Week 3 was one of the craziest weeks of regular-season NFL football I can remember. We had multiple upsets, high scores, and plenty of disappointing and surprising fantasy performances. Oh, and a laundry list of injuries that is sure to cause panic in leagues everywhere. One positive thing to come out of Week 3 was […]

If nothing else, Week 2 of the 2026 season should have served as a stark reminder that it is not wise to overreact to Week 1. Some players who started hot have cooled off, and many players who disappointed to begin the year have already course-corrected (sorry, Marvin Harrison Jr. managers). And then, of course, […]

Dynasty fantasy football is incredibly fun for many reasons, but perhaps the best thing about dynasty is its robust, year-long trade market. Whether you're contending, rebuilding, or retooling in the offseason, there is always a deal to be made and (hopefully) an interested trade partner. Although there are plenty of dynasty leagues with trade deadlines, […]

We are just three weeks away from the start of the fantasy playoffs. This season has been quite the ride, and it's hard to believe it's already almost over. It had been a rather tame year for injuries to skill positions through the first 10 weeks, and, of course, the injury bug hit hardest right […]

For many fantasy gamers, this is the last week to make trades. Once the final snap of Monday night's game is taken, rosters can only be upgraded by way of the waiver wire, where it is rare to find difference-makers in most 12-team leagues. In other words, this week's column may be my most important […]

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and fantasy football trade deadlines are soon to follow. Trades are no longer permitted after the conclusion of Week 11 in most redraft leagues. In other words, you have less than two weeks left to improve your fantasy team in ways more meaningful than adding players off […]

Running backs absolutely dominated in Week 8. Excluding quarterbacks, nine players scored more than 20 half-PPR fantasy points. Six of them were running backs, one was a tight end, and two were wide receivers. While we all could have seen this Jonathan Taylor explosion coming a mile away, it was great to see a few […]

With the playoffs beginning in Week 15, we are officially halfway through the fantasy football regular season. Although we are still learning things about players and teams every single week, at this point, we can start to look ahead and predict who the biggest difference-makers could be down the stretch. Speaking of difference-makers, Jaylen Warren […]

Through six weeks of the NFL season, there isn't a team that feels truly unbeatable. One of the two 5-1 teams has an injury report the length of a CVS receipt, and the other is led by Daniel Jones. For what it's worth, I believe in both of these squads, but the potential for either […]

Week 5 gave us a little of everything: blowouts, shootouts, hard-fought divisional clashes, and narrow comeback victories. It was impossible to predict the outcomes of many matchups, but hopefully the scoring surplus benefited your fantasy team. One player who gained value from and contributed to his team's 37 points was David Montgomery, whom I announced […]

We are now over a quarter of the way through the fantasy football regular season, with most leagues starting playoff matchups in Week 15. At this point, fantasy managers should have a pretty strong indication of whether or not their teams are built to win. 4-0 and 3-1 squads might want to make some minor […]

We are now three weeks into the 2025 regular season, and the NFL feels just as unpredictable as it did heading into Week 1. Players are exploding out of nowhere (and vanishing just as quickly), fantasy defenses are putting up 30-point performances, and injuries are finally taking a toll on starting lineups. Also, the Eagles […]

In Week 1, only five teams managed to score over 30 points, and they were all clustered in just three games. Offenses started clicking in Week 2 as nine teams eclipsed 30 points in the early Sunday slate alone. While this was fun to watch, there were a ton of unexpected blow-up performances, so whether […]

Just like that, after months of anticipation, hot takes, and offseason hype, Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books. We saw several highly-touted superstars fall flat out of the gate, and some electric performances from guys that went undrafted in the majority of redraft leagues (hello, Quentin Johnston). It's natural to […]

It has been more than 20 Sundays since we watched the Eagles stun the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. The NFL's offseason is longer than that of its counterparts in America's "big four" professional sports leagues, and it certainly feels that way at this time of year. But hang in there, fantasy gamers. Not only […]

