Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - NFC North

In an effort to write these columns before the start of the season, I thought I'd get some help on this issue. So I asked my wife, who is a big Green Bay Packers fan, what her thoughts were on the 2018 fantasy football season. As a note, my wife is a highly regarded researcher […]

Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated and Undervalued?

Why? Why is it so hard for analysts and fantasy players to give Kirk Cousins any respect? By this point in time he must be feeling like Rodney Dangerfield. Yes, he is going to a new team with a new offense. But this is where the hardship stops. Despite obvious upgrades across the field and […]

Elijah McGuire Put On IR

The New York Jets placed running back Elijah McGuire (foot) on Injured Reserve on Monday. They signed linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu in a corresponding move.

Jermaine Kearse, Elijah McGuire Not Practicing Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (abdomen) and running back Elijah McGuire (foot) did not practice on Monday. Neither Kearse nor McGuire will suit up for Week 1.

Enunwa looks […]

Last-Round Wide Receiver Lottery Tickets

As draft season nears its end, it is important to remember that there is good value late in the drafts.

2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Quincy Enunwa

Nothing went right for the New York Jets in 2017.

With Enunwa out for the season, Robby Anderson was […]

Jason Myers Has Job With Jets For Now

New York Jets placekicker Jason Myers edged out Taylor Bertolet for the starting job in the preseason, but it's uncertain if he'll open the season in that capacity.

Chris Herndon, Jordan Leggett Head Up Tight Ends

The New York Jets elected to keep tight ends Chris Herndon, Jordan Leggett, Eric Tomlinson and Neal Sterling after announcing their 53-man roster over the weekend. The surprise was not that they retained four tight ends, but that Clive Walford was cut loose. He ended up being productive in training camp and the preseason, so […]

Robby Anderson, Jermaine Kearse Head Up Wideout Corps

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson is the undisputed No. 1 receiver for the Jets, while 2017 breakout Jermaine Kearse is expected to start opposite Anderson when healthy. Quincy Enunwa and Terrelle Pryor will work as the No. 3 and 4 receivers, while Charone Peake and Andre Roberts also made the team. The team […]

Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell Head Up Backfield

New York Jets running backs Isaiah Crowell and Bilal Powell will be the top two ball carriers for the team, with Elijah McGuire, Trenton Cannon and Lawrence Thomas fighting for scraps.

Jets To Work Out Dan Bailey On Monday

The New York Jets will work out free-agent placekicker Dan Bailey (Cowboys) on Monday.

Jets Cut Clive Walford

The New York Jets cut tight end Clive Walford after attempting to trade him and finding no takers, according to sources. The Jets are going with Eric Tomlinson, Jordan Leggett, Neal Sterling and rookie Chris Herndon IV at the position. Nobody from this group is fantasy relevant.

Thomas Rawls Doesn't Make Final Roster

The New York Jets cut running back Thomas Rawls on Saturday, according to a source. The move was expected, as Rawls was hurt most of the summer. Gang Greene will go with Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell, rookie Trenton Cannon and Elijah McGuire in their backfield to kick off the regular season.

Jets Release Charcandrick West, Taylor Bertolet

The New York Jets released running back Charcandrick West and place kicker Taylor Bertolet this weekend as they trimmed their final roster down to 53 players.

Breshad Perriman To Work Out For Jets

Free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman (Ravens) is scheduled to work out for the New York Jets on Monday, a source said.

Stop The Slander - 2018 Is a Prime Year for Zero RB

As fantasy football gets bigger, and access to information comes easier, sometimes you have to zig when everyone else zags.

Later-Round Wide Receivers Who'll Outperform Their ADP

This season, the running back position is back in vogue. The year of the Zero RB strategy has come and gone and now running backs are the toast of the town once again.

Chris Carson (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~70 CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: Chris Carson looked great in his short time on the field last year, and despite running behind one of the worst offensive lines averaged 4.2 yards per carry. He also caught seven of his eight targets while averaging 14.8 yards per catch. Rookie Rashaad Penny is dealing with a […]

Sam Darnold Learning From Mistakes

One of the reasons why New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold is expected to start in Week 1 is that he has learned from his mistakes quickly in training camp and the preseason. “He learns from his mistakes, that’s the biggest thing,” head coach Todd Bowles said from his office earlier this week. “He […]
