Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Matt Ryan, Deebo Samuel, D.J. Moore

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Week 13 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

There’s nothing worse than having a turkey at the tight end position! Sorry for the Thanksgiving-related lead. Sometimes I cannot help myself. The fact is that there is something for fantasy football players to be thankful for besides sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. No NFL teams are on bye for the first time in a […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 13

Week 12 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 12, several high-end quarterbacks had terrible games due to rainy and/or windy conditions. It was both windy and rainy in the Boston area on Sunday which contributed to both Tom Brady and Dak Prescott finishing with less than 12 fantasy points. There were stiff winds in Philadelphia and as a result, Russell Wilson came […]

Jason Myers Overcomes The Elements

Myers wasn't facing any long kicks, but he knocked through a short field goal and a pair of extra points without incident as he continues to […]

Ziggy Ansah Rips Philadelphia

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah has been getting some attention lately for not stepping up, but he did the dirty work in the team's win against the Eagles on Sunday. Ansah was credited with a sack and a half, and he was in the mix on five turnovers by Philly on a day where […]

Josh Gordon Barely Gets Looked At In Philly

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon was the focus of a lot of media speculation this week as everyone predicted big things for the ex-Patriot. Gordon caught a pair of clutch passes against San Francisco a week after he joined the Seahawks, so everyone figured that with two extra weeks of practice study, he'd likely […]

Jacob Hollister Overthrown On TD Chance

Seattle Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister finally posted what appears to be a forgettable game by looking at the box score, but he was robbed by a horrific throw by Russell Wilson. In the wet, windy conditions in Philly, Hollister was somehow completely unnoticed by the defense on a 10-yard pass play in the end […]

Malik Turner Gets His First NFL Touchdown

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Malik Turner got to celebrate for the first time as he hauled in his first NFL touchdown during Sunday's win over the Eagles. Turner was the deep target on a flea flicker in the first half of Seattle's game, and he tracked a floating 38-yard toss from Russell Wilson perfectly. Making […]

D.K. Metcalf Drops TD Pass

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf only caught three of six passes on Sunday, posting one of his worst games as a pro. To further exacerbate his struggles, one of the passes he dropped was a touchdown pass that hit him in both hands. The dropped TD chance wasn't the easiest catch in the world, […]

Tyler Lockett Only Has One Catch In Philadelphia

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was fully cleared by the doctors for his shin contusion before hitting the field on Sunday, but he didn't play a huge role as he only hauled in one pass on the day. Granted, that pass was for 38 yards, enough to lead the team's receiving corps in yards […]

Rashaad Penny Has His Best Day Ever

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny put up his best day ever in the NFL when he rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's win against the Eagles on Sunday. Penny was coming off a game in San Francisco where he was only on the field for eight snaps total, but he got […]

Chris Carson Shown Up Against Eagles

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has been a workhorse for Seattle this year, and discussions about his workload abounded this week. Sunday took care of managing that. Rashaad Penny absolutely exploded in some of his first carries while Carson struggled, so head coach Pete Carroll switched it up and leaned heavily on the younger […]

Russell Wilson Wins Again In Philly

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson certainly didn't have the best game of his career, but he did enough to bring home another W on the road. Seattle remains unbeaten on the road after topping the Eagles 17-9 on Sunday. Wilson only completed 13 of his 25 passes for 200 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, […]
