Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram dominated the New Orleans backfield all season long and probably will play very few snaps if any at all. Dwayne Washington is the only other true tailback on the roster, so he’s expected to carry the bulk of the rushing load.

When the Monday night clash between the Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos goes in the books, so will the 2018 fantasy football season for most of us. Check out Matt's list of fantasy stars that he thinks will trend up or down for the 2019 season.

If you throw out Adrian Peterson’s 90-yard touchdown run against the Philadelphia Eagles back in Week 13, he has done very little to impress in a cratering Washington offense that continues to drag him down.

Is it okay to trust a Philadelphia Eagles wideout not named Golden Tate? Perhaps you remember this guy. If he’s on your roster, he probably has been collecting dust on the end of the bench.

Aaron Jones scored in his fifth straight game, and the second-year pro has hit pay dirt eight times in the last seven weeks. However, the Bears defense has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards, the fewest rushing touchdowns and the fewest fantasy points to running backs.

The must-start Keenan Allen is riding a hot streak of six straight games with either 100-plus receiving yards or at least one scoring grab. The Chiefs have permitted the sixth-most receptions to wideouts, and other interior wideouts like Allen have had success attacking the Kansas City this season.

Week 14 of the NFL season will forever live on in the memories (or the nightmares) of fantasy managers because of the monster performances from Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Amari Cooper and George Kittle, and because of the laundry list ...

LeSean McCoy’s lone 100-yard game of the season – and his only outing in which he has scored in 2018 – came against the New York Jets back in Week 10. If McCoy has been collecting dust on the end of your fantasy bench, dust him off and insert him into your starting lineup.

Derrick Henry didn't erupt against the Jets as many had expected, but the early-down bulldozer still hit pay dirt for the fifth time in his last six games. Even though Jacksonville has yielded the sixth-fewest rushing yards and the second-fewest rushing touchdowns to the tailback position, the touchdown-dependent Henry has some things working in his favor.

If you own this elite every-down tailback, you’re probably not a happy camper right now after what happened at Lambeau Field this past Sunday. Is it time to give up on DJ31?

Although Dak Prescott hasn’t eclipsed the 300-yard mark this season, he has tossed multiple touchdown passes in two of four games played with Cooper. New Orleans has been stingy against the run, as noted, so this matchup projects for high-volume throwing from Prescott.

Callaway enjoyed one of his best outings of the season, reeling in four passes for 62 yards and his third touchdown of the season on five targets. It’s the third time in Callaway’s last four games that he either scored or amassed 50-plus receiving yards.

A Falcons secondary that has hemorrhaged the seventh-most passing yards and the third-most touchdown tosses could give Baker Mayfield his second career 300-yard game. He has thrown for two scores in three straight contests.

This looks like a strong Ezekiel Elliott matchup. The red-hot Elliott has averaged 28 touches, 194 combo yards and 1.5 touchdowns per game in the last two weeks. His usage as a receiver has also jumped dramatically.

This past Sunday, we finally saw the Hilton that we remember from 2016. He erupted, hauling in all nine of his targets for 155 yards and two touchdowns during his team’s home win over the Tennessee Titans.

Assuming Mixon is healthy enough to go – check his status – the second year pro is a weak hope-for-high-volume-in-a-tough-matchup start. If Mixon sits, Giovani Bernard would get the start.

This is the Green Bay Packers’ fifth road contest of the season, and the Packers definitely haven’t been road warriors. Green Bay is 0-4 away from home, and the Packers have scored 23 or fewer points in three of those losses.

Mike Evans' showing against Washington was a major disappointment. Facing a Burgundy and Gold defense that had hemorrhaged the most catches, the most receiving yards and the most scoring grabs (tie) to the wideout position during the last month.

The super-leaky Cincinnati Bengals defense has hemorrhaged 107 points in the last three weeks, so expect a scoring festival from Drew Brees and company. Cincinnati has allowed the third-most passing yards and the fifth-most touchdown passes on the season.

The must-start Christian McCaffrey, coming off his second two-score game of the season, has been running much better – and scoring more – lately, and his role in the passing game remains rock solid.

Have the San Francisco 49ers provided us with another fantasy-relevant quarterback? Is it time for Mark Ingram owners to smack the panic button? Should Tarik Cohen owners think about doing that, too? Is another tight end emerging in what has ...

This clearly looks like a Tarik Cohen matchup, but I also like Jordan Howard to cobble together a solid outing thanks to some fourth-quarter clock-killing touches since it’s hard to see game script turning negative on him.

