Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks
I'm an introspective type of fellow, so in preparation for this season's first edition of Heroes and Zeroes (don't look for Week 1, it's in the clouds somewhere along with the missing episode of South Park), I decided to look back at some of last season's articles when I stumbled across this intro to a […]
Running Back Touch Breakdown - Week 1 Recap
Anytime I start a new project, I’m filled with so much excitement it’s hard not to start just dumping data on Twitter and sharing it with the world. That is how I have felt with this project for several weeks now. One thing I have always loved is collecting data on running backs. I truly […]
Wide Receiver Targets and Snaps - Week 1 Report

This applies to the weekly variances in how many opportunities your wide receivers are being allotted, both in terms of their snap count and in how many targets they […]
Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 2
One week down, 16 more weeks of under-the-radar booms and busts to go! My opening week of boom/bust predictions was as uneven as Eminem’s new album. While James White and Ted Ginn made me look like I may know a thing or two, DeSean Jackson ruined everything by posting a 5-146-2 line that made me […]
WR/CB Matchups to Target in DFS (Week 2)
Were you a bad enough dude to roster Phillip Dorsett against the Houston Texans last week? His smash game (at least for his price point) was a matchup-based play that was highlighted in the Week 1 version of this piece. It panned out extremely well. While Donte Moncrief didn't produce has planned, he did account […]
Dak Prescott - Patience Is a Virtue
Let me make one thing clear before we get into this: I am a New York Football Giants fan. When I bleed, only half of my blood reacts to the oxygen and turns red. The other half remains blue. (Blood actually is never blue, and the whole oxygen changing blood from blue to red thing […]
Browns Will Release Josh Gordon Monday
The Cleveland Browns will release wide receiver Josh Gordon on Monday after six tumultuous years with the team. Gordon, who didn't play in 2015 or 2016 while dealing with substance abuse issues, caught a 17-yard touchdown in Cleveland's season-opener, but had already been ruled out for Week 2 with a hamstring issue. While Gordon's future […]

Jarvis Landry Practicing In Full
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (thigh) practiced in full on Wednesday. Landry should have no problems suiting up in Week 2 and has an excellent matchup against a Saints secondary that almost gave up 50 points to Bucs quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 1. Last year's leader in receptions, Landry had seven grabs on […]
Tyrod Taylor (QB, CLE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor is a top add of the week regardless of format. Taylor always got the short end of the stick in Buffalo from both a real-life perspective as well as fantasy. Yet he puts up solid production off the […]
Josh Gordon A WR3 In Week 2
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon wound up catching just one pass for a 17-yard touchdown in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gordon saw just three targets in the game as quarterback Tyrod Taylor looked toward Jarvis Landry often on a rainy, slippery day. The Browns are now listing Gordon as a starter and […]
David Njoku Looks To Improve In Week 2
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku turned in a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just three passes and struggling with drops in the game. The second-year tight end also tweaked his ankle during the game but was able to return to the field. He will look to bounce back in Week […]
Jarvis Landry A Fantastic Option In Week 2
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry saw a whopping 15 targets come his way during his team's Week 1 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Look for Landry to continue to lead his team in targets in Week 2 when they travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints. While Landry saw his normal allotment […]
Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 2
As is tradition, Week 1 provided the usual head-scratching performances we've grown accustomed to start the year. Matthew Stafford looked discombobulated, the Amari Cooper rebound year did not get off to a good start, and LeSean McCoy looks hopeless in Buffalo. All these disappointments aside, we did end up with some positive takeaways. Here you'll find your […]
Duke Johnson A Flex Option In Week 2
Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson finished third on his team with six targets in Week 1. Unfortunately, he was only able to catch one of those targets for eight yards in the contest as quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled with his accuracy. Johnson has a good chance to bounce back in Week 2 as the […]
Carlos Hyde Looks To Find End Zone Again in Week 2
Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde found the end zone in Week 1, although he only gained 62 yards on 22 carries in the contest. The veteran running back will look to improve upon his efficiency when he travels to New Orleans to take on the Saints in Week 2. Hyde should benefit from playing […]
Nick Chubb Will Hope For More Work In Week 2
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb saw just three touches in his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chubb looked good in his limited work, ripping off a 17-yard run and finishing with 21 yards. For now, Chubb has been operating strictly as the backup to starting running back Carlos Hyde. While […]
Tyrod Taylor Draws Excellent Week 2 Matchup
Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled with his accuracy in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing just 15 of his 40 pass attempts. Despite the poor showing, the veteran quarterback is a prime candidate to bounce back in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. While it rained consistently during the entire game in […]
Josh Gordon Now Listed As Starting WR For Browns
The Cleveland Browns have listed Josh Gordon as one of the starting wide receivers ahead of their Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints. Gordon was supposedly not going to start in Week 1 and was only expected to play around 20 snaps. Instead, Gordon drew the Week 1 start and played on 78% […]

Week 2 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
Week 1 was not a memorable opening week for NFL tight ends. While New England’s Rob Gronkowski got off to a great start (123 yards and a TD), other top tight ends were not as fortunate. Greg Olsen, Delanie Walker and David Njoku suffered injuries, Zach Ertz dropped passes like he was Amari Cooper, while Evan […]
