Another week, more upsets. The Cowboys, Chiefs and Chargers all went down knocking out about 15-20 percent of remaining entrants in survivor pools, including myself.

Jets Defense Getting Healthy Ahead Of Tough Test

The New York Jets Defense is getting star middle linebacker C.J. Mosley back for a tough Monday night matchup vs the Patriots. Mosley was a monster in the one game he played this season forcing two turnovers and scoring a touchdown in a Week 1 loss to Buffalo. The Jets defense hasn't looked the same […]

Demaryius Thomas Not A Starting Option Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has a rough matchup Monday against a Patriots Defense that allows the fewest fantasy points against to opposing wide receivers. Thomas got five targets last week, so he's been getting more involved in the offense, but is still not seeing the type of target share to warrant consideration […]

Jamison Crowder Is A Risky Play Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder will face a tough test Monday when the Patriots No. 1 ranked pass defense comes to town. New England allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and shut down Crowder in Week 3 when they held him to only 25 yards on two catches. Third-string quarterback […]

Le'Veon Bell Offers High Floor Monday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will face a tough matchup Monday night when the Patriots elite defense heads to MetLife Stadium. New England allows the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, so it's a tough matchup for Bell, but he should put up RB2 numbers based on volume. Bell has played 92.2 percent […]

Robby Anderson Hoping To Finally Solve Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson will look to change his fortunes against the Patriots in a tough matchup Monday. In seven career games against New England, Anderson hasn't scored a touchdown and his 39.5 percent catch rate is by far his lowest mark against any team he's faced more than once. This season, […]

Chris Herndon IV Misses Practice Again

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday. Herndon remains week-to-week and is doubtful to suit up on Monday night against the Patriots.

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 7 (10/20/19)

We split the card in Week 6 and overall it was a solid week to bet on the NFL. New Orleans was able to hang on and win outright, while the Broncos not only shut out the Titans in the first half but didn't allow a mark the entire game. Compared to the week prior, […]

Demaryius Thomas Limited Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) was limited in practice on Thursday. Thomas should be fine to play on Monday night against the Patriots. The 31-year-old is a little bit more attractive to fantasy owners with quarterback Sam Darnold back under center. Thomas has eight catches for 109 scoreless yards the last two […]

Chris Herndon IV Not Practicing Thursday

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) remains out of practice on Thursday. Herndon is a long shot at this point to play on Monday night against the Patriots, so you shouldn't be considering using him as your starting tight end. He could potentially have some TE1 upside in this offense led by […]

C.J. Mosley Says He's Playing Monday

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) said that he will play on Monday night against the Patriots. Mosley has been out since the season opener with a severe groin injury, but it looks like he's targeting this Monday as his return to action.

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 7

The bye week difficulties continue this week with Carolina, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay all getting their rest in Week 7.

Running Back Metrics That Matter - NFL NextGen Stats

It's been a month--a full month!--since the last time we took a look at our beloved running backs. I don't think there is a hotter topic of discussion between pro- and anti-analytics than rushing. The guys fighting for stat-supremacy are all about using the passing game as much as possible while ditching the run; the […]

Chris Herndon IV Remains Week-To-Week

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) remains week-to-week with his hamstring injury. Herndon is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Patriots on Monday night, and fantasy owners should look in another direction. However, he will be the team's top pass-catching tight end and is worth a stash for tight end-need […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 6 Outliers

In Week 6, several players exploded in fantasy lineups. There were a few receivers that were above the rest of the pack in Week 6, such as Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Chris Godwin and Tyreek Hill, but there shouldn't be any surprises there as those guys should have been in fantasy lineups. At the quarterback […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

We weren't really surprised by the top-scoring fantasy wide receivers from Week 6. Out of the top-20 receivers, only Jamison Crowder, Auden Tate and Jaron Brown were less than 50% owned. Jaron Brown (0% owned) was only targeted five times but he scored two touchdowns off of those five targets. Auden Tate (23% owned) hauled […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

The Jets are back! OK, maybe not back because they were never here but at least there's some actual hope and fantasy value to be had from a previously winless team. The tight end landscape has changed drastically again, as Hunter Henry returns right at 60% ownership, while breakout second-year Seahawk Will Dissly's season appears […]

Jets Defense Has Quiet Fantasy Day Vs Dallas

The New York Jets Defense had a good game against the Cowboys on Sunday, but didn't put up many fantasy points for their effort. The Jets didn't force a turnover in the game and only had one sack, even with the Cowboys starting two backups on the offensive line. The Jets defense should be getting […]
