How to NOT suck at fantasy football

  10 Moves To Make Before Your Trade Deadline   1) Buy Miles Sanders If you can get Sanders for a combination of a WR2 + RB2/Flex I'd go for the upgrade. The Eagles offense is getting healthy all at once and the matchups for Sanders moving forward are favorable. The upgrade in total offense for the Eagles gives Miles a decent shot at a TD or 2 every week. 2) Buy Derrick Henry If you are lined up to make your playoffs do whatever you can to get Derrick Henry. He will be expensive but his playoff schedule is just fantastic. JAX, DET, GB. It doesn't get much better than that. If your trade deadline is a little later you can actually wait a week or two (he has a few rough matchups upcoming) then shoot your shot. He's a league winner for a playoff bound team. 3) Buy Kareem Hunt This is a buy low. He's not going to be valued any lower than he is now. With Chubb coming back and Hunt not exactly capitalizing on the feature back opportunity he was afforded the past f...

             Thursday Night Football Preview     Maybe our best matchup yet on TNF We get a battle for 1st in the AFC south featuring the league's top run defense against Derrick Henry and the Titans run offense. Unfortunately for Henry managers in fantasy you might need to temper expectations. For the rest of the Fantasy options in this game I'll list where I'm comfortable starting them in their respective positions as usual. QB1 Ryan Tannehill This is very borderline. He's basically a streaming option but I'd rather start guys like Goff or Big Ben (if healthy) over him. The Colts have been exposed to be somewhat weak against the pass. Tannehill and company should be able to take advantage of that.  RB1 Derrick Henry I already spoke about him in my intro. He's obviously a must start but against this defense of temper expectations.  WR1 AJ Brown It's not a good matchup but if you're going to attack the Colts it's through...

                  Week 10 Streaming Options     I slightly redeemed myself with last week's streams. Although, I Missed on my last QB call and top 2 defenses but hit on most others. Tight Ends you say? Let's not talk about Tight Ends. As usual I'll start with QB  ( Rostered in 50% or less of Yahoo leagues) Quarterbacks Drew Lock @ Las Vegas (22% Owned) If you streamed Lock last week you don't even need to make a roster move. Lock leads the league in deep ball rate. What does that mean? It means he throws the ball deep more often than any other QB in the league. He's got a low completion percentage so he hasn't cashed in on most of them, but the thing about long shots is they are bound to hit at some point. If you believe in positive regression he is due for some big games. Tua Tagovailoa v LA Chargers (44% Owned) We got to see how Tua did in more of a normal game script and it was promising to see. He played well ag...

                      Week 10 Waiver Adds     Again we are faced with a group of running backs who are largely situation dependent. If David Johnson is in the concussion protocol and at risk to miss this week Duke Johnson would be my #1 add. The problem is we don't know David's status and likely won't before waivers run so I'm pumping the breaks on him. He's worth the gamble as a 1 week filler if you have the extra FAAB but it's a gamble. There's also some viable options at the WR and TE position this week. I wouldn't be saving much going into the playoffs so if you like a guy out there feel free to spend up this week. Now without further adue I'll get into my top waiver adds this week.  #1 Austin Hooper I'm going the contrarian route with a TE as my #1 option. Hooper was getting an absurd target share before he missed 2 weeks with the appendix surgery. Now he comes back to an offense that's vacated a ton ...

                            Week 9 Start/Sit     Once again the running back position is a mostly desolate landscape after the top 15 or so options. It's hard to identify anyone as a "Sit" due to lack of options. I did fairly well on my start/sit calls last week. I'm especially proud of my JK Dobbins call and I'm doubling down on him again this week. Missed a few others but nobody is perfect. I'll start with the RBs as usual Running Backs Start✅ Justin Jackson  I feel kinda cheap telling people to start Justin Jackson here but I have him ranked in RB1 territory. With Joshua Kelly as his only competition for touches I think Jackson has a really big day. Antonio Gibson It's not the best matchup as the Giants have been surprisingly good on defense but when The Football Team is in neutral game script (as they should be here) they use Gibson a bunch. The problem is when they are getting blown out...

                 Week 9 Streaming Options     Ok so last week's streaming article was horrible. Plain and simple. I feel like it had to do with me rushing a bit on it to get it up and not waiting on clarity of the weather and other factors. I took the wind into account but didn't offer pivot options. And my #1 QB stream was a complete flop. I apologise for missing so badly. You should probably just fade anything I offer as advice from now on. If you still trust in my process and assessment of likely projections I thank you.      Let's get started on the streams for this week and start at QB. ( Available in 50% or more of Yahoo leagues) Quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater @ Kansas City (43% Owned) I'm going a bit off schedule here. Usually I'll take a worse QB in a better matchup but give me Teddy in a bad matchup here due to probability of negative game script and getting CMC back as a weapon in the passing gam...
