How to Approach the Eagles' Fantasy Options Moving Forward
Finding Waiver Wire Gems on Bad Teams
There are a lot of bad teams out there in the NFL in 2018 as you will see in the list below. Some expected, like the Raiders and some not so much, like the Jaguars. Whether bad by design, bad injury luck, or bad coaching (the Raiders fit all three), some players still stand out... Read More
Rashaad Penny: A Potential RB2 For The Rest Of The Season
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny had a breakout game in Week 10. He will look to finish the season off strong to show the Seahawks coaching staff that he is capable of being the team's number one running back next year. Penny is coming off the best game of the season against the... Read More
Time To Move On From Tom Brady?
Sunday of Week 10 was not a good day for Tom Brady and the Patriots offense. They could not get anything going against an admittedly strong Titans defense. However, the ineptitude of the way the Patriots offense played made the Dallas Cowboys performance against the Titans look somewhat heartening. Now the whole offense was an... Read More
What's Wrong with Jordan Reed?
Rule 86: If Jordan Reed is in Washington's lineup, he should be in yours. This was the rule to live by when it came to Jordan Reed throughout his career. One of the NFL's most dynamic playmakers, Reed struggled to stay on the field but shined when he was on it. Reed led all tight ends... Read More
Rookie Running Back Overview, ROS Outlook
It's been said before and I'll say it again - rookie running backs can play a very significant role when it comes to fantasy fortunes. Kareem Hunt (2017) and Ezekiel Elliot (2016) are the recent examples, while the Saquon Barkley breakout of 2018 has taken absolutely no one by surprise. Prior to this season, I... Read More
Is Lamar Miller Back to Fantasy RB2 Status?
I've been accused of being a Lamar Miller apologist over the last few seasons. Some of it is warranted, some of it way off-base. The crux of my pro-Miller argument has always been that you don't always need razzle-dazzle from the running back position. Sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to just be a consistent source of...

Picking From the Fringe - Waiver Targets for a Playoff Push
With the fantasy football regular season coming down to the wire, there are those players who are established in the playoffs and those who are already out of contention. For the rest of us, there are moves to be made and waiver acquisitions to be made to keep our playoff hopes alive. Making the correct... Read More
Dez Bryant Joins The Saints - Fantasy Impact
With the news Wednesday that Dez Bryant was signed by the New Orleans Saints, there are many questions which need to be answered. First, what does this mean for Bryant himself? Is he about to become a fantasy superstar in an explosive offense, or is he just a distraction for defenses on the field while... Read More
Duke Johnson Is Fantasy-Relevant Once Again
I was facing a dilemma in one of my fantasy leagues last week with Patriots rookie Sony Michel (knee) questionable to play in the Sunday night game. Should I risk rolling with him and then possibly having to pick up Cordarrelle Patterson or Jamaal Williams at the last minute if Michel was inactive? My other... Read More
Return To Sender - Faces In New Places Who Have Disappointed
We are now nine weeks into the season and we have had enough time to evaluate what roles players have on their teams. Barring injury, those roles are unlikely to change a huge amount at this stage. We saw a lot of good players change teams in the offseason. Some have had success, like Kirk... Read More
Trading for the Playoff Run
At this stage of the fantasy season, the playoff picture in your league is likely to be taking shape. Making the right move at the right time is key for your success, and that means looking at what players you should aim for before your league's trade deadline falls. Acquiring a player who has a...

Quarterbacks to Own for the Playoff Stretch
Before the season started, I gave readers a list of quarterbacks who could be drafted based on their fantasy playoff matchups. These picks were obviously based on the stats of the defenses from 2017, as games had not yet been played. Now that the season is half over, I decided it was time to go... Read More
Is Mitch Trubisky a Legitimate Fantasy Starter?
Raise your hand if you were looking forward to owning Chicago Bears' second-year quarterback Mitch Trubisky in fantasy in 2018. If you dropped your mouse to raise your hand, first of all, I can't see you and second of all, you're probably lying. Some owners probably still wouldn't care to own Trubisky at the season's... Read More
Is Tyler Boyd the WR to Own in Cincinnati?
