Fantasy managers were optimistic about the Denver Broncos offense entering the 2026 season. The group was coming off a strong year, headlined by growth from Bo Nix, a strong offensive line and run game, and the addition of veteran wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. One of the young players expected to take a step this season […]

Romeo Doubs was never a fixture in your fantasy lineup during his first four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, but he did provide a steady floor with some upside as a streaming option. His fantasy production was expected to get a boost after signing a big contract with the New England Patriots this offseason. […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has long been a favorite of the fantasy community, even while splitting opportunities in the passing attack with A.J. Brown. Fantasy managers expected Smith to become a locked-in WR1 after the Eagles traded Brown to the New England Patriots this offseason. Unfortunately, things have not gone as planned. Smith […]

Fantasy managers drafted Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka expecting to see growth in a passing attack without veteran Mike Evans. Instead, they’ve undoubtedly been frustrated by an inconsistent passing offense that has hurt fantasy production across the board. Things took a turn for the worse over the last two weeks, with Egbuka missing […]

On the surface, Travis Etienne Jr. signing with the New Orleans Saints in free agency seemed like a potential game-changing move for fantasy managers. Etienne was coming off arguably his best professional season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and was joining an ascending offense with a young quarterback and offensive-minded head coach. Instead, fantasy managers were […]

The fantasy season is officially halfway over. We are starting to see some players earn bigger roles, others get their workloads reduced, and teams across the league navigate injuries. The fantasy playoffs are starting to come into focus. Regardless of how your team started, everybody still has a chance to find a way into their […]

Week 8 had some truly impressive quarterback performances. Whether it was Joe Burrow (462 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions) and Cam Ward (304 yards and two touchdowns) dueling it out in a shootout or Kirk Cousins (247 yards, three passing touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown) putting up another big week, quarterbacks once again produced. […]

For most, Week 8 signals the halfway point of the fantasy football season. Whether your team started hot or has disappointed, you still have plenty of time to fortify your roster and make a playoff push. Navigating injuries and bye weeks is crucial to fantasy success. Identifying waiver-wire players with increased roles who are flying […]

The success of the running backs in fantasy football in 2025 pushed the position up draft boards in 2026. Fantasy managers who were hoping to go with a “Hero RB” approach were forced to take a chance on a running back in the first four rounds. One player that gained steam throughout the summer was […]

Zach Charbonnet had a career-best season for the Seattle Seahawks in 2025. The third-year running back formed a potent 1-2 punch with veteran Kenneth Walker III to elevate the Seattle rushing attack and open up opportunities for Sam Darnold in the play-action game. Charbonnet had arguably taken over the lead role in the backfield heading […]

The Los Angeles Rams were widely considered the Super Bowl favorite after trading for defensive upgrades at edge rusher (Myles Garrett) and cornerback (Trent McDuffie) and coaxing Aaron Donald out of retirement. The expectation was that those moves, combined with the return of Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams on offense, would create a […]

Week 7 brought fantasy managers some impressive production from names that have struggled with consistency to start the 2026 season. Four quarterbacks (Bo Nix, Drake Maye, Joe Burrow, and Malik Willis) scored more than 28.0 fantasy points. Another four (Geno Smith, Caleb Williams, Michael Penix Jr., and Kirk Cousins) had more than 20.0. Regardless of […]

Jonah Coleman was a popular late-round pick in fantasy drafts as a day-three rusher with the potential to take on a role in a good Denver Broncos offense. Fantasy managers got a glimpse of Coleman’s ability to make an impact in Week 2. The rookie running back saw an expanded role due to injuries in […]

It has been hard to find consistent RB2 production in fantasy football this season. Injuries have knocked out some popular late-round selections, and teams have been more judiciously splitting roles between multiple players to maximize their talent. One player fantasy managers were hoping they could rely on in 2026 was New York Giants second-year running […]

Week 6 was not an ideal week for quarterback production in fantasy football. Not only were fantasy managers missing some big names because of bye weeks (Jared Goff, Joe Burrow, and Kyler Murray), but teams in general struggled to put up points through the air. Only six quarterbacks (Trevor Lawrence, Tyler Shough, Drake Maye, Michael […]

