved with a bit of a... strange club at work. It came up organically, one co-worker to another, over a quick in-office chat. How familiar was I with card games? Oh yeah, I knew where this was going. "Pretty good," I said, "and even when I'm […]

Inside the Tent - Week 6 NFL Injury Insight

Seemingly, everyone in the NFL is dealing with a hamstring strain or a sprained MCL. Leonard Fournette has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue for weeks as well as Dalvin Cook. For the wide receivers, T.Y. Hilton and Geronimo Allison are dealing with hamstring strains as well. Sprained MCLs are also all the rage […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview

It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coach’s room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench […]

Greg Olsen To Play Sunday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is set to start in Week 6 against the Redskins, according to a team source. Olsen hasn't had any setbacks so far. It'll be Olsen's first action since he re-fractured his foot in the season opener. Despite the fact that he could be limited, Olsen is a low-end […]

Pass Rush vs. QB Matchups to Target/Avoid (Week 6)

In a unprecedented season of historic offensive production, identifying defensive units that apply a consistent pass rush is paramount. Passing has gone bananas.

Greg Olsen Listed As Questionable

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is officially questionable for Week 6 against the Redskins, although head coach Ron Rivera likes Olsen's chances of playing. Olsen is attempting to return after fracturing his foot in the season opener. He could be on a snap count, but Olsen is a low-end TE1 given how poor […]

Greg Olsen Practices In Full, Won't Be Held Back

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday, and head coach Ron Rivera said Olsen won't be held back if he plays in Week 6 against the Redskins.

Carolina Panthers left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) said he's on track to resume practicing next week and return on Nov. 4 to face the Buccaneers.

Defenses to Stream Against with Confidence

A football player is only as good as his matchup. For players on the fringes of fantasy rosters, that proves to be true more often than not. Take Blake Bortles, who has an average of 25.82 points per game (standard, four-point per passing touchdown) against weak pass defenses, such as the Chiefs, Patriots, and Jets. […]

D.J. Moore Shouldn't Be Started This Week

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver D.J. Moore shouldn't be in your fantasy lineup this week. While he had his most involved game in Week 5 against the New York Giants, the volume isn't yet there for him to be considered a flex option against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins have been one of the better […]

Devin Funchess A Flex Option For Week 6

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess should be considered a flex option for his Week 6 matchup against the Washington Redskins. Funchess comes off the back of a game where he struggled to make a significant impact against the New York Giants and cornerback Janoris Jenkins. Going into the matchup against the Redskins he will […]

Greg Olsen A Risky Start This Week

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen should be considered a risky start this week. Fantasy owners may be tempted to put him straight back into the team this week against the Washington Redskins it is not the easiest matchup for Olsen to return to. The Redskins have currently been one of the better teams against […]

Christian McCaffrey A Locked-In Starter This Week

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey should return great value this week in fantasy football. So far this season McCaffrey has not had a game where he has not had less than 90 yards (combined rushing and receiving). McCaffrey will look to add to the single touchdown he has scored against the New York Giants […]

Cam Newton A Good Option For Week 6

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a good option for fantasy owners this week. Coming off the back of a mediocre performance against the New York Giants Newton will look to bounce back against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins are one of the better defenses against quarterbacks so far this season (on average points per […]

Greg Olsen Practicing Wednesday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is practicing on Wednesday as he attempts to return from his injury in Week 6 against the Redskins.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 6

While the New England Patriots-Indianapolis Colts rivalry wasn't as close a contest as football fans had hoped for last Thursday night, many players returned productive numbers for fantasy owners.

Week 6 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Week 5 was a week of duds for many at the quarterback position, with ten starting quarterbacks scoring fewer than 15 fantasy points based on standard scoring. Some of those quarterbacks being universally owned and started as well. Disappointing performances aside, there were still plenty of encouraging games from low-owned quarterbacks. Detroit and New Orleans […]
