First up are the surging Indianapolis Colts at the Kansas City Chiefs. I sense either brilliance from Patrick Mahomes or another scheme by the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts run-run-run and throw-throw-throw so I see the latter and another road victory this playoff season for the Colts.

In 2018 the NFL was watched more than 2017. But more importantly, an NFL game occupied 40 of the Top 50 slots in the television ratings for 2018. An 80 percent mind-share is outrageous.

My team is not my team. Geez Louise I love DeShaun Watson. He went for 44 points this week! Come on! The problem is the rest of my team has not shown up for the last five weeks.

The New York Jets’ young wide receiver was a valuable waiver-wire add down the stretch last season and seems to be in the midst of another hot streak this season.

I bet big on the fact that wide receiver Amari Cooper would go for (at least) a respectable 30 points after getting 49 with Dallas last week. Especially against Indianapolis, right? …double uh-oh.

Robert Woods has been targeted at least five times and gained at least 70 receiving yards in every game except Week 1. The Rams should return to offensive domination when they welcome Philadelphia, who have surrendered the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers, and was just recently torched by Amari Cooper.

Well hello there.  I am on a bye week and I am fretful.  I take the bye week very seriously and I try to put my best team forward just to see if I can pick a team that can ...

Adam Humphries has quietly posted a decent receiving line over the last eight games by averaging more than 63 receiving yards and scoring five touchdowns in that timeframe. With nine targets in Week 13, take a look at Humphries as a low-end WR3 or deep FLEX.

On the last week of our fantasy football season, RB Phillip Lindsay, RB James Conner, and QB Deshaun Watson went for a combined 70 points. Only Phillip Lindsay went for a 28 burger but that was enough. I have been winning by getting 90 points from my Top 3 players and coasting in.

Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are not the only rookie quarterbacks making a nice first impression this season. Baltimore rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson has averaged 164 passing yards, 95 rushing yards and totaled three touchdowns in two starts.

I have a decent lineup and I have a fantastic bench. And on that bench is WR Amari Cooper because he has been struggling to score. Amari Cooper goes for a 38 burger and I lose the week.

It can be difficult trusting a talented running back who is clearly splitting his workload, even on the prolific offense of the New Orleans Saints. Although Alvin Kamara may produce more points in your fantasy football league especially in PPR format, veteran back Mark Ingram has been extremely effective .

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  I consider it one of the greatest holidays because most people get Thursday and Friday off.  How cool is that? So enjoy your Turkey.  Enjoy your stuffing.  Devour that pumpkin pie.  Thanksgiving is a ...

Even with the amount of wideouts in Philadelphia, Jeffery should break out of his brief slump when he visits the New Orleans secondary, who has surrendered the most fantasy points (including most receiving yards and touchdowns) to wide receivers.

Week 11 has arrived.  We are nearing the home stretch and the Bye weeks are getting down to the final count.  Every week is important and sometimes your team cannot find the end zone.  Somehow it becomes critical to try ...

The combination of Belichick and Tom Brady have cast a penumbra over the NFL. I am going to explain it through a list of bulleted sentences. Check this out …

The NFL has been pumping up this game in New England where Aaron Rodgers and company come to play. Fantasy stats of the week come from the Green Bay passing game as they shred the Patriots defense; there's just no way to sugarcoat it.

As we look ahead at Week 8, let’s rewind through several few Week 7 highlights.  Can the Los Angeles Rams be stopped…or even slowed down?  They won their 7th straight and continue as the NFL’s only undefeated team as they ...

Some believe that 16th century Spanish explorer Ponce de León found the "Fountain of Youth" in Florida, Miami Dolphins’ veteran running back Frank Gore has rediscovered it in 2018! At 35 years old, he is the oldest running back in the NFL, yet just became the first to rush for 100-yards against the Chicago Bears’ defense.

Atlanta has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, including three passing touchdowns allowed in each of the last three games. Over his career, Jameis Winston has a 110.0 quarterback rating with 14 total touchdowns in five games against Atlanta..

Where is the season going? It is on fast forward and I lost running back Jay Ajayi. Just when you thought the reigning Super Bowl Champions would be forced to run the football they find themselves without a running back and one game under .500.