Struggling Jordy Nelson will draw coverage from Richard Sherman. Mediocre 31-year-old Brandon LaFell (Jon Gruden loves his veterans) quietly operated as the replacement for Amari Cooper last week (3-39-1 on four targets) and not Martavis Bryant who posted a goose-egg on zero targets.

Is it time to give up on Doug Baldwin? Is it time to trust DeVante Parker? Who is Aaron Rodgers’ second-favorite wideout? Is there a new sheriff in the Philadelphia backfield? Senior FantasySharks.com writer Matt Wilson tackles those questions in ...

It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl hangover is still lingering. After showing strong flashes of their 2017 championship form during a 34-13 road victory over the New York Giants in Week 6, the Eagles followed that up with a head-scratching 21-17 home loss to the Carolina Panthers. Can the Philadelphia offense exploit a banged-up Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has allowed an average of 30 points per game the last three weeks?

Riding a two-game road losing streak, an injury-depleted Miami Dolphins offense (Ryan Tannehill, Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson won’t play) has the misfortune of facing a Houston Texans defense that has been playing much better lately. This is also a grudge match between fill-in starter Brock Osweiler and his former team.

This was Jordan Reed’s third straight performance under 50 yards. The sixth-year pro has scored just once (Week 1), and he hasn’t caught more than six passes or amassed more than 65 yards in a contest despite averaging a solid six targets per game.

Tennessee has scored only two touchdowns in its last four games and has tallied just five touchdowns in half a dozen games played. There are simply no safe fantasy starters here. Marcus Mariota, playing hurt and operating behind a banged-up offensive line, has been terrible. In three road contests, he has tossed no touchdown passes and has passed for less than 130 yards in all of them.

Case Keenum is coming off two straight outings with at least 320 passing yards and two touchdown tosses. The Broncos will emphasize the run against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards to the tailback position, so yet another big outing from Keenum is unlikely.

So far this season, Jordan Reed has started five straight contests and is currently ranked either first or second on Washington in targets, catches, receiving yards and scoring grabs, but he hasn’t generated anything resembling elite production. The sixth-year pro has hit pay dirt just once (Week 1), and he hasn’t caught more than six passes or amassed more than 65 yards in a contest despite averaging a solid six targets per contest.

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. That’s what we learned about the Atlanta Falcons offense last week. In each of their three home contests, the Falcons have scored at least 31 points, but they’ve tallied fewer than 18 points in two road contests played outdoors.

In a perfect fantasy football universe, we wouldn’t have unpredictable committee backfields driving us crazy. Five weeks into the NFL season, some backfields are still unsettled. Senior FantasySharks.com writer Matt Wilson gives us his take on each one, and urges ...

There’s nothing like a committee backfield to frustrate the heck out of fantasy owners. In the aftermath of the Week 4 Sunday NFL games, we have four backfields possibly undergoing changes just in time for Week 5. Senior FantasySharks.com writer ...

Remember all that optimism about the New York Jets after they pounded the Detroit Lions back in Week 1? After watching the Jets offense score 17 or fewer points in their last two outings, which were both losses, fantasy owners receieved a reality check about Gang Green.

A Los Angeles Rams defense that has allowed the fewest points in the NFL won’t have the services of starting outside cornerbacks Aqib Talib (ankle) and Marcus Peters (calf), and inside linebacker Mark Barron.

Is it time to lower expectations for Andrew Luck? Is it time to give up on a certain Chicago Bears’ wideout? Is Washington’s starting tight end still capable of elite production? FantasySharks.com senior writer Matt Wilson answers those questions and ...

Any resemblance between the 2017 New Orleans Saints and the 2018 version is purely coincidental right now. The Saints apparently have forgotten that they were the NFL’s fifth-best rushing team last year, and the development of what had been touted as an up-and-coming defense has slammed into reverse.

Darnold’s favorite target, Quincy Enunwa, is averaging 10.5 targets per contest and remains the safest PPR play in the Gang Green receiver corps. However, Darnold’s connection with Robby Anderson remains a work in progress.

Is there any hope for a struggling every-down tailback? Is there a legit second receiving option in the Cincinnati Bengals’ passing attack? Is there finally a fantasy relevant tight end in Pittsburgh? Is there any clarity in the Indianapolis Colts ...

The long-awaited unveil of new Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy’s offense started off great but fizzled out during the team’s Week 1 road loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Bears scored just once, and Mitch Trubisky, who turned in a mixed bag of a performance, reminded us that he’s still a work in progress.
