Eric Ebron to the Steelers

If I had to describe Ebron’s prevailing narrative, I would say that most dynasty owners consider Ebron to be a complete bust, who then had one outlier season in 2018 before fading back to normal in 2019. However, that narrative isn’t real. Ebron was consistently mediocre from 2015-2017, finishing as a high-end TE2 in each year. Both 2018 and 2019 are outliers compared to that stretch of middling performances. To determine the truth about Ebron, we need to go back and look beyond the top-line stats.

Funchess Signs with the Packers

Devin Funchess recently signed with the Packers in free agency to a 1-year, $2.5 million contract. His contract also contains $3.75 million in incentives, making Funchess’ maximum salary $6.25 million. Therefore, if Funchess performs well, he has the opportunity to earn a significant amount of extra money. Before going into Funchess’ future outlook, let’s look back at how he arrived at this point in his career.

IDP Change of Scenery: San Francisco to Indianapolis

This trade has the star power, the first round pick involved and was a bit of surprise to a lot of us. The San Francisco 49ers traded star stud defensive tackle, DeForest Buckner, and in return, they would receive the Colts’ 2020 first round pick (13th overall). A big trade for both, with both getting impact pieces for their teams.

The Waiver Wire: Week 9 (Updated)

After Week 8 had just two teams on bye, Week 9 sees four teams with the week off. The Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Rams, and New Orleans Saints are all off this week along with some high powered fantasy assets. This week’s waiver wire isn’t the strongest so you may want to be a bit frugal. If you don’t have any pressing needs this would be a good week to hold on to your FAAB bucks or your waiver priority. There are some deeper options though if you’re in need. Let’s get to it.

In the Scope: Week 8

Due to recent injuries, breakouts, and trades, there seems to be a buzz around the waiver wire for the first time in a while heading into Week 8.And while you’re still using your FAAB and waiver claims on priority adds like Ty Johnson and Kenny Stills (both of whom were featured in this column earlier this season), it’s still important to take your chance on a flier to fill out your bench once the waivers have cleared.As always, here are your Week 8 “In the Scope” candidates who have the potential to be next week’s top waiver claims

Week 7 Streamers

Kirk Cousins (MIN) vs. Lions, 26.6% owned
All of a sudden, the Vikings have opened up their offense to include far more passing. Cousins has exceeded 300 passing yards in each of the last two weeks. In Week 6 against the Eagles, star receiver Stefon Diggs finally got going, breaking out for seven receptions, 167 yards, and three receiving touchdowns. Cousins also continued his chemistry with his other great receiver Adam Thielen, connecting for six receptions, 57 yards, and a touchdown. For the season, Cousins has nine passing touchdowns compared to just three interceptions, making him a reliable and relatively safe quarterback. To further advocate for Cousins, his Week 8 and Week 9 matchups are against the Redskins and Chiefs, respectively, so this could be a three-week run for Cousins. Given the poor state of streamers in Week 7, Cousins will likely be ranked as a borderline QB1 in a relatively neutral matchup against the Lions.

AFC South Factory Divisional Nuggets: Week 4

HOUSTON TEXANS
This team seems to be alternating between exciting offensive battles like the Week 1 shootout in New Orleans and Week 3’s 27-20 upset win over the Chargers on the road. In the even weeks, they’ve been borderline unwatchable so far, holding off Jacksonville for a 13-12 victory in the final minute in Week 2 and then falling at home to Carolina 16-10 on Sunday. In other words, this is a 2-2 Bill O’Brien coached team that looks like a 2-2 Bill O’Brien coached team.
