Travis Hunter - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Picks

Is Travis Hunter Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 10)

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 […]


Brandon Aiyuk - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

Is Brandon Aiyuk Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 10)

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 […]


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

Is Trey Benson Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 10)

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, […]


Tank Bigsby - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Draft Sleepers, Rankings

Should I Pickup Will Shipley or Tank Bigsby? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

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 […]


Ray Davis - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Should I Pickup Ray Davis or Ty Johnson? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

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 […]


Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Legit Breakouts or Flukes? Colston Loveland, Alec Pierce, Tory Horton Fantasy Football Outlooks

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce, and Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton's Week 9 performances were easily the biggest games they've had this season. With each of these players rostered in under 30 percent of Sleeper fantasy football leagues pre-waivers, it seems that not many fantasy managers were expecting […]


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

When Will Rhamondre Stevenson Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 10 (2025)

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) missed his Week 9 contest against the Atlanta Falcons with a toe injury. It's the first time he hasn't been able to suit up for a contest this season. In his absence, RB TreVeyon Henderson took over the starting role. Despite the Patriots using a second-round pick […]


Woody Marks - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - Woody Marks, Nick Chubb, Tyjae Spears Fantasy Football Outlooks

Cycling through backup running backs, or those on teams mired in committees, is something most fantasy managers are familiar with. It sometimes only takes one game for a player to become a hot waiver wire target. In the case of Houston Texans running backs Nick Chubb and Woody Marks and Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears, […]


Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - Sam Darnold, J.J. McCarthy, Marcus Mariota Fantasy Football Outlooks

The quarterback position is ironically one of the most forgiving position in fantasy football in that you can draft a serious under-performer and still be fine. Many of the league's top-10 scoring QBs at the end of the season were unrostered at some point. This has already been proven true this year, as New York […]


Demario Douglas - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - DeMario Douglas, Tre Tucker, Christian Watson Fantasy Football Outlooks

The variability of wide receiver production can make it hard to know who to roster at times. It's very important to identify whether a certain player can start having consistent production or if they should remain on waivers after a spike week. Additionally, there are some players that are in a good situation for a […]


David Njoku - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - David Njoku, Mason Taylor, Theo Johnson Fantasy Football Outlooks

There's plenty of reason to be shopping for a tight end on waivers right now. Perhaps you have San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle and are disappointed to see his mediocre production. You might have also drafted Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), but unfortunately for him, his season is over due to […]


Darius Slayton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

The New WR1s: Why Chimere Dike and Darius Slayton Are Among Week 9's Must-Add Breakouts

Grabbing the right guys off waivers or in free agency just before the slate of upcoming games starts is always a good idea. Sometimes, these last-second moves can help your team immensely. There are also players that you should probably go ahead and cut bait with -- roster cloggers that prevent you from grabbing players […]


DJ Moore - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

DJ Moore, Tee Higgins, Jakobi Meyers: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

If you drafted Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore, Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins, or Las Vegas Raiders wideout Jakobi Meyers in fantasy football this season, you probably aren't very thrilled with their output to this point. But that doesn't make them useless in fantasy football. Quite the opposite -- each clearly has upside that's […]


Jayden Reed - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Is Jayden Reed A Starting Wide Receiver For The Packers When He Returns?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, clavicle) is currently recovering from surgeries to address a Jones fracture in his foot and a broken collarbone. The foot injury was something he was playing through early in the year, but the broken clavicle occurred on a deep end zone shot when he was tackled to […]


Terry McLaurin - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

When Will Terry McLaurin Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 9 (2025)

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) suffered a quadriceps injury in Week 3 of 2025. It's possible that he was more vulnerable to injuries after his extended contract holdout in the offseason. He missed four games, but returned to action in Week 8. In that game, he re-injured the same quad and ended up […]


Wide Receivers to AVOID In 2025 Fantasy Football

Is Jalen McMillan A Starting Wide Receiver For The Buccaneers When He Returns?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) has been slowly rehabbing a severe neck sprain that he suffered in a preseason game this year. He picked up the aliment when he leapt to make a catch, was hit by a defender, and flipped over backwards, landing upside down and with his head and neck […]


Cedric Tillman - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is Cedric Tillman A Starting Wide Receiver For The Browns When He Returns?

