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 […]


Kyle Monangai - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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. Winning a fantasy championship requires them to navigate these absences to field a competitive team week after week. That is especially true in Week 7, with the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills getting a week off. Fantasy […]


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. Another six quarterbacks are averaging at least 19.0. Having that many options makes streaming even more appealing in fantasy football. 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

Injuries continue to impact all positions in fantasy football, but are hitting the wide receiver position the hardest. That said, there are still plenty of decisions that need to be made each week to maximize your team’s fantasy performance. In this article, we will look at three players (Rome Odunze, Jaylen Waddle, and Keon Coleman) […]


Chase Brown - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Chase Brown, Quinshon Judkins, J.K. Dobbins: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6

We have officially entered one of the most difficult stretches of the fantasy season. Not only are fantasy managers working to navigate their way through injuries, but bye weeks are also taking players that we rely on out of our lineups. 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. Unfortunately, a late-week injury caused the tight end to be inactive, showing everybody that things could always be worse. Now, fantasy managers are stuck wondering how long it will take for their second-round fantasy pick to be limited or out of their lineup […]


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

Last week was a strong week for the quarterback position, even with injuries (Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Brock Purdy) and bye weeks (Caleb Williams and Jordan Love) taking some of the big names at the position off the slate. Nine different quarterbacks scored at least 20.0 fantasy points. Six players had 25.0 or more. […]


Theo Johnson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (QB, RB, WR, TE)

The 2025 NFL season is flying by. If your fantasy league’s playoffs begin in Week 15, the season is a third of the way over. At this point, we have a good feel for the different teams and players we have drafted and can make moves accordingly. Unfortunately, bye weeks and usage changes are the […]


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

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

Fantasy managers got unfortunate news after Week 4 when Bucky Irving suffered foot and shoulder injuries that were severe enough to keep him off the field in Week 5. As time has gone on, we have learned that Irving will likely need more than a week to recover from his injuries and is at risk […]


RJ Harvey - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Time to Drop Player RJ Harvey? Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

One of the rookies that generated the most hype this summer was running back RJ Harvey. Harvey was beloved by fantasy analysts and managers alike thanks to his ability to generate explosive plays in an offense that has produced high-end fantasy production. That high-end outcome hasn’t materialized yet, leading to frustration from fantasy managers who […]


Ladd McConkey - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Ladd McConkey, Michael Pittman, Chris Godwin: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5

The wide receiver position has been plagued by major injuries to start the season. Fantasy managers who selected players like CeeDee Lamb, Malik Nabers, Tyreek Hill, or Terry McLaurin (among others) are likely scrambling to find replacement players to try and salvage their fantasy season. Add in the fact that four teams are on bye, […]


Sam LaPorta - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight End Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5 (2025)

2025 has been another rough season for the tight end position. Just one player with a minimum of three games played is averaging more than 15.0 fantasy points per game (Jake Ferguson). Just 12 tight ends are averaging double-digit points. Being able to identify good streaming options is once again a viable way to navigate […]


Chase Brown - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Chase Brown, JK Dobbins, David Montgomery: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5

The start of the 2025 fantasy season has been challenging thanks to injuries. Starting in Week 5, fantasy managers will also have to find a way to navigate through the additional challenge of bye weeks. Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, and Pittsburgh will all have Week 5 off. That takes at least three running backs that […]


When Will George Kittle Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 5 (2025)

Fantasy football has had some brutal injuries to start the 2025 season. One of the most significant injuries was to San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. Fantasy managers who drafted the veteran tight end were under the assumption that their tight end position was set for the season. Unfortunately, a hamstring injury in Week […]


Matthew Stafford - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 5 Include Matthew Stafford, Jaxson Dart, Sam Darnold, and more

Week 4 was not a banner week for the quarterback position in fantasy football. Only five quarterbacks scored more than 20.0 fantasy points on the week, headlined by Matthew Stafford (27.4) and Patrick Mahomes (27.3). They were also the only two quarterbacks to have more than two passing touchdowns. Week 5 is the beginning of […]


