Waiver Wire Dumpster Dives takes you beyond the obvious plays and helps you find undervalued gems for deep leagues. As bye-weeks start to pile up and valuable waiver targets dry up, things start to get a little hairy this time of the year. Metrics and data help to clear our line of vision though so can still sniff out a few valuable pickups. It’s getting…...
For the third week in a row, the number of wide receivers seeing double-digit targets dropped. But this was the most dramatic drop off of the lot. Fifteen WRs commanded at least 10 targets in Week 3. This week, that number fell to only eight. Here’s the full list of target leaders. Double-Digit Targets in Week 4 QUICK THOUGHTS Cooper Kupp’s recovery from an ACL…...
Two weeks ago I wrote up Dalvin Cook as a dynasty sell. My argument boiled down to the following three points: His offense limits his PPR value. His 2019 production has been driven by efficiency, not workload. The enthusiasm for Cook means that when shopping him even the most coveted players in dynasty are on the table. Today I want to revisit Cook, because the…...
Shawn Siegele looks at the most explosive wide receiver performances of Week 4 and praises a sudden outburst from the Titans passing game. The top WR performances in fantasy points over expectation (reFPOE) didn’t come from the usual suspects this week. Instead we had two former first-round busts, last week’s buy-low candidate, a third receiver from a supposedly run-first squad, and an injured player whose…...
Welcome to The Jump Cut, my new Monday column where I offer immediate running back reactions following Sunday’s NFL action. I’ll continue to publish my RB Market Share Report on Tuesdays and my Ultimate Zero RB Watchlist AFC | NFC on Wednesdays. Each of those columns offers rich data analysis and team-by-team backfield breakdowns to help guide your season-long RB strategy. The Jump Cut will provide…...
Veteran high stakes fantasy football player Monty Phan chronicles his season. I didn’t think I could see a worse score for a starting quarterback than the 0.9 points that Drew Brees recorded for our Main Event team two weeks ago when he injured his thumb. Then we started Case Keenum. That pretty much set the tone for our day in fantasy. But that was just…...

We’ll give you some of the top targets at each position so that when you submit a waiver claim, you do it with confidence.

Who are the best plays for the Week 4 DFS primetime slate on DraftKings and FanDuel? Tyler Loechner runs through notes on the primetime short slate featuring SNF/MNF games.((An important note: I’m writing this column with tournaments and GPPs top of mind. Cash game plays on short slates are usually easier to figure out because the options are so thin; tournaments require quite a bit…...
The injuries continue to mount heading into Week 4, likely leaving your fantasy football teams in need of some serious TLC. Kate Magdziuk delivers her favorite Week 4 flex plays to get you the win, whether 3-0 or 0-3. Curtis Samuel vs. Houston Texans Curtis Samuel was training camp’s darling, filling Twitter timelines across the globe with highlights of deep balls taken to the house…...
With plenty of teams starting 0-3, managers are breaking free from their preseason player values, and some big name trades will be more possible than ever. It’s a good time to get aggressive targeting those big pieces if your best-laid plans of August have left you with dangerous holes in your starting lineup. QUARTERBACK Sell Gardner Minshew People love Minshew and people are also desperate…...
Welcome to another edition of the 2019 Confident Cash Plays Series! The heavy LSU and Alabama player pool smashed last week! This week will be a bit more complex given the depth of options, but let’s see if we can keep the winning momentum rolling! If you like GPP contests, Ryan Collinsworth has a piece for you every week as well! But for now, let’s…...
We smashed cash again in the Week 3 writeup. My cash lineup hit 206 — we will look to continue that trend and get to 4-for-4 on the year this week. We’re going to start with games to attack again this week. Every Chiefs game is going to be an obvious and wildly popular one. But his week offers another game that is generally viewed…...
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity — that’s what fantasy football is all about. Each week I utilize our GLSP projections to find the best DFS values from a dollar-per-opportunity perspective with a focus on Yahoo! DFS. This week there’s one game I’m targeting with a full game stack and that’s Seahawks-Cardinals — 48-point total with the Seahawks favored by 5.5 points. But in addition to this game…...
Tomorrow’s Moves Today uses the Strength of Schedule Streaming App to identify team positional units with favorable/unfavorable upcoming schedules and players on related teams that should be targeted or avoided. Welcome to the Week 4 edition of Tomorrow’s Moves Today! On a weekly basis, we’ll look ahead to find positional units with favorable upcoming schedules. Likewise, we’ll identify positional units that stand before an oncoming gauntlet. The…...
Last Saturday night in Pullman, WA, a college quarterback tossed nine touchdowns in a single game and lost. LSU, a team that featured a caveman offense for the last decade or so, scored 69 points against an SEC opponent. And UCF, a team that had won 18 straight regular season games, was down 21 points to Pitt, came back, then lost on the final drive…...
The CFB DFS season rolls on with 11 games in the DraftKings main slate for Week 5. What to Expect in This Breakdown Guarantee prize pool (GPP) tournaments often reward sub-optimal lineup construction and game theory-based decision-making. It’s difficult — and perhaps even disingenuous — to recommend a handful of players devoid of metagame context. In cash contests, that works great, because identifying value and…...
The Fantasy Football Ghost guides us through the first week of NFL byes with his FanDuel cash plays for Week 4! My player recommendations delivered 2.8 times their expected value in Week 3. Dak Prescott, Christian McCaffrey, and Greg Olsen each ranked in the top 10 at their respective positions, and McCaffrey and Olsen cracked the top five. The lone disappointment last week came from…...
When I’m looking into the DFS slate each week, I like to go game by game and identify players or situations that intrigue me. In every game, on every team, there’s a situation that’s relevant for DFS purposes, for either a positive or negative reason. It informs us of how we should be attacking each slate. Arizona Cardinals Spread: +5 vs. Seattle | Total: 48…...
The 3 and Out uses a number of RotoViz Apps to uncover significant workload changes; league, team, and player-specific trends; and hidden but powerful statistics. Welcome back to The 3 and Out. Let’s pick up where we left off last week and look at three key data points related to a number of teams. Detroit Lions Kerryon Johnson controlled 35% of the Lion’s Week 3…...
High-stakes writers Monty Phan and John Lapinski chronicle their entry in the FFPC Super Bracket contest. Here’s an interesting stat: Through the first three weeks, D.J. Chark is the overall WR8 in FFPC scoring. Here’s another interesting stat: Through the first three weeks, Chark has been in our starting lineup exactly zero times. And here’s an interesting side note: Last year, someone named a team…...
