We've reached the end of the line.
In many fantasy football leagues, Week 13 is the final week of the fantasy regular season. Some teams have already clinched a spot in the postseason tournament and are just jockeying for position and a potential first-round bye. Others still have been eliminated but are hoping to take as many folks down with them as possible.
And many fantasy squads head into this week with a simple edict – win and you're in. Lose and it's all over but the crying.
That makes every lineup decision this week absolutely critical. And the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy is here to help by answering the looming questions ahead of Week 13.
Can Dak Prescott and the reeling Dallas Cowboys get it together on Thursday night at home against the rival Redskins?
Will Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum's surprising roll continue Sunday in Atlanta in one of Week 13's biggest game. Can Falcons wideout Julio Jones follow up his huge outing from a week ago?
Which NFC South quarterback should fantasy owners target when Cam Newton of the Panthers and Drew Brees of the Saints lock horns in the Big Easy on Sunday?
And similarly, which signal-caller and pass catchers will come out on top when the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks on Sunday night?
Who are the Week 13 sleepers to target in fantasy football? The busts to avoid? What's the latest on the biggest injured stars?
For the answers to those questions and more, join the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy on Wednesday, November 29 at 7 PM Eastern.

It’s Deshaun Watson’s world. The rest of us are just living in it.
The rookie quarterback for the Houston Texans (and your 2017 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year – book it) put on yet another show in Week 8, topping 400 passing yards and tossing four touchdowns in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
It was a performance that lifted any number of fantasy owners to a win.
Watson wasn’t the only rookie setting records in Week 8. On Sunday night in Detroit, Juju Smith-Schuster became the first player in league history to score four touchdowns before turning 21. The Pittsburgh Steelers wideout didn’t score them all in that game, but the 97-yard touchdown he did have put a huge smile on the face of the fortunate fantasy owners who rolled him out.
At this time of the season, when every win is doubly important for fantasy owners trying to keep their season afloat, having a player like Watson or Smith-Schuster in the lineup can do more than just save a week.
It can save a season.
With six teams on a bye again in Week 9, fantasy owners are once again scouring the league for players who will post big scores in Week 9. The veterans and or rookies with the right kind of Week 9 juju.
Couldn’t be helped.
Well, look no farther. On Wednesday, November 1 at 7 PM Eastern the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy will break down everything you need to know in advance of the ninth week of the 2017 season.
So be sure to tune in – and maybe your season will be saved as well.

We’ve already hit Week 8 of the 2017 NFL season. The fantasy football campaign is already into the second half, and soon the stretch run for the playoffs will begin.
For many fantasy owners, that makes the edict clear – win this week, or there may not be a stretch run to worry about.
As usual, the NFL isn’t making things any easier for fantasy owners. For every player who has exceeded expectations there are seemingly two who have underperformed. And the list of stars battling injuries seemingly grows by the week.
In Week 7 we saw Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer felled by a broken arm in the Cardinals’ blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams in London. Granted, there aren’t many teams rolling out Palmer every week. But his absence affects the entire Arizona offense, from wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald to tailback Adrian Peterson.
It’s a similar deal in Miami, where a surprising Dolphins team is now on their third quarterback. If it’s Matt Moore under center Sunday, what effect will that have on the fantasy value of running back Jay Ajayi and wide receiver Jarvis Landry?
And will we be seeing fellow pass-catcher Devante Parker on the field any time soon?
It’s those sorts of questions that the folks at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy will endeavor to answer when they gather to preview Week 8. So whether it’s injury news, sleeper plays or potential busts join us Wednesday, October 25 at 7 PM Eastern as we break down all the info you need to keep your playoff push on the tracks.

Five weeks into any season, a solid percentage of fantasy football owners are going to be anxious. Nervous. Freaking out, even.
After the Week 5 we just saw go down, the percentage is probably lying somewhere between 97 and 106.
It’s not just that some squads are the fantasy equivalent of the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers and sitting at 0-5 or 1-4. That they’re looking at the efforts of players like Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson or Oakland Raiders quarterback Amari Cooper and wondering what the heck they were thinking on fantasy draft day.
But there’s also the matter of the injuries that continue to mount. The latest major one – the season-ending broken ankle suffered by New York Giants wide receiver (and top-five fantasy draft pick) Odell Beckham was nothing short of a season-killer.
However, whatever the cause of the struggles, whatever the record, fantasy owners have to keep going. Have to keep trying to get better. Keep trying to get a win.
So, whether you’re 5-0 and riding high or 0-5 and crying on tour keyboard, join the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gang on Wednesday, October 11 at 7 PM Eastern as they preview Week 6.
Can Cam Newton and Carson Wentz keep it going in their big Thursday night showdown?
Who will win the RB duel between Todd Gurley and Leonard Founette in Jacksonville?
Will the Giants hold WR tryouts in the parking lot before Sunday Night Football?
And will the Browns ever win another game? (The answer is no.)

