Week 3 Consistency Reports - All Positions

Assessing consistency after two weeks of the season is always tough but in a 16-game season we have already seen an eighth of it. Therefore, looking at how players have started the season is still useful. It may not be a predictor of long-term fantasy consistency but it does give us an impression of who […]

Time to Bench Alex Collins?

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins has struggled to get anything going on the ground so far this season. The question becomes what should fantasy owners do with a running back that is immensely talented, but has failed to live up to expectations? Coming into the season, Collins was ranked among the top-20 fantasy running […]

Stop The Slander! Thank the Fantasy Football Gods for Matthew Stafford

He is not a fantasy football QB1. His team lacks any type of identity or threat to the upper echelon of teams in the NFC. There are even talks of unseating him atop the Detroit Lions depth chart. You may be sullying his name as we speak. Stop The Slander! Thank the Fantasy Football Gods […]

Inside the Tent - Week 3 NFL Injury Insight

In Week 2, we unfortunately bore witness to some notable running back injuries including Dalvin Cook, Melvin Gordon, Joe Mixon, Jay Ajayi, and LeSean McCoy. On a more positive note, Aaron Rodgers was able to play thanks to a cumbersome knee brace and even threw a TD to his go-to receiver, Davante Adams. Now as we […]

Dalvin Cook, Everson Griffen Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) will not play in Week 3 against the Bills. It's a shame for Cook's fantasy owners, as he was facing a great matchup in the lowly Bills. His injury didn't appear too serious, so the Vikes are likely playing it safe with […]

Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 3

Week 2 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and what a wild ride it has been so far. Matt Breida leads the NFL in rushing, David Johnson is ranked outside of the top 25 in fantasy points at his position, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the number one overall fantasy player, Patrick Mahomes has […]

Dalvin Cook, Everson Griffen Sitting Out Friday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) were both not practicing on Friday in the period open to reporters. It's not a good sign after both players have missed practice all week. Cook's hamstring cramps seemed to be minor earlier in the week, but perhaps Minnesota holds him out […]

Tape Don't Lie - Breaking Down Keelan Cole's Week 2 Performance

Hey! Welcome back to "Tape Don't Lie," the weekly column where I look at the film and the analytics of a surprising performer from the previous week and try to come to conclusions about his value moving forward! Last week I looked at Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay, who in Week 2 became the first […]

NFL DFS Week 3: DraftKings Power Pivots

Hi fantasy football friends! Thanks for checking out Power Pivots, where we discuss some great alternative DraftKings options to players that we expect to carry high ownership. I hope you caught last week's article because our highlighted pivots were spot-on. While we fell a little short on our D/ST pick, every position player that we […]

Week 3 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! After another high-scoring slate of games in Week 2, you are probably looking forward to getting some lineups set for Week 3. NFL offenses have been on fire through the first two weeks of the season, especially passing offenses. This makes stacking a quarterback with his top passing game target a must […]

Kyle Rudolph Should Produce In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has had an inconsistent start to the season although he should be able to make his mark in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills. Rudolph is coming off of a seven reception, 72-yard performance in Week 2. The Bills have been touchdown prone through the air in the early […]

Stefon Diggs A Must-Start In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs should be ecstatic about facing the Buffalo Bills in Week 3. The Bills have already allowed six passing touchdowns through two weeks in 2018. Likewise, Diggs has already scored three times in the Vikings' first two games. His combination of top-end speed and precise route-running will give the Bills […]

Adam Thielen A Fantastic Week 3 Option

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen should continue his strong start to the season in Week 3. Thielen already has 233 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets in 2018. He should be able to torch a porous Buffalo Bills secondary that has given up the second-most passing touchdowns in the NFL. Thielen has become […]

Latavius Murray Has Increased Value For Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray is primed for a big role in Week 3 if Dalvin Cook (hamstring) remains below 100%. Cook is still questionable at this point, and may not even end up playing. Even if he does play, the Vikings will likely take it easy on their star sophomore. The offense should […]

Dalvin Cook Could Be Limited In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is currently questionable for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He will likely be used in a conservative manner even if he does play, which makes him a risky Week 3 option. The Bills are a fantastic fantasy matchup, as they have allowed six rushing TDs through two […]

Kirk Cousins A Top-10 QB Option In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is ready to eviscerate the lowly Buffalo Bills in Week 3. Cousins is averaging 335 yards and three touchdowns per game so far this season. The Bills secondary has already given up six passing TDs through two weeks, so Cousins and his murderers' row of offensive options should thrive at […]

Dalvin Cook, Everson Griffen Not Practicing

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) and defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. While Cook's hamstring cramps didn't seem to be a big issue leading into this week, it's now looking like he may be kept out in a very winnable game against the Bills […]

Everson Griffen Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Griffen had a career-high 13 sacks in 2017 and has a full sack through two weeks in 2018. It's unknown if he'll be in danger of missing Week 3 against the Bills, but if he does, it'll be good news for rookie quarterback […]

Dalvin Cook Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday and said he's taking it "day by day." Cook dealt with hamstring cramps in overtime in Week 2, but it's not believed to be something that will keep him out in Week 3 in a cushy matchup against the Bills. […]

Dalvin Cook Practicing Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is practicing on Wednesday. Cook came out of the game in overtime in Week 2 due to cramps. He should be fine for Week 3 against the lowly Bills and will be a strong RB1 play.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

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. […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 2 has wrapped up, and, while some kickers put up some great numbers, others kicked themselves out of a job. Through two weeks, we've seen multiple surprises at the top of the kicker scorers. Players like Chandler Catanzaro and Randy Bullock are making a name for themselves early this season. Heading into Week 3, […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]

Laquon Treadwell Experiences Highs And Lows In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell looked like he was going to turn in the best performance of his NFL career in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. Treadwell caught his first career receiving touchdown on his first target of the game, but everything fell apart after that. Treadwell only caught one of his […]

Latavius Murray Only Sees Four Carries In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray had 19 yards on four carries in a 29-29 tie against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Murray probably would have seen less carries had Dalvin Cook not left the game with a hamstring cramp in the fourth quarter. Regardless, Cook said himself that the injury is minor […]

Kyle Rudolph Bounces Back In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph grabbed seven of eight targets for 72 yards against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Rudolph was held to just 11 yards in Week 1, so this performance gives fantasy owners a bit more reassurance that Rudolph will remain a focal point of the Vikings offense going forward. […]

Dalvin Cook Remains Quiet Rushing The Ball

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had 38 yards on 10 carries against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Cook has not had a breakout running performance yet this season but remains a key part of the passing attack. Cook had three receptions for 52 yards out of the backfield, which was similar to […]