Malik Washington - Fantasy Football, Rankings, NFL, Rookie, Sleepers

Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (QB, RB, WR, TE)

It is hard to believe that four weeks of the NFL season have already come and gone. Whether your team got off to a hot start or struggled out of the gate, the season is far from over. No matter your record, there are winning moves to be made on the waiver wire. That is […]


Kaleb Johnson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Sleepers, Injury News

Time to Drop Kaleb Johnson? Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

One of the great skills that you can possess as a fantasy manager is the ability to remain fluid and react to information to optimize your team’s ability to win each week. Often, that means we need to adjust our roster when players are getting more or fewer opportunities than expected. At this point, we […]


Dylan Sampson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Time to Drop Dylan Sampson? Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

The Browns' backfield was considered very ambiguous heading into 2025. Cleveland let Nick Chubb leave in free agency, replacing him with two rookies in the NFL Draft. The summer didn’t offer much clarity, with one of those rookies (Quinshon Judkins) not signing his rookie contract and getting arrested before training camp. That saga allowed Dylan […]


Darnell Mooney - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Troy Franklin, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darnell Mooney: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 4

It is hard to believe it is already Week 4. We now have a small but significant sample size to help us guide our lineup decisions in fantasy. Thankfully, there are still plenty of options each week with all 32 teams in action. Unfortunately, that will come to an end in Week 5 with bye […]


Hunter Henry - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Tight End Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 4 (2025)

Being able to identify tight ends who have the potential to put up huge fantasy production is essential if you didn’t invest an early pick in your fantasy draft in the position. Finding those values can unlock the ceiling of your fantasy team without using a premium pick. Several tight end performances swung fantasy matchups […]


CeeDee Lamb - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS and Betting Picks, NFL Injury News

CeeDee Lamb Injury Report: Is Lamb Playing in Week 4 for Fantasy Football?

Dallas Cowboys’ wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was universally a top-five pick in fantasy drafts this offseason thanks to his role as the WR1 in the Cowboys’ passing attack. There was hope that he could finish as the WR1 overall in fantasy, given his talent and offensive environment. Those hopes took a significant hit in Week […]


Matthew Stafford - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 4 Include Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Bryce Young, more

Week 3 wasn’t the most explosive week for fantasy teams, but there were some impressive performances from quarterbacks across the league. Five different quarterbacks scored at least 20.0 fantasy points, headlined by Caleb Williams (29.1) and Jalen Hurts (29.0). We even saw a backup quarterback (Marcus Mariota). There weren’t any major quarterback injuries in Week […]


Blake Corum - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (QB, RB, WR, TE)

The best time to pivot in fantasy football leagues is early in the season. Identifying players who are receiving larger or smaller workloads than expected and making adjustments to the roster is a quick way to unlock your team’s long-term upside. That is especially true in leagues that have deep benches. Being proactive on the […]


Rachaad White - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups - Brian Robinson, Braelon Allen, Rachaad White Fantasy Football Outlooks

It is never too soon to be combing the waiver wire to upgrade your roster. That is especially true at running back after injuries to players like James Conner, Najee Harris, and Aaron Jones Sr. to start the season. Most backfields are split this season, which allows fantasy managers to find fantasy contributors in any […]


Kyle Monangai - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups - Rico Dowdle, Kyle Monangai, Brashard Smith Fantasy Football Outlooks

Three weeks into the fantasy season, we are starting to see more injuries pop up. There are still two weeks until we start getting teams on bye, so itis essential to scour the waiver wire now to find players who can contribute to your fantasy lineup when you need them most. In Week 3, we […]


Sam LaPorta - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight End Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 3 (2025)

There were plenty of impressive tight end performances in Week 2. We had our first 20-point scorer of the year (Tucker Kraft), along with 10 other players who logged double-digit fantasy points. The tight end position is still one of the most difficult places to find consistent fantasy points, so it is essential to understand […]


Wan'Dale Robinson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Week 3 Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (QB, RB, WR, TE)

The best time to pivot in fantasy leagues is early in the season.

That is especially true in leagues that have deep benches. Being proactive on the waiver […]
