Indeed, we often see even some of the best players in the NFL have entire seasons in which they don't produce well. For example, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had an abysmal 2025 season, at least by his standards. Trying to trade for him that year wouldn't have resulted in you winning your fantasy […]

It's time to set those Week 3 lineups, and if you have tough start-sit calls, we're here to assist! In these Week 3 overall fantasy football rankings below, see where early-season studs, sleepers, and slow starters such as Kenneth Walker III, Zay Flowers, Davante Adams, Christian Watson, Colston Loveland, Rashee Rice, Deebo Samuel Sr., Adonai Mitchell, Denzel […]

It's been very different results for me in terms of prop bets this season. I cleaned up in Week 1, nailing most of my calls on that slate, and then got crushed last week with a lot of bets failing to cash. We had quite a few fluky results last week, so I am hoping […]

Whether you're 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2, there is a lot of football left, so things can change in a hurry, especially at the running back spot. Jonah Coleman, Emanuel Wilson, Rhamondre Stevenson, Jaylen Warren, Tony Pollard, Bhayshul Tuten, Jadarian Price, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt are trending names on the start-sit bubble in Week 3 for various […]

We witnessed a devastating Week 2 for NFL teams and fandoms around the league with injuries last weekend. Unfortunately, Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders were unable to avoid the disaster. The young franchise quarterback was well on his way to reminding the league who he is as a dynamic player before dislocating his elbow […]

There have been several surprise performances out of the wide receiver position to begin 2026, which is no surprise. It's the most volatile and deep position in fantasy football, which can leave fantasy managers making tough start-sit calls. We're here to help with these Week 3 fantasy football wide receiver rankings. Where do key players […]

The tight end position has already been head-scratching through two weeks, and that seems to be a common theme with the shallow position. Luckily, an elite option is back in the mix heading into Week 3. We're here to help you with key start-sit calls with our Week 3 fantasy football tight end rankings. Below, […]

Week 2 brought clarity to some unique situations after a puzzling opening week. Last week’s list had positives, with the Broncos, Rams, and Jets offenses all looking good. Meanwhile, Jalen Coker and TreVeyon Henderson looked like potential breakout candidates. The list also had negatives, with the Giants and Cardinals falling back to earth and Carson […]

For receivers and running backs, identifying breakout or improving players is easy. Just check the box score. It's generally simpler and more straightforward at these positions than at tight end. Sometimes with tight ends, we don't always see the first signs of a breakout until it's smack dab in front of us. It's what makes […]

After a long offseason wait for fantasy football, the season has already reached Week 3, and you must be sure to maximize every change you have to stack up wins ahead of the fantasy football playoffs, especially before byes start taking players out of your lineups. We're here to help your QB start-sit calls with […]

Welcome to Week 3 of fantasy football and another edition of Warning Signals.

Today, we'll look at some interesting Week 3 lineup decisions for players like Rhamondre Stevenson, Rome Odunze, Khalil Shakir, and more -- and how their matchups project for the week. […]

One could argue that the most important aspect of dynasty fantasy football is knowing when to bail. It hurts to part with a player who has won you matchups — or maybe even leagues. But the vision for the future is what separates dynasty from redraft formats. The problem with most dynasty "sell" content in […]

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 […]

When does overreaction turn into simple acceptance? How long do smart managers wait on talent and ignore concerning usage, or health, before giving up and accepting it just may not happen this season? Colston Loveland has been a hot prospect all summer because he closed the 2025 season as the second-most dominant tight end in […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Can the injuries please stop? Another showdown with a key piece going down early. This time, Jaxson Dart, who is likely headed towards season-ending knee surgery. You really hate to see it; in his first game of the season, he looked fantastic. I was able to sneak into cash with Davante Adams, […]

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 […]

This week I'm pinch-hitting on this feature for our friend Kevin Tompkins -- kinda like […]

After a high-octane first week of NFL action, scoring declined significantly in Week 2. According to ESPN, the 4.5-point plunge in points per team tied for the third-largest dip from Week 1 to Week 2 since 1970. This was visible across fantasy leagues, as even a mediocre performance from your squad may have been enough […]

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 […]

  In-Season Weekly Rankings and Preparing for Fantasy Football Drafts Welcome to our updated fantasy football weekly rankings. To begin your fantasy football preparation during draft season, or weekly once the season starts, our rankings help you research the top players for developments, role changes, and other factors that can influence their updated season projections. […]

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, […]

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 […]
