J.J. Nelson- WR- Cardinals
The Cardinals wide receiver J.J. Nelson has been making his way into fantasy owner’s starting lineups in the first two weeks of the season. He had a huge game against the Colts on Sunday hauling in five receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown. Nelson has been the most co...

There are certain constants in life. Death. Taxes. Politicians lying. The New England Patriots being a good football team (they are, you know). The Cleveland Browns being a bad one.
And Antonio Brown getting his.
While fantasy studs left and right were falling flat on their faces in Week 1, the ...

It was not until I began playing DFS that I started using Vegas lines as part of my research and determining factor when setting up my lineups. These lines can provide so much information each week. It gives you an idea of the potential game flow we could expect. High totals and close spreads, usual...

Three DFS players I'm investing heavily in for tournament (GPP) play this week. ... And one I'm not.
I'm in:
Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 1 was a wild one and there were many surprises along with some injuries that affected fantasy owners. In addition, we had some disappointing performances despite players being in favorable situations. That is the game of football and the variance that comes with it. That being said, it is time ...

Alex Smith finally looked and played like he didn’t care about the critics, and it was a great look on him. Smith finished with 368 passing yards and four TDs and he beat the Patriots on opening day. If this play continues Smith will be a sure fire QB1 who should start on any fantasy football team.

The high-octane Patriots’ offense sputtered. Le’Veon Bell had ten carries, just two more than the career-low eight carries he saw once, back in 2014. The rookie running backs to own in Week 1 were Kareem Hunt and Tarik Cohen. Bennie Fowler was a fringe WR1. The Rams defense scored more fantasy point...

Draft day and Christmas are my two favorite days of the entire year. Each one carries an immense amount of anticipation, a culmination leading to meeting friends and family and the added bonus of a gift or two. Players, in a strange way, are akin to presents – you can’t wait to check them out, espec...

Today I’ll helping you make the best choices with your waiver claim, or your FAAB points, to make sure you’re winning on the waiver wire f...
