Week 16 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It's Championship week in most fantasy football leagues, and a rough week to be streaming quarterbacks at that.

Stay […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Elijah McGuire Questionable For Week 15

New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday against the Texans. McGuire was limited in practice to close out the week, so he should be able to suit up. With Isaiah Crowell (toe) out, McGuire should lead Gang Green in backfield touches and will be on the RB3/flex radar […]

Isaiah Crowell, Quincy Enunwa Ruled Out

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 15 against the Texans on Saturday. Elijah McGuire is likely to lead the backfield in touches now in a tough matchup with Houston. Consider him an RB3/flex option in deeper leagues. Rookie Trenton Cannon should […]

Isaiah Crowell Not Practicing Thursday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) is missing his third straight day of practice on Thursday. Crowell was spotted wearing a walking boot earlier this week and hasn't practiced all week, so we'd be surprised if he played in Week 15 against the Texans on Saturday. Expect Elijah McGuire and Trenton Cannon to […]

New York Jets running backs Elijah McGuire (ankle) and Trenton Cannon (toe) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out on Tuesday.

Isaiah Crowell Out Again Wednesday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Wednesday. Crowell was seen wearing a walking boot on Tuesday and seems unlikely to play on Saturday against the Texans. Don't plan on using him in the fantasy semifinals. Elijah McGuire and Trenton Cannon should split the […]

Isaiah Crowell Wearing Walking Boot

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) is wearing a walking boot on his left foot, and he said that "the pain was excruciating" on Sunday after he was injured against the Bills. Crowell didn't practice on Tuesday and is looking unlikely to face the Texans on Saturday in Week 15. Elijah McGuire could […]

All Three Jets Running Backs Miss Practice

New York Jets running backs Isaiah Crowell (toe), Elijah McGuire (ankle) and rookie Trenton Cannon (toe) missed practice on Tuesday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon will lose some ownership this week after hauling in just one catch for 14 yards.

Isaiah Crowell Sitting Out Tuesday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) missed practice on Tuesday. While Crowell typically plays through injuries, his fantasy owners should really be worried with the team's Week 15 game on Saturday this week and because of the fact that Crowell had only three touches in the Week 14 win over the Bills. Expect […]
