Welcome to Week 13 which means the last week of the regular season and there's a lot on the line for most so it's important to check back close to kick off for the latest Week 13 rankings. Decisions seem tougher to make, but if I could give one piece of advice...trust the guys who got you here. Trust your gut and play the studs who have been studs for you during the season. There's no need to get cute at this point in the season. Playing guys with a solid floor is the way to go if you need a win this week. It's certainly a…

The straight up picks on the season have been OK as I was 11-4 last week which brought my overall record to 115-61. I'll take that, but I need to brush up on the over/under picks, as I'm just over .500. This week there are five games with a total in the 50's. There's a lot of points expected to be scored in Week 13 and I'm on the under in a lot of them. Good luck to all making Week 13 NFL picks.We'll keep track of all my picks throughout the season, including my losses! Over time, we'll find out if you should back me or…

Taking a look at the Week 12 targets and touches leaders can go a long way in projecting where fantasy points may come from in the near future. Each week, I break down which running backs lead the way in touches, including red zone opportunities. Most of the top performers in touches and targets on a week-to-week basis are not only owned in most leagues, but started as well. This will give us a clearer view of where touchdowns may come from; a huge plus for the DFS players out there. As you'll see below, Nick Chubb continues…

Week 13 waiver wire means no more byes! It also means Melvin Gordon and Leonard Fournette owners are left scrambling as they try and replace them for Week 13. Hopefully Gordon owners handcuffed Austin Ekeler, but if you didn't, there may be a couple plug and play options below if you're in a pinch. Ekeler is owned in most formats, but rookie Justin Jackson shouldn't go unnoticed. Carlos Hyde won't help Gordon owners in the playoffs, but he could be of some value for this week, especially if you have Fournette. Hyde is…

It's Turkey Day. The games start in just a few hours.

We were on the wrong side of a lot of spreads last week and the straight up picks were not strong. 7-6 is just not good enough, so I'm looking to bounce back with my Week 12 picks. Yeah, you guessed it...the Titans screwed me! Carolina, Arizona and the Chargers all suffered shocking losses. Well, at least in my mind. Hey, at least we hit the Rams/Chiefs over by the third quarter. Good luck to all making Week 12 NFL picks. Happy Thanksgiving!We'll keep track of all my picks throughout the season, including my losses! Over…

Chris Meaney looks at the targets and touches leaders from Week 11 to see where the points will be coming from in Week 12 and beyond.

Week 12 means there are only two more weeks left until fantasy football playoff time. Chances are, you don't need any of the players listed in the Week 12 waiver wire, unless you are fighting for a playoff spot. There are definitely a couple candidates below who could help you in a pinch this week. If you are sitting pretty in your league, it's all about building for the weeks to come. Set yourself up with a couple QBs with good matchups or a couple DSTs in good spots. For example, the Denver Broncos have a tough matchup…

Start Doug Martin in Week 11? Has it come down to that?

So after going 33-8 in my straight up picks from Week 8-10, I cooled off with an 8-6 record last week, but I'm ready to bounce back with my Week 11 NFL picks. Once again, I got the Titans wrong. They easily handled the New England Patriots and have looked good in two straight weeks. I'm on them this week, so you should likely be on the Colts! No joke, this team has given me fits all season long. There are a couple real enticing games this week, including the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings which takes place Sunday night.…
