Jayden Daniels - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

When Is Jayden Daniels Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 12 (2025)

Jayden Daniels was a sensation in both real life and fantasy football as a rookie in 2024. It was easy to imagine his game taking another step in 2025, given his efficiency as a passer and runner. Unfortunately, injuries have derailed that dream. Daniels has missed several games this season due to various injuries, limiting […]


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

Woody Marks, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Schultz: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 12

Week 12’s Thursday Night Football matchup between the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills continues a trend of underwhelming Thursday matchups. Still, there are plenty of players in this game who can be fantasy relevant. On one hand, the Bills have Josh Allen, who can push any of his pass catchers into a high-end fantasy outcome […]


Garrett Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Is Garrett Wilson Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 12)

Garrett Wilson was an early-round fantasy pick in 2025 based on the idea that he would be fed a huge target share every week from Justin Fields. We have seen that formula work for Fields before, but never with a receiver with Wilson’s talent level. For a while, that plan paid off. Unfortunately, a series […]


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

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - Kareem Hunt, Trey Benson, Tyjae Spears Fantasy Football Outlooks

The fantasy playoffs are right around the corner, and it is time to start fishing on the waiver wire for players who can improve the floor and ceiling of your fantasy lineup. One area that fantasy managers can target is the running back position. There have been numerous injuries in recent weeks that have given […]


Jacoby Brissett - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Rankings, QB Streamers, NFL DFS Picks

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 12 Include Jacoby Brissett, Sam Darnold, Bryce Young, and Tyler Shough

Week 11 was an odd one for the quarterback position. We got one of the best fantasy performances of the year from Josh Allen, who scored 42.6 fantasy points with three rushing and three passing touchdowns. We also got a 31-point performance from Bryce Young. Unfortunately, they were the only two quarterbacks entering Monday night […]


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

Woody Marks, Kimani Vidal, Rachaad White: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 11

For many, Week 14 is the final week of the fantasy football regular season. That means most leagues will have their playoff field set in just four games. Maximizing your fantasy lineup not only helps in the win/loss column but can also have major implications for potential tiebreakers. It goes without saying that the goal […]


TreVeyon Henderson - Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings, RB Draft Sleepers

TreVeyon Henderson, Stefon Diggs, Breece Hall: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 11

Thursday night football has been a mixed bag for fantasy production. There have been several memorable performances, like Matthew Stafford’s 389-yard passing effort in Week 5 or Ja’Marr Chase’s 161-yard game in Week 7. There was also Week 10’s 10-7 defensive slugfest between the Raiders and Broncos. Week 11’s matchup is between one of the […]


Kyle Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - Darius Slayton, Kyle Williams, Chris Godwin Fantasy Football Outlooks

Injuries and bye weeks continue to force fantasy managers to adjust their lineups on the fly. That is especially important with just three weeks left (for most) in the fantasy regular season. Now is the time to attack the waiver wire to try and optimize your lineup’s ability to make a run through the fantasy […]


Tre Tucker - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - Tre Tucker, Brandon Aiyuk, Keon Coleman Fantasy Football Outlooks

The fantasy football regular season is coming to a close, and it is time to make those final moves to solidify a spot in the fantasy playoffs. There have been several significant injuries among wide receivers during the 2025 NFL season. That has forced fantasy managers to get creative and take chances on players who […]


Kyler Murray - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Is Kyler Murray The Starting Quarterback For The Cardinals When He Returns? Week 11 Injury Update

There was hope that 2025 would be the year that Kyler Murray finally took a solid step in Arizona’s offense. The veteran quarterback had a solid season in 2024 after an ACL tear, but still left many plays on the field. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. Murray has continued to struggle with staying […]


Joe Flacco - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Rankings, Streamers, Draft Sleepers

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 11 Include J.J. McCarthy, Joe Flacco, Jacoby Brissett, Michael Penix Jr.

Week 10 was another strong week for quarterbacks in fantasy. Eight quarterbacks scored at least 20 points (both Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love can accomplish that feat tonight as well). Four quarterbacks had 25.0+ fantasy points, including a shocking QB1 performance for Davis Mills against the Jacksonville Jaguars (27.6 points). There are still 10 teams […]


Chris Olave - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Keenan Allen, Darius Slayton, Chris Olave: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 10

Few positions in fantasy football have been as impacted by injuries this season as the wide receiver position. That has forced fantasy managers to lean on more volatile options to win their matchups. Depending on your scoring format, there are a few ways you can go. In PPR leagues, there are opportunities to try and […]


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

Is Rhamondre Stevenson The Starting Running Back For The New England Patriots When He Returns? Week 10 Injury Update

Rhamondre Stevenson has been a steady producer for fantasy managers this season, even if it came at the expense of popular rookie TreVeyon Henderson. Unfortunately, a toe injury has sidelined him in recent weeks. That has allowed Henderson to take over a greater role in the backfield. But will he take advantage of the opportunity […]


Garrett Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

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

Garrett Wilson was off to a fast start in 2025, operating as the lead wide receiver with the New York Jets. Wilson was able to maximize a high volume of targets thanks to consistent negative game scripts. Unfortunately, Wilson suffered a knee injury in Week 6 that brought his momentum to a screeching halt. The […]


