So…about week three…what the hell did we just watch? The week started out with what will likely be the most entertaining Thursday Night Football game of the season, played by the Rams and 49ers, which nobody saw coming. Then the Jaguars absolutely embarrassed the Ravens 44-7 over in London. This involved Marcedes Lewis catching three touchdowns, which is equal to his three previous seasons combined. The Bears beat the Steelers in overtime, a rookie went into Gillette Stadium and probably should have beat the Patriots, the Jets pulled off a convincing division win, Aaron Rodgers got his first career overtime…

This is an interesting NFL slate where very few plays jump out at you. I would say given his price and the matchup, A.J. Green is one of the few guys this week. Although his price is down, he is still a top-tier receiver that you are spending up for. I think the play this week may be have a mix of pricey and cheap guys, instead of trying to balance it out. So that raises the question, who are the cheap players that can help me spend up for those studs this week? That is exactly what this article is…
**Updated 9/24** Injuries…ugh. Clearly the NFL has it all figured out. If you limit the amount of days players can take contact before the season, there’s less of a chance of injury, right? Wrong…clearly. I could’ve told you that before the season. Actually, I did, but this is getting ridiculous. There are a few star players around the league who will miss extended time to start the season, and there also are about another dozen stars whose status is still up in the air for this week. For this reason, make sure you bookmark this page. I want you to…
A member of Team F.A.N. Show, Brandon Raper, makes his debut on the show with tips to salvage your fantasy football season! Plus, the week 2 ButtFumble Award and the latest headlines!
How about those rushing performances by a few of the league’s top backs? Yikes. That doesn’t even include last year’s leader in rushing touchdowns, LeGarrette Blount, going without a single rushing attempt. There is some panic among fantasy owners, and rightfully so. This week showed that you may have a near perfect draft, but that doesn’t mean anything when we get into the season. My two starting running backs in a league are Ezekiel Elliott and LeSean McCoy. I thought I would be looking at an undefeated season with the roster I had, but much like the Patriots, I was…
The week two slate brings some obvious elite plays, but they are certainly priced accordingly. The Patriots are motivated as they head to New Orleans after their loss, but you will have to pay $7,900 for Brady, $8,200 for Cooks, and $6,900 for Gronkowski over at DraftKings. Hefty price tags, but they could be worth it. If you are looking to get elite plays like the three mentioned above, you’ll need to search for salary relief elsewhere. That is exactly what this article is about! These are players who could be valuable and help you with roster construction. They are…
It’s Thursday, which means its time to preview the upcoming NFL action. WEEK 2! Seattle native and Yahoo Sports columnist, Jordan Schultz, makes his debut on the show. We talk about the best overreactions from week 1, then week 2 of FAN vs The FAN Show!
*Rankings updated 9/17* Week one can be summed up with injuries, early draft picks underperforming, and overall poor quarterback play. Seriously, it was bad. Two of the top three scoring quarterbacks are generally known as “game managers,” Alex Smith and Sam Bradford. The rest of the top-five included Stafford, Siemian, and Wentz. Aaron Rodgers finished as QB13, Tom Brady as QB19, and Drew Brees as QB16. If there was a perfect argument for my strategy that I preach every preseason of drafting quarterbacks late, this week was it. Of course, this was only week one. Generally early in the season,…
