Potential Fantasy Football Playoff Heroes From NFC Teams

How to Lose With Class in Fantasy Football

We have all seen it before. The person in your league who gives up halfway through the season. They act like a petulant five-year old who does not get their way, taking their ball and going home. There are many reasons why someone may choose to cash it in early. Injuries have ruined their team. […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

By this point in the season, your core team had better be set in stone because the waiver wire options keep getting thinner. It's still advisable to stash running backs whenever possible, as injuries continue to take their toll at the position. Some popular streamers like Brian Hill and Jordan Wilkins failed to deliver in […]

The Cut List (Week 13) - Time to Let Go?

For our Week 13 Cut List preamble, we are going to lament the absolutely mystifying chain of events that ended the Chargers/Bills game in Week 12. Down by 10 with 3:21 left on the clock and starting from his own 12-yard-line, Justin Herbert led yet another impressive late-game drive that included two fourth-down conversions--one of […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 12's Studs Turned Duds

Week 12 was a weird and uncompromising group of games in the NFL. There were unexpected upsets, blowouts, and postponements. Heck, it's Wednesday, and the slate of games isn't even over yet. Besides Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh being stuck in an endless delay loop that has pushed back and altered Week 13, we saw Denver play […]

Marquez Callaway Could Miss Some Time

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Marquez Callaway (knee) suffered a minor knee sprain in the Week 12 win over the Broncos and could miss a little time. Callaway hasn't been targeted in the passing game in the last three games and has just 15 receptions on 19 targets for 136 scoreless yards in his […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 13 Lightning Round

Week 13 approaches and with it, the final week of many fantasy football seasons. Week 12 was chaotic, with COVID-19 pushing BAL-PIT to Tuesday and forcing Denver to start Kendall Hinton at QB. We also saw superstar performances from Tyreek Hill, Derrick Henry, Antonio Gibson, and several others. Cross your fingers for calm skies next […]

Week 12 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 12 was a little frustrating for quarterbacks with Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray all finishing outside the top-10. Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes finished as the top-two quarterbacks on the week, while the main surprise was Mitch Trubisky who relied on garbage-time production to finish as QB-6. Robert Tonyan returned to relevance […]

Jared Cook Held Without A Catch

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook finished with zero yards on two targets in the win over Denver. Though the Saints' passing attack was quiet in the win, Cook now has a total of one reception for six yards on five targets in the past three games total. In 10 games played, Cook has […]

Emmanuel Sanders Has One Catch

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders had one catch for four yards on one target in Week 12. The Saints dominated on the ground and the passing attack was quiet as a result. Sanders has nonetheless been very inconsistent and streaky this season for fantasy managers. The WR only has more than 56 yards […]

Michael Thomas Has 50 Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas had four receptions for 50 yards on six targets in the Week 12 win over Denver. It was a quiet day for the New Orleans passing game as the rushing attack was dominant, but Thomas still had a decent outing compared to the rest of the pass-catching unit. […]

Latavius Murray Rushes For 124 Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had his best game of the season in Week 12, taking 19 carries for 124 yards and two scores along with getting one reception for two yards on one target. Murray has been a factor in the Saints' offense all season, as he has had double-digit carries and […]

Alvin Kamara Has 54 Rushing Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had 11 carries for 54 yards and one reception for -2 yards in the blowout win over the Broncos. It was a quiet day at the office by Kamara's standards and this was due to Latavius Murray stealing the show this week. Nevertheless, the RB is a focal […]

Taysom Hill Has Two Rushing Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill finished Week 12 by going 9-for-16 for 78 yards and a pick along with 10 carries for 44 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Hill once again had two rushing touchdowns, and his value this week relied more on that. The QB is certainly a dual-threat and while it's likely […]

Janoris Jenkins Departs Sunday With Non-Serious Knee Injury

New Orleans Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins (knee) left Sunday's contest versus Denver shortly before halftime due to a knee injury before eventually being marked questionable to return. He never did make it back to the field, but it appears that he has avoided a serious knee injury, with Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football reporting that Jenkins […]

Janoris Jenkins Questionable To Return Against Broncos

New Orleans Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. The veteran defender has two interceptions and nine passes defender this year so far, as well as 37 tackles. If he misses time, the Saints Defense would take a slight hit in value, though aside from a Week […]
