Jamison Crowder Has A Shot To Play In Week 2
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder has a shot to play in Week 2 versus the New England Patriots after sitting out in Week 1 while being in the league's COVID-19 protocols. Crowder has been a big part of the Jets offense over the last couple of seasons, but […]
Terrace Marshall Jr. (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Considering the slew of incumbent 2020 Panthers he shares the field with (Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson) and the fact that Sam Darnold didn't look super comfortable in his regular season Panthers debut, and honestly, Terrace Marshall Jr.'s receiving production doesn't […]
B.J. Goodson Joins Jets Defense
Veteran linebacker B.J. Goodson is signing a one-year deal worth up to $2.1 million on Tuesday with the New York Jets, according to a source. Goodson has 43 career starts (66 games played) and was a key leader for the Cleveland Browns in 2020. The 28-year-old has 251 tackles (168 solo), four interceptions, 12 passes […]
The Cut List - Time To Let Go? Week 2
Week 1 just wrapped up and it's always hard not to overreact to what we saw opening weekend, but nonetheless, decisions must be made. Playing the waiver wire is one of the most important aspects of fantasy football success. Teams go through so much roster turnover over a 17-game schedule and with the extra game […]
Deeper League Waiver Wire - Take a Shot on Tyrod Taylor
Are you someone who plays in a 16, 18 or even 20-team league? Are you sick of never having waiver wire articles geared towards your league? I know what you are thinking -- when you click on waiver wire articles, they are all naming players that are not available. Even when they say "deep league," […]
Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Something or Nothing?
Week 1 of the NFL season is now in the books and while we saw many familiar names register top-fantasy performances there were a few surprises. The quarterback position was fairly predictable for the most part with Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, and Dak Prescott all registering top-five performances. Jameis Winston surprised us all […]
Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2
NFL Week 1 is in the books -- aside from the Monday game -- and wow, some exciting football. The Houston Texans won a game, for instance! Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 2. Not all options are the same. Some players may be […]
Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2
Football is back and all is right in the world. We kicked off the week with nearly 800 yards of passing offense from the Cowboys and Buccaneers on Thursday night football and pushed through to some stellar performances (headlined by Kyler Murray) during Sunday’s slate of games. It is far too early to make any […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 2 Lightning Round
Welcome, one and all, to the 2021 fantasy football season. Week 1's action is still firing but we have plenty of games on the books to chew on as we look forward to Week 2. Trey Sermon and Zack Moss were surprise inactives, while a few key injuries and impressive performances yielded other players of […]
Zach Wilson (QB, NYJ) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Wilson started slowly in his NFL debut but found his stride by the end of the game. The rookie signal-caller finished his first start completing 20 of 37 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns with one interception while also rushing in a two-point […]
Mekhi Becton Needs Surgery, Expected Out 4-6 Weeks
New York Jets starting left tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) is expected to be out for four to six weeks while needing arthroscopic knee surgery to clean up damaged MCL cartilage that he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. When Becton was injured, the Jets moved George Fant […]
Lamarcus Joyner Likely Out For Season
New York Jets defensive back Lamarcus Joyner (elbow) exited the Week 1 showdown with the Carolina Panthers early after he suffered a torn tendon that will require surgery and likely knock him out for the season. The former Las Vegas Raider played in 14 games last year, finishing with five pass deflections and 66 combined […]
Tyler Kroft Quiet In Loss To Panthers
New York Jets tight end Tyler Kroft put together some nice performances during the preseason. Sadly, he wasn't able to carry that momentum into the regular season. Quarterback Zach Wilson was pressured all game long, so he was forced to throw short passes to his tight ends. Kroft finished with three receptions on five targets […]
Braxton Berrios Surprises In Week 1
New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios was not expected to be a huge factor in the offense heading into the regular season. However, Berrios was heavily involved during the Week 1 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He hauled in five of his seven targets for 51 yards in this game. To be fair, the […]
Corey Davis Catches Two Touchdowns In Team Debut
New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis was the clear No. 1 option during the Week 1 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. The Jets were without Jamison Crowder (COVID), so Davis was their main option on offense. He hauled in five of his seven targets for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Fantasy […]
Michael Carter Has A Lackluster NFL Debut
New York Jets running back Michael Carter made his regular season debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. The fourth round rookie failed to find any room to run in the loss to Carolina. He rushed four times for six yards and hauled in one reception for 14 yards. Carter has some dynasty upside, […]
Ty Johnson Fails To Capitalize Versus Panthers
New York Jets running back Ty Johnson is expected to be a dual-threat option for this offense in 2021. However, he is stuck in a three-back committee with Tevin Coleman and Michael Carter. On Sunday, Johnson rushed four times for 15 yards and caught one pass for 11 yards in the loss to the Carolina […]
Tevin Coleman Looks Awful In Week 1
New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman was unable to find any room to run during the Week 1 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran back was named the lead back heading into the regular season. However, he managed just 27 yards on nine attempts during Sunday's loss. All three of the backs in […]
Zach Wilson Finishes Strong In NFL Debut
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson took the field for the first time against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Sadly, the Jets offensive line gave Wilson no help as he was sacked six times in this one. It doesn't help that tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) exited with what looks like an MCL injury. Despite […]
Mekhi Becton Believed To Have Sprained MCL
New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) was carted off and appeared to be in a lot of pain in a game versus the Carolina Panthers. Given the circumstances, a sprained MCL warrants a huge sigh of relief for the Jets. The sophomore dominated in his rookie season and projects to be a huge […]
Mekhi Becton Carted Off With Knee Injury
New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Considering how quickly the Jets announced his status change, this is likely a pretty serious injury to one of the most promising young offensive linemen in the NFL. Without Becton to protect him, rookie quarterback Zach […]
Keelan Cole Inactive For Week 1
New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Carolina Panthers. With Jamison Crowder out too, quarterback Zach Wilson is already down two of his best weapons as he makes his NFL debut. Corey Davis should see plenty of targets and should be in a lot of fantasy […]

Keelan Cole A “True Game-Time Decision”
New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (hamstring) is considered a game-time call for the opener against the Panthers. Cole "tweaked" his hamstring during practice throughout the week, so if he is officially ruled out, the team will be down another wideout after Jamison Crowder will sit to adhere to the league's health and safety […]
