Week 15-16 Playoff Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Still doing things a little differently this week--for those of you who are still alive. I want to take a look at the playoffs as a whole (and in this case we are considering Weeks 14-16) and determine which DSTs you can ride all the way through and which ones you should stream this week. […]

Week 15 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the playoffs are in full swing in most leagues and the final march for a championship has begun, streaming becomes a  necessary strategy. Knowing who to add and when to start them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup. Making the right streaming decisions could easily be the difference in winning […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 15

Week 14 was a boring one on Tank Street, with all of the crowd favorites managing to take care of business and keep on losing. We did have another early contender fizzle out after Atlanta won their third game out of five, after starting the season a near-perfect 1-7. With two of their three remaining […]

Aldrick Rosas Deep League Option

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas is a streaming option in deep leagues in his matchup this week against the Dolphins. Even with Eli Manning under center, the Giants should be able to move the ball against a Dolphins Defense that gives up more fantasy points to kickers than any other defense in the NFL. […]

Giants Defense Not On Streaming Radar Without Jenkins

The New York Giants Defense looked like a possible streaming option for a second against pass-happy Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins. Then they released Janoris Jenkins on Friday after he got into an online spat with a fan. Without their top corner, the Giants passing defense will be extremely inexperienced and could be exposed against […]

Golden Tate Too Risky on Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is too risky an option for fantasy playoffs this week. The slot receiver came back last week and saw 88% of the team's snaps, which is in line with his usual output. However, in his first game ever with Eli Manning, he saw only 17% of targets, the […]

Kaden Smith Gets Another Start For Giants

New York Giants tight end Kaden Smith will get another start with both Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) out for the third straight week. Smith did little against the Eagles last week; however, he did see 17% of the Giants' targets. This Sunday, in a game in which the Giants figure to be […]

Darius Slayton Has Boom Potential But More Risk

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has become a fantasy darling after his explosion against the Eagles on Monday night. He gets another enticing matchup against a porous Dolphins secondary, but he's not as much of a sure thing as many are indicating. With Golden Tate back, Slayton's snap share drop from 94% to […]

Sterling Shepard Being Unfairly Overlooked

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is being unfairly overlooked due to Darius Slayton's big game last weekend. Slayton did hit a few big plays, but Shepard still saw 24% of the Giants' targets (to Slayton's 27%) and played 92% of snaps (to Slayton's 81%). If Shepard is on the field more and seeing […]

Saquon Barkley Finally Set To Explode

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is in a prime spot to explode for fantasy owners on Sunday versus the Dolphins. With Eli Manning under center, Saquon Barkley saw 20 touches on 49 total snaps. The Eagles Defense kept him in check, but if Barkley is going to see touches on over 40% of […]

Daniel Jones Not Expected To Play Sunday

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 15 against the Dolphins, according to a source. Veteran Eli Manning will take his place for the second week in a row and will make at least one more home start in his career. Jones was limited in practice this […]

Evan Engram Not Expected To Play Against Dolphins

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) is not expected to play in Week 15 against the Dolphins, according to a source. The Giants were hoping he would be able to return this Sunday after getting in limited practices, but his sprained foot just isn't healing fast enough for him to return. With the […]

Eli Manning A Deep League Streamer This Week

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will get one more chance to prove his value on Sunday. Daniel Jones (ankle) is not expected to play, which means Manning gets a prime matchup against a Dolphins Defense that ranks 27th in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. Manning didn't look great on Monday; he remains relatively immobile […]

Fantasy Football IDP Rankings for Week 15 (Top 100)

One of the great things about implementing IDP in fantasy football is that it balances out some of the insanity that the offensive players produce in some weeks. If you started a lineup with Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, Boston Scott, A.J. Brown, Darius Slayton, and Noah Fant then you undoubtedly crushed your opponent while a […]

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard.

Show Me The Money! Stashes That Could Win Your League

Success in the fantasy playoffs is all about planning ahead. Your bench is no longer a safe space for high floor players without much of a ceiling; they won't win you the big game. You need to look ahead and stash players with exploitable matchups in the weeks to come so that you don't get […]

Eli Manning Likely To Make Another Start

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is likely to make his second straight start in Week 15 against the Dolphins despite rookie Daniel Jones (ankle) returning to a limited practice on Wednesday, according to a team official. It could be the 38-year-old Manning's final home start for the G-Men. The decision will ultimately be head […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 15

The first week of the fantasy playoffs is in the books, and hopefully you're still writing another chapter in it. Week 14 was absolutely brutal from an injury perspective, with several big name players getting carted off the field and burying multitudes of fantasy teams in the process. Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley, Devante Parker, Alshon […]

Evan Engram, Golden Tate, Daniel Jones Limited In Practice

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot), wide receiver Golden Tate (foot) and rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) was also limited. Engram has been out since Nov. 4, but he'd be a solid TE1 option against the Dolphins this weekend if he's […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

You have to love fantasy football. You have to, otherwise you would have given up by now.

Week 14 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 14, the quarterback position was littered with surprises. Drew Brees dropped over 40 fantasy points on a 49ers Defense that's given up the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season and Jameis Winston hung 456 yards and 5 touchdowns on a Colts Defense that's been solid against the pass all year. Mitch […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 15 Lightning Round

An injury-laden Week 14 decided many matchups, with several big names going down in a Red Wedding-esque affair. Not only was Josh Jacobs was a late inactive, but Jared Cook, Devante Parker, Albert Wilson all left with concussions, Mike Evans pulled up with a hamstring injury, Calvin Ridley and Ryan Griffin hurt their ankles, Derrius […]

Aldrick Rosas Perfect In Another Low Scoring Effort

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made both of his extra points and his only field goal attempt in Monday's loss to the Eagles. As with most games this season, Rosas' fantasy value is limited by his mediocre offense. The Giants simply don't get the ball into scoring position enough for him to be a […]
