Geno Smith - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Is Geno Smith A Good Waiver Wire Pickup? Fantasy Football Outlook

Finding the right quarterback in fantasy drafts and through the waiver wire is important to fantasy success. In 1QB leagues, having a quarterback that can provide a consistent high floor with boom week upside gives teams one less position to worry about and can buoy scoring on down weeks from skill players. In SuperFlex leagues […]

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

Offensive lines across the NFL struggled to create a pocket or generate a push on the ground in Week 4. 14 different offensive lines had an average PFF grade under 61.0, including three teams (Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and the Los Angeles Rams) that failed to score a 51.0 grade. Luckily, there weren’t as many significant injuries […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 5: Jared Goff, Ryan Tannehill, Zach Wilson, Kenny Pickett

Week 4 is coming to a close and teams are continuing their struggles on offense. Just 10 teams scored over 25 points in Week 4. A lot of that comes from another underwhelming passing week as teams struggle to navigate a higher volume of two-deep coverages. Just four quarterbacks (Jared Goff, Matt Ryan, Justin Herbert, […]


Christian McCaffrey - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

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

Three weeks of the NFL season are done and scoring remains down across the league. Defenses are sitting in two-high coverage shells, forcing offenses to lean on the run game to try and open up the pass. Week 3 was the worst week of the season in terms of significant offensive line injuries. The Chargers […]


Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 4: Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence, Jimmy Garoppolo, Geno Smith

Week 3 is nearly in the books and quarterback play is starting to stabilize. 17 different quarterbacks threw for over 250 passing yards and six teams scored at least 28 points. Josh Allen paced the quarterback position as the week’s only 400-yard passer. Six other quarterbacks (Jameis Winston, Jalen Hurts, Geno Smith, Mac Jones, Kyler […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jimmy Garoppolo is back at the helm of the 49ers' offense and finally has his full complement of offensive weapons back after George Kittle returned from his calf injury. Given the yards-after-catch abilities of all his pass-catching weapons, Garoppolo won’t need to […]


Jared Goff (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody will confuse Jared Goff with a high-end QB1 in fantasy, but he has shown the ability to provide a consistent floor by utilizing the weapons around him on the Lions’ offense. Goff completed 25 of 41 passes for 277 yards with […]

Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It may have taken a year, but Trevor Lawrence is starting to look like the quarterback we thought he could be when he was selected first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence completed 28 of 39 passes for 262 yards and […]


leonard fournette fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Is Leonard Fournette Playing in Week 3? Should I Start Rachaad White?

Injuries happen in football. Most players have learned how to play through minor dings and dents throughout the year, but the injuries could have an impact on performance. One player working through an injury is Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette. Fournette popped up on the injury report for the second consecutive week with […]


Allen Lazard - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Allen Lazard Healthy or Injured? Will Lazard Play in Week 3?

Allen Lazard was a popular name in fantasy drafts throughout the summer as most people assumed he would ascend to the WR1 role for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers during the 2022 season. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan so far. Lazard missed Week 1 thanks to a foot/ankle injury before returning in Week […]

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

Week 2 is officially in the books and offenses continue to struggle (unless you’re a Bills or Chiefs fan). In terms of offensive line play, things looked similar to Week 1. Plenty of teams struggled and offensive scoring remained down. There were only two very notable injuries with significance in Week 2, the Chargers lost […]


Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 3: Jimmy Garoppolo, Tua Tagovailoa, Carson Wentz, Jared Goff

It has been a rough start to the quarterback position to start the NFL season in terms of injuries. Last week, the Cowboys lost Dak Prescott for several weeks with a thumb injury. This week, exciting rookie Trey Lance was carted off the field after he suffered a broken ankle that will ultimately end his […]


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

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After two underwhelming seasons, it seems that Tua Tagovailoa is ready to show the skills that made him a top-five pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Tua flashed an improved deep ball in a massive come-from-behind victory against the Baltimore Ravens in […]


Jahan Dotson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Is Jahan Dotson A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 2?

Week 1 is in the books, and we finally have some worthwhile data to parse through to determine the moves we need to make to win our fantasy league. One player that had a significant performance was a rookie wide receiver, Jahan Dotson. The Washington Commanders drafted Dotson in the first round of the 2022 […]


Chris Godwin - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Chris Godwin Healthy or Injured? Will Godwin be Active in Week 2?

When healthy, Chris Godwin is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and a perfect fit with Tom Brady as his primary slot receiver. Unfortunately, he suffered an ACL injury at the end of the 2021 season, putting the start of 2022 in doubt. Godwin progressed steadily throughout the summer, working off to […]


Trey Lance - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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

Week 1 of the NFL season has come and gone and we can finally break down some actual NFL film and data. It was a slow start for offenses across the league with 11 of 16 games going under on the projected Vegas totals. Part of that problem stemmed from some questionable offensive line play […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 2: Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield

After months of buildup, the first week of the 2022 NFL season has come and gone. Similar to years past, it felt like defenses ruled the first week of the season.
