Three weeks in the books means many of you are starting to feel like what has happened is what will be, so just remember that we're not even a quarter of the way through this crazy 2026 fantasy football ride. We're sweating small sample sizes across all positions, and kickers can be notoriously fickle, but […]

As you intensify your planning process for Week 4, you may be contending with injuries that were sustained by multiple backs during their Week 3 matchups. That has blended with uninspiring workloads, and other production-inhibiting factors to create an escalating number of challenges that many of you will need to navigate. It will also be […]

Week 3 was an interesting week of football from a fantasy perspective, at least. We didn't see any massive breakouts for low-rostered players, but we did see quite a few names that could pique the interest of a dialed-in fantasy manager to pick up before waivers clear ahead of Week 4. Established WRs getting injured […]

There is more juice available on the fantasy football waiver wire than inside a Tropicana packing plant. Everyone is still in play since the first round of byes is another week away. The waiver wire in most fantasy leagues still has a wide array of tight ends to choose from if you need one. Some […]

The 2026 season has featured plenty of unexpected on-field performances. Week 3 also produced some surprising results among fantasy quarterbacks. Six quarterbacks in Week 3 had 20+ fantasy points at the conclusion of the 4 p.m. window. A few are names you’d expect to see at the top of fantasy scoring (Brock Purdy, Tyler Shough, […]

Week 3 showed the importance of stashing high-end backups, since in the event of an injury, they can become high-end fantasy assets. The major story was the Miami Dolphins' running back De'Von Achane suffering a torn ACL, keeping him on the shelf for the remainder of the season. In this piece, we will look at […]

Two players you want to tend to hunt for on waivers are players who are injured and coming off injured reserve at some point in the near future and players who look like they're on the verge of a breakout. One of those two situations applies to New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), Miami […]

Life comes at everyone too fast. This is especially true for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara. Just a few short years ago, he was one of the most coveted running backs in the NFL for fantasy football and was regularly winning fantasy leagues with his combination of rushing and receiving upside. Now, he's […]

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had a monster game in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Though his team eventually lost the game, he was heavily involved in the offense, catching all eight of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. It likely came as a surprise to fantasy managers. Johnson wasn't […]

With Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season now completed, roles are being solidified, and pictures are becoming clearer for NFL offenses. With the obvious caveat that it is still very early on in the campaign and things are still subject to change — and quite frankly, a lot will change throughout the course of […]

Running back handcuffs are always a hot topic in the fantasy football community. Picking the right one early can pay off substantially and even become a league winner. We’ve seen backs like Bucky Irving, Jordan Mason, Mike Davis, and Kimani Vidal step in as lead backs and win weeks for fantasy managers. If we add […]

While it's extremely difficult to get good production out of a backup running back when the starter ahead of them on the roster is healthy and active, the only guarantee in the NFL is that all players will deal with some kind of injury at some point. Even players that are rarely listed on their […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 3 of the NFL season is already behind us, which means it's time to begin setting our lineups for Week 4. While it is still relatively early in the season, we now have three full weeks of data to consider before putting the finishing touches on our lineups. In this piece, we […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) has missed the last two games for his team after sustaining a hamstring strain in practice after Week 1. Houston has stumbled out of the gate to a 0-3 start to the season, and they need Collins back in the mix to get their offense going. Collins' absence […]

Plug-and-play wide receivers can be found on the waiver wire seemingly every week. With no clear-cut league-winning waiver-wire pickups emerging, fantasy managers must continue to look at flex options. Wan'Dale Robinson, Keenan Allen, and Adonai Mitchell have all emerged as potential options at wide receiver. Robinson had his first relevant game of the season in […]

Week 4 is here, and the running back position has no shortage of tough decisions. We’ve got some explosive matchup plays, a few uncomfortable deep-league swings, and several backs whose usage has me either ready to buy in—or slam the brakes. Bucky Irving gets a dream matchup with Green Bay, Aaron Jones could see a […]

Week 4 is here, and the wide receiver position is loaded with some serious boom potential—but there are also a few names I’m not willing to trust. We’ve got bounce-back candidates, elite matchups, and some players whose usage hasn’t matched the fantasy price tag. Tetairoa McMillan gets a dream matchup with Detroit, Zay Flowers could […]

The tight end position is always full of surprises, and Week 4 is no different. We’ve got veterans like Travis Kelce looking rejuvenated, Darren Waller seeing his role grow, and Tucker Kraft sitting in a dream matchup despite the Packers’ passing game making me nervous. Plenty of reasons suggest these tight ends can deliver—but the […]

Week 4 is here, and some quarterbacks are in very different spots than they were a week ago. Bryce Young is coming off another strong fantasy performance, Marcus Mariota just torched Seattle, and C.J. Stroud has a matchup that could finally get his season moving in the right direction. But on the flip side, some […]
