In Aaron Rodgers We Trust?

As fantasy playoff season comes around, the saying goes, "Start your studs." Another popular phrase: "Play the guys who got you there."

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 16

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season.

Philly Special - Can Eagles Help You Win a Championship?

Everyone knows how it went down for the Philadelphia Eagles in their improbable run to a Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots last year.

Week 16 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

For much of the season, we've seen kickers rarely used on field goal duty, but, in the last couple of weeks, we have seen a large amount of change in that area. Defenses are cashing in on the bad weather to slow opposing offenses down, and that should continue in Week 16. The second round […]

Sony Michel Grinds Out 59 Rushing Yard In Loss

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 13 times for 59 yards in the Patriots 17-10 loss to the Steelers. Michel averaged 4.5 yards per carry but his snap-count went down with James White and Rex Burkhead also sharing time in the backfield. The rookie running back put together some solid runs […]

James White Held In Check By Steelers

New England Patriots running back James White totaled only 37 yards from scrimmage in the Patriots loss to the Steelers in Week 15. White lost snaps to running back Rex Burkhead and the Steelers defense has been fantastic at stopping running backs in the passing game. Both of these factors led to another down performance […]

Rob Gronkowski Totals Only 21 Yards In Loss

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski caught only two passes for 21 yards in the team's 17-10 loss to the Steelers in Week 15. One week after playing his best game of the season, the Steelers did an admirable job of bottling up Gronk. He saw five targets in the game, especially on the […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan caught two passes for 68 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown, in the Patriots Week 15 loss to the Steelers.

Josh Gordon Disappears In Loss

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon caught only one pass for 19 yards in the team's Week 15 loss to the Steelers. Gordon was practically non-existent in the game and saw only two targets in a game where the Patriots struggled to move the ball in the air. Gordon had strung together some promising […]

Julian Edelman Leads Patriots With 90 Receiving Yards

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman recorded a team-high seven receptions for 90 yards in the Patriots 17-10 loss to the Steelers. Edelman enjoyed an active game as he saw 11 targets and came up with a huge 34-yard reception late to give the Patriots a chance to possibly tie the game in the […]

Tom Brady Comes Up Short In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots 17-10 loss to the Steelers. This mediocre fantasy performance for the future Hall of Famer can mostly be chalked up to missed opportunities. Brady threw a crucial interception in the red zone and […]

But, aren't. Conversely, the New Orleans Saints (11-2) have […]
