2024 NFL Draft First Look: Top Five Offensive Line Prospects

The NFL playoffs are underway, which means the combine and the NFL draft are just around the corner. Given the talent at quarterback and wide receiver in the 2024 draft class, skill players will be the talk of fantasy football for the next eight months. However, many teams can make significant upgrades across the offensive […]

Fantasy Football Offenses to Start, Target for Week 18 - Juicy Playoff Matchups

Week 18 represents the last week of the NFL season, and for some, the end of the fantasy season. This week can be especially challenging given teams resting starters or playing young players to get a look heading into the 2024 season. Finding advantageous matchups in the trenches can make or break the season at […]

For many, the fantasy season ended in Week 17. However, there are plenty of leagues that play through the final week of the season in the true spirit of the NFL. If you are in one of those leagues, then this article is for you. Week 18 introduces plenty of chaos with teams trying to […]

Fantasy Football Offenses to Start, Target for Week 17 - Juicy Playoff Matchups

The 2023 season is coming to a close with many leagues holding their championship in Week 17. If you’re in the championship, that means you need to pull out all of the stops to end the season with a victory. There were some really bad performances from offensive lines in Week 16 and several other […]

If you’re reading this article, you’ve likely made it into your fantasy championship. Congratulations on drafting a strong team and playing the waiver wire the right way throughout the season.

Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 16 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Baker Mayfield, Gardner Minshew, Easton Stick

The first week of the fantasy playoffs has come and gone, but the quarterback position remains a mess. In Week 15, eight different teams were forced to play a game with a different quarterback than their Week 1 starter, mostly due to injuries. Still, there were some impressive performances when the fantasy season mattered most. […]


Zamir White - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Offenses to Start, Target for Week 16 - Juicy Playoff Matchups

The fantasy season continues on with most leagues cutting down to the final four teams in the playoff semifinals. Fantasy managers have no reason to hold back at this point in the season and need to exploit any and all edges to try and bring home the championship. Week 15 saw significant injuries across offensive […]

Fantasy Football Offenses to Start, Target for Week 15 - Juicy Playoff Matchups

The fantasy playoffs are finally upon us which means it is time for fantasy managers to pull out all the stops to try and secure a championship. Injuries continued to play a major role in games last week, including some very significant losses in the trenches across the league. Several teams with playoff aspirations will […]


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

Top Week 15 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Matthew Stafford, Jake Browning, Joe Flacco, more

There were some solid quarterback performances in Week 14. In the most unlikely of events, we got Desmond Ridder, Joe Flacco, and Zach Wilson as three of four 300-yard passers. Additionally, five quarterbacks had three passing touchdowns, which helped sustain the quarterback position in fantasy scoring. The fantasy playoffs are finally upon us, which means […]


Josh Jacobs - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 14) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

For most leagues, Week 14 is the final week before the fantasy playoffs. Fantasy managers are working to secure a first-round bye, a playoff spot, or trying to finish the season strong. Unfortunately, there will be two teams on bye this week as well. The injuries didn’t stop hitting in Week 13 despite fewer teams […]


Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 14 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Baker Mayfield, Gardner Minshew, and Aidan O'Connell

Week 13 was another average week for quarterback production thanks to several big names being on bye week. We got excellent fantasy performances from Brock Purdy (314 yards and four touchdowns), Geno Smith (334 yards and three touchdowns), and Dak Prescott (299 yards and three touchdowns) with little else. For many, Week 14 represents the […]


Zack Moss - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 13) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

The fantasy playoffs are just around the corner and every week matters. Teams who have already locked up a playoff spot need to keep optimizing their roster to push for a championship. Teams on the cusp of earning a playoff bid need to secure crucial wins to stay alive. Finding an edge in matchups can […]

Top Week 13 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Russell Wilson, Jordan Love, and Baker Mayfield

There weren’t many great games during Week 12, but we still got to see some excellent quarterback performances. Seven different quarterbacks threw for over 300 yards in Week 12, including an awesome shootout between Trevor Lawrence (364 yards and a touchdown) and C.J. Stroud (304 yards and two touchdowns). Unfortunately, Week 13 means bye weeks […]


Gus Edwards - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 12) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 11 has come and gone and the divide is starting to grow between the best and worst offensive lines in the NFL. Week 12 will be another week where we have a full slate of games, so expect that divide to expand even further. Last week was a relatively quiet week on the injury […]


