How the Carson Wentz knee injury doomed the Philadelphia Eagles

by _tim______, December 20, 2017

Carson Wentz is the reason the Eagles are 11-2. He is No. 2 in total fantasy points behind only Russell Wilson, and Wentz was having the best season for a second-year quarterback since 2010. When his ACL went, the Eagles’ Super Bowl chances came and Wentz.

Fortunately for Zach Ertz, the Eagles have a super-friendly schedule for tight ends the rest of the way. Regardless, with Foles at the helm, his ceiling is now capped. Look for the target distribution to narrow.

Awakening the Dead: 3 players poised for big fantasy football returns in week 15

by Zach Krueger, December 16, 2017

There’s not a running back on the Cardinals who is threatening Kerwynn Williams for touches as it stands right now, and his recent line of 36 carries for 170 yards (4.7 YPC) makes him a top start against Washington. Late season rises like Williams’ are exactly what Zero RB truthers thrive on this time of year, as he now looks to drive fantasy owners to their championship games.

Robert Woods has been one of the most efficient wide receivers in football this season, posting a +18.9 Production Premium (no. 12) and 10.0 Yards Per Target (no. 10), while his quarterback has enjoyed a 118.9 Passer Rating when targeting him. Pair Woods’ efficiency with Byron Maxwell’s inefficiency, and you have everything you want for a pending breakout in Week 15.

Don’t Panic! Play these 3 players despite bad circumstances

by Kieran Cottrill, December 15, 2017

Evan Engram is the complete package for a dominant fantasy tight end. His workout metrics are exceptional with a 4.42 40-yard dash time (100th-percentile), a 120.4 Speed Score (96th-percentile), a 125.5 Burst Score, 11.15 Agility score (90th-percentile), and 10.29 (91st-percentile) Catch Radius.

When a back-up QB is thrust into a starting role, the target distribution often narrows. With Tom Savage at the helm, DeAndre Hopkins target share surged. Likewise, Davante Adams has scored more than fantasy points tethered to Brett Hundley than with Aaron Rodgers this season. Following this logic, primary receiver Alshon Jeffery should thrive with Nick Foles under center.

by Zach Krueger, December 9, 2017

Zay Jones is seeing a significant increase in targets over the last several weeks, and the Bills facing an injury-ravaged Colts secondary, this could be the week Jones owners have been waiting for. If you’re looking for a wide receiver with a high floor to round out your playoff roster this week, Jones may be that player you are seeking.

Over the last two weeks, Golladay averaged an 80-percent snap share and 25 pass routes. The Lions offense ranks No. 7 the league with 39 pass attempts per game. Tampa Bay has already allowed over 500(!) total PPR fantasy to opposing wide receivers, last in the league by a wide margin, and should continue to struggle this week against the Lions.
