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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

The second half of the season for rookie players is often one that's marked by big improvements in their games. It takes time to get accustomed to playing in the NFL, learn a new offense, and learn an NFL offense for the first time in a player's career. For fantasy football, this means we can […]

Finding players that mostly struggled through the first part of the season, but appear to be on the verge of a breakout, or have already had big games that could constitute a breakout, is one of the best ways to gain an edge in your fantasy football leagues. It's not just rookies that you have […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has now missed four games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 4. He was placed on injured reserve after that game and remains there today. And it doesn't look like he'll be able to return in Week 10, either. Benson missed practice on Wednesday. After […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) missed his team's Week 9 game against the Buffalo Bills with a knee sprain. In his place, RB Kareem Hunt took over starting duties and handled the majority of the backfield work. This season hasn't been great for Pacheco drafters, who chose him around the fifth and […]

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) suffered a dislocated elbow while being tackled to the ground on a rush attempt in his team's blowout loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. The gruesome-looking injury is the third he's suffered this year. He previously missed time due to a knee sprain, which held him out […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ribs) wasn't able to finish his Week 9 game against the New Orleans Saints. He caught seven of his eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown before taking a shot to the chest and being pulled from the game. He wasn't able to return, and in his […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) injured his ankle in Week 5 of the 2025 season, in the midst of what looked like a massive breakout campaign. He was on an absolute heater, having scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in three straight games. Unfortunately, he had to be placed on injured reserve, where […]

The Las Vegas Raiders traded away wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars right before the trade deadline, creating a vacuum in targets that will have to be filled in by the team's remaining pass-catchers. Wide receivers Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. appear to be in line to benefit immediately, however much that […]

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) was ruled out before his team's Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a groin injury. Apparently, he had been dealing with the injury for some time, as he was listed on previous weeks' injury reports with the aliment. In his place, rookie RB Kyle Monangai (ankle) […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has quite a different fantasy football outlook after Tuesday's Raiders trade news -- WR Jakobi Meyers was sent to the Jacksonville Jaguars for fourth- and sixth-round picks. Meyers was Tucker's biggest remaining obstacle to getting consistent high target volume among the Raiders WRs. While tight end Brock Bowers […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings caught four of his five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 9 win over the New York Giants. It was the third week in a row that Jennings led all receivers on his team in receiving yards. The 9ers have been devastated by […]

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez had his best game of the season in Week 9, rushing 12 times for 64 yards and a touchdown in the blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, rookie RB Jacory Croskey-Merrit, the starter up to this point, struggled yet again. He averaged under 3.6 yards per carry, failed […]

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle/foot) continues to rehab an ankle and foot injury that he suffered in the offseason before the 2025 season started. He hasn't played in a game yet and remains on injured reserve. It's been a frustrating situation for fantasy managers who drafted him. His ADP remained inside the top-8 […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) was in the midst of a meteoric rise in fantasy football rankings, seemingly solidifying himself as one of the best fantasy tailbacks in all of football, before he suffered an ankle injury in Week 5. He hasn't played in a game since then as he continues to […]

In a recent move, just before the 2025 NFL trade deadline, the Las Vegas Raiders traded wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville will receive Meyers, and the Raiders will get fourth and sixth-round picks in exchange. It's not a total surprise, as the Jaguars WR room has been in turmoil all season. […]

Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee) was placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in practice ahead of his team's Week 9 game. The aliment was a surprise for fantasy football managers, as he had managed to stay healthy through all of the team's games up to that point. Hunter looked to be […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still hasn't played a single snap of football in 2025 after suffering a devastating knee injury in Week 7 of 2024. His leg was struck by a defender while it was planted in the ground, causing his knee to buckle. The former Arizona State Sun Devil was […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) was placed on injured reserve in Week 4, just one game after the team's starting RB, James Conner (ankle), was placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Benson hasn't played a game since, and Conner is out for the season. In Benson's place, RBs Bam Knight, […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) had to exit his team's Week 8 contest early with a groin injury. It's not yet known exactly if he'll play in Week 10. The team had its bye week in Week 9. But we've already seen, in the cases of Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle and […]

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (ankle/foot) is currently dealing with a lower-leg injury that he suffered late in his team's Week 9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai and Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle proved that it pays off to churn backup running backs through your rosters in […]
