Packers Rookie Wideouts Not Expected To Have Roles
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receivers J'mon Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown aren't expected to have roles in Week 1 against the Bears on Sunday night, let alone even be active for the game.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jameis Winston suspended, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has stumbled his way into a starting quarterback gig once again, if only temporarily. No one would ever mistake Fitzpatrick for Aaron Rodgers, but from a fantasy perspective, he is in a good […]
Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is not to be used this week, as he is not even starting for the Ravens. He is someone that should be stashed in two-quarterback leagues or deeper leagues where most or all starting quarterbacks are rostered. Out […]
Week 1 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
After months of painstaking preparations toward determining how to draft your collection of running backs, you may have initially believed that you had successfully navigated the unpredictable flow of the live draft process.

Week 1 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Get Off My Lawn - Choosing Veteran RBs Over Rookies
After an unprecedented year for rookie running backs, lightning will not strike twice. The rooks will have a big regression and veterans will retain their position at the top of the heap in fantasy football. Typically, when one analyzes the fantasy football field, rookies are viewed like the shrimp at an all you can eat […]
Mason Crosby Looking For Bounce-Back Season
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had his worst season of his 11-year career last year. Crosby only attempted 19 field goals and 35 extra points last season. The main reason for his poor season was due to the injury of Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers is back healthy this year, so you can expect Crosby to […]
Geronimo Allison Could Break Out As Sneaky Fantasy Candidate
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison has been trying to prove his worth the last two seasons, but he hasn't had much opportunity. This year, Allison has a clear path to targets with Jordy Nelson gone to the Oakland Raiders. Allison has averaged 13 yards per catch in his first two seasons, and he […]
Packers Defense Looking To Prove Themselves
The Green Bay Packers defense is revamped and looking to prove themselves this year. The Packers added Muhammad Wilkerson to the line that already has Mike Daniels. They also added Jaire Alexander to secondary. Tramon Williams and Josh Jackson were also added to the secondary. The group still has a play-maker in Clay Matthews, and […]
Ty Montgomery Has Surprising Upside Despite Being Second Back
Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery figures to be the second running back at least until Aaron Jones returns from suspension. Montgomery is a great receiving back, and will see a lot of third down looks. However, he has done well against the Chicago Bears in the past while running the ball as well. […]
Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison is blessed to play with the best quarterback in the league. Remember when James Jones scored 14 touchdowns as the Packers No. 3 receiver a few seasons ago? Well, that’s the kind of role that Allison […]
Randall Cobb Looks To Start The Season On A Good Note
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb has seen his production decrease the last few years with the emergence of Davante Adams. Cobb has a better path to targets this year with Jordy Nelson going to the Oakland Raiders, but the Packers added another target in tight end Jimmy Graham. The Packers will be going […]
Ty Montgomery (RB, GB) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery is one of the most criminally underowned players. Either this means 70% of you play in standard leagues with no PPR aspect at all, or you are just intentionally overlooking what could be a premier piece […]
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Not Expected To See Much Action
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling does not figure to play heavily into Green Bay’s game plan against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The rookie wide receiver has looked capable at times during the preseason, but is currently buried on the depth chart. We will learn a bit about where he stands during the […]
Equanimeous St. Brown Is Not Going To Be A Factor in Week 1
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown does not figure to have much of a role in the offense as Green Bay starts the season against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. St. Brown was close to being cut as training camp ended and is currently very low on the depth chart. St. Brown […]
Lance Kendricks Unlikely To See Many Snaps In Week 1
Green Bay tight end Lance Kendricks is unlikely to see much action on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears. Kendricks, who arrived in Green Bay last year, is currently the longest tenured tight end on the roster. After a disappointing 2017 he currently finds himself third on the depth chart behind Jimmy Graham and blocking […]
Marcedes Lewis To Have Limited Role In Week 1
Green Bay tight end Marcedes Lewis is unlikely to see many, if any, targets on Sunday night when the Chicago Bears come to Green Bay. Lewis is second on the depth chart at tight end behind Jimmy Graham. Lewis was signed primarily for his ability as a blocker. While he is a capable, although underwhelming, […]
Jimmy Graham Has High Upside, High Risk in Week 1
Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham will see his first extended playing time with Aaron Rodgers during a Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. There are a lot of uncertainties heading into this game surrounding Graham. Green Bay has never relied heavily on tight ends in their offense. However, Green Bay also has […]
J’Mon Moore Won't Be A Factor In Week 1
Green Bay Packers wide receiver J'mon Moore does not figure to factor heavily into Green Bay’s game plan for a Week 1 matchup against Chicago. The receiver is in a competition for fourth on the depth chart with fellow rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown. All three are clearly behind wide receiver Geronimo Allison […]
Davante Adams to be Focal Point in Week 1
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will be a key focal point for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay’s offense when they take on Chicago on Sunday night. Adams is the only receiver on the team that can consistently be relied upon and is likely to get a lot of targets in Week 1. […]
