Danny Amendola Looking To Build Off Week 15 Performance

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola attracted a team-high 13 targets last week and has benefitted the most from Marvin Jones' (ankle) injury. Amendola does have to deal with a rookie quarterback starting, but that doesn't seem to be as big of an issue for him as it is for fellow receiver Kenny Golladay. Amendola […]

NCAA Prospects To Watch For Dynasty Leagues: Bowl Week One

A few weeks ago we began looking at different fantasy positions each edition and highlighting some of the key future fantasy stars to watch on that specific Saturday. With the bowl games now all that's left, we're not going to take it week by week, but I'll separate this into three sections: Before Christmas, Before […]

David Blough Not A Recommended Week 16 Start

Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough struggled against one of the more tame defenses in the NFL in Week 15, throwing for just 260 yards and two interceptions on 43 pass attempts, and things are not going to get any easier with the Denver Broncos on deck in Week 16. Blough has had a negative effect […]

Kenny Golladay A Risky WR3 In Week 16

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay should be dominating without Marvin Jones (ankle) and T.J. Hockenson (ankle) in the lineup, but that has been far from the case with rookie David Blough starting at quarterback. Golladay only received seven targets in Week 15 and has seen his stock continue to plummet without Matthew Stafford (back) […]

Kerryon Johnson Expected To Return Against Broncos

The Detroit Lions haven't made anything official yet, but The Athletic's Chris Burke expects running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) to come off Injured Reserve and rejoin the lineup for Week 16 against the Broncos.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 16) - Targets and Avoids

The Atlanta Falcons delivered the biggest blow in Week 15 to whatever remains of survivor pools with a last-second win against the 49ers as 10-point road dogs. Just more than six percent of entrants took the Niners on Run Your Pool's site-wide distribution pick. That's because San Fran was the sixth-most selected team. There was only […]

Benching Star Players? Don't Dance With Who Brung Ya

The common adage is to "start your studs" or, in more folksy terms, "dance with the one who brung ya." The common thought between it all is simply that certain guys on your team have been solid for you all year and gotten you into the finals or 3rd place game, where you're playing for […]

Bo Scarbrough Limited In Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Scarbrough missed the Week 15 game against the Buccaneers, but he could be on track to return this Sunday in a matchup with the Broncos on the road. Even so, Scarbrough could be limited for a tanking Lions team in […]

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Jameis Winston, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller

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. […]

Matthew Stafford Placed On IR

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was placed on the injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season. Had the Lions been fighting for a playoff spot, there is the possibility that Stafford could have returned, but at this point shutting him down for the season was the obvious choice. Stafford was on pace for a career […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Kenyan Drake, Mike Boone, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller, Ryan Tannehill, and Tyler Higbee were all freely available on waivers at some point this season, if not last week. These are the type of players that become unexpected league-winners and this is why you never stop playing the wire up until the curtain is drawn on […]

Week 15 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 15, the quarterback position fell according to plan for the most part. Lamar Jackson threw for five touchdown passes against a soft Jets pass defense finishing as the No. 1 quarterback on the week, while Jameis Winston was able to play with a broken thumb to finish as the No. 2 quarterback on […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 16 Lightning Round

After injuries destroyed many a playoff hope in Week 14, we saw some heroes rise from the ashes to guide us through Week 15. Still, injuries to Dalvin Cook, Chris Godwin and others would keep the medical industry afloat as the season winds down. There's no shortage of waiver action heading into the traditional FF […]

David Blough Posts Underwhelming Week 15 Performance

Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough was not able to get much going in the Lions Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Blough completed 24-of-43 attempts for 260 scoreless yards and two interceptions on the day. The rookie also accounted for 19 yards on the ground on five attempts. Blough is clearly not ready […]

Danny Amendola Posts Solid Performance In Week 15 Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola took full advantage of Marvin Jones (ankle) being placed on the injured reserve. Amendola hauled in 8 catches for 102 yards in the Lions Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The catches and yards led the Lions receivers this week, with no other player on the Lions […]

Kenny Golladay Disappoints In Week 15

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay seriously let down fantasy owners in Week 15. The third-year wide receiver was only able to haul in three catches for 44 yards on one of the most important days of the fantasy year. All the blame can't fall on Golladay though, as rookie quarterback David Blough was just […]

Bo Scarbrough Inactive Against Buccaneers

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is officially inactive for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Scarbrough wasn't able to practice on Thursday or Friday, so it was likely a longshot for him to play anyway. Ty Johnson, J.D. McKissic, and practice-squad call-up Wes Hills will lead the backfield in Scarbrough's absence. All […]

Bo Scarbrough A Game-Time Decision

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is a game-time decision for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-year-old is trending in the wrong direction, with two DNPs on Thursday and Friday after practicing in limited fashion on Wednesday. Even if healthy, Scarbrough is hard to trust against the Buccaneers' league-best run defense. […]
