Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman (ankle) enjoyed a solid period of not even a full game in the limelight as the Broncos' lead running back until an injury forced him out of the game and back onto the sidelines. In that game (Week 2), the Broncos RB room suffered multiple injuries among the players. […]

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) is dearly missed and sorely needed by his new team -- last week's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars resulted in an abject blowout loss. Brown's presence may not have changed the outcome, but it would have likely given the offense more juice. The Patriots now have two […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) was one of the most highly drafted wide receivers in fantasy football this offseason. After finishing as the overall WR1 in PPR fantasy football leagues in 2026, despite missing one game, he was seen as a must-draft first-round pick. He hasn't seen the field since Week 1 […]

Week 3 was an interesting week of football from a fantasy perspective, at least. We didn't see any massive breakouts for low-rostered players, but we did see quite a few names that could pique the interest of a dialed-in fantasy manager to pick up before waivers clear ahead of Week 4. Established WRs getting injured […]

Two players you want to tend to hunt for on waivers are players who are injured and coming off injured reserve at some point in the near future and players who look like they're on the verge of a breakout. One of those two situations applies to New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), Miami […]

Life comes at everyone too fast. This is especially true for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara. Just a few short years ago, he was one of the most coveted running backs in the NFL for fantasy football and was regularly winning fantasy leagues with his combination of rushing and receiving upside. Now, he's […]

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had a monster game in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Though his team eventually lost the game, he was heavily involved in the offense, catching all eight of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. It likely came as a surprise to fantasy managers. Johnson wasn't […]

While it's extremely difficult to get good production out of a backup running back when the starter ahead of them on the roster is healthy and active, the only guarantee in the NFL is that all players will deal with some kind of injury at some point. Even players that are rarely listed on their […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (hip) is no stranger to dealing with injuries because he misses time nearly every season with some ailment or other. In previous seasons, it's been the hamstrings that have failed him time and time again. He's battled his way back on the field each time, but his availability […]

Sometimes, it's best to bite the bullet and cut bait with underperforming players in fantasy football. Being tempted to put them in your starting lineup, even for upcoming matchups that may look easy on paper, can put you in a hole and make it difficult to win your fantasy games in your leagues. The worst […]

Even in 10-team leagues, where the talented players aren't spread so thinly across rosters, it's worth your while to peruse the waiver wire in search of players you can put in your starting lineups to replace injured or underperforming players. In one of these leagues, there might be a chance that Las Vegas Raiders wide […]

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) played in just one game in 2026 before suffering a high ankle sprain and being pulled from the contest. He was quickly placed on injured reserve, meaning he'll be required to miss at least four games. Ankle injuries like this don't always have a four-week return timeline, […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is one of the few running backs in the NFL that has a consistent, and very large, role in a good offense in the NFL. Players like him are extremely valuable in fantasy football leagues. The RB position is extremely scarce in leagues with standard rosters, and it's […]

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate entered the league with expectations that he would be a solid fantasy football scorer. He was drafted between the sixth and ninth rounds in many fantasy football leagues as a result. He had an excellent final season in college and showed an excellent ability to slam on the brakes […]

Rookies are the subject of plenty of intrigue in fantasy football, and with good reason. Everyone's chasing the first-year breakout seasons of players like wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin), WR Ja'Marr Chase, and RB Ezekiel Elliott, all of whom were legitimate league-winners in their inaugural NFL seasons. They are, of course, outliers. But in fantasy […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) hasn't played in his team's first two contests of his inaugural season in the NFL. It's been a disappointing development, because he was one of the most coveted pass-catching prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tyson was renowned for his route-running and separation abilities. His capacity to […]

Another week, another update in the latest legal saga of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs. After allegedly assaulting his girlfriend and causing an injury to her head, Jacobs was placed on the NFL Commissioner's Exempt List. It's possible that Goodell wants to "atone for the sins" of the NFL's past mishandlings of domestic […]

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) didn't make it through a single game with his new team in 2026 before picking up an ankle injury and being ruled out for the rest of the contest. He wasn't able to play in Week 2, either. It's an unfortunate start to what should have been […]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (neck) suffered a scary injury in Week 2 against the New York Jets. A defender attempted to tackle him and his shoulder pad collided with the front of Reed's helmet, causing a massive blow that appeared to knock Reed out cold. The Packers medical staff then situated him […]

The 2026 NFL Draft might be best remembered for having tons of teams inexplicably reaching for tight ends that didn't end up having good careers. It's possible the Philadelphia Eagles were one team to do this when they drafted Syracuse tight end Eli Stowers (quad). Stowers didn't have a great training camp. Despite being drafted […]

There's nothing that gets a fantasy football analyst burned like looking back at his old bold predictions articles and calling out all of his misses. But bold predictions are fun to ponder, which is why they continue to draw interest every season. There are no shortages of surprising performances every week in the NFL. And […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk hasn't played a snap of professional football since Week 7 of the 2024 season, when he suffered a torn ACL and other ligament damage on a hit against the Kansas City Chiefs defense. Since then, he's been one of the more interesting players in the NFL to follow, […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been one of the most disappointing wide receivers in fantasy football through two weeks of the season. He put up a goose egg in Week 1 with zero PPR fantasy points, and followed that up with just two catches for 21 yards on five targets in Week 2. […]

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold (glute) didn't get to play much football in Week 1 before a glute injury forced him out of the contest. He wasn't able to suit up for his team in Week 2, either. In his place, backup QB Drew Lock had a great Week 2 performance, throwing for 235 yards […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) is set to miss significant time due to a deltoid ankle injury he suffered in Week 1. It was an injury to an already injured ankle, meaning it would have been wiser for the 49ers to just hold him out of the contest. They're not known for […]

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hip) is currently dealing with a hip injury. Any time a player is listed on his team's injury report with any type of ailment, there's a chance they could miss time. Dobbins is no stranger to injuries -- he's had some of the most devastating, high-profile running back injuries […]

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (core) has had absolutely horrible luck to this point in his NFL career. He entered the NFL after tearing his ACL in his final college football season as a second-round draft pick. Then, in 2024, after returning in Week 12 to start his NFL career, he tore his ACL […]

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) got off to an explosive start in Week 1, catching four of his five targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Washington Commanders. In Week 2, things weren't so pretty. He only managed to catch one of his three targets for four yards, […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) played just one game for his new team before suffering a foot injury and being held out of Week 2. Pittman had an excellent season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2025, especially before their starting quarterback, Daniel Jones, went down. He could potentially be a high-upside player […]

Indeed, we often see even some of the best players in the NFL have entire seasons in which they don't produce well. For example, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had an abysmal 2025 season, at least by his standards. Trying to trade for him that year wouldn't have resulted in you winning your fantasy […]
