NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets and Avoids

A full Sunday slate of football, watching the Red Zone channel, and not having to change the channel finally felt like a return to normalcy. What felt even more normal was Phillip Rivers throwing a late-game interception, the Lions losing in heartbreaking fashion, the Broncos losing yet another close one, and Baker Mayfield looking lost. My […]

Re-Shaping NFL Depth Charts with Week 1 Snap Count Data

A common complaint heading into Week 1 was that some NFL teams had posted depth charts that felt a little...off. Some teams didn't have 11 starters. Some had guys who we knew were in for big roles not listed as starters. Things were not clear. After one week of actual play, we have a clearer […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Decline From Week 1

This series carries over from the preseason, where I evaluated offensive play-caller tendencies by division in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge of how each team's play-caller historically operates and compiled data to help make informed decisions throughout the regular season as well. After […]

Browns Defense Picks Up Three Sacks In Win

The Cleveland Browns Defense picked up three sacks in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Cleveland also recovered a Joe Burrow fumble near the Cincinnati goal line in the game, which wasn't as close as the final score indicates. Myles Garrett led the way as he was the one who forced […]

Austin Hooper Goes For 21 Yards In Win

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught two of four targets for 21 scoreless yards in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. It was another quiet game for Hooper, who only caught two passes for 15 yards in the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. There was some hope he would […]

Jarvis Landry Catches Three Passes

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught three of his four targets for 46 yards in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. It was a quiet game for Landry, who can normally be counted upon to see more than four targets in most games. That being said, the Cleveland offense under […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Scores In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught four of his six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Beckham and Baker Mayfield connected for a pretty 43-yard touchdown in the second quarter to give Cleveland their second TD of the evening. That went […]

Kareem Hunt Scores Pair Of TDs

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt had a big day in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Hunt carried the ball 10 times for 86 yards and a score while adding two catches for 15 yards and another TD in the winning effort. Hunt got wide open behind the closest defender […]

Nick Chubb Scores Twice In Week 2 Win

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 22 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Chubb also tacked on a nine-yard reception on the way to Cleveland's first win of the season. It was an excellent performance for Chubb, who had a […]

Baker Mayfield Throws Two TDs In Week 2

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 16 of 23 passes for 218 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 35-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Mayfield was effective in the win, finding Odell Beckham Jr. for a 43-yard score in the second quarter and a wide-open Kareem Hunt for a six-yard […]

Jarvis Landry Active In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) is officially active for Thursday's Week 2 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones is inactive. Landry's been dealing with this hip issue all year after offseason surgery, but it didn't keep him off the field in Week 1, so it's no surprise that even […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 2

Finally, Week 1 of football is in the books. Going into the two Monday night games, 686 points were scored. In comparison, week one of the 2019 season had 678 points scored going into the Monday night games. Clearly, contrary to many predictions, the NFL teams didn’t seem to miss a beat with no preseason. […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell: Week 2

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

The Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

By this time, you’ve made your waiver wire claims for week 2. Hopefully, you got your guy. But, if you’re still deciding on players to keep and get rid of for next week and moving forward, then you’ve come to the right place. The obvious cuts are players that are lost for the year due […]

Browns Defense A Sneaky Option In Week 2

The Cleveland Browns Defense did not fare well in a 38-6 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. Of course, the Ravens have one of the most dangerous offenses in the league, so last week's outcome isn't all that surprising. The Browns have a chance to bounce back in Week 2's Thursday night […]

Austin Hooper A TE2 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper had a slow debut for his new team in Week 1. Hooper finished with just two catches for 15 yards and was overshadowed by fellow tight end David Njoku, who found the end zone. Hooper could be a larger part of the offense going forward as Njoku landed on […]

Jarvis Landry Expected To Suit Up Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) is expected to play in his team's Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Landry missed practice on Tuesday and was limited on Wednesday. The extra rest appears to have been precautionary as Landry had hip surgery back in February. Landry will face off against […]

Odell Beckham Jr. A WR3 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had an up-and-down game in Week 1's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He led the team with 10 targets but only finished with three catches for 22 yards against an excellent Baltimore secondary. He should find it much easier to operate in Week 2's Thursday night game […]

Kareem Hunt A Low-End RB2 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt outproduced starter Nick Chubb in Week 1's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Hunt out-touched Chubb 17 to 11 and outgained him in total yards, 81 to 66. Week 1's game script favored Hunt as the Browns fell behind early and shifted into catch-up mode. Cleveland is installed as […]

Nick Chubb A Solid Play In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb had a slow afternoon in his team's Week 1 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Chubb finished with just 11 total touches for 66 yards, six fewer touches than backup Kareem Hunt. Of course, the Browns fell behind early in that contest and shifted into catch-up mode, a game […]

Baker Mayfield Hard To Trust In Week 2

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield turned in a disappointing performance in a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, throwing for just 189 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He will look to put that behind him when he takes on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2's Thursday night matchup. While Mayfield wasn't […]

Warning Signals From Week 1

The NFL season is finally underway and even with just a one-week sample size, there are still some indicators dictating that some of these players could experience a down year in production. Even though we shouldn’t overreact to the first week of the season, the writing is still on the wall for a lot of […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 1 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 1, the quarterback position was rather stable as Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray finished inside the top-five. Through Sunday's games, Gardner Minshew II finished as QB12 which surprised most, while Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes underwhelmed just a little, finishing as QB2's. Tight end was a little […]
