Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest) was a massive fantasy football darling in dynasty and even redraft circles after he was selected by the reigning Super Bowl champions late in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Price wasn't the starting RB for his team in college -- that was now-Arizona Cardinals RB […]

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) was the subject of much hype in the offseason as a potential breakout star at TE for the Rams. He put some encouraging things on film in his rookie season in 2025, and his athleticism was of particular note. He's a fantastic deep threat, especially as a […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason looked to be starting the season in a big role for the Minnesota Vikings when he had 15 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. But his hot start was quickly cut short as he suffered a thumb injury in the contest. He hasn't played in […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) was the first pick of the second round in the 2026 NFL Draft. 49ers general manager John Lynch selected him in a move that was widely considered another one of his reaches. We haven't been able to see whether he was worth his draft position initially, however, […]

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) has now missed the past three games with an injury he picked up after Week 2. He got off to a solid start to the season, with 123 receiving yards through his first three games, but hasn't been able to add to that total since. Mitchell was […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (toe) had a promising rookie season in which he looked, at times, like he was set to take on a bigger role in his team's backfield. He was far from consistent, though. Rookie players having such promising seasons as him tend to carve out larger roles for themselves in […]

Typically, the waiver wire is barren for running backs. It's tough to find startable talent in fantasy football on the waiver wire at this position, and genuine league-winning players are a dime a dozen. The last major waiver wire hero running back was Los Angeles Rams tailback Kyren Williams in 2023. This week feels different. […]

Being in a position where you need to look to the waiver wire to get running back production is often a kiss of death in fantasy football. But there are times when it can literally save your season. If you have a solid team and just need an RB with a decent amount of volume […]

Some NFL seasons are exciting for rookie production in fantasy football, like back in 2024, when multiple first-year wideouts had excellent seasons and became must-starts across all formats of fantasy football. This season isn't one of them, at least not yet. It does often take first-year pros time to break out, even if they were […]

Wide receivers becoming fantasy relevant seemingly out of nowhere, or after not having any history of consistently high NFL production, is nothing new. Just last season, we saw this situation with Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington. Before his team's Week 8 bye last season, he averaged a mere 7.2 PPR fantasy points per game. […]

Nothing's more fun than constantly hunting the waiver wire for players to pick up at positions of need and not having a single one of them provide any kind of consistent upside. That was a sarcastic statement of course -- it's miserable as a fantasy football manager to have hope that's constantly dashed. Wide receiver […]

The Washington Commanders will get their starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels (elbow) back for their Week 5 game against the rival New York Giants. Whether that's a good thing for their offense remains to be seen. He hasn't been able to replicate his rookie season magic yet. And his elbow is not back to 100 percent […]

The New Orleans Saints signed running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) to a four-year, $48 million dollar contract this offseason. It seemed that the plan was to have him serve as the team's lead back and handle a large volume while the aging Alvin Kamara (back) handled minimal duties as a backup. Things have turned […]

Bold predictions aren't necessarily the most realistic fantasy football takes to delve into, but that doesn't make them any less entertaining. Finding good matchups that lead to spike weeks or down weeks for key players can help with start-sit decisions in many leagues. Having multiple good players that you think are worth starting and not […]

Fantasy football is all about drafting the best players and winning games. That's easy, right? Well, as long as you draft the handful of elite players that are available where you pick, they stay healthy all season, you have an easy schedule, and your players crush it for you in the fantasy playoffs, everything is […]

There are typically only a small handful of elite players who don't have extended stretches of mediocre or poor games and simply dominate all season. Those seasons become legendary in fantasy football lore, such as the 2019 season of San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. In his third year with the team that drafted […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (thumb) was expected to have an expanded role in his team's offense this season. Coming into the year, the Vikings used a late-round pick on a rookie running back, but didn't sign any big free-agent names. Mason's main competition for touches was set to be veteran RB Aaron Jones, […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson had a huge day in Week 4. Though he's been a career backup, with the Green Bay Packers for a few years and this year with his new team, he was the fifth-highest-scoring running back in fantasy football after his huge game. 27.0 PPR fantasy points is nothing to […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee), a key contributor for his team during their 2025 Super Bowl run, tore his ACL in the playoffs last season and required season-ending surgery to correct the issue. He remained heavily involved on offense last season, sharing the backfield with RB Kenneth Walker III. Walker is now dominating […]

Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman (ankle) carried the ball 10 times for 48 yards, scored a rushing touchdown, and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in the only game he played significant action in this season, Week 2. Unfortunately, he injured his ankle in that game and was subsequently placed on […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) suffered a major ankle injury in his team's Week 1 contest with the Los Angeles Rams. His young career got off to a miserable start, unfortunately, as he didn't log a single reception before going down with the ailment. The rookie was considered a major reach by […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest) was a first-round draft pick who was selected to play on a good offense on a well-coached team. Things were looking up for the rookie, who showed flashes on film in limited action in his first two games as a pro. But injuries are inevitable in the NFL, […]

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) was set to be a dominant target-earner and clear No. 1 receiver for his new team after signing a huge contract with them in the offseason. But the endless injury carousel had other plans. Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain when he was tackled by a defender while […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) was a big question mark heading into the 2026 season. And it wasn't due to his performance in 2025. He led the league in yards per reception in 2025 among qualifying receivers, with over 21.3 yards per reception. His stat line of 47 catches for 1,003 yards and […]

The Buffalo Bills traded their second round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears in exchange for wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) and a fifth round pick in this past offseason. In Week 1, Moore immediately broke out with five catches on eight targets for 100 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, he […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) wasn't able to play in his team's upset Week 4 win over the Detroit Lions. In his absence, we saw second-year pro and first-round draft pick WR Tetairoa McMillan have a dominant game, catching 14 of 16 targets for 192 yards and two touchdowns. McMillan fumbled once, but […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) wasn't very involved in the Saints' offense in his first few games with his new team. It was a strange development, considering they opened the vaults to sign him to a four-year, $48 million contract to join the team. Etienne had a resurgent season as the […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks looked like he was in prime position to have a great game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4. Injuries to the Eagles' top wide receiver and tight end, DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dallas Goedert (knee), had caused them both to be ruled out for that contest. Thusly, […]

It's finally that time of year when we see interesting veteran players who have some tread left on their tires but weren't on a team to start the season signing with new teams. In recent days, the most interesting veterans in this vein have been running back Joe Mixon and the still unsigned wide receiver […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) tore his ACL in his seventh game as a pro in his rookie season and was ruled out for the rest of that year. After a blazingly hot start to his time as a pro, he unfortunately had to deal with the struggle of seeing his career […]