We’ve hit the quarter-pole of the 2017 NFL season, and with it the first fourth of this year’s fantasy regular season.
And just like the three weeks before them, Week 4 was a wild one that left many fantasy owners reeling.
In Week 4 alone we saw…
A rookie quarterback (Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans) roll up over 300 passing yards and five total touchdowns in a historic rout of the Tennessee Titans.We watched New York Jets tailback Bilal Powell jump off the fantasy scrap heap to roll up 163 rushing yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was lost to a season-ending injury.And we saw Atlanta Falcons wideout Julio Jones go down with a hip injury, while the receiver leaderboard in Week 4 was littered with the likes of Devin Funchess of the Carolina Panthers and Jaron Brown of the Arizona Cardinals.
Another wacky week has plenty of fantasy owners sitting as 2-2, 1-3 or even 0-4 and scratching their heads with one hand while balling their fist to shake at the teams sitting pretty at 3-1 or 4-0.
But whether you fantasy season has started off well or anything but, there’s still plenty of time to turn things around (or watch them fall apart.) You have to stay after it if you want to have a strong October – especially with the bye weeks about to begin.
So join the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy on Wednesday, October 4 at 7 PM Eastern as they break down everything you need to know to get a W in Week 5.

We’re two weeks into the 2017 NFL (and fantasy football) season, and for every thing we know about the year there are three things we don’t.
We knew that Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints and Tom Brady of the New England Patriots were going to be OK, and sure enough they rebounded in Week 2. But raise your hand if you had Trevor Siemian of the Denver Broncos as leading the NFL in passing scores after two weeks.
Put your hand down you liar.
At running back, Kareem Hunt of the Kansas City Chiefs continues to impress. But two games in Le’Veon Bell of the Pittsburgh Steelers still hasn’t gotten untracked, and Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys and LeSean McCoy of the Buffalo Bills were just shut…down.
And the tight ends? Hurt. All of them. Rob Gronkowski (Patriots). Tyler Eifert (Cincinnati Bengals). Jordan Reed (Washington Redskins). Jimmy Graham (Seattle Seahawks). Hurt. Hurt. Hurt. And hurt.
Those injuries are just the tip of the iceberg in that regard, and only the beginning of what the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy will discuss as they get you ready for a full slate of Week 3 games.
Will they Green Bay Packers rebound at home against the Bengals? Will the Bengals finally score a touchdown in that game? Will the three undefeated AFC West teams keep rolling? Will the game in Indianapolis between the Colts and Browns end in a scoreless tie?

Week 1 is in the books.
The first week of NFL action in 2017 featured more than a few great performances. Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes in yet another fourth-quarter comeback. Jacksonville Jaguars tailback Leonard Fournette racked up 100 rushing yards in his NFL debut. And Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Antonio Brown played like, well, Antonio Brown.
But fantasy owners care less about what has happened than what will happen. So we’re on to Week 2.
Can high-end fantasy quarterbacks like New England’s Tom Brady and Seattle’s Russell Wilson shake off a down Week 1 and get back on track?
What about the top fantasy running backs, nearly all of whom had a sluggish start to the season. Will Pittsburgh’s Le’Veon Bell rebound? How is David Johnson’s injured wrist?
Will Odell Beckham of the New York Giants make his 2017 debut next Monday night in Detroit. Will Atlanta’s Julio Jones and Cincinnati’s AJ Green score their first touchdown of the season in Week 2? Will the Bengals score at all?
What about fantasy’s top tight ends? Any chance one of them actually has a good Week 2? Because most spent the first week of the season on the side of a milk carton.
And if the Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars keep winning big, is that a sign of the Apocalypse?

The day of reckoning has finally arrived – almost.
On Thursday night, the Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Gillette Stadium to face the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots in the season opener of the 2017 NFL season. By the time the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos finish out the weekend with the second contest of a Monday night doubleheader, all 32 NFL teams will have played their first game of the year.
And another fantasy football campaign will be underway.
With go-time just around the corner, the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy will be gathering this week to help you get the 2017 season off on the right foot – with a win.
With Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck out against the Los Angeles Rams, what’s the outlook for players like tailback Frank Gore and wide receiver T.Y. Hilton? And how freaked out should fantasy owners be about Luck’s (and the Colts) long-term prospects?
The first Sunday night affair features a pair of fantasy studs who are both looking at uncertain statuses for Week 1. What’s the latest on New York Giants wideout Odell Beckham’s balky ankle and the ongoing suspension saga of Dallas Cowboys tailback Ezekiel Elliott?