Although Week 5 was brimming with amazing performances, there were several events that “almost” happened.  After winning last week, the Cleveland Browns almost won their 2nd game in a row, but lost a lead in a bitter overtime defeat.  The ...

Despite starting out 3-1 on the opening four matches day one, the US went on to only earn 7 ½ more points out of a possibility of 24 more to be had. In the end Team Europe took back the Ryder Cup with a score of 17 ½ to 10 ½ . It was ugly and we make no excuses. The US Ryder Cup team seems more out-of-synch on European soil than ever before.

Just when it appeared that rookie Rashaad Penny would receive the bulk of carries in Seattle over Chris Carson, Week 3 proved otherwise. Penny only managed 8 yards from seven carries, while Carson broke out for 102 rushing yards, 22 receiving yards, and a touchdown last weekend.

Happy Week 4 in the NFL my friends and we are witness to history. Tiger Woods wins a golf tournament! The actual Fed Ex Cup Tournament Championship no less!  That takes temerity!  Now back to the NFL. Did you notice ...

After Week 1, it can be easy to overreact to a shocking performance whether it was superb or lackluster.  If a player performs similarly in Week 2, then maybe their performance was indeed legit and not a fluke!  Quarterbacks Patrick ...

Only two changes but the Red Sox have the best record in all of baseball. Their record is 103-47 as of this writing. That is 56 games over .500, and to put it bluntly, the team hits the ball and this team wins regular season baseball games. It just doesn’t make sense to see a team win 103 games with 12 more games to play.

I may be the last writer left standing that is still beating the LeSean McCoy drum but here I am. If the Bills were smart, they'd run and pass to McCoy a whole lot, no matter what the game situation says. If they're not so smart, like last week, they'll actually try and win the game.

With a home matchup against the Indianapolis Colts’ defense who allowed over five yards per carry in Week 1, look for Chris Thompson to have an encore performance and serve as a low-end RB2 or FLEX with a high ceiling.

What do you do when you turn 50? I asked that question earlier this year and came up with a long weekend in Rapid City South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Custer State Park. So I got these off of my bucket list and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Here are some takeaways.

Although the start of every NFL season offers its typical share of intrigue as teams welcome new stars, last year’s breakout performers aim to deliver an encore, and rookies work to shine on the big stage. Superstars like Aaron Rodgers, ...

Week 3 of the preseason — “dress rehearsal week” — is over, which means it’s once again time to analyze the tape. Since most fantasy-relevant players played limited snaps against vanilla defenses, it’s important to avoid overreacting to good or ...

Week 2 of the preseason is in the books, which means it’s time for another recap. Since most fantasy-relevant players played limited snaps against vanilla defenses, it’s important to avoid overreacting to good or bad performances. But if you watch ...

Football is finally here, which means it’s time to analyze what we saw in the first week of the preseason. Since most fantasy-relevant players played limited snaps against vanilla defenses, it’s important to avoid overreacting to good or bad performances. ...

With Jon Gruden finally stepping away from the ESPN booth and back into coaching, whether or not he can get Derek Carr back on his career trajectory of becoming one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL will be a storyline to monitor in 2018.

The famous phrase “hindsight is 20/20” couldn’t be more true than in fantasy football. As you look back at your league’s draft results page, early pickups and drops and waiver adds, it becomes evident that one or two positive or ...

The Jets know that their only chance at beating the Patriots will come if they can run the ball. No other scenario wins them this game. They also know that the only thing they actually can do somewhat well is run the football. Another nice day is on the way for Bilal Powell.

Although he hasn’t topped 50 yards receiving since Week 11, Vernon Davis has scored in two of his last three games. With a matchup against the New York Giants’ secondary who has allowed the most fantasy points including most touchdowns to opposing tight ends, Davis should be a key target for Kirk Cousins this weekend.

With a matchup against the Buffalo Bills who have allowed the most points and 2nd most rushing yards to opposing running backs, Lewis needs to be started as an RB2 or Flex with high upside. He ran for 92 yards against Buffalo in Week 13, but should receive even more work this weekend.

Ben Roethlisberger fakes a spike and throws it late over the middle to only have it get tipped and intercepted … and a loss! What is up with New England and these crazy within the moment games? It was Tom Brady’s 51st comeback in his career. Fifty Freaking One!
