Terry McLaurin A Sneaky PPR Option On Monday Night

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin has impressed in his first two NFL games, hauling in 10 of 16 targets for 187 yards and two touchdowns. His Week 3 opponent is the Bears, who just allowed Emmanuel Sanders to have his way against them last Sunday: 11 catches, 98 yards, one touchdown. Assuming it's business […]

Chris Thompson A PPR Flex Option Against Bears

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson leads the entire team in targets with 18. He's caught 12 of them for 116 yards. Thompson might be Washington's only hope out of the backfield against the Bears, who have looked every bit like the run defense we expected coming into 2019. If Chicago has bent anywhere, it's […]

Case Keenum Facing Difficult Monday Night Matchup

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum has looked better than most thought he would as the new signal-caller, completing just under 70% of his passes for 601 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions. Keenum could reasonably be expected to chuck it early and often on Monday night, considering the Redskins' nonexistent running game and the Bears' […]

Adrian Peterson Not In Play For Week 3

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson had minimal success other than a short touchdown run against the Cowboys in Week 2. On Monday night, he'll face a Bears Defense that has permitted just 64.5 rushing yards per game to opposing backs and no rushing touchdowns. The Redskins have provided us with zero evidence that they […]

Redskins Defense Not Fantasy Relevant

The Washington Redskins Defense has its softest matchup of the young season in the Chicago Bears on Monday night. In a perfect world, you could trust this unit to get the job done as a streamer in a week when a few of the better fantasy defenses in the league have tougher matchups (Chargers/Texans, Browns/Rams). […]

Jordan Reed Not On The Field Thursday

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) is still dealing with a concussion and was not on the practice field on Thursday. Reed is likely to miss his third straight game to begin the season. He just can't stay healthy. With Washington playing on Monday night, nobody should have Reed in their lineup hoping that […]

Time to Pounce on David Montgomery

Heading into the 2019 season, there were a few rookie names that fantasy owners were interested in. After what was viewed as a fairly underwhelming draft class by many, we've seen a handful of random rookies look good. Josh Jacobs of the Oakland Raiders was viewed by many (including myself) as the top running back […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

After the opening week of the NFL season, the toughest decision for fantasy football owners was which rookie receiver to take a chance on. Following Week 2, we now have to decide which 49er has a chance to return fantasy value on a consistent basis. A few key injuries may provide for interesting adds as […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

Week 2 solidified some waiver-wire adds as more than flashes in the pan, while other Week 1 studs followed that up with a flop. Whether you're coasting towards an easy 2-0 start, in the thick of it at 1-1 or up against it with an 0-2 team, you never stop improving. Stay tuned as injury updates […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

As we enter the decision-making process for your Week 3 rosters, anyone who drafted backs that garnered the top six ADPs have avoided injury concerns. But those of you that selected James Conner or Damien Williams have been confronted with the possibility of losing your coveted starters due to health issues. The current uncertainty regarding […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Week 2 of the NFL season is (mostly) over. A lot of the best wide receiver performances from the weekend were from players who most folks already own, which makes it a bit tougher to navigate the waiver wire this week. This wasn't like Week 1, where guys like John Ross exploded and were no-doubt […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

There is no need to panic if you are a fantasy football owner and you are not happy with the tight ends on your fantasy roster. There is no shortage of available tight ends on free agent lists and waiver wires in fantasy leagues this early in the season. Since no teams have gone on […]

Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're reading this profile, chances are you passed on every highly-priced tight end on draft day, opting for a cheap option in a late round to just stream the position all season long or at least until finding someone valuable to pick […]

Frank Gore (RB, BUF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Do you know the first time Frank Gore ran for a touchdown in the NFL? Back in 2005. You do know the last time he did so? Just this weekend against the Giants. New Yorkers would be happier if that was all Gore […]

Redskins Defense Outmatched By Cowboys

The Washington Redskins Defense didn't have an answer for the Cowboys on Sunday. They did pick off Dak Prescott once, but they only got to him for one sack and allowed him to complete 86.7% of his passes. Prescott launched three touchdowns, and Ezekiel Elliott rumbled for 111 yards on 23 rushing attempts with a […]

Trey Quinn Doesn't Capitalize On Volume In Loss

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn saw another PPR-friendly target share in Sunday's loss, but for the second week in a row, failed to total 40 yards receiving. A touchdown salvaged his four-catch, 33-yard outing in Week 1, but he didn't score on Sunday in a similarly pedestrian four-catch, 36-yard performance. His 13 targets after […]

Chris Thompson Targeted Eight Times In Week 2

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson caught five passes for 48 yards on Sunday. His eight targets trailed only Terry McLaurin, and his 18 targets after two games are the most of any player on the team. Thompson's level of involvement has largely stemmed from a nearly nonexistent running game, which has made him the […]

Vernon Davis A Non-Factor In Sunday's Loss

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis caught three passes for 29 yards against the Cowboys on Sunday. He was targeted just four times. Even in the absence of Jordan Reed, Davis is going to be a touchdown-dependent fantasy tight end due to a lack of volume. This will only become more true as time progresses […]

Paul Richardson Catches Touchdown Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson salvaged a dismal fantasy day with a nine-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Cowboys. His final line for the day was three catches on three targets for 16 yards. After two weeks, it's abundantly clear that Terry McLaurin is the go-to target […]

Adrian Peterson Neutralized By Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson opened the scoring in Week 2's loss to the Cowboys, but an early touchdown was the extent of his production for the day. He rushed 10 times for just 25 yards. The Redskins, who lived and died by the run in 2018, have now gotten a combined 43 rushing […]

Terry McLaurin Emerging As Legitimate Fantasy Option

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in five receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He has now been targeted 16 times in Washington's first two games, the most of any Redskins wide receiver. The safe play heading into Week 2 was to exercise caution […]

Case Keenum Salvages Day With Two Second-Half TDs

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum was held in check by the Dallas defense for most of Sunday's Week 2 loss, but a pair of touchdowns late in the second half saved his fantasy day. Keenum finished with 26 completions on 37 attempts for 221 yards and the two scores. He also didn't commit any turnovers, […]

Vernon Davis Questionable To Return Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (eye) was injured in Week 2 against the Cowboys and is questionable to return. Davis wasn't targeted at all in the passing game before going down. With Jordan Reed (concussion) inactive for the second straight week, Jeremy Sprinkle would be the only tight end left active for the 'Skins […]
