Week 16 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

For much of the season, we've seen kickers rarely used on field goal duty, but, in the last couple of weeks, we have seen a large amount of change in that area. Defenses are cashing in on the bad weather to slow opposing offenses down, and that should continue in Week 16. The second round […]

Week 16 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

For the majority of fantasy football leagues around the country, Week 16 is Super Bowl week! It all comes down to this in most head-to-head fantasy leagues.

Corey Davis Held To 33 Yards In Week 15

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was once again contained as he caught three of six targets for 33 yards. His lack of production can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the success of the ground game and the poor weather conditions. It is clear that the Titans are perfectly content playing tight […]

Dion Lewis Once Again Overshadowed By Derrick Henry

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was once again phased out of the game plan in favor of fellow running back Derrick Henry. Lewis saw a measly seven carries compared to Henry's 33, although he was able to manage 35 yards. Henry has completely taken hold of the lead back role in Tennessee, and with […]

Marcus Mariota Not Needed In Week 15 Win

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was quiet in the team's Week 15 win over the New York Giants. The Titans were once again content letting Derrick Henry and the ground game control the clock as the defense pitched a shutout. Mariota completed 12 of just 20 attempts for 88 yards in a game where it […]

Derrick Henry Delivers Another Monster Performance

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry did not disappoint following his record-setting Week 14 performance as he put together another monster game with 33 carries for 170 yards and two touchdowns.

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.

Stay […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

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.

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.

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.

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.

That's the stuff of […]
