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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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.

For many, Week 7 is the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season.

The fantasy season presses on, and attacking the waiver wire has never been more important.

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.

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)

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 […]

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).

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups - Trevor Etienne, Ollie Gordon II, Kyle Monangai Fantasy Football Outlooks

Injuries and bye weeks continue to force fantasy managers to adjust their lineups on the fly in 2025.

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

Justin Fields, Bo Nix, Jordan Love: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6

There have been many impressive quarterback performances in fantasy this season. Eight quarterbacks are averaging over 20.0 fantasy points per game.

If you don’t have one of the early round quarterbacks (who are healthy), then […]


Keon Coleman - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Keon Coleman, Jaylen Waddle, Rome Odunze: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6

Thankfully, we have gone from four teams on bye in Week 5 to just […]


Kevin Tompkins' Five Football League Winners

When Will Brock Bowers Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6 (2025)

Undoubtedly, fantasy managers with Brock Bowers were entering Week 5 feeling underwhelmed.

Mac Jones - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 6 Include Matthew Stafford, Mac Jones, Dillon Gabriel, Sam Darnold, Bryce Young