Over the last month, we here at the Feeding Frenzy have been busily getting folks ready for the 2017 season. We’ve queried the quarterbacks. Ruminated on the running backs. Wondered on the wide receivers. And theorized on the tight ends. And now, with but one big draft weekend before Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season gets underway, just one group of players remains.
This week is all about defense. And while we’ll be D/ST a bit (and the value of streaming them) this week is really for fantasy owners who have ditched team defense altogether for the added fun and excitement of IDP.
Whether it’s the defensive linemen, the linebackers or the defensive backs, we’ll be touching on all the big questions facing fantasy owners in 2017.
Will JJ Watt of the Houston Texans return to his perch as the top defensive lineman (and overall IDP)? And if doesn’t, who will claim the spot?
Who were the winners of starting jobs in the NFL’s unsettled linebacker battles – players who could produce substantial numbers while also being available late on draft day?
And who are the discount defensive backs – late fliers in the secondary who will out-perform their modest asking prices?
All will be revealed on the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy 2017 IDP Preview.
Come on in – the water’s FINE.
We’re nearing the end of August. This week teams across the National Football League will hold all their all-important “dress rehearsal” third preseason game. And there are just two big fantasy draft weekends to go before the 2017 NFL season opens at Gillette Stadium.
There will be thousands of fantasy drafts this weekend, and drafters far and wide are looking for every edge they can get. The Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy has already previewed the quarterback position. And the running backs. And the wide receivers.
That means this week it’s time to tackle the most unpredictable position in all of fantasy – the tight ends.
The tight ends, as they have been for several years, are headlined by Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots, the oft-injured man-monster who the is the personification of the risk-reward fantasy pick. How early is too early considering his injury risk?
Speaking of injury risk, what about Jordan Reed, he of the injured foot? Reed’s falling in drafts to what could be a position of value, but is he a bargain in the waiting or fool’s gold?
Which tight ends are undervalued in 2017 and should be targeted of draft day? Which ones are overvalued busts waiting to happen.
Join the Feeding Frenzy gang on Wednesday, August 23 at 7PM Eastern for everything you need to know about tight ends leading up to your fantasy draft.

The beginning of the 2017 NFL regular season is drawing closer by the day. On Thursday, the second full week of the preseason will be underway. And fantasy football draft season is kicking into high gear.
As fantasy enthusiasts far and wide get ready to pick their teams for the upcoming campaign, it’s time for the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy to continue their position-by-position look at the season to come.
Next up, it’s the wide receivers – a position that’s grown in importance in recent years. In fact, it’s the wideouts who some fantasy pundits consider the most important position in the game.
Much like with the running backs (before last week, anyway), there’s a “Big 3” among receivers, with Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Odell Beckham of the New York Giants and Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons all vying for top honors. Who’s the king of the hill – and do any of these players merit consideration at No. 1 overall?
Of course, there’s more to the receivers than just the high-end studs. Who are the undervalued pass-catchers savvy fantasy owners should look to add on draft day? Who are the overvalued receivers to avoid? Are there any “sleeper” types who could rise from obscurity to lead fantasy owners to the promised land? And what about this year’s rookie class?
The Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gang will break down everything you need to know about the wide receivers this year on Wednesday, April 16 at 7PM ET. They’ll also break down all the latest fantasy news – including last week’s bombshell suspension.

We’re into the month of August. The Hall of Fame Game is in the books. And later this week the preseason begins in earnest. And with it that most wonderful time of year in fantasy football…
Fantasy draft season.
Last week here at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy, we discussed the quarterbacks. This week the focus of the gang at the FFFF (or 4F, as the kids say) turns to arguably the most important position in fantasy football. The position that dominates the top of drafts in 2017.
It’s running back time, baby!
Who is top dog at the position this year? Is it David Johnson of the Arizona Cardinals, who led the position in total fantasy points last year? Or is it Le’Veon Bell of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who was No. 1 in terms of fantasy points per game?
And what of the Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys, the second-year rushing king awaiting a potential suspension from the league offices?
Of course, there’s much more to the tailbacks than just the “Big 3,” whether it’s grizzled veterans like LeSean McCoy of the Buffalo Bills or up-and-coming youngsters like Jordan Howard of the Chicago Bears.
Which undervalued backs should fantasy owners target? Which busts in the making are set to crush championship dreams ala Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams? What late-round lottery tickets are about to come from nowhere to lead fantasy squads to the playoffs? And what about this year’s rookie class?

