Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Up is down, black is white, cats and dogs are living together. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best QB in football (OK, behind Pat Mahomes) and Blake Bortles doubled Aaron Rodgers in fantasy points this week. Also, Joe Mixon, Devonta Freeman, and Leonard Fournette are sidelined by injuries while Le'Veon Bell continues to sideline himself. Also, […]

Week 3 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

After two weeks of game action, anyone who drafted Leonard Fournette, Devonta Freeman, or Joe Mixon has already been confronted with having their early-round pick sidelined due to injury. That has automatically launched the unwanted process of monitoring a situation that is fraught with uncertainty for those of you who own Fournette and Freeman, while […]

Week 3 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

It’s time to start prepping for Week 3 waiver wire additions and I have you covered for wide receivers. As I was looking up players to add for this article, I was shocked to see some of the names that are still not at least 50% owned in fantasy leagues. A couple of them will […]

Week 3 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We had another wild and woolly week of action in the NFL, and some big quarterback performances from unlikely sources once again in Week 2. Many owners prefer to set and forget at quarterback, but for those of us that like to play the streaming game we've got to be on top of matchups every […]

Week 3 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Two weeks down, and 15 weeks to go for fantasy football owners to find their starting tight end. The Greg Olsen and Delanie Walker owners who were unable to fill their tight end voids last week have another opportunity to this week. If you are in the market for a new tight end for your […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]

Deeper Sleepers Heading Into Week 3

Ryan Fitzpatrick is the leading MVP candidate. There have been two ties in two weeks. Josh Gordon is a Patriot. James Conner has more fantasy points than both Odell Beckham and Aaron Rodgers. And, although not really fantasy related, the Bills are so bad that Vontae Davis retired from football at halftime. No, this isn't […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Of course, the WR4 on Jacksonville is a fantasy stud! Dede Westbrook entered the year low on the depth chart but a season-ending injury to Marqise Lee has cleared things up a bit. Although Keelan Cole led the way this time around, Westbrook turned in […]

Cam Robinson Suffers Torn ACL

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Week 2 against the Patriots and will miss the rest of the season. Robinson was a young up-and-coming left tackle, so this is a big blow to the Jaguars offensive line and is bad news for quarterback Blake Bortles.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, JAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville has found a younger version of Marcedes Lewis in Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and not just because neither is good at averaging 10 yards per catch. A.S.J. hauled in a Blake Bortles touchdown pass in Week 2 and has back-to-back three-catch games to his credit to start the […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was impressive in Jacksonville’s 31-20 win over the Patriots on Sunday, throwing for 377 yards and four touchdowns. It's one of the best games Bortles has ever played in the NFL. This was also a coming out game […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: How Keelan Cole hasn’t reached 50% ownership is beyond me. If you follow me on Twitter or read my work, I am even more disappointed in you. I’ve been telling you since last season that Cole was going to be the WR1 in Jacksonville and […]

Donte Moncrief Leads Team In Targets In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief finished Week 1 with just one catch on five targets, but quarterback Blake Bortles looked his way more often in the team's Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots. Moncrief caught four of his team-high nine targets, finishing with 34 yards and a touchdown. That Moncrief has now […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Finds End Zone

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught three passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 2 win over New England. Seferian-Jenkins, who also had three catches in Week 1, doesn't appear to a major threat in Jacksonville's passing game from a yardage perspective, but he does give the team a big […]

Dede Westbrook Catches Touchdown Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught four passes for 83 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville's Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots. Westbrook's 61-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter helped the Jaguars ice the game and showed off his ability to gain yards after the catch. The bad news from this outing? […]

Keelan Cole A Highlight In Week 2 Victory

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole made plenty of highlight reels after a one-handed catch against the Patriots, but that wasn't the only good moment from the second-year receiver. Cole caught seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in the victory, establishing himself as Jacksonville's most dangerous receiver. He'll look to deliver similar results […]

Corey Grant Contributes As Receiver In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant was a non-factor in Week 1, but with starting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) missing Week 2's meeting with New England, the Jaguars turned to Grant to help move the ball. Grant carried the ball four times for 13 yards, but his main contribution was in the receiving game, […]

T.J. Yeldon Leads Jaguars In Rushing In Week 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon was pressed into action in Week 2 after starting running back Leonard Fournette was ruled out before the game with a hamstring issue. Yeldon responded with 58 rushing yards on 10 attempts, as well as 13 receiving yards on two catches. It wasn't a great performance from Yeldon, but […]

Blake Bortles Has Strong Game Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 377 yards on 29-for-45 passing in Sunday's win over the New England Patriots. With running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out, Bortles took to the air, tossing four touchdowns and an interception while also rushing six times for 35 yards. It was an impressive outing for Bortles, who gets […]

Calais Campbell Will Play Against New England

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is active for Week 2 against the Patriots. Campbell was listed as questionable on Sunday morning but will be able to suit up in a big matchup against New England. Campbell is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL and will create headaches for Pats quarterback […]

Leonard Fournette Is Inactive

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 2 against the Patriots, according to a source. Make sure you pull him out of your lineups for Week 2 if you haven't already. In his absence, T.J. Yeldon should see the lion's share of the work in the backfield, with Corey Grant […]

Calais Campbell Will Play

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is active for Week 2 against the Patriots. Campbell was listed as questionable on Sunday morning but will be able to suit up in a big matchup against New England. Campbell is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL and will create headaches for Pats quarterback […]

Leonard Fournette Unlikely To Play Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) continues to look unlikely to play in Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots. Fournette will test his hamstring one more time before the game, but after feeling tightness in it all week during workouts, any discomfort will lead to Fournette sitting out. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2): Targets and Avoids

What an exciting Week 1 - one of my favorite opening weeks in recent memory. We got to see a rare tie, a seven hour game, a shootout, and some good defensive battles. Even crazier, more than half of survivor pools are already eliminated after the Saints and Lions lost. Week 1 also leads to […]

Week 2 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. ECR

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. I did decently in Week 1, scoring 29th out of ~130 experts, but if I'm going to beat my 9th place finish from […]

Week 2 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

The first week of the NFL season is in the books! We learned all kinds of cool things last weekend, including the fact that Ryan Fitzpatrick is the greatest quarterback of all-time, that Matthew Stafford might as well change his last name to Peterman, and that having Alvin Kamara, James Conner, and Tyreek Hill all […]

Week 2 Lineup Questions - Fantasy Football Pop Quiz

I tend to abide by a pretty simple rule when it comes to drafting players; unless something is unexpectedly wrong with them, I don't make a lot of shifts between Weeks 1 and 2 (or through Week 3, for that matter.) If you drafted Mike Williams and he didn't get as much target share as […]
