Howdy, y'all, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings under the microscope and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). My hope is to help you understand why I’m significantly higher or lower on players than the expert crowd. Do note that the ECR is likely to shift a bit! Who […]

Week 6 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

It's Week 6 in the NFL and the Cleveland Browns have now won two games! Everything we once knew has been radically changed...except that the Browns won partially because Joe Flacco couldn't beat them, and Joe Flacco failing to beat a team isn't a new development. The more things change, the more nothing changes! Anyway, […]

Week 6 Consistency Reports - All Positions

We now have over a quarter of a seasons worth of data at our fingertips and the cream has well and truly risen to the top. There are still some interesting names high in the rankings at quarterback and tight end. However, these are generally more variable positions. That is why both positions are often […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 6 Lineup

In an effort to expand my horizons, I've gotten involved with a bit of a... strange club at work. It came up organically, one co-worker to another, over a quick in-office chat. How familiar was I with card games? Oh yeah, I knew where this was going. "Pretty good," I said, "and even when I'm […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview

It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coach’s room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench […]

We've been waiting for what seems like forever, and are proud to bring back our weekly recommendations for players to avoid at all costs.

Albert Wilson A Low-End Flex

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is a low-end flex play in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Wilson has averaged just over three catches per game so far this season but has seen an increase in targets over the last two weeks. If wide receiver Devante Parker is unavailable for Sundays matchup, there is […]

Kenyan Drake Has Tough Week 6 Matchup

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has a tough Week 6 matchup against the potent Chicago Bears defense. Despite Drake's solid Week 5 performance, there are many reasons to believe that he will regress in Week 6. Drake has averaged only eight touches over the past three weeks and the Dolphins offense, in general, have […]

DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant, A.J. Derby Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Devante Parker (quadriceps) and Jakeem Grant (shoulder) and tight end A.J. Derby (foot) are all questionable for Week 6 against the Bears. Parker said earlier this week that he had no idea if he'd play. He's only suited up for one game this year and isn't a realistic starting option even […]

Cameron Wake Listed As Doubtful

Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) is listed as doubtful to face the Bears in Week 6. Wake's absence will be bad news for a declining Miami defensive line. They'll try to get pressure in other ways on quarterback Mitch Trubisky on Sunday. Wake has recorded 12 tackles and one sack in four games […]

Ryan Tannehill Questionable With Shoulder Issue

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) is questionable for Week 6 against the Bears. He practiced on Wednesday and Thursday but was limited on Friday. We fully expect Tannehill to suit up, although he'll be facing off against a very tough Bears defense and shouldn't be started in single-QB leagues.

Laremy Tunsil Ready To Play In Week 6

Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil (concussion) is out of the concussion protocol and is ready to play in Week 6 against the Bears. It's great news for an offensive line that will have their hands full against a ferocious Chicago pass rush, namely All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack.

Frank Gore A Tolerable Week 6 Option

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is in a tough spot in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Gore has been out-touching running back Kenyan Drake but has yet to have a meaningful fantasy game. Gore has a decent floor as he will likely be able to run for at least 50 yards on his […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 6

The byes are here, but so are the booms and busts! Drew Brees will not be breaking any more records this week as he and his New Orleans Saints are on bye, along with Matthew Stafford and his Detroit Lions. So do not look for Tre’Quam Smith or Kerryon Johnson to make the columns as […]

Kenny Stills Avoidable In Week 6

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills does not have a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Chicago Bears defense. The Bears defense has locked down offenses so far this season and the Dolphins offense has struggled to gain any momentum; all signs lead to yet another quiet week for Stills. Besides his massive Week 1 […]

Wide Receiver Depth Chart Analysis - Week 6

The wide receiver landscape continues to change, with the biggest breakout belonging to Keke Coutee, who appears to have to established a role for himself in Houston regardless of Will Fuller's health. Several of the situations discussed in Week 5's article also played themselves out. Some hit -- see David Moore -- while others fell […]

Our weekly tiered defense rankings are a guide to making waiver wire pickups to improve your lineups, and to decide which defenses to start, […]

DeVante Parker Unsure Of Week 6 Availability

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) is unsure if he will be active in Week 6 against the Bears. He has missed four of the first five games of the season due to a broken finger and strained quadriceps. However, he's looked good in practice so far this week, and head coach Adam Gase […]

Cameron Wake Still Sidelined

Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) remained out of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Wake sat out last weekend and appears to be on track to missing his second straight game. That would be bad news for the team's pass rush as they look to slow down Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

Wide Receiver Target Variances - Week 5 Report

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Defenses to Stream Against with Confidence

A football player is only as good as his matchup. For players on the fringes of fantasy rosters, that proves to be true more often than not. Take Blake Bortles, who has an average of 25.82 points per game (standard, four-point per passing touchdown) against weak pass defenses, such as the Chiefs, Patriots, and Jets. […]

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 6

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

DeVante Parker Limited In Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Parker, the subject of trade rumors of late, was limited in practice last week but did not play. He has a better chance of returning in Week 6 in a tough matchup against the Bears. Parker has played in just one game […]

Ryan Tannehill Should Be Avoided In Week 6

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill should be avoided in leagues that start just one quarterback in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Simply put, the Dolphins offensive is 30th in the league in yards per game and the Bears defense is 2nd in the league in yards allowed per game. That's a clear-cut recipe for […]
