It's crunch time now. If you're fighting for the best overall seed in your league, trying to get a first-round bye, or even doing what you can to make the playoffs at all, there are certain players you might want to be very wary of starting. Of course, whether or not you should bench the […]

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has been struggling production-wise for the past few weeks. He's had some solid games, but those have been mixed in with awful performances, including a 0.0 PPR fantasy point game in Week 9 against a week Cincinnati Bengals defense. Odunze's early-season tear gave way to major inconsistency, but […]

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in his Week 13 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He was subsequently taken to the locker room for further medical evaluation. Unfortunately, he was ruled out of that game with the injury. The Lions didn't have much time between that game and […]

Let's say you're one of the many fantasy football managers who drafted Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle). Maybe you chose Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle). Perhaps you selected Titans tailback Tony Pollard. If you chose any of these players, you've probably been hurting at RB for most of the season. The same […]

The wide receiver position is just a little bit more forgiving than the running back position in terms of finding talent on the waiver wire. It's hard to find players that will be consistently good moving forward, though. Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone), Green Bay Packers wideout Christian Watson, and Houston Texans […]

Detroit Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) went down very early in his team's Week 13 Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers with an ankle injury. He was later diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain. The Lions play again on Thursday this week against the Dallas Cowboys. While the injury he has hasn't […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) looked to be set to take over the starting running back job for his team after the season-ending injury to lead back James Conner (ankle). Conner dislocated his ankle in Week 3 and was ruled out for the rest of the season. Benson took over in Week 4, […]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver, Dontayvion Wicks, New York Jets wideout Adonai Mitchell, and New Orleans Saints receiver Devaughn Vele all had surprisingly great outings in Week 13 for their fantasy football managers. All of them were rostered in fewer than 10 percent of Sleeper leagues heading into the week, so it's not like anyone […]

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) hasn't had great luck with injuries this season. He'd been mostly healthy in his career to this point, missing just one game in his first three seasons in the NFL. That's a pretty good track record, and while it's hard to blame players for injuries, he's been decided […]

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) got injured in his team's Week 10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was having what looked like a resurgent season, averaging over five yards per carry and handling the majority of the team's rushing workload. That quickly came to a grinding halt. Now, his return is […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the afternoon game of the NFL's Thanksgiving slate. It will be a clash of two teams hunting for their spot in this year's playoffs. Running backs Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco (knee) and wide receiver Xavier Worthy, all of the Chiefs, are […]

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in a Thanksgiving Day divisional battle for Week 13. These two teams are likely to look quite different in these games than they did earlier in the season. Both their starting quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow (toe), will be healthy and active for the game. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
