We offer three Sunday morning fantasy football pick-ups based on advanced stats & metrics profiles. Add Josh McCown, Lance Dunbar, Eddie Royal, and Brent Celek before they become next week’s waiver targets.

If you can beat the waiver wire rush by a few days and acquire players like these for free, before they have the chance to blow up, it’ll go a long way towards helping you achieve your goals of world domination via the fantasy football medium. Some potential pre-Week 2 pickups you should consider stashing if you have room on your bench include Josh McCown, Lance Dunbar, Eddie Royal and Brent Celek.

Josh McCown is an ideal streamer for season-long owners in Week 2. He’s also going for the minimum salary of $5.0K on DraftKings and close to the min. on FanDuel. Last season in Week 5, McCown defeated the Ravens on the road by completing 36 of 51 passes for 457 yards and two touchdowns.

There are a lot of signs pointing toward Julius Thomas going under-owned this week. First, T.J. Yeldon figures to be a popular option going against the Chargers. No one is pairing running back and tight end together.

Who are the best Start/Sits for Week Two? RotoUnderworld has 20 metrics-driven plays that will help you avoid the overreaction trap from the opening week.

Philip Rivers is a great contrarian play in week 2. San Diego returns home and faces a Jacksonville team that ranked 29th in passing yards allowed last season (268.2). Rivers still has a myriad of weapons in Melvin Gordon, Danny Woodhead, Antonio Gates, Travis Benjamin, Dontrelle Inman and speedster Tyrell Williams.

Randall Cobb will experience a fantasy football renaissance in 2016 based on his advanced NFL stats and metrics player profile.

Don’t be surprised when Randall Cobb returns to being one of the most efficient and productive wide receivers in the NFL this season.

After C.J. Anderson went bananas in the season opener, now is the time to sell him in fantasy football based on his advanced stats and metrics profile.

C.J. Anderson’s resume is limited, but it just so happens that Anderson is the guy that played well in front of 25.4 million television viewers. Maximize this brief period of time in which the spotlight is on Anderson, and trade him for a top-flight fantasy football wide receiver.

The waiver wire water is choppy (insert obligatory Kevin Ogletree 2012 cheap shot), but the RotoUnderworld Team believes ten players are worth adding across fantasy football formats.

Tyrell Williams, Quincy Enunwa and Virgil Green are top fantasy football waiver wire targets heading into week 2 based on advanced stats & metrics profiles.

Why is Jordan Matthews’ talent being questioned? Is he actually a slot receiver and does that matter? How far will Matthews ascend in 2016?

Jordan Matthews’ college and professional production along with his receiving comparisons show that he is bound to see great success for the rest of his career.

Three Contrarian DFS Plays for NFL Week 1: AJ Green, LeSean McCoy, and Ben Roethlisberger based on advanced stats and metrics player profiles.

Ben Roethlisberger finished No. 1 in the NFL with 327.8 yards per game in 2015 and faces a Washington defense that allowed +1.29 fantasy points per game above the mean to opposing quarterbacks last season.

The proliferation of PlayerProfiler.com afforded me a few expert fantasy football league invitations this year. In each one I implemented a pure Zero RB strategy.

Four drafts illustrate how Zero RB can be a viable strategy even against the experts.

Going into the 2015 season, a number of articles were written at PlayerProfiler that pointed drafters to the same general conclusion: that we should target big-bodied, athletic pass-catching tight ends in the later rounds of our fantasy football drafts. This idea brought about last year’s hit piece entitled Late Round TE Roulette.

Late Round TE Roulette can be played in a number of different ways. Part three of this three part series examines the advanced stats and metrics player profiles of tight ends with no listed ADPs that could make for great streaming candidates throughout the 2016 season.
