RJ Harvey - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Key Starters and Tough Calls - Lineup Spotlights for Fantasy Football Include RJ Harvey, Sean Tucker, Joe Flacco, Jameson Williams, Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz

I'll be filling in this week for Scott Engel and his Week 11 Key Starters and Tough Calls article, where we focus on key players to start or sit when faced with tight lineup decisions. It's that time of year when you really have to make tough decisions with your starting lineups. Week 11 doesn't […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Sneaky Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Adds Before Week 11

It only takes one injury or one depth chart shuffling for a high-upside stash that you made to instantly become a starting-quality player in fantasy football. While there are only a handful that go on to become league-winners, many become crucial parts of winning fantasy teams. Fantasy football is a marathon, not a sprint, as […]


Trey Benson - Fantasy Football Rankings, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers,

Is Trey Benson The Starting Running Back For The Cardinals When He Returns? Week 11 Injury Update

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) took over the starting RB position for his team when the guy ahead of him, RB James Conner (ankle), dislocated his ankle in Week 3 and was placed on season-ending injured reserve shortly after. Benson's initial stint as the RB1 was short-lived, though. He picked up a knee […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

5 Juicy Fantasy Football Playoff Schedules - Matchups To Target

If you manage any fantasy football teams that have already gotten to eight wins, or are in a great position to make the fantasy football playoffs, you might start thinking about trades you can make to set yourself up for success in the fantasy postseason. Sometimes, even sure-fire must-start players have a string of difficult […]


Bucky Irving - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Bucky Irving The Starting Running Back For The Buccaneers When He Returns? Week 11 Injury Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder) won't play in Week 11. He'll now have missed six total games, and seven weeks, since suffering foot and shoulder injuries sometime around Week 4. In his absence, Tampa Bay's other RBs have stepped up. The second and third-string RBs for the Bucs are Rachaad White and […]


Chris Rodriguez Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Running Back Sleepers, RB Handcuffs

Best Week 11 RB Streamers - Fantasy Football Running Backs to Pickup and Start

Losing your starting running backs in fantasy football to injuries is one of the surest ways to see your team collapse down the stretch. Bye weeks can also be particularly painful -- this week, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara won't play. A combination of the two, or […]


Joe Mixon - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Time to Drop Joe Mixon? Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) is heading into Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season with the ankle and/or foot injury that he suffered in the offseason, that's had him placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. He's currently eligible to return, as the PUP list mandates an absence of at […]


Jordan Addison - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Landmines to Avoid for Week 11 - Trevor Lawrence, Jordan Addison, Deebo Samuel Sr., and more

It can be hard to bench starting players in NFL offenses in your fantasy football leagues, especially if you're in deeper leagues and need to start less commonly started players. For example, in 2QB leagues, you might be forced to start a quarterback that you don't like much. Such is the nature of fantasy football. […]


Harrison Butker - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Kickers

Best Week 11 Kicker Streamers - Fantasy Football Kickers to Pick Up and Start

The position that's most apt to be streamed in fantasy football is easily kicker. The talent of a kicker, in comparison with other players, is the least important factor to consider, as the weekly highest-scoring kickers is often a revolving door. The most inaccurate kickers tend to get cut pretty quickly, and we've seen them […]


Tez Johnson - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Rankings, Deeper League Sleepers

Tez Johnson, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 11

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson, Denver Broncos wideout Courtland Sutton, and his fellow Broncos WR Troy Franklin are three NFL WRs who have gotten significant playing time this season. Each of them has had their stretches of good production in recent games, but that doesn't mean each should be a locked-in starter in […]


Quentin Johnston - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Quentin Johnston, Tre Tucker, Parker Washington: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 11

It's generally easier to find startable wide receivers in fantasy football in the later rounds of the drafts or on waivers. But it's a bit harder to predict how they'll play compared to a team's starting running back, which doesn't help. Looking to their matchups, how they've played recently, how their offense is doing as […]


Isiah Pacheco - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

Is Isiah Pacheco The Starting Running Back For The Chiefs When He Returns? Week 11 Injury Update

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) suffered a knee injury late in his Week 8 contest against the Washington Commanders. He hasn't played since then -- he missed his Week 9 game, and Week 10 was the Chiefs' bye week. In his place, we've seen running backs Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith split […]


Jacory Croskey-Merritt - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Fantasy Football Drops Before Week 11 - Time To Say Goodbye?

