Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9... what an absolute cluster. The Buffalo Bills lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 9–6. The Broncos went and punched the Cowboys in the mouth and the Cowboys didn't even bother to put up a fight. It was quite the week so it only made sense that after a week of championing Greg Joseph and […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 brought all sorts of mayhem in the form of underperforming studs and some wild upsets. We are fortunate when it's "just" that compared to injury chaos, but remember that we're still playing a game where bad breaks can topple you through no fault of your own. Whether you scored a win or took […]

Jonnu Smith Is Barely Involved Again

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) was unable to get through the Week 9 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. He exited in the fourth quarter and didn't return to the contest. Before that, Smith had one reception on two targets for four yards in the win. Fellow tight end Hunter Henry has been […]

Hunter Henry Catches TD Against Carolina

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was one of the few players to find the end zone during this Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Henry hauled in two of his three targets for 19 yards and one touchdown in the win. This marked Henry's fifth touchdown over the last six games. To […]

Kendrick Bourne Quiet In Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne wasn't able to make much of an impact for the second straight game. In Week 9, Bourne hauled in three of his four targets for 34 yards in the win over the Carolina Panthers. This marked the second game in a row that Bourne has finished with 40 […]

Jakobi Meyers Posts Dud Against Panthers

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers posted his worst performance of the season against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. He hauled in one of his four targets for eight yards in the win on Sunday. To be fair, it was a game where quarterback Mac Jones completed a total of 12 passes on […]

Brandon Bolden Makes An Impact In Week 9

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden has stepped up nicely over the last few weeks. In Week 9, Bolden rushed eight times for 54 yards in the win over the Carolina Panthers.

Rhamondre Stevenson Puts Together Quality Outing

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was surprisingly able to find success against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. The rookie running back rushed 10 times for 62 yards in the win. He also added two receptions for 44 yards through the air. Sadly, Stevenson did exit the game in the fourth quarter due […]

Damien Harris Keeps His Touchdown Streak Alive

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has been able to find the end zone quite often over the last few weeks. In fact, Harris came into the Week 9 contest with a touchdown in each of his last four games. He has able to keep that streak alive while rushing for 30 yards on […]

Mac Jones Survives Against Carolina

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones didn't have much success during the Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie quarterback completed 12-of-18 passing attempts for 139 yards and one touchdown with one interception in the win. He also lost a fumble, but somehow the Patriots managed to win the game. Jones continues to […]

Rhamondre Stevenson, Jonnu Smith Questionable

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (head) and tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are both questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers. Stevenson has spent much of the season being a healthy scratch, but saw the field this week, with 10 carries for 62 yards and two catches for 44 yards so […]

Jonnu Smith - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith has yet to surpass 200 receiving yards on the season through the first eight contests of the year. The Patriots haven't been able to get much production from Smith and that's unlikely to change. They'll head into a Week 9 matchup against a tough Carolina Panthers defense. A […]

Hunter Henry - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry saw his four-game touchdown streak come to an end against the Los Angeles Chargers last week. He finished with one reception on three targets for 33 yards in the win. At this point, it seems like Henry isn't going to be anything more than a touchdown-dependent option most […]

Kendrick Bourne - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has been able to make the most of his chances this season. Over the last two weeks, Bourne has four receptions for 35 yards or more in each contest. He is the third option on the depth chart, but remains involved in the passing attack every week. That […]

Nelson Agholor - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor has put together two fairly decent weeks after struggling through the first part of the season. Over the last two weeks, Agholor has 50 or more receiving yards in each contest. Although, that streak might come to an end against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. A defense […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has not scored a touchdown through the first eight games of the season. Despite that, Meyers has remained a fairly reliable PPR option in fantasy formats. He has seen 68 targets and remains heavily involved in the passing attack. That should remain the case against the Carolina Panthers […]

Rhamondre Stevenson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has seen more action over the last few games. He wasn't involved much to begin the season, but has seen his carries increase over the course of the last month or so. Sadly, the rookie running back hasn't been able to find much success at the professional level. […]
