Champ or Chump? Fantasy Outlooks for Wan'Dale Robinson, Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte
New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson, San Francisco 49ers wideout Kendrick Bourne, and New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte are all players that are considered to be right around the WR2/WR3 range in fantasy football this week.

Jerry Jeudy, Rashid Shaheed, Marquise Brown: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy, New Orleans Saints wideout Rashid Shaheed, and Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown have all had pretty solid games this season and are worth starting consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 7. That's actually a lie. Well, part of it is. Shaheed and Brown have had good games, but […]

Kenneth Walker, Alvin Kamara, Breece Hall: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III, New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle), and New York Jets running back Breece Hall have all seen better days of production earlier in their careers. This season, for whatever reasons, all three are performing at levels well below how they did in their rookie campaigns. At least […]

Kendrick Bourne, Romeo Doubs, Jordan Addison: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7
In recent weeks, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison, Green Bay Packers wideout Romeo Doubs, and San Francisco 49ers WR Kendrick Bourne have all had great games in their own right. All three have been far from consistent in this area, though -- dating back to last season, they all have plenty of single-digit PPR […]

Champ or Chump? Fantasy Outlooks for D'Andre Swift, Cam Skattebo, Bam Knight
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift, New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo, and Arizona Cardinals tailback Bam Knight will all be the starting RBs for their team's this Sunday. Swift has been the starter all season, so that's not much of a surprise, and Skattebo had a huge game in Week 6, so it's expected […]

Champ or Chump? Fantasy Outlooks for Tez Johnson, Kameron Johnson, Matthew Golden
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a pair of wide receivers a bit deeper on the depth chart than you'd expect to support fantasy relevance, Tez Johnson and Kameron Johnson, that many fantasy managers are considering starting as fill-ins for injured players and those on bye. Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden is a bit […]

Xavier Worthy, Jakobi Meyers, Jauan Jennings: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7
It's fortunate that the wide receiver position typically has more players who are likely to have boom games on benches than happens for running backs. Teams often have four or five receivers who have stretches of startable fantasy production. Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy, San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle, shoulder), and […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will face off against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football, and early start and sit decisions need to be made for fantasy managers.

Time to Drop Bhayshul Tuten? Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten was a fourth-round selection by his team in the 2025 NFL Draft, but through six games, he hasn't done much yet. He's the RB44 overall, having rushed 27 times for 108 yards and a touchdown and caught six of his eight targets for 59 yards and another score. But […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups - Bhayshul Tuten, Brian Robinson Jr., Jaydon Blue Fantasy Football Outlooks
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten, San Francisco 49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr., and Dallas Cowboys tailback Jaydon Blue appear to be three lottery-ticket waiver adds ahead of Week 7 of 2025. With all teams' starting running backs heavily rostered, it's worthwhile to look at the backup backs of as many teams as possible to […]

Time to Drop Elic Ayomanor? Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)
Heading into the 2025 NFL season, there was a solid amount of hype for the Tennessee Titans' new-look offense. They used the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to select quarterback Cam Ward, and later chose wide receiver Elic Ayomanor. From the beginning, Ayomanor has played a prominent role in the offense. […]

Should I Pickup Kenneth Gainwell or Bhayshul Tuten? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten are both serving in backup RB roles to this point in the 2025 NFL season. While both have had games of double-digit PPR fantasy points, they've mostly been irrelevant from a fantasy perspective this season. But an NFL year is a marathon, […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7 (2025)
Each week of NFL action feels like a roller coaster as a fantasy football manager. Players breaking out, seemingly breaking out but really just having fluky games, falling off a cliff to irrelevancy, or just having down weeks can be hard to keep up with. Digging into the context of each situation can be helpful, […]

Should I Pickup Tyler Allgeier or Kendre Miller? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7
The waiver period for most fantasy leagues has passed, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't still try to add free agent pickups or make waiver claims if needed for certain players ahead of Week 7. Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier and New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller are two backup running backs with reasonable […]

Time to Drop Tyrone Tracy Jr.? Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. hasn't had a great start to his 2025 season. It appears that his days as the team's RB1 are over, though they lasted less than one full season. New York drafted running back Cam Skattebo with a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and through six […]

