Sam Ficken Makes All Four Kicks Sunday

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken made a 38-yard field goal, and was 3-for-3 on extra points in a win over the Cowboys Sunday. It was a drama-free afternoon in the kicking department for the Jets with Ficken looking good on all of his kicks today. Ficken had a good day, but shouldn't be a […]

Sam Darnold Impresses In Return

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed 23 of 32 passes for 338 yards in his return to the lineup Sunday. Darnold threw two touchdowns and one interception in his first game since Week 1. Darnold missed three games with mono, but provided a huge boost to a Jets offense that had averaged the fewest […]

Ty Montgomery Gets Three Targets Sunday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery made three catches on three targets for 17 yards in a win over the Cowboys Sunday. Montgomery didn't get a carry in the game as head coach Adam Gase continues to feature Le'Veon Bell. Montgomery's three targets were more than Bell today, but Bell had 14 of the […]

Ryan Griffin Scores First Touchdown Of Season

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin caught three passes, including a five-yard touchdown, for a season-high 28 yards in a win over the Cowboys Sunday. Griffin only had six catches for 17 yards on the season coming into today so this game won't make him fantasy relevant. Griffin was starting in place of Chris […]

Demaryius Thomas Getting More Involved In Offense

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas made four catches for 62 yards in a win over the Cowboys Sunday. The 62 yards are the most Thomas has gained in three games played this season, and he has been getting more involved in the offense overall. On the Jets second drive, the first goal-to-go snap […]

Jamison Crowder Racks Up 98 Yards Vs Cowboys

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder made six catches for 98 yards in a win over the Cowboys Sunday.

In two games […]

Le'Veon Bell Scores For First Time Since Week 1

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell carried the ball 14 times for 50 yards and scored his first touchdown since a receiving score in Week 1 vs Buffalo. Bell has been the centerpiece of the Jets offense so far playing a 94.3 percent snap share coming into the game, and head coach Adam Gase […]

Robby Anderson Explodes For 125 Yards

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson caught five passes for 125 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Cowboys Sunday. It was a badly needed breakout game for Anderson who had only 131 yards total in four games before his huge game today. Anderson made the play of the game hauling in […]

It's typically a good rule of thumb to invest in good offenses when playing fantasy football.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets and Avoids

The two double-digit favorites, Patriots and Eagles, did their part Sunday cruising to wins. However the Bears “great and vaunted” defense allows yet another game-winning drive, the Broncos Defense stifles the Chargers, and the Chiefs lose outright to the Colts at home knocking tons of entrants out in survivor. I rightly gave out the Patriots […]

Stash Running Backs the Right Way

For those who don't know, I am the #AllBenchRB guy and I will reiterate what that means if you didn't peep my primer last year. I believe that your bench should be filled with RBs. RBs are the most injury prone and RB depth charts the most variable providing you with the greatest opportunity to […]

Jets Defense Shorthanded Again Sunday

The New York Jets Defense will be shorthanded again Sunday in a home matchup with a Cowboys offense that is currently leading the NFL in total offense. Star linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and defensive end Henry Anderson (shoulder) are both "highly unlikely" to play, though neither has officially been ruled out. In addition to missing […]

Sam Ficken Hoping For More Opportunity

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken hasn't played much this season with the Jets offense struggling to get anything going. In three weeks, Ficken has only attempted two field goals, converting one, and has only had two extra-point attempts. Ficken wasn't on an NFL roster to start the season and was signed after the Jets […]

Ryan Griffin Will Start Again Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin will start again Sunday with Chris Herndon (hamstring) still not playing. Week 6 was supposed to be the time Herndon returned from a four-game suspension, but a hamstring injury will keep Griffin on the field. Despite an extended time as the starter, Griffin hasn't done anything to make […]

Jamison Crowder Looking To Bounce Back Vs Dallas

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder will look to turn his season around Sunday when he'll reunite with starting quarterback Sam Darnold. Crowder made 14 catches on 17 targets in Week 1 with Darnold on the field, but Crowder has disappointed since then. In three games without Darnold, Crowder has put up only 75 […]

Robby Anderson In Line For Another Tough Matchup

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson has disappointed fantasy owners so far this season. He is yet to score a touchdown and has 23 yards of less in three of four games. Having starting QB Sam Darnold back on Sunday should help Anderson some, but the fourth-year receiver still faces a brutal test this […]
