D.K. Metcalf Is A Strong Week 1 Play

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is the No. 2 receiver on his team, but he's still a really good fantasy option. His unique combination of size and speed make him difficult for even the best cornerbacks to cover. In games that he saw at least five targets in last season, he averaged nearly 14 […]

Tyler Lockett Has WR1 Upside In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett could be a WR1 at the end of Week 1. He was on pace to finish as a WR1 last season before an injury hobbled him for a month. Now he's fully healthy and he's playing with one of the league's best quarterbacks. The Atlanta Falcons overhauled their cornerback […]

Chris Carson Has An Interesting Week 1 Matchup

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson finished as the RB12 last season in PPR formats, and he can start 2020 on a high note to make it to that RB1 level again. Against the Atlanta Falcons, game script is going to be important. The Falcons have an explosive offense and they can put up points […]

Thursday Night Football Prop Picks for Monkey Knife Fight: Chiefs vs Texans

The NFL season is officially back. After not having football since the Super Bowl back in February, this is exactly what we need right now. What makes football more exciting than it already is? Putting money on it, and Monkey Knife Fight is the way to do it.  Our friends at Monkey Knife Fight offer some of […]

Russell Wilson Is A Lock For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has continued to put up absolutely insane numbers throughout his career. In 2020, we expect that to continue with a big start in Week 1. This Atlanta Falcons team is in an interesting position. On offense, they're loaded, but the defense is a big question mark. Last season, they were […]

Malcolm Brown Shouldn't Be Started In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown was a thorn last year with his ability to vulture touchdowns from former teammate Todd Gurley. While there is a possibility he does better this year, there's no guarantee with the crowded backfield they're currently trotting out. The team added running back Cam Akers in the draft after […]

Temper Expectations For Cam Akers In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers has gotten a lot of hype this offseason, and he's a talented player. However, you may want to temper your fantasy expectations for the rookie in his first NFL game. In addition to the team likely being forced to throw more than run due to their matchup, we […]

Tyler Higbee Should Be A TE1 In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee went on a tear at the end of last season, and he'll be looking to continue that to start this season. Safety is the biggest weakness on the entire Dallas Cowboys roster, and Higbee can easily take advantage of that. He gives quarterback Jared Goff a safe option […]

Robert Woods A Great Option For Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods is one of the most consistent receivers in the NFL, and he remains underrated for fantasy. He's put up over 2,300 yards between the last two seasons, and he's also gone for over 85 receptions in each year. Similar to teammate Cooper Kupp, he's got a great matchup […]

Cooper Kupp A Great Start For Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been one of the best fantasy receivers when he's been on the field. He finished as the WR4 last season, and he started the year extremely hot by averaging over 20 PPR points per game in his first eight contests. This year, he gets another chance to […]

Jared Goff Has A Great Matchup In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff regressed last season, along with the rest of the roster, but he is presented with a great matchup in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys lost starting cornerback Byron Jones this offseason, and their safety room saw no improvements. They'll be forced to throw the ball in […]

ADP Showdown: Mike Evans vs JuJu Smith-Schuster

In redraft season, you have to go into your draft prepared for all possible outcomes. Your league mates are going to draft differently every single time.

ADP Showdown: Leonard Fournette vs. Todd Gurley

Redraft season is on, and every round you have to make decisions between one player or another as to who you’ll be drafting to your roster. Some decisions are easier like choosing Saquon Barkley over someone like Joe Mixon. Today, we’re looking at a decision that’s going to cause a bit more stress than that. […]

Hunter Renfrow - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

Realistically, the wide receiver position is the deepest of any in fantasy football on a yearly basis. This year, it's even more ridiculous than usual with at least 20 guys that could be WR1s at the end of the year. We're not looking at one of those today though. We're looking at one of the […]

Draft season is here, and you're preparing to get to work defeating your opponents. Leagues aren't won on draft day, but they can certainly be lost on them.

Draft Sleepers That Could Be League Winners

Last year, players like Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and tight end Mark Andrews could have been drafted in the ninth round or later. They both went on to finish in the top three of their position. Throw in Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, and we had a […]

Philip Rivers to Colts: Fantasy Impact