Time to Drop Travis Hunter? Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter hasn't gotten off to a hot start to his career. While he's made a few nice catches and shown flashes of elite play, he's overall been very disappointing. Flashes of production aren't what fantasy managers who drafted him inside the first seven rounds want from a player who was […]

Time to Drop Jauan Jennings? Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle, ankle, shoulder) is, as you can already tell, dealing with a multitude of serious injuries early in his 2025 campaign. Last week, they seemed to affect him pretty severely -- he was targeted just three times, catching one pass for seven yards and totaling 1.7 PPR […]

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Kimani Vidal, Cam Skattebo, DeMario Douglas Fantasy Football Outlooks
Three NFL players had by far their best fantasy football performances of the season in Week 6 -- Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal, New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo, and New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas. All three of these players were generally selected in the very late rounds or went undrafted […]

Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season is now in the books, and it's long been a good strategy to try to lean into the unknown to try to get an edge. First-year NFL players are very commonly big question marks early on in their careers -- especially the ones you can sometimes find on […]

Kimani Vidal, Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6
The Los Angeles Chargers are likely to use running back Kimani Vidal more in the upcoming weeks, considering that both of their top running backs, Najee Harris (Achilles) and Omarion Hampton (ankle), are on injured reserve. It's not exactly clear how much usage he'll get, though. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks have a pair of running […]

Elic Ayomanor, Zay Flowers, DK Metcalf: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6
Inconsistency at the wide receiver position often makes it difficult to know when to start certain players on your rosters. While Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has scored double-digit PPR points in all his contests, Titans WR Elic Ayomanor and Ravens wideout Zay Flowers have not. Flowers and Ayomanor both have games with under […]

Kendrick Bourne, Xavier Worthy, Tre Tucker: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle/shoulder), and Las Vegas Raiders wideout Tre Tucker are three players that many people might be considering starting in their flex spots or in deeper leagues.

Keenan Allen, Jameson Williams, Michael Pittman: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6
You have to think that at some point in writing start/sit articles for receivers your typical sports writer would run out of things to say in the intro. That might be true, but today is not that day. Because if you have Keenan Allen, Jameson Williams, or Michael Pittman Jr., you're probably considering starting them. […]

Time to Drop Juwan Johnson? Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson was a waiver wire steal, and one of the best tight ends to start in fantasy football, for all of about three weeks. In Week 4, he had just 5.8 PPR fantasy points. He followed that up with just 3.7 points in Week 5 against the New York […]

Time to Drop Troy Franklin? Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has not appeared to take over the WR2 job through five games of 2025. Though he had an excellent 24.0 PPR fantasy point performance in Week 2, he hasn't scored double-digit points in any of his other games. In that contest, he scored his only touchdown of the season and had […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - Ryan Flournoy, Isaiah Bond, Xavier Hutchinson Fantasy Football Outlooks
Even after waivers have cleared in many leagues, there are a handful of players that many fantasy managers haven't claimed yet that might be worth picking up. The latest examples are Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter and Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle. Both were free-agent pickups in many leagues. And though they got their […]

A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6
The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the New York Giants in Week 6 on Thursday Night Football.

Brown and DeVonta Smith and […]

5 Fantasy Football Bold Predictions - John Johnson's Week 6 Picks (2025)
Making bold predictions is always fun as a fantasy writer. When you get them right, you get to look like a genius, and when you're wrong, you look pretty uninformed! That said, sometimes bold predictions aren't all that bold. Predicting elite players to have great games against bad defenses is mostly the opposite of bold. […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - Hassan Haskins, Isaiah Davis, Ollie Gordon Fantasy Football Outlooks
Trying to get ahead of the game and find the next backup running back that's in line to get more work out of the backfield, or potentially take over duties in place of an injured starter, is never an easy task. But we've seen recent examples, like those of Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - Tyquan Thornton, Brashard Smith, Kareem Hunt Fantasy Football Outlooks
The Kansas City Chiefs have mostly been a frustrating team to have fantasy players rostered from. In the absence of the team's top wide receiver, Rashee Rice, the other players have mostly been highly inconsistent. While some have had big games at times, like wide receiver Hollywood Brown in Week 1, and tight end Travis […]