Top Week 12 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Derek Carr, Gardner Minshew and Jake Browning

Week 11 served as a bounceback for the quarterback position in fantasy. Four quarterbacks threw for over 300 passing yards and 12 different quarterbacks had multiple touchdown passes. We also saw the return of Justin Fields (169 passing yards, a passing touchdown and 104 rushing yards). However, for as good as the week was for […]


Joshua Dobbs - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 11 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Joshua Dobbs, Russell Wilson, and Jordan Love

Week 10 signaled a shift back to underwhelming production from quarterbacks across the NFL. Only two players (C.J. Stroud and Joe Burrow) threw for over 300 passing yards in a game where they played against each other. Additionally, we had just seven quarterbacks throw for multiple touchdown passes, headlined by a three-touchdown performance from Brock […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 11) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Bye weeks robbed us of some of the best fantasy players in Week 10. Thankfully, there were still plenty of fireworks, especially with a high-scoring matchup between the Chargers and Lions. Of the teams who were playing, we got a pretty clean week from injuries among offensive line units. The most significant injury is potentially […]


James Cook - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 10) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Week 9 was a rough one for offensive lines across the NFL. 14 teams had average PFF grades below 60.0 in their matchups. Additionally, we saw more potentially significant injuries for teams across the league. The Titans lost starting tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere for the season with a shoulder injury while the Browns may be working […]


Sam Howell - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

Top Week 10 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Sam Howell, Joshua Dobbs, Baker Mayfield

Week 9 provided a historic performance from Houston Texans rookie C.J. Stroud. Stroud threw for 470 yards and five touchdowns. Outside of him and Dak Prescott (374 yards and three touchdowns), there wasn’t much production from the quarterback position. We also may have lost another starting quarterback (Daniel Jones) to a season-ending injury. In this […]


Amari Cooper - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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

Week 8 was a welcomed break from the bye weeks, but it was short-lived with four teams on bye in Week 9. Fantasy managers who have been relying on teams like Denver, Detroit, San Francisco and Jacksonville will certainly be working to fill some gaps in their lineups in Week 9. Understanding which teams will […]


Will Levis - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Week 9 Quarterback Pickups - Best Fantasy QB Adds, Streamers Include Will Levis, Baker Mayfield, Sam Howell, Derek Carr, more

Week 8 was a welcomed reprieve from bye weeks with every NFL team in action. There were also some notable performances from Sam Howell (397 yards and four touchdowns), Jalen Hurts (319 yards and four touchdowns), and rookie Will Levis. Fantasy managers were also met with an unfortunate injury after Vikings’ quarterback Kirk Cousins suffered […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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

Week 7 was loaded with bye weeks and injuries across the NFL. Fantasy teams were forced to comb through the waiver wire to find solutions to try and keep fantasy championship dreams alive. Thankfully, we didn’t have to take notice of many bad injuries in the trenches in Week 7. The most significant offensive line […]

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

Week 6 will go down as a fantasy bloodbath. The teams weren’t scoring. Players were getting hurt left and right. The struggles of NFL offenses in Week 6 had a massive impact that probably affected nearly every fantasy manager in one way or another. There were also offensive line implications to this week as well […]

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

Week 5 was a bloodbath for offensive lines across the league. Seven different teams had a starting offensive lineman miss a majority of the game, highlighted by Alijah Vera-Tucker on the Jets (knee) and Kaleb McGary on the Falcons (knee). 18 different offensive linemen missed some part of a game this week (although some of […]

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

The NFL season is flying by and we have officially hit the point where bye weeks are impacting fantasy lineups. Four teams (Cleveland, Seattle, Tampa Bay, and the LA Chargers) will have the week off in Week 5, leaving fantasy managers scrambling to identify players to help their team. Finding edges in unconventional places is […]


Top Quarterback Waiver Wire and Streaming Options for Week 5: C.J. Stroud, Matthew Stafford, Mitch Trubisky

After two weeks of strong offensive performances, teams took a step back in Week 4. Only five quarterbacks threw for over 300 passing yards. Just four quarterbacks had more than two passing touchdowns. 11 teams scored at least 28 points but most of that production did not come from the quarterback position. Now that four […]


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

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

We saw a historic offensive performance in Week 3 thanks to the Miami Dolphins, who put up an absurd 70 points against the Denver Broncos. Outside of Miami (which has received most of the well-deserved press), there were plenty of other good offensive games as well. Eight different teams scored at least 28 points as […]
