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 […]

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.

There weren’t any major quarterback injuries in Week […]

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

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

It is never too soon to be combing the waiver wire to upgrade your roster.

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)

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

Time to Drop J.J. McCarthy? Fantasy Football Week 3 Waiver Wire Outlook (2025)

Week 2 was a rough one for injuries, especially at the quarterback position. Several players fantasy managers were relying on in 2025 are set to miss significant time going forward. One player is Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Fantasy managers drafted the former first-round pick after he missed his entire rookie season with a knee injury. […]

Jake Browning - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 3 Include Jake Browning, Mac Jones, Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, more

There were some impressive performances by quarterbacks in Week 2. Six quarterbacks (as of Sunday night) threw for at least 300 yards, led by Russell Wilson's 450-yard performance against the Cowboys. Jared Goff threw for five touchdowns, and Lamar Jackson had four. Six other quarterbacks had three passing scores. Of course, it wasn’t all good. […]

David Njoku - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Tight End Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 2 (2025)

Tight end is one of the few positions you can consistently stream in fantasy football because it is one of the most volatile positions. Sure, we can expect to see some names at the top of the scorers board each week, but for the most part, tight end comes down to nailing a player’s usage […]

It wasn’t the greatest week of fantasy production, but we did still get some excellent performances from quarterbacks. Nine different quarterbacks scored at […]
