Odell Beckham Jr. A WR2 In Week 7

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will look to bounce back this weekend after turning in a two-catch, 25-yard performance in Week 6.

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

It's been a month since the last time we took a look at our beloved quarterbacks. Numbers are numbers, and numbers don't lie.

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 6 was like the 2020 of fantasy football weeks. All those great matchups meant nothing, those studs let you down, and your bench likely went crazy.

Disaster Recovery - Week 6's Studs Turned Duds

Week 6 was a pretty low scoring fantasy week for the top players in the league. If not for two Monday night heavy-hitters, only three running backs would have reached 18 points in PPR this week. Even still, just five got there. (In Week 5, 14 players reached that mark. In Week 4, 16 players.) […]

Dynasty Trade Targets for Rebuilding Teams

Maybe 2020 isn't going the way you planned. That could go for a lot of us in a lot of ways but this specifically refers to fantasy football. Maybe your dynasty team that once looked like a strong contender is sitting at the bottom of the standings with one lonely win or none at all. […]
