Greetings to those of you still in the playoff hunt and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings up on a projector and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). I’m currently sixth in FantasyPros accuracy competition, fighting with the industry sharks, after finishing ninth (out of 130) in 2017. I hope this […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll keep it short and sweet here - you need to win and I want you to win. That's where the ol' gut comes in. See, there are many reasons to think Cousins won't throw the ball very often this week, Edwards will see a reduced workload, McKenzie has too low a ceiling to start […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 15): NFL DFS Lineups

Two Saturday games on top of the usual prime time games has really left this slate a little devoid of options. However, more significantly is the loss of the Chiefs, Rams, Chargers and Saints to prime time slots on Thursday, Sunday and Monday. That has left us looking more for defenses to pick against this […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 15

We're in the home stretch of the NFL season. The fantasy football playoffs are upon us, and injuries continue to rack up. Picking on the backups that precede starting defensive backs is a common strategy among DFS players, simply because it's a solid process. Fortunately, we have plenty of data to break down those matchups […]

Updated Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Take the Over - Week 15 Games Which Could Surprise

At this stage of the season, we get a lot of really exciting matches with the potential to be high-scoring. This week's highlight figures to be on Thursday as the Los Angeles Chargers play the Kansas City Chiefs, while the New England Patriots travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. These games we know are […]

Crucial Pivots for Fantasy Football Week 15

Us fantasy folks have a mantra that gets repeated ad nauseam throughout the season. "Start your studs" is the standard cliché you hear when it comes to making obvious lineup decisions. No one should be starting the likes of Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers just because Carr has an easy matchup...or should they? That's what […]

Corey Davis Hard To Trust In Week 15

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis has provided fantasy owners with a range of emotions over the course of the season. Just when you think he has broken out, he responds with a dud the following week. His target volume was keeping him afloat for much of the early season, but now he has seen […]

Dion Lewis May See A Lesser Role In Week 15

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis could see a diminished role in the offense in Week 15 against the New York Giants following Derrick Henry's breakout performance last week. Lewis, who has been mostly unproductive as of late, has seen his touches slowly decrease over the last few weeks. Should the Titans fully commit to […]

Marcus Mariota Remains A QB2 In Week 15

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has been very inconsistent from a fantasy perspective this season, which is a scary thought for fantasy owners in the playoffs. Despite his occasional struggles, he has been a productive passer against teams from the NFC over the course of his career. He has passed for 26 touchdowns and just […]

Titans Need An Encore Performance From Derrick Henry

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry exploded last week for a team record 238 yards and four touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While it is nearly impossible to imagine a similar performance this week when they take on the New York Giants, the Titans will need Henry to be effective in the running game. Expect […]

Trusting Derrick Henry (or Not) in Fantasy Playoffs

Few things give me true pleasure in watching the game of football like watching a running back rip off a long run. Derrick Henry did just that in Week 14, running for 99 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He didn't stop there, posting a memorable 238 yards and four touchdowns on the day. That's the stuff of […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 15

Those fantasy owners who started Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, despite the tough matchup on paper, were heavily rewarded last Thursday. After failing to eclipse 60 yards on the ground in a game this season, he exploded to the tune of 238 rushing yards and four touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars with an effort […]

Anthony Firkser (TE, TEN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jonnu Smith's promising ascent has been put to a halt as he suffered an MCL injury against the Jags on Thursday night. Anthony Firkser now takes over as the starting tight end, something that shouldn't interest fantasy owners too terribly. He has caught all […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Week 15 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It's the semi-finals in most fantasy leagues, so most owners should have their quarterback locked in permanently.

Aaron Rodgers @ Chicago, Matt Ryan vs. ARI, Matt […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 14) - Targets and Avoids

Of course last week I write, "It has been one top-heavy year." In Week 13, most of the favorites got it handed to them. Seven underdogs won outright and double-digit favorites like the Titans and Chiefs failed to cover. Some teams just continue to cover like the Patriots. They are a machine. Good teams win, […]
