Ka'imi Fairbairn Has Little Upside In Week 1

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is unlikely to have much fantasy impact in 2022, mainly because the Houston offense doesn't project to move the ball well enough for Fairbairn to get opportunities. Last season, Fairbairn attempted just 19 field goals and 16 extra points. He made a career-low 78.9% of his field goal attempts and […]

Brevin Jordan Not On Week 1 Fantasy Radar

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan has a lot of athletic upside, but that doesn't mean fantasy managers should be looking at him as an option this week. While he's the biggest name when it comes to Texans tight ends, Pharaoh Brown and O.J. Howard are on the team as well, and we won't really […]

Nico Collins A Risky Week 1 Play

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was a popular sleeper this offseason and showed some nice rapport in the preseason with quarterback Davis Mills. However, this doesn't mean that fantasy managers should fire him up for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Collins could very well end up being a valuable fantasy play […]

Brandin Cooks Opens 2022 As Texans Best Fantasy Play

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is arguably the only Texans player who fantasy managers can trust heading into the 2022 season. The Colts have a much better run defense than pass defense, so expect Houston to go to the air often, with Cooks expected to be the beneficiary of that. Last season, he was […]

Rex Burkhead A Risky Week 1 Play

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead could see a lot of work in the passing game this season, but there's too much uncertainty around the veteran running back for him to be in fantasy lineups in Week 1. The Colts were a strong run defense last year, which could theoretically boost Burkhead over teammate Dameon […]

Dameon Pierce Starts Career With Tough Matchup

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce was a popular sleeper in the preseason, but fantasy managers might want to consider leaving him on the bench in Week 1 against the Colts. Indianapolis ranked third in DVOA against the run last season and the Texans will likely be playing from behind in this one, limiting […]

Davis Mills Faces Tough Start To Season

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is set to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. The Colts were 17th in DVOA against the pass last year, so the matchup here isn't terrible for Mills, but in the early going, it's tough to justify playing Mills unless he has an even […]

The Time Is Now: Third-Year Fantasy Basketball Breakouts

Not every player can set the world on fire as a rookie. Or as a second-year player. Sometimes, young players take time to develop. A lot of star players take a leap in year three, but there are also players who aren't stars but become solid role players in that third season. Anthony Edwards is […]

Where Should Isiah Pacheco be Drafted for Fantasy Football? Is He the RB Backup to CEH?

The Kansas City Chiefs have some question marks in the backfield. The signing of Ronald Jones II doesn't seem like it's going to work out and that leaves a lot of pressure on Clyde Edwards-Helaire. One name that's emerged from the muck is Isiah Pacheco, a seventh-round pick out of Rutgers. Is Pacheco going to […]

What is the Fantasy Football Impact of O.J. Howard to Texans?

Tight end O.J. Howard was released by the Bills following the preseason, but it didn't take the former Alabama star long to find a new home. Howard is reportedly signing with the Houston Texans, where he'll join a tight end room that's rife for the taking if Howard can show that his injuries haven't slowed […]

Rookie WRs Set to Make An Impact in 2022 Fantasy Football Leagues

Rookie wide receivers tend to be really hit or miss in fantasy football. Last year was definitely a "hit" year, as Ja'Marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle had explosive seasons. This season...well, I think we should temper our expectations just a little bit about this class of rookie wideouts. There's plenty of talent, but Chase and […]

Fantasy Impact: The Donovan Mitchell Trade

After the Utah Jazz traded Rudy Gobert, it was only a matter of time before the team ended up trading Donovan Mitchell as well. There was no way the Jazz could justify holding Mitchell, because the team would have been a fringe playoff team with no viable path to improving. So, they traded Mitchell on […]

What is the Fantasy Football Impact of the Laviska Shenault Trade?

On Monday, the Jacksonville Jaguars traded wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. to the Carolina Panthers. Shenault is entering his third season in the NFL and now will have to learn a new offense on the fly if he wants to make an impact in his new digs. Let's examine how this trade impacts Shenault, as […]

How Long is Sam Darnold Out? Is He Still Relevant in Fantasy Football?

At one point this offseason, it looked like Sam Darnold could be in line to start at quarterback for the Panthers, but then the team traded for Baker Mayfield. And while the team initially didn't decide on a starting QB after the trade, it seemed clear that Mayfield would eventually earn that role. Darnold was […]

Will Jaylen Waddle be ready by Week 1 Of The NFL Season?

Miami Dolphins second-year wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been held out of practice recently with an undisclosed injury. We don't really know a ton about this injury at this point, aside from the fact that Waddle didn't play in the team's final preseason game. Will this Waddle injury end up lingering into the season? Should […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~86 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: The 49ers have moved on from Jimmy G this season, with second-year QB Trey Lance taking over under center.

Is Marlon Mack or Dameon Pierce the RB1 of the Texans?

The Houston Texans enter 2022 without a lot of fantasy hype. The offense isn't expected to be very good, which is why there isn't too much chatter about the team from a fantasy perspective. Though, there is one player who has fantasy Twitter abuzz: rookie running back Dameon Pierce. But is Pierce even the starter? […]

Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy F1 Lineup Picks

After a few weeks off, Formula 1 is back this week with the Belgian Grand Prix. And it's set up to be a weird one, though hopefully not as weird as last year's rain-soaked trip to Belgium that featured no actual on-track racing. Many good cars have grid penalties this week, which means that we […]

Rex Burkhead Ends Preseason Strong

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead touched the ball on the team's first series in Thursday's preseason finale against the 49ers with a two-yard run that came in the middle of three runs by rookie Dameon Pierce. While this looks like Pierce's backfield to lead, Burkhead's preseason usage patterns suggest he'll have a role on […]

Dameon Pierce Finds End Zone On Thursday

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce ran the ball six times for 37 yards in Thursday's 17-0 preseason win over the 49ers. He found the end zone on a one-yard run in the first quarter.

Justin Watson Catches One Pass In Preseason Finale

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson had an impressive preseason. It ended with a bit of a dud, as he had just one catch for nine yards.
