Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10
San Francisco stands alone as the sole remaining undefeated team in the NFL after a close battle in the desert. The 49ers win streak was almost interrupted by an NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals squad in Week 9, with the difference between the two teams being a field goal. Newly-acquired Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake […]
Adam Thielen Not Practicing Wednesday
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday. Thielen isn't dealing with a long-term injury -- he could return as soon as Week 11 -- but he's not expected to play on Sunday night against the Cowboys after tweaking his hammy early in the Week 9 loss to the Chiefs. With […]
Rushing Leaderboards At Midseason - NFL Next Gen Stats
I guess the talk will never change. "Running backs don't matter." Sure. The thing is, Christian McCaffrey is still up there at the top of the fantasy points per game leaderboard. And do you know the position CMC is slotted at? The next non-quarterback on that list is Dalvin Cook, who happens to be another […]
Adam Thielen's Injury Not A Long-Term Concern
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen's (hamstring) injury is not considered a "long-term" ailment, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. Zimmer said that Thielen was "not rushed back too soon" when he returned in Week 9, only to feel his hamstring grab on the first series of the game. Fantasy owners need to prepare to […]
Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Keenan Allen, Damien Williams, Mohamed Sanu
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. […]
Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 10
The pressure is on, folks. With just four games left in the regular fantasy football season, now is the time to secure high-upside handcuffs and high-floor fill-ins for those players injured or on bye. Each week, the waiver wire scrap heap appears to get smaller and smaller, but that just means you have to squint […]
Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
Like it or not, you are probably going to have to dip your toe into the waiver wire this week because there are six teams on bye. Some shouldn't affect your roster in any way (Broncos, Redskins) while others could force you to stream at one or more positions (Texans, Patriots). There is always help […]
Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10
The regular season continues to advance at a relentless pace as we have now entered planning for Week 10. Some of you are benefitting from favorable production from your running backs, which has allowed you to focus on other areas of your rosters. But many of you have been contending with unwanted developments at this […]
Week 10 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers
Week 10 is not a week for faint-of-heart fantasy football players. A half-dozen teams are on bye this week. In fact, it is the only week during the NFL regular season that six squads are off, and it comes when the fantasy season is in its most crucial stage. Fantasy players will have to live […]
Adam Thielen Unlikely To Play In Week 10
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen's (hamstring) strained hamstring is no worse after he aggravated it in Week 9 against the Chiefs, but sources say he's unlikely to play in Week 10 on Sunday night against the Cowboys. The Vikings bye is two weeks away and they often tend to err on the side of […]
Week 9 Surprises? We Must Overreact
In Week 9 several high-end players had exploitable matchups and came through in a big way. Mike Evans, Tyler Lockett, and D.K. Metcalf were all expected to have big games, and all three finished in the top three in PPR scoring. At running back, David Montgomery scored two touchdowns as he continues to emerge as […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round
We're onto double digits, as Week 10 approaches and with it, a whopping six teams hitting their bye. The Broncos, Eagles, Jaguars, Patriots, Redskins and Texans are kicking their feet up, meaning nearly all of you will need some replacement parts. To help you craft the best plan possible, here is the waiver wire lightning […]
Olabisi Johnson (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Olabisi Johnson came into the season as an unknown in Minnesota, but has garnered some attention in recent weeks with his production on the field. Given the recent hamstring injury to Adam Thielen and the subsequent re-aggravation of that hamstring on Sunday, […]
Ryan Tannehill (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: At the beginning of the season, not many people would have thought Ryan Tannehill could provide fantasy value in 2019, but here we are heading into Week 10 where he is worth an add in 14-team leagues. Tannehill was named the starter […]
Vikings Not Speculating On Adam Thielen's Return
Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer won't speculate on when wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) will return. "Whenever the doctor says he's ready to play, he's ready," Zimmer said. Thielen was active in Week 9 against the Chiefs but was targeted just once before aggravating his hamstring injury and sitting out the rest of the […]
Kyle Rudolph Catches Second Touchdown Of Season
Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught three of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Week 9's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Rudolph hooked up with quarterback Kirk Cousins on a three-yard score late in the third quarter for his second touchdown of the year. Though Rudolph has seen an uptick […]
Laquon Treadwell Leads Vikings Receivers In Loss
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell caught three of five targets for 58 yards in a tough 26-23 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. He surprisingly led the team in receiving yardage as Adam Thielen (hamstring) left the game in the first quarter. Thielen could be out in Week 10, but Treadwell […]
Stefon Diggs Shut Down In Week 9
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught one of four targets for just four yards in a Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He also had one carry for 12 yards in what was a really tough effort after three straight games with at least seven catches and 147 receiving yards. Adam Thielen […]
Dalvin Cook Totals 116 Yards In Week 9 Loss
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried 21 times for 71 yards in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also caught 4-of-7 targets for 45 yards in what was a somewhat disappointing effort against a bottom-tier run defense. Sadly, third-stringer Ameer Abdullah stole a red-zone touchdown in the third quarter. Cook still had […]
Olabisi Johnson Has Two Catches And A Score
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson caught one of two targets for a four-yard touchdown in Week 9's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was Johnson's second touchdown of the season, but the lack of target share in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) paints a less-than-rosy picture for his prospects moving forward. Johnson […]
Kirk Cousins Tallies 220 Yards and Three Touchdowns In Loss
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 19 of 38 passing attempts for 220 yards and three touchdowns in Week 9's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Cousins threw touchdowns to Olabisi Johnson, Ameer Abdullah and Kyle Rudolph but was inaccurate and flustered by the Chiefs pass rush all afternoon. The Chiefs were able to completely shut […]
Adam Thielen Is Questionable To Return Against Chiefs
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) has re-aggravated his injury and is questionable to return in Week 9's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Thielen only lasted a few possessions before being pulled and didn't catch his only target on a bad throw from Kirk Cousins. It looks like Thielen's day is finished - […]

Wide Receiver / Cornerback Matchups To Target in Week 9
In Week 8, the only unfamiliar faces to crack the top 15 at the wide receiver position were Chris Conley and Hunter Renfrow. Conley's big day came because Dede Westbrook was in and out of the game as he struggled with a shoulder injury, resulting in more targets heading Conley's way. Renfrow was fantasy-relevant because he […]