There weren’t many signature fantasy performances in Week 6. Through Sunday’s games, only 25 total players across all positions surpassed 20.0 fantasy points in the week. It certainly didn’t help that several signature players from Cincinnati, Detroit, Minnesota, and Miami were on bye. Unfortunately, bye weeks won’t be any kinder in Week 7. Fantasy managers […]

Fantasy managers drafted Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, hoping that he would get the target share needed to re-establish himself as a potential top-10 fantasy wide receiver after showing that potential to start the 2024 season. Rice was starting to see his role creep up gradually during the start of the season before […]

The 2026 season hasn't been kind to fantasy running back depth. There are 10 running backs who are averaging 18.0+ fantasy points per game, but only 25 total rushers who are averaging 10.0+ points per game. The lack of solid RB2 options has led fantasy managers to churn the waiver wire each week, hoping that […]

Quarterback scoring returned to form in Week 5. Two quarterbacks (Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels) surpassed the 30-point mark. Another eight (Jordan Love, Jared Goff, Joe Burrow, Jameis Winston, Jacoby Brissett, Aaron Rodgers, Trevor Lawrence, and C.J. Stroud) broke 20 points. Unfortunately, it’s also the time of year when bye weeks force fantasy managers to […]

The Philadelphia Eagles made the decision to move on from veteran wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, a move that signaled that they believed that DeVonta Smith was their WR1 of the present and future. Fantasy managers responded by using a top 36 pick on the Eagles’ pass catcher, hoping for an expanded role in […]

One of the biggest edges that fantasy managers can unlock is nailing the quarterback position. Finding a player who can elevate fantasy scoring as both a passer and rusher has long been a cheat code in fantasy football. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been one of those cheat codes throughout his career. 2025 was […]

The football season is well underway. That means teams, both real-life and fantasy, are dealing with injuries and ineffectiveness that could derail their season. NFL teams are always churning through free agency to find running back depth as they work to address injuries. Sometimes teams look at players who are young and looking for their […]

Bye weeks started in Week 5 but will ramp up in Week 6. Four teams will be out of action this week, three of which (Detroit, Minnesota, and Cincinnati) have numerous fantasy-relevant players at every position. Being able to target under-the-radar waiver wire options can be the difference between winning and losing at this point […]

Week 4 was filled with memorable performances across all fantasy positions. However, it also served as a brutal reminder of how quickly injuries can change the outlooks for teams and fantasy managers. Things will get even more complicated in Week 5 now that bye weeks are starting. Only two teams are on bye in Week […]

Week 4 wasn't a banner week for quarterbacks. Eight signal-callers (Drake Maye, Joe Burrow, C.J. Stroud, Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, and Bryce Young) scored over 20 fantasy points on the week. Seven quarterbacks threw for over 300 passing yards (including 400-yard performances from Burrow and Goff), but only three passers had […]

Injuries are an unfortunate part of fantasy football. Knowing how to navigate those situations can make or break a fantasy season. One tenet that many fantasy players live by is avoiding players who come into the 2026 season injured. However, other players will target summer injuries in hopes of getting a player at a discount. […]

Injuries are an unfortunate part of fantasy football. Knowing how to navigate those situations can make or break a fantasy season. Fantasy managers drafted Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams hoping that he took a step as a passer in Ben Johnson’s offense after an uneven 2025 season. Williams showed off the ability to generate jaw-dropping […]

From a pure talent perspective, Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson was the most talented wide receiver prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tyson’s college film was littered with acrobatic catches and explosive plays after the catch. Tyson’s injury history was also a major red flag. Tyson dealt with a significant hamstring injury throughout his […]

Injuries have derailed MarShawn Lloyd’s career over his first two professional seasons. Lloyd, a former third-round pick, played just 10 snaps as a rookie while navigating hamstring, hip, and ankle injuries as a rookie. He missed the entire 2025 season with a hamstring injury as well. Lloyd came into 2026 healthy and showed his explosiveness […]

Jonathon Brooks was a fast riser in fantasy drafts throughout the summer. The 2024 second-round pick entered the season fully recovered from his ACL injury (his second in two seasons), which he suffered as a rookie. There was also excitement around the Panthers offense after a 2025 playoff berth that saw the team take the […]
