As with each week there were some hits and misses in Week 5. Kudos to Greg Olsen who had a career day with nine receptions for 181 yards. Still, the career day was not enough to edge out Martellus Bennett as the TE1 with three touchdowns. On the other end of the spectrum, Where have you gone Eli Man...

Between bye weeks and injuries, fantasy owners have to find players to step in for their starters each week. Sometimes it is a player on your bench and other times you just have to pick up a player off of waivers and plug him in your lineup. That will be determined by the league you are in as well a...

NFL receivers versus the opponents shutdown cover corner.
The first game of Week 6 of the 2016 NFL season looked to be an object lesson in the making regarding the impact that cornerbacks can have on the fantasy value of the wide receivers they cover. On one hand, you had Denver’s Aqib Talib (one...

Three DFS players I'm investing heavily in for tournament (GPP) play this week. ... And one I'm not.

I'm in:
Jimmy Graham, TE, Seattle Seahawks
Yes, he's getting pricey ($4,900 on DraftKings, $6,900 on FanDuel), but Graham has made a remarkable recovery from the ruptured pate...

Carson Wentz QB PHI WAS SIT
Wentz has outperformed most projections for him. He's turned in 3 out of 4 startable weeks. Washington, however, has held their last three opposing QBs below 20 points. Washington is also terrible against the run which is an Eagle's strength. I suspect Wentz's usage ...

Drew Stanton looks like he has the ability to be an above average backup QB, and could be a good fill gap QB if Carson Palmer goes down again. Stanton threw two TD passes in a victory of the 49ers.
David Johnson is a man amongst boys on the field. Johnson has 27 carries for 157 yards and two TDs ...

Where has the time gone and how have we already arrived at the beginning of Week 6 in the Fantasy Football season? As owners we are forced to wait for what seems to be an eternity each year for meaningful games to finally begin, but once the season arrives it is gone at the drop of a hat. Enjoy it w...

This is a weekly DFS article that strictly targets cheap, sneaky, DFS plays for the week. As DFS players it is important that we can identify these cheap plays, so that we can spend, or "pay up" elsewhere. Some of the cheapest plays become core plays and differentiators in our weekly lineups.

Only Cam Newton has put in a startable week vs DEN this year. Look for other options than Rivers in Week 6
Melvin Gordon RB SDG DEN START
Denver's achilles heel which was exposed last week seems to be their run defense. Denver is ranked 25th vs the RUN and San Die...

It was another mediocre performance for me in the DraftKings NFL $4.44M Fantasy Football Millionaire [1M to 1st] contest in Week 5. The player suggestions are there as evident in my weekly write-ups; I just keep grouping the wrong players together. For instance, no Ezekiel Elliott in my lineup, even...

The waiver wire can be your best friend in fantasy football. Especially in times like these where injuries are piling up and teams are on bye. That being said, let’s waste no more time and take a look at some players you may want to target on waivers.

Colin Kaepernick- QB- 49ers
After five games of watching Blaine Gabbert throw the ball no further than five yards down the field, 49ers coach Chip Kelly decided to go with Colin Kaepernick in week 6 against the Bills. While Kaepernick had a terrible 2015 season, many experts thought Chip Kelly’s of...

As usual, I will review some of the injuries that occurred in the weekend and the implications they may have on your fantasy teams. Let’s take a look at some of the injuries that occurred thi...