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

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

One of the biggest debates coming into the 2025 fantasy football season was what to do with 2025 first-round pick Travis Hunter. Hunter was a true unicorn athlete, entering the NFL as a high-level wide receiver and cornerback. On one hand, Hunter’s dynamism with the ball in his hands was evident at Colorado. On the […]


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

Time to Drop Jacory Croskey-Merritt? Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

One of the fastest late-summer risers in fantasy football was Washington Commanders rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Croskey-Merritt was a camp sensation as a 2025 seventh-round pick, consistently forcing missed tackles and wowing spectators with his one-cut rushing style. He quickly climbed the depth chart and made it clear he would have a role in a talented […]


Bucky Irving - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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

Bucky Irving was one of the biggest surprises in fantasy football in 2024. Fantasy managers drafted him in the second round of 2025 drafts based on his excellent skill set and offensive environment. Things started off well to start the season, but unfortunately, injuries have sidelined the second-year running back for most of the 2025 […]


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

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 10 Include J.J. McCarthy, Sam Darnold, Michael Penix Jr., Marcus Mariota

There were some excellent high-end fantasy performances from quarterbacks in Week 9. Football fans got to enjoy a duel between the fantasy QB1 (Caleb Williams) and QB2 (Joe Flacco) in the same game. In total, nine different quarterbacks scored over 25.0 fantasy points, and six of them had more than 27.0 points. Five quarterbacks threw […]

Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (QB, RB, WR, TE)

For many, now is the time to start churning your roster on the waiver wire to improve your roster to make a push for a fantasy title. Thankfully, injuries and bye weeks have ensured that there are plenty of strong options on the waiver wire. We saw strong performances from young, ascending players in Week […]


Alvin Kamara, Jordan Mason, Kyle Monangai: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9

Week 9 is another difficult week for fantasy managers trying to find a running back. Once again, the position is ravaged by injuries and teams on bye. That means that fantasy managers will need to get creative on the waiver wire or lean on running backs that have struggled to provide consistent production in 2025. […]


Omarion Hampton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie RB Draft Sleepers

Is Omarion Hampton The Starting Running Back For The Chargers When He Returns?

Omarion Hampton was an early-round draft pick in fantasy drafts this summer thanks to his size, explosiveness, and offensive environment. Early in the season, that move looked to pay off. Hampton was getting a dominant share of the Chargers’ backfield after Najee Harris was injured and getting the volume needed to be a top 10 […]


Mike Evans - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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

The wide receiver position has been ravaged by injuries in fantasy football this season. One player who has felt the effects of those injuries is Mike Evans. Evans has suffered through two different injuries this season that have cost him multiple games. Fantasy managers drafted him expecting consistent production from one of the best wide […]


Kyler Murray - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 9 Include Kyler Murray, Trevor Lawrence, Tyler Shough, J.J. McCarthy, Joe Flacco

Week 9 was not a banner week for fantasy quarterbacks. Just 10 players scored 20+ fantasy points. Only three had more than 25.0 points. The position struggled through injuries and a massive six teams on bye. Four teams are on bye, three of which have fantasy-relevant quarterbacks. Fantasy managers who have tried to be patient […]


Tyjae Spears - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (QB, RB, WR, TE)

Week 9 will offer a minor reprieve from bye weeks, as the number of teams will decrease from six to four. Unfortunately, three of those teams (Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New York Jets) have players who we have come to rely on in fantasy this season. Thankfully, there weren’t too many injuries that […]


Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Time to Drop Jerry Jeudy? Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

The wide receiver position has been decimated by injuries this season. One player who has stayed healthy is the Cleveland Browns’ receiver Jerry Jeudy. Unfortunately, his availability hasn’t translated into fantasy production. Jeudy has struggled with inconsistency this season, trying to navigate a struggling passing attack and a quarterback transition. Fantasy managers who drafted him […]


Caleb Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Caleb Williams, Joe Flacco, Jaxson Dart: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 8

Week 8 will be a tough one for fantasy managers looking for quarterback production. Six teams are on bye. Names like Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels, and Brock Purdy are expected to miss again.

DeVonta Smith - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

DeVonta Smith, Tee Higgins, D.J. Moore: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 8

Once again, fantasy managers are caught navigating injuries when making lineup decisions in Week 8. Unfortunately, there are also six different teams on bye in Week 8, further complicating the player pool for fantasy managers. Due to the number of unavailable players, fantasy managers may need to get creative or rely on players who have […]


Dalton Kincaid - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Evan Engram, Dalton Schultz, Dalton Kincaid: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 8

There are six teams on bye this week, meaning the pool of available options at tight end is even thinner than usual. Fantasy managers may need to take chances on more volatile players at tight end this week to fill out their roster. Should fantasy managers start Evan Engram, Dalton Schultz, and Dalton Kincaid in […]


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

When Will Trey Benson Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 8 (2025)

Navigating injuries has been one of the biggest challenges of the 2025 fantasy football season. Every position has felt the pressure of missing key players due to injury. One player who initially benefited from an injury was Arizona Cardinals’ running back Trey Benson. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for Benson to suffer an injury that […]


Omarion Hampton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie RB Draft Sleepers

When Will Omarion Hampton Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 8 (2025)
