Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 7

The bye week difficulties continue this week with Carolina, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay all getting their rest in Week 7. It should be noted, however, that just because a player is currently in their bye week, doesn't mean you should avoid them on the waiver wire. In fact, this is often the easiest way […]

Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo Allison Out

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Davante Adams (toe), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) and Geronimo Allison (chest, concussion) all were listed as out of practice in the estimated report on Wednesday. Tight end Jimmy Graham (ankle) was also listed as did not participate. Green Bay's receivers are really banged up, which led them to sign Ryan […]

Jace Sternberger Designated To Return From IR

The Green Bay Packers have designated rookie tight end Jace Sternberger (ankle) as one of two players to return from Injured Reserve this year, according to a source. The third-round pick has yet to play in the NFL, but he should be able to help the Packers in a few weeks. With veteran Jimmy Graham […]

Packers Sign Ryan Grant For Receiver Depth

The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent wide receiver Ryan Grant on Wednesday and waived running back Tra Carson in a corresponding move, according to a source. With Davante Adams (toe) missing the last two games and Geronimo Allison also injured on Monday night, the Packers need some more receiver depth. Grant had four catches for […]

Packers Won't Reduce Jimmy Graham's Role

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the team has no plans to reduce tight end Jimmy Graham's role despite his ineffectiveness and a dropped touchdown pass on Monday night against the Lions. The declining veteran caught two passes on five targets for 17 yards in Week 6 and has just 14 receptions for […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7

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. […]

Running Back Metrics That Matter - NFL NextGen Stats

It's been a month--a full month!--since the last time we took a look at our beloved running backs. I don't think there is a hotter topic of discussion between pro- and anti-analytics than rushing. The guys fighting for stat-supremacy are all about using the passing game as much as possible while ditching the run; the […]

Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, there was some debate on who would be the WR2 in Green Bay this year. We all know just how good Davante Adams is, and with the second wide receiver spot up for grabs, it’s between Marquez Valdes-Scantling […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 6 Outliers

In Week 6, several players exploded in fantasy lineups. There were a few receivers that were above the rest of the pack in Week 6, such as Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Chris Godwin and Tyreek Hill, but there shouldn't be any surprises there as those guys should have been in fantasy lineups. At the quarterback […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

All of a sudden, the Chargers look like one of the worst teams in football and the Jets look like a playoff contender. Maybe things won't shake out that way in the end but it goes to show how quickly things change in the "Not For Long" NFL. For that reason, we advise looking at […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Some of you have been rewarded for your meticulous roster planning by receiving excellent production from your running backs. Unfortunately, many of you have been equally prepared when making roster decisions, but have been undermined by injuries, inconsistent usage, or underwhelming performances. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have forced you to […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

The Jets are back! OK, maybe not back because they were never here but at least there's some actual hope and fantasy value to be had from a previously winless team. The tight end landscape has changed drastically again, as Hunter Henry returns right at 60% ownership, while breakout second-year Seahawk Will Dissly's season appears […]

Jimmy Graham Brings In Two Receptions In Win

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham pulled in just two of his five targets for 17 yards during the Monday night win over the Lions. With Marquez Valdes-Scantling (leg) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, chest) both missing some time in this one, fantasy managers were hoping for an increase in production. That did not happen. […]

Geronimo Allison Exits In Week 6

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison (concussion, chest) hauled in three catches (seven targets) for 40 yards in the win over the Lions on Monday night. After leading the way in looks from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the 25-year-old would exit the game prematurely in the second half. He did not return. With Allison's status […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Finishes With Two Receptions

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling finished with two catches for 48 yards in the win over the Lions on Monday night. Valdes-Scantling would briefly exit this one after injuring his leg but would return to haul in a 46-yard catch to offset his lack of fantasy progress up to that point. With Davante […]

Jamaal Williams Rushes For 104 Yards

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams ran for 104 yards on 14 carries to go along with four catches in the win over the Lions. After Aaron Jones fumbled and dropped a wide-open pass from Aaron Rodgers that would have led to a score, Williams was inserted and made the most of it. Though […]

Aaron Jones Disappoints Against Lions

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 47 yards on 11 carries in addition to four receptions for 13 yards in the win over the Lions. It was a much different performance than the four-touchdown outing that Jones had against the Cowboys in Week 5, and while it wasn't a horrible performance, he […]

Aaron Rodgers Goes For Two Touchdowns

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 22-for-39 for 283 yards and a touchdown in the narrow win over the Lions on Monday night. Though he did throw an interception, it was an acceptable performance for the signal-caller who was without top receiver Davante Adams (toe), while also dealing with the in-game losses of Marquez […]
