Damien Harris, Donte Moncrief Will Miss Sunday’s Game

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) and wide receiver Donte Moncrief (thigh) have both been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Miami. The New England backfield continues to take its brunt of injury woes with Sony Michel now in line to lead the group against a stout Dolphins Defense in Week 15. Moncrief's […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 15

Dolphins running back and wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. had the best game of his career last week. After being used sparingly for much of the season, his role in the offense has steadily increased over the last three weeks, culminating in a seven-reception, 82-yard performance last week against the Chiefs. The rookie from Kentucky […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 15 (12/20/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

The beginning of Week 14 was a positive one, and then things went downhill quick...in both football and in life. Had a few family emergencies over the last 5-7 days and that's taken a toll on my mental state as 2020 seems to be getting worse before it gets better but I'll leave it at […]

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward your primary goal of securing league championships. As many of you prepare for your Week 15 matchups, an expanding assortment of tools is available that can provide you with an extensive level of knowledge regarding this critical position. Those results are contained in this weekly statistical breakdown of […]

Damiere Byrd Has Low-End PPR Appeal

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has surprisingly seen 67 targets this season heading into the Week 15 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. He wasn't expected to be a huge part of the offense coming into the season, but has performed well when called upon. Sadly, Byrd is not the most appealing fantasy option […]

N'Keal Harry A Risky Option In Week 15

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry has not put up the sophomore campaign that many fantasy managers were hopeful he would coming into the season. Last week, Harry hauled in three of his four targets for 49 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Those 49 yards were the most that Harry […]

Thursday Night Football Starts & Sits: Chargers vs Raiders

Week 15 starts with an absolute fantasy barn burner. It’s hard to imagine a better matchup to start (or continue) the fantasy playoffs. I hope you all had successful weeks last week and hopefully avoided facing off against the monster games of Derrick Henry and Miles Sanders. Last week I was able to go two-for-two […]

Redrafting the 2020 Fantasy Football Season

2020. Man, what a year. We had protests, fires, a global pandemic that shut down everything, and freaking murder hornets. By the way, what happened to them? We do still have a few weeks left in the year, so are they to be the grand finale? Not all was doom and gloom, though, and there […]

NextGen Stats - Running Back Breakdowns and Takeaways

Things finally got serious. If you're here, it's only because 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 smallest […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 14

This series continues into its fourteenth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 14, we saw performances such as the Los Angeles Rams wide receivers combining for 71 receiving yards, Patrick Mahomes throwing for 393 passing yards, or the […]

Julian Edelman Returns To Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. It's a sign that the 34-year-old could return to action in Week 15 against the Dolphins after being out since Week 7 due to a knee injury and a positive COVID-19 test. Edelman would be a risky flex option for […]

Jakobi Meyers Has WR4 Appeal

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has cooled down since his hot mid-season performances. Although, Meyers still has been able to hold fantasy value most weeks despite not being a focal point anymore. He's heading into a matchup against the Miami Dolphins who have been average against the pass game this season. Meyers has […]

Sony Michel Avoidable Versus Dolphins

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel has not looked the same since returning from injury two weeks ago. Damien Harris has run away with the lead back job, so Michel already has to deal with limited snaps in the backfield. Sadly, he hasn't been able to make the most of them and is a […]

James White A Shaky PPR Choice For Week 15

New England Patriots running back James White has not been able to do much damage over the last few games. However, White is the primary receiving back on this team, so there should be plenty of chances for him. Sadly, he doesn't have great upside heading into a matchup with the Miami Dolphins in Week […]

Damien Harris Could Be Low-End Flex Option

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has seemingly run away with the lead-back role for this offense. Harris has seen 10 or more carries in eight straight games heading into the Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. He should have decent value against the Dolphins, who are average in terms of stopping the […]

Cam Newton A Risky Option Versus Dolphins

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has been a frustrating player to own in fantasy leagues this season. He looks good one week and then is absolutely horrendous the following game. Newton is coming off an awful Week 14 performance and it's unlikely going to get better against the Miami Dolphins. A defense that has […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 15

The fantasy playoffs are in full swing, so you know what that means: there's no need at this point to pick anyone up off waivers who can't tangibly help you in the short term. We're past the speculative additions part of the season. This means that this week's waiver column would be a little shorter […]

The Cut List (Week 15) - Time to Let Go?

I don't know if there is a more frustrating aspect of fantasy football than the double-bladed sword we refer to as "patience." One of those blades will mockingly wound you in grand fashion after you've given up on a player too early. The other will repeatedly lacerate you over time for believing in a player […]

Cam Newton Still The Guy For Week 15

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has struggled as a passer this year, and he went just 9-for-16 for 119 yards with an interception and four sacks taken in last Thursday's loss to the Rams. Jarrett Stidham took over late in that game and went 5-for-7 for 27 yards with two sacks in three drives. […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 15 Lightning Round

We're through most of Week 14 and that means some of you have playoffs approaching and others are knee-deep in the first round. We've pushed through COVID-19 weirdness, key injuries, and incredible performances to this far and we're not stopping now. Let's keep on storming through the playoffs with the waiver wire lightning round heading into […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 14

The Week 13 wide receiver matchup article was not the greatest as none of the recommended receivers even cracked the top-25. Cooper Kupp finished as WR-29 with eight catches for 73 yards and Allen Robinson had six catches for 75 yards but the Bears controlled the game for the most part so they ran the ball a ton. Brandin Cooks missed […]
