Sam Darnold Looks To Spark Jets Offense
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (mono) has been medically cleared to play and will lead the Jets offense Sunday when the Cowboys come to town.

Le'Veon Bell A High-End RB2 Sunday
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will look to find the end zone for the first time since Week 1 on Sunday in a matchup with the Cowboys. Bell has had a solid floor in fantasy by playing 94.3 percent of the offensive snaps and leading the team in targets. His dominance in playing […]

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sam Darnold is finally back--or so he should be. Everything pointed to a Week 5 return, but Darnold himself and the Jets staff both deemed it too risky to push the sophomore to make an appearance this early. But Week 6 will see […]

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring), who suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain while running routes last Friday, is out this week and likely next week, according to a source.

C.J. Mosley Not Expected To Play In Week 6
New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) missed practice on Wednesday and is not expected to play in Week 6 against the Cowboys.

Warning Signs: Stefon Diggs, Le'Veon Bell, Baker Mayfield
Another week, another surprising loss. At least this one did not take place on American soil. The Raiders took down the Bears in London, proving no one really knows what is going to happen any given week in the NFL. It also looks like there really is no dominant team in the NFC. This works for […]
Chris Herndon IV Won't Practice Wednesday
New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring), who is eligible to return in Week 6 from his suspension, will not practice on Wednesday after injuring himself running routes last week.

Sam Darnold Cleared, Will Return Sunday
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (mono) has officially been medically cleared to return to the field and will start in Week 6 when the Jets take on the Cowboys.

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 5 Outliers
In Week 5, there were several players that exploded in fantasy lineups, scoring multiple touchdowns. Wide receivers Will Fuller, Michael Thomas, D.J. Chark, Adam Thielen, Chris Godwin and Allen Robinson all had multiple receiving touchdowns and should have been in fantasy lineups in leagues of all sizes. Although these studs had huge performances, Week 5 […]

Assisting 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 Acquisition Budget (FAAB).

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
If you thought the waiver wire was getting barer every passing week, you would be correct. These days, a half-decent running back can't gain more than two yards without getting snatched up by desperate fantasy owners. The wide receiver position is more promising, however. While there aren't many surprises at QB or TE, the first […]
Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6
Time flies in the NFL. It seems like the season just started, but now five weeks of football action are behind us. Sunday was a day headlined by some of the league's heavy hitters. The top 11 scoring wide receivers from Thursday and the Sunday noon slate were 70 percent owned or better, so this […]

If you have Oakland’s Darren Waller as the top tight end on your fantasy football team, then you are going to need a replacement this week. This is the first four-team bye week of the season, so not only will fantasy owners be without Waller, they will also have to go in other directions if […]

Demaryius Thomas (WR, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets -- yes, that's right, New York Jets -- wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has had a roller coaster couple of years. He started 2018 on the only team he's never known, the Denver Broncos. Then he was traded to Houston, […]
Jets Defense Can't Do Much In Philadelphia
The New York Jets Defense allowed 19 points to the Eagles while only recording one sack Sunday afternoon. They also recovered a fumble on a muffed punt which set the offense up at the 19-yard line. Linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) didn't play and the defense was put in some […]
Demaryius Thomas Tied For Jets Lead In Targets
New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas made four catches for 47 yards in a loss to the Eagles Sunday.

The positive sign for fantasy owners […]
Ty Montgomery, Bilal Powell Total Three Touches
New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery had two carries for one yard and Bilal Powell had one carry for four yards in a loss to the Eagles Sunday. Neither running back had a target in the passing game. Before the season, head coach Adam Gase said the Jets would not work starting running back […]
Jamison Crowder Silent In Philadelphia
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder made two catches for 10 yards on only three targets in an ugly loss to the Eagles on Sunday. The Jets offense could get nothing going with third-string QB Luke Falk starting behind an offensive line that allowed 10 sacks on the afternoon. Crowder made 14 catches in […]
Vyncint Smith Scores In First Game With Jets
New York Jets wide receiver Vyncint Smith rushed for a 19-yard touchdown on an end-around in his first game after signing with the Jets.

Luke Falk Struggles Again Sunday
New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk had an afternoon to forget Sunday in Philadelphia. Falk completed 15 of 26 passes for only 120 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. In fairness to Falk both of his starts were on the road in tough matchups, but he has made it abundantly clear he is not […]
Robby Anderson Quiet Again Sunday
New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson had another quiet afternoon Sunday catching just one of three targets for 16 yards. There was hope for Anderson coming into the game against an Eagles Defense that allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, but the Jets offense could get nothing going with third-string QB […]
Le'Veon Bell Totals 88 Yards
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell rushed for 43 yards on 15 carries while racking up 45 receiving yards on seven receptions in a loss to the Eagles.
