Is J.K. Dobbins Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 16)

There have been numerous significant injuries during the 2025 NFL season that have had an impact on fantasy football. In some cases, fantasy managers are hoping that their injured player can return down the stretch to provide some fantasy value. One player who fits that billing is Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins. Dobbins was […]

Is Sam LaPorta Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 16)

The 2025 season has been a frustrating one for injuries in fantasy football. Each week, there have been numerous impactful injuries that have forced fantasy managers to think on the fly. In a lot of cases, fantasy managers are left stashing an impactful player on the injured reserve, hoping for a late-season boost to their […]


Chris Rodriguez Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Running Back Sleepers, RB Handcuffs

Blake Corum, Devin Neal, Chris Rodriguez Jr.: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 15

For most, Week 15 is the opening week of the fantasy football playoffs. It is time to pull out the stops in a quest for a fantasy football championship. That could mean leaning on players that may not have traditionally been in your lineup, especially if you find yourself as the underdog in your playoff […]


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 15)

2025 has been a brutal season for injuries across fantasy football. One highly drafted player who has missed significant time this summer is New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. When healthy, Wilson gave fantasy managers a top-10 wide receiver season thanks to his high-volume role in the Jets’ offense. Unfortunately, a knee injury has […]


J.J. McCarthy - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Draft Sleepers

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 15 Include J.J. McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers, Shedeur Sanders, Tyler Shough, Bryce Young, and more

Week 14 was an odd week at the quarterback position in fantasy. Nine different quarterbacks scored at least 20.0 fantasy points. However, there is a really good chance that four of them (Shedeur Sanders, Aaron Rodgers, Tyler Shough, and J.J. McCarthy) were nowhere near your starting lineup in single QB leagues. If you are reading […]


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

When is Jayden Daniels Coming Back- Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 14 (2025)

Fantasy managers drafted second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels with confidence throughout the summer. Daniels took the NFL (and fantasy football) by storm as a rookie, flashing consistent accuracy as a passer and mobility with a subpar supporting cast. Unfortunately, injuries and general offensive struggles have led to a down year for fantasy. Not only has Daniels […]


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

When Is Mike Evans Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 14 (2025)

Mike Evans has been one of the most reliable players, regardless of position, since entering the NFL in 2014. Fantasy managers have been able to count on double-digit fantasy production with at least 13 games played per season. Unfortunately, all that came to an end in 2025. Evans struggled with injuries early in the season […]


Justin Herbert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Justin Herbert Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 14)

Justin Herbert has performed like a top 10 quarterback in fantasy football this season, even if his recent play has been a notch below his early-season form. Still, the Chargers have very talented pass catchers who can elevate Herbert on any given week. Fantasy managers who have leaned on Herbert throughout the season got a […]


Trevor Lawrence - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 14 Include Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa, Jacoby Brissett, more

Week 13 was another uneven week for fantasy football quarterbacks. All 32 teams were in action, but only seven quarterbacks surpassed 20 fantasy points, and just two (Patrick Mahomes and Jordan Love) had 25.0+ points. Unfortunately, Week 14 will once again have four teams on bye. That is especially bad news for fantasy managers relying […]


Audric Estime - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injuries

Should I Pick up Devin Neal or Audric Estime? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

Being proactive on the waiver wire late in the season can be the difference between winning a fantasy championship and participating in your league’s consolation bracket. Making sure to maximize your FAAB budget or using your waiver priority on a player with an increased role is crucial. One situation worth exploring in fantasy is the […]


Kirk Cousins - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 13 Include Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Kirk Cousins, more

Week 12 was once again difficult for quarterbacks in fantasy. Jameis Winston (32.2 points) and Jalen Hurts (30.8) provided high-end fantasy performances. But only four other quarterbacks (Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford, Cam Ward, and Caleb Williams) managed to score more than 20 fantasy points. Week 13 is a welcome reprieve from bye weeks, but there […]


Sean Tucker - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Draft Sleepers, Draft Rankings

Emanuel Wilson, Sean Tucker, Kenneth Gainwell: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 12

The fantasy playoffs are right around the corner. Now is the time to make moves that will lead to a playoff berth, and hopefully, a fantasy championship. There were several running back injuries in Week 11 that opened up opportunities for backup running backs to have big fantasy weeks. Undoubtedly, those performances led fantasy managers […]


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
