Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9

Many fantasy football trades get rejected or talks break off because the team making offers does not think things through. The owner sending the offer usually thinks about only what they want and need and how little they may be able to part with. Such offers usually consist of one owner simply deciding on the […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Devin Singletary, Robert Woods, Odell Beckham

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers

Week 8 didn't offer too many surprises for the most part. There were, however, a few players that registered multiple-touchdown performances which elevated them up the ranks, such as Aaron Jones (2 TD), Tevin Coleman (4 TD), Latavius Murray (2 TD) and Mike Evans (2 TD). For the most part, the players that scored multiple […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

We're heading into the ninth week of NFL football now. Time flies and all that, right? Week 8 was one of those weeks where it can be hard to watch football, as the matchups weren't great and the best teams kept winning and anyone who had to play against Tevin Coleman had a really bad […]

Week 9 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

Week 9 will not be an easy week for fantasy football owners or tight end lovers. Four NFL teams are on bye this week, and the tight ends who will be out of action are prominent and valuable. Atlanta’s Austin Hooper, who has been a top-5 tight end throughout the season, is the marquee name […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

With eight weeks gone, that means over 60% of the regular fantasy season is over. Are you still with us? 8-0 teams are looking ahead to playoff matchups while 2-6 teams are looking for the 7-6 Wild Card spot. The upcoming bye week means no Bengals, Falcons, Rams or Saints -- so many of you […]

Rams Defense So-So In Week 8

The Los Angeles Rams Defense delivered five sacks and allowed just 10 points to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. They didn't force any turnovers, though. The Rams are on a bye before a potential streaming play in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Josh Reynolds Steps Up

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds had three catches for 73 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. Reynolds stepped up for the injured Brandin Cooks (concussion), who left the game with a concussion. The Rams are on a bye next week, but if Cooks is forced to miss time, Reynolds could be worth […]

Gerald Everett Quiet In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett caught two passes for 15 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was targeted just three times. The Rams have a ton of options to spread the ball around to, and Everett is falling victim to the numbers of late. They're on a bye in Week 9, but Everett […]

Robert Woods Does Little In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods caught two balls for 36 yards and rushed four times for six yards in the Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals had no defense for wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who stole the show in London. Woods and the Rams will be on a bye next […]

Cooper Kupp Has Career Day

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was unstoppable in Week 8 with seven catches for a career-high 220 yards and a touchdown. Kupp had five catches of at least 20 yards in the first half and set a new career high with 155 of his 220 yards in the first two frames. Kupp and […]

Darrell Henderson As Uneventful Day

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson saw 11 carries in a blowout of the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, and he rushed for 49 yards. He also caught two balls for 20 yards in what was an OK showing, but it didn't do much in fantasy. The Rams are on a bye next week, […]

Todd Gurley Reaches End Zone

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley had a quiet day in Week 8 with 10 rushes for 44 yards, but he salvaged the day with a touchdown. He was targeted once through the air, but he didn't record a reception. The Rams were in control throughout the game, and Gurley was used lightly. He'll […]

Jared Goff Airs It Out

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff was 17-for-31 for 372 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals had no answer for Rams receiver Cooper Kupp, who went for a career-high 220 yards through the air. Goff and the Rams will be on a bye next week before they return […]

Brandin Cooks Suffers Head Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (head) is being evaluated for a concussion early in the Week 8 game against the Bengals in London. It's Cooks' fourth concussion in the last two years, so we'd be surprised if he returns for this game. Cooks dropped his only target on the helmet-to-helmet hit, so fantasy […]

Rams Open To Trading Aqib Talib

The Los Angeles Rams are open to trading cornerback Aqib Talib (ribs) and other veteran players ahead of Tuesday's deadline in an effort to free up more money for recently acquired cornerback Jalen Ramsey, according to league sources.
