The Cut List (Week 5) - Time to Let Go?

We have reached the point in the season where you will inevitably encounter players once featured in the “hold” category, be demoted to the “drop” portion of the entry. As the sample size of games increases, it will be harder to recommend a hold on a “let’s see” approach. There are naturally exceptions to this, […]

It's time to break out the wallets! Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB). In case you were not aware, several fantasy sports platforms are switching from […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

The bye weeks officially begin, although a couple of teams have already taken theirs prematurely due to COVID. Hopefully, no other games are delayed but we know to always be prepared for unexpected changes to the schedule. The waiver wire will be more important in 2020 than any previous season, especially after waivers clear in […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

While Week 4 hasn't yielded as many injuries as Weeks 2 and 3, we're still tracking several relevant names potentially going down and who would step up. Key injuries include: Austin Ekeler (hamstring), Nick Chubb (knee), Noah Fant (ankle), O.J. Howard (Achilles), Tyler Eifert (concussion), and Jordan Akins (concussion). And of course, there are the Covid-related […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Another week is in the books, though not how we expected, with one game postponed until later in the year and Patriots/Chiefs postponed until Monday night. We saw some good wide receiver performances this week, some of which came from unexpected places. We saw two long touchdowns from random Chargers receivers, for example! Who expected […]

Week 4 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

There were 17 quarterbacks that scored at least 20-fantasy points in Week 4 with Dak Prescott leading the charge. Teddy Bridgewater, Justin Herbert and Sam Darnold were some unfamiliar faces that cracked the top-10 this week, but other than those guys none of the big producers really surprised us. As a whole, tight ends weren't […]

Jets Release Kalen Ballage

The New York Jets released running back Kalen Ballage on Monday. Even with Le'Veon Bell on Injured Reserve, the Jets rarely used Ballage. The former Dolphin carried the ball just three times for 13 yards and caught nine of his 10 targets in the passing game for 67 yards in three games. New York will […]

Chris Hogan (WR, NYJ) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As ridiculous as it sounds, Chris Hogan is the only Jets' wideout to have played in all four games of the season so far in 2020. He's also the only WR to finish each of those matches with at least 51 snaps, logging […]

Jeff Smith (WR, NYJ) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jets are cooked. The Jets are cooked so bad. They are nothing but guaranteed a bottom-three finish this season and a top-three pick in the 2021 draft. And if that wasn't bad enough, they are losing players by the day, having to rely […]

Sam Darnold Likely To Miss Some Time

The most likely scenario is that New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will miss some time after suffering an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder in last Thursday's loss to the Broncos. However, the Jets could wait until the practice week to make a decision on his availability. The team won't have a […]

Week 4 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Another week, and another six out of the top 10 defenses correct. Some of the top ones were gimmes, and I'm a little surprised by how the Chargers Defense laid an egg versus Carolina and the way the Bills Defense just seemed totally lost against the Rams in the second half. I'm happy I trusted […]

Week 4 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 3 is in the books, and we had some of the most entertaining football we've seen in a long time. There were multiple fourth-quarter comebacks, game-winning drives, and we even got a tie at the end of the early slate of games. This NFL season figures to be confusing and impossible to predict every […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts: Week 4

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of all the injuries in the NFL. Trying to field a lineup in fantasy football lineup in standard leagues, dynasty leagues or DFS contests is harder than finding a decent player on the New York Jets offense or New York Giants Defense. Injuries create openings for […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 4 (10/4/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Woah baby did we have some sweats going on in Week 3, but we earned a sweep that will hopefully set the tone for the rest of the season. While this is without a doubt the most unprecedented season of my lifetime, the NFL will do everything they can to keep the train from derailing. […]

Sam Darnold Could Miss Time With Shoulder Sprain

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) could miss some time with the shoulder sprain that he played through in the Thursday night loss to the Broncos. "Anything’s on the table right now," Gase said. As if things couldn't get any worse for the 0-4 Jets. If Darnold is […]

RB Insurance Report: Essential Adds and Backfield Updates

Chris Carson often plays at a fantasy RB1 level when he is available. But he has a checkered injury history that even preceded his college days. So when I drafted him in several leagues this season, I made sure to take Carlos Hyde later on as an insurance pick every time. So when Carson went […]

Chris Herndon Held In Check By Denver

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon was basically invisible during the Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos. He hauled in one of his three targets for 11 yards during the Thursday night loss. Herndon now has five total receptions during the last three games combined. The Jets have been unable to get him […]

Chris Hogan Hauls In Four Receptions

New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan made a minor impact during the Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos. Hogan was able to haul in four of his eight targets for 23 yards during their loss on Thursday. It was a game that could've been better for Hogan, assuming he actually caught more than […]

Jamison Crowder Goes Over 100 Yards

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder did suit up for the matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 4 despite dealing with a hamstring issue. Crowder was basically the only bright spot on the team during their loss to Denver. He hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 104 yards. Crowder appears to […]

La'Mical Perine Invisible In Week 4

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine has been unable to make much of an impact since making his NFL debut in Week 2. On Thursday, Perine rushed five times for 15 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Sam Darnold surprisingly finished with more rushing attempts than Perine in the game. The […]

Frank Gore Finishes With 30 Yards

New York Jets running back Frank Gore was held in check by the Denver Broncos Defense on Thursday. Gore rushed 13 times for 30 yards and caught one pass for six yards in the loss to Denver. The veteran running back has been asked to carry a heavy workload with Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) sidelined. Sadly, […]

Sam Darnold Crushed By Broncos

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold was unable to get much going during the Thursday night loss to the Denver Broncos. Darnold completed 23 of 42 passing attempts for 230 yards without a touchdown or interception. He also rushed six times for 84 yards and one touchdown. It has been an unimpressive start to the […]

Jamison Crowder Active For Week 4

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is active for Thursday night's contest against the Denver Broncos. It remains to be seen how much Crowder actually plays in this game and he's a fairly risky option in season-long leagues, but he is an intriguing play in DFS. Braxton Berrios's Week 4 value takes a […]
