Brandin Cooks Has A Tough Matchup
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been really mediocre over the last five weeks. He has 22 catches for 289 yards and no touchdowns in five games. The Cincinnati Bengals aren't a great matchup as they have been a tougher matchup during that stretch allowing just under 140 receiving yards per games to […]
Darrell Henderson A Risky Flex
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson has a decent outlook this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The question is whether the team will get out to a big lead in London and opt to rest starting running back Todd Gurley for Henderson to pad his stats. They have vastly underperformed on offense, and they […]
Todd Gurley With Positive Outlook
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a healthy outlook for Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are among the worst at defending the position the last five weeks and have allowed backs to rush for 117 yards per game. Gurley has scored five touchdowns in his last three games, and this […]
Jared Goff A Solid Play
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has a decent matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals this week. The Bengals are in the lower half of the league in defending the quarterback position over the last five weeks. Oddly enough, they have given up a ton of yardage through the air and on the ground, but they […]
Mid-Season Awards: MVP's and LVP's
When it comes to awards, everything is subjective. Some people just go with the best player at each position. That is fine in real football but not in fantasy football. Christian McCaffrey has had the best season as a running back, but as the first or second pick in drafts, he needed to do so […]
Re-Evaluating Strength of Schedule for the Playoffs
We're just days away from crossing the halfway mark of the season. It sucks, I know, but we fantasy owners can't lose time crying and lamenting about what we can't fix. We have to look forward and always be one step ahead of our competition. And that, my friends, means we need to start thinking […]
Players to Buy Before the Trade Deadline
The NFL trade deadline is now less than a week away, which gives you just enough time to get ahead of your competition. The deadline hasn't historically been filled with a flurry of moves, but we're at a time in the fantasy seasons where the end of our benches should be filled with high-end stashes […]
NCAA Prospects To Watch: Week 9
Mock draft season is heating up with some big-name outlets making major changes to their boards – Joe Burrow vaulting into the top spot for some. While there is still time for even more changes, it makes for an exciting time to watch some of these guys rising up boards in order to see if […]
Malcolm Brown Ruled Out Against Bengals
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) will be out for Week 8 against the Bengals in London. It will be Brown's second straight absence. Todd Gurley returned from a one-game absence in Week 7 but was spelled often by rookie Darrell Henderson. Gurley maintains RB2 value in fantasy, but this matchup could offer […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, David Montgomery
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. […]
Warning Signs: Zach Ertz, David Johnson, Mitch Trubisky
Week 7 brought some new warnings our way. The Bears stink, or maybe just Mitch Trubisky. Todd Gurley still can’t get it going despite a dominant team performance. Finally, as has become a regular routine at this point, Will Fuller has another hamstring injury. So, what do we really need to pay attention to going […]
Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
It's Chase Edmonds' world, we're just living in it. Wait, what? Hopefully you added him, as suggested in this column the past two weeks, because even if David Johnson is deemed healthy enough to actually play, it's likely Edmonds continues to see action. In QB news, by the halfway point of Thursday night, we already had […]

Malcolm Brown Missing Practice Wednesday
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Brown sat out in Week 7 and doesn't appear to be any closer to returning for this week's contest against the Bengals. Todd Gurley returned from his one-game absence last weekend but was spelled often by rookie Darrell Henderson in a blowout […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 7 Outliers
Week 7 seemed extremely fluky for fantasy football purposes. Devonta Freeman was ejected, and players like Will Fuller, Adam Thielen and Kerryon Johnson were both forced from their games very early on which hurt a lot of fantasy owners. The Rams wide receivers were supposed to light the world on fire against a Falcons secondary that […]
Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 8
We're past the halfway point of the regular fantasy football season, which means you'd better start making some serious moves if you have any weaknesses in your roster. Unfortunately, this is also the time of the year when the waiver wire is at its most desolate. But that's why I'm here. To navigate you through […]
Week 8 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Week 7 is over, and a few things have changed. The Los Angeles Rams learned how to play offense again, and the New York Jets came back to Earth, among other things. Week 7 was an especially quiet week for kickers across the NFL. A lot of kickers weren't able to get on the field […]
Week 8 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers
A two-team bye week is a lot easier for fantasy football players to navigate than a four-team bye week. Fantasy owners are going to have to live without Dallas’ Jason Witten and Baltimore’s Mark Andrews in Week 8. If you have one of the those players as your starting tight end, the problem is that […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round
The better part of seven weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse. One must still consider the matchups played thus far and those to come, but usage and volume are becoming reliable. Week 8 sees the Ravens and Cowboys hit their bye week. To […]
Dante Fowler Has Big Game
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Dante Fowler had seven tackles (six solo), three sacks and a pass defense against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. His tackles and sacks were both team highs. Fowler is a fringe player to own in individual defensive player leagues, but this might put him over the hump and onto rosters.
Rams Defense Comes Up Big
The Los Angeles Rams Defense had a big day against the Atlanta Falcons with five sacks, two fumble recoveries, one that went for a touchdown, an interception and just 10 points allowed. They have upside next week against the Cincinnati Bengals and are a midrange start for Week 8.
Gerald Everett Bounces Back
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett caught four receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. Everett was targeted a team-high 10 times in the game. He'll have a tough matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals next week. The Bengals have only allowed tight ends to grab 13 balls […]
Tyler Higbee With Just One Catch
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee had just one catch for eight yards on his only target against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. Higbee will have games like these, but the team spreads the ball around enough for him to still have a spot on rosters as a backup. He's not an option against the […]
Robert Woods Leads The Way
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods led the team with 80 receiving yards on five catches in Week 7. He was targeted seven times against the Atlanta Falcons. He'll be worth flex consideration again in Week 8 with a tougher matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams spread the ball around, and he could […]
