Carlos Hyde, Josh Lambo Inactive Against Redskins

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde and kicker Josh Lambo (groin) are both inactive in Week 15 against the Redskins. With Hyde a healthy scratch, TJ Yeldon and rookie David Williams will serve as the backups to workhorse Leonard Fournette. It's clear that Hyde doesn't have much of a role in this offense with Fournette […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 15) - Targets and Avoids

Another Sunday for the dogs. Texans, Patriots, Broncos, Steelers, and Rams all lost outright. The Chiefs and Chargers both narrowly won, but failed to cover.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 15): NFL DFS Lineups

Two Saturday games on top of the usual prime time games has really left this slate a little devoid of options. However, more significantly is the loss of the Chiefs, Rams, Chargers and Saints to prime time slots on Thursday, Sunday and Monday. That has left us looking more for defenses to pick against this […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 15

We're in the home stretch of the NFL season. The fantasy football playoffs are upon us, and injuries continue to rack up.

Fortunately, we have plenty of data to break down those matchups […]

Updated Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Take the Over - Week 15 Games Which Could Surprise

At this stage of the season, we get a lot of really exciting matches with the potential to be high-scoring. This week's highlight figures to be on Thursday as the Los Angeles Chargers play the Kansas City Chiefs, while the New England Patriots travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. These games we know are […]

Crucial Pivots for Fantasy Football Week 15

Us fantasy folks have a mantra that gets repeated ad nauseam throughout the season. "Start your studs" is the standard cliché you hear when it comes to making obvious lineup decisions. No one should be starting the likes of Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers just because Carr has an easy matchup...or should they? That's what […]

Leonard Fournette Looks to Rebound in Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette matches up against the Washington Redskins in Week 15, a defense that has been struggling in recent weeks to contain the run. Fournette struggled in Week 14, as his team had to come from behind for most of the game, but the Jaguars will look to jump on a […]

Donte Moncrief Has Little Value Against Redskins

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief had an underwhelming performance in Week 14, especially considering the fact that he only hauled in 50 percent of the targets thrown his way. Moncrief lines up against a struggling Washington Redskins defense in Week 15, but the 25-year-old wide receiver has yet to give fantasy owners any reason […]

TJ Yeldon is a Tough Play in Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars running back TJ Yeldon was one of the few key receiving targets that struggled in Week 14 as the Jags looked to the passing attack to mount a comeback. This performance should make any owners that were relying on Yeldon worrisome, as he typically gets the bulk of his usage as a receiving […]

Cody Kessler Struggling to Settle Down in Jacksonville

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler has struggled to get settled in as a starter in Jacksonville but gets another shot against the lackluster defense of the Washington Redskins. Kessler has shown progression fantasy-wise, but his volume has been drastically different in each week that he has played. Regardless, his struggles in completion percentage and his […]

Dede Westbrook Trying to Find Consistency

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook had a high-production game in Week 14 as the Jaguars were playing catch-up with the Titans all night long. The Jaguars hope to be in a more competitive game in Week 15 against the Washington Redskins and in doing so should have less reliance on the passing game. This, […]

Josh Lambo Questionable For Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Redskins. Rookie wide receiver DJ Chark (quadriceps) has been ruled out. Lambo is expected to be able to play. He's had a good year while making 19 of his 21 field-goal attempts and 19 of his 20 extra points, but […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 15

Those fantasy owners who started Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, despite the tough matchup on paper, were heavily rewarded last Thursday.

Week 15 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It's the semi-finals in most fantasy leagues, so most owners should have their quarterback locked in permanently.

Aaron Rodgers @ Chicago, Matt Ryan vs. ARI, Matt […]

Tom Coughlin Could Take Over Head-Coaching Duties In 2019

There is growing belief that Jacksonville Jaguars president Tom Coughlin could wind up serving as the head coach in 2019. The team was embarrassed in a blowout loss to the Titans last Thursday after surprising with an AFC Championship appearance in 2017. The Jaguars have been marred by fights, suspensions and lack of discipline all […]

Jaguars Plan To Move On From Blake Bortles

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to move on from quarterback Blake Bortles in the offseason.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 14) - Targets and Avoids

Of course last week I write, "It has been one top-heavy year." In Week 13, most of the favorites got it handed to them.
