Dynasty Quarterbacks: 2020 Rookie Class Preview

With the injury suffered by Tua Tagovailoa in Alabama's recent game against Mississippi, it feels like a good time to evaluate the top tier of college quarterbacks who are preparing to enter the NFL. While one or two of these players may not declare, it's more likely the injury to Tua nudges more of them -- […]

Thanksgiving Thursday Matchups Analysis - Week 13 Starts/Sits

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Deshaun Watson and his motley crew of pass catchers helped to propel the Texans to an AFC South-leading 7-6 record after pulling out a victory over the Indianapolis Colts last Thursday. DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller combined for over 200 receiving yards and two scores in the win. On the other […]

Week 13 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

There’s nothing worse than having a turkey at the tight end position! Sorry for the Thanksgiving-related lead. Sometimes I cannot help myself. The fact is that there is something for fantasy football players to be thankful for besides sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. No NFL teams are on bye for the first time in a […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nyheim Hines is quite an efficient player, but he can be a little frustrating for fantasy owners. Just this past week, against Houston, Hines had a relatively good game. You wouldn’t think so given his 61 yards from scrimmage on 11 touches, […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 13 Lightning Round

Week 13 approaches, which signifies the final "regular season" game for most of your leagues and no more bye weeks. Those lining up for a first-round bye should start eyeing Week 15 matchups, but don't forget to seal the deal. To help you look towards those precious playoff weeks, here is the waiver wire lightning […]

Packers Defense Quiet Against 49ers

The Green Bay Packers Defense tallied three sacks and allowed 38 points in a Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. An Aaron Rodgers fumble on the Packers' opening drive forced the defense out there sooner than they thought. A balanced rushing attack and a precise Jimmy Garoppolo bested the Green Bay defense for […]

Mason Crosby Held Without A Kick Attempt

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby didn't attempt a kick or extra-point in a 37-8 Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Crosby had a quiet day because the 49ers silenced his team's offense. After Green Bay scored their lone touchdown of the game, they opted to go for two points rather than kick […]

Jimmy Graham Blanketed By 49ers

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham caught one of two targets for seven yards in a 37-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old appeared to haul in a deep ball from Aaron Rodgers, though the refs ruled it an incomplete pass- and Green Bay didn't challenge it. Unfortunately, Graham still would have […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Records One Catch

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught one of three targets for seven yards. The 25-year-old caught a deep ball from Rodgers in the end zone, though he was well out of bounds. That was the closest Valdes-Scantling has come to scoring a touchdown since his Week 7 explosion against the Oakland Raiders. Next […]

Geronimo Allison Quiet Again In Week 12

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison caught three of four targets for nine yards in his team's 37-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Allison has six catches for 15 yards- in his last two games combined. The 25-year-old has gone over 50 receiving yards just once and has only two touchdowns this year. […]

Davante Adams Finds End Zone For First Time

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of 12 targets for 43 yards and his first touchdown of the year. Adams caught a flip pass from Rodgers for Green Bay's only points, then hauled in a lob pass for the two-point conversion. It's disappointing that it took until Week 12 for Adams to […]

Jamaal Williams Racks Up Garbage-Time Points

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams picked up 45 rushing yards on 11 totes and caught seven of eight targets for 35 receiving yards. Williams out-touched fellow back Aaron Jones 18-13, though nine of his touches came when the game was over and finished. Besides these late touches, Williams, like Jones, found running room […]

Aaron Jones Held In Check By 49ers

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 13 times for 38 yards and was held without a catch. The 49ers run defense wasn't great the last few weeks- they must have been angry about it because they were dominant in this one. Jones was completely swallowed up by San Francisco, though that's […]

Aaron Rodgers Stifled By 49ers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 20 of 33 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown. The 49ers dominant defensive line pressured Rodgers on virtually every play, sacking him five times while the secondary blanketed the Green Bay receivers. The 35-year-old signal-caller averaged a career-low 3.2 yards per attempt in his worst showing of […]

The Jets surprised many with a 34-point performance while the Saints matched them with 34 points of their own in a less-surprising outcome. This marks the final […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Devin Singletary, Benny Snell, N'Keal Harry

Two more weeks left in the regular season, Rotoballers. Two more weeks to fight for a spot in the playoffs. Or if you're lucky and sitting at a 9-2 record (or thereabouts), two more weeks to rub your opponents' faces in your complete and utter dominance of the league. As always, I'm here to shift […]

Packers Defense A Decent Option Against 49ers

The Green Bay Packers Defense will face Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Garoppolo hasn't been careful with the football this year, as he's committed 17 turnovers in 10 games. The Packers have intercepted nine passes this year, ranking eighth in the NFL. Garoppolo has been sacked at least once in […]

Mason Crosby Could Have Quiet Day In Week 12

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby could be in for a quiet day against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Crosby has made 13 of 14 field goals and all 29 extra points. San Francisco has been stingy to kickers, allowing just 14 extra-points and 11 field goals in 10 games. In a game […]

Jimmy Graham Faces Tough Challenge Against 49ers

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham will square off with the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Graham was given veteran's rest again this week so that coupled with the Week 11 bye should have him feeling well-rested ahead of a clash with the league's best pass defense. The 32-year-old has gone over 50 […]

Geronimo Allison Not A Recommended Option

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison isn't a recommended option against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Allison has topped 50 receiving yards once this year and has just two receiving touchdowns in 10 games. The silver lining is the fact that the 25-year-old has been on the field for at least 63 […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Can't Be Trusted

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling can't be trusted for fantasy purposes right now ahead of a Week 12 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers' number-one pass defense. In Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers, the 25-year-old was held without a catch and played a season-low 17 percent of the snaps. Valdes-Scantling put up […]

Davante Adams Gets Toughest Matchup Yet

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will square off with the San Francisco 49ers' number-one pass defense in Week 12. Green Bay isn't taking any chances with their star wide receiver's health, as they've limited Adams' practice reps in both sessions this week. With practice and bye week rest, Adams will be good to […]
