Logan Thomas - Week 13 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Eagles Offensive Line Not Up To Par
The Philadelphia Eagles offensive line has been a weakness so far through five weeks of the season. "Right now we're struggling on the offensive line because we have to block longer. We have a quarterback that's coming off of an injury and he wants to make a play," left tackle Jason Peters said. "We just... Read More
Raiders Defense Is Struggling
The Oakland Raiders defense is allowing 6.8 yards per play this year, which is the fourth worst mark of any defense after five weeks since the 1970 merger, according to Pro Football Reference. We doubt that'd be the case if Oakland hadn't traded All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack to the Bears before Week 1. In... Read More
Falcons Offense Struggling Outdoors
The Atlanta Falcons offense has struggled so far in two road games outdoors (at Eagles and at Steelers), averaging 14.5 points in those two losses. Running backs Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith combined to average less than 3.0 yards per carry on 18 attempts against Pittsburgh. That shouldn't be a worry for fantasy... Read More
Chargers Backfield On Pace To Make History
The Los Angeles Chargers backfield of running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler is on pace for 3,216 yards from scrimmage this year, which would top the record for a backfield duo set by Saints backs Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram in 2017 (3,094 yards). Gordon is an RB1 each and every week, especially now... Read More
Steelers Sticking With Chris Boswell
The Pittsburgh Steelers are sticking with kicker Chris Boswell despite his three missed extra points this year and three missed field goals. "This guy has delivered for us a lot the last few years," head coach Mike Tomlin said. Despite Boswell's struggles, he remains in play in fantasy as well with the Steelers offense capable...

Jaguars Add David Williams, David Grinnage To Active Roster
The Jacksonville Jaguars added running back David Williams and tight end David Grinnage to the active roster on Tuesday. Williams was signed off the Broncos practice squad, while Grinnage was promoted from the practice squad. Williams will likely be third on the depth chart behind T.J. Yeldon and recently-signed Jamaal Charles for Week 6 against... Read More
Justin Houston Could Miss Multiple Weeks
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) could miss multiple weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5, according to a source. He will be very questionable for Sunday night against the Patriots. Houston has been a big part of KC's pass rush this year, accumulating 11 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles... Read More
Dee Ford Having Great Year
Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Dee Ford is having a great year through five games after he had one sack, four quarterback hits and a hurry in the Week 5 win over the Jaguars. With Chris Jones and Justin Houston causing havoc up front, the Chiefs pass rush has quietly impressed even if their secondary... Read More
Lamar Jackson's Versatility Keeping Him On The Field
Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Lamar Jackson has been used a variety of ways this season. Jackson, who has appeared in each of the first five games, has lined up at different offensive spots as the Ravens have looked to take advantage of his speed and elusiveness. He was on the field for five plays against... Read More
Jaguars Signing Jamaal Charles
The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing free-agent running back Jamaal Charles on Tuesday, according to a source. In a corresponding move, running back Brandon Wilds was waived. That means that Charles should be the direct backup to T.J. Yeldon in Week 6 against the Cowboys. The veteran back had 69 carries for 296 yards (4.3 yards... Read More
Bengals Working Out Clive Walford
The Cincinnati Bengals worked out free-agent tight end Clive Walford on Tuesday, according to a source. The Bengals lost Tyler Eifert (ankle) for the year in Week 4 and Tyler Kroft (foot) was banged up in Week 5, so the Bengals want some more depth behind C.J. Uzomah moving forward. It's unclear how much time... Read More
Cyrus Jones Returns To Baltimore
The Baltimore Ravens recently picked up cornerback/return specialist Cyrus Jones off of waivers from the New England Patriots. This is the second stint with the Ravens for the Baltimore native this season. Jones is expected to take over the Ravens punt return duties from Tim White, who was released to make room for the 2016... Read More
Bucs Sign Ali Marpet To Extension
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms on a six-year deal with offensive guard Ali Marpet on Tuesday. The deal will begin this year and will add five years to the deal. Marpet has been solid on the team's offensive line since he was drafted in the second round in 2015, although he missed some... Read More
Browns Promote Dontrell Hilliard To Active Roster
The Cleveland Browns promoted running back Dontrell Hilliard from the practice squad to the active roster on Tuesday and waived defensive back Jerimiah McKinnon in a corresponding move. Hilliard was an undrafted free agent and had 32 carries for 82 yards and two receptions for 28 yards in the preseason. With Carlos Hyde, Duke Johnson... Read More
