Nick Folk Still On The Injury Report

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Folk has been on the injury report more often than not this year with a left knee injury, but he hasn't missed any games and has been the most reliable kicker for fantasy in 2021. The matchup against the Buffalo Bills this […]

Damien Harris, Brandon Bolden Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots running backs Damien Harris (hamstring) and Brandon Bolden (knee) were both listed as limited at Wednesday's practice. Harris suffered a hamstring injury in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills and missed the Week 15 game last Saturday. It's a good sign that he's practicing to begin the week, though, so he could […]

Nelson Agholor Doesn't Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) did not get on the practice field on Wednesday as he deals with a concussion suffered in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. Receiver N'Keal Harry (hip) was listed as a limited participant. Working behind Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne all year, Agholor has been an inconsistent […]

No Practice For Rhamondre Stevenson

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Stevenson was set up to have a big game last Saturday with Damien Harris (hamstring) inactive, but he disappointed with only 10 carries for 36 yards and one catch for four yards against a strong Indianapolis Colts defense. Stevenson could […]

Offensive Outliers From Week 15 - Coaching Matters

We now enter the 15th week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 16: Carson Wentz, Jimmy Garoppolo, Justin Fields, Drew Lock

Week 15 will go down as a fantasy football bloodbath in the first week of the playoffs. Just two games finished with a game total above 60. Only five teams were able to surpass 30 points on offense.

Mac Jones (QB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The weather was so ridiculous in Buffalo two weeks ago (W13) that all Mac Jones did was attempt three passes (!), complete two of them (!!) for 19 yards (!!!), and finish with a total of minus-0.5 FP as he fumbled the rock […]

Davis Mills (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Shout out Davis Mills because he is definitively the second-best quarterback of the 2021 draft class only behind the Patriots' Mac Jones. Cold world, folks, but it is what it is. Mills got his starting gig because of a large cumulus of circumstances, but […]

Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're still alive in whatever fantasy league you play at, and if you're still fighting for the championship, and most of all if you're looking into adding someone from the waiver wire, you better know it's slim picks these days around these […]

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

Things finally got serious. If you're here, it's only because of one of two reasons: 1) you have followed the series all along and want to keep reading just so you don't feel bad with yourself, or 2) you won your first round of the fantasy playoffs and are still on the lookout for the […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

[…]

Kendrick Bourne Lands On COVID-19 List

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, throwing his status for Week 16 vs. Buffalo in flux. Bourne was joined on the list by linebackers Harvey Langi, Cameron McGrone and Ronnie Perkins. The 26-year-old has enjoyed a solid season out wide for New England, having hauled in 45 […]

Is Miles Sanders Playing Tonight? Is Jordan Howard Worth Picking Up?

It's been a tough season for Miles Sanders and fantasy managers who drafted him. It's really been a tale of two seasons for the Eagles' rushing game. In the first seven weeks of the season, they averaged 116 rushing yards per game. From Weeks 8–14, that average shot up to 211 yards per game. Since […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 15

The wide receiver matchups article from Week 14 did not play out very well other than Ja'Marr Chase (WR4) who exploded for two touchdowns. Many of the high-end receivers underwhelmed in great spots. CeeDee Lamb (WR35) was targeted 10 times, but Dak Prescott narrowly missed him on a few balls which would have changed Lamb's […]

Week 15 Red Zone Risers and Fallers

I was thinking, why are the red zone risers and fallers so important, and then I came across this article from Sharp Football Analysis, and suddenly it all made sense. "In the past decade, 74.1% of all offensive touchdowns have come from the red zone." And if you come across defenses that are stingy in […]

N'Keal Harry Gets Involved Against Colts

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry has able to finally make an impact on the field this season. He hauled in two of his five targets for 52 yards in the Week 15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Harry came into this contest with 10 total targets on the season. Possibly, Harry sees a […]

Hunter Henry Scores Twice In Week 15

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry put together a strong performance against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. He hauled in six of his eight targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Both the receptions and targets tied a season high for Henry. Also, the yardage sets a new season high […]

Kendrick Bourne Snags All Three Receptions

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne did what he could with his chances during the Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Jakobi Meyers Targeted 12 Times In Loss

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers saw a high volume of targets during the Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Sadly, he wasn't able to do much damage in this one. Meyers hauled in six of his 12 targets for 44 yards in the loss. Fantasy managers in PPR formats will take this […]

Brandon Bolden Hauls In Three Receptions

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden wasn't able to do much damage on the ground during the Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. He rushed four times for three yards during the Saturday night loss. However, Bolden somewhat salvaged his value with three receptions for 41 yards through the air. At this point, […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Quiet In Loss To Colts

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was the lead back for the Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Normally, Damien Harris (hamstring) takes care of the early down work, but was unavailable for this matchup. That being said, Stevenson received the nod, but struggled to do much on the ground. Stevenson rushed 10 […]

Mac Jones Throws For Nearly 300 Yards

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones didn't have an ideal performance against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. The rookie quarterback completed 26-of-45 passing attempts for 299 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss. Both of his passing touchdowns came in the fourth quarter when the Patriots were already trailing 20-3. He […]
