High-Upside Bench Stashes: Sneaky Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Adds Before Week 2
Hey RotoBallers! With the first week of football in the books (and the first game of Week 2), it is time to begin planning ahead on the waiver wire.

NFL QB Power Rankings: All 32 Starting Quarterbacks for Week 2 Football (2025)
NFL quarterback play was shaky in Week 1. Some of our league's best passers, such as Baker Mayfield, Joe Burrow, and C.J. Stroud, could not even crack 200 passing yards. Defenses often have the edge over offenses early in the season, but this week felt worse than the norm. We can expect times to get […]

As always, Week 1 of the fantasy football season brought plenty of surprise boom and bust performances.

NFL DFS Picks for Week 2 - FanDuel Top Plays, Value Picks for Daily Fantasy Football Lineups (2025)
It wasn’t an ideal Week 1 for many of the top-ranked preseason fantasy options, with Ja'Marr Chase, Joe Burrow, A.J. Brown, and Brian Thomas Jr., to name a few, all finishing with below-average production. It’s easy to think the worst. With that said, it’s fair to assume at least some of the highest-scoring performers from the […]

Week 2 Fantasy Football Busts? Players Who May Disappoint (2025)
Hey, the opening week of games was fun! There were very few injuries (*knock on wood*), and with bye weeks still to come, fantasy managers can still mostly start the lineup they drafted.

Targets, Air Yards, Snap Counts Analysis - Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers for Week 2 (2025)
Targets are paramount when it comes to evaluating pass-catchers for fantasy football. There are no air yards, receiving yards, receptions, or touchdowns without first earning a target.

Fantasy Football Matchups We Love - Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 2 (2025)
The opening week of NFL action did not bring much in the way of fantasy studs. Oh boy, were the duds plentiful. In a week in which hardly any games hit the over on their scoring line, fantasy managers paid with many fantasy teams failing to score 100 points in PPR formats. This is not […]