Merry Christmas, RotoBallers! Although we are still in the thick of the fantasy football playoffs and have two NFL games to watch, I hope you all get to spend some quality time with your loved ones and have a safe and happy holiday. Although the stock market may be closed for Christmas, the dynasty trade […]

It's semifinals week! With just two playoff rounds remaining in most fantasy leagues, there is limited time to take advantage of the in-season dynasty market. Player values are sure to change drastically the moment Week 17 is in the books and will continue to fluctuate throughout the offseason. At this point in the season, I […]

Well, RotoBallers, we made it. The fantasy playoffs are officially here. Because we're talking dynasty, you of course don't need to have made the playoffs to take something away from this column, but congratulations if you did! Even if you have a bye in Week 15, there are plenty of reasons to stay active and […]

We are just one week away from the fantasy playoffs in the majority of leagues, and at this point in the season, most redraft fantasy gamers can only upgrade their roster by way of the waiver wire. In many dynasty formats, however, there are no trade deadlines, meaning you can look to add contending pieces […]

With Week 12 officially in the books, we are just three weeks away from the start of the fantasy playoffs. Whether you are cruising comfortably in first place or fighting to sneak in at seventh or eighth place, anything can happen once the playoffs begin. No one remembers regular-season records or who drafted the best […]

For many fantasy football gamers, the end of Week 11 marked the last opportunity to make trades ahead of the fantasy playoffs. However, there are plenty of leagues that have a later deadline and some that have no deadline at all. This is especially true of dynasty leagues, and while this week's column will still […]

I'm not sure how we are at this point in the season already, but the end of Week 11 marks the trade deadline in most fantasy football leagues. The past 10 weeks have flown by, despite the countless ups and downs that have brought us immeasurable joy and pain. Fortunately, I avoided pain with my […]

The NFL trade deadline has officially passed, meaning there are only a few weeks left to trade in most fantasy football leagues. Player injuries have run rampant this season, so in all likelihood, a few areas of your team could use reinforcements or improvements before the fantasy playoffs begin. Ahead of Week 9, I recommended […]

We're approaching the main slate of Week 9 and fantasy managers are scrambling to make final adjustments to their starting lineups. Injury updates are coming in by the minute and players suddenly have different outlooks than they did earlier this morning. Khalil Shakir, Romeo Doubs, and Jalen McMillan are interesting players to consider this week. […]

Week 9 of the NFL season is underway and we have an exciting slate of games on Sunday. As we inch closer to the fantasy playoffs, making the right decisions on which players to start and which to sit becomes even more crucial. Fantasy managers everywhere are evaluating their lineups and making last-minute choices as […]

We can't even begin discussing Week 8 without acknowledging National Tight Ends Day. Unless you started Jake Ferguson or Cole Kmet, you were happy with the output you got from your tight end last week. Don't expect to be as pleased this week -- we are much more likely to revert to the tight-end landscape […]

Through seven weeks of the 2024 NFL campaign, we've seen plenty of unpredictable performances and enough injuries to drive any fantasy manager mad. It's important to keep in mind that despite how tumultuous the season has been so far, there is still more than enough time to right the ship. To do so, however, you'll […]

Week 8 of the NFL season is upon us and it's time to make some crucial decisions about your starting lineup. With so many players dealing with injuries, there are plenty of fantasy gamers rolling with players they managed to add from the waiver wire. Tank Bigsby, Jalen McMillan, and Darnell Mooney were not drafted […]

Week 7 was a strange one. Multiple players went down with season-ending injuries and others simply did not show up. There were likely many fantasy lineups out there that failed to crack 50 points. If you struggled this week, just know that you're not alone and that there is still plenty of football yet to […]

It's officially trade season in the NFL, with multiple Pro Bowl wideouts getting shipped to new destinations this week. The trade deadline is rapidly approaching, forcing teams to evaluate their current rosters and pinpoint areas of need. Fantasy managers should do the same thing this time of the year. To recap last week, I suggested […]
