NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 5) - Targets and Avoids

Week 4 was finally a week where the underdogs came through. More than a quarter of entries in pools were knocked out thanks to the Rams, Colts,  Texans and Ravens all losing. My survivor plays were 4-2 last Sunday, as I managed to avoid the Texans and Ravens, with their opponents, the Panthers and Browns, […]

Jarvis Landry Still In Concussion Protocol

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Thursday. With the Browns playing on Monday night this week against the 49ers, it's going to be extremely hard to trust Landry in fantasy lineups unless he's cleared before Sunday. Odell Beckham Jr. will need to pick up the slack if […]

Digging Deeper Into Quarterback Data - NFL NextGen Stats

I can't believe it. Months of waiting, painful empty weekends, and now a quarter of the NFL season is suddenly gone! But I'm not going to lie, I love the moment when the whistle blows to end the week on Monday nights. It is just the confirmation that we have another full round of data […]

Fantasy Football Injuries - Stash 'Em or Drop 'Em?

Fantasy players are generally impatient sorts. That’s not a criticism, just a reality. There are only 13 regular season matchups and the results of every game feel so heavily magnified. Owners always want to improve their team, and they want to improve it now! So naturally, many fantasy owners don’t have the endurance or composure […]

Warning Signs: Week 4 Review

What a week it was. Not only did the Browns finally look like the team we expected, there were also numerous upsets all around the league. Don’t worry survivor pool participants - the Dolphins didn’t win. It wasn't that crazy of a week. But things were for sure crazy. The fact the Raiders, Panthers, Buccaneers, […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 5

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. […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 5

The deeper into the season we get, the harder it's going to be to find worthwhile waiver wire pickups. Rarely are the hot-ticket players going to be staring you in the face. This is where we have to use a little more speculation so we can pick them up during the proverbial calm before the […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

There were plenty of fireworks on Sunday, with eight teams scoring 30 or more points. The vultures also came out to roost, assuming that's what vultures do. In other words, several unknown players came onto the field simply to steal a touchdown away from a fantasy stud and frustrate fantasy owners. We won't list those […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Some of you have been receiving outstanding results from the running backs that you selected during your draft process. Unfortunately, many of you have endured injuries, disappointing output, and inconsistent patterns of usage with your runners. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have diminished your enthusiasm for some of the backs that […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 5

There will not be a stampede of fantasy players searching for tight ends this week. The Week 5 bye teams will not really kill any fantasy owners at the tight end position, as Detroit’s injured / inconsistent rookie T.J. Hockenson and Miami’s underwhelming Mike Gesicki are the two starting tight ends off. That does not […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

A quarter of the fantasy football season is over. That means no more waiting around to make important decisions about the state of your roster. The short bye weeks continue, as the Lions and Dolphins will be out of action, neither of which should alter the state of the waiver wire much. That said, here […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, CLE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: I've been very into the idea of tight end Ricky Seals-Jones for a few years now, but he never could put things together with the Arizona Cardinals. I eventually cut bait in all of my dynasty leagues, and of course now is when […]

Antonio Callaway (WR, CLE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway will be making his debut in Week 5 after being suspended for the first four games of the season due to violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 4 Outliers

Through the first four weeks of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better picture of the fantasy landscape as offensive roles continue to solidify. However, as we start to figure out who the go-to-guys are on each team, so are opposing defensive coordinators. Because of this, from week to week, certain studs […]

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 […]

Jarvis Landry Enters Concussion Protocol

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (concussion) was officially placed in the league's concussion protocol on Monday. Landry was able to turn in a career day before the head injury, catching eight passes for 167 yards. He appeared to hit his head on the turf while getting tackled at the end of the third quarter […]

Antonio Callaway Returning From Suspension

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway is returning from his four-game suspension this week. Callaway posted 43 receptions, 586 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie season and has upside in the Browns offense. With Jarvis Landry (concussion) suffering a head injury in Week 4, Callaway could immediately have a big role opposite Odell Beckham […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Scores In Week 4

Cleveland Browns tight end Ricky Seals-Jones had a decent day in Week 4 while filling in for the injured David Njoku (wrist), catching all three of his targets for 82 yards and one touchdown. Seals-Jones had a long play of 59 yards on a play where he was left wide open by the Ravens secondary. […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Slowed By Marlon Humphrey

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was contained for much of the day by Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Beckham was targeted seven times in the game but was only able to come down with two of them for 20 yards. The Ravens clearly made an effort to slow down Beckham, and the other […]

Jarvis Landry Has 167 Yards Against Ravens

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry had a career day in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens. Landry clearly had the favorable matchup in the Ravens secondary, as Marlon Humphrey locked down Odell Beckham Jr. Landry was targeted 10 times, catching eight balls for 167 yards. Landry's longest play of the day came on a […]

Nick Chubb Scores Three Touchdowns Against Ravens

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb absolutely exploded in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens, carrying the ball 20 times for 165 yards and a whopping three touchdowns. Chubb's biggest play came on an 88-yard touchdown run. The Ravens were without their talented defensive tackle Brandon Williams, and they missed him dearly as they struggled […]

Baker Mayfield Throws For 342 Yards Against Ravens

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield went 20 of 30 passing for 342 yards and one touchdown in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens. Mayfield didn't need to put the ball in the air much, but when he did he was effective. The Ravens put the clamps down on Odell Beckham Jr., but Mayfield was able […]

Jarvis Landry Ruled Out With Concussion

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (concussion) was ruled out of the game in Week 4 against the Ravens after suffering a concussion. The good news for his fantasy owners is that he had eight catches for 167 yards before exiting the game. He'll now be questionable for Week 5 against the 49ers on Monday […]

Rashard Higgins, Denzel Ward Inactive

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) and cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) are inactive for Week 4 against the Ravens. With Higgins out, Damion Ratley will be the third wideout behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry. With quarterback Baker Mayfield struggling so far this year, Ratley isn't really an option, […]
