Willie Snead the Receiver to Own in New Orleans?

With the departures of two of Drew Brees' biggest targets last year (Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills), many wondered who in the New Orleans receiving corps would be the man to step up. Five games into the season, it seems as if that man is Willie Snead. Snead followed up a solid Week 4 performance […]

Brandin Cooks Scores First Touchdown vs Eagles

New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks found the end zone for the first time this season in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.  Cooks had five receptions for 120 yards, scoring on a 14-yard strike from QB Drew Brees. With the Saints trailing for most of the game, Drew Brees was throwing the ball a […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 5: Anthony Dixon, Willie Snead, Maxx Williams

Another week and even more injury news and fantasy controversies have risen. People, we are only a quarter of the way through the season and my fantasy football team consists of Dez Bryant, Ben Roethlisberger, Jordan Reed, and LeSean McCoy. Anybody want to trade me one of their players? I could certainly use the help […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 5: The Early Games

One rule I live by hard and fast in fantasy football is to never make any judgments about my team or any players before the first four weeks of the season. Especially now, with abbreviated practices and training camps, the first four weeks are often an extension of the preseason. But with Week 4 officially […]

Week 5 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

So you probably noticed that Week 4 felt a lot more "normal" compared to that Week 3 carnival of points. Unless you double dipped on Devonta Freeman, in which case we should be best friends and talk a lot on Saturdays. Week 5 looks to have a plenty of studs in A+ matchups - which […]

Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals Going Into Week 5

The wide receiver position is typically more consistent on a year-to-year basis than the running back position, yet this season is off to a bit of an odd start. There have been a surprising number of bounce-backs like Keenan Allen and Larry Fitzgerald, while presumed studs Calvin Johnson and Mike Evans have turned out to be inconsistent. The […]

As week five slowly approaches, the waiver wire and free agency becomes a major way to deepen your bench with players potentially ready to bust out.

Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: All the hype was pointed towards Saints receivers Brandon Coleman and Brandon Cooks during the offseason. Meanwhile, Willie Snead has somehow managed to outdo them both so far in the 2015 fantasy football season. Snead currently leads the team in yardage (240 receiving yards), despite […]

Is Drew Brees Really Back For Fantasy Owners?

It was great site to see. After missing the Week 3 game against the Panthers, Drew Brees made his triumphant return in Week 4 versus the Dallas Cowboys. He completed 33-of-44 pass attempts, good for an 80.5% completion rate, to go along with 359 passing yards and two touchdowns. Not too shabby, and also good […]

Slow Down Before Starting C.J. Spiller Going Forward

If all you did was glance at the box score of the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints game, you may be thinking that C.J. Spiller is a must-start running back going forward, but slow down a bit. Sure, Spiller had over 100 total yards and a touchdown, which sounds great until you look into […]

Saints Put Cowboys Away in Overtime

People were still rattling off comical tweets and hilarious gifs of kickers failing after Saints' kicker Zach Hocker hit the left upright on a 30 yard field goal attempt in the waning moments of the fourth quarter game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The referee may also have still been explaining the […]

Drew Brees Probable for Sunday, Bench Him?

Drew Brees is officially listed as probable to play on Sunday in the New Orleans Saints Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Dealing with a shoulder injury, Brees missed last week's game against the Carolina Panthers but is likely to return this week as the Saints are in desperation mode looking […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, NO) - Players Showing Warning Signals

I didn’t want to overload you with repeats this week so I decided to dig a little deeper down the list and look for a player who wasn’t drafted as high as the others but is disappointing all the same. Brandin Cooks has yet to find the endzone or reach 100 yards in a game […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, NO) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

Three weeks without a touchdown has Cooks looking more like a flop than the stud he was projected to be heading into the season. That could change quickly, though. Despite the absence of Drew Brees at quarterback last week, Cooks caught seven of his eight targets from backup Luke McCown and managed a respectable 78 yards. While […]

Drew Brees Expects to Play in Week 4 Against Cowboys

Drew Brees expects to suit up and start for the New Orleans Saints against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Brees said he was "very optimistic" about playing the Cowboys in a radio interview on Monday morning. Brees missed Week 3 due to a bruised rotator cuff. Since backup Luke McCown played well in his […]

Week 2 DraftKings Deep Sleeper Tournament Plays

By clicking this, you're saying that you like to live dangerously. You want to take that shot at separating from the pack. You don't want to just fall in line with a bunch of chalk picks.

The Daily Divide: Week Two DFS

Matt and Nathan each offer cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments and debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Matt probably makes more good points than Nathan over the long haul though, so please pay special attention […]

Fantasy Football Week 2 Boom and Bust Candidates for Early Games

In many ways, Week 2 is the most important week of the early fantasy football season. If you started off 1-0, now you have a chance to perch yourself atop the league with a victory. At 0-1, the last thing you want to do is fall into an 0-2 hole, so a Week 2 victory […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Brandon Coleman had a strong debut for the Saints, posting a solid 4-41-1 line in Week 1.

Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I actually wrote about Robinson last week, so please see my thought process here, but after Week 1 I'm only more sure of myself, and this pick. The great thing about Robinson is he has two routes to playing time as he is […]

Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m more-so buying Coleman for his situation rather than his hype as a player. Coleman went undrafted this past year, but was scooped up by one of the most intriguing passing offenses in the NFL, the Saints. They then shippedJimmy Graham and Kenny Stills out of […]

Benjamin Watson (TE, NO) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Again, some people will call this move questionable, but I'll remind you this is only if your team is desperately in need of a spot start. Watson was once relevant in the passing game a long time ago, and had a somewhat valuable fantasy season in […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 1 (Less Than 20% Owned)

With Week 1 of the new NFL season already underway, it is probably unlikely that your fantasy football team is plagued by injuries, unless you drafted several players that got hurt this preseason.

Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for RB Depth / RB3 Upside CURRENT ADP: 227 STD, 224 PPR ANALYSIS: Saints lead-back Mark Ingram is highly regarded by draft experts and is being taken as a top-15 RB based off of his stretch run in 2014. Listen, Ingram had a decent 10 game stretch to finish the season where he averaged 91 […]

Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for WR3 Upside CURRENT ADP: 201 STD, 159 PPR ANALYSIS: Whenever the words "wide receiver" and "Drew Brees" are in the same sentence, you have to like your chances in fantasy football. With the offseason departure of non-inspiring Kenny Stills, and target monster Jimmy Graham, the young and talented rookie Coleman should immediately be catapulted […]
