Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 17

The Week 16 wide receiver matchups article did not yield the greatest returns. CeeDee Lamb was the bright spot scoring two touchdowns, one of which was on the ground and one out of the slot, finishing as WR-10 with 23.4 points. Cooper Kupp did alright, snagging eight balls for 66 yards, but other than that, nobody really hit. […]

Chris Herndon Falls Into TE2 Conversation

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon is not having the type of year that many expected coming into the season. Most of the season has been a bust for Herndon, but he's playing better lately. He has seven receptions for 82 yards and one touchdown over his last two games. Sadly, he'll get a […]

Breshad Perriman A Shaky Option Versus Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman has been held in check over the last month or so. He has hauled in five receptions for 69 yards over the last four games. Last week, Perriman failed to catch any of his six targets, so his fantasy value is on the downward trend. It won't get […]

Denzel Mims Hopeful To Finish On A High Note

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims failed to haul in either of his targets during the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns. However, the second-round rookie has played fairly well most weeks. Hopefully he'll be able to finish out the regular season on a high note against the New England Patriots in Week […]

Jamison Crowder Falls To A WR3 In Week 17

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been basically the only reliable option for this offense in 2020. Crowder did have a mid-season slump, but has bounced back lately. He has 13 receptions over the last two games, so he's clearly an important part to their offensive attack. However, he'll get a tough matchup […]

Ty Johnson Expected To Have Heavy Workload

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson is expected to have a fairly heavy workload for the Week 17 matchup with the New England Patriots. Both Frank Gore (lung) and La'Mical Perine (COVID-19) have been ruled out for this game. That means, Johnson is most likely going to get significant carries this week. The Patriots […]

Sam Darnold Avoidable In Regular Season Finale

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is not having the type of season that many were hopeful to happen in 2020. In fact, Darnold has only finished with 200 passing yards or more in three games this season. He played well against the Cleveland Browns secondary last week, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect it to […]

With the average, usual 16-week leagues already over, there are folks out there (most-probably you're one if you're reading this) still fighting for the cheap in the mighty, unpredictable, crazy 17-week games that will wrap-up the […]

La'Mical Perine Tests Positive For COVID-19

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine tested positive for COVID-19 and will be put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning that he will be unavailable for the Week 17 regular season finale against the Patriots. The 22-year-old would have been in line for a lead-back role this weekend with veteran Frank Gore (lung) already […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Most fantasy leagues have been decided after 16 grueling weeks of gridiron action but there are always exceptions.

Since 2020 has been an […]

Week 16 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Quarterback was a crazy position to navigate in Week 16. Tom Brady saw just 30 minutes of action against the Lions and still managed to finish as QB-2 and Andy Dalton, who is only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues shredded the Eagles Defense to finish as QB-3. Mitch Trubisky accounted for three touchdowns, finishing as QB-7, […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 17 Lightning Round

Frank Gore To Miss Week 17 Finale

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (lung), who became the third player in NFL history to run for 16,000 yards in the Week 16 win over the Browns, will not play in Week 17 against the Patriots due to a lung contusion. Gore ran the ball 14 times for 48 yards against Cleveland and […]

Breshad Perriman Fails To Record A Reception

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman was horrendous during the Week 16 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. He was targeted six times and failed to catch any of them. Yes, Perriman finished with zero receiving yards and his only value came from a one carry for six yards. He'll be a desperation flex option […]

Denzel Mims Does Nothing Versus Browns

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims has been a nice bright spot for this offense thus far. However, he failed to do anything against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Mims was targeted twice and didn't haul in either of them during the win. This was a career-low in targets for Mims, but it's […]

Chris Herndon Makes Some Noise In Week 16

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon has been a big disappointment this season because he had fairly lofty expectations coming into the season. He hauled in all four of his targets for 34 yards and one touchdown in the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns. Herndon is finally making some noise, but it's […]
