Week 3 is the first week that actually feels like a season. Two games of usage, snap counts, and defensive tape are now on the board, and the remaining schedule is full of mismatches that will either inflate or crush a player’s ceiling. The Sunday-Monday slate alone has the Ravens and Cowboys in Brazil sitting […]

Hey RotoBallers! The opening game of the Week 3 slate is already behind us, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't still turn to the waiver wire to find any potential sleeper pickups. However, when adding a player, we have to say goodbye to a current member of our fantasy roster. In this piece, we spotlight […]

Hey RotoBallers! The full Week 3 slate of the NFL kicks off in a few days, which means it's time to put the finishing touches on our starting lineup. Finding a high-end upside option to put in your D/ST can be the difference between winning or losing your matchup. In this week's edition, we will […]

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston entered the 2026 NFL season with high expectations. It was believed that new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel could finally unlock his upside as a run-after-catch threat. That speculation has fallen flat on its face through two weeks. Many believed Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert would feed Johnston heavily, and McDaniel would scheme […]

We are back for the Week 3 NFL Props article. The plays absolutely crushed last week, as we finished 5-2, with one of the losses following an injury to Jayden Daniels in the first half. Let's keep the momentum going. The mission here is to uncover value on the top player props as the season […]

Week 2 was a bloodbath. If you came out unscathed, consider yourself lucky. Many other fantasy managers did not have that fortune. A whole lot of fantasy managers out there are in need of replacement options. There are also disappointing players who need to hit the bench. We are still early in the season, but […]

The disparity between what we saw in Week 1 and what played out in Week 2 was ridiculous. Every team that got blown out the first week of the season ended up winning outright last weekend. Hopefully we can start developing consistent patterns now that we’ve entered the third week of the year. Something to […]

After an absolutely wild and high-scoring opening week of the 2026 fantasy football season, Week 2 reminded us just how quickly things can change in fantasy football due to injuries and even weather. Some of the players who dominated in Week 1 came back to earth, while injuries and changing workloads have already created some […]

Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the third edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. Week 3 of the NFL season kicked off last night, but that doesn't mean we can't scan the waiver wire for any potential lottery tickets. This week, we will look at an emerging rookie running back in Tennessee who could find more […]

The quarterback injuries began to appear in Week 2. Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart, and Jayden Daniels were all notable names who went down. On the bright side, it would seem that Williams avoided a major injury. However, Daniels and Dart are looking at extended absences. Despite the injuries, we were treated to more great quarterback […]

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. […]

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 […]

Welcome to Week 3 of fantasy football and another edition of Warning Signals. Like any fantasy football player, I’m always looking for a reason behind why a player busted in a given week (or weeks) or how NFL roster changes might affect players I have on my roster. In this column, I share a handful […]

The 2026 NFL season rolls on to Week 3, so it's time to continue my weekly bold predictions column. This is where I'm trying to predict which players will hit their ceilings this week. I'll focus on players who you're likely on the fence with in start-and-sit decisions. On this page, you're going to find […]

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 […]

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 […]

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz went off in Week 2. After a solid Week 1, in which he caught four of his eight targets for 35 yards, he busted through the gates of fantasy football relevance with 12 catches on 14 targets for 140 receiving yards. The huge performance from Schultz made him the […]

The 2026 NFL season continues rolling along! Some squads head into Week 3 with surprising records, as well as multiple injuries. We jumpstart Week 3 with a Thursday night matchup between a pair of squads sorely needing a win, as the Falcons travel to Lambeau Field to face the Packers. Through the good, bad, and […]

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 […]

Sometimes, it's best to bite the bullet and cut bait with underperforming players in fantasy football. Being tempted to put them in your starting lineup, even for upcoming matchups that may look easy on paper, can put you in a hole and make it difficult to win your fantasy games in your leagues. The worst […]

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 […]

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 […]
