Aaron Rodgers To Sit Out Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will sit out of practice on Wednesday to rest his left knee. After spraining his knee in the season opener, Rodgers has only practiced the day before games on Saturday. This could become a regular occurrence throughout the season for the star quarterback. As long as he's on […]

Tape Don't Lie - Breaking Down Jordy Nelson's Week 3 Performance

For this week's "Tape Don't Lie," choosing a player to analyze was pretty difficult. There was a rookie wide receiver who caught three touchdowns, but there was also a veteran wide receiver who hauled in six catches for 173 yards and a touchdown, which seemed to come out of thin air after two sub-par games […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 4

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. […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 4 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

As an addendum to our famous Waiver Wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

Packers Sign Bashaud Breeland

The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland on Tuesday. Breeland will replace Davon House (shoulder), who is going on Injured Reserve. The former fourth-round pick of the Redskins will bring a veteran presence to a young secondary. He had 37 tackles and an interception returned for a touchdown in 15 games with Washington […]

Davon House Expected To Have Surgery

Green Bay Packers cornerback Davon House (shoulder) is expected to have shoulder surgery and appears likely to be placed on Injured Reserve, according to a source. With Richard King also missing Week 3 with an injury, this puts Green Bay's secondary depth in question moving forward.

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We know nothing. When I say "we," I am referring collectively to all of us who follow the NFL and play fantasy football on a regular basis of course. We were certain the Vikings-Bills game would be a blowout... but not in Buffalo's favor. The Patriots weren't going to let former assistant coach Matt Patricia […]

Week 4 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 3 was rookie QB week in the NFL. Josh Allen joined the ranks of starter, while Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen were unexpectedly thrust into action. There are a lot of quarterback situations either in flux or changes be made around the league as well as the first week of byes, meaning quarterbacks could […]

Week 4 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 3 is over, and it was full of upsets. With those upsets, came several surprising kicker performances. Players like Ryan Succop and Stephen Hauschka were among the week's top scorers. Fantasy football is unpredictable, and that is ever true for the ranks of kickers. Week 4 has some matchups that aren't so fantasy friendly […]

Early Season Roster Savvy

Whether you have a winning or losing record, it is imperative that you follow a roster strategy rather than simply winging it on the wire over every highly-touted player. In-season roster management is paramount to winning titles. That’s right, it is even more important than the draft. So, check out the following tactics to stay […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 4)

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 […]

Muhammad Wilkerson Likely Done For The Year

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) underwent surgery on Sunday and will likely miss the rest of the season. McCarthy said it was a "significant" injury. Wilkerson had only two tackles on the season, but nevertheless it's a blow to Green Bay's pass rush moving forward.

Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Be concerned about Aaron Rodgers' health and the state of the Packers in general, but not about wide receiver Geronimo Allison and his role in the offense. He was targeted just four times against Washington, marking a second straight week where his looks dropped by […]

C.J. Beathard (QB, SF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, no one is mistaking San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard for Aaron Rodgers or anything, but there are leagues where literally every starting quarterback is rostered. If that’s the type of league you play in, then it’s worth considering Beathard. He did have a couple […]

Jimmy Graham Has Five Catches On Sunday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham caught fives passes for 45 yards in the loss to the Washington Redskins. Despite being one of the most heavily targeted receivers by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Graham has been relatively quiet this season, racking up only 148 yards off of 13 receptions. With so many offensive weapons on […]

Jamaal Williams Statistically Absent

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams was a non-factor during Sunday's loss to the Washington Redskins. Williams rushed the ball only five times, accumulating a subpar 29 yards on the day. Though he also had two receptions for 16 yards, it wasn't enough to supplement what was a disappointing fantasy performance overall. The five […]

Aaron Jones Unproductive In Return

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (suspension) made his return on Sunday after missing the first two weeks. However, Jones wasn't able to get anything going, finishing for only 42 rushing yards off of six carries in the loss to the Redskins. He will likely have some productive outings moving forward, but he can't […]

Randall Cobb Quiet In Week 3

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb was irrelevant from a fantasy perspective during the Week 3 loss to the Washington Redskins, finishing the day with only four catches for 23 yards. After pulling in nine passes for 142 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Bears, Cobb has cooled off over the […]

Ty Montgomery Productive Against 'Skins

Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery played relatively well in the Week 3 loss to the Washington Redkins. In typical fashion, Montgomery showcased his diverse playmaking abilities, finishing the day with six receptions for 48 yards in addition to rushing four times for 16 yards. The quasi-receiver has had sporadic production throughout the first […]

Davante Adams Plays Well Against Washington

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams pulled in seven receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Though his value was somewhat hindered by the lack of accumulated receiving yards in standard fantasy formats, Adams gained PPR appeal by leading his team in receptions on the […]

Geronimo Allison Scores Against Redskins

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison was relatively efficient in the loss to the Redskins in Week 3. Despite being targeted only four times, Allison pulled in two receptions on the day, good for 76 yards and a touchdown. He has emerged as a favorite target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, hauling in 13 receptions […]

Aaron Rodgers Throws Two Touchdowns

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) was able to suit up and play efficiently despite his team falling to the Washington Redskins. A gimpy Rodgers completed 27 of his 44 passing attempts and threw two touchdowns despite being sacked four times on the day. Rodgers will likely practice in a limited capacity, if at […]

Aaron Rodgers Will Play Against Redskins

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is active in Week 3 against the Redskins. Rodgers hasn't practiced much the last two weeks, but he will once again play against Washington and is a must-start for fantasy owners anytime he's on the field. Hopefully Rodgers won't do any more damage to his left knee by […]

Week 3 Lineup Questions - Fantasy Football Pop Quiz

Last year about this time, I challenged myself to ask the question about fantasy players: do I believe something, or can I prove it? The idea remains pretty simple, that its nearly impossible to really prove something about a guy only two weeks in, and that if you can somehow prove it now, it's imperative to act on it.