It’s time to talk quarterbacks.

It’s summertime. The kids are out of school. Grills are going across the country. And it’s time for an annual ritual that’s as American as apple pie.
Camp.
It’s time for songs around the campfire. Tasty s’mores. And padless practices where contact is a big ol’ no-no.
Those things may not all be happening in the same place.
It’s time for organized team activities across the National Football League – the first real chance teams get to take an extended look at their club for the 2017 campaign. Not only are top rookies like Leonard Fournette of the Jacksonville Jaguars on the practice field, but now they’ve been joined by most of their veteran counterparts.
That means plenty of news of note for fantasy football enthusiasts. Whether it’s how Alshon Jeffery has been getting along with Carson Wentz in the City of Brotherly Love or how Adrian Peterson is fitting in with his new teammates in the Big Easy, there have been a number of developments that could impact the fantasy value of players all over the league.
We’ve even had some late player movement, with a couple of big-name receivers finding themselves both un- and re-employed in the span of the last couple of weeks.
After a summer break of their own, the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy is back to break down the fantasy implications of the latest news and notes from OTAs.

Now that the 2017 NFL Draft is in the books, drafts of a different sort are cropping up all over the place. In these drafts, there won’t be a whole lot of working out – you’re more likely to see 40 ounces than 40 times. But the folks involved still take the festivities plenty seriously.
It’s rookie draft season in dynasty fantasy football leagues.
With that in mind, this week’s all about the first-year players at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy, as Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport and Todd Latzke break down the top 50 rookies in 2017.
At running back, Leonard Fournette of the Jacksonville Jaguars was considered the top dog headed into Philadelphia. Now that we know who landed where is that still the case? And if so – should Fournette be the first rookie drafted in 2017?
If Fournette isn’t the 1.01, then perhaps it’s one of this year’s top receivers. But which of the three young wideouts who were selected in the top 10 of the draft are the top banana in fantasy. Is it Corey Davis in Tennessee? Mike Williams in La-La Land? What about speedster John Ross in Cincinnati?
Running backs and wide receivers will no doubt dominate the first round, but what about the quarterbacks, tight ends and even the IDPs? Where do the players at those positions factor into this year’s rookie pecking order?
For the answers to those questions and much more, join us Wednesday, May 10 at 7 PM Eastern as Gary and Todd break down all the names you’ll need to know ahead of this year’s rookie draft.

After months of waiting, tons of speculation and enough scuttlebutt to fill a missile silo, it’s finally go-time, folks.
The 2017 NFL Draft is almost here.
On Thursday night the focus of football fans everywhere will be on Philadelphia, as we find out the answers to a great many questions that have been asked almost since the moment Super Bowl LI concluded.
Who will the Cleveland Browns make the No. 1 overall pick? Texas A&M edge-rusher Myles Garrett? North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky? A kicker?
Hey – it is the Browns we’re talking about.
In a draft where seemingly just about every team in the top 10 wants to trade down, will they find any takers? And if so, who will move up – ostensibly to grab a quarterback?
Speaking of the quarterbacks, how many will go in Round 1, and where will they land? What about this year’s top running backs? The wide receivers? The tight ends?
In other words, where will the top rookies of interest to fantasy owners wind up?
Of course, there’s more to the NFL draft than just Round 1. There are second-round steals. Day 3 sleepers. And picks of all shapes and sizes in between.
Regardless, the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gang has you covered. Join Fantasy Sharks staff writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and special guest Dan Collins on Wednesday, April 26 at 7 PM ET as they offer up some predictions on how the 2017 NFL Draft will play out.

