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 Dalvin Cook left the game against the Seahawks with an adductor strain, Mattison came in and rushed 20 times for 112 yards against a good Seattle rush defense. He looked extremely explosive and was running the ball with purpose looking like a top RB. Cook is most likely going to miss this weekend's matchup against Atlanta and Mattison is a must-start if you can pick him up. 

Chase Claypool: Claypool exploded last weekend against the Eagles for over 110 total yards and 4 TDs. Smith-Schuster was non-existent in this one as Claypool stole the show and it could be a sign of things to come. If Diontae Johnson gets back and can stay healthy, Claypool's value will decline. However, if Johnson continues battling injuries and Big Ben continues to show Claypool the love, he could be a WR2 for the rest of the season. 

Brandin Cooks: In the first game without Bill O'Brian, Cooks had his best game of the season being targeted 12 times with 8 catches for 161 yards and a TD against the Jags. Cooks was one of the best WRs in the league when he was with the Saints and if interim coach Romeo Crennel likes Cook over the other Houston WRs, he's in for a great rest of the season. Deshaun Watson also had his best performance of the year which will only help Cooks' case. He could easily be a WR2 going forward.

Jimmy Graham: Graham has been a top 10 fantasy TE since Nick Foles took over at QB for the Bears. He has 3 TDs and 126 yards in his last three games and is the biggest red-zone threat for Chicago. The TE is a tough position to consistently get points from but with Graham's incredible TD upside, he makes for a good play especially if he has a favorable matchup.

Week 11 Start 'Em Sit 'Em

Start 'Em Ben Roethlisberger : Roethlisberger was playing solid ball up until two weeks ago when he decided to show fantasy owners he's still got it. He's passed for 639 yards and 7 TDs in that span while throwing no INTs. Pittsburgh has Smith-Schuster, Claypool and Johnson as their top 3 WRs which gives Roethlisberger three of the league's top threats to choose from. This week, he gets a good matchup in Jacksonville as he looks to keep his hot streak alive. With James Conner and the running game struggling, Big Ben could be carrying the load offensively once again. Fire him up as a top 5 play this week. Kalen Ballage : Ballage has taken over the Chargers backfield over the past two weeks and will be starting once more before Ekeler's projected week 12 return. In two games as a starter, he has combined for 186 total yards and a score. This week, the Chargers play host to the Jets who have given up 27 fantasy points a game to opposing RBs, and Ballage should be able ...

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 ...

Week 16 Start 'Em Sit 'Em

Start 'Em Ryan Tannehill : Tannehill doesn't have the yards to show for it, but he's been one of the best QBs this year with his 31/5 TD to INT ratio. Last week, he found the end-zone five times (3 passing 2 rushing) and scored 37 fantasy points in a dominating win over Detroit. This weekend, the Titans travel to Green Bay in a game I can only assume is going to be a shootout. Aaron Rodgers will be able to carve up Tennessee's secondary which will mean Tannehill will have to play keep up. Derrick Henry should run rampant against a terrible rush defense but i'm guessing the Titans will be losing much of the game resulting in a big second half for Tanny. Fire him up as a top QB play this weekend. Austin Ekeler : Since Ekeler returned from his hamstring tear he has posted two stellar fantasy performances and two very mediocre showings. Last week, everyone expected a huge outing but at less than 100%, he wasn't able to get much going. Justin Herbert was slinging the...
