Jakeem Grant (WR, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Forget Devante Parker, he's just a decoy for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant and Albert Wilson these days. Grant was the speedy return guy used on gimmick plays last year. Now he's looking like the Dolphins' version of Tyreek Hill. Grant turned two offensive touches into […]

Paul Richardson (WR, WSH) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Prior to Week 3, Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson had hauled in at least four catches in his first two games of the season, but the big play had eluded him. In Week 3, the volume wasn’t there, but one catch for […]

Mark Andrews (TE, BAL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The revolving door at tight end for Baltimore the past couple seasons has made fantasy owners dizzy. Maxx Williams, Benjamin Watson, Crockett Gillmore and Dennis Pitta have all done disservices to fantasy players in one way or another. So it is refreshing to have Mark […]

Eric Berry Out For Third Straight Week

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive in Week 3 against the 49ers. Berry hasn't practiced since early August and doesn't appear to be anywhere close to rejoining the team. His absence continues to be felt in a poor KC secondary, and they are in line to be roasted for the third straight […]

Spencer Ware Is Active Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee) is active for Week 3 against the 49ers. Ware was a late addition to the injury report, but he will suit up and will continue to back up Kareem Hunt. Ware has no standalone value in fantasy leagues.

Pass Rush vs QB Matchups to Watch (Week 3)

With players like Patrick Mahomes and Ryan Fitzpatrick at the top of the fantasy football leaderboard, sometimes the difference between winning your week can be the very smallest of details. The pass rush vs QB matchups are often overlooked, but might be one of the most important. Through two weeks of hot fantasy football action, […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 3

Forget about the busts and booms everyone in fantasy football knows about! What about those busts and booms flying under the radar?

It is still early enough in the season where certain players are not getting the pub (negatively or positively) they […]

Week 3 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Through two weeks of the NFL season, my hit rate on projecting non-quarterback busts has been pretty strong, but when it comes to predicting which quarterbacks would struggles...man, it's been tough. Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 2 and Patrick Mahomes in Week 1... Still, it's Week 3, and we're starting to get some better data to […]

Week 3 Consistency Reports - All Positions

Assessing consistency after two weeks of the season is always tough but in a 16-game season we have already seen an eighth of it. Therefore, looking at how players have started the season is still useful. It may not be a predictor of long-term fantasy consistency but it does give us an impression of who […]

Spencer Ware Questionable Against 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee) was limited in practice and is questionable for Week 3 against the 49ers. It's a new injury for Ware, so he might not be able to suit up on Sunday as Kareem Hunt's main backup. If Ware cannot play, expect Damien Williams and rookie Darrel Williams to […]

Eric Berry Doubtful Against 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is listed as doubtful for Week 3 against the 49ers. Berry hasn't practiced since early August and has no timetable for a return. His absence is bad news for a secondary that has been torched in the first two weeks of the season. Expect that to continue this […]

Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 3

Week 2 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and what a wild ride it has been so far. Matt Breida leads the NFL in rushing, David Johnson is ranked outside of the top 25 in fantasy points at his position, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the number one overall fantasy player, Patrick Mahomes has […]

Carson Wentz is Back! Should You Trade Him?

That headline is sure to get some wide-eyed looks and eye rolls but I'm serious. Now that he's back, should you trade Carson Wentz immediately? It's a much more legitimate idea than it sounds. It's hard to envision a scenario where the pre-injury MVP-to-be can automatically be on the block the second he returns, but […]

Travis Kelce a Great Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns in the victory over the Steelers in Week 2. Kelce was quiet during Week 1, but that was likely a fluke performance. He'll face off against a 49ers defense that has allowed two touchdowns to tight ends already this […]

Sammy Watkins A Solid WR3 for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a rough first week but was able to put together a 100-yard game against the Steelers in Week 2. Watkins has been tough to trust since last season, but hopefully a change in scenery has helped him. He's going up against a 49ers defense that has allowed […]

Tyreek Hill is Elite Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has four touchdowns through the first two games of the regular season. New Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has found immediate chemistry with Hill. The Chiefs are heading into a matchup with the 49ers who have allowed almost 300 passing yards per game. Both Hill and Mahomes should have […]

Kareem Hunt Should Be Reliable for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has put together one forgettable week and one respectable week through the first two games of the season. It's sometimes tough to know which Hunt you're going to get on a weekly basis. Hunt was able to find room to run against the Steelers last week, so he […]

Patrick Mahomes an Excellent Option for Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been unstoppable through the first two weeks of the regular season. Mahomes has thrown 10 touchdowns without a single interception through two weeks. He'll face off against a 49ers defense that has allowed almost 300 passing yards per game.
