Eric Berry Won't Practice

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said safety Eric Berry (heel) will not practice on Wednesday. It's not a good start to the week for Berry as the team gets set to face the 49ers at home. KC's secondary is beat up and bad, so they need Berry to return as soon as possible. […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 3)

After two weeks of the regular season, we can start to figure out which teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders, doomed to pick in the top of the 2019 NFL Draft. There is a common theme with the underperformers so far: poor offensive line play. The Giants, Cardinals, Seahawks all have been awful […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 2 has wrapped up, and, while some kickers put up some great numbers, others kicked themselves out of a job. Through two weeks, we've seen multiple surprises at the top of the kicker scorers. Players like Chandler Catanzaro and Randy Bullock are making a name for themselves early this season. Heading into Week 3, […]

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 […]

Chris Conley Scores in Week 2 Victory

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has been pushed down the depth chart this season. He's lost basically all his fantasy value with Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins, and Tyreek Hill being ahead of him. Conley caught both his targets for 17 yards and one touchdown on Sunday. However, Conley is not relevant for fantasy […]

Tyreek Hill Hauls in Touchdown in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill came back down to Earth after an incredible Week 1 performance against the Chargers. Hill caught five passes for 90 yards and one touchdown in the Week 2 victory over the Steelers. This was still a solid performance for Hill, but he was only targeted six times. Sammy […]

Sammy Watkins Has Solid Performance in Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a bounce-back performance on Sunday after having three catches for 21 yards in Week 1. Watkins caught six passes for 100 yards in the Week 2 victory over the Steelers. Unfortunately, Watkins has not able to find the end zone, but it was a solid performance and […]

Travis Kelce Hauls in Two Touchdowns on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had an awful Week 1, as he finished with one reception for six yards and disappointed many fantasy owners. However, Kelce had an incredible Week 2 performance against the Steelers. He caught seven passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Kelce was targeted 10 times and was clearly […]

Kareem Hunt Has Bounce-Back Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt finished with 49 yards during the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. The air attack has been excellent for the Chiefs, so Hunt could see less of a workload this season. Hunt had 18 carries for 75 yards and did catch a five-yard pass for a touchdown in […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Six Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a career day against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Mahomes went 23-for-28 with 326 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions. Mahomes now has 10 touchdowns in the first two weeks. No one expected Mahomes to be this good, but he's looking like an elite quarterback right now. […]

Eric Berry Could Practice This Week

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel), who has yet to play this year, is improving and could practice this week. KC's secondary has been ravaged in two weeks by the Chargers and Steelers, and getting Berry back would certainly make them a little stronger in that area. 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and his receivers […]

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 […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, TB) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has entered full-on Fitz-Magic mode, shredding the defending Super Bowl champions in Week 2 for 402 yards and four touchdowns.

Eric Berry Not Playing

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive in Week 2 against the Steelers. Running back Darrel Williams (shoulder) is also inactive. Berry hasn't practiced since early August and doesn't look close to returning at all. For a Chiefs secondary that is already week, his absence is a blow to this defense. Steelers quarterback […]

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.

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 […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks

I'm an introspective type of fellow, so in preparation for this season's first edition of Heroes and Zeroes (don't look for Week 1, it's in the clouds somewhere along with the missing episode of South Park), I decided to look back at some of last season's articles when I stumbled across this intro to a […]

Running Back Touch Breakdown - Week 1 Recap

Anytime I start a new project, I’m filled with so much excitement it’s hard not to start just dumping data on Twitter and sharing it with the world. That is how I have felt with this project for several weeks now. One thing I have always loved is collecting data on running backs. I truly […]

NFL DFS for Week 2: DraftKings Power Pivots

For those of us that play NFL DFS tournaments every week, ownership percentage is always a critical piece of the puzzle. Having a lineup full of very popular or chalk plays can limit upside in GPP tournaments. We can sometimes gain leverage in a tournament situation by differentiating our lineups, even if it’s only in […]

Week 2 Consistency Report

Finding consistency in fantasy sports is hugely important if you want to have a shot at winning your leagues. Players with high variability week-to-week have their purpose, but if you rely too much on them you are going to find yourself frustrated some weeks. If fantasy football had roto style leagues like baseball, or you […]

Eric Berry Doubtful To Play

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) didn't practice on Friday and will be listed as doubtful for Week 2 against the Steelers. Berry wasn't expected to suit up after not practicing all week, and there remains no timetable for his return. KC's defense was shredded by Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in Week 1, and […]

Stop The Slander - Kareem Hunt is a Weekly Must-Start

Kareem Hunt was one of the main causes for frustration in fantasy football's first week. Don't panic and Stop The Slander! Despite running for less than 50 yards for the eighth time in an 18-game career, and no rush going for more than 15 yards, Hunt has all the characteristics of someone you can trust […]
