Howdy, y'all, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings under the microscope and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). My hope is to help you understand why I’m significantly higher or lower on players than the expert crowd. Do note that the ECR is likely to shift a bit! Who […]

Week 6 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

It's Week 6 in the NFL and the Cleveland Browns have now won two games! Everything we once knew has been radically changed...except that the Browns won partially because Joe Flacco couldn't beat them, and Joe Flacco failing to beat a team isn't a new development. The more things change, the more nothing changes! Anyway, […]

Week 6 Consistency Reports - All Positions

We now have over a quarter of a seasons worth of data at our fingertips and the cream has well and truly risen to the top. There are still some interesting names high in the rankings at quarterback and tight end. However, these are generally more variable positions. That is why both positions are often […]

Inside the Tent - Week 6 NFL Injury Insight

Seemingly, everyone in the NFL is dealing with a hamstring strain or a sprained MCL. Leonard Fournette has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue for weeks as well as Dalvin Cook. For the wide receivers, T.Y. Hilton and Geronimo Allison are dealing with hamstring strains as well. Sprained MCLs are also all the rage […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview

It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coach’s room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison To Be Game-Time Decisions

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is saying that wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) will both be game-time decisions against the 49ers on Monday night. It's not a certainty that either receiver will be able to play, though. With the game being on Monday night, it's much too risky to […]

Week 6 Red Zone Risers - Players With Scoring Potential

We're starting to get a sense of which players are integral parts of their team's offense, especially in the red zone. And we all know as fantasy players that touches in this area more often than not lead to players scoring the thing that will send your team into victory each week- touchdowns. Still, injuries […]

Pass Rush vs. QB Matchups to Target/Avoid (Week 6)

In a unprecedented season of historic offensive production, identifying defensive units that apply a consistent pass rush is paramount. Passing has gone bananas. NFL completions (2,999), completion percentage (65.4), passing yards (32,215), passing touchdowns (228), points scored (3,030) and touchdowns (344) are the highest numbers in NFL history at this point in a season. There […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 6): NFL DFS Lineups

Week 5 did not really offer many surprises in terms of the overall picture of teams. We learned a few little lessons, such as the Atlanta Falcons offense is just flat-out bad on the road and we never know which Buffalo Bills team is going to show up. Entering Week 6, we, unfortunately, lose two […]

Week 6 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

The Chiefs' elite offense was able to trump the Jaguars' elite defense in a dominating 30-14 win. The Steelers held up their end of the bargain in a 41-17 […]

Jimmy Graham Back To Full Practice Friday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) was back to a full practice on Friday after being held out on Thursday. Graham will suit up on Monday night against the 49ers in a good matchup. Green Bay could once again be without receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring), so that would […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Setback With Knee

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) told reporters that he had a "setback" with his knee rehab that might force him to wear a larger brace on Monday night against the 49ers. It's notable, but if it doesn't keep him from playing, fantasy owners shouldn't be too concerned. Rodgers remains a high-end QB1 on […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison To Work With Rehab Group

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion, hamstring) will both work in the rehab group again on Friday. Both players were listed as limited on Thursday, so that should be the same again Friday. It's good news that they are getting work in, but their statuses for Monday night against […]

Aaron Rodgers To Practice Friday

The plan is for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) to practice on Friday. The Packers continue to hold Rodgers out of practice early in the week, but he is getting his work in later in the week and continues to play through his knee injury on game days. He should be fine for […]

Sophomore Slumps: Should You Buy Low On Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette?

Please oh please can someone go revive Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette? Fortunately it appears as if the former will be available as early as this Sunday, but we are running out of time before these guys have sufficiently ruined fantasy teams. These two sophomore running backs were drafted as early as the back end […]

Wide Receiver Depth Chart Analysis - Week 6

The wide receiver landscape continues to change, with the biggest breakout belonging to Keke Coutee, who appears to have to established a role for himself in Houston regardless of Will Fuller's health. Several of the situations discussed in Week 5's article also played themselves out. Some hit -- see David Moore -- while others fell […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Could Be Given Opportunity Again

Green Bay rookie wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has clearly earned more trust from quarterback Aaron Rodgers than his fellow rookie wide receivers have. He has established himself as fourth on the depth chart and garnered 10 targets last week against Detroit. Those targets largely came as the result of injuries that kept Randall Cobb (hamstring) […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Promising But Unlikely To Produce

Green Bay rookie wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown saw the first offensive snaps of his career last Sunday and had a solid showing with three catches for 89 yards. However he is unlikely to repeat that production in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. St. Brown largely saw snaps on account of the absence […]

Ty Montgomery Unlikely To Produce in Week 6

Green Bay running back Ty Montgomery will be facing the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. The 49ers have a vulnerable run defense but it is unlikely that Montgomery will see enough volume to have significant production. Montgomery currently sits behind both Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones on the depth chart and sees most of […]

Green Bay Defense An Interesting Streaming Option

Green Bay’s defense is currently one of the highest scoring defenses in fantasy, but that is largely the result of a big Week 4 against a struggling Buffalo defense led by rookie quarterback Josh Allen. The pattern with Green Bay’s defense the past few years is that they dominate young and inexperienced quarterbacks but struggle […]

This Could Be The Week Aaron Jones Breaks Out

Green Bay running back Aaron Jones has shown in a small sample size that he is the most talented rusher in Green Bay. Pressure is growing on Green Bay’s coaching staff to use him more extensively and we could see that in Week 6 when they take on the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. […]

Diminished Role Leaves Jamaal Williams A Risky Choice For Week 6

Green Bay running back Jamaal Williams has seen his role slashed from the start of the year when he was touted by the organization as a bell-cow back. Heading into a Week 6 game against the vulnerable run defense of the San Francisco 49ers, it seems doubtful that he will see enough volume to have […]

Despite Distractions, Aaron Rodgers a Strong Start in Week 6

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) has had a turbulent week leading up to a Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers. Coach Mike McCarthy has faced criticism for his offensive scheme. Much of this criticism has stemmed from apparent frustration coming from Rodgers himself. Additionally, Rodgers is still dealing with a knee injury […]

Packers Need Jimmy Graham To Improve

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) missed practice on Thursday with his knee injury. Fantasy owners shouldn't worry because the Packers don't play until Monday night, and they've been being very cautious with Graham's health early on this year. Expect him to play plenty of snaps this week before the Packers have a […]
