Damien Harris Rushes For 71 Yards In Win

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (chest) was able to get it done on the ground before exiting early against the New York Jets in Week 9. Harris rushed 14 times for 71 yards before leaving this game in the second half and not returning. The Patriots are hopeful that Sony Michel (quad) will […]

Cam Newton Scores Two Rushing Touchdowns

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was able to somewhat rebound against the New York Jets in Week 9. He completed 27 of 35 passing attempts for 274 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. It wasn't a great statistical outing by Newton passing the ball, but he was able to salvage his fantasy value […]

Damien Harris Leaves Game After Hard Hit

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (chest) took a nasty hit to his chest on Monday night late in the fourth quarter and had to leave the game. With time running out in the game, it's highly unlikely that Harris will return to this contest, but he's listed as questionable. After the hit, Harris […]

Nick Folk Not 100 Percent For Monday’s Outing

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (back) is warming up (and active) ahead of Monday's game versus the Jets, but he may not be completely available as he deals with back pain. In his stead, the team has tasked punter Jake Bailey with kicking during warm-ups, seemingly as a backup plan should Folk not be […]

N'Keal Harry Ruled Out For Monday’s Contest

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (concussion) has not been cleared to return for Monday's game against the Jets, marking his second consecutive contest on the sidelines. With Julian Edelman (knee) also out of the mix, Jakobi Meyers and Damiere Byrd figure to continue seeing the vast majority of reps and targets at WR […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Jets vs Patriots

After several fun and exciting Monday night matchups, we have gotten into the unfortunate part of the season. The Tampa Bay and Giants matchup seemed rough… but then the Patriots and Jets game entered the picture and I feel like none of us will be the same. If you are starting more than one of […]

Monday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Patriots vs. Jets

Monday Night Football doesn't feature two heavyweights this week, unfortunately, as the 0-8 Jets play host to the 2-5 Patriots. However, that doesn't mean we can't gamble on it and I know you got else better to do on Monday night than to watch two bad teams battle it out in an AFC East grudge […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 9

The recommendations from the Week 8 wide receiver matchup article were fairly productive, featuring Corey Davis, Brandon Aiyuk, Cooper Kupp and Tyler Boyd who all finished inside the top-15. On the negative side, Marquise Brown was only targeted twice, A.J. Green underwhelmed and Justin Jefferson couldn't get it done in windy conditions which limited the […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

It finally happened. Underdogs finally came through with some outright upsets in Week 8. We've had some small-ish upsets here and there but not many touchdown underdogs winning in the same week. Underdogs went 10-4 against the spread with seven outright upsets. The biggest was the Bengals beating the Titans as seven-point underdogs. Another one […]

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 was the toughest of the year so far with only four correct top-10 predictions after Tampa Bay notched seven points against the Giants on Monday night. That puts me at 40%, which is the worst finish of the season. Weather played a factor, with winds whipping over 20 MPH in a few games […]

Damiere Byrd A Possible Deep League Option

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has seen his targets decrease over the last few games. He hauled in three of his four targets for 39 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. Those numbers were without both of the Pats two top receivers, so not exactly a promising showing […]

Jakobi Meyers A Sneaky Option In Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is coming off his best game of the season against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. However, the Pats offense was missing their two top receivers, which is why Meyers saw ten targets. Julian Edelman (knee) is unlikely going to be suiting up anytime soon, which means Meyers […]

N'Keal Harry Has Favorable Upside Versus Jets

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (head) is expected to return after sitting out the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He sat out last game due to a concussion, but should play able to suit up against the New York Jets in Week 9. Julian Edelman (knee) is going to be sidelined […]

Rex Burkhead A Desperation Deep League Option

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead put together one huge week and has been a ghost on offense since then. The Pats have a three-back committee, so Burkhead often times gets lost in the shuffle. The good news is, Burkhead does have a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 9. This […]

James White An Unreliable Option Right Now

New England Patriots running back James White appeared to have a significant role in this offense a few weeks ago. However, he has been a forgotten man over the last few weeks. White is basically used exclusively as a receiving back, but hasn't seen the ball thrown his way lately. White does have a favorable […]

Damien Harris Should Run All Over Jets

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) is primed for a big game against the New York Jets in Week 9. This Jets Defense has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to running backs coming into this game. Harris was dealing with an ankle issue last week, but played through it. He rushed 16 times […]

Cam Newton Should Bounce Back Versus Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has cooled down after his hot start to kick off the 2020 season. Newton has only thrown over 200 yards once this entire season. Luckily, Newton has been able to salvage his fantasy value by gaining yards with his legs. Although, it hasn't been enough to put him in […]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - Red Zone Targets (TE)

Week 9 Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Fliers

Week 9 should be fine for fantasy footballers --- as long as their players are not on bye or listed as “questionable.” Fantasy football managers will be without their Bengals, Browns, Rams and Eagles this week, so there will be plenty of talent on fantasy benches. This bye week did not sneak up on fantasy […]

N'Keal Harry Remains Non-Participant For Thursday’s Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (concussion) will have an extra day to try and clear the league's concussion protocol when he takes on the Jets on Monday, but he's not trending in the right direction after a missed practice Thursday. Harry was held out of last week's game due to the ailment, leaving […]
