Michael Thomas, Jared Cook Limited On Thursday
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) and Jared Cook (groin) were both limited participants on Thursday. Since the Saints play on Monday, this was essentially their first practice day of the week. It's encouraging that Thomas hasn't had any setbacks yet after practicing in limited fashion all of last week, so he certainly […]
Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 5
It seems that injuries are an ongoing trend this season so we need to adjust accordingly. Although Week 4 was not as devastating as the previous week, more big-name fantasy players have gone down, most notably Nick Chubb and Austin Ekeler. However, we need to find ways to adapt to the new fantasy landscape. Week […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 5
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]
NextGen Stats - Wide Receiver/Tight End Breakdowns and Takeaways
I can't believe it. Months of waiting, painful empty weekends, and now a quarter of the NFL season is suddenly gone! But I'm not going to lie, I love the moment when the whistle blows to end the week on Monday nights. It is just the confirmation that we have another full round of data […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
The bye weeks officially begin, although a couple of teams have already taken theirs prematurely due to COVID. Hopefully, no other games are delayed but we know to always be prepared for unexpected changes to the schedule. The waiver wire will be more important in 2020 than any previous season, especially after waivers clear in […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round
While Week 4 hasn't yielded as many injuries as Weeks 2 and 3, we're still tracking several relevant names potentially going down and who would step up. Key injuries include: Austin Ekeler (hamstring), Nick Chubb (knee), Noah Fant (ankle), O.J. Howard (Achilles), Tyler Eifert (concussion), and Jordan Akins (concussion). And of course, there are the Covid-related […]
Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5
Some of you were forced to contend with significant injuries to your running backs during the matchups of Week 4, while others experienced frustrating output and inconsistent patterns of usage. The sudden bye weeks for Tennessee, and Pittsburgh, also created unexpected challenges for anyone with Derrick Henry, or James Conner. Uncertainty surrounding the status of New […]
Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5
Another week is in the books, though not how we expected, with one game postponed until later in the year and Patriots/Chiefs postponed until Monday night. We saw some good wide receiver performances this week, some of which came from unexpected places. We saw two long touchdowns from random Chargers receivers, for example! Who expected […]
Week 4 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
There were 17 quarterbacks that scored at least 20-fantasy points in Week 4 with Dak Prescott leading the charge. Teddy Bridgewater, Justin Herbert and Sam Darnold were some unfamiliar faces that cracked the top-10 this week, but other than those guys none of the big producers really surprised us. As a whole, tight ends weren't […]
Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nothing has changed in Green Bay's backfield through four weeks of play. Aaron Jones keeps racking up touches, rushing the ball 15+ times a game, and scoring all touchdowns on the ground (4 and counting). What has changed, though, is that the Packers […]

Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is definitely a temporary fix and patch to apply in your lineups, not much more. But that rostership near-30% tells you all you need to know, though. With stud WR Michael Thomas injured and Jared Cook also missing time at the TE […]
Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, MIA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I've been telling you for a while now: without Jameis Winston in the active roster of starting quarterbacks, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the closest thing we have to a boom-or-bust player at the position. Is that great? No. Is it bad? Neither. In fact, and […]
Tre'Quan Smith Grabs Two Touchdowns
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith finished Week 4 with four receptions, 54 yards, and two touchdowns on four targets. It was a great game for the 24-year-old, who grabbed his first touchdowns of the season. In the past three games, Smith has now gotten at least four receptions, four targets, and 42 yards. […]
Emmanuel Sanders Get Season-High 93 Yards
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders stepped up in the Week 4 win over the Lions, getting six receptions for 93 yards on nine targets. It seems Sanders and Drew Brees are starting to build a rapport and that bodes well for the WR, who posted season-highs in receptions, targets, and yards in Week […]
Latavius Murray Gets Two Touchdowns
New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had a productive Week 4, getting 14 rushes for 64 yards and two scores along with one reception for 19 yards. The RB2 on the team has now seen at least 12 rushing attempts in three of four games and has recorded at least 48 rushing yards in […]
Alvin Kamara Stuffs Stat Sheet In Week 4
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara once again had a high workload in Sunday's win against the Lions, getting 19 rushes for 83 yards and a score along with three receptions for 36 yards. With Michael Thomas and Jared Cook out, Kamara took on a huge role as expected. He is a weekly starter […]
Drew Brees Tosses For 246 Yards
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees finished the Week 4 win over Detroit with 246 yards, two touchdowns, and one pick while going 19-for-25. This season, the veteran hasn't been putting up the most flashy numbers, and this week was another rather modest performance from a fantasy perspective. As long as the run game remains […]
Michael Burton Active For Week 4
New Orleans Saints fullback Michael Burton is active for Sunday's game against the Lions. Burton tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, but an additional test showed that it was a false positive. Burton's not a fantasy relevant play, but his availability for this game shows that the league is willing to make a quick turnaround […]

Week 4 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Another week, and another six out of the top 10 defenses correct. Some of the top ones were gimmes, and I'm a little surprised by how the Chargers Defense laid an egg versus Carolina and the way the Bills Defense just seemed totally lost against the Rams in the second half. I'm happy I trusted […]
Week 4 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Week 3 is in the books, and we had some of the most entertaining football we've seen in a long time. There were multiple fourth-quarter comebacks, game-winning drives, and we even got a tie at the end of the early slate of games. This NFL season figures to be confusing and impossible to predict every […]
