BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense. That might not matter much, though. The Lions have a matchup with the Buffalo Bills coming up, […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) unfortunately injured his hamstring during training camp. Before the season started, he was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return. That means he'll miss at least four games, though we're not sure yet if he'll miss more. Tyson has a concerning history of hamstring injuries. […]

The wide receiver position always seems to have at least a few players who crush it every year that weren't drafted in most fantasy football leagues. The position also often features breakouts that don't come until later in the season, giving you an opportunity to boost your team significantly if you're able to land one. […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell played well in 2024 as a mostly pass-catching running back. He totaled 73 catches on 85 targets for 486 yards and three touchdowns, and played solidly as a pass-protector. He was expected to have a non-trivial passing-down role with the Bucs in 2026. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear likely. […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker had an absolutely massive game in Week 1 for his team, despite playing in a loss. He hauled in eight of his nine targets for 138 yards and a touchdown, easily pacing his team in targets, catches, yards, and scores. This all came despite him not being universally considered […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains on the NFL Commissioner's Exempt List for now, which renders him unable to play or practice with his team until he's removed. He's embroiled in a legal situation in which he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend. Obviously, while he's on this list, he will not step on the […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught zero of his three targets in his team's Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Super Bowl rematch didn't feature the former Packers wideout contributing at all. In fact, he had a crucial drop on a route in which he was wide open, which could have […]

The expected league-winning Josh Jacobs replacement had a rough start to his 2026 season. Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd had a disappointing debut as his team's starter in Week 1. He rushed 13 times for just 37 yards, good for under three yards per carry, and failed to bring in his only target […]

The Minnesota Vikings had an impressive comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers in their Week 1 matchup to kick off their 2026 NFL season. Their starting quarterback, Kyler Murray (head), sustained a concussion early in the game, and was pulled in favor of QB Carson Wentz, who led the rally. Unfortunately, wide receiver Jordan […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Makai Lemon, a rookie and first-round draft pick this season, made his NFL debut on Sunday. It's a good thing he was healthy, or at least off the injury report, after dealing with a hamstring injury in the offseason. But his presence didn't amount to much production. In fact, on the […]

The running back position on the waiver wire is typically barren after a few weeks of fantasy football. That doesn't mean you can't get decent values early on. You should always be scouring waivers for potential future viable starters. Ahead of Week 2 is a perfect time to get to work on that, so let's […]

The tight end position is often the most difficult to fill on a weekly basis, especially if you avoided the high-end players in your drafts. There simply aren't many players at the position that score tons of fantasy points. The bright side of that is that it doesn't take a TE that scores a high […]

We're just one week into the season and have already seen many impressive performances at the tight end position. The TE position is one that can produce some excellent values that you can pick up for free on the waiver wire. You should always be scoping out waivers for tight ends. The same goes for […]

Most of Week 1's games of the 2026 NFL season have now been played, so we have a solid idea of how early-season roles for many players will play out. Obviously, most of the best players were drafted and will never hit the waiver wire or free agency. But after Week 1, you can snag […]

The running back position is unique in fantasy football redraft leagues with standard roster lineups thanks to its extreme scarcity combined with massive upside. Getting the best running back waiver wire pickups can help propel your team to the playoffs. The not-in-case-of-injury upside guys tend to go pretty quickly -- within the first two weeks. […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy, the subject of some amount of hype in the offseason, was targeted only four times in his team's Week 1 loss to their NFC East rival, the New York Giants. Flournoy was a non-factor in the offense, though that could have been said about everyone except their starting running […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams handled 12 of the 15 carries the Cowboys called for running backs in his team's Week 1 loss. He averaged a lowly 3.4 yards per carry, though he did find the end zone once on the ground. He added five catches on five targets for 31 yards and another […]

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson was targeted just two times in his team's defeat against the New York Giants in their season opener. The entire offense was mostly quiet, though they did score three touchdowns. Ferguson finished the day with only six receiving yards, making him an irrelevant fantasy option. He didn't do much […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was his team's leading target earner and receiver, catching five of his eight targets for 44 yards and one touchdown in his team's loss to the New York Giants in Week 1. Dallas' passing game was mostly held in check, with just 175 total passing yards to go around […]

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey had a miserable night in his team's season debut against their biggest rival, the New York Giants. The divisional opponent held the Cowboys to zero field goal attempts, and the 31-year-old Cowboys place kicker made two of his extra points while missing one. In most fantasy football leagues, that equates […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had an ugly night in the Cowboys season opener against the New York Giants. He wasn't able to muster up 200 passing yards, and threw an interception while being held scoreless in the first half of play. New York dominated time of possession, which limited Prescott to just 34 pass […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens entered 2026 with massive expectations, but met none of them in Week 1. He was targeted six times, hauling in three passes for 26 yards. He was quiet even against one of 2025's worst NFL defenses, especially against the pass. Pickens may need some time to get going, but […]

The 2026 NFL season hasn't fully started yet -- we've had two games so far, but the first full Sunday slate of contests is yet to come. While there isn't any room on your roster after the draft if you drafted healthy players, if you drafted any that are on IR, you immediately have extra spots to […]

Kickers are a great way to add randomness to fantasy football. It helps give inexperienced players a leg up against those who may or may not spend far too much time obsessing over the game. They're not for everyone, but it can be interesting to look at another dimension of maximizing your point totals every […]

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) tore his ACL after landing on MetLife Stadium turf early last season. He missed the rest of the year and required surgery to correct the issue. Since then, he's been rehabbing his injury and working his way back onto the practice field for an eventual debut in […]

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (calf) is dealing with yet another injury before the 2026 NFL season even kicks off. Odunze struggled last season with a foot injury that caused him to miss games multiple times, and seemed to hamper his production. That injury healed without surgery, but will Odunze play in Week 1? […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy flashed serious potential last season, especially when his teammate, WR CeeDee Lamb, was out with an ankle injury. Aside from a few big games, though, he didn't produce much, as the target competition was simply too fierce. Lamb shares the field with wide receiver George Pickens, one of the […]

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is one of the best kickers in the NFL playing on one of the best offenses in the NFL. He was a top-3 ranked kicker in each of his three seasons in the NFL so far, and unless he severely drops off this season, he should remain as one of […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams is the unquestioned workhorse RB for his team. Last season, he handled a large workload, with 252 carries and 35 receptions in 16 games played. The strength of the team's offensive line and his success with breaking tackles aided him to an RB12 overall finish despite missing one game. […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was one of the best draft picks to be made in two-QB and superflex leagues with six-point passing touchdown scoring rules in 2026. He's a highly productive, accurate QB in a very well-designed offense with arguably the best array of pass-catching weapons in the NFL. Wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and […]
