NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

The Patriots look unstoppable, the Steelers look like toast, and the Ravens look like they'll control the AFC North. I gave out the Pats and Ravens, got burned on Pitt, but wisely avoided the Panthers.  Like I wrote last week, don't overreact just yet. It's only two games. I understand it's already an eighth of […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]

Jimmy Graham Expected To Play

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin) "looked good" in practice on Friday, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Graham could be questionable on the final Week 3 injury report, but it sounds like he will be available in Week 3 against the Broncos. Even if Graham suits up, there's not a whole lot […]

Jimmy Graham Returns To Practice, Has Chance To Play

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin) returned to practice on Friday and has a chance to play in Week 3 against the Broncos after not practicing earlier this week. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Graham's injury isn't a long-term issue, but there was some concern over his status this week. Expect him […]

Mason Crosby A Starting Option Against Broncos

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby is an effective starting option this week against the Denver Broncos. Crosby has been accurate all season, and in familiar surroundings there is no reason why that would change. The Denver Broncos have allowed just over an average number of field-goal attempts, giving up four so far this season. […]

Packers Defense A Good Starting Option This Week

The Green Bay Packers Defense is a good option for fantasy owners this week. In previous seasons, the defense has struggled to have a consistent impact. However, after multiple additions in the offseason, the Packers have been an effective fantasy option this season. The've only allowed 19 points so far this season, as well as totaling […]

Geronimo Allison's Inconsistency Makes Him A Tough Start

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison has had a wildly inconsistent start to the season, making him a difficult player to trust in lineups this week. Allison wasn't given a single target in the Packers opening matchup and while he had four receptions last week, it was the touchdown that saved his fantasy value. […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Flex Option Against Broncos

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling should be considered as a flex option with upside this week. Valdes-Scantling had some boom plays in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears but struggled to make the same impact against the Minnesota Vikings last week. The Denver Broncos have only given up an average of 15.6 […]

Davante Adams Faces Tough Personal Matchup This Week

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams faces a tough personal matchup this week. Adams is likely to find himself matched up against one of the best cornerbacks in the league in Chris Harris Jr. Harris was effective last week in limiting the impact of Chicago Bears lead receiver Allen Robinson. However, Robinson isn't as […]

Jamaal Williams Should Be Benched This Week

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams should be benched by fantasy owners this week. The running back position has been dominated by Aaron Jones, even though Williams has been more involved in passing plays. However, the Packers are the home favorite, meaning that they are unlikely to be utilizing Williams' pass-catching ability. Fantasy owners […]

Aaron Jones A Must-Start Against Broncos

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is a must-start this week against the Denver Broncos. Jones was highly effective as a battering ram all game for the Packers in Week 2 and is likely to be used the same way for this matchup. Jones is clearly the lead back in the offense with over […]

Aaron Rodgers Continues Series Of Tough Matchups

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers continues his series of tough matchups this week against the Denver Broncos. Rodgers flashed at the start of last week's matchup but struggled as the game progressed, as well as appearing to suffer some type of arm injury in the game. The Broncos are one of the better units […]

Jimmy Graham Still Out Thursday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (groin) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Graham's status should not taken for granted, as he's definitely trending toward sitting out in Week 3 against the Broncos. If he does play, he'll be a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2. Marcedes Lewis would see more work […]

Is Lamar Jackson This Year's Pat Mahomes?

Through two games last season, Minnesota Vikings receivers Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen had combined for 42 catches, 404 yards, and four touchdowns. Through two games this season, they have just 11 catches, 204 yards, and two touchdowns. Quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't been doing them favors, and the argument could be made that he's killing […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that he wants to keep running back Aaron Jones fresh throughout the season and wants to "even up" touches between Jones and Jamaal Williams.
