Week 15 has concluded, and despite being nearly done with the 2025 NFL season, we still saw players have surprise performances that made fantasy managers consider grabbing them off waivers and starting them in Week 16, even with potential elimination on the line. The fantasy playoffs, in most leagues, are single-game elimination contests. But as […]

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) has now missed two games in a row with knee and ankle injuries. He hurt his knee in Week 12, just after his team's bye week, early in the contest against the Atlanta Falcons, and was forced to exit. It's been a rough season for the […]

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) suffered his second knee sprain of the 2025 season in Week 10. It was his first game back from his first knee sprain, which caused him to miss three weeks, including his team's Week 9 bye. It seems, on the surface, like the Jets rushed him back […]

The D/ST position in fantasy football is certainly frustrating to deal with. Each year, there are only a handful that become set and forget at their position. This season, the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans lead that group, but there aren't many. The problem is that a lot of things typically have to go right […]

The Los Angeles Chargers activated rookie running back Omarion Hampton from injured reserve ahead of Week 15 of the 2025 season. He had missed eight weeks due to a fractured ankle he suffered in Week 5, just as it looked like he was taking over a workhorse role for the team. Players tend to get […]

We've already seen the Atlanta Falcons play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. On Thursday Night Football, the Bucs shockingly collapsed, losing to Atlanta 28-29. If you started Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, you're probably very happy with his performance. He completed 30 of his 44 attempts for 373 yards and three touchdowns, with all his […]

Players can have breakout games at any point in any NFL season. While it might seem like we already know all the players who will be fantasy relevant for the fantasy football playoffs, we've seen players have elite stretches over the past three or even two contests, sometimes seemingly out of nowhere. There are a […]

It's Week 15, which is the first week of the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues. Whether you made it in and want to win a championship, or are just looking to avoid your league's last place spot, there's still reason to work the waiver wire. Even if you're out of the playoffs, it makes […]

We're just one week away from the fantasy football playoffs in most fantasy leagues. Public ESPN leagues actually start the playoffs in Week 14, but most leagues don't, as there are still a lot of teams on bye that week. It doesn't make much sense to have playoff games that week. Instead, it's the last […]

If you manage any fantasy football teams that have already gotten to eight wins, or are in a great position to make the fantasy football playoffs, you might start thinking about trades you can make to set yourself up for success in the fantasy postseason. Sometimes, even sure-fire must-start players have a string of difficult […]

The fantasy football playoffs are almost upon us. You might have missed the playoffs in your leagues or be fighting for the last spot to make it in, so this article might not be completely relevant for you yet. But for those of you who have made it in, or those who are simply looking […]

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has had a very rocky season in the NFL in 2025. Fantasy managers who drafted him around his ADP, between the fourth and sixth rounds, have likely struggled with the decision to start him or leave him on the bench every week. And it would be hard to blame […]

The Chicago Bears will be without wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) for some period of time. He had a huge start to the season, catching five touchdowns in his first four games before the team's bye, and was one of the top receivers in fantasy football. Reporting stated, though, that he's been dealing with a […]

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 […]
