Ted Ginn Jr. Quiet On Sunday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. finished with just 15 yards and two receptions during the win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Michael Thomas Targeted Just Seven Times In Win

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas finished with a season-low five receptions (seven targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown during the win over Seattle on Sunday.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

The Patriots look unstoppable, the Steelers look like toast, and the Ravens look like they'll control the AFC North.

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]

Tre'Quan Smith Won't Play Against Seahawks

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Seahawks after missing practice all week.

Latavius Murray Not A Strong Option In Week 3

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was quiet in Week 2, totaling just seven yards on five carries, and could find himself in a similar situation this week with a tough Seahawks run defense on deck.

Ted Ginn Hoping For Better Week 3 Outing

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn accumulated a grand total of zero targets against the Rams in Week 2 after a solid Week 1 performance, and fantasy owners should expect more duds going forward.

The Resurrected 49ers Are Filling Fantasy Needs

Last year, the San Francisco 49ers offense didn’t offer us much in terms of fantasy production.

Jared Cook A Middling TE2 Option In Week 3