Tyler Boyd is starting to prove that the Cincinnati Bengals did not make a mistake making him the sixth wide receiver selected in the 2016 draft. Boyd's potential was first brought to the attention of Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis by his father, Marvin Lewis Sr., back in 2012 when Boyd was still in high... Read More
2018 Mid-Season Fantasy Football Awards
Like Ty Montgomery deciding haphazardly to come out of the end zone and getting himself shipped off to Baltimore, I'm here to talk about mid-season rankings. You'll be reminded time and time again that the season is technically halfway over, including the postseason, which can either be a reassuring thought as you attempt to go... Read More
Fantasy Winners and Losers - NFL Trade Deadline
The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and it was a doozy this year. In a league where deadline deals used to be incredibly rare, Tuesday was a breath of fresh air. It was almost like we were watching the NBA or MLB trade deadline happen. Here's a quick summary of the deals from... Read More
Dealing Le'Veon Bell Before the Trade Deadline
First, we were told he would be back before the season. Then we were told it would happen during the bye week. Now we are hearing it will be after the NFL trade deadline, so he doesn’t get traded, and his deadline to report is by Tuesday 11/13 at 4 pm. What are we to... Read More
Check the Schedule - QB/WR Combos to Acquire Before Playoffs
We have reached that point in the season where some fantasy owners need to start thinking ahead. This will not be the case for all owners, but the lucky ones who are sitting in a comfortable position and feeling confident of the playoffs. For those owners, it is time to start positioning yourself to have... Read More
Using the #AllBenchRB Strategy
I apologize to my millions of fans for my absence these past few weeks. I was busy completing an Ironman whilst studying for the Mensa exam. During my training and study breaks, I pondered a topic I wrote about last year that I coined #AllBenchRB. I submitted my analysis to the Mensa Board, who instantly... Read More
Golden Tate To Eagles - Fantasy Impact
A Notre Dame player on the Eagles? My grandfather would be rolling over in his grave. That said, Golden Tate on the Eagles makes a lot of sense as they have a need at receiver to help complement Zach Ertz and Alshon Jeffery. And because apparently, they couldn’t find a running back to trade for.... Read More
Is Mark Ingram Still Worth Starting?
Last season, the New Orleans Saints accomplished the rare feat of having multiple running backs finish within the top-10 at the position in fantasy points scored. Upon his return from a four-week suspension, Mark Ingram looked poised to put the team on track to do it all over again. While he only had 16 carries... Read More
Under-The-Radar Fantasy Football Stashes
Week 7 was the first week this NFL season that featured four teams on bye (Packers, Raiders, Steelers, Seahawks). Week 8 follows suit with the Falcons, Cowboys, Titans, and Chargers taking the week off. Week 9 gets even dicier with six teams out (Bengals, Colts, Giants, Eagles, Cardinals, and Jaguars). Week 10 will see another... Read More
Nick Chubb - Welcome to the RB1 Club
Last week was tough for fantasy running backs. David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott were both studs who disappointed. Austin Ekeler was unable to step in place of the inactive Melvin Gordon over in London and we lost both LeSean McCoy and Sony Michel to injuries early in their games. When you combine all of that with... Read More
Marvin Jones - A Forgotten Man
The Detroit Lions have been a fairly unpredictable team through the first seven weeks of the NFL season. Fans and fantasy owners knew coming into the season that Matthew Stafford and the offense would be leading the charge towards a hopeful playoff berth. Aside from Stafford, Golden Tate and Marvin Jones were the only “sure... Read More
Jacksonville Jaguars - Fantasy Gold To Fantasy Sold
Every offseason, I believe in the hype that this might be the Jacksonville Jaguars' season and that I want to own part of that team. At this point of the season, I think we can safely say we know what we have and it's not nearly as good as we hoped. Last season, the Jags... Read More
The Curious Case of Corey Davis
Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel, Cole Beasley, Dede Westbrook...I could go on and on in listing all the random players who are having a better year than Corey Davis. It won't make you feel any better about drafting him, though. He's been about as disappointing as it gets as far as high profile wide receivers go.... Read More
Is Marlon Mack Legit?
Week 7 in the NFL wasn't exactly ideal for the stud running backs in fantasy football. Ezekiel Elliot was a dud after being projected as an elite option against Washington, Melvin Gordon was inactive, LeSean McCoy was injured early on, Sony Michel was injured, and Joe Mixon was underwhelming. Other running backs were also disappointing,... Read More
Stop The Slander - Hello Jameis Winston, QB1
"Fitzmagic" may be dead, but Jameis Winston is breathing new life into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense and possibly your fantasy football team as QB1. So Stop The Slander. Winston was a laughing stock last season after a few failed motivational speeches went viral. Tampa looked ordinary, despite demonstrating promise to start the season. Things did... Read More
Amari Cooper - Revitalized in Big D?
Historically, in-season trades for relevant players have been exceedingly rare in the NFL. That trend seems to be shifting in recent years. We just saw Carlos Hyde go to Jacksonville and on Monday the Dallas Cowboys made a bold move by giving up a first-round pick for wide receiver Amari Cooper. Let me start out... Read More
