Mastermind Moment:
Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers faces a soft Bengals defense, so he is an interesting streaming option for owners in need in large leagues this week. Still, you will find him in the 5th Tier with so many better options to start. RB Jaylen Warren had a good game last week, but not much for fantasy. That should change with a score this week, making him a solid RB2 during this 2-team BYE week. RB Kenneth Gainwell still has some flex appeal as a low-end RB3 for fantasy. Veteran WR D.K. Metcalf scored again last week and is connecting well with Rodgers, making him a low-end WR1 this week against the Bengals. If anyone is going to make a big play, it will be Metcalf.

"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."
