Week 5 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

After successfully predicting eight out of the top ten defenses last week, we may be starting to hit our groove. Some of them felt a bit like gimmes, but the Jets in the top-10 was the subject of criticism and watching the Bills round into form a bit was also nice. The only two outliers […]

Week 5 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 4 is done, and the NFL season is really starting to roll now. Offenses are scoring more than we've ever seen before. Heading into the Monday night games, nine of the 13 games for the week had gone over the 50-point mark, and two of the four came within five points of that mark. […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 5

Last week's wide receiver matchup article featured five receivers that finished inside the top-20, including Odell Beckham Jr. who finished as the highest scoring wide receiver in Week 4. While some of the calls worked out, some did not. A.J. Green simply isn't getting it done, and if he doesn't come through in Week 5 I […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 5 (10/11/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

We took care of some business in Week 4, going 2-1, with the loss being a disappointing one. Baltimore took care of business, although a bad no-call on a would-be Marquise Brown touchdown made it a little more a sweat than need be. Jacksonville and Cincinnati covered the over with ease, and that was after […]

Jets Activate Le'Veon Bell From Injured Reserve

The New York Jets activated running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday. In corresponding moves, the team signed offensive lineman Jimmy Murray to the active roster and elevated quarterback Mike White and defensive back Lamar Jackson from the practice squad. Linebacker Alec Ogletree and wide receiver Josh Malone were also released. Bell […]

Chris Hogan Questionable For Week 5

New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan (knee, ribs) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Hogan was limited in practice all week, so we'd expect him to suit up this Sunday. The former Patriots receiver surely has a path to more targets with Breshad Perriman (ankle) likely to miss another game, […]

Jets Going Virtual After Positive COVID-19 Test

All New York Jets players and coaches have been sent home on Friday after a presumptive positive player test for COVID-19, according to a source. The team's training facility is shut down, and they will go virtual until they have the results of the test that they are re-running on the player who tested positive […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 5

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate.

Chris Herndon Needs A Bounce-Back Performance

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon started off the season with a solid six-reception performance in the season-opener. However, he's hauled in a total of five receptions since then. The Jets offense is horrendous, so that doesn't help Herndon's value. He'll get a decent matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5. Veteran quarterback […]

Chris Hogan Could Have Deep League Value

New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan could be looking at an increased role against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5. The Jets are likely going to be without Breshad Perriman (ankle) for this game. That means, Jamison Crowder, Braxton Berrios, and Hogan could be the main options. Sadly, the Jets offense is horrendous, so […]

Braxton Berrios Risky Against Arizona

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios looked good during Weeks 2 and 3, but he was a ghost during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. Berrios was targeted three times but failed to haul in any of his targets. Breshad Perriman (ankle) is unlikely to play for the third straight game, though, which […]

Breshad Perriman Likely To Miss His Third Straight Game

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) is unlikely to suit up for the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. He has been unable to practice each of the last two weeks. Perriman would have a tough matchup against the Cardinals pass defense, assuming he did suit up. Chris Hogan should see an […]

Jamison Crowder Holds WR3 Value In Week 5

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been about the only positive thing on offense for this team thus far. Crowder returned in Week 4 and posted an 104-yard performance with seven receptions. Quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) won't suit up for this one, so the veteran Joe Flacco will get the start versus the […]

La'Mical Perine Has Avoidable Matchup In Week 5

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine has seen some action over the last few weeks due to the team having a banged-up backfield. However, Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) is expected to return from Injured Reserve for the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Perine didn't have much value anyway, but the return of […]

Frank Gore's Workload Could Decrease Dramatically In Week 5

New York Jets running back Frank Gore has been a workhorse for the team over the last few games. However, Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) has a chance to return in Week 5, which would basically kill Gore's fantasy value. The Jets will get a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, who have allowed the ninth-most fantasy […]

Le'Veon Bell Hopeful To Suit Up For Week 5

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) has been practicing this week and could be activated for the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. He has missed each of the last three games due to a hamstring issue. The Jets offense has been horrendous, so Bell's return can only help. It's unclear if […]

Breshad Perriman Misses Another Practice

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) and rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton (shoulder) will both miss practice on Thursday. Neither player was able to practice on Wednesday either, so they'll need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a shot at playing […]

Joe Flacco Set To Start Versus Cardinals

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco is expected to draw the start under center versus the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5. Quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) is going to miss at least one game due to an AC joint sprain. The Jets have a horrendous offense that basically no quarterback could have success in. The Cardinals […]

Sam Darnold Out Sunday, Joe Flacco To Start Against Cardinals

The New York Jets will use quarterback Joe Flacco as the starter in Week 5 against the Cardinals, according to a sources. Sam Darnold (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder in the Week 4 loss to the Broncos and has been ruled out. It's unclear if Darnold will be ready to […]

Can We Count on Kenyan Drake?

After a top-four finish following his trade from Miami to Arizona, running back Kenyan Drake was all the hype coming into fantasy drafts this season. With Arizona giving him the transition tag and the $10 million that came with it, the thought was he would be used heavily this season. So far, it has not […]

Le'Veon Bell Presents Risky RB2 Option Sunday In Return

Barring a significant setback, New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) is expected to return for Sunday’s contest versus the Cardinals. Bell has been out of the mix since Week 1, having rushed just six times this season for 14 yards. While he should reclaim top back duties for New York, the Jets’ offense […]
