Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Jack Doyle, DeVante Parker, Derrius Guice

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 14

You did it! You made it to the fantasy playoffs! At least, I assume you did if you're bothering to read a waiver wire column in Week 14. Or maybe you're just that dedicated to playing spoiler to leaguemates, in which case I would like to applaud you for being awesome. Or maybe your league's […]

Week 13 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 13, several of the highest-scoring quarterbacks were guys who have been disappointing as of late. Carson Wentz has been struggling because his wide receivers have been injured, but he finally got Alshon Jeffery back and made the best of a good matchup against the Dolphins Defense to finish as the No. 4 quarterback […]

Redskins Defense Puts Up Fantasy Numbers Again

The Washington Redskins Defense posted its second straight quality fantasy outing on Sunday, forcing two turnovers and collecting seven sacks for good measure against the Panthers. Chief among the reasons for the Redskins' success against Carolina was their ability to limit what Christian McCaffrey was able to do on the ground. McCaffrey has been nearly […]

Terry McLaurin Struggling In Hopeless Passing Game

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in just two catches for eight yards on four targets in Sunday's win over the Panthers. While his lack of production in Week 13 can easily be attributed to the success Washington had in the running game, the much more glaring issue burdening McLaurin's fantasy value is his […]

Kelvin Harmon Continues Connection With His QB

Washington Redskins wide receiver Kelvin Harmon led his team in targets for the second time in three games on Sunday. While the fact that he did so in Week 13 with just five targets tells you everything you need to know about Washington's passing game, Harmon is clearly emerging as a preferred option for quarterback […]

Chris Thompson A Non-Factor Against Panthers

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson was held in check on Sunday, accounting for just 29 total yards on four touches. While the per-touch efficiency was certainly there, Thompson wasn't needed much as a pass-catcher in a game the Redskins dominated on the ground with Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice. Thompson will continue to suffer […]

Adrian Peterson Goes Off Despite Workload Split

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson toted the ball 13 times on Sunday, racking up 99 yards and a touchdown on the way. The Week 13 performance marked the first time since Derrius Guice returned three games ago that Peterson was able to do anything of consequence with his limited work. In what has to […]

Derrius Guice Does Major Damage In Breakout Performance

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice erupted for 129 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries in Sunday's win over the Panthers, marking by far the best performance of his young career. There was promise coming into the matchup against a porous Panthers run defense, with the downside being that Guice might continue to […]

Dwayne Haskins Defers To Running Game In Win

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins won his second consecutive game on Sunday in a surprise road upset of the Panthers. While the Redskins will take 'em any way they can get 'em at this point, Haskins once again did not significantly factor into the victory. It was his third straight game with a completion rate […]

Trey Quinn Knocked Out With Concussion

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 13 against the Panthers and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest. Quinn came up empty on his only target in the game before leaving. With Paul Richardson inactive on Sunday, the Redskins are now down to rookies Terry McLaurin, […]

Chris Thompson Active Against Panthers

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) is officially active for Week 13 against the Panthers. With Thompson back in the fold to help catch passes out of the backfield, Wendell Smallwood is a healthy scratch this week. The 29-year-old hasn't played since Oct. 13, so he could also have his snaps limited. In Washington's […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target In Week 13

In Week 12, several of the wide receivers recommended in last week's column came through with solid performances. However, if you went with Julio Jones as a high-end option at wide receiver you were very disappointed as the Falcons didn't play well and Jones struggled to make it through the game after suffering a shoulder injury. […]

NFL DFS Cash Game Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 13)

Let's all celebrate the end of the bye weeks, which means that our Sunday slates go back to being loaded with 13 games. Hang on, what do you mean it's only an 11-game slate?! The only downside of Thanksgiving is that it leaves just 11 games on the featured DraftKings slate for Week 13. That […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 13) - Targets and Avoids

Week 12 came and went with nary an upset. The biggest upset was the Washington Redskins beating the Lions as 4-point underdogs. The Panthers should have beaten their division rival Saints as 10-point dogs, but Joey Slye missed two extra points and a 28-yard field goal. Survivor pools are desolate at this point in the […]

Comeback Mode: Upside Plays for Post-Thursday Lineup Deficits

On Fridays after a Thursday night game, fantasy owners tend to get anxious if they have fallen behind after one game has wrapped.

Paul Richardson Ruled Out Against Panthers

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Panthers. Richardson has done next to nothing for fantasy owners this year and remains firmly on waiver wires. Terry McLaurin, Kelvin Harmon and Trey Quinn should be the team's top three receivers. Washington's offense is extremely hard to trust […]

Chris Thompson Expected To Play In Week 13

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) is expected to play in Week 13 against the Panthers. Thompson has been out since Week 6 with turf toe. His return will throw another wrench in a backfield that has already been rotating Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson. Thompson is mostly a pass-catcher on third downs, but […]
