We welcome back into the fold some familiar faces this week, but also say goodbye to the likes of DeAndre Hopkins, Matthew Stafford and the prodigal son, DeShaun Watson. It's safe to say no home team is a guaranteed certainty this week, especially with Sunday night's blockbuster between the Falcons and Patriots on the cards. For those of you in a standard PPR league, your rankings follow as below. Quarterback RankingsRank  Player  Team  Opponent 1  Tom Brady  NE  vs. ATL 2  Matt Ryan   ATL  @NE…

Thank god we finally saw the return of a little smashmouth football in Week 6. Many of the game's elite RB's shone brightly on Sunday, but Le'Veon Bell was once again among the standouts, rushing for 179 yards and a TD. If I could somehow show the same kind of patience whilst driving as Bell does waiting for a hole to open up in the backfield, my blood pressure would be several points lower. Seriously though, Bell's 28.1 fantasy points against the Chiefs D/ST was widely unexpected. Then again, you can't assume anything this…

With one major exception, Week 5 was an all-around solid week for the quarterback position in fantasy. A total of nine QBs threw for over 300 yards, which is the second most this season behind 10 in Week 3. One of those nine players was Ben Roethlisberger. Not surprising, right?

Big Ben just hasn’t looked the same this season and is definitely not worth starting in single-QB leagues anymore.On the other end of the spectrum last…

The moment you think you have this fantasy thing figured out, it turns around and bites you on the hand. Big-time injuries, more breakout players, and another crazy week in the NFL. In case there was ever any doubt, DeShaun Watson was your highest scoring player on Sunday with 35.8 points. The Texans lost, but 3 TDs to DeAndre Hopkins makes him a legitimate QB1 going forward. Here's your Week 5 recap: Thumbs UpWhen you're hot, you're hot. Most teams would have settled for overtime, but Aaron Rodgers ain't like the…

We’re back with our wide receiver matchups this week after a solid week. This week, we once again revisit a few familiar names and secondaries. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on Twitter @JonSauber. Favorable Matchups Randall Cobb @ Dallas CowboysThis game should be a shootout thanks to two really bad secondaries. Randall Cobb has seen 25 targets in three games this year. That number would’ve been higher if the Packers threw the ball more than 26 times last week. This week, it’s far less likely that…
