Rookie Receiver Breakouts from Week 1: Trust or Bust?

Rookie wide receivers are generally hard to trust in fantasy football. Last year’s class, for example, did not produce any regular fantasy starters, although players such as Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore, Dante Pettis, Christian Kirk and Michael Gallup all showed some promise. Ridley was the best of the bunch with 64 catches for 821 yards […]

Week 2 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season is just about wrapped up, and we saw plenty of wild and crazy things this past weekend. The Kansas City Chiefs scored 40 points on the day, and they were only third among the highest scorers. With several high scoring games, we saw quite a few active kickers. […]

Week 2 Deeper League Waiver Pickups

The aftermath of Week 1 is generally one of the most important weeks to utilize the waiver wire. Even in deeper leagues, where there aren't as many obvious players to scoop up. Each week, we will advise you which players to snatch up from waivers in your deeper leagues. These players are owned in approximately […]

Chris Thompson (RB, WAS) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A knee injury is going to cost Derrius Guice some time, and while that injury was thankfully to the non-ACL tear knee, Washington is still likely going to be cautious with the second-year back. Behind him on the depth chart, Washington […]

Terry McLaurin (WR, WAS) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Virtually every NFL team has a wide receiver who can be considered fantasy relevant, but things in Washington were such a mess entering this season that no one seemed to have any idea which receiver -- if any -- would be the […]

Derrius Guice Dealing With Meniscus Injury

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) is dealing with a meniscus injury and is hoping it's a sprain and that he'll miss just a few weeks, according to a source. We'll know more on a timetable for his return once the results of his tests are known. Veteran Adrian Peterson was a healthy scratch […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 9/9/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

There were some big games in Sunday of Week One and the schedule wraps up with a pair of Monday night games. Nine of the 26 active teams scored at least 30 points while a dozen quarterbacks threw for at least 300 yards and nine quarterbacks threw for at least three touchdowns. Five running backs […]

Derrius Guice Likely Sidelined

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) had an MRI on his non-repaired knee Monday, and he's likely to miss some time. The hope is he can avoid surgery. He only gained 18 yards on 10 carries in Week 1. Running back Adrian Peterson was a healthy scratch last week, and he should step in […]

Paul Richardson Starts 2019 With Pedestrian Fantasy Day

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson caught four of seven targets for 36 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. The target share is encouraging, though his overall output is not, especially considering rookie Terry McLaurin shined with 125 yards and a touchdown. Richardson was one of five Redskins players with six or more targets […]

Vernon Davis Catches Touchdown Against Eagles

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis scored the team's first touchdown of 2019 on an impressive 48-yard scamper. He finished the day with four catches for 59 yards and the lone touchdown. The thing that jumps out at you might be the long touchdown, but keep in mind that he only accumulated 11 yards on […]

Trey Quinn Cashes In Garbage-Time Touchdown

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn had a modest Week 1, but his overall production was salvaged by a meaningless touchdown as time dwindled in the fourth quarter. Quinn's final line for the day was four catches, 33 yards, and the touchdown. He was targeted six times, which is encouraging for those trying to gauge […]

Chris Thompson Has Solid PPR Day In Week 1

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson returned to form on Sunday after a rough and ineffective 2018. Thompson saw 10 targets in the passing game, hauling in seven of them for 68 yards. He also added 10 yards on the ground with three carries, but that kind of minimal rushing work is routine for him. […]

Derrius Guice A Non-Factor Against Eagles

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice carried the ball just 10 times for 18 yards in his regular-season debut. It's not incredibly surprising to see him struggle on the road against a tough Eagles team to start his career, but it is somewhat puzzling that he didn't see more touches when the Redskins jumped out […]

Terry McLaurin Has Big Debut For Redskins

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in five of seven targets for 125 yards and a touchdown on Sunday in Philadelphia. The highlight of his day was the touchdown: a 69-yard bomb from Case Keenum that put the Redskins up 17-0 early in the second quarter. It's only one game, but the production from […]

Redskins Defense Collapses In Second Half Against Philly

The Washington Redskins Defense held Carson Wentz and the Eagles to seven points in the first half, but that success would be short-lived. The Eagles scored 25 unanswered points in the second half en route to a 32-27 victory. The Redskins allowed Wentz to throw for 313 yards and three touchdowns, and they permitted the […]

Case Keenum Impressive In Week 1

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum had himself a day against the Philadelphia Eagles. Keenum's final line for Week 1 was 30 completions on 45 attempts, 380 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers. The Redskins were supposed to roll over for the Eagles in this matchup, but Keenum would have none of it, leading the Redskins […]

Adrian Peterson A Healthy Scratch In Week 1

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is a healthy inactive for Week 1 against the Eagles. The Redskins are instead going with running back Wendell Smallwood, who also contributes on special teams. Peterson won't always be a healthy inactive in 2019, but it's not a good sign for the team's leading rusher a year ago. […]

Jordan Reed Out Against Eagles

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) did not make the trip to Philadelphia and is out for Week 1 against the Eagles. Reed just couldn't get cleared from the concussion protocol in time for the season opener. He remains a much-too-risky TE2 that more often than not finds himself on the sidelines. Vernon Davis […]
