Heroes and Zeroes - Divisional Round Fantasy Football Picks

I have to admit I'm a bit peeved that LeSean McCoy miraculously healed from his ankle injury in time to ruin my Marcus Murphy sleeper pick. Otherwise, I might have gone six-for-six on my Hero picks last week. Sure, Kareem Hunt didn't put up huge numbers, but he did score a touchdown to at least […]

Eight Lineup Busts and Avoids for the Divisional Round

The second round of the playoffs is here, which means that this is the final week in which we'll have four games going. Below is a potential bust for each team this weekend. Because there are so few teams in play, these players aren't necessarily potential busts in the same sense that they would have been […]

Divisional Round Game Picks - NFL Playoff Predictions

The best weekend of the NFL season is here. The Divisional Round usually pits the eight divisional champs against one another, if they win at home the week prior. This year only two of the four matchups are between division champs, Jags at Steelers, and Saints at Vikings. A quick word about Chiefs collapse against […]

Deeper DraftKings DFS Sleepers for the Divisional Round

How did that first weekend of the playoffs treat you? If you thought the Chiefs and Rams were close to being sure things, well...you were disappointed. Neither offense delivered, with Kansas City running back Kareem Hunt disappearing in the second half despite his team playing with a big lead, and the Rams explosive offense couldn't […]

NFL Rookies To Watch In The Divisional Round

Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Hopefully, by […]

Marcedes Lewis Limited In Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday. There's been no indication that Lewis is in danger of missing the Divisional matchup against the Steelers. He's a weak fantasy option, though, as he scored three of his five touchdowns this year in a fluke game on Sept. 24 against the Ravens. […]

Marcedes Lewis Is Not Fantasy Viable Against Stingy Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis will have a tough matchup against the Steelers on Sunday. The veteran tight end has been a touchdown-dependent option all season and should see slim pickings against a Steelers defense that allowed the third fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Lewis' value is when he is […]

Dede Westbrook Could Lead Jaguars Passing Offense Again

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was a lone bright spot for the Jaguars passing game in their 10-3 playoff win over the Bills last week. He led the team with eight targets and his pedestrian 48 receiving yards also led the way in an anemic vertical passing performance. This week he will take on […]

Marqise Lee Has To Become Difference Maker Against Pittsburgh

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee was held without a catch in his return to the field last week against the Bills. Lee has been sidelined with an ankle injury for the past month and is gutting it out for the Jaguars playoff run. Lee possesses the talent to be a difference maker and the […]

Keelan Cole Will Be Boom Or Bust Against Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole will try and re-establish himself in the playoffs this week against the Steelers. Cole finished up the final stretch of the season as the Jaguars top receiver but was held without a catch last week in the offensively-bereft matchup against the Bills. Cole will be boom or bust against […]

Leonard Fournette Aims To Repeat Early Season Success Against Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette will be hoping for a repeat performance when he plays the Steelers for the second time this season. The Steelers defense has allowed the 14th most fantasy points to running backs this season and were absolutely destroyed by Fournette earlier this season to the tune of 181 yards and […]

Blake Bortles Can't Make Mistakes Against Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will have a tough matchup against a Steelers defense that allowed the ninth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Bortles won the first playoff game of his career last week but rushed for more yards (88) than passing yards (87). The Steelers will be looking for revenge after the […]

Running Back Targets for DFS and Playoff Leagues: Divisional Round

The Wild Card games proved to be wild indeed, with a couple of underdogs advancing to the second round of the NFL playoffs. If you're in a one-and-done fantasy league, hopefully you didn't burn your RB picks on disappointing players like Mark Ingram or Devonta Freeman, as the limited pool of players makes each pick […]

Dede Westbrook Leads Jaguars With 48 Receiving Yards In Win

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught a team-high five passes for 48 yards in the Jaguars 10-3 win over the Bills in the playoffs. Westbrook also led the Jaguars with eight targets on a day when the Jaguars could not get anything going in the passing game. Westbrook came up with some nice catches […]

Keelan Cole Finishes Jaguars Win With Zero Receptions

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole was held without a catch in the Jaguars 10-3 win over the Bills. Conservative was clearly on the menu for the Jaguars offensive game plan, and Cole was targeted only once in the game. With Allen Hurns and Marqise Lee both active in the game, a decrease in snaps […]

Marqise Lee Rushes For Five Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee returned to the field on Sunday and rushed for only five yards in the Jaguars win against the Bills. Lee has missed the past month with an ankle injury and his return should have helped out an inconsistent Jaguars passing offense. But Lee failed to record a catch on […]

Leonard Fournette Puts Up 78 All-Purpose Yards In Jaguars Win

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed for 57 yards and added 21 yards receiving in the Jaguars 10-3 win over the Bills. Fournette saw 21 carries in the game, but points were at a premium in this playoff matchup. Fournette managed to average only 2.7 yards per carry but ran hard for some tough […]

Blake Bortles, Jaguars Play It Safe In Win

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles completed 12 of 23 passes for only 87 yards but added a passing touchdown and 88 rushing yards in the Jaguars 10-3 win over the Bills. The Jaguars defense dominated the Bills and the Jaguars barely did enough on offense to advance in their playoff quest. Bortles converted on a […]

T.J. Yeldon Inactive In Wild-Card Round

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (illness) is inactive for the Wild-Card game against the Bills on Sunday. Yeldon typically serves as the third-down back for the Jags, so his absence is a downgrade for their backfield, but it could mean more pass-catching work for rookie Leonard Fournette. Fournette is a strong play in fantasy […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Wild Card Round

The NFL regular season might be over, but the under-the-radar booms and busts will not stop until a team wins the Super Bowl! The wacky Wild Card weekend is upon football fans and fantasy players. This gives fantasy football addicts four games to concentrate on and a larger player pool to work with than later […]

Marqise Lee, T.J. Yeldon Listed As Questionable

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (ankle) and running back T.J. Yeldon (illness) are questionable for the Wild-Card matchup with the Bills this weekend. Head coach Doug Marrone said Lee looked better than he thought he would, making him more probable than doubtful. Yeldon is 50-50 with a "bug." We'd be surprised if both players […]
