The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 5)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Jeffrey Wilson (RB, SF) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We shouldn't lie to us by hailing Jeffrey Wilson as the next big thing. He isn't such a player, far from it. But he could be on his way to be the ultimate vulture and fantasy weapon if San Francisco keeps using […]

Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: We keep saying over and over again that tight end is a wasteland.

Week 4 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

As you've probably figured out already, fantasy football is a roller coaster ride. It's give and take. It's one step forward, two steps backwards most of the time. No game in Week 3 encapsulates this more than Bucs-Giants. Tampa's stud wideout Mike Evans had six catches for 89 scoreless yards through two weeks. Then he […]

Week 4 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

Nothing like saving the worst game of the week for last. In another forgettable matchup of winless teams, the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Pittsburgh to take on the almost as bad Steelers and Mason Rudolph. If I were ESPN at this point, I would be asking for a refund from the NFL. Or at least a […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 4

Week 3 was an exciting one, with big injuries, big comebacks, and big debuts. Also, another blowout loss by the Miami Dolphins as they continue the unprecedented Great Tanking of 2019.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 4

The legend of Gardner Minshew just keeps on rolling.

Despite valiant efforts from Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (300 passing yards, 34 rushing yards) […]

Dee Ford May Need Surgery After Season

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (knee) might need offseason surgery on his left knee, but he plans to play through it like he did in 2018 when he had a career-high 13 sacks for the Chiefs. Ford played through knee tendinitis, a quadriceps injury and a torn groin last season. He's been questionable […]

Jeffery Wilson Could Be Odd Man Out Soon

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson could be the odd man out of the backfield when Tevin Coleman (ankle) returns from his high ankle sprain. San Francisco is going with a three-man committee since Coleman went down in Week 1, with Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert and Wilson all chipping in. Wilson has carried the […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Daniel Jones. That's where this article will begin and end. As one of the many analysts who mocked the Giants on draft day and held heavy skepticism about his prospects as an NFL quarterback, let me be the first to issue a formal apology to Mr. Jones. Of course, Giants fans know they can't have […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

The better part of three weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

There are millions of fantasy football owners who probably need a tight end this week, one that can somehow replace one of the best tight ends in the NFL. The first bye week is upon us, and many fantasy owners will take a J.J. Watt-like hit at the tight end position because San Francisco’s George […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

This was a crazy week at the quarterback position, as the backups came out to play. We saw big performances from Daniel Jones, Kyle Allen, Gardner Minshew, and Teddy Bridgewater that few saw coming.
