Rico Dowdle
First 11 games: He had five games finishing the week outside the top 32 running backs, with seven games of seven or fewer points. From week 12 and on, in six out of his seven games, he was a top-20 RB, including three finishes inside the top 10.

Bucky Irving
First nine games: He had six games where he scored eight or fewer fantasy points. From week 10 on, he was the RB17 or better in all but one game, including finishing as a top-six running back four times.
January 17, 2025 at 2:16 AM
Chase Brown
First eight weeks: He scored eight or fewer fantasy points in four out of his first seven games. In weeks 9-17 (see sat out week 18), he averaged 20 points a game.

Michael Pittman Jr.
Pittman Jr. has failed to finish with double-digit fantasy points in five out of the last six games. Denver allows the 4th fewest yards per completion and the 10th fewest passing TDs per game. Don’t be surprised if he sees a PS2 shadow most of the game.

Tee Higgins
Tennesse allows the 3rd fewest fantasy points to wide receivers, and they allow the 2nd fewest yards per completion. Higgins is coming off of five target and two catch game, and this doesn’t feel like a game where the Bengals are trailing or needing to throw a lot.

WRs I am nervous about starting in week 1 of fantasy football playoffs:
Malik Nabers
You will see Baltimore listed in the bottom three for fantasy points allowed to WRs, BUT Baltimore has been much better against the pass lately.
December 14, 2024 at 9:18 PM
Brian Robinson Jr.
Robinson Jr. had 17 points in his last game without Austin Ekeler, and that was with him being pulled in the 4th quarter. He faces a Saints D that is giving up the fourth most fantasy points to opposing RBs.

Both of these RBs I would start over J. Taylor in your fantasy football playoffs:
Rico Dowdle
19, 22, and 18 rush attempts in his last 3 weeks & has been over 100 yards rushing in his previous two games. The Panthers allowed over 200 yards rushing per game in their last 3 games.
December 14, 2024 at 8:13 PM
Tyrone Tracy

Baltimore has given up the fewest rushing yards per game to running backs this year, 82 yards per game. Tracy hasn’t been over 45 yards rushing in his last three games. Tommy Devito at quarterback shouldn’t help the cause of the offense.

RBs I am nervous about starting in week 1 of fantasy football playoffs:
Jonathan Taylor
He has been held to 8 or fewer fantasy points in three of his last five games. The Broncos allow the third-fewest yards per carry (3.3) and only 65 yards rushing over their last three games.
December 14, 2024 at 7:51 PM
Sam Darnold
Darnold had a huge game last week, throwing for five touchdowns. He has now scored 19-plus points in four straight games; he was the QB6 the previous time he faced the Bears.
December 14, 2024 at 7:47 PM
QBs I would be confident in starting in your fantasy playoffs this week:
Tua Tagovailoa
Over the last four weeks, he has been the QB10, QB3, QB7, QB5. He has had three straight 300+ yard days, and in his previous three home games, he has had nine passing touchdowns.
December 14, 2024 at 7:47 PM
C.J. Stroud
Stroud has not been over 17 points in seven straight games! He only got to 14 against a bad Jacksonville defense. Miami has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this year.
December 14, 2024 at 7:45 PM
QB's I would be hesitant to start in week 1 of your fantasy football playoffs:
Jordan Love
Love’s numbers have not been great lately: He’s scored fewer than 15 points in two of his last three games. The pass volume has not been there.
December 14, 2024 at 7:45 PM
Sincere McCormick
If Alexander Mattison and Zamir White are ruled out this week again, McCormick could be an option for you. McCormick got the majority of rush attempts against Kansas City last week.
December 7, 2024 at 7:44 PM
If you are in a bind this week with byes, here are some lower RB options that could give you a safe floor
Ray Davis
It might have been the weather or the team wanting to preserve Cook for later, but Davis had his highest rush attempt mark of the year when both backs were playing.
December 7, 2024 at 7:44 PM
I think Sam Darnold could be a top-5 QB this week.
In 2 out of his 3 three games, he has been a top-10 QB. In two of those games, QB9 and QB6, it was against two of the better pass defenses at the time, Tennessee and Chicago. Darnold leads the league in completions of 20+ yards.
December 7, 2024 at 7:25 PM
Chad Ryland
Coming off a 5 FG day against Minnesota. This Arizona offense moves the ball well enough most weeks to provide multiple scoring opportunities. He’s had four games of double-digit points and has long-range capabilities, hitting 55+ yard attempts twice this year.
December 7, 2024 at 6:20 PM
Nick Folk
Let’s give some love to the old guys! He has had 2 or more attempts in his last 5 games. In all but one of those, he’s put up double-digit fantasy points. I expect Tennessee to be leading most of this game, which should provide a positive kicking game script for Folk.
December 7, 2024 at 6:20 PM
Streaming kickers is all the rage. Here are your best bets for week 14:
Matthew Wright
Wright replaced Spencer Shrader, who was placed on IR with a hamstring injury. He connected on 4-of-5 field goal attempts in his first game with the Chiefs.
December 7, 2024 at 6:20 PM
Look, Brennan, here's the thing. It's the Calcaterra F*cking wine mixer week in fantasy.
December 7, 2024 at 5:01 PM
It's okay to get an NWI this week.
December 7, 2024 at 4:51 PM
You picked him up, so get him in your starting lineups this week.
December 7, 2024 at 4:49 PM
There are multiple waiver wire guys you should start over Geno this week.
December 7, 2024 at 4:47 PM
One of the least talked about guys who's been consistent in fantasy lately.