Dropping the right players at the right time makes a ton of sense in fantasy football. If a player doesn't have a lot of upside to bring your team down the road, it makes little sense to continue wasting a bench spot on them. It's generally a better idea to look for high-upside stashes, because […]


J.J. McCarthy - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Draft Sleepers

Five Juicy Fantasy Football Playoff Stashes: Late-Season Risers to Add Now (2025)

You might not have star players who have easy playoff schedules on your roster. That can be a tough situation to deal with, but you can at least work the waiver wire and free-agent pickups, and stash players with upside and nice schedules. Fantasy football is inherently unpredictable, but by its nature, players tend to […]


Kayshon Boutte - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

When Will Kayshon Boutte Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 11 (2025)

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury that sidelined him for his team's Week 10 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's a shame, because he was right in the middle of a hot streak. He had scored four touchdown catches in his previous three games, logging 26.3, […]


Trey Benson - Fantasy Football Rankings, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers,

Is Trey Benson Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 11)

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) continues to work his way back from a knee injury that he suffered in Week 4. He earned the Cardinals starting running back job that very game, and didn't make it to the next week unscathed. He was placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 5, where he […]


Jordan Mason - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Draft Sleepers, Draft Rankings

Time to Drop Jordan Mason? Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason started off the 2025 season hot. It really looked like he was set to take over the Vikings backfield -- he was acquired from the San Francisco 49ers in a trade after an impressive season with them in relief for the injured Christian McCaffrey. Mason's game against the Cincinnati […]


RJ Harvey - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Is RJ Harvey the Starting Running Back for the Broncos Now? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 11

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey has been the backup to starting RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) all season, much to the chagrin of those who used a fourth-round pick (or similar) to draft the rookie this season. It made sense, as he was a second-round draft pick. He's taken a backseat to Dobbins all year, […]


Jaleel McLaughlin - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS and Betting Picks, NFL Injury News

Should I Pickup Tyler Badie or Jaleel McLaughlin? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) is dealing with a foot injury, and the most recent news that's come out hasn't been positive. While he's been seeking second opinions on the aliment, it appears that he's a candidate for injured reserve. This late in the season, it means we might not see him at […]


Garrett Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Time to Drop Garrett Wilson? Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) has had tough luck with injuries this season. He suffered a knee sprain in a Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos, and missed two games and three weeks total as a result. He returned to play in Week 10. Unfortunately, he suffered yet another knee sprain […]


Rhamondre Stevenson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

When Will Rhamondre Stevenson Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 11 (2025)

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missed his first game of the season in Week 10 due to a toe injury. Injuries are becoming a recurring part of his game each season, as he played 15 of a possible 17 games last year and just 12 in 2023. Stevenson has been a mercurial […]


TreVeyon Henderson - Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings, RB Draft Sleepers

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? TreVeyon Henderson, Jalen Nailor, Dillon Gabriel Fantasy Football Outlooks

Breakout performances can happen at any time in the season. Players who most fantasy managers thought were busts, or at least not quite as talented as they suspected early in the season, can put up big numbers in specific games based on a variety of factors. Injuries to other players on their team at the […]


Trey Benson - Fantasy Football Rankings, RB, NFL Draft Sleepers,

When Will Trey Benson Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 11 (2025)

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has now been out of action for five games and six total weeks due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 4. He had been set to take over the lead running back role after the injury to RB James Conner (ankle). Benson's injury placed him on […]


Bucky Irving - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

When Will Bucky Irving Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 11 (2025)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) has now been out for most of the season with injuries to his shoulder and foot. He was able to play in four contests and scored an average of 18.0 PPR fantasy points per game. So he's dearly missed by all fantasy managers who drafted him. […]


Omarion Hampton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie RB Draft Sleepers

When Will Omarion Hampton Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 11 (2025)

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) didn't play in Week 10. It's now the fifth consecutive game he's missed due to the ankle injury he suffered in Week 5. Hampton's rookie season came to a grinding (temporary) halt when a defender awkwardly stepped on the back of his ankle, and it twisted inwards […]


Devin Singletary - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - Brian Robinson Jr., Devin Singletary, Bhayshul Tuten Fantasy Football Outlooks

There are still quite a few running backs floating around on waivers in around 50 percent (or more) of leagues that you should probably consider picking up for your teams ahead of Week 11. The prospect of getting a good RB without having to trade for one is quite enticing. Lots of fantasy teams are […]


Tyjae Spears - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - Tyjae Spears, Tyler Allgeier, Emari Demercado Fantasy Football Outlooks

The running back position is one marked by scarcity in the NFL. It's hard to find starting running backs that are must-starts in your fantasy football leagues, especially as the season wears on. We've already seen the New York Giants backfield go from a gold mine to a landfill. When running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) was their […]


Tez Johnson - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Rankings, Deeper League Sleepers

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - Troy Franklin, Tez Johnson, Parker Washington Fantasy Football Outlooks

We're almost through 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Yet it's never too late to hunt the waiver wire for pickups that could help you win your leagues, give you a solid starter for the rest of the season, or even help you win a matchup or two down the road in fantasy football. […]


Khalil Shakir - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Khalil Shakir, Jordan Addison, Deebo Samuel Sr.: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 10

It would be nice to have a trio of wide receivers like CeeDee Lamb, Rashee Rice, and Tee Higgins on your fantasy football teams. That way you'd hardly have to worry about who to start and just roll the three out each week. Well... until bye weeks come! Those three are all on bye and […]


DK Metcalf - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injuries

DK Metcalf, Marvin Harrison Jr., Josh Downs: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 10

We're about to start Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season -- well, the main slate of games at least. Thursday's game already happened, and it was an abysmal low-scoring affair between the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders. Hopefully you didn't start any pass-catcher other than Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin in that […]
