The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 10)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Week 9 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

Finally a good matchup on Monday night! The Giants may not be "good" but they at least have fantasy-relevant players. The Cowboys, as well as being the better team, also have more fantasy potential. Both of these teams have running backs who are among the best in the NFL. And both have quarterbacks who can […]

Harrison Butker is Perfect Against Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had one of his best fantasy performances of the season in Week 9. He connected on all four of his field goal attempts during the 26-23 victory over Minnesota. That included one field goal that was beyond 50 yards, so fantasy owners are thanking Butker on Sunday. He finished […]

Demarcus Robinson Hauls in One Reception

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has seen his usage heavily decrease with the team getting healthy. Robinson has seen four total targets over the last two games. He caught one of two targets for five yards in the victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. Robinson and Mecole Hardman split time at […]

Mecole Hardman Isn't Targeted in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman found fantasy value earlier in the season when the team was banged up, but has seemingly lost it all. Hardman has seen his targets decrease each week since Week 6. He wasn't targeted at all during the Week 9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He rushed the ball […]

Travis Kelce Continues to Be Mr. Reliable

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was expected to lose some fantasy value with Matt Moore at quarterback, but that has not been the case. Kelce has seen 17 targets over the last two games with Moore under helm. He caught seven of nine targets for 62 yards in the victory over the Vikings […]

Sammy Watkins is Targeted 10 Times in Win

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins saw a high volume of usage during the Week 9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Watkins has been a big weapon for the team lately seeing 18 total targets over the last two games. He hauled in seven receptions for 63 yards on Sunday against Minnesota. It wasn't […]

Tyreek Hill Crushes Vikings in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been one of the few Chiefs' players to remain consistent with Matt Moore at quarterback. He finished with six receptions for 76 yards last week and was able to top that here. Hill caught six of eight targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in the Week […]

LeSean McCoy Gets Stopped by Minnesota

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was heading into Week 9 with three straight performances of 40 rushing yards or more. He was unable to get anything going during the Week 9 victory over the Vikings. McCoy rushed three times for nine yards and caught one pass for no yardage. Damien Williams finished with […]

Damien Williams Has Huge Performance Against Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has been tough to own in fantasy leagues this season because he hasn't done much since Week 1. Williams was able to run all over the Vikings in Week 9. He rushed 12 times for 125 yards and a touchdown in the win. However, most of the yards […]

Matt Moore Throws Touchdown in Victory

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore was given another start on Sunday without Patrick Mahomes (knee) available. Moore completed 25 of 35 passing attempts for 275 yards and a touchdown in the Week 9 victory over the Vikings. He was serviceable during his two starts, but Mahomes is expected to return for their matchup with […]

Patrick Mahomes, Frank Clark Out Against Vikes

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) and defensive end Frank Clark (neck) are both inactive for Week 9 against the Vikings. Mahomes was a game-time decision, but the Chiefs are playing it safe with their star quarterback. There's a good chance he returns in Week 10 to face the Titans. When he's back, Mahomes […]

Patrick Mahomes Out, Matt Moore Starting In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will miss another game on Sunday when the Chiefs face the Minnesota Vikings, which means that Matt Moore will earn another start for the Chiefs. Moore threw for 267 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Week 8, so his presence isn't a death sentence for the […]

Wide Receiver / Cornerback Matchups To Target in Week 9

In Week 8, the only unfamiliar faces to crack the top 15 at the wide receiver position were Chris Conley and Hunter Renfrow. Conley's big day came because Dede Westbrook was in and out of the game as he struggled with a shoulder injury, resulting in more targets heading Conley's way. Renfrow was fantasy-relevant because he […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

Week 8 was one for the favorites, as only two underdogs won outright, the Chargers and the Eagles. This means that only a scant number of entrants were knocked out of survivor pools. And of course, you had those fools who forgot to submit an entry and were eliminated. How can someone still be alive […]

Demarcus Robinson is a Desperation Flex

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has seen his fantasy value dip since the team got healthy. He'll split time with Mecole Hardman since Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are both playing now. Robinson caught both his targets for six yards in the Week 8 loss to the Packers. Hardman at least hauled his […]

Mecole Hardman is Difficult to Trust in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has been reliable for the team this season, but he'll lose value with Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins back healthy. Hardman caught two passes for 55 yards and a touchdown against the Packers in Week 8. Those were his only two targets of the game because he splits […]

Travis Kelce Can Be Leaned On in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been a reliable option for the team and fantasy owners all season long. He caught four of his eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. Kelce did not lose targets with veteran Matt Moore at quarterback. There's […]

Sammy Watkins Remains A WR3 Against Minnesota

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins returned last week against the Packers and performed well in the Week 8 loss. He caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in that one. It wasn't a great game, but he performed well with veteran Matt Moore as his quarterback. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has […]

Tyreek Hill Has Tough Matchup in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has three touchdowns and finished with at least 70 yards in each of the last three games. He's been exactly what fantasy owners have needed since coming back from injury in Week 6. However, losing quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has hurt his value. He'll get a tough matchup […]
