Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

After the opening week of the NFL season, the toughest decision for fantasy football owners was which rookie receiver to take a chance on. Following Week 2, we now have to decide which 49er has a chance to return fantasy value on a consistent basis. A few key injuries may provide for interesting adds as […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

Week 2 solidified some waiver-wire adds as more than flashes in the pan, while other Week 1 studs followed that up with a flop. Whether you're coasting towards an easy 2-0 start, in the thick of it at 1-1 or up against it with an 0-2 team, you never stop improving. Stay tuned as injury updates […]

Jets Defense Silenced By Browns

The New York Jets Defense had three sacks, one interception and gave up 23 points in a lopsided loss to the Browns on Monday night. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams talked a big game in the week leading up to this matchup, but they couldn't back it up and got torched for 161 yards by Odell […]

Ty Montgomery Gets Six Touches Monday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery had three carries for 25 yards and three catches for 15 yards in a loss to Cleveland Monday. Montgomery was a hot waiver wire add earlier in the week with Le'Veon Bell questionable with a shoulder injury but Bell was fine and handled the lion's share of the […]

Sam Ficken Makes Lone Field-Goal Attempt

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken made a 46-yard field goal on his only attempt of the night in a 23-3 loss to the Browns Monday. The home crowd didn't have much to cheer for but erupted when Ficken's kick sailed through the uprights after the Jets kicking disaster last week against the Bills. Ficken […]

Ryan Griffin Gets One Target Monday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin got one target that he didn't catch in a 23-3 loss against the Browns Monday night. Griffin now has only five targets through two games and is not a viable fantasy option in any format, especially given the Jets are likely to be starting a third-string quarterback next […]

Jamison Crowder Goes For 40 Yards Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder caught four passes for 40 yards on six targets in a 23-3 loss to the Browns Monday night. A week after tying the Jets record for catches in a game Crowder was seldom used tonight with the Jets playing backup quarterbacks and RB Le'Veon Bell getting most of […]

Luke Falk Serviceable In Relief Appearance

New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk completed 20 passes in 25 attempts for 198 yards coming off the bench Monday night. Falk had no touchdowns and no interceptions in emergency duty after Trevor Siemian (ankle) left with an injury in the first half. Given the situation, Falk played a decent game but is not someone […]

Robby Anderson Goes For 81 Yards Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson caught four passes for 81 yards on six targets Monday night against the Browns. Overall it was a good game for Anderson given the Jets started the game with backup QB Trevor Siemian and finished it with third-stringer Luke Falk running the offense. Anderson has always been a […]

Le'Veon Bell The Lone Bright Spot For Jets

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell carried the ball 21 times for 68 yards and had 10 receptions for 61 yards in a 23-3 loss to the Browns Monday night. The Jets offense could do nothing with Trevor Siemian and Luke Falk playing quarterback, but Bell was still able to put up a decent […]

Demaryius Thomas Injures Ankle Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (ankle) suffered an ankle injury on Monday night against the Browns and is out for the rest of the game. Thomas had just one catch for minus-one yard on two targets. To be fair, Thomas was making his debut with the team and was taking passes from backup […]

Trevor Siemian Suffers Injury Monday

New York Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian (ankle) suffered what looked to be a serious ankle injury in the second quarter on Monday night against the Browns. Siemian was hit hard and got his ankle caught underneath him while being taken to the turf. Somehow he was able to walk off the field under his own […]

C.J. Mosley, Quinnen Williams Out Monday Night

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and rookie defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) both missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Monday night against the Browns. Mosley is one of the best all-around linebackers in the game when he's healthy, so his absence is a major downgrade for Gang Green's interior […]

Le'Veon Bell, Demaryius Thomas Active Against Browns

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) are both active on Monday night against the Browns. Bell was expected to play all along, and he should see plenty of touches against Cleveland, especially in the short passing game as a crutch for quarterback Trevor Siemian. Thomas will be […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 9/16/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Considered one of the big winners of the NFL offseason, the Cleveland Browns fell flat in Week One, losing 43-13 at home against Tennessee. The Jets not only blew a 16-0 lead to lose 17-16 to Buffalo in Week One but their lineup has been decimated by injuries with quarterback Sam Darnold, linebacker C.J. Mosley […]

Demaryius Thomas Questionable Against Browns

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is questionable to play on Monday night against the Browns in Week 2. Thomas hasn't practiced all week and is probably on the wrong side of questionable for this one. Quincy Enunwa's season-ending injury is good news for Thomas having a role with Gang Green this year, […]

Le'Veon Bell Limited In Practice Saturday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is officially questionable for the game Monday night against the Browns.
