What's up, RotoBallers, and welcome to 2025's final edition of wide receiver waiver wire pickups. Wow. As has been the case all year, this week was not short of trials, tribulations, and "what the heck" moments. After watching Pittsburgh's DK Metcalf take a swing at a fan in the stands, I'm surprised we don't see […]

Welcome in, RotoBallers, to the penultimate edition of 2025's wide receiver waiver wire pickups, and what a year it's been. If you were lucky enough to be the owner of one of this weekend's standout performers -- congrats! You're likely (hopefully) well on your way to the second round of the tournament. Apologies to those […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, for Week 15's edition of wide receiver waiver wire pickups. It's bittersweet, isn't it? An entire season's worth of roster decisions, start-sit questions, and the like, all bringing us to one destination -- the fantasy playoffs. If you're still with us, don't blink. While it's been a wild ride in the 2025 […]

What's up, RotoBallers, and welcome back for another edition of fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups -- Week 14. This is it; only one game stands between (most of) us and the fantasy playoffs, so it's time to lay it all on the line -- taking whatever measures necessary to grab a victory and […]

Hello, RotoBallers, and welcome back for Week 13's edition of fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups. If you're still with us, kudos -- 2025 has been a grind. Incredibly, just two games separate us from the fantasy playoffs, so it's time to make one last push ahead of arguably the season's most critical weeks. […]

What's up, RotoBallers, and welcome back for our fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups of Week 12. Whether you're still fighting for a playoff spot or out to ruin your league mate's playoff chances, we've got you covered for the week ahead. With another four-team bye week on tap and injuries abound, it could […]

Howdy, RotoBallers, and welcome back to another edition of fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups -- Week 11. It feels like just yesterday that we were gearing up for the beginning of the season. Now, we're up to our armpits in data and officially past the year's mid-way point -- steadily encroaching the fantasy […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Week 10 edition of fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups. The injury bug has hit hard across the last month, and Week 9 was no different, with another slew of ailing stars to give fantasy managers fits. In particular, the situation down in Jacksonville is getting quite hairy -- […]

Howdy, RotoBallers, and welcome back to another edition of our fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups -- Week 9. If you made it through this week's bye-pocalypse unscathed, hats off, because it was an interesting week for fantasy. It was the running backs that stole the show in Week 8, but there are still […]

What's up, RotoBallers, and welcome back to our Week 8 fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups. Week 7 was loaded with week-winning performances, so hopefully some of them were locked into your lineups. As a position overall, WR scoring saw a modest uptick over this most recent slate of games. That's encouraging, though I'm […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups for Week 7. With bye weeks in full swing, we're fortunate to face another two-team bye in the slate of games ahead. Now is a perfect time, however, to prepare for the mega-bye coming up in Week 8. In just two weeks, six […]

Welcome in, RotoBallers, to our Week 6 edition of fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups. Last week was packed to the brim with blowouts and some nice individual performances, but an alarming trend continues in 2025 -- the decline of the passing game. It's only a five-game sample, but we're sitting at 210.1 passing […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to Week 5's edition of our fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups. Can you believe that we're nearly (essentially) a quarter of the way through the season? Time flies! Week 4 has graced us with another Monday Night Football doubleheader (NYJ/MIA, CIN/DEN), so we haven't quite mined all of this weekend's […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to Week 4's edition of our fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups of the 2025 NFL season. If you were lucky enough to escape unscathed by injury, then kudos to you, because it felt like all the fortuitous injury luck graced upon us through the first two weeks came back at […]

Welcome RotoBallers to our fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups for Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season. Sunday was chock-full of massive performances and disappointments. It was nice to see Detroit rebound in their 52-21 mollywhopping of the Bears. On the other side of that coin, the Packers' defense looks legit. Not to […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups for Week 2 of the 2025 season. Did that feel as long for you as it did for me? Football is back (!), and opening week was not short of storylines. Everything we've planned for and adjusted to for the last seven months is […]

We made it. Whether your fate is already sealed heading into tonight's matchup or hinges on one of the many fantasy-relevant assets partaking in the Detroit vs. San Francisco game on Monday Night Football -- Week 17 was weird. Aside from multiple games on Wednesday and Saturday, which was strange (and enjoyable) in its own […]

Week 16 felt like a whirlwind. It featured enormous performances for both wideouts and running backs. This slate of NFL action has brandished the second-most touchdowns of the season -- one shy of matching the highest total of 2024 (Week 8). Just in time for the fantasy semi-finals. If you're still kicking, then kudos. Getting […]

The NFL playoff race is getting down to the nitty-gritty while the fantasy playoffs are in full swing. I'll admit, it's a bittersweet time of the year. As we reach the peak of football season, the fantasy championships are approaching. Soon, we won't have any live action to keep us entertained, only speculation on draft […]

With just one game to go before we usher in the fantasy playoffs, you're sitting in one of three places: You've already clinched a playoff spot -- perhaps a first-round bye -- and tomorrow night is a formality. You're hinged on what is, for all intents and purposes, a meeting packed to the brim with […]

Week 13 felt strange, even though it was the first time since Week 8 that we had a full slate of football. However, stay vigilant, as there is one more six-team bye week that I hope you've been preparing for. That'll be your final test. Your final push for the playoffs relies on a week […]

Despite a heavily diminished slate of football with six teams on bye, Week 12 was not short of action. The early slate of games was wild and an absolute joy to watch. Four of the seven early-window matchups were one-score games, while the remaining three were blowouts. Though, none were more exciting than the Dallas […]

Week 11 is nearly in the books, and it might have just been the best weekend of football yet. The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers again played a slobberknocker -- as is usually the case when these two AFC North foes square off -- as every matchup between the long-time rivals seems to come down […]

With four teams on bye this week (CLE, GB, LV, and SEA), we were back to a diminished slate of football. Booo. That only compounded the fact that scoring was down to its lowest figure on a per-matchup basis since Week 2. However, Week 10 still had its headlines, including eight of the 14 contests […]

The running back renaissance is truly upon us in 2024. While rushing touchdowns were down this week, matching the lowest number of the season thus far (23), the top-10 RBs had their best week yet. Week 9 was the first time all season that each athlete to be featured on this list all hit 21 […]

With Week 8 nearly complete, the season's mid-point is (somehow) upon us. Time flies, huh? 2024 has been quite the whirlwind thus far, but don't fret -- there's still time for everything we know to get turned on its head. Hopefully, that isn't the case, as we've had more twists and turns than an M. […]

Week 7 gave us a near-full slate of games with just the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears on bye. There were a few blowouts, two nail-biters, and a stunning divisional showdown that was a lot of fun to watch (more on that later). It wasn't all good, though, as injuries continue to pile up across […]

Even with the Chiefs, Rams, Dolphins, and Vikings all on bye, Week 6 was not short of action. It marked back-to-back weeks that we had a high-scoring affair on Thursday Night Football, and overall, offenses appear to be waking up a bit. Seven teams scored 34+ points this week -- the second-most teams this season […]

Week 5 was fun, not just for the running backs. Seven of the 13 matchups thus far have matched or surpassed 46 points, with three contests exceeding 66 (!) combined points. All of them divisional matchups between the Falcons and Buccaneers, Colts and Jaguars, and Ravens and Bengals. It's a pleasant surprise with a notable […]

With just under a quarter of the season completed, it has been one of the wildest first four weeks in NFL history. Aside from the turnstile of injuries we've experienced and the litany of surprise busts and studs -- the NFC divisional leaders are the Minnesota Vikings (4-0), Washington Commanders (3-1), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers […]
