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

Top Week 10 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Russell Wilson, Drake Maye, Justin Herbert, Tua Tagovailoa, Daniel Jones, more

It was not a banner week for the quarterback position in fantasy football. There wasn’t a single quarterback that surpassed 300 passing yards between Thursday and the main Sunday slate. We did get a five passing touchdown performance (Joe Burrow) and three quarterbacks with three passing touchdowns, but that was it. Four teams have a […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 9) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Bye weeks are back in Week 9 with the 49ers and Steelers getting the week off. For many teams, it is time to scour the waiver wire again to try and make a push for the fantasy playoffs. Several teams entered Week 8 with offensive line injuries, but the Vikings suffered one of the worst […]


Jameis Winston - NFL DFS Picks, Waiver Wire, Fantasy Football Rankings

Top Week 9 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Russell Wilson, Geno Smith, Jameis Winston, Matthew Stafford, Daniel Jones

Fantasy managers enjoyed a vintage quarterback performance from Jameis Winston, who led all quarterbacks in passing yardage (334) going into Sunday night. Three other quarterbacks surpassed 300 passing yards with five touchdowns throwing for three or more touchdowns (Jalen Hurts added three rushing scores). Week 8 was a nice break from bye weeks, but we […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 8) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

After two weeks of great fantasy production, Week 7 was a regression to how the season started. Plenty of teams also suffered brutal injuries to key players. Thankfully, those effects weren’t felt along the offensive line despite the number of teams that entered the week missing starters. Through seven weeks, we have a strong enough […]


Tua Tagovailoa - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Week 8 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Tua Tagovailoa, Geno Smith, Jameis Winston and more

After a few great offensive weeks, Week 7 was underwhelming at the quarterback position in fantasy. There was just one 300-yard passer (Josh Allen) and one quarterback with three passing touchdowns (Jordan Love). Some injuries will shake up quarterback rooms in the NFL and fantasy. Deshaun Watson (Achilles) suffered a likely season-ending injury. New Raiders’ […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 7) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

We get a slight reprieve from bye weeks in Week 7 with only two teams getting the week off (Dallas and Chicago). However, there are still fantasy matchups to be played and edges to be found with a nearly full slate of games. Offensive play is starting to stabilize after a slow start to the […]


Drake Maye - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Week 7 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, Drake Maye, Matthew Stafford

Offensive scoring continued to stabilize in Week 6. Six teams had more than 30 points in the week. We also had a team that scored 40 points (Houston) and a team that scored 50 (Tampa Bay). It wasn’t a big passing yardage week, but there were still some excellent passing performances in the touchdown department. […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 6) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

We finally witnessed some offensive football in Week 5 of the NFL season. Nine different teams had 30 or more points. Five of those games went for over 35. We also saw nine different quarterbacks exceed 300 passing yards. The previous high was five. Despite the strong offensive production, offensive lines across the NFL continue […]


Caleb Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, QB, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Top Week 6 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields, Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, more

We finally saw some fun offensive football in Week 5. 10 teams scored over 27 points. Seven quarterbacks threw for over 300 yards, led by an absurd 509 passing-yard day from Kirk Cousins. We also had a five-touchdown performance (Joe Burrow), two quarterbacks with four touchdowns (Cousins and Lamar Jackson), and two others with three […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 5) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Injuries continue to plague offensive lines across the NFL. 17 NFL teams had at least one backup offensive lineman take snaps in Week 4. Seven teams had at least two new starters. That led to a continuing trend of offensive lines struggling to get movement in the trenches. Only six teams finished with an average […]


Andy Dalton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Week 5 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Sam Darnold, Geno Smith, Justin Fields and more

Five quarterbacks had more than 20 fantasy points in Week 4. Three quarterbacks (Justin Fields, Baker Mayfield, and Jordan Love) exceeded 28 fantasy points. Things will get even more bleak with bye weeks finally starting in Week 5. The quarterback position still hasn’t been great for fantasy, but at least four quarterbacks exceeded 300 passing […]


Saquon Barkley - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 4) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 3 was a bloodbath for offensive lines across the NFL. 13 teams lost at least one starter in the trenches in Week 3. Several starters will be out for the rest of the season. That’s bad news for a position group struggling to start the season. Despite the injuries, we did see a slight […]


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

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Top Fantasy Football QB Adds for Week 4 Include Justin Fields, Sam Darnold, Andy Dalton, Daniel Jones, more

We finally got some good production out of the quarterback position in Week 3. Four quarterbacks (Dak Prescott, Caleb Williams, Andy Dalton, and Jalen Hurts) surpassed 300 passing yards. Three different quarterbacks had three or more passing touchdowns. Scoring is still down across the league, but there are signs that quarterbacks are starting to figure […]


Carson Steele - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Waiver Wire, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 3) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Offenses continued to struggle across the NFL in Week 2. While some of that can be tied to the increased use of two-high coverages from defenses, there has certainly been a wide range of subpar offensive line play this year. Just 12 of 32 teams had their collective offensive lines average a PFF grade of […]


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

Top Week 3 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Geno Smith, Derek Carr, Sam Darnold and more

Offenses continued to find their footing in Week 2. Just five teams found a way to score 26 or more points. From a fantasy perspective, Week 2 was marginally better than Week 1. We did get four 300-yard passers, but only one quarterback had more than two passing touchdowns (Kyler Murray). Things will certainly improve, […]


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

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 2) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

If you like offensive football, Week 1 of the NFL season was underwhelming. Only two quarterbacks threw for over 300 yards. Similarly, just two quarterbacks had more than two passing touchdowns. Part of the issue with Week 1 was the collective struggle of offensive line units across the league. Just nine teams finished the week […]


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

Quarterback Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups - Top QB Adds for Week 2 Include Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, more

Week 1 was not a stellar week for quarterbacks. Just six quarterbacks finished Week 1 with 20 or more fantasy points. Only one quarterback (Tua Tagovailoa) had over 300 passing yards. Two quarterbacks (Baker Mayfield and Derek Carr) surpassed two passing touchdowns. The good news is it can only improve from here -- unless you […]

Fantasy Football Draft Targets and Avoids - AFC/NFC South

The 2024 season is nearly upon us.

Week 18 represents the last week of the NFL season, and for some, the end of the fantasy season.

The first week of the fantasy playoffs has come and gone, but the quarterback position remains a mess.

Still, there were some impressive performances when the fantasy season mattered most. […]
