Week 6 Sleepers

Matt Ryan : Matty Ice has been just that the last three weeks. ICE COLD! After scoring 25+ fantasy points the first two weeks of the season, Ryan hasn't had over 13 in his last three games. His inconsistency is enough to drop him but he has a chance to score 20+ this week. Going to Minnesota in an indoor stadium which Ryan loves, he has a favorable matchup. The young Vikings secondary will have their hands full with Ridley and Julio as they're going to have to deal with two of the best WR's in the league. Ryan is a very risky play, but you just might be rewarded. Tom Brady : Brady hasn't had the best fantasy season but has shown that he still has it against the Broncos and Chargers. This week, he goes up against a mediocre Green Bay pass defense in a game that will likely be back and forth. Brady is going to want to outplay Rodgers in this one and if Tampa gets down, he will be throwing often. He has good chance to put up QB1 numbers this week. James White : White has o...

Week 6 Waiver Adds

Andy Dalton : Dak Prescott went down against the Giants with a horrible ankle injury and now it's time for Dalton to take over. He went 9/11 with 111 yards in under a half of play and led Dallas to a victory. With the offensive weapons around him combined with the horrible Dallas defense, he has a good chance to put up great numbers and be throwing all day. As a QB who started for the Bengals for nine years, he's going to be eager to get back on the field and prove that he can start somewhere else when Prescott returns. He's a QB2 with QB1 upside. Ryan Fitzpatrick : Fitzmagic has scored 21+ fantasy points in his last four games and is playing some of the best ball of his career. He's coming off a game in which he lit up the 49ers defense to the tune of 350 yards and 3 TDs scoring 27 fantasy points. The sky is the limit for Fitz after this week after dismantling a top 5 defense. If he consistently gets 20+ points a game he will become a QB1.  Alexander Mattison : After D...

Week 5 Sleepers

Teddy Bridgewater : Bridgewater hasn't been on anybody's fantasy radar but should be this week. The Panthers started off 0-2 before beating the Chargers and Cardinals to even their record out. Bridgewater hadn't reached 20 fantasy points in any of the first three games this year but managed to score 26 against a solid Arizona defense. Coming off his best performance of the year, he will take on the Falcons in Atlanta this weekend. Atlanta has one of the worst defenses in the NFL and it doesn't seem to matter who they play, opposing QBs have great weeks against them. Available in the majority of leagues, Bridgewater has to be considered as a top 10 play with major upside. Justin Herbert : Herbert has impressed this year as a rookie, enough to get the job over a healthy Tyrod Taylor. This comes after Head Coach Anthony Lynn said Tyrod would not lose the job if injured but Herbert has forced his hand. Last week, he passed for 290 yards, 3 TDs and an INT against one of the ...

Top Waiver Adds Heading into Week 5

  Justin Jackson : With Austin Ekeler going down for at least a week, Jackson tops this week's waiver adds as he'll be in a committee with Joshua Kelley until Ekeler returns. The Chargers love to run the ball in order to open up the passing game for rookie QB Justin Herbert. While we don't know the volume Jackson will have or how long Ekeler is out, he is worth an add in any league in case he is able to get a solid workload. Chase Edmonds : Kenyan Drake has been the biggest bust in fantasy so far scoring just one TD and averaging under 10 fantasy points per game. Edmonds has been doing just as well as Drake on fewer touches and I can only imagine it's imminent that Edmonds gets an uptick of snaps. Add him and keep him stashed until the news comes that Drake is no longer the RB1 in Arizona. D'Ernest Johnson : When Nick Chubb went down early in the game, Hunt assumed Chubb's role, and Johnson took over Hunt's role. He didn't waste his chance as he out-touc...

Week 4 Start 'Em Sit 'Em

  Start 'Em Deshaun Watson : Finally, it's time for Watson to do what he should be doing this year which is scoring 25+ fantasy points. After getting through the toughest 3 weeks of his season, he faces the Vikings who struggle against the pass. This should be a game that the Texans can win and Watson should be able to exploit a defense for the first time this year. If you stayed with Watson, it was worth it because drafting him will pay off. Kyler Murray : Murray is having a great fantasy season so far but had a pedestrian performance last week as he threw 3 INTs. The Cards go up against the Panthers this week who are ranked 4th against QBs. Don't let that scare you though, they've played against Derek Carr, Tom Brady and Justin Herbert. They've allowed 30+ points in the first two weeks and although they stifled the Chargers last week, Herbert still passed for 330 yards. I don't think Arizona will have too much trouble moving the ball and with the way Murray pe...

Week 4 Fantasy Sleepers

  QB Sleepers Ryan Fitzpatrick : Fitz is coming off back-to-back 24 point fantasy performances against the Bills and Jags. This week, Miami plays host to Seattle, a team that's allowed 430 yards passing on average per game. On top of that, all-pro safety Jamal Adams is going to be out making this an even juicier matchup. In a game in which the Seahawks will probably score 35+ points, Miami will be throwing the ball the whole game playing catchup against a weak secondary. Unless you have a top 5 QB, Fitz has to be considered in all formats. Matthew Stafford : Stafford has posted 17-18 fantasy points in all three of Detroit's games this year. He hasn't had the easiest of competition this year but plays host to the Saints who have allowed Rodgers and Carr to post almost 300 yards each in consecutive games. I don't think Stafford has a great chance to explode, but he will have his most productive performance of the young season. RB Sleepers Latavius Murray : The Detroit Lio...
