Week 6 didn’t quite take off like many football fans thought it would. The Chiefs won on TNF but it was 19-8. Based on the Broncos’ defense facing Mahomes and the Broncos’ offense having some success lately, many thought this one...
Spread: Dallas Cowboys -1.5 Over/Under: 50.5 Coming off the bye week, the Chargers get back one of their key players on offense, Austin Ekeler.  Ekeler had a great week 1 but left injured and hasn’t played since.  The Chargers...
Another week of NFL football, another pile of data to sift through looking for clues. Clues as to what leads to certain results and clues for speculating what might be coming next. They say, “Looks can be deceiving.” The same can be said...
The NFL Week 6 slate is ready for us to attack, but first, let’s think about how to react to last week’s DFS slate. With only five weeks of data under our belts, it’s hard not to overreact to what we saw on the field, particularly...
Last week was an off week for my predictions. As it turns out, Zach Wilson did not channel Aaron Rodgers, although the Jets did win at Denver. Jake Ferguson’s three catches for 28 yards were a bit shy of the two-touchdown day I predicted. And...
Last week gave us some excellent matchups for fantasy football, with Ja’Marr Chase, D.J. Moore, and Travis Etienne leading the way with at least 34 fantasy points a piece. Justin Fields benefitted from Moore’s monster three-touchdown...
In the world of fantasy football, success isn’t just about assembling a great team during the draft. It’s about making strategic moves throughout the season to maximize your team’s potential and ultimately claim victory. One of...
Another NFL week has come and gone. We saw players at every position have big games in week 5  (Justin Fields, D.J. Moore, Ja’Marr Chase, Breece Hall, Travis Etienne, Dallas Goedert, and George Kittle). It was such a huge week that if...
Each week this season, we’re unveiling the latest NFL power rankings, while focusing on one fantasy football player on each team. It can be a good or bad performance, but we’re analyzing how each player has performed and their rest of...
Is it week 6 already?  Yes, yes it is.  Week five was one for the record books as we saw some players go nuclear like Justin Fields, D.J. Moore, and Ja’Marr Chase.  We were also dealt several injuries, two of which are going to...
What a start to week 5 watching D.J. Moore score nearly 50 fantasy points and the Bears earn their first victory. The same day NFL legend, Dick Butkus, passed away. You love to see that. Rest easy, legend! The next game we saw was the Jaguars...
Week 6 is somehow here already in the 2023 NFL season. It’s hard to believe that it’s already Week 6. It’s time to start making that push for the playoffs. Whether that’s looking ahead to some waiver claims or making some...
Spread: Raiders -1.5 Over/ Under: 45.5 Jimmy Garoppolo has passed concussion protocol this week and will return after missing week 4.  The Raiders offense did not look great last week without Garoppolo and with rookie Aidan O’Connell...
Welcome back to another season of “Beneath the Surface,” a series I’ve loved writing for FantasyData where I look past the box scores. Another season of NFL football is well underway, creating a pile of data to sift through looking...
The NFL Week 5 slate is ready for us to attack, but first, let’s think about how to react to last week’s DFS slate. With only four weeks of data under our belts, it’s hard not to overreact to what we saw on the field, particularly...
Last week, I had more misses than hits on my predictions. I was wrong about Daniel Jones. He did not finish as a top 3 QB for the week and I was also way off on Ezekiel Elliott. He did not score a touchdown against his former team. I was partly...
Winning fantasy football leagues depends on a variety of factors, including good drafting, plenty of luck, and, of course, identifying sleepers. It’s a term that gets thrown around quite a bit in fantasy football, but rostering a player who...
