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. Popular streamers like Bryce Young and Michael Penix Jr. are also out. Three players that will be on the fantasy radar in […]


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)

The 2025 fantasy season has been particularly brutal in terms of injuries to key players. Unfortunately, one of the players injured was Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton. Hampton was the team’s first-round pick out of North Carolina, who has rare size and explosiveness. Unfortunately, he suffered an ankle injury when he was starting […]


Alec Pierce - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (QB, RB, WR, TE)

Week 8 is setting up to be a difficult week in fantasy football between injuries and bye weeks. The fantasy season doesn’t stop, so if you are facing either issue, you will still need to put together a team to try and win. Identifying deep sleepers on the waiver wire will be crucial to fantasy […]


Michael Penix Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 8 Include Jaxson Dart, Marcus Mariota, Joe Flacco, Aaron Rodgers, Michael Penix

Week 8 is our first “Byemageddon” situation in fantasy football in 2025. Six teams will be on bye, considerably thinning out the quarterback position in fantasy. Add in some potential injuries and a benching, and things will be ugly at the quarterback position in Week 8. Thankfully, there are still some good options on the […]


Tyler Allgeier - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Kendre Miller, Tyler Allgeier, RJ Harvey: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7

For many, Week 7 is the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. It is time for teams to start making pushes to get into a position where the fantasy playoffs are a reality. 2025 has been a tough year for injuries, but weeks are getting even more difficult with bye weeks. Fantasy managers […]


Zach Ertz - Fantasy Football Rankings, Tight End Sleepers

Harold Fannin Jr., Cade Otton, Zach Ertz: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7

The fantasy season presses on, and attacking the waiver wire has never been more important. Injuries and bye weeks have ravaged lineups, forcing fantasy managers to get creative to win their matchups. One place that fantasy managers should constantly evaluate their roster is the tight end position. The volatility at tight end makes it easy […]


Aaron Jones - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

When Will Aaron Jones Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 7 (2025)

There have been so many injuries early in this fantasy season that it is easy to forget that Aaron Jones Sr. has been on the injured reserve since Week 2. Jones was one of the most valuable players in fantasy football in 2024, finishing as the RB20 (14.2 points per game) thanks to a career-high […]


George Kittle - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Targets

When Will George Kittle Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 7 (2025)

Fantasy managers who drafted George Kittle have undoubtedly been patiently waiting for the veteran tight end to return from the injured reserve. Unfortunately, Kittle’s time on the injured reserve required more than the four-week minimum stay. The hope is that an extra week of rest will give Kittle the greatest possible chance to avoid suffering […]


TreVeyon Henderson - Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings, RB Draft Sleepers

Time to Drop TreVeyon Henderson? Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

Week 7 is a good point in the fantasy season to take a step back and evaluate your roster to make a push for the fantasy playoffs. Part of that process is determining if underperforming players are worth keeping or cutting to optimize your roster. One player who has been frustrating for fantasy managers this […]


Jaxson Dart - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie QB Sleepers

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 7 Include Michael Penix Jr., Jaxson Dart, Sam Darnold, Joe Flacco, J.J McCarthy

Week 6 was a solid week for quarterbacks in fantasy. Eight quarterbacks finished with at least 20.0 fantasy points, including two (Jaxson Dart and Jacoby Brissett) who were streaming options. Still, there were several big names out of commission due to injuries (Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray) or the bye week (C.J. Stroud), which lowered […]


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

Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (QB, RB, WR, TE)

Week 6 brought us some fantastic fantasy performances from some unexpected places (Rico Dowdle, Kimani Vidal, Kayshon Boutte, and others). Unfortunately, it was also another week marked by significant injuries, particularly at the wide receiver position. Fantasy managers who have been enjoying hot starts from Puka Nacua, Garrett Wilson, and Emeka Egbuka are now trying […]
