Ryan Griffin wasn’t terrible last week, but he certainly wasn’t great either. He was the perfect example of you get what you pay for in daily fantasy play. Rookie Noah Fant was undoubtedly the man of the hour among tight ends, and it looks like Russell Wilson may have a new favorite tight end in Seattle, Jacob Hollister.

On the defensive front, ...

Anyone that went with Tyler Lockett and Kenny Golladay last week for their daily fantasy team was sure glad they did. As luck would have it, Jamison Crowder even had a good day. But Tyrell Williams was a wash as was Stefon Diggs. Right when you start to think you can trust a guy, right?

It’s a new week, of course, which means it is time to figur...

Dalvin Cook didn’t have nearly as good daily fantasy day against the Chiefs as expected. Aaron Jones and the rest of the Packers offense sure was a bust. Who would have thought the Chargers defense was finally going to wake up?

The Broncos didn’t run as much as I thought they would, but Philip Lindsay didn’t have a bad day. So—on to Week Ten. Wh...

Kirk Cousins salvaged his daily fantasy day with three touchdown passes, but it wasn’t as good of a day as many hoped it would be. Aaron Rodgers certainly put up a stinker, but Matthew Stafford and Ryan Tannehill lit up the competition.    

With teams starting to make their playoff pushes, we might see more guys exploding for big days. But who?

When you miss out on the guys that do blow up (like Mike Evans and Tevin Coleman did last week), and all of your wide receivers crash and burn, then it is going to be hard to finish in the money in daily fantasy play. But therein lies part of the fun. Will your gambles work out for your daily fantasy team, or will they break you?

This week, I am...

The Carolina Panthers defense was the definition of a daily fantasy bust last week—and apparently just what the 49er offense needed to explode. The New England Patriots defense continues to be a fantasy juggernaut. But you will definitely have to pay for them if you want to start them in the foreseeable future.

As for tight ends, Darren Waller a...

Michael Thomas has been fine with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback but was sure glad to have Drew Brees back under center last week. Mike Evans resurfaced as a daily fantasy force, and Cooper Kupp fans were certainly glad they stuck with him.

So, last week was one of those weeks where the studs were what you expect them to be—studs. But that doe...

Leonard Fournette had another reliable performance, but Josh Jacobs fell short of that in the end. Saquon Barkley seems to be back to his old tricks as well. But last week several other running backs had even better days—which really opens up the possibilities for this week when picking out running backs for your daily fantasy team.

Will Dalvin ...

Last week we saw some good examples of how a good week for a quarterback on the field is not necessarily a good daily fantasy week. Kirk Cousins had a good night Thursday, but 285 yards and zero touchdowns don’t add up to too many fantasy points.

But Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, and Deshaun Watson all had good fantasy days—and it appears that d...

Few things are as frustrating as paying the price for a star player or great defense only to have them flame out and give you little. When the cheaper receivers you picked up don’t play (Will Fuller) or don’t play well (Larry Fitzgerald and Robert Woods), then your team is screwed.

So—on to a plan for this week.
Suggestions For Week Eight
