Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
This could be the most exciting installment of waiver wire adds in a while. Not that any of these choices are necessarily league-winners but at least we have a bunch of new names to ponder. Bye weeks are nearly over but this one will be particularly tough with the high-scoring Chiefs, Vikings, Chargers, and Cardinals […]

[…]
Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 12
We saw some monster weeks at the quarterbacks position, with four quarterbacks topping 37 points, and ten scoring over 25 points. These weren't all big names putting up these points either, as low-owned quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and even Jeff Driskel had some big numbers in Week 11. That means we've got plenty […]

Bo Scarbrough (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Running back Bo Scarbrough certainly made his presence felt in his Detroit Lions debut in Week 11. He led the team with 55 rushing yards and 14 attempts and scored the team's first touchdown of the game. The Lions have struggled to run […]
Week 11 Surprises? We Must Overreact - Jeff Driskel, Bo Scarbrough, Ryan Griffin
In Week 11, Josh Allen scorched the Dolphins Defense for three touchdowns through the air and one touchdown on the ground, finishing as the No. 1 quarterback on the week. As expected, Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott finished as top-five quarterbacks, while Sam Darnold rebounded in a "get well" matchup against the Redskins. Kyle Allen […]
The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 12)
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 […]
Matthew Stafford Week-To-Week
Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia is calling quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) week-to-week.

His practice statuses in the upcoming weeks will give us a better idea of how close he is […]
T.J. Hockenson A Non-Factor In Lions Week 11 Loss
Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson was quiet once again, posting just one catch on two targets for six yards in Week 11. There are just too many mouths to feed on this Lions squad for Hockenson to consistently get targets. Hockenson has surpassed the 32-yard receiving mark just once since his outlier Week […]
Jeff Driskel Solid In Lions Loss
Detroit Lions backup quarterback Jeff Driskel did his best on a day where the Lions Defense was nowhere to be seen, but it was ultimately not enough to get the win. Driskel completed 15-of-26 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns, while also adding 51 rushing yards and a score on the ground in the […]
Bo Scarbrough Scores In Lions Debut
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough took control of the Lions backfield in Week 11, rushing 14 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Scarbrough surprisingly out-snapped both Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic and had 14-of-19 Lions rushing attempts just one day after being promoted from the practice squad. It is very […]
Marvin Jones Scores Twice In Week 11 Loss
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones had a big day in the Lions Week 11 loss to the Cowboys, catching 4-of-5 targets for 43 yards and two scores on the day. Jones proved to be a useful fantasy piece even with backup quarterback Jeff Driskel under center for the second consecutive week. The Lions did […]
Kenny Golladay Quiet In Week 11
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay caught 1-of-5 targets for 34 yards in the Lions Week 11 loss to the Cowboys. Backup quarterback Jeff Driskel targeted Golladay, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola the same amount of times on Sunday. Not exactly what fantasy owners were hoping for. Without Matthew Stafford (back) under center, Golladay's fantasy […]
Matthew Stafford Could Miss Up To Six Weeks
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) could miss up to six weeks due to tiny, non-displaced fractures in his upper thoracic spine. Stafford will have another scan later this week to determine his status going forward, but there is no firm timetable until we know how his bones are healing. There's a chance that Stafford […]
