Week 5 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week after week it seems we're getting huge quarterback performances out of nowhere. It was Ryan Fitzpatrick and Patrick Mahomes stealing the show through the first few weeks, but this week a few different unlikely quarterbacks stepped up to the plate. Tampa Bay and Chicago are on bye for Week 5. Neither team has a […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite his less than stellar reputation in the NFL, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has long been a solid fantasy football option with an ownership lower than it should be. He's shown himself to be capable of putting up top-tier fantasy numbers in […]

Jaguars Unsure When Leonard Fournette Will Return

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said he doesn't know how long running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss after aggravating his injury in Week 4. Fournette missed two games before, and he figures to miss at least that much this time around. Fournette is turning into an early-round bust so far for fantasy owners, […]

Leonard Fournette Ineffective Before Exiting

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette's return from a hamstring injury didn't end well for the second-year back, who exited the game after re-aggravating the injury. Fournette carried the ball 11 times for 30 yards while also adding a five yard reception during his time on the field. His status for Week 5 should be […]

Donte Moncrief Catches Touchdown Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief caught all five of his targets against the Jets on Sunday, finishing with 109 yards and a touchdown. Moncrief tied Keelan Cole for the most snaps by a Jaguars receiver and seems to have taken on a sizable enough load at this point to consider his increased usage a […]

Dede Westbrook Impressive Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook showed off the potential that made him a Heisman candidate in college on Sunday against the Jets, turning a team-high 13 targets into a nine-catch, 130-yard receiving day. He also added 11 yards on one carry. With the team's nominal number one receiver, Keelan Cole, only targeted three times, […]

T.J. Yeldon Scores Pair Of Touchdowns

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon once again found himself thrust into a key role when Leonard Fournette exited Sunday's meeting with the Jets with hamstring issues. Yeldon responded by finding the end zone twice, once on the ground and once through the air, finishing with 52 rushing yards on 18 carries and 48 receiving […]

Blake Bortles Strong In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 388 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception on 29-for-38 passing in Sunday's victory over the New York Jets. He added 28 rushing yards. Despite the matchup looking tough on paper for Jacksonville, Bortles was accurate against a Jets defense that had looked good through three weeks. Fantasy owners […]

T.J. Yeldon (RB, JAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This has been an extremely frustrating situation for Leonard Fournette owners, who have received a grand total of 71 scoreless rushing yards on 20 carries in exchange for their first-round investment during the draft process. The entire experience during Jacksonville’s first four games […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was considered one of the favorites to be the Jacksonville Jaguars WR1 this season, but he just hasn’t been as flashy as Keelan Cole. When you think about the Jaguars, you think defense and pound the ball with […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s been up-and-down for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles during the first four weeks of the season. He had 14.3 points in Week 1, 33.5 in Week 2, 8.9 in Week 3, and 25.3 in Week 4. It looks like Bortles can handle […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

We have officially passed the quarter pole of the 2018 season, and if you blinked then you missed it! Week 4 has seen the electric passing trend continue with quarterbacks shredding defenses at a never-before-seen rate, with pass-catching RBs and deeper WR plays seeing considerable action. In the interest of getting you the most timely […]

Leonard Fournette Leaves Game With Hamstring Issue

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is questionable to return to Jacksonville's Week 4 game against the Jets with hamstring tightness. Fournette's hamstring kept him out for Week 2 and Week 3 and he looked to be healthy entering this week, but the issues continue. This hamstring could be an issue often this season for […]

Leonard Fournette Expected to Play In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is expected to play in Week 4 against the New York Jets after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury. Fournette's workload for Sunday is unclear, but the Jets have been a decent team against the run this season, which makes starting Fournette a difficult decision to […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4): Targets and Avoids

There's always one week of the football season that's known as survivor doomsday and that was the case in Week 3. The Vikings, 16.5-point favorites, lost at home to the Bills knocking more than half of remaining survivor entries out in most pools. If you went contrarian and took the Jaguars as 10-point home favorites […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 4 Fantasy Football Picks

Sometimes all it takes is one. One player can turn things around for an entire team. We saw it with Baker Mayfield in the second half on Thursday night as he led them to their first win in forever. We've seen it with the loss of Khalil Mack in Oakland as they struggle to an […]

Week 4 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Well, last week's bust broke the trend of having a quarterback totally destroy my thinking, as Philip Rivers ended up being very good but not, like, astronomically so like when I predicted a Week 1 bust by Patrick Mahomes and a Week 2 bust by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Anyway, y'all -- it's already Week 4. For […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown: Week 4 Preview

We are about to have some big changes at running back heading into Week 4.

Week 4 Consistency Reports - All Positions

Three weeks may still seem too early to be assessing consistency but if you look at the tables below you can see that already the best fantasy options are beginning to rise to the top. We can already see just how inconsistent tight ends and to some extent running backs are compared to wide receivers […]

Week 4 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! After two mostly calm weeks to open the season, Week 3 brought plenty of upsets (hello Vikings) and some surprise fantasy performances (Calvin Ridley with the touchdown hat trick).

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Remains Risky Play In Week 4

For the third consecutive game, Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins finished Week 3 with five targets and three receptions. After finishing with a season-low 18 yards, things look just as grim heading into Week 4's meeting with the New York Jets, who've allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to the tight end position this season. […]

Dede Westbrook Not A Good Option In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has seen less targets each week and has fallen behind wide receiver Donte Moncrief in the team's rotation, with Moncrief out-snapping Westbrook 53 to 39 in Week 3. This, plus a meeting with a New York Jets defense that's played well in 2018, spells trouble for anyone who has […]

Keelan Cole Has Flex Potential Against Jets

After a difficult Week 3 against the Titans where the Jacksonville Jaguars didn't find the end zone, there's reason to be hesitant with wide receiver Keelan Cole this week in fantasy lineups. His five-catch, 40-yard performance last week featured hauling in a season-low 55.6 percent of his targets and finishing with his worst yards per […]

Leonard Fournette Is Full Participant In Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. Fournette is still listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Jets, but he's trending in the right direction. It'll be worth monitoring to see if the team says anything about Fournette being on a […]
