Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) hasn't played very well this season. Even when he's been on the field, he's not looked like the generational RB talent he seemed to be in college. Things aren't always as simple as they seem, and this isn't meant to bash Love's performance or effort, but he's averaged […]

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) has been the clear lead RB for the Washington Commanders this season. He retained his job as the starter after a rocky first season that saw him perform very well at times and, at others, struggle.  This season, his efficiency has taken a huge hit. After logging 4.6 […]

While older veterans like Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) might seem like savvy picks in the middle rounds of fantasy football drafts, father time is undefeated. Adams has been healthy for most of his career, but unfortunately, he tore his hamstring off the bone while running a route in Week 6. He'll […]

Sometimes, fantasy football seems very simple. A team has a clear starting running back, and the RB2 is seen as their direct handcuff. That RB2 seemingly has good upside, as they perform well in limited action and look like a suitable replacement in case of an injury to the starter. But then we see the […]

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.'s run as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL for fantasy football seems like it's drawing to a close with his current team. He has been less and less involved in his team's passing offense over time, despite apparently being healthy this season. The former first-round […]

The Arizona Cardinals were without their starting running back, Jeremiyah Love (ankle), due to an aggravation of the high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL preseason. In his place, running backs Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight, the second and third-string RBs on the depth chart, stepped up and handled the bulk […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) missed his third game in a row with a quad injury after falling hard on his thigh while being tackled out of bounds in Week 3. He hasn't been able to play since then. In his absence, Jets RB Braelon Allen has led the backfield, garnering 25 […]

It would be nice if every season were like the 2024 NFL season, when we thought the future of wide receiver production in the NFL was bright. WRs Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Ladd McConkey (concussion) were all going off. It also appeared that WRs Xavier Worthy and Ricky Pearsall had bright futures. Rather […]

Injuries to starting running backs often pave the way for their backups to be successful in fantasy football for some stretch of time. The Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, and Arizona Cardinals are all dealing with their RB1s having various ailments right now. It's not guaranteed that the backup will give you good production in the […]

We're through six full weeks of NFL action in the 2026 season. By now, we typically expect to see the beginnings of breakout seasons for several young wide receivers. Yet others may be hitting their strides on new teams, and others still have offenses that need to gel first before they become fantasy relevant. Whatever […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (deep vein thrombosis) is set to miss significant time due to blood clots deep in his lungs that were discovered during medical scans. Technically, he played through these in Week 5. Eagles medical staff knew he had a blood clot in his calf, but cleared him to play anyway. Later, […]

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) sat out yet another game in Week 6 due to a shoulder injury that's been bothering him since very early in the season. The new Bills WR1 hasn't been able to play much in his new offense yet. Moore seemed to have excellent upside in this offense, with […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was expected to be worth a second-round pick in fantasy football redraft leagues for the 2026 NFL season. The rookie tailback was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He's been anything but a high-end fantasy talent, though. In fact, he's been one of the […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) entered the season as a potential breakout candidate for fantasy football. He was seen as the clear No. 1 workhorse running back for his team. He had to recover from a serious ankle injury that prematurely ended his 2025 season, though. And that came late in the year, […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) is dealing with a painful turf toe injury that's sidelined him for two games now.  He visited a medical specialist who advised him to use a walking boot to protect the injured toe. He hasn't practiced at all since he suffered the ailment. Monangai looked like he was […]

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) remains on injured reserve after suffering a massive ankle injury early last season. The 31-year-old RB remained an elusive and powerful back late into his career, and likely missed the rest of his late prime due to the unfortunate ailment. But he remains under contract for the Cardinals, […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) broke out as arguably the best deep-threat wide receiver in the NFL last season. Among WRs with 40 or more receptions, he led the league in yards per catch (21.3) and eclipsed 1,000 yards, scoring six touchdowns in just 15 games. This season, he was expected to be […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) has had an extremely disappointing campaign for the 2026 NFL season so far. Even if you set aside his injury, he's been nowhere near his 2024 self for fantasy football. Now, he's dealing with a hamstring issue. When will Barkley return to play? Can he get back to […]

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) hasn't played in NFL action since Week 2. He's currently dealing with a finger injury. It's not known whether he suffered a fracture, dislocation, or other ailment, but it's been enough to hold him out for four weeks. When will the Jets WR2 be able to return […]

As we transition from the start of the 2026 NFL season to midseason, the waiver wire has been heating up with more interesting names. There are enough players that appear to have serious upside that it's difficult to decide which deserve space on your fantasy football benches. And there are even players that should be […]

Quarterback is the highest-scoring position in fantasy football, yet it's also not terribly difficult to have success streaming the position. It's very difficult to predict which quarterbacks will finish top-10 at their position ahead of time due to a variety of factors. Looking at strength of schedule is a great way to find good QBs […]

Dynasty fantasy football managers who have bad teams this season or have traded heavily for picks in the 2027 NFL Draft are understandably excited for this upcoming year's class of rookies. The 2027 NFL Draft will see a huge influx of talent at multiple positions on offense -- it's absolutely loaded at wide receiver, quarterback, […]

Streaming tight ends in fantasy football occasionally lands you gems that you can start for the rest of the season. More often, though, it's necessary. It's tough to predict TE performance before the season. Even highly drafted options like Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland have been extremely disappointing this season. He broke out last […]

The Washington Commanders are dealing with numerous injuries at the running back position ahead of Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season. Most notably, their starting running back is dealing with health issues. RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) suffered a groin injury sometime in the past week, wasn't able to practice at all ahead of Week […]

Yours truly is back again for more -- as in more bold predictions that are bold enough that most of them could reasonably be used to clown on the author quickly after the games in which these players are involved finish. But even if only a few -- or none -- of them end up […]

The Cleveland Browns haven't had much of a run game this season, unfortunately. Their lead running back, Quinshon Judkins (ankle), suffered a season-ending ankle injury late last season, and was able to return to action for Week 1. But he's been anything but efficient. Last season, playing in one of the worst offenses in the […]

You should always be trying to buy star players that are in the midst of poor stretches of performance in fantasy football. It's fine to have a healthy dose of skepticism about them meeting their full potential this season, but it's not always their fault when they're not scoring a lot. There are numerous things […]

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) suffered a massive ankle injury in Week 3 of 2025 that saw him carted off the field, unable to walk under his own power. He was later placed on season-ending injured reserve. It seemed like it could be the end of his career, as he's now 31 years […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) finished as the RB10 overall in PPR fantasy football leagues last season. He rushed 260 times for 1,107 yards and seven touchdowns and caught 36 passes for 292 yards and six touchdowns. He also only fumbled one time. He seemed to have everything you want in […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) had surgery on one of his ankles in the offseason after he picked up an injury that he attempted to rehab. The ailment didn't heal on its own, leading to the operation. He missed much of the offseason program and was limited in practice until very late in […]
