Let's look forward to Week 3 and beyond with an updated rest-of-season rankings sheet. There were myriad injuries and role changes across the NFL last weekend, which means we've got plenty of adjustments to make and reactions to fire off. Let me help out with these Week 3 fantasy football half-PPR and full-PPR rankings for […]

We are already entering Week 3 of the NFL season. Injuries are upon us in a big way, which makes weekly lineup decisions that much more difficult. Fantasy managers are already digging into the bench and waivers to fill a lineup. With important players such as Caleb Williams, J.K. Dobbins, and Malik Nabers dealing with […]

Week 1 brought us the highest-scoring opening weekend in NFL history. Week 2 was much, much uglier. Between bad weather and sloppy play, Week 2 was a slog, especially the opening half of the early window on Sunday. When all was said and done, there were more risers than fallers, but some very notable names […]

These players can save you crucial FAAB dollars and add a potential must-start to your lineup. Below, we will look at four high-upside stash options worth targeting ahead of Week 3. Who […]

It's already time for the second waiver wire run of the year, and last week's slate was full of injuries, meaning many fantasy managers are in need of reinforcements this week. We're here to assist with our Week 3 RotoBaller Staff waiver wire picks, including Kaelon Black, Denzel Boston, Pat Freiermuth, and Malik Willis. Some […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books, which means it's already time to look ahead to Week 3. Even though we may only be two weeks into the season, managers now have access to more data and can begin to identify lineup landmines much earlier than before. Below, we will […]

If nothing else, Week 2 of the 2026 season should have served as a stark reminder that it is not wise to overreact to Week 1. Some players who started hot have cooled off, and many players who disappointed to begin the year have already course-corrected (sorry, Marvin Harrison Jr. managers). And then, of course, […]

The 2026 NFL season has two weeks in the books. Following Week 2, there is a fresh batch of data to parse through regarding who is making an impact, who is seeing meaningful snaps, who has earned a rotational role, and — perhaps equally as important - who is not doing any of that for […]

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., thus far in his career, has been speculated to be one of the biggest busts of all time. Through two games in 2026, the former No. 4 overall pick, once hyped as a generational talent at his position, has caught the ball a single time. The Cardinals don't exactly have […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins missed Week 2, and the Houston Texans couldn't get into the end zone in their 20-6 defeat at home against the Bengals without their star receiver. The loss dropped the Texans to 0-2, so they need Collins back as soon as possible from his injury. Collins' fantasy football managers […]

Two weeks into the fantasy football season, we’re getting a much clearer picture of running back workloads. We’ve seen which players are dominating touches, which backfields are becoming committees, and which backs are earning valuable work in the passing game and red zone. Now it’s about using that information without overreacting to a small sample […]

We’re starting to see which wide receivers are earning consistent targets and which ones are still searching for their role. Early-season production can be misleading, but target share, route participation, air yards, and red-zone usage give us valuable clues about where the fantasy opportunities are coming from. Week 3 also brings some very favorable matchups […]

Week 3 is where the early-season fantasy football picture starts to come into focus. We’ve now seen two games of usage, targets, routes, and red-zone opportunities, giving us a much better idea of which tight ends are actually involved in their offenses—and which ones are relying on touchdowns to save their fantasy weeks. At tight […]

Week 3 is where the early-season fantasy football picture starts to come into focus. Two weeks of usage, matchups, and production give us more information to work with, but it’s still important not to overreact to a small sample. Some quarterbacks are showing signs of sustainable fantasy production, while others are benefiting from circumstances that […]

And just like that, 12% of the fantasy football season is in the books (14% if you count our "regular season" through Week 14). Many of you just experienced low-scoring whiplash after an electric Week 1, so now you're going to act rationally, yes? We join you to take a deep breath and get those […]

We've all felt the urge to rage-drop a particular player. Our emotions can sometimes get the best of all of us. However, when we're making waiver wire moves, they should be calculated and purposeful. Unfortunately, every new addition comes with a cost. Especially early in the season, we want to be confident in who we're […]

Week 1 brought plenty of fireworks. Unfortunately, Week 2 has been the opposite. It's been filled with awful weather, low-scoring contests, and more injuries than fantasy managers would like to count. The injuries will likely create a busy waiver week as teams scramble to find replacements. There may not be any league winners on the […]

Week 2 of the fantasy season reminded us that football can be brutal. Major injuries took out several quarterbacks (Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Jaxson Dart), running backs (Jadarian Price and Saquon Barkley), wide receivers (Malik Nabers, Mike Evans, and Alec Pierce), and tight ends (Dallas Goedert, David Njoku, and Eli Raridon). Those injuries could […]

We have reached the end of an exciting Week 2 with a lot of data and information to sort through. We saw rookies ball out across the league, and a couple of dominoes set up future fantasy roads down the line this season. Whether you’re riding high at 2-0 or feeling like waiving the white […]

Week 2 was quite interesting from a "Jesus Christ, I have so many injured receivers on my fantasy football rosters, I really hope some guys break out this week so I can add them off waivers and hope they save me from certain doom" perspective. There were a few surprise performances. A few big games […]

If your fantasy football team is going to be bad, let it be bad during the first two weeks when terrible teams get priority picking on the waiver wire. The shelves are stocked with great buys like a Target or a Walmart! The bye weeks are not happening yet, and thank goodness! Fantasy managers need […]

It was glorious to have football back in our lives during Week 1. Unfortunately, Week 2 reminded us of this game's harsh realities. Both the Chicago Bears (Caleb Williams) and Washington Commanders (Jayden Daniels) lost their third-year quarterbacks for an undetermined amount of time. Thankfully, there have been a lot of quarterbacks performing at a […]

A modest second week followed the outpouring of points seen in Week 1, but surely you pressed the right buttons, and Lady Luck brought you the win. Kickers remain the beloved, exceptionally volatile pieces of our game, but that doesn't mean you trip yourself up by simply locking one into place for the entire year. […]
