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)

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 […]

Once again, fantasy managers are caught navigating injuries when making lineup decisions in Week 8.

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.

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.

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.

Fantasy managers […]

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. 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)

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). 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

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.

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

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 […]

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