Finding Tight End Breakouts And Busts – Week 3 Edition

Here’s the thing, when it comes to tight ends ranked outside the top-six, there are going to be a lot of mistakes. The position is extremely volatile and even the best options are prone to some extremely big clunkers. Their roles can change significantly week-to-week. Very few guys have locked-in roles like Darren Waller and […]

Trade Them in Dynasty Before It's Too Late

This time, we'll do the opposite and examine a few players to consider moving on from before the rug is pulled from underneath you and […]

Nick Folk Remains On Streaming Radar

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk has made a team-record 33 consecutive field-goal attempts. He was brought in to replace kicker Quinn Nordin (abdominal), who has been placed on the Injured Reserve. They recently signed Folk, which means he'll likely be the kicker going forward. He has been reliable through the first two weeks, so […]

Jonnu Smith Doesn't Have Much Upside Versus Saints

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith has yet to surpass 42 yards in each of the first two games this season. Both Smith and Hunter Henry were expected to be big targets in the red zone. However, neither player has a touchdown through two games. It's not going to get easier in Week 3 […]

Hunter Henry Unlikely To Impress In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was expected to be an impactful weapon in this offense. Thus far, Henry has not exceeded three receptions or surpassed 45 yards in a single game. He has hauled in five of his seven targets, but hasn't been able to do much with them. That's unlikely going to […]

Jakobi Meyers A Borderline WR3 Versus Saints

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers appears to be one of rookie quarterback Mac Jones' favorite targets. Last week, Meyers was tied with running back James White for the team lead in targets with six. It's assumed that the Patriots will continue throwing his way against a tough running defense in the New Orleans Saints […]

Nelson Agholor Falls Into WR4 Range

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor made a splash during his team debut in the season opener. However, he posted a dud in his second game and is in line for another tough game. The New Orleans Saints defense is fairly average when it comes to containing the pass. However, the bigger issue for […]

Damien Harris Remains Limited On Thursday

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (finger) remained limited during Thursday's practice. That is two practice sessions in a row that Harris has been limited. Despite that, it sounds like this injury is minor and he'll be able to suit up versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. A defense that allowed the […]

Early-Season Fantasy Realities and Illusions: The Engel Eye

With just two weeks completed in the 2021 fantasy football season, we are still getting a feel for some emerging player trends.

Which Rookie QB Will Be Best in Fantasy? Head of the Class

We all know the names. From Trevor Lawrence to Mac Jones, five of the first 15 picks in the 2021 NFL draft were at the quarterback position. The big difference is the situations in which each player was drafted. Were they drafted to the worst team in the league (Jacksonville)? Or were they taken by […]

James White On The Flex Radar For Week 3

New England Patriots running back James White has been a reliable PPR option through the first two games of the season. He has at least six catches for 45 yards in each game thus far. The hope is that he'll continue to stay involved, especially with Damien Harris (hand) being limited in practice. The problem […]

Mac Jones A Low-End QB2 Versus Saints

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has put together a fairly slow start to begin his NFL career. He has one passing touchdown and didn't surpass 200 yards against a horrendous Jets secondary in Week 2. His chances of throwing a touchdown won't get easier against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Last season, […]

James White (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I won't stop preaching the James White Word any time soon, but the fact that this man was the leading scorer of the Patriots in Week 3 and the third-best fantasy player of the team in Week 1 tells you all […]

Damien Harris Limited To Start The Week

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (finger) is on the injury report to begin the week and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. It's unclear when Harris injured his finger, but it doesn't look like it should keep him out for a Week 3 date with the New Orleans Saints. Harris […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 2 was ugly in the early slate with low-scoring games and QB injuries across the board.
