Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 15
Despite Week 14 featuring a bunch of blowouts, quarterback production wasn’t anything special. Only three quarterbacks passed for over 300 yards passing.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 13

Five quarterbacks passed for... Read More
Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Buccaneers vs Rams
After an explosive Thursday Night matchup, we get rewarded with a potential defensive slugfest on Monday Night Football. Both the Buccaneers and Rams recorded impressive Week 10 victories thanks to stifling defenses doing their jobs. In the case of the Rams, they were able to hold Russell Wilson to his worst performance of the season... Read More
Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 11
Week 10 was a brutal affair for most fantasy squads, especially if you rely on production from the quarterback position. Only six quarterbacks surpassed 300 yards passing on the week, and of those only three had more than one passing touchdown. As a whole, only three quarterbacks were able to throw for at least three... Read More
Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Vikings vs Bears
On the surface, we will be staring down at another potentially disappointing Monday Night contest between the inept offense of the Chicago Bears and the questionable defense of the Minnesota Vikings.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 10
Week 9 has come and gone (minus Monday night's impending dumpster fire between the Patriots and Jets) and teams just keep hitting their offensive stride. After a slow Week 8, NFL offenses erupted once again with one 400-yard passer (Josh Allen) and 10 different 300-yard passing efforts. Additionally, two quarterbacks had four passing touchdowns with... Read More
Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Jets vs Patriots
After several fun and exciting Monday night matchups, we have gotten into the unfortunate part of the season. The Tampa Bay and Giants matchup seemed rough… but then the Patriots and Jets game entered the picture and I feel like none of us will be the same. If you are starting more than one of... Read More
Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 9
The story of Week 8 in the NFL will be the brutal weather situations that stifled many offenses across the league. Patrick Mahomes (416 yards and five touchdowns) and Russell Wilson (261 yards and four touchdowns) did what they do best, but statistics were down across the league. Only three quarterbacks threw for over 300... Read More
Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Giants vs Buccaneers
We are officially on to Week 8. At the moment, it is worth noting that the Giants had to send several offensive linemen home last week due to one of their players testing positive. At this time, there is no indication that this game is in danger of not being played, but make sure to... Read More
Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 8
Explosive passing attacks continue to be the name of the game in 2020. In Week 7, eight quarterbacks attempted 40 or more passes. Eight teams surpassed 300 passing yards and 15 quarterbacks with multiple passing touchdowns. Five quarterbacks had three or more passing scores. Bye weeks continue to chug along and assuming there isn’t any... Read More
Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Rams vs Bears
After salivating over the high scoring potential of fast-paced offenses last week, Week 7’s Monday night matchup feels downright underwhelming. The Bears (5-1) and Rams (4-2) both come in with winning records and early season playoff aspirations. Both teams feature stout defenses, so this game may be more of a slugfest than a shootout. However,... Read More

Navigating these bye... Read More
Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 6
Once again, the NFL was a perfect example of why people love and hate the game of football.

Then, just hours later the brutal cruelty... Read More
