Fantasy Football Buy or Sell: Week 2

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

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

We made it! We wagered through a long and tedious preseason but real football hit us in the forehead for the first time this season during the past few days and change. But just as soon as it came, it went. The first week of the season is over and we have some tasty numbers […]

Week 1 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 1, the quarterback position was rather stable as Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray finished inside the top-five. Through Sunday's games, Gardner Minshew II finished as QB12 which surprised most, while Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes underwhelmed just a little, finishing as QB2's. Tight end was a little […]

Disaster Recovery - Stud Turned Dud

The first week of the NFL season is in the books. We weren't sure if the 2020 season would start on time. We weren't sure what the games would look or feel like. We still aren't sure if all 17 weeks will go ahead as planned and if the season will reach its normal conclusion. […]

FAB Bidding - Week 2 Waiver Wire Targets

Joining our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB). In case you were not aware, several fantasy sports platforms are switching from FAAB to FAB in 2020, and […]

Giants Defense Has Quiet Night In Week 1

The New York Giants Defense didn't do much for fantasy owners in a loss to the Steelers on Monday night. New York allowed 26 points with two sacks and just one turnover. The night could have been worse for Big Blue, as Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was shredding the New York secondary most of the night. […]

Sterling Shepard Makes Six Catches On Monday Night

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught all six of his targets for 47 yards in a loss to the Steelers Monday night. Shepard posted an impressive 68 percent catch rate last season as a slot receiver and got off to a good start in that department again this season. He has more value […]

Evan Engram Vanishes In Monday Night Loss

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram made two catches for nine scoreless yards in a loss to the Steelers Monday night. Engram had seven targets, but couldn't do anything with them as he was blanketed by a strong Pittsburgh secondary all night. The fourth-year tight end averaged over 10.6 yards per catch in each […]

Saquon Barkley Stonewalled By Steelers

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley ran for six yards on 15 carries as the Steelers Defense lived in the Giants backfield all night. Barkley salvaged his night for fantasy with six catches for 60 yards, but it was a disappointing night for a player that went first overall in many fantasy drafts. Barkley […]

Darius Slayton Goes Nuts Versus Steelers In Opener

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught six passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Slayton was tied for the team lead in targets with nine as he emerged as a favorite target of Daniel Jones. Slayton has had a knack for scoring touchdowns in his […]

Daniel Jones Struggles Versus Steelers In Week 1

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 279 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in a Week 1 loss to Pittsburgh. Jones added 22 yards on four carries. It was a tough matchup vs a strong Steelers Defense, but Jones did not have an encouraging night for fantasy managers. He threw an awful […]

Golden Tate Inactive Against Steelers

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) won't play on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Tate out, expect to see a ton of Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard at wide receiver. Both players are solid fantasy options in this contest, though it's unlikely that a fantasy manager who was planning to start […]

Deep Dynasty Sleepers to Add Before It's Too Late

All the top rookies have found a home on dynasty rosters long ago and the unexpected training camp risers like James Robinson have been snatched up from waivers ahead of Week 1. A quick look at the waiver wire in leagues with deep rosters is pretty bare. For example, a recent search for the best […]

Golden Tate Questionable Against Steelers

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Steelers. Tate was limited all week, so there's a chance he suits up, though it is definitely not something fantasy managers want to count on. The matchup is tough enough and would be made even more difficult […]
