Antonio Brown left Week 15 with a partially torn calf muscle and will not play in Week 16. This is a significant blow for fantasy owners as we head to the fantasy championship round. There is no easy fix for replacing fantasy’s overall WR1. One player who may help soften the blow to fantasy owners in Week 16 is Brown’s teammate, Martavis Bryant. Bryant entered 2017 with huge expectations after missing 2016 due to suspension. He was drafted as a low-WR2 in most leagues but has been a massive disappointment. Bryant enters Week…

Antonio Brown proved once again why he’s the best receiver in the NFL in Week 13. He gutted out a toe injury and posted an overall WR5 performance in Pittsburgh’s come-from-behind victory on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown will likely finish the year as the overall WR1 for the third time in four years, and finish as a top-4 receiver for the fifth consecutive campaign.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me on Twitter, @JonSauber. Favorable Matchups Marvin Jones…

Welcome to the first edition of Weekly Waiver Targets, where I will offer up some waiver wire suggestions for you every week.

Starting next week, I will include some streaming options for defenses. QUARTERBACK Alex Smith, owned in 46% of Fantrax leagues,…

Over the course of the last couple of months, I’ve made a lot of statements that reflect my thoughts on the values of various players for the upcoming fantasy football season. Some of the statements I have made have been rather chalky and some have been a little bit bolder. When it comes to fantasy football, the truth is that fortune does favor the bold. Most leagues offer payouts to fewer than half of the teams, and most savvy fantasy owners have access to the same information. In order to succeed, you have to be willing to…
