Kenneth Gainwell, Tony Pollard, Jaylen Warren: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 17

The running back position is quite interesting in championship week. Any starting RB as well as a handful of RB2s should be considered for starting lineups. Even the "lower-tier" starting RBs can be quite valuable for fantasy teams. We just saw Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard, who was one of the biggest draft busts […]

Parker Washington, Wan'Dale Robinson, Jakobi Meyers: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 17

George Kittle Injury Report: Will Kittle Play in Week 17 for Fantasy Football?

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) had a huge game in Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts.

With 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk […]

Is DK Metcalf Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 17)

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf isn't necessarily dealing with an injury. Instead, he was involved in an altercation with a fan of the Detroit Lions in his team's Week 16 win over that team.

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Kyle Pitts Sr., Kirk Cousins, Colby Parkinson Fantasy Football Outlooks

Week 15 has concluded, and despite being nearly done with the 2025 NFL season, we still saw players have surprise performances that made fantasy managers consider grabbing them off waivers and starting them in Week 16, even with potential elimination on the line.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) suffered his second knee sprain of the 2025 season in Week 10. It was his first game back from his first knee sprain, which caused him to miss three weeks, including his team's Week 9 bye. It seems, on the surface, like the Jets rushed him back […]

Fantasy Football Playoff D/ST Busts? Defenses to Avoid in Weeks 15-17

The D/ST position in fantasy football is certainly frustrating to deal with. Each year, there are only a handful that become set and forget at their position. This season, the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans lead that group, but there aren't many. The problem is that a lot of things typically have to go right […]

Is Omarion Hampton or Kimani Vidal the RB1 for the Los Angeles Chargers?

The Los Angeles Chargers activated rookie running back Omarion Hampton from injured reserve ahead of Week 15 of the 2025 season.

QB Fantasy Football Playoffs Strength of Schedule - Best/Worst Quarterback Matchups

We've already seen the Atlanta Falcons play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. On Thursday Night Football, the Bucs shockingly collapsed, losing to Atlanta 28-29.

It's Week 15, which is the first week of the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues. Whether you made it in and want to win a championship, or are just looking to avoid your league's last place spot, there's still reason to work the waiver wire. Even if you're out of the playoffs, it makes […]

Fantasy Football Playoffs Landmines to Avoid? Jacoby Brissett, Breece Hall, DK Metcalf, Jayden Higgins, more

We're just one week away from the fantasy football playoffs in most fantasy leagues. Public ESPN leagues actually start the playoffs in Week 14, but most leagues don't, as there are still a lot of teams on bye that week. It doesn't make much sense to have playoff games that week. Instead, it's the last […]

Should I Start DJ Moore in Week 14? Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has had a very rocky season in the NFL in 2025. Fantasy managers who drafted him around his ADP, between the fourth and sixth rounds, have likely struggled with the decision to start him or leave him on the bench every week. And it would be hard to blame […]

DJ Moore, Luther Burden III, Kyle Monangai: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 14

The Chicago Bears will be without wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) for some period of time.

Fantasy Football Landmines to Avoid for Week 14: Deebo Samuel, Darnell Mooney, Oronde Gadsden

It's crunch time now. If you're fighting for the best overall seed in your league, trying to get a first-round bye, or even doing what you can to make the playoffs at all, there are certain players you might want to be very wary of starting. Of course, whether or not you should bench the […]

Should I Pickup Luther Burden III or Colston Loveland? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has been struggling production-wise for the past few weeks. He's had some solid games, but those have been mixed in with awful performances, including a 0.0 PPR fantasy point game in Week 9 against a week Cincinnati Bengals defense. Odunze's early-season tear gave way to major inconsistency, but […]

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in his Week 13 contest against the Green Bay Packers.

Trey Benson, Bam Knight, Bhayshul Tuten: Must-Add Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14 Fantasy?

Let's say you're one of the many fantasy football managers who drafted Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle). Maybe you chose Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle).

Mike Evans, Christian Watson, Jayden Higgins: Must-Add Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14 Fantasy?

The wide receiver position is just a little bit more forgiving than the running back position in terms of finding talent on the waiver wire. It's hard to find players that will be consistently good moving forward, though. Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone), Green Bay Packers wideout Christian Watson, and Houston Texans […]

Should I Pickup Isaac TeSlaa or Tom Kennedy? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

Detroit Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) went down very early in his team's Week 13 Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers with an ankle injury.

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Dontayvion Wicks, Adonai Mitchell, Devaughn Vele Fantasy Football Outlooks

Green Bay Packers wide receiver, Dontayvion Wicks, New York Jets wideout Adonai Mitchell, and New Orleans Saints receiver Devaughn Vele all had surprisingly great outings in Week 13 for their fantasy football managers. All of them were rostered in fewer than 10 percent of Sleeper leagues heading into the week, so it's not like anyone […]

When Is Drake London Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 14 (2025)

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) hasn't had great luck with injuries this season.

Is J.K. Dobbins Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 14)

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) got injured in his team's Week 10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Now, his return is […]
