Trade your Studs?

I debated writing this article and risking my reputation as a super famous sportswriter by suggesting such a controversial strategy. But then I realized without risk, like grabbing Ja’Marr Chase in the sixth round, there is no glory. Back to the topic at hand, I will pose this question, “Is depth more valuable than star players […]

Chris Carson Hasn't Had Any Setbacks

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) hasn't had any setbacks in his recovery from a neck injury, according to a source, but he's still not 100 percent symptom-free. The Seahawks wanted to give him more time to heal, which is why they placed him on the short-term Injured Reserve on Friday, which will keep […]

Seahawks Defense Is Interesting In Week 6

The Seattle Seahawks defense has been inconsistent all season, but they have interesting upside in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers offense, outside of Week 5 against the Denver Broncos when they scored more than 17 points for the first time since Week 1, has struggled to consistently put up points. The Steelers […]

Alex Collins - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins will be getting his second straight start in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but we could see him struggle in this matchup.

Chris Carson Lands On Injured Reserve

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday, joining quarterback Russell Wilson (finger).

D.K. Metcalf Good To Go For Sunday Night

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) was removed from the final injury report for Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and will be available on Sunday night.

Chris Carson Ruled Out For Another Game

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) has been ruled out for the Week 6 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Although it was initially reported that Carson's neck injury isn't a long-term injury, he's now in danger of landing on Injured Reserve to join quarterback Russell Wilson (finger). An IR placement would […]

Russell Wilson Placed On Injured Reserve

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) was placed on injured reserve, making him first available in Week 10. This shouldn't come as a surprise as Wilson is reportedly targeting a Week 10 return. If needed Wilson can be dropped in fantasy leagues as there are nine other extremely viable quarterbacks and intriguing weekly flyers every […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues (PPR) ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The rookie sixth-round pick out of UCLA could be due for an expanded role in Week 6 with Nick Chubb ruled out.

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

Through five weeks of the NFL, fantasy managers have had to deal with an ever-changing top-10 at the tight end position. It's really not anything new if you've been playing fantasy football longer than... well, yesterday. This position has long been one with a lot of turnover and very few consistent options on a week-to-week […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Coming off my worst week of the season, getting only five of the top-10 defenses right, I spent a lot of Monday thinking about what I had missed. How did New England fail against Houston? What did the Lions do to get into the top-10 against a strong Minnesota offense? As I was racking my […]

Jason Myers - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was a top-10 kicker a season ago, but he's struggling to maintain a position inside the top 30 heading into Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tyler Lockett - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett bounced back a bit in Week 5, but you should temper expectations for him in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and moving forward. Lockett will be playing with quarterback Geno Smith this week after playing his entire career with quarterback Russell Wilson (finger), who went on Injured Reserve. Lockett […]

Geno Smith - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is preparing for his start since 2017, and he has to do it in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Smith played well in relief in Week 5, going 10-for-17 for 131 yards with a touchdown and one interception, although the pick wasn't necessarily his fault as his receiver fell […]

DK Metcalf Misses Thursday's Practice With Foot Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (foot) missed Thursday's practice with foot pain. The big receiver was a limited participant on Wednesday, but was downgraded to not participating on Thursday.

Chris Carson Remains Sidelined For Thursday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) remained on the sideline for Thursday's practice. The veteran missed Week 5 with a neck injury and it looks like his Week 6 status could be in serious doubt.

TNF NFL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Eagles vs. Bucs

Tonight's primetime game features the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Thursday Night Football Starts & Sits: Bucs vs Eagles

I feel like we all need a quick breather after Week 5. Last week had monster fantasy games, devastating injuries, and dramatic finishes. And the best part, there’s no time to take a breather as we have a huge Thursday Night game this week. Last week, we had eight running backs rush for 100+ yards, […]

Picking your fantasy players from teams that are known to depend on a small number of players to move the […]

D.K. Metcalf Still Limited By Foot Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (foot) put in another limited practice on Wednesday.

The physical specimen caught all five […]

Chris Carson Expected To Return To Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) didn't practice on Wednesday but is expected to return on Thursday, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
