While the Broncos knew when they drafted him that Jake Butt may not play in 2017 they did not expect the same from 3rd round pick Carlos Henderson – he was injured in the preseason. Both are currently on season ending injured reserve, but both have a very strong chance of starting as soon as next season.

Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson, and Bryce Love are all competing for the Heisman Trophy that will be presented Saturday night. I will examine their potential in the NFL below with Pro Comparisons and analysis. Let’s Dive In! Winner Prediction: Baker ...

There will be personnel changes for San Francisco come season’s end, but some continuity is important for the development of any young quarterback. Trent Taylor is cheap, cost controlled, uniquely skilled, and a great fit for both coach Kyle Shanahan and his new quarterback.

Josh Reynolds?  Am I really considering him as I make my final push for the playoffs (or first round bye)?  I’m already in, but if I’m preparing for the best possible lineups in December – this is the guy that’s ...

This week’s waiver wire is under whelming.  That’s the reality in our game; there isn’t going to be gold to dig up every week.  I’ll uncover every rock possible before coming to that conclusion, but unfortunately some weeks there just ...

What kind of crazy person would suggest picking up a player that hasn’t played in almost two months with less than 500 career yards on a team that hasn’t won a game since 2016? This guy, clearly.

The main question about Curtis Samuel was, "How involved would he be in the Panthers offense in the post Kelvin Benjamin era?" The answer was – a lot.

Despite his upright running style and frame, he has noteworthy power at the point of contact. He also displays tremendous balance – both when battling a defender and in space. Most players don’t have the change of direction or explosion that Kenyan Drake displays when he goes into and out of his breaks.

I don’t often find myself writing about a 7th year running back with less than 300 career touches, but…here we are.  Some already know the story of Dion Lewis but for those who don’t, he was lost in LeSean McCoy’s ...

Usually in this space I discuss up-and-coming players.  Guys you may know on a name basis, but may not know much beyond that.  This week I’m taking a different angle.  There are interesting waiver wire considerations discussed by other Sharks ...

I am sure you know by now why Roger Lewis is a hot name in our game.  Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard, and Dwayne Harris all left the New York Giants Week 5 game due to injury.  Lewis ...

Josh Doctson gave defenses problems throughout his time at TCU, but he was an absolute monster before getting injured his Senior season.  His 66 catch, 1,160 yard (17.6 ypc), 13 TD seven game stretch vaulted him up to the 1st ...

Alex Collins? A guy who was cut Sept. 1? That’s who we’re talking about this week? Yep, I am digging deep for this week’s edition. First, this is not just about opportunity; this is about talent too. Let’s start with ...

Buy low and sell high; they’re terms that are thrown around quite frequently in our game and you’ve undoubtedly read them dozens or even hundreds of times before. What about buying high? Not a phrase that’s thrown around too often, ...

The Los Angeles (then San Diego) Chargers were in dire straits after losing Keenan Allen in the first half of Game 1 in 2016. They drafted Hunter Henry to eventually replace Antonio Gates, but they did not have a ready-made in-house alternative to cover losing ...

Welcome back to the big, bright world that is fantasy football. It’s been an awful long dry spell since Week 17 of 2016 but we’ve finally arrived once again at the beginning of Week 1 of the NFL season. Chances ...

Here are the results from the NFC Training Camp Battles previously published in the Fantasy Sharks VIP Preseason Report. Arizona Wide Receivers – John Brown vs. J.J. Nelson Initial Outlook: “Both Brown and Nelson are very similar players as 5-foot-10 speedsters, ...

Here are the results from the AFC Training Camp Battles previously published in the Fantasy Sharks VIP Preseason Report. Baltimore Running Backs – Terrance West vs. Danny Woodhead vs. Javorius Allen Initial Outlook: “Entering training camp, Baltimore does not have a ...

Week 3 of the preseason has come and gone, so I’m here to give you one last recap. If you haven’t checked out the recaps for Week 1 and Week 2, give them a read. This week we finally got ...

One year ago, Pittsburgh wide receiver Antonio Brown was the No. 1 overall pick in a great many fantasy football drafts – enough that his average draft position (ADP) at My Fantasy League was No. 1. He was the top dog. The big kahuna. ...

