Talk about a Thursday night thriller! A hotly contested battle between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers provided fantasy owners with plenty to be happy about. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers passed for over 400 yards and threw two touchdowns to one interception, while stud wide receiver Davante Adams was on a roll with 10 […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

There were plenty of fireworks on Sunday, with eight teams scoring 30 or more points. The vultures also came out to roost, assuming that's what vultures do. In other words, several unknown players came onto the field simply to steal a touchdown away from a fantasy stud and frustrate fantasy owners. We won't list those […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 5

There will not be a stampede of fantasy players searching for tight ends this week. The Week 5 bye teams will not really kill any fantasy owners at the tight end position, as Detroit’s injured / inconsistent rookie T.J. Hockenson and Miami’s underwhelming Mike Gesicki are the two starting tight ends off. That does not […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

A quarter of the fantasy football season is over. That means no more waiting around to make important decisions about the state of your roster. The short bye weeks continue, as the Lions and Dolphins will be out of action, neither of which should alter the state of the waiver wire much. That said, here […]

Gerald Everett (TE, LAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Finding a tight end to rely on is becoming increasingly problematic in deep leagues. The dearth of talent at the position forces owners to keep returning to tantalizing but underperforming options, like Gerald Everett, who has never quite matched the hopes many had […]

Eric Weddle Busy In Week 4

Los Angeles Rams free safety Eric Weddle had 15 tackles (10 solo) and two pass defenses in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Weddle has had six or seven total tackles in each of the three previous games, and he's a fringe starting option in individual defensive player formats.

Rams Defense Smoked In Week 4

The Los Angeles Rams Defense was lit up for 55 points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a surprise loss. The Rams garnered just two sacks and one interception in the clunker. The Seattle Seahawks present a solid matchup Thursday night, but the Rams aren't playing well enough on the other side of the ball […]

Gerald Everett Reaches Pay Dirt

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett caught five passes for 44 yards and a score in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was targeted eight times to tight end Tyler Higbee's seven targets. Everett being so involved in the offense despite Higbee's return to health is a good sign in the long […]

Tyler Higbee Has So-So Day

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee returned to the lineup to deliver four catches for 41 yards in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Higbee's value hinges mostly on touchdowns, and he only has one thus far. The Seattle Seahawks present a midrange matchup in the short week, but Higbee doesn't have enough […]

Malcolm Brown Does Very Little

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed five times for 14 yards in the Week 4 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brown has done very little since his two-touchdown effort in Week 1. At this point, he's just a handcuff to running back Todd Gurley and shouldn't be considered for your lineups Thursday […]

Todd Gurley Scores Twice

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed just five times for 16 yards, but he was able to reach the end zone twice against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught seven balls for 54 yards. While the rushing numbers are discouraging, he made the most of them with the two scores. He had […]

Greg Zuerlein Perfect In Week 4

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein was perfect on Sunday afternoon, with two field goals and four extra points, in the team’s 55-40 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran showed his strength, booming a 58-yard field goal with room to spare. Lock Zuerlein in as a top kicking option, regardless of matchup.

Josh Reynolds Mostly Silent Despite Offensive Explosion

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds had one reception on two targets in the team’s 55-40 defeat against the Tampa Buccaneers. Sunday afternoon confirmed that, despite both offenses going for nearly 1,000 yards and Jared Goff throwing 68 passes. Reynolds remains decidedly behind in targets to each of the starting wide receivers (Cooper Kupp, […]

Jared Goff Has An Up-And-Down Week 4 Performance

On an afternoon where both offenses combined for 982 total yards, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had 45 completions on an absurd 68 attempts for 517 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in the team’s 55-40 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Playing catch-up for most of the contest, head coach Sean McVay relied […]

Brandin Cooks Solid In Week 4 Defeat

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks had six receptions on nine targets for 71 yards in the team’s 55-40 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On an afternoon where both offenses were exploding, Cooks continued to serve as the deep-ball threat for the team. While the star wide receiver appears to be third in […]

Robert Woods Rebounds And Dominates In Week 4

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods exploded in the team’s 55-40 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 13 receptions on 15 targets for a team-high 164 yards. For fantasy owners, Woods’ performance on Sunday afternoon was a breath of fresh air. During the past two contests, the veteran was underutilized and barely featured […]

Cooper Kupp Impresses In Week 4 Defeat

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp continues to make his case as a fantasy WR1, as he hauled in nine receptions on 15 targets for 121 yards and a TD in the team’s 55-40 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Kupp took a back seat to teammate Robert Woods for most of Sunday […]

Week 4 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

As you've probably figured out already, fantasy football is a roller coaster ride. It's give and take. It's one step forward, two steps backwards most of the time. No game in Week 3 encapsulates this more than Bucs-Giants. Tampa's stud wideout Mike Evans had six catches for 89 scoreless yards through two weeks. Then he […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

Through three weeks of the season, it sure looks like we'll see a Patriots-Chiefs AFC Championship rematch. Both of those teams look unstoppable. My one qualm with New England is they've yet to face a formidable opponent. The combined record of New England's opponents is 0-9. Now they get a real test on the road […]
