Week 10 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
Not much time is left in the fantasy football season, so decisions are critical right now. With the waiver wire so thin, a week of injuries can leave you scrambling last minute. Stefon Diggs was a surprise scratch this week and if you didn’t work the waiver wire prior to his scratch, then you may […]
Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
As the season rolls on, the kicker position is always a tough one to gauge. There are so few players locked in as starters that you sometimes have to hope you get lucky. After producing double digits only three times all season, why would Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey put up 11 this week? That's […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round
Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here […]
The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 10)
This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]
Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This backfield may belong to Aaron Jones soon enough but Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams will be in the mix still. With Ty Montgomery gone, Williams is set to see more work on passing downs since the team prefers him for pass protection over Jones. […]
Geronimo Allison May Need Surgery
Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receiver Geronimo Allison (groin) saw a core specialist in Philadelphia and is dealing with a significant injury that could require surgery. Dr. William Meyer operated on defensive backs Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins in recent years. A procedure would likely keep Allison out for the […]
Bryan Bulaga Should Be Fine
Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee), who left the Monday night game early against the Patriots, is going to be fine, according to a source. Bulaga doesn't have structural damage in his knee and could even play in Week 10 against the Dolphins. That's good news for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team's […]
Randall Cobb Has Yet Another Poor Performance
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb had yet another unimpressive performance Sunday against the New England Patriots. Cobb caught five passes, but he only got 24 yards from them. Marquez Valdes-Scantling has played very well, and Davante Adams is still the main target for Aaron Rodgers. If Geronimo Allison is healthy moving forward it […]
Jimmy Graham Puts Together Solid Game
Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham finally had a good fantasy scoring game on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Graham caught four passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. It's only his second touchdown of the year, but it's a good sign that he was able to get something going this week. Graham […]
Davante Adams Finds End Zone Yet Again
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams has been one of the most consistent fantasy scorers lately. Adams snagged his seventh touchdown of the season Sunday. He had six receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown against the New England Patriots on Sunday. He wasn't able to break loose for a large chunk play which […]
Mason Crosby Gets Limited Opportunities In Packers' Loss
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby was perfect yet again in the loss to the New England Patriots. Crosby only got three chances to score on Sunday night as the Packers only put up 17 points. Crosby made two extra-point attempts and connected on a 27-yard field goal. He has been making the most of […]
Jamaal Williams Reliable And Unremarkable In Week 9
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams ran the ball seven times for 34 yards and had two receptions for 20 yards in a Week 9 game against the New England Patriots. The humble stat line was actually a marked improvement in his yards per carry. The best part of his day was simply not […]
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Leads Green Bay in Receiving
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling led all Packers in receiving yards with three catches for 101 yards in Week 9’s matchup against the New England Patriots. Valdes-Scantling only caught half of his targets but he made some monster plays when it mattered most, including an incredibly difficult contested grab that kept a […]
Equanimeous St. Brown Quiet Despite Big Workload
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown caught one pass on four targets for four yards in Green Bay’s Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots. This was despite seeing a very healthy number of snaps. This isn’t the first time that the rookie wide receiver saw few targets despite a good amount […]
Green Bay Defense Unable To Put Together Complete Game
The Green Bay Packers defense was largely able to hold New England’s offense in check for most of the game in Week 9. They did not force any turnovers and struggled with bringing pressure but their coverage was excellent. Minus an embarrassing sequence where they seemingly had no answer for New England Patriot Cordarelle Patterson […]
Aaron Jones Impressive Despite Costly Fumble
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 76 yards on 14 carries and added two receptions for 10 yards in Week 9’s matchup against the New England Patriots. While the stat line wasn’t dominant, it was positive to see Jones get a majority of the touches at running back. The offense as a […]
Aaron Rodgers Throws Two Touchdowns In Loss
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 259 yards on 24-for-43 passing with two touchdowns in a Week 9 Sunday night matchup against the New England Patriots. The stat line was not wholly disappointing, but clearly fell short of expectations for Rodgers as Green Bay’s offense struggled at moments during the game. Rodgers was […]
Blake Martinez Carted Off Sunday Night
Green Bay Packers linebacker Blake Martinez (ankle) was carted off in the third quarter on Sunday night against the Patriots after twisting his ankle. Martinez was blitzing and got to quarterback Tom Brady without resistance, but he accidentally stepped on Brady's foot and twisted his left ankle. Hopefully for Martinez and the Green Bay defense, […]
Randall Cobb Active Sunday Night
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) is active for Sunday night against the Patriots. With Geronimo Allison out, Cobb should have a bigger role, but he'll still likely be third on the receiver depth chart behind Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. In a good matchup in a likely shootout, consider Cobb an option […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Has An Opportunity In Week 9
With the news that Green Bay wide receiver Geronimo Allison (groin) has been ruled out for Week 9’s matchup against the New England Patriots, rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling should see significant action in the game. Valdes-Scantling filled in for an injured Allison earlier this year and performed well. Valdes-Scantling’s role in Green Bay’s offense […]

Quarterbacks to Own for the Playoff Stretch
Before the season started, I gave readers a list of quarterbacks who could be drafted based on their fantasy playoff matchups. These picks were obviously based on the stats of the defenses from 2017, as games had not yet been played. Now that the season is half over, I decided it was time to go […]
Randall Cobb Questionable To Face Patriots
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday but is questionable to play in Week 9 against the Patriots on Sunday night. Cobb should be able to play after practicing all week, but he's likely to only be used in three-receiver sets behind Davante Adams and rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling with […]