It’s almost go time.
In just one week, the 2017 NFL Draft will officially get underway in Philadelphia. Months of speculation, scuttlebutt and mock drafts galore will finally, blissfully give way to the real deal.
Last week the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy looked at the top quarterbacks and running backs in the Class of 2017. That leaves two offensive position groups of interest to fantasy football owners – the wide receivers and tight ends.
As has been the case for the past few years, it’s a deep and talented group of wide receivers in 2017. But while there are plenty of players to like at the position this year, there isn’t a clear-cut top dog. If big bodies with sure hands are your thing, then Clemson’s Mike Williams or Western Michigan’s Corey Davis is likely your guy.
However, if speed’s your thing, then Washington’s John Ross (who broke Chris Johnson’s combine record by peeling off a blistering 4.22-second 40-yard dash in Indy) is this year’s target numero uno.
At tight end, there are a couple of leading to contenders to step into Hunter Henry’s shoes as the top rookie in 2017. Both O.J. Howard of Alabama and Miami’s David Njoku have the size and athleticism NFL teams crave – but each also has question marks around them.
Whether it’s mid-round sleepers, Day 3 diamonds in the rough or everything in between, join Fantasy Sharks staff writers Gary Davenport and Todd Latzke on Wednesday, April 19 at 7 PM Eastern as they break down everything you need to know about the fantasy implications of the crop of pass-catchers entering the NFL in 2017.

The big day is almost here!
OK – days.
We’re just about two weeks out from the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia, when this year’s rookie class will find out where their NFL careers will begin. It’s three days that will send shockwaves across the National Football League – and the fantasy football landscape.
And as such, it’s time for the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy to begin previewing this year’s draft – starting with the quarterbacks and tailbacks.
Unlike 2015 and 2016, it looks like the No. 1 overall pick this year will not be a sgnal-caller. That raises the question not only of who this year’s top passer is, but when he will be taken.
Will Clemson’s Deshaun Watson, North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky or Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer go first at the position? Where will the other two wind up? What about Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech? Or Brad Kaaya of Miami? And is there a mid-round quarterback who could become this year’s Dak Prescott?
Given the success Ezekiel Elliott enjoyed in 2016, fantasy owners are scrutinizing this year’s running back class even more than usual. The general consensus is that Leonard Fournette of LSU will be the first off the board, but is it possible that Florida State’s Dalvin Cook could sneak past him? And more importantly which back is the better fantasy prospect?
Who are the sleepers? The backs for NFL teams to avoid? Will I ever stop ending sentences with question marks?
Join Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport and Todd Latzke on Wednesday, April 12 at 7 PM Eastern for those answers to those questions and more as the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy kicks off their preview of the 2017 NFL Draft.

The 2017 edition of free agency in the NFL is nearing one month old. Over a billion dollars in contracts have been awarded, and any number of players of interest to fantasy football owners have found new homes.
At running back, Adrian Peterson remains unsigned, as does Jamaal Charles. The biggest name to switch teams is one of the NFL’s biggest backs, with Eddie Lacy bolting the Green Bay Packers to try to goose the ground game in Seattle. Latavius Murray has found work as well – as Peterson’s replacement with the Minnesota Vikings.
At wide receiver there’s been a ton of movement. The Washington Redskins became the first team in NFL history to lose a pair of 1,000-yard wideouts from the season before when DeSean Jackson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Pierre Garcon (San Francisco 49ers) both left town. Terrelle Pryor signed a deal in D.C to pick up some of that slack. Kenny Britt replaced Pryor as the No. 1 receiver in the fifth circle of football hell known as Cleveland. The “crown jewel” of free agency at the position (Alshon Jeffery) settled for a one-year deal, while a surprise trade sent shockwaves across the fantasy landscape.
We’re still waiting for the big shoes to drop at quarterback (“Where will Romo Land” has become the new “Who Shot J.R.?” in Texas), but dominos have fallen at tight end, including the arrival of Martellus Bennett in Titletown and his replacement joining the Super Bowl champs.
In another trade.

The “Underwear Olympics” is here!
This week, 330 of college football’s best and brightest will descend on Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine. There will be tests and interviews and drills galore – drills that will help determine the pecking order for the 2017 NFL draft.
And with it the pecking order for this year’s rookie crop in fantasy football drafts this summer.
At quarterback, there’s a three-way race to be the first signal-caller off the board this year. But do North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky, Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer or Clemson’s Deshaun Watson have what it takes to be the rare quarterback who makes a fantasy dent in Year 1?
The running backs are always the focus of lots of fantasy attention, and this year is no different. Can LSU’s Leonard Fournette, or Florida State’s Dalvin Cook come close to the immense success Ezekiel Elliott enjoyed last season?
At wide receiver, it’s another deep class, but one with no clear-cut No. 1. Is Clemson’s Mike Williams the top dog, or is Western Michigan’s Corey Davis or John Ross of Washington “the guy” in 2017?
And that’s without even mentioning the tight ends, let alone the defensive side of the ball.
Whether it’s high-end stars, sleepers or busts in the making, join the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gang on Thursday, March 2 at 7 PM Eastern as they break down the next group of NFL (and fantasy) stars in the making.
