Dalton Kincaid - Fantasy Football, Tight End, Draft, Rankings, DFS

When Is Dalton Kincaid Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 13 (2025)

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has now missed two consecutive games with a hamstring injury. It's been an unfortunate interruption to what looked a breakout third-year campaign. In eight contests, he caught 29 of his 36 targets for 448 yards and four touchdowns, logging games with 14.8, 17.6, 16.8, and 22.1 PPR fantasy […]


Drake London - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

When Is Drake London Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 13 (2025)

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has now missed two total games this season. He wasn't able to play in Week 8 due to a surprise hip injury at practice. This time, he suffered a knee injury in Week 11, and wasn't able to suit up in Week 12. The Falcons dealt with another […]


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

When Is Trey Benson Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 13 (2025)

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) hopefully can return soon, so fantasy football managers can stop worrying about what his role will be when he comes back and when he'll actually take the field again. Dealing with having him on your roster has been a frustrating experience. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon isn't one […]


Marvin Harrison Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, WR, Waiver Wire, NFL DFS, Rookies

When Is Marvin Harrison Jr. Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 13 (2025)

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendicitis) has now missed two consecutive games after having an emergency appendectomy. His ailment came seemingly out of nowhere, as tends to happen with appendicitis. What's more pressing is how long it will take for him to return, as his surgery was successful. The Cardinals offense seems to […]


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

7 Fantasy Football League-Winners: Breakout Candidates for the Home Stretch

Not all league-winners start the season strong. We've seen a ton of players over the years have slow or sometimes just awful starts to their seasons, only to turn things around and finish extremely strong. Sometimes they finish so strong that they win leagues. For example, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) was […]


Kareem Hunt - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups - Kareem Hunt, Trey Benson, Sean Tucker Fantasy Football Outlooks

This time of year, it's incredibly difficult to find value at the running back position on the waiver wire. It's a scarce position to begin with. Most of the top-scoring running backs in fantasy football were drafted in the first two rounds. And most of them have been healthy all year, leaving little opportunity for […]


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

Should I Pickup Trey Benson or Bam Knight? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (ankle) still hasn't played in a game since injuring his knee back in Week 4. The starting RB for the Cardinals, in the meantime, has been Bam Knight. It's still unclear when Benson will return. Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon has been frustratingly insistent on not giving out information […]


Tryone Tracy Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Landmines to Avoid for Week 12 - Trevor Lawrence, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Jerry Jeudy, and more

There are players that are rostered in a majority of fantasy football leagues that you simply don't want to start some weeks, even if they're their team's starter at the position. Not every player can consistently put up high-end production. There are a few players who can maintain start-worthy stat lines every week -- it's […]


Michael Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, NFL DFS Picks

Michael Wilson, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darnell Mooney: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 12

You probably had an opportunity to grab Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson, New York Giants slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, or Atlanta Falcons wideout Darnell Mooney at some point off the waiver wire this season. While it probably felt good to add them after a blow-up week or a potential big game upcoming due to […]


Omarion Hampton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie RB Draft Sleepers

Is Omarion Hampton Still The Starter When He Returns?

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) is still dealing with a high-ankle sprain, and possibly other damage to his ankle, from an injury he suffered in Week 5. Hampton was running a route to the flat when his ankle was rolled up on by a defender. He immediately went down, was later ruled […]


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

Is Bucky Irving Still The Starter When He Returns?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) continues to work his way back from foot and shoulder injuries that he suffered in his Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's been a very long and frustrating road for fantasy managers who drafted him. He mostly went in the second and third round, […]


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

Is Trey Benson Still The Starter When He Returns?

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) finally returned to practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 12. He's missed every game since Week 4 due to the injury he suffered in that game. We've seen a healthy dose of three running backs in Benson's absence -- Bam Knight, Michael Carter, and Emari Demercado (ankle), to […]


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

Is Rhamondre Stevenson Still The Starter When He Returns?

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) returned to practice for his team on Wednesday after missing two games due to a toe injury. He likely didn't play last week because the Patriots were playing on Thursday, but it's possible he could have played if it were a Sunday game. This means Stevenson's return […]


Andrei Iosivas - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Should I Pickup Andrei Iosivas or Noah Fant? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

The Cincinnati Bengals will be without their top wide receiver, Ja'Marr Chase, due to a spitting incident that cause the NFL to suspend him for one game. Chase's suspension was upheld after an appeal. So he's absolutely not playing in Week 12 for the Bengals. It will be WR Tee Higgins that will assume the […]


Omarion Hampton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie RB Draft Sleepers

Is Omarion Hampton Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 12)

