Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

After months of drafting and reshaping rosters, the long-awaited return of NFL matchups has finally occurred. This was the first opportunity to witness game action in any form, due to the absence of preseason contests. It was also the initial chance to evaluate your running backs as they performed during their opening day matchups. Some of […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Well, we're (mostly, there are two Monday night games) done with the first week of the NFL season and the Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Football Team have both endangered their chase for the first overall pick and Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. In terms of wide receivers, we saw a lot of the expected names -- […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It was satisfying enough to see a full slate of regular-season NFL games being played on Sunday. Then, the level of play exceeded expectations, as we weren't subjected to sloppy play and didn't see a slew of injuries. For fantasy purposes, it was great to see a lot of high-scoring games. The stars did their […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

We finally got a Sunday of glorious NFL football and now comes the fun of tinkering with rosters to try and build a league winning team. After one week, it is a good time to look at your roster and start shoring up areas of potential weakness for the long haul. Thankfully, there were no […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR, JAX) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. proved to be one of the top pass-catching options for quarterback Gardner Minshew II in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. Shenault was targeted four times in the game and caught three passes for […]

Gardner Minshew II (QB, JAX) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: All hail the 'stache! Garden Minshew II took the game just where he left him last season, put on the superhero suit again, and completed a masterpiece to the tune of completing 19 of 20 attempts for 173 yards, 3 TDs, and no […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

After two weeks of the regular season, some of the running backs that were drafted in the early and middle rounds have performed effectively for anyone who selected them. Hopefully, you are among the fantasy GMs that have received favorable results from your backs. Unfortunately, other runners have not delivered the results that were expected. That applies […]

Chris Thompson Quiet In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson had just two touches in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He didn't receive a single carry but caught both of his targets for six yards. Thompson played 12 snaps. Not a great showing for those who thought Thompson in a Jay Gruden offense would look like […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Scores Touchdown To Open 2020

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark caught three passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Chark's touchdown salvaged an otherwise disappointing game for the third-year player who was being considered a solid fantasy WR2 this season. It's too early to panic over his workload, but finishing […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Catches Touchdown In NFL Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut, a Week 1 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Shenault also received two carries, finishing with 10 rushing yards. Shenault's going to get a lot of chances to move around the formation for Jacksonville this year […]

Keelan Cole Leads Jaguars In Week 1 Targets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole was the team's target leader in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He brought in all five of those targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. Cole was basically out of the picture in 2019, but it looks like a strong camp has allowed him to re-enter […]

James Robinson Is Solid In NFL Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars undrafted free agent running back James Robinson came out of nowhere to become the starting running back for the Jags in Week 1. He responded with a solid game, carrying the ball 16 times of 62 yards and catching his only target for 28 yards. Robinson should have already been added in most […]

Gardner Minshew II Only Throws One Incompletion

If the Jacksonville Jaguars were tanking for Trevor Lawrence this year, they got off to a bad start at doing it in Week 1, as they defeated the Colts 27-20. Quarterback Gardner Minshew had a stellar game, going 19-for-20 for 173 yards and three touchdowns. While he didn't pile up yards, he made smart plays […]

Dede Westbrook Is Inactive In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. That's...not good news for fantasy managers who have Westbrook rostered, as it means that rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. and veteran Keelan Cole have both moved ahead of him on the team's depth chart. If you have time this […]

After the Draft: Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Fantasy football draft season is nearly over, as most teams have been formed in the days prior to opening kickoff. All those draft picks looked great at the time, but sometimes adjustments need to be made earlier than expected. Injuries, surprising roster cuts, depth chart shifts, and bad matchups can conspire to make players expendable […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 1

Week 1 of the NFL season is upon us and considering the fact that we didn't have a preseason, we have less information than ever to project how new players and coaches will impact teams on both sides of the ball.  Early on in the season, we will need to use 2019 data to project […]

Deep Dynasty Sleepers to Add Before It's Too Late

All the top rookies have found a home on dynasty rosters long ago and the unexpected training camp risers like James Robinson have been snatched up from waivers ahead of Week 1. A quick look at the waiver wire in leagues with deep rosters is pretty bare. For example, a recent search for the best […]

NFL DFS Value Plays for Week 1 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The great thing about a lack of preseason games is that there has been a lack of preseason injuries to our daily fantasy superstars.
