Russell Wilson Is A Risky Play In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is the epitome of a risky play right now. He's one of the most talented QBs in the league, he can single-handedly win a fantasy week, he's got one of the worst offensive lines in the game, he doesn't seem to get along with his offensive coordinator, and it's been […]

With four weeks of the NFL season in the books, we now have a quarter of a season worth of data to look at. There are some really bad defenses standing out from the pack and there are some defenses who are best avoided. The same goes for offenses as we have some great ones […]

Mike Davis May See Some Work

Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis was a surprise starter last week against Arizona, and even though he excelled, Chris Carson's return from a hip injury leaves Davis' future in question. Head coach Pete Carroll was coy with reporters this week as he refused to give away his game plan for Sunday, hinting at possibly […]

Chris Carson Returns to Action Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson will be playing on Sunday against the Rams, and he may go back to being the team's primary RB. Unfortunately, that's not quite as clear cut as it might seem. Carson's one-week absence allowed third-string running back Mike Davis to put up 101 yards against the Cardinals, and while […]

Frank Clark Insistent That He's Playing

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark has been questionable all week to play Sunday versus the Rams due to food poisoning, but according to him, he's definitely playing.

Frank Clark Questionable Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Rams. Clark is dealing with food poisoning, but we suspect that he will be available this Sunday. The Seahawks will need Clark's presence in order to disrupt Rams quarterback Jared Goff and LA's high-flying offensive attack.

Stop Holding Us Back! Underutilized RBs

Every season there are some players we expect to break out. Some of them don’t for one simple reason - the team doesn’t play them over inferior players. Whether it be due to contract numbers or coach’s preference, teams stick with a player long after it is obvious someone else is better. In years past, […]

Chris Carson Will Return In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed on Friday that running back Chris Carson (hip) will return in Week 5 against the Rams after being a surprise inactive in Week 4. However, Mike Davis ran for over 100 yards and two touchdowns in Carson's absence last Sunday, so it's anyone's guess how much work Carson […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 5)

What a Week 4 we had! We are still on pace to have the most touchdowns in a single year in NFL history (over 1400) and on pace to break the single-season scoring record by 327 points. The average NFL game is seeing teams produce a combined 725 yards of offense per game which would […]

Blake Bortles Should Be Your Starting Quarterback

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was seen as a huge bust through the first three and a half years of his career. But he seems to have turned things around over the last 10 or so regular season games. Bortles helped the Jags to their first playoff appearance since 2007 last year. Jacksonville selected the […]

Stop the Slander on Julio Jones Once and For All!

Once again, the Atlanta Falcons have found its way near the top of 2018's best offenses. Much to the chagrin of fantasy football owners worldwide, Julio Jones seems to have an aversion to touchdowns. Stop the Slander! Julio Jones is one of the best receivers in the game and will finish as such. After last […]

Chris Carson, Doug Baldwin Limited Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) and wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) were limited in practice Thursday.

Russell Wilson A Full Participant In Practice

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday. Wilson should have no problems playing in Week 5 against the Rams in a tough matchup, although his hamstring injury is worth watching with how much scrambling he does behind a suspect offensive line. With limited options in the passing game (although Doug Baldwin […]

Chris Carson, K.J. Wright, Frank Clark Miss Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip), linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) and defensive end Frank Clark (illness) did not practice on Wednesday.

Week 5 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 4 saw several high scoring games for offenses around the league. When offenses score more points, kickers get more swings of the leg, which means they are scoring us more points.

Mychal Kendricks Suspended Indefinitely

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks was suspended indefinitely on Tuesday after the NFL reviewed his September guilty plea to insider-trading charges, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
