Charles Woodson has been ruled out for six weeks. That turns an already average pass defense into a relatively poor one. Although it’s hard to say just how much of an impact this will have when looking at your fantasy teams, Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon owners may want to consider starting them this week. […]

Alright, so everyone’s talking about Shonn Greene and with 32 carries for 161 yards and 3 TDs, why shouldn’t they be? However, one week doesn’t mean anything when it comes to the overall skill of a player. The Colts have one of the worst rush defenses in the league and with an early lead, there […]

Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning, Michael Vick and Philip Rivers are all on bye this week. So are all the players that they throw to. Well, unless you count all of the opposing defenses Vick has been throwing to recently. Still, those are some big QB, WR, and TE shoes to fill for your fantasy teams. […]

Bench Arian Foster this week. Just kidding. Can you imagine? Foster’s a solid play even when he’s on bye. At least he’d be a better play than DeAngelo Williams was last week. Thankfully Foster’s not on bye this week so he’s obviously starting for every fantasy team that’s fortunate enough to own him. There are […]

Danny Amendola, whose clavicle popped IN and came dangerously close to ending his life, might actually be back this season, but it will likely be at least a month before his return and that’s incredibly damaging to Sam Bradford’s value. With The Panthers, Bears, Jaguars and Saints all on bye in week 6, fantasy owners […]

Chris Johnson is officially the most frustrating player in all of Fantasy Football. In his first three games, he rushed for a total of 45 yards against decent, but not great run defenses. So what does he do against the hardest defense he’s faced this year? He carries the ball 25 times for 141 yards. […]

The Cowboys, Lions, Raiders and Buccaneers are all on bye this week. That means players like Dez Bryant, Vincent Jackson, Calvin Johnson, Tony Romo, and Matthew Stafford are not available this week. These are some substantially bigger names than we were missing last week so playing matchups with your backup players becomes far more important. […]

With bye weeks starting to kick in, fantasy owners need to keep an even closer eye on matchups to determine the best plug-in players for their typical week to week starters. Donald Brown and Isaac Redman may not have been elite talents, but their production will still be missed by some, so who can you […]

The phrase “any given Sunday” is thrown around a lot for a good reason. Every player in the NFL is there because they were one of the best available so every NFL team is certainly equipped with the potential to beat any other team. Why do I bring this up? Matchups are definitely important, but […]

Owners of Chris Johnson might be justified in their concerns thus far, but after two weeks, there are plenty of running backs who have yet to have the opportunity to break out for a huge fantasy game. One such player is Maurice Jones-Drew. Sure, he scored a TD off of a short pass in week […]

Two weeks into the season and already this season has been filled with unpredictable moments and undrafted players with standout performances. Unfortunately, there has been very little consistency. Randall Cobb, for instance, caught 9 passes in week 1 against an impressive 49ers defense, but managed only one the following week against da Bears. Still, to […]

Did you gamble on Adrian Peterson in week 1? If not, watching AP rack up the points on your bench was probably the only thing more painful than watching the replacement refs botch 217 calls on Sunday. That was the exact number, I counted. Having points just sitting on your bench might hurt, but there’s […]
