We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 4 Outliers
Through the first four weeks of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better picture of the fantasy landscape as offensive roles continue to solidify. However, as we start to figure out who the go-to-guys are on each team, so are opposing defensive coordinators. Because of this, from week to week, certain studs […]
The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 5)
This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]
Benjamin Watson (TE, NE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: So, Benjamin Watson. After retiring this past offseason, Watson decided to unretire and join the Patriots. He was then promptly hit with a four-game PED suspension. That suspension is over. Tom Brady has a tight end now. This could be good. Watson […]
Patriots Getting Benjamin Watson Back
New England Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson is returning this week after his four-game suspension to begin the year. It's another weapon for quarterback Tom Brady to utilize heading into Week 5 against the Redskins. The 38-year-old Watson had 35 catches for 400 yards and two scores in a full season with the Saints in […]
Julian Edelman Has 30 Yards Sunday
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman made four catches for 30 yards in a win over the Bills Sunday. Edelman was questionable with a chest injury coming into the game and couldn't do much with his seven targets. It was a tough afternoon all around for the Patriots offense but with Tom Brady at […]
Josh Gordon Has 46 Yards Sunday
New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon made three catches for 46 yards in a win vs Buffalo Sunday. The Patriots offense struggled to get the ball downfield to Gordon as the strong Bills pass rush made Brady get the ball out of his hands quickly to running back James White, often while Gordon was […]
Patriots Defense Dominates Bills
The New England Patriots Defense allowed their first touchdown of the season, but it didn't matter to fantasy owners as the unit dominated again on Sunday in Buffalo. The Patriots were led on defense by Kyle Van Noy, who logged two of the team's five sacks and forced two fumbles. The Patriots also had four […]
Sony Michel Logs 63 Yards In Buffalo
New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 17 times for 63 scoreless yards in a win at Buffalo. Michel didn't put up the numbers fantasy owners expect, but it was a good sign to see the second-year pro carry get 17 carries while no one else on New England had more than […]
Rex Burkhead Touches Ball Once In Buffalo
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead made one catch for seven yards and didn't have a carry in a win at the Bills. Burkhead was a game-time decision with a foot injury, but was deemed healthy enough to play. Despite being in uniform, Burkhead was seldom used as the Patriots offense struggled to move […]
James White Makes Eight Catches Sunday
New England Patriots running back James White caught eight of 10 targets for 57 yards in a win over the Bills Sunday. White added one carry for one yard as his primary role continues to be catching the ball out of the backfield. White's 10 targets were the most on the team as quarterback Tom […]
Tom Brady Silenced In Buffalo
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 18 of 39 passes for only 150 yards in a win at Buffalo Sunday. Brady threw his first interception of the season while failing to throw a touchdown for the first time this year after throwing at least two in each of the first three weeks. Brady had […]
Rex Burkhead Active Against Bills
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is active for Week 4 against the Bills. Burkhead has been the team's most productive running back through three weeks, although part of that has to do with James White missing the game last weekend for personal reasons. Still, Burkhead has RB3/flex appeal in PPR leagues despite […]
Julian Edelman Will Play Against Bills
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) will play against the Bills in Week 4, according to a source. However, his snap count will be determined by how he feels, and he could be on the field less than he normally is. Going up against Buffalo's stingy pass defense, it makes Edelman a risky […]

Week 4 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding
As you've probably figured out already, fantasy football is a roller coaster ride. It's give and take. It's one step forward, two steps backwards most of the time. No game in Week 3 encapsulates this more than Bucs-Giants. Tampa's stud wideout Mike Evans had six catches for 89 scoreless yards through two weeks. Then he […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids
Through three weeks of the season, it sure looks like we'll see a Patriots-Chiefs AFC Championship rematch. Both of those teams look unstoppable. My one qualm with New England is they've yet to face a formidable opponent. The combined record of New England's opponents is 0-9. Now they get a real test on the road […]
Julian Edelman Expected To Play Sunday
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) is making the trip to Buffalo and is expected to play in Week 4 against the Bills. Edelman was limited in practice all week, but the question remains how effective he can be at less than 100 percent against a very strong defense on the road. Edelman's […]

Rex Burkhead's Iffy Status Hurts Week 4 Value
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) will head into Week 4 questionable to play against the Bills. Burkhead is off to solid start, posting 222 yards from scrimmage through the first three games. It's a shame that an injury could derail his strong start as the team prepares to face a Bills Defense […]
Phillip Dorsett Has Low-Level PPR Value Against Bills
New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett could be in line for extra snaps this week but will have a tough matchup against an improved Bills Defense. Dorsett has posted 187 yards with three touchdowns through the first three games. He could see even more time if teammate Julian Edelman is restricted with a chest […]
Patriots Defense Should Thrive Against Bills
The New England Patriots Defense has been nothing short of fantastic through the first three games. The unit still has not allowed an offensive touchdown, the only two touchdowns allowed coming from a special teams turnover and a pick-six thrown by backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham. The Bills offense may be full of young talent but […]
Hard To Trust Sony Michel In Week 4
New England Patriots running back Sony Michel is looking to bounce back heading into Week 4 after racking up only 11 yards on nine carries last week against the Jets. Michel now has two fantasy dud performances this season and has lost carries to teammate Rex Burkhead. Even with Burkhead possibly sidelined this week, Michel […]
Week 4 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis
Nothing like saving the worst game of the week for last. In another forgettable matchup of winless teams, the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Pittsburgh to take on the almost as bad Steelers and Mason Rudolph. If I were ESPN at this point, I would be asking for a refund from the NFL. Or at least a […]
James White Could Be X-Factor For Patriots In Week 4
New England Patriots running back James White could emerge as an integral offensive threat this Sunday against the Bills. After a career season, it has been a quiet start for the veteran runner. But with Rex Burkhead nursing a foot injury, Sony Michel's ineffectiveness and facing a talented Bills Defense could turn things in White's […]
Josh Gordon Should See Plenty Of Targets Against Bills
New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon's bumpy start to the season could get a boost when the team plays the 3-0 Bills on Sunday. The Bills Defense is allowing the fifth fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers in this first month of the season, but the Patriots have a knack for bucking trends. New […]
