The Cut List – Who To Drop for Week 9?
I feel the need to come clean on two players who have finally made my cut list – and one of them comes with an asterisk. I have been hesitant to include Odell Beckham Jr. or Allen Robinson on the Cut List despite their extremely poor play and I think I need to explain why. When […]
Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9: Derek Carr, Carson Wentz, Tua Tagovailoa, Mike White
Week 8 was a breath of fresh air after the onslaught of teams on bye in Week 7. Only two teams were missing from action in Week 8, although they did feature two strong fantasy producers in Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert. Unfortunately, a bigger slate of games didn’t necessarily mean offensive fireworks in Week […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round
Well, Week 8 once again reminded us that nothing is certain in the NFL as the Jets beat the Bengals for a full dose of spooky on Halloween. There were also several in-game injuries and pregame pivots from Dak Prescott, Calvin Ridley, and more. Gather yourselves and let's dive into the waiver wire lightning round […]
Rams Put DeSean Jackson On Waivers
The Los Angeles Rams officially waived wide receiver DeSean Jackson on Tuesday after the team couldn't work out a trade for him before the deadline. Jackson will hope to latch on with another organization as a boom/bust deep threat. The 34-year-old caught eight of his 15 targets for 221 yards (27.6 yards per catch) and […]
Van Jefferson (WR, LAR) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeSean Jackson has been waived by the Rams, but he was a non-factor in the offense regardless. He saw just 6% of snaps in Week 7 and didn't play any in Week 8. That has let second-year man Van Jefferson thrive in […]
Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?
In Week 8 we witnessed a few unfamiliar names register QB1 performances. Mike White finished as QB-2 in his first career start, Justin Fields seemed to have turned a corner to finish as QB-5 and Geno Smith took advantage of a great matchup against a bad Jaguars defense to finish as QB-8. Josh Allen, Jimmy […]
Tutu Atwell To Have Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that rookie wide receiver Tutu Atwell (shoulder) will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery after he was injured in the Week 8 blowout win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Rams Defense Lands Von Miller In Blockbuster Deal With Broncos
The Los Angeles Rams are all in. Specifically, their all-in on defense, after they landed eight-time Pro Bowler Von Miller from Denver in a massive trade Monday afternoon, further bolstering an already stout unit. Miller had morphed into the face of the franchise with the Broncos, where he starred from 2011 up until Sunday. In […]
Matthew Stafford Nearly Flawless In Win Over Texans
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continued his MVP campaign with 302 passing yards and three touchdowns in a blowout against the Houston Texans. At this point, Stafford is undoubtedly a fantasy starter regardless of matchup, but with every week, he continues to supplant himself as a top five option as well. With such phenomenal […]
Tutu Atwell Questionable To Return
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The rookie has mainly served as a kick returner this season, with just 10 offensive snaps all year, so there's not much fantasy impact to an Atwell injury, unless you're in a league with kick return […]
Jalen Ramsey Active Against Texans
Los Angeles Rams defensive back Jalen Ramsey (illness) is not listed on the team's inactive list ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the struggling Texans. His omission from the most recent report means he will be good to go against Houston on Sunday. Although most fantasy managers don't need much convincing that Davis Mills […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 8
As usual, the wide receiver matchup article from last week had some solid recommendations along with a few letdowns. Davante Adams (WR-10) had a solid game against a struggling Washington defense, Marquise Brown (WR-11) scored on a long-touchdown against the Bengals, while both Corey Davis (WR-20) and Calvin Ridley (WR-26) came through with scores. Brandin Cooks (WR-54) caught five […]
Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Week 7 was a bit of a rough one, I'm not gonna lie to you. I got only six of the top-10 defenses right with Carolina completely falling on their faces against a Giants offense led by Dante Pettis, and both the Browns and Broncos defenses getting nothing going in a real stinker of a […]
