Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

With eight weeks gone, that means over 60% of the regular fantasy season is over. Are you still with us? 8-0 teams are looking ahead to playoff matchups while 2-6 teams are looking for the 7-6 Wild Card spot. The upcoming bye week means no Bengals, Falcons, Rams or Saints -- so many of you […]

Marqise Lee's Season Ends

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, which will end his season. Lee didn't receive a lot of attention, but his departure could open up more for Keelan Cole, who has just four catches for 33 yards this season. However, he has scored touchdowns in consecutive weeks. Cole […]

D.J. Chark Finds End Zone In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark led the Jaguars in targets and receptions in Sunday's win over the New York Jets, catching six of his 12 targets for 79 yards and a score. It was Chark's first touchdown since Week 5 and his second double-digit target game of the year. If Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is […]

Chris Conley Has Big Day Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley caught four passes for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the New York Jets, taking advantage of Dede Westbrook (shoulder) leaving the game early. Conley as Jacksonville's number-two receiver is an intriguing fantasy option in Week 9 against the Texans, though if Westbrook returns, Conley will […]

Leonard Fournette Quiet Aside From 66-Yard Carry

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had a 66-yard run in the first quarter of Jacksonville's Week 8 win over the New York Jets, but Fournette ended up finishing with just 76 rushing yards on 19 carries, which means his other 18 carries went for a total of just 10 yards. Fournette did add seven […]

Gardner Minshew Throws For Three Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew didn't have a great matchup against the Jets in Week 8, but the rookie shook off his recent struggles in Jacksonville's 29-15 win. Minshew was 22-for-34 passing the ball, finishing with 279 yards and three touchdowns. He also added 28 rushing yards on eight carries. Minshew had gone two games […]

Dede Westbrook Won't Return In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of the Week 8 game against the Jets after aggravating his injury in the first half. Westbrook played through a shoulder injury last week and was effective, but his multiple injuries became too much this Sunday. He'll go down as […]

Dede Westbrook Playing Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) is active in Week 8 against the Jets. Westbrook was also questionable last week before suiting up and going over 100 yards against a weak Bengals secondary. The Jets secondary is similarly generous, making Westbrook a solid WR3 play this week with WR2 upside if Gang Green […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 8

In Week 7, a good number of the wide receivers that registered top-12 production were not the usual cast of characters. The No.1 wide receiver on the week was Marvin Jones who turned four of his 10 catches into touchdowns. Zach Pascal scored two touchdowns finishing as the No. 2 receiver on the week, while […]

Dede Westbrook Expected To Play Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder/neck) is expected to play Sunday against the New York Jets. While the Jets have been near the middle of the league against the pass this year, Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew has failed to complete 50 percent of his passes for two consecutive games. The Jaguars passing attack isn't […]

When playing props, the most fun tends to come with taking the overs and cheering on production.

Chris Conley Isn't Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley was targeted eight times in Week 7, catching three passes for 83 yards. But between Week 3 and Week 6, Conley had a combined four receptions for 73 yards, and one strong week doesn't change the fact that Conley is the fourth option on a team that doesn't pass […]

D.J. Chark Has Risk In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark finished third on the team in targets in Week 7, a potential sign that his role as the team's top receiver is being threatened by Dede Westbrook. Chark's been a solid fantasy option this year because he's scored five touchdowns, but he's also finished with under 50 receiving yards […]

Dede Westbrook Is Back To Being Solid Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook got off to a slow start this year, but he's been targeted at least eight times in three straight games and is coming off his first 100-yard outing of the season. While the Jets are better against the pass than against the run, Westbrook's volume makes him a fine […]

Leonard Fournette Primed For Big Game

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is set to have a strong game on Sunday when the Jaguars host the New York Jets. The Jets allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs but have done a pretty good job against passing games, which sets Fournette up for a heavy workload. The […]

Gardner Minshew Doesn't Have Great Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew isn't a great option in single-quarterback leagues in Week 8 when the Jaguars face the New York Jets. New York allows the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and held Tom Brady to just one touchdown pass in Week 7. Minshew has just one passing touchdown over the past two […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets and Avoids

Disaster averted. The Bills found themselves trailing against the lowly Dolphins but pulled it out late. Had Buffalo lost, more than 50 percent of remaining entrants in survivor pools would have been knocked out. The 49ers did their part in the monsoon in D.C while the Patriots cruised against the Jets. All my picks to […]

Dede Westbrook Questionable Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Jets. Westbrook was questionable last week also, but he suited up and went for over 100 yards receiving against the winless Bengals. We expect Westbrook to play again this Sunday, but make sure to check Sunday morning's inactives. If […]

Marcell Dareus Placed On Injured Reserve

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (abdomen) on the Injured Reserve on Friday and signed free-agent defensive tackle Akeem Spence to the active roster in a corresponding move. Dareus could be designated to return later this season, but the Jaguars will basically be without him for the rest of the regular season. It's […]

Mid-Season Awards: MVP's and LVP's

When it comes to awards, everything is subjective. Some people just go with the best player at each position. That is fine in real football but not in fantasy football. Christian McCaffrey has had the best season as a running back, but as the first or second pick in drafts, he needed to do so […]

Re-Evaluating Strength of Schedule for the Playoffs

We're just days away from crossing the halfway mark of the season. It sucks, I know, but we fantasy owners can't lose time crying and lamenting about what we can't fix. We have to look forward and always be one step ahead of our competition. And that, my friends, means we need to start thinking […]
