What in the name of Peyton Manning’s large forehead is going on with Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons offense? They had a juicy matchup with a hobbled New England secondary and could muster only seven points? What’s up with that Matty Ice? Oh, I know. Your offensive coordinator is a joke. There’s too much talent on this offense to bench Ryan, but this is starting to get worrisome.This is the first week with six teams on a bye, leaving us with only 26 QBs on the docket for Week 8. Owners in 2-QB leagues or those who like…

With the Cardinals, Packers, Jaguars, Rams, Giants, and Titans all on a bye this week, regular old football fans are probably praying for more action following Week 7's sedative. Fantasy football fans, however, are once again dealing with the wrath of the bye week, losing a handful of players and replacing them with the likes of Kenny Stills, Dion Lewis, or whoever else is red hot at the moment. It's a tough week as far as rankings are concerned, and with so many injuries occurring to the likes of Dan Bailey and, of course,…

Edging on the midway point of the season, it seems fairly obvious that fantasy owners really need to take the good with the bad.

We’re back with another wide receiver matchup report. This week is NFC East heavy and features a few receivers who have been fantasy disappointments to this point in the season. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on Twitter @JonSauber. Favorable Receiver Matchups Alshon Jeffery vs. Washington Last week, Jeffery racked up double-digit targets for the second time this season. That’s a good sign for the Eagles’ number one wide receiver. He had the chance for two more big plays, but he was interfered with by…

Are Aaron Rodgers owners done mourning his season-ending injury yet? No, probably not. Week 6 was a rough one at the top. Rodgers broke his right collarbone, ending his season, and both Tom Brady and Drew Brees looked like mortals despite each having a plus matchup. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there, WITH A NEW COLLARBONE! Sorry Aaron, didn’t work. Stepping in under center in Green Bay is the incredibly uninspiring Brett Hundley. No thanks.We only have two QBs on a bye this week but one of them happens to be the…
