Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

After three weeks of the regular season, many of you have already contended with the absence of a player that you had projected to be your team's primary back. Any managers who embraced the opportunity to seize Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook at the onset of their drafts have now been added to that unwanted list. Other backs who […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups- Week 4

Another week of NFL football is almost in the books and once again scoring was held relatively in check. Only six teams were able to able to surpass 30 points scored across the league despite several matchups that should have had shootout conditions. Through three weeks, it would seem that defenses benefitted from the return […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

We routinely gather in this space for a rapid reaction waiver piece so you can get a jump on the action to come, but I'd like you to take a moment and think of Mike Tagliere and his family first. In case you missed it, a titan of our industry passed away this weekend. Tags […]

Michael Carter (RB, NYJ) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Carter was included in last week’s recommendations due to the expectation that he would eventually ascend into an expanded role. Managers were still largely uninspired to target him for their rosters, as his availability only changed by 4%. Carter’s escalating usage had propelled […]

Zach Wilson Holding Onto The Ball Too Long

New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson leads the NFL with eight sacks that took more than 4.5 seconds from snap to tackle through three weeks, according to Next Gen Stats. Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields has seven such sacks on just 46 dropbacks. Overall, Fields has been sacked 11 times and has only […]

Elijah Moore Exits Early In Week 3 Loss

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) was expected to be heavily involved in the passing game against the Denver Broncos in Week 3. He hauled in three receptions on six targets for 22 yards before exiting the game due to a concussion. This is a week-to-week type of injury. There is a decent […]

Corey Davis Targeted 10 Times

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis is one of the few players producing decent fantasy value for this team right now. Davis posted a dud in Week 2, but bounced back against the Denver Broncos. He hauled in five of his 10 targets for 41 yards in the shutout loss. It was a better […]

Ty Johnson Barely Involved In Loss To Denver

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson was expected to have a bigger workload with Tevin Coleman (illness) ruled out for Week 3. That being said, Johnson and rookie Michael Carter were asked to lead this backfield. Well, it's the Jets, so things weren't disastrously bad for them. Johnson rushed three times for 17 yards […]

Michael Carter Disappointing In First Career Start

New York Jets running back Michael Carter received his first career NFL start against the Denver Broncos in Week 3. The promising rookie back was unable to find much room to run in this one. He rushed nine times for 24 yards in what ended up being a shutout loss for the Jets. Both quarterback […]

Zach Wilson Posts Brutal Performance In Week 3

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson had a promising NFL debut, but he has been awful since then. In Week 3, Wilson completed 19 of 35 passing attempts for 160 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss to the Denver Broncos. It was partly Wilson's fault, but the offensive line didn't give […]

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

The games get better and more dramatic by the week. It's like the NFL scripts these games.

I won't go […]

New York Jets second-year wide receiver Denzel Mims has just one catch for 40 yards through two games, and he was a healthy scratch in the Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots. Because he doesn't play special teams, Mims must learn all the wideout positions if he wants to start on game day […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts And Busts – Week 3 Edition

Here’s the thing, when it comes to tight ends ranked outside the top-six, there are going to be a lot of mistakes. The position is extremely volatile and even the best options are prone to some extremely big clunkers. Their roles can change significantly week-to-week. Very few guys have locked-in roles like Darren Waller and […]

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) did not practice at all this week and is doubtful for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. Crowder has yet to play this year after being on the COVID-19 list and due to an injury that he suffered late in training camp. The veteran slot man remains […]
