Stop Holding Us Back! Underutilized RBs

Every season there are some players we expect to break out. Some of them don’t for one simple reason - the team doesn’t play them over inferior players. Whether it be due to contract numbers or coach’s preference, teams stick with a player long after it is obvious someone else is better. In years past, […]

Blake Bortles Should Be Your Starting Quarterback

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was seen as a huge bust through the first three and a half years of his career.

Cordarrelle Patterson Scores Second Touchdown

New England Patriots wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson caught two passes for 11 yards, but one of those receptions turned into his second touchdown of the season in Week 5. Patterson is a pure athlete and can be dangerous once the ball is in his hands. But getting him that football is another story as Patterson […]

Phillip Dorsett Stays Quiet In Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett caught only three passes for 25 yards in the Patriots 38-24 win over the Colts. Dorsett's decrease in production isn't much of a surprise with the return of Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon making strides in the offense. Dorsett did an admirable job filling in during the first […]

Chris Hogan Registers 34 Receiving Yards In Week 5

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan caught three passes for 34 yards in the Patriots win over the Colts in Week 5. Hogan made an excellent catch in the game to pick up a first down but otherwise wasn't heavily involved in the offense. Hogan's slow start to the season has him slipping further […]

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski caught six passes for 75 yards in the Patriots 38-24 win over the Colts. Gronk was targeted seven times in the game as quarterback Tom Brady picked his spots to hit the tight end for some big-time first downs. It is still early in the season but the […]

Josh Gordon Brings In Deep Ball For Touchdown

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon caught two passes for 50 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown catch, in the Patriots 38-24 win over the Colts. Quarterback Tom Brady threw up a 50/50 ball in the fourth quarter and the athletic Gordon beat two defenders to come down with a fantastic catch. Gordon's snap count […]

Julian Edelman Returns With Seven Receptions

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman caught seven passes for 57 yards in the Patriots triumph over the Colts 38-24. In his first game back from a four-game suspension, Edelman got right in the mix with a catch on the first offensive play of the game. The veteran did have one drop that could […]

James White Delivers Again With 77 Yards, One Touchdown

New England Patriots running back James White caught a team-high 10 passes for 77 yards with one touchdown in the Patriots victory over the Colts. On a night when rookie running back Sony Michel had a breakout performance, White continued to stay active in the Patriots passing game. The veteran has difficulty making defenders miss […]

Sony Michel Totals 100 Yards, One Touchdown In Week 5

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 18 times for 98 yards and added a rushing touchdown in the Patriots 38-24 win over the Colts. Michel added one catch for 12 yards in an impressive performance. The rookie ran hard and found some huge holes for several nice runs. Michel sealed the […]

Tom Brady Tosses Three Touchdowns In Win

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady posted four total touchdowns, including his 500th career touchdown pass, in the Patriots 38-24 win over the Colts. Brady completed 34 of 44 yards for 341 yards as he threw touchdowns to three different receivers and added a 1-yard punch-in for a rushing score. Brady carved through the Colts […]

Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon Playing Thursday Night

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) are both active on Thursday night against the Colts. Gronk's ankle injury was never deemed serious, but he'll likely be at less than 100 percent against Indy. As long as he's on the field, he's a must-start for fantasy owners. Gordon […]

Julian Edelman Trained With Celtics

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, who will return on Thursday night from his four-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, spent time training with the Boston Celtics during his time away from the team, according to sources.

What To Do With Your San Francisco 49ers in Fantasy?

The season-ending injury to Jimmy Garoppolo triggered a somber mood for the San Francisco 49ers season, especially from a fantasy perspective. C.J. Beathard is by no means a top-32 starting quarterback in the NFL, but he does have some familiarity with this offense in his second year. Still, the questions remain. Who can you realistically trust on […]

Selling False RB2s - Why It's OK To Bail Out Now

We seem to end up doing this same song and dance every year with running backs. Whether it's someone like a Bilal Powell or Tarik Cohen popping early only to fizzle out, or general disappointments like Jay Ajayi and Adrian Peterson circa 2017, it usually takes a bit of digging to figure out. Here we'll […]

Rob Gronkowski Expected To Play

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Colts, is expected to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday and are questionable for Thursday night against the Colts.
