If you’ve struggled to put up numbers at the quarterback position and landed Cam Newton on the waiver wire last week, it’s time to go with him against the Jaguars.

Week 3 – TE Rankings

While Chris Cooley will find his way on and off the field, while battling a knee injury, fantasy owners should consider Fred Davis a weekly option to start. For the past two weeks Davis has played great and found the end zone in both games. This week the Redskins will play on Monday Night against [...]

Week 3 – K / D Rankings

The Chargers defense had a tough day against Tom Brady last week but they comeback home to a must start matchup against the Chiefs.

Expect Hixon To Start If Nicks Is Out Below you will find a quick write-up I put together on Hakeem Nicks status for week two against the Rams. Domenick Hixon has been with the Giants for a few years now and with Victor Cruz struggling in the slot, I figured Hixon was a likely option [...]

Week 2 Gameday / Roster Prep – News and Notes

The most important bit of advice I can give you for the first few weeks of the season is not to overreact. Chad Ochocinco was non-existent in Week 1 despite the fact that Tom Brady exploded for 517 passing yards and four TDs. You certainly don’t drop The Receiver Formerly Known as Johnson but I [...]

Jacoby Ford Sidelined With Hamstring | FF Brainwave Report

Jacoby Ford Sidelined With Hamstring It looks like Jacoby Ford will be questionable for week two after injuring his hamstring against the Broncos. Fantasy Outlook: Keep Ford on your bench, but he’s worth holding onto, because the Raiders are going to make him their No.1 receiver. If you watched the first half of their game [...]

Week 2 – IDP Start’em – or – Sit’em
