Week 11 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 10, more so than many others before it, showed us the value of playing against a bad offense (although, clearly, the Ravens didn't get the memo). Despite having mediocre defenses for fantasy purposes, teams like the Raiders, Packers, and Saints all finished inside the top-10, thanks to the lack of firepower from their opposition. […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 11

The waiver wire players available in your fantasy football leagues by the end of Week 11 are not going to win you a championship singlehandedly, but they could help you win this week and propel your squad into the playoffs. Fantasy football managers must deal with another four teams being on bye, although three of […]

Brandon Aiyuk Placed On COVID List

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been placed on the team's COVID list. He'll need to test negative for the virus time days in a row to be cleared to return to the field. With San Fran on a bye this week, there's still plenty of time for Aiyuk to be back for […]

Playoff Tight End Streamers: ROS Schedules to Attack

The tight end position has been a crapshoot all year, which even the seemingly dependable options like Zach Ertz, George Kittle, and Mark Andrews either hurt or failing to meet expectations. That has left the landscape as Travis Kelce and a whole bunch of other guys, which has amounted to a massive headache for fantasy […]

Javon Kinlaw Placed On COVID-19 List

The San Francisco 49ers placed rookie defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The first-round has recorded 22 tackles (10 solo), three quarterback hits, three passes defensed and 1.5 sacks in 10 games (eight starts) to begin his NFL career. Even if Kinlaw actually tested positive for COVID-19, he should have plenty […]

The San Francisco 49ers claimed former Falcons first-round defensive end Takkarist McKinley off waivers from the Bengals on Wednesday, according to a source. The Bengals claimed McKinley off waivers from the Falcons but put him back on waivers when he failed a physical. The 25-year-old hasn't played since Week 7 due to a groin injury […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 10

This series continues into its tenth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 10, we saw performances such as the Houston Texans running backs combining for 54 rushing yards, Alex Smith throwing for 390 yards, and the Tennessee Titans […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 10's Studs Turned Duds

Week 10 was a welcome reprieve. There was little disappointment around fantasy circles when it comes to studs coming up short. After all, it's hard to be disappointed when you've lost all confidence to begin with. Just look at the tight end position. There was no stud who came up short in Week 10 because […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It was another one of those weeks where third-string tight ends were scoring touchdowns and All-Pro players were completely shut down. Just remember process > results when making your add/drop decisions. The waiver wire is more important in 2020 than ever. The players suggested here should be top priorities for early-week waiver claims; keep the […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

It is getting down to the nitty-gritty for fantasy football general managers this week. Yes, I said the NITTY-GRITTY! Week 11 is one of the most crucial weeks for fantasy footballers if they participate in leagues. This is when playoff spots are secured or flushed down the toilet. San Francisco’s George Kittle has left fantasy […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 11

Week 10 was a brutal affair for most fantasy squads, especially if you rely on production from the quarterback position. Only six quarterbacks surpassed 300 yards passing on the week, and of those only three had more than one passing touchdown. As a whole, only three quarterbacks were able to throw for at least three […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

Week 10 brought horrible weather and the frontrunner for Play of the Year with the Kyler Murray-DeAndre Hopkins Hail Mary reception. We even stayed relatively clean as far as injuries went, with QBs bearing the brunt of it. Drew Brees has a rib injury, Teddy Bridgewater left with a knee injury but may return next […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 11

The countdown to Thursday is on and this week we have a spectacular matchup. Since last week was very underwhelming for fantasy, this game couldn’t come at a better time. So far in the TNF breakdowns, I have covered games involving Brett Rypien, Nick Mullens, and Joe Flacco - I can’t tell you how excited […]

San Francisco Eyes Week 12 Return For Deebo Samuel

The hope, per San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, is that wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) will return in time to play Week 12 versus the Rams. Samuel has been sidelined since Week 7 due to a hamstring injury, leaving Brandon Aiyuk, Richie James, Kendrick Bourne, and Trent Taylor to take over bigger roles […]

JaMycal Hasty Lands On Injured Reserve With Broken Collarbone

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back JaMycal Hasty (collarbone) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, ruling him out for at least the next three games. Fortunately for the 49ers, their hope is to have both Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (knee) back for the Week 12 matchup against the Rams, which would have […]

Jimmy Garoppolo In 49ers Plans In 2021

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) has his status for playing again in 2020 up in the air, but that hasn't quelled speculation around his future with the franchise beyond this year. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday, "I expect Jimmy Garoppolo to be our starter next year," even as the injured QB is […]

Week 10 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 10 was fairly low scoring and it seemed like we saw a lot of touchdowns scored by low-end guys such as Willie Snead, DaeSean Hamilton, Cameron Brate and Rex Burkhead. Tom Brady led the week at quarterback while Kyler Murray and Josh Allen rounded out the top-three. Tight end was extremely rough this week […]

49ers Put Arik Armstead On COVID-19 List

The San Francisco 49ers placed defensive lineman Arik Armstead on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. It's unclear if Armstead tested positive for COVID-19 or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who did. Either way, he'll have plenty of time to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols with their bye coming in […]

49ers Defense Gives Up 27 Points In Week 10

The 49ers Defense wasn't able to contain star running back Alvin Kamara in their Week 10 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Kamara scored two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown en route to a 27-13 Saints win. The 49ers Defense managed to come up with two fumble recoveries and three sacks and they held […]

Ross Dwelley Has Just One Catch In Week 10

San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley had a quiet game in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. He was only targeted twice in the game and came up with one catch for 22 yards. Fellow tight end Jordan Reed, meanwhile, saw six targets in the game and caught five of them for 62 […]

Jordan Reed Catches Five Passes In Week 10

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jordan Reed had a solid showing in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. Reed caught five of his six targets for 62 yards. He was second on the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets, trailing only Brandon Aiyuk in all three categories. More importantly, perhaps, is that he […]