Fantasy spotlight looks at the potential of New Orleans’ Michael Thomas this week. I have been waiting for this issue of Fantasy Spotlight because I am really excited to see what type of year Thomas is going to have in 2017. ...

In this issue of fantasy spotlight we focus on Melvin Gordon of the Los Angeles Chargers. After a disappointing rookie campaign, Gordon exploded on to the scene in 2016. He anchored a fairly productive backfield and received the lion’s share of carries with ...

Kirk Cousins balked at the latest contract offer by Washington. In a rather passive aggressive manner through a public tweet sent by Washington’s brain trust clearly placing the blame on Cousins for not making a “long term” deal happen. This is ...

It’s that time of year, folks! Get out your notepads, start writing your notes and fantasize about the ways you can mix and match every player to create a fantasy football mega-team. It all starts off with research and preparation. ...

This is a list of who I regard as the Top 10 fantasy tight ends at the moment (other lists available: running backs and wide receivers). The analysis below is intended to offer contrarian and in-depth perspectives. While I am not saying don’t ...

First-round selections feel like a no-doubt home run. They’re going to kill it, and for players with question marks we choose to ignore every red flag to convince ourselves nothing bad will happen. Nod your head if that sounds familiar, ...

This is a list of who I regard as the Top 10 fantasy wide receivers at the moment (see my piece on running backs here). The analysis below is intended to offer contrarian and in-depth perspectives. While I am not saying don’t ...

This is a list of who I regard as the Top 10 fantasy running backs at the moment. The analysis below is intended to offer contrarian perspectives, so it may appear as there is some excessive negativity surrounding these guys, ...

If you’re still alive, your lineup is what it is; it’s time to push all of your chips to the middle and hope for the best.  As for everyone else? And for that matter the bench space left on the ...

Is it possible Melvin Gordon returns this season?  Sure, but his hip injury Sunday was bad enough to require him to be carted off the field.  Additionally, it was later revealed he is also dealing with a knee injury.  For ...

I’m a runner.  I get that most of you aren’t, but running is what I know; running is what I love.  I got injured late Summer 2014.  I knew I was injured, but I didn’t stop exercising anyway.  Eighteen months ...

It seems early to say this, but the Tennessee Titans season may depend on what happens this weekend. At 5-5 it seems rather early to make such statements, but a loss this week puts them at least two games in ...

The odds are stacked against C.J. Prosise, but he has an opportunity this week. Now, why are you reading about C.J. Prosise? His second half snap count in Week 9 against Buffalo was 15, but other Seattle running backs were limited ...

In 2010, Kansas City drafted a 5’8″, 170-pound running back.  In 2014, Kansas City draft a 5’10″, 176-pound running back.  And in 2016, Kansas City drafted a 5’9″, 185-pound running back.  I know, what are they thinking?  Is this insanity? ...

Patterson was an easy player to dismiss on waivers earlier in October.  Stefon Diggs was not 100%, Charles Johnson looked lost, and the Vikings clearly didn’t think Laquon Treadwell was ready.  The Vikings are clearly starting to take him seriously; ...

Flashes were there before an injury derailed his rookie season, but there hasn’t been much to talk about concerning Montgomery since.  Then out of the blue he got 13 touches in Week 6.  There were reports all week that he’d ...

I get it, the first 5 weeks have been frustrating to own Tyler Lockett.  The offense as a whole got off to a bad start then Russell Wilson got hurt (twice) and it came out later that Lockett was trying to ...

Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Wallace were a match made in heaven.  Big Ben sporting a big, accurate arm and an uncanny ability to extend plays in the pocket; Wallace getting open down field, especially after a play breaks down.  Wallace ...

There really isn’t much of a surprise to this week’s hot waiver wire add. The Chicago running situation was a mess, but Jeremy Langford‘s injury helped sort that out. At least for the next 4-6 weeks it’s Jordan Howard’s show. It ...

Do I own him in a dynasty league?  Yes.  Did I put waiver claims in for him?  Also, yes.  Do I think the hype train is heading towards the out of control zone?  Absolutely, yes. There has been a steady ...
