Week 16 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding
We're finally here. Week 16. The week that all fantasy owners envisioned themselves playing in for a fantasy title when they were drafting their teams this Fall. If you were lucky enough to make it this far, kudos to you. It surely took plenty of savvy waiver wire pickups and an opportunistic trade or two […]
Robby Anderson Questionable
New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (illness) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 16 against the Steelers. Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful to play. Anderson is expected to suit up this Sunday, where he and Jamison Crowder will be quarterback Sam […]
Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 16
Every once in a while, the schedule gods look down and gift us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. After a grueling 15 weeks and a rollercoaster filled with ups and downs, and even more downs, it's time for all of the league's biggest losers to put up or shut up in […]
Robby Anderson A Decent Play Despite Matchup
New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson has been playing well after a disappointing start to the season and is a startable receiver this week despite a tough matchup with Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Steelers. Anderson has been playing with dollar signs in his eyes as the impending free agent has at least 66 yards […]
Demaryius Thomas Not Practicing Friday
New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (knee, ankle) is not practicing Friday and looks unlikely to play Sunday vs the Steelers. This would be the second straight missed game for the veteran wide-out who also missed time earlier in the season with a hamstring injury. Expect Vyncint Smith to play in three WR sets […]
Jets Defense Not Recommended Sunday
The New York Jets Defense may be getting Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams (ankle) back ahead of a "home" game vs the Steelers, but they are still not an attractive unit to start in your fantasy championship. The Jets, understandably, got gashed by Lamar Jackson and the Ravens last week but also played poorly vs […]
Don't Start Daniel Brown Or Trevon Wesco
New York Jets tight ends Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco will likely split snaps again this Sunday versus Pittsburgh, with Brown the one likely to see more work in the passing game. Brown and Wesco are third and fourth on the Jets depth chart with starter Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) and backup Ryan Griffin (ankle) […]
Jamison Crowder Startable Despite Tough Matchup
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder exploded for 90 yards and two touchdowns last week in Baltimore and is a startable option again this week despite another tough AFC North opponent. Pittsburgh is a daunting matchup, but Crowder has gotten at least seven targets in four of his last five games including a team-high […]
Le'Veon Bell Faces Tough Matchup In Revenge Game
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell likely circled Sunday's matchup with the Steelers the day it was announced, but will face an uphill battle to find fantasy production vs his former team. Pittsburgh has one of the strongest defenses in the league allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. Bell, on the […]
Sam Darnold An Unappealing Option In Week 16
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has limited the turnovers that plagued him earlier in the season, but is still not producing at a level that would make him a strong play in fantasy. Darnold has eclipsed 300 passing yards just once in his last nine games and has more than two touchdowns just once […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 16) - Targets and Avoids
The Atlanta Falcons delivered the biggest blow in Week 15 to whatever remains of survivor pools with a last-second win against the 49ers as 10-point road dogs. Just more than six percent of entrants took the Niners on Run Your Pool's site-wide distribution pick. That's because San Fran was the sixth-most selected team. There was only […]
Benching Star Players? Don't Dance With Who Brung Ya
The common adage is to "start your studs" or, in more folksy terms, "dance with the one who brung ya." The common thought between it all is simply that certain guys on your team have been solid for you all year and gotten you into the finals or 3rd place game, where you're playing for […]
Robby Anderson, Demaryius Thomas Miss Practice
New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (illness) and Demaryius Thomas (ankle, knee) are not practicing on Thursday. Thomas also missed practice on Wednesday, so he's not in a good spot to return in Week 16 against the Steelers. Vyncint Smith filled in for DT last week as the third wideout, but he's not a […]
Jets Defense Could Get Jamal Adams Back
New York Jets safety Jamal Adams (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday and said the chances of him playing in Week 16 against the Steelers are "very high." The 24-year-old has been out since Dec. 1. He's one of the key pieces of the entire Jets Defense, so his return would be excellent news as […]
Demaryius Thomas Will Not Practice
New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) will not practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 15. He's not on the right track towards returning in Week 16 against the Steelers, and the veteran wideout might not play again the final two weeks of the season. DT has only 36 receptions for […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 16
It's Week 16. It's Championship Week. If you've made it this far, you undoubtedly know the drill. It's also less likely you're in need of a player to pick up from the bowels of the waiver wire. But just for consistency sake and to ensure no championship-bound teams are left in the lurch, I'm going […]
Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
Kenyan Drake, Mike Boone, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller, Ryan Tannehill, and Tyler Higbee were all freely available on waivers at some point this season, if not last week. These are the type of players that become unexpected league-winners and this is why you never stop playing the wire up until the curtain is drawn on […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 16)
This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 16 Lightning Round
After injuries destroyed many a playoff hope in Week 14, we saw some heroes rise from the ashes to guide us through Week 15. Still, injuries to Dalvin Cook, Chris Godwin and others would keep the medical industry afloat as the season winds down. There's no shortage of waiver action heading into the traditional FF […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target In Week 15
In Week 14, DeAndre Hopkins and Michael Thomas were the high-end options that came through with solid performances, both finishing in the top-five even though they had fairly tough matchups. A.J.

NFL DFS Cash Game Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 15)
Make the most of this 13-game slate this week, because next week the Saturday triple-header will bring us back down to an 11-game Sunday slate. The key message this week is about injuries. Last week was extremely tough for season-long and dynasty formats, but in DFS those injuries produce opportunities. Whether it is the established […]
NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 15) - Targets and Avoids
Week 13 was a pretty chalky one with just three underdogs winning outright. The biggest upset was the Broncos absolutely annihilating the Houston Texans who were still celebrating their "Super Bowl" win against the Patriots the week prior. Three weeks remain and I'd be a fool to think there are hundreds who are reading this […]
