On the back of a double gameweek, in which they won both matches, Russian players account for 45 per cent of our Team of the Week, including the entire midfield. Denis Cheryshev is probably the most surprising star at the tournament thus far considering he didn’t even make the host’s starting XI in their first match, yet came on as a super sub and all but propelled his nation to the knockout rounds....
In Week 15, there are several players that just jump out and scream “bust,” be it because of injuries or unfavorable matchups. We all know that any player can struggle (or succeed) at any time, but the SN Fantasy Experts have bad feelings about the players listed below. We can’t make your start/sit lineup decisions for you, so trust your gut if you feel otherwise; but if you trust us, hopefully we can work together to get you into the fantasy championship game....
As tough as it might be sometimes, you can’t let past performances dictate how you view players going forward. Obviously, it’s a factor, but Weeks 1-3 are in the past – you can’t change them. You have to worry about Weeks 4-13 (and hopefully beyond). That means investing in slow-starting players who are still getting ample opportunities or parting ways with your early-season breakouts who might have already peaked. Don’t consider anyone on your roster “untouchable....
My exclusive “Clutch Report” over at BigGuyFantasySports.com calculates a player’s “Clutch Factor” (level of consistency). This number is determined by several factors, including the number of teams in your league and the scoring format. A “Clutch Game” for a running back in a 12-team PPR league would be 11 points or more. A CF of more than 70 percent is typical for good players, while a CF of 80 or 90 put a player in the “great” category....
Well, that didn’t quite pan out for fantasy owners. In fact, Brown’s mid-game meltdown cost many a chance at a title and instantly became a talking point over the next two days. Brown played less than three quarters for the Buccaneers before he stormed off the field after a dispute with coach Bruce Arians. Brown ripped off his uniform, pads and undershirt on his way to the locker room and chucked his shirt and gloves into the stands....
But that doesn’t mean the Fantasy Source crew can’t dispute everything else about this notoriously thin position, including whether Jordan Cameron is good looking, how Jason Witten would function without a head, and if Bennett Cook Walker is the name of a wealthy southern shipping magnate or the last names of the three TEs who finished 10th, 11th and 12th in fantasy points last year. See, that’s why you need to listen to the latest Sporting News Fantasy Football Podcast (Download or subscribe on iTunes)....
A quick reminder: Don’t play any Bills, Colts, Lions or Raiders this week. That’s a lot of good players on bye, so it’s a good thing there are plenty of legitimate fill-in, sleeper options when you’re trying to figure out who to start.

This strategy focuses on maximising the number of elite players in your team by forgoing mid-level players and investing in cheap options. The result is a lot of high price, high performance players (stars) and many low price, high upside players (scrubs). So, despite the teachings of TLC, some scrubs do deserve some love. Below are three such players - plus three stars - who would best complement them....
The relative ADP calm has taken place yet again this offseason, but as always exceptions remain. Here, I’ll highlight players at a each skill position seeing significant fluctuation since March, using MFL10 PPR data via the RotoViz best-ball app as the most telling and fluid representation of ADP trends.

Murray’s workload – especially considering his track record of lower leg injuries – was impressive looking back, but it is alarming as we move forward. Including postseason and the Pro Bowl (laugh if you want), Murray handled a staggering 501 touches.

Two of our experts are obviously buying into the Chiefs' hot start. Kansas City, which has recorded a league-high 18 sacks, is boasting the top-scoring defense in standard leagues by a wide margin and faces the Titans this weekend. Clearly our experts aren't worried about the Titans having allowed just 3.8 fantasy points per game to D/STs, second-fewest. That's all out the window now that Ryan Fitzpatrick has taken over for the injured Jake Locker....
Things have a tendency to get worse as the week goes on, though, and a couple players from returning from bye weeks (Leonard Fournette, Sterling Shepard) will need to be monitored throughout the week.
