Week 15 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

How did your first week of playoff action go? Did you lose in multiple leagues because Adam Thielen piled up some garbage time yardage? Or was that just me? Let's talk about some guys you should avoid this week. As I did last week, each section will feature two or three players per position and […]

Greetings to those of you still in the playoff hunt and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings up on a projector and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). I’m currently sixth in FantasyPros accuracy competition, fighting with the industry sharks, after finishing ninth (out of 130) in 2017. I hope this […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll keep it short and sweet here - you need to win and I want you to win. That's where the ol' gut comes in. See, there are many reasons to think Cousins won't throw the ball very often this week, Edwards will see a reduced workload, McKenzie has too low a ceiling to start […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 15): NFL DFS Lineups

Two Saturday games on top of the usual prime time games has really left this slate a little devoid of options. However, more significantly is the loss of the Chiefs, Rams, Chargers and Saints to prime time slots on Thursday, Sunday and Monday. That has left us looking more for defenses to pick against this […]

DraftKings Power Pivots: NFL DFS Week 15

Hello RotoBallers! Welcome back to Power Pivots, where we are always in search of players that will offer us leverage in DraftKings GPPs. Those of you that read last week's column hopefully had a solid day. Our strategy of fading the cheap chalk RBs in favor of Christian McCaffery and Ezekiel Elliott worked well, while […]

Updated Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Crucial Pivots for Fantasy Football Week 15

Us fantasy folks have a mantra that gets repeated ad nauseam throughout the season. "Start your studs" is the standard cliché you hear when it comes to making obvious lineup decisions. No one should be starting the likes of Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers just because Carr has an easy matchup...or should they? That's what […]

Aaron Jones Faces Uncertainty And Difficult Matchup

The only thing that has been able to slow down Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones this year has been his own coaching staff. He has averaged 5.6 yards per carry but has struggled to see many looks this year. Just when it seemed that Jones had fully taken over the starting role, new […]

Green Bay Defense Too Injured To Warrant Consideration

The Green Bay Packers defense/special teams unit currently has five starters and three rotational players on IR. This is in addition to the starting safety they traded away. They have an additional two starters who are listed on the injury report for a Week 15 matchup against a Chicago Bears offense that has been favorable […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Will Not Break Out In Week 15

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown has flashed his athleticism, speed, and giant catch radius at points this season. However, he has struggled with route running and has been on a different page than quarterback Aaron Rodgers on seemingly every play. This has resulted in the talented receiver accumulating only 193 yards receiving […]

Jamaal Williams Has Unclear Role In Week 15

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams started last week against the Atlanta Falcons. Despite the start, he only saw four carries on the day. Most of the work was handled by running back Aaron Jones. Jones likely saw more carries because he has proven to be a much superior option at running back. However, […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Not Worth The Risk In Week 15

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has hit a bit of a rough patch after a handful of impressive games in the middle of the season. He only has 49 receiving yards combined over the last four weeks. He has struggled to create separation in one-on-one coverage as defenses put more resources towards […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Unattractive Matchup In Week 15

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be going up against the top pass defense according to DVOA in Week 15 when he takes on the Chicago Bears. Rodgers has struggled through parts of this season due to injury, poor coaching, and a lack of talent around him but managed to put in a solid […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers From Week 14

Congratulations to those of you whose diligence through the draft process and the regular season has been rewarded with an opportunity to participate in the fantasy playoffs. Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. Since you have now advanced even further toward achieving your objective, it […]

Navigating the Patriots Backfield During Fantasy Playoffs

For as long as I can remember there has always been a saying that Bill Belichick hates your fantasy team. Constantly changing the running back that is used means that some fantasy owners have tried to avoid it altogether, while some owners just put roll with the back du jour and hoped for the bets. […]

Mason Crosby Has Potential In Week 15

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby has potential for a big game in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. He could benefit from the Packers offense looking rejuvenated, but he also has to play against a more stingy defense this week. Crosby had three field goals and an extra-point in Week 1 against the Chicago […]

Randall Cobb Has Good Value Again This Week

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb had a good week in Week 14. Cobb plays the Chicago Bears who he torched in Week 1 for 142 yards. Aaron Rodgers will be under a lot of pressure, so look for the Packers to use Cobb to get the ball out early. Cobb will primarily be […]

Jimmy Graham Should Be Avoided In Week 15

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham should be avoided in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. In Week 1 Graham had just two receptions for eight yards. Look for Graham to be heavily involved in blocking more than receiving this week. Graham is too reliant on touchdowns to be a safe play this week. […]

Davante Adams Is A Must Start In Week 15

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is a must start again in Week 15. Adams had five receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. The Packers play the Bears again this week, and Adams should be a hot target. Adams has a touchdown in each of his […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

If at least one of your fantasy teams is still in contention for a championship, congratulations.

[…]

Week 15 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

So, if your fantasy season is […]

Kickers become all the more important during the playoffs, as the weather is getting colder, and the best players are even more difficult to predict. Week 15 is here, […]

Week 15 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It's the semi-finals in most fantasy leagues, so most owners should have their quarterback locked in permanently. If that's not the case don't fear, there are still good streaming options available in plenty of leagues. There are a few tough matchups for highly-owned quarterbacks this week. Aaron Rodgers @ Chicago, Matt Ryan vs. ARI, Matt […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Miracle overshadowed everything else that happened in the stunning victory over the Patriots in Week 14. Before that last-second upset, quarterback Ryan Tannehill had himself a fine day, throwing for 265 yards and three TD. That ranks him better than Aaron Rodgers or Jameis Winston for […]

Mason Crosby Has A Big Game

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a big game against the Atlanta Falcons this week. Crosby connected on both of his field goals, one of which was from 50 yards. He also added four extra-points. Crosby will benefit if the offense can be as productive as it was on Sunday. Keep Crosby as a […]