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) hasn't played a down in the NFL since Week 5, when he picked up an ankle injury. His absence has now stretched to six games. The Chargers are on bye this week, meaning when Week 13 comes, he'll have had seven weeks to rest up. But not […]


Jaxson Dart - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie QB Sleepers

When Is Jaxson Dart Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 12 (2025)

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) was injured in his team's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Giants were fully in control of the game before he got hurt. Of course, after QB Russell Wilson took over, they immediately completely collapsed, doing absolutely nothing on offense and handing the Bears a free […]


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

When Is Trey Benson Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 12 (2025)

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) is still working his way back from a knee injury he suffered in Week 4. It's been a long road for Benson after taking over the starting job from RB James Conner (ankle), who's out for the season. Benson had less than one full game as the RB1 […]


Sam LaPorta - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

When Is Sam LaPorta Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 12 (2025)

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) wasn't able to play in Week 11 for the Lions. It was the first game he missed due to injury this year. He's historically been a durable player -- he missed just one game in 2024 and played all 17 contests in his rookie season, despite dealing with […]


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

When Is Bucky Irving Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 12 (2025)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) hasn't played a single NFL snap since Week 4. He's been dealing with shoulder and foot injuries in that time. RBs Sean Tucker and Rachaad White have filled in for him in the meantime. They've had some good production mixed in with middling results -- in […]


Isiah Pacheco - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

When Is Isiah Pacheco Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 12 (2025)

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) sprained his MCL near the end of his Week 8 contest against the Washington Commanders. Since then, a Week 9 game, a bye week, and a Week 11 contest have passed without his return. Pacheco is the RB1 on the team's depth chart, and they've struggled in […]


When Is Marvin Harrison Jr. Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 12 (2025)

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendicitis) missed his first game of the 2025 NFL season in a surprising turn of events due to appendicitis. Harrison looked to be having a career resurgence after a disappointing start to his NFL journey thanks to quarterback Jacoby Brissett outperforming QB Kyler Murray (foot). But his production […]


Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Michael Wilson, Bryce Young, Tyrell Shavers Fantasy Football Outlooks

Week 11 of NFL action was full of surprises for fantasy football, just like most weeks in the NFL. In particular, the performances of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, and Buffalo Bills wideout Tyrell Shavers were much bigger than expected. Wilson was his team's WR2 for most of the […]


Darnell Mooney - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Should I Pickup Darnell Mooney or David Sills V? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

The Atlanta Falcons lost both their starting quarterback and top wide receiver in Week 11 due to injuries. QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL, and WR Drake London (knee) sprained his PCL and will miss time. London won't play in Week 12, and from […]


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

Should I Pickup Trey Benson or Bam Knight? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

The Arizona Cardinals have been without their top-2 running backs, James Conner (ankle) and Trey Benson (knee) for much of the season. Neither of them have played since Week 4, with Conner suffering a season-ending ankle injury in Week 3 and Benson hurting his knee the week after. Benson hasn't played in a game since […]


Kenneth Gainwell - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Sleepers

Should I Pickup Kenneth Gainwell or Kaleb Johnson? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ankle) has been the team's starter at his position the whole season now. But he suffered an ankle injury in Week 11 and was pulled from the game. He didn't return after that. In his place, RBs Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson (a rookie) handled the backfield workload. Gainwell […]


Tyler Allgeier - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - Bam Knight, Kyle Monangai, Tyler Allgeier Fantasy Football Outlooks

We're through 11 weeks of NFL action in 2025, and the running back position remains one where it's difficult to find value. This happens every season, of course -- many RBs that were thought to be set up for good seasons have underperformed, and yet others have been injured. If you had New York Giants […]


Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - Troy Franklin, Michael Wilson, Andrei Iosivas Fantasy Football Outlooks

We're through 11 weeks of NFL football in 2025, but it's never too late to hunt the waiver wire for pickups that could legitimately save your fantasy teams. Three wide receivers -- Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin, Arizona Cardinals wideout Michael Wilson, and Cincinnati Bengals receiver Andrei Iosivas -- are interesting names to look into […]


Parker Washington - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - Parker Washington, Christian Watson, Darnell Mooney Fantasy Football Outlooks

It's generally more forgiving in fantasy football to whiff on your wide receiver picks in the draft, because you can find more value on the waiver wire. Not every week is a good week for free-agent receivers that aren't rostered in your fantasy leagues, but there are often wideouts that prove they deserve to be […]


Bhayshul Tuten - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - Devin Singletary, Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr. Fantasy Football Outlooks

The running back position is one of major scarcity in fantasy football. Even though it's so tough to find startable running backs after the draft, though, things do change over the course of the season. We often see players take bigger shares of their backfield work or simply take over starting jobs in their backfields, […]


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 […]
