There were some big disappointments with Wilfried Zaha and Xherdan Shaqiri but here’s who made it into the best performing line-up from a Fantasy perspective. GK: Wayne Hennessey - Crystal Palace - 1 Game, 2 Saves, 1 Clean Sheet = 8 Points DF: James Tomkins - Crystal Palace - 1 Game, 1 Goal, 1 Clean Sheet = 14 Points Tomkins has been more known for his injury history than his performances on the pitch, but he put in a great display on Saturday....

Yes, this will probably make your start/sit lineup decisions more difficult, but we know we’re going to get asked about these players anyway, so we figured we’d be up front about our lack of confidence in them. We’re nothing if not honest. Take it or leave it, but hopefully this advice helps you make a playoff push in your season-long leagues and/or win some cash in daily fantasy football contests....

5-Star Players LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles. While there are several questions surrounding Chip Kelly’s offense, there is no question that McCoy will be at the center of it. Expect a heavy workload against an overall weak Redskins defense. McCoy is a stud RB1. 4-Star Players Robert Griffin III, QB, Redskins. RG3’s recovery from knee surgery went as well as hoped and he’ll be under center in Week 1. Even though we didn’t get to see him in the preseason, fantasy owners can trust him as a fantasy starter....

You can answer “yes” to that question if you listen to this week’s Sporting News Fantasy Football Podcast. Segments include: Week 10 Rankings We look at Fantasy Source’s rankings and identify one guy at each position who we think is too high or too low. How do you feel this week about Matthew Stafford (Calvin’s back!), Bobby Rainey (Charles Sims is here!), Larry Fitzgerald (Carson Palmer hasn’t imploded!), and Jason Witten (Tony Romo still has a broken back!...

So, yes, guys like Malcolm Mitchell, Ryan Mathews, and more under-the-radar players could be deciding fantasy matchups this week. It happens every year – the only difference is this year, there aren’t a lot of obvious candidates. Still, we dug deep for some guys who could easily outperform where we have them ranked this week.

When picking players, it’s easy to get excited about rookies. They represent fresh young talent with untapped upside to increase the pool of the best statistical producers in the NFL. Regardless of where a prospect was taken in the real draft, it’s now all about how talented they are, how well they fit with their new NFL teams, and whether the situation is favorable to produce fantasy numbers sooner rather than later....

Just two teams (Raiders, Ravens) are on bye this week, and they feature only a handful of “must-starts” between them. Still, with the likes of Marquise Brown, Lamar Jackson, Darren Waller, Mark Andrews, and Josh Jacobs unavailable – plus of host of injured players – plenty of fantasy owners will have to dig deep for waiver wire streamers and reserve sleepers. Below, we’ll discuss those players and all the borderline fantasy plays who give you headaches every week....

Cooper immediately becomes the No. 1 receiver in Dallas, and it’s not particularly close. For the first seven weeks of the season, the Cowboys have plodded along on offense with Cole Beasley, Allen Hurns, and rookie Michael Gallup as their top receivers....

We break down whether fantasy owners should care more about Gurley new situation, or if they’re correct for writing off the former star.

There are plenty of other interesting sleepers likely sitting on your waiver wire, though. Let’s take a look at some preseason pickup candidates and a few others you might add to your watchlist. What’s up with the Ravens RB depth chart? Fantasy owners, specifically those with Justin Forsett, got a shock this weekend when the veteran and presumed Ravens starter was released. Owners likely ran out to grab Terrance West and may have even dropped Forsett before he was re-signed by Baltimore on Monday....

Many of the bottom-tier QBs, like Drew Stanton (@Texans), Tom Savage (vs. Cardinals), Jay Cutler (vs. Bucs), Blake Bortles (@ Browns) and Eli Manning (vs. Chiefs), get extremely favorable matchups. All five face opponents ranked in the top-10 in fantasy points per game (FPPG) allowed to quarterbacks. Pick your poison with one of those streaming options. Related note: Three of the defenses ranked in the top 10 in FPPG allowed to QBs are on bye (49ers, Jets, Colts), which stings our rankings a little bit this week....
