Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 3

In Week 2, only two of the wide receivers featured in this column found the end zone, which made for some tough sledding. Still, there were several solid performances. Here is a statistical recap of the Week 2 recommendations: Cooper Kupp – 9 targets, 5 catches, 120 yards Michael Gallup – 8 targets, 6 catches, 68 […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

After Week 1 saw defenses slow down rusty offenses, Week 2 had the offenses flipping the script. Offenses were scoring touchdowns and moving the ball with much more success. In Week 3, that trend is likely going to continue. Offenses are getting more in sync especially when it comes to quarterbacks. Several starting NFL quarterbacks […]

Week 3 Woos and Boos: Contrarian Lineup Decisions

Week 2 of fantasy football brought us yet another slate of games where unheralded players were rankings atop the leaderboards. Players like Raheem Mostert and Demarcus Robinson went from waiver wire pickups to heroes in a week. The savvy fantasy owner could see the plus matchups that these players had and plugged them into their […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]

Essential Fantasy Football Running Back Handcuffs: Get 'Em Now

When James Conner left last Sunday’s game with a knee injury, his owners immediately consulted their league’s free-agent list to see if Jaylen Samuels was available. Damien Williams and LeSean McCoy were both uncertain for this week, and many Fantasy players put in waiver claims for Darwin Thompson, who was cut early in the season […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 9/22/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

The story of the NFL season, aside from Antonio Brown burning his career to the ground, is change at the quarterback position. It started with Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement before the season started and injuries an ineffectiveness have already prompted changes. This week, Kyle Allen will start in place of Cam Newton for Carolina against […]

Aaron Donald Questionable For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald (back) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday night. Donald has practiced this week, so we'd expect him to suit up. However, he could be limited in an excellent opportunity against the Browns patchwork offensive line. In IDP leagues you'll want to have […]

Tyler Higbee Ruled Out For Sunday Night

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) has been ruled out for Week 3 on Sunday night against the Browns. With Higbee out, Gerald Everett will take over the main pass-catching duties against Cleveland. The Browns have been somewhat vulnerable to tight ends so far in 2019, making Everett a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer this […]

The Ravens and Lamar Jackson continue to roll while the Saints and Steelers offenses both took a hit with their respective quarterbacks going down. The goal of this weekly column will be to locate some of the best DFS stacks […]

Gerald Everett An Afterthought This Week

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett could see more action against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3 with Tyler Higbee (lung) iffy to play. The Browns have allowed just six catches to the position, but two of them went for touchdowns. Everett caught three balls for 21 yards last week after he caught just […]

Tyler Higbee Not A Week 3 Option

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) has a lukewarm matchup against the Cleveland Browns this week. The Browns have allowed just six catches to tight ends this year, but two of them went for six points. Higbee has six catches for 41 yards and a score on eight targets. Higbee is iffy to […]

Malcolm Brown A Sneaky Flex Option

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown could be a sneaky flex option against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. The Browns have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs this season. They flashed some big plays on offense last week, but it arguable that they should have did more against the flailing […]

Todd Gurley Could Be Jekyll Or Hyde

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a great matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. The Browns have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, and Gurley has been steady the first two weeks. He was used sparingly in the season opener, but he came on late when the […]

Greg Zuerlein Remains A Top Kicking Option Ahead Of Week 2

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein was perfect during the team’s 29-7 Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints with two field goals and three extra points. Zuerlein was able to show his range in Week 1 with a 56-yard kick against the Carolina Panthers, quieting any health concerns after the veteran had suffered […]

Jared Goff Faces Tough Cleveland Defense On The Road

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff saw some success in the team’s 29-7 Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints, completing 19 passes on 28 attempts for 283 yards and two TDs (one passing, one rushing). While Week 2 was a definite improvement over his subpar Week 1 performance, unfortunately Goff remains plagued by […]

Brandin Cooks Remains A Boom-Or-Bust WR2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks rebounded in the team’s Week 2 29-7 victory over the New Orleans Saints with three receptions on four targets for 74 yards and a TD. However, his five receptions through two games remains extremely concerning and indicates that the veteran could very well be the WR3 on the […]

Robert Woods Could Rebound In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods struggled in the team’s Week 2 29-7 victory over the New Orleans Saints. After all, he only had two receptions on two targets for 33 yards. However, fantasy owners should treat Week 2 as an anomaly; Woods had multiple plays called back due to holding penalties and the […]

Cooper Kupp Should Continue To Dominate

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp appears to be the WR1 in Los Angeles two weeks into the season thanks to his rapport with quarterback Jared Goff. Kupp enters Week 3 leading the team in receptions, yards and targets, an impressive feat considering he had torn his ACL just one year ago. In Week […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 2 Outliers

Through the first two weeks of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better handle on whether certain players are breaking out, or are one-week wonders. After Week 1, it was unclear whether Marquise Brown would be able to sustain his fantasy production off his 18% snap share. However, in Week 2, Brown […]