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) has now been out of action for four weeks. He was placed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4. A lot can change in the NFL in four weeks, so it's reasonable to wonder if any of the other Browns receivers have broken out […]


Joe Mixon - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Joe Mixon The Starting Running Back For The Texans When He Returns?

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) still hasn't played a game at all this season. Eight weeks in, he remains on injured reserve. It remains a mystery why he even got hurt in the first place. While his production slowed down toward the end of last season, he didn't have any major injury […]


Rashid Shaheed - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Rashid Shaheed, Jameson Williams, Tre Tucker: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams, and Las Vegas Raiders wideout Tre Tucker have all been in the range of WR2s/WR3s this season. Each at least deserves some consideration for starting lineups. In deeper leagues, players like this are very important -- and it's especially important to try to […]


Jacory Croskey-Merritt - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Jacory Croskey-Merritt, TreVeyon Henderson, Jaylen Warren: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson, and Pittsburgh Steelers tailback Jaylen Warren are three players that are heavily rostered in fantasy football leagues this year. Obviously. That doesn't mean they're set-and-forget players, though. They've all had good and bad games, and when that happens, it's important to dive into […]


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

Should I Pickup Parker Washington or Dyami Brown? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee) was set to emerge from his bye week with the potential for a big breakout. He had his first big game in Week 7, when he caught eight of his 14 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. The struggles of the Jags WR1, Brian Thomas Jr., have […]


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

Is Rhamondre Stevenson The Starting Running Back For The Patriots When He Returns?

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was healthy and active through his first eight games of 2025. Unfortunately, that streak is coming to an end in Week 9. Stevenson didn't practice all week with a toe injury, and was eventually ruled out before the contest against the Atlanta Falcons. In his place, RBs […]


Kyle Monangai - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Draft Sleepers, Rankings

Should I Pickup Kyle Monangai or Travis Homer? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

With Chicago Bears starting running back D'Andre Swift (groin) officially ruled out for his team's Week 9 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals, Bears head coach Ben Johnson will turn to his backup running backs to handle the backfield work in the upcoming contest. Additionally, third-string back Roschon Johnson (back) won't play due to a back […]


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

Tyrone Tracy Jr., Rico Dowdle, Bam Knight: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

There's a lot of luck involved in fantasy football. Things change over the course of a few weeks, and sometimes even more quickly, and if you're able to capitalize early on those situations, you can benefit greatly. At the running back position, the New York Giants, Carolina Panthers, and Arizona Cardinals had Cam Skattebo (ankle), […]


Keenan Allen - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Keenan Allen, Marvin Harrison Jr., Xavier Worthy: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen, Arizona Cardinals wideout Marvin Harrison Jr., and Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy are likely in the starting lineups of most fantasy football least for Week 9. But each has been vulnerable to low-scoring games this season, and fantasy managers might be wondering if they're set to have […]


Jauan Jennings - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Jauan Jennings, Jordan Addison, Deebo Samuel Sr.: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle, shoulder), Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison, and Washington Commanders wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. are all right in the conversation for WR2 or WR3 status so far this season. They're not quite top-12 players at their positions, but they've shown enough upside to be trusted in starting […]


David Montgomery - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

David Montgomery, J.K. Dobbins, Kenneth Walker III: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

Unfortunately, there are only a handful of elite, absolute-must-start running backs in fantasy football this season. De'Von Achane, James Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, and a few others. There certainly aren't 14 of them, or even 12. This means in nearly every league there are teams that have RBs that they might struggle with making […]


Romeo Doubs - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Romeo Doubs, Chimere Dike, Christian Watson: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

The Green Bay Packers have an upstart duo of wide receivers in Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson (knee), and the Tennessee Titans have an emerging speedster rookie WR Chimere Dike. All three of these players fit in to the WR3 conversation -- players you'd consider using as flex options. If your fantasy football squads are […]


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

Kareem Hunt, Woody Marks, Zach Charbonnet: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

With eight weeks of the 2025 NFL season in the books, we're starting to get a better idea of what NFL backfields look like now, and how the workload is distributed between the RBs of each team. At least we are for those rooms that are staying mostly healthy, at least in terms of the […]


Brandon Aiyuk - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

Is Brandon Aiyuk The Starting Wide Receiver For The 49ers When He Returns?

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and damaged meniscus in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs last year. Since then, he hasn't played a single snap and has remained on injured reserve while he recovers from his injury. Currently, he has no timetable to return, and we're […]