Corey Clement (RB, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the recent news of Jay Ajayi's torn ACL, he is out for the season which will make Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood two of this week's top waiver wire adds. Clement was seeing most of the carries while Ajayi was out a... Read More
Alfred Morris (RB, SF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Most waiver wire recommendations include several backs who could deliver excellent results at some point during the season, along with other rushers who are currently generating adequate scoring despite the obstacle of shared touches. However, San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris supplies the most... Read More
Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week, I had Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee listed as a dark horse in this article because I wanted to see how Houston would use him with Will Fuller healthy and on the field at the same time. Coutee had a lot of... Read More
Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate is available in your league's waiver wire, don't wait to add him, even if you have a reliable tight end. O.J. Howard will miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained MCL so Brate will inherit all the tight end... Read More
Robby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson finally repaid the faith of his owners. Anderson was quiet for four games, posting eight catches for 108 yards. He surpassed that total in Week 5, exploding for 123 yards and two touchdowns. These days may not... Read More
Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: His ownership is just a bit above the one-third mark, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is still widely available as the Bucs come off a bye week. With no running game to speak of, a gunslinger still at QB, and... Read More
Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS:Will Josh Rosen be the savior for the Arizona Cardinals offense this season? He certainly could be the savior of wide receiver Christian Kirk and his fantasy value. Kirk was able to haul in his first career touchdown Sunday against the 49ers. Kirk also had more... Read More
Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers were on bye this week, but with him being declared the starter in Tampa Bay Winston can be a viable fantasy quarterback again. His Week 6 matchup is especially enticing, as he takes on a divisional opponent in the... Read More
Ronald Jones (RB, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones has a different situation from fellow first-year back Nick Chubb, in that Jones already has a significant opportunity that has been presented to him, but his ability to capitalize remains in question. He emerged in Week 4,... Read More
D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman will be eligible to return from the PUP list after this week's matchup, in the next phase of his recovery from the Achilles injury that he suffered last November. It will be easier to secure... Read More
Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Rodgers has started off the 2018 season ranked eighth in the NFL with 314.4 passing yards-per-contest, and has already thrown ten touchdown passes through the first five games, while the Green Bay ground-attack has been good for just 101.2 rushing yards... Read More
Mike Davis (RB, SEA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This suggestion is not based upon a belief that Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll will elevate running back Mike Davis into weekly RB1 responsibilities. Instead, the rationale for adding him is based upon the likelihood that Carroll will also fail to entrust Chris Carson with... Read More
Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It may seem like a strange time to invest in Devontae Booker, considering that so far through five games he has only accrued 36 rushing yards on just eleven carries, not to mention the fact that he has failed to put up... Read More
Dede Westbrook (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars offense has been nicely bolstered this season by the presence of a few key emergent receivers, and at the forefront of that movement so far has been Dede Westbrook. The Jags passing game has been relatively strong so far... Read More
Darren Sproles Misses Practice Again
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) is missing his second straight practice on Tuesday. Sproles hasn't appeared in a game since the season opener and looks highly unlikely to suit up on a short week against the Giants on Thursday. There remains no timetable to return. Even with Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the... Read More
Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a particularly emergent year in it's own right of 2017, Keelan Cole has seemingly picked up right where he left off out of the Jacksonville receiving core. While he has had to contend with competition from fellow Jaguars Dede Westbrook and Donte... Read More
