Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

After Week 1 saw defenses slow down rusty offenses, Week 2 had the offenses flipping the script. Offenses were scoring touchdowns and moving the ball with much more success. In Week 3, that trend is likely going to continue. Offenses are getting more in sync especially when it comes to quarterbacks. Several starting NFL quarterbacks […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]

Essential Fantasy Football Running Back Handcuffs: Get 'Em Now

When James Conner left last Sunday’s game with a knee injury, his owners immediately consulted their league’s free-agent list to see if Jaylen Samuels was available.

This week, Kyle Allen will start in place of Cam Newton for Carolina against […]

Demaryius Thomas, C.J. Mosley Doubtful Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee), linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) are all doubtful for Week 3 against the Patriots. Thomas caught one pass on Monday night for negative yardage before his injury. He's week-to-week and is off the fantasy radar, especially with third-string quarterback Luke […]

Ty Montgomery Expected To Play Sunday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery was excused from practice on Friday due to personal reasons. Montgomery is expected to be active in Week 3 on the road against the Patriots. As expected, T-Mont has taken a back seat to the bell cow in this offense in Le'Veon Bell. The 26-year-old has just five […]

Demaryius Thomas Not Practicing Again Friday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (knee, hamstring) will not practice again Friday, making him unlikely to suit up Sunday in New England. Thomas made only one catch Monday night against the Browns before departing with an injury and has not practiced yet this week. The Jets have their bye next week, so it […]

Josh Bellamy Could Be Third Receiver Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Bellamy could see an expanded role this Sunday at the Patriots. Bellamy played only six snaps in Week 1 but upped that number to 45 snaps this past Monday against Cleveland and could be in line for more work this week with Demaryius Thomas (hamstring/knee) unlikely to play this […]

Jets Defense Should Not Be Started This Week

The New York Jets Defense faces one of the toughest matchups the NFL has to offer this Sunday, a road game in New England. Through two weeks the Patriots offense has scored 76 points, the second-most in the league. Additionally, the Jets could be without star middle linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and starting defensive lineman […]

Jamison Crowder A Flex Option On Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder will look to bounce back Sunday against the Patriots after the Browns held him in check Monday night. Crowder had a whopping 14 catches in Week 1, but was held to just four receptions for 40 yards Monday night and now faces a tough road matchup with third-string […]

Sam Ficken Not Recommended On Sunday

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken will make his second start on Sunday after being signed prior to last week's game against the Browns. The Jets cut kicker Kaare Vedvik after struggling mightily in Week 1 and signed Ficken after trying out multiple kickers last week. In the game Monday, Ficken converted his lone field […]

Breaking Down the New Crop of Young Quarterbacks

We're entering the third week of the 2019 regular season. Heck, teams are just one-eighth through their seasons. But we've already seen--or will see--as many as eight new players unexpectedly taking on starting quarterback duties! All of them came into 2019 with a backup role attached to their name. Be it because of injury (Drew […]

Ty Montgomery Still Looking For More Work

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery has been a non-factor in the offense through two weeks. Montgomery became a hot name early last week when starter Le'Veon Bell was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but Bell wound up playing Monday and out-touched Montgomery 31-6. Through two weeks, Montgomery has only five carries […]

Le'Veon Bell A Starting Option Despite Tough Matchup

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will face a tough test on Sunday against a Patriots Defense that is second in the league in allowing only 37 rushing yards per game, and they've only allowed three points through two weeks. The Jets have had a hard time getting the running game going, as Bell […]

Luke Falk Ready For First Career Start

New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk is confident heading into his first NFL start despite facing one of the worst matchups possible, an away game at New England.

Jets Defense Not Expected To Have C.J. Mosley

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) is not expected to play in Week 3 against the Patriots.
