Where Have All the Bell-Cow RBs Gone?

Picture this: It's not 2020 and you're not as old as you actually are. Instead, you're back in middle school, let's say seventh grade.

Week 9 Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Fliers

Robert Tonyan Chips In Only Five Yards

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught only one pass for five yards in the Packers 34-17 win over the 49ers in Week 9. On a night when Rodgers was torching the 49ers secondary it was disappointing Tonyan could not get in on the action. Tonyan burst onto the fantasy scene in Week 4 […]

Aaron Jones Expected To Play Thursday

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (calf) is expected to be active on Thursday night against the 49ers, barring any pre-game setbacks, according to a source.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (core) will not be activated from Injured Reserve to play on Thursday night against the 49ers.

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

Week 8 was a day of windy football and didn't feature too many wide receivers coming out of nowhere. But that doesn't mean the waiver wire cupboard is bare for fantasy managers, as there's some definite value to be had this week. Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR […]

Aaron Jones Listed As Questionable For Thursday

The Green Bay Packers are listing running back Aaron Jones (calf) as questionable for the Thursday night game against the 49ers.

Robert Tonyan Has Tough Matchup In Week 9

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will take on a 49ers team in Week 9 that has been tough on the tight end position so far in 2020. Tonyan bounced back last week with 79 receiving yards, but he will face a 49ers Defense that is allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight […]

Davante Adams Will Be A Top Play In Week 9

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will go up against a 49ers Defense that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to receivers in Week 9.
