Commentary

Start D'Andre Swift this weekend when the Detroit Lions host the Minnesota Vikings who have given up the 11th most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Swift will not return the investment to fantasy managers that drafted him in the early rounds, but he can deliver in the clutch to help you win your fantasy championship.

Pittsburgh plays host to the Baltimore Ravens in a divisional matchup this coming weekend where Lamar Jackson is set to miss the next week or two from a sprained PCL injury to his knee. This is great news for the Steelers defense as they will have a much easier time containing the Ravens without Jackson’s dynamic mobility.

The fantasy football season in my league is coming to an end and I am trying to finish on a high note. If you are comfortably in the playoffs, your goal this week is to pull together a full dress ...

Justin Herbert can exploit Las Vegas easily, and he has the upside to be the highest scoring fantasy quarterback for the week. His combination of a high floor and upside justify his costly DFS salary.

Miami holds one Ace in this game which will be their laser-like precision through the air, but San Francisco holds the rest of the deck. The Ace in Miami's hand may be enough to win the hand but San Francisco can make a lot more winners on the turn and the river.

White should encore his Week 12 performance when the New York Jets visit Minnesota, who has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and have been struggling mightily defensively over the last two weeks. If your quarterback is on bye or not meeting expectations, try plugging in White this weekend as a QB3 with a high ceiling but also still a wildcard.

Daniel Jones can get into trouble while under heavy duress, especially if the Giants can’t get Saquon Barkley going. This game should be a low-scoring affair with some sacks and turnovers being a possibility. These factors make for a strong case to use Washington as a streaming defense this week.

I’m not what you would call a “wise man.” Matter of fact, most people don’t consider me to be either of those two adjectives. But one thing you can’t say about me is that I’m afraid to put my money ...

I just needed Tua Tagovailoa to play a complete game; then there was a 30-point barrage and he stopped playing in the third quarter. This means he stays healthy but his day stops with a lead at 20 overall points. How great would another two or three drives be? I will never know.

Carolina has switched to Sam Darnold at quarterback, which is a positive for almost any defense he is facing with how much time he has had off. Darnold should be live for interceptions and sacks against the Broncos. Denver is a great streaming option at defense this week.

Walker is very exciting and can score from anywhere on the field, but he does need to show he can consistently earn tougher yards and not attempt to dance and dazzle his way out of traffic at times. Walker can only improve as a runner in the weeks ahead, and his six receptions in Week 9 was an encouraging sign.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. The NFL has zero teams on a bye. This makes this week the first important week of the year. It is like fine dining as in many ways it is the amuse-bouche to a meal that ends ...

Have the Tennessee Titans finally put together an effective passing attack? Is David Montgomery operating as a workhorse ball carrier again? Who are the two new starting tailbacks and will you find them on the waiver wire? Is it time ...

With so much salary spent on quarterback and wide receiver, budget options become necessary. Dawson Knox certainly fits the bill. His salary has been hammered down because of some quiet performances over the last few weeks. His fortunes in this offense however, can turn on a dime.

At the end of the day though, I need a healthy Joe Burrow in order to remain a threat in my league. Getting Burrow out of this contest in good health is my Week 11’s biggest concern.

Even though winter is coming, the World Cup of Soccer is starting in November. World Cup battles bring out the craziest and epic football matches. The usual teams are favored and I will watch the United States team as always. I just never actually wrote about the World Cup during the middle of the NFL season.

Jonathan Taylor admittedly has issues of his own to overcome—the Colts can't pass the ball at all right now, and the offensive line has been awful. But if he can't get it done in Week 10, it's officially time to freak out.

Kansas City hosts Jacksonville in a juicy fantasy matchup this Sunday. The Chiefs have been one of the best offenses in the league and will take advantage of the Jaguars poor defense.

Justin Fields went from potential fill-in starter to QB1 in a week! If he’s available on your waiver wire or sitting on your bench, start him for Week 10 when Chicago hosts division rival Detroit, who allows the third-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

The AFC is trying to find a dominant team. It appeared to be the Buffalo Bills and a bunch of second tier participants like the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens. Now it has been blown wide open with more teams like the N.Y. Jets, Tennessee, and Miami throwing their hat into the ring.

Jacksonville has holes all over the defensive side of the ball. Their secondary is below average and they struggle to pressure opposing quarterbacks. That sets up perfectly for a player like Derek Carr, who operates best with good pocket protection.

If you’re having girl problems, I feel bad for you son, I’ve got 99 problems and unfortunately for me, currently, the Cincinnati Bengals are the vast majority of them.

Brandin Cooks, who should play well... wait, scratch that, now Brandin Cooks will not play and sounds to be upset that he wasn't dealt at the deadline to a contender. Ugh, here we go again. Nico Collins too won't play so that leaves.. well.. nobody.

When Christian McCaffrey was traded to San Francisco a couple of weeks ago from Carolina, opportunity knocked for D’Onta Foreman. Over his last two games, he has totaled 263 yards, rushed for nearly 6 yards per carry, and scored three times.

Atlanta hosts the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday in an interesting matchup. The Chargers are coming back from the bye week, still railing from a multitude of injuries. Atlanta's defense is bad by the stats, but it has been fantasy viable. That is mostly from its ability to generate turnovers. Its pressure rate has improved in recent weeks as well, which bodes well against a weak Chargers offensive line.

Wow! It is accelerating. Can you feel it? It is Week 9 and my team is a hot mess. I want to say something profound but I cannot. I watched ... It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ... and it was awesome! Welcome November.

Detroit will be hosting Miami in a matchup that carries one of the highest point totals on the weekend. The best aspect of these teams from a DFS perspective is that their offenses are very concentrated amongst a few key players.

Last week, Tee Higgins broke the plane of the end zone by what seemed like 40 feet as he dove in for a score. But these clowns still decided to make out with a Microsoft Surface for ten minutes just to be “sure”. Unless they were swiping right on Giselle’s newly established dating profile, what could they possibly be looking at that distracted them so?

With a home matchup against division rival Tennessee, who allows the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Davis Mills should be considered a QB2 this week with a solid floor. In one previous game against Tennessee, Mills threw for three touchdowns!

Najee Harris had his second touchdown catch of the season in Week 6. He has a touchdown in two of his past three road games. Harris has scored a touchdown in each of his six career games in prime time and has 100-plus scrimmage yards in two of his past three games in prime time.
