The big dogs came to eat last week as Jonathan Taylor, James Cook III, Saquon Barkley, and Breece Hall hit them fantasy streets up for 30-plus fantasy points apiece.

Apologies in advance if you sat Drake Maye or Tua Tagovailoa last week. Despite tough matchups, both quarterbacks dropped 27.3 and 24.2 fantasy points, respectively, against two of the top defenses in Cleveland and Atlanta, and propelled themselves to top-10 finishes in Week 8. Meanwhile, Tyler Huntley, Dillon Gabriel, and Cam Ward outperformed Dak Prescott […]

Just as we all predicted, Daniel Bellinger, Pat Freiermuth, Noah Fant, and Theo Johnson were all among the weekly leaders in Week 7, proving that the tight end position is just as volatile now as it has ever been. With several tight end options off the board this week, including Trey McBride, Sam LaPorta, Brock Bowers, and AJ […]

The “Bye-Apocalypse” has been a fantasy landmine since the dawn of fantasy football. Here in Week 8, we have six teams on bye, with many of the top receivers taking their talent to Cancun for the week. That’s right, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Cooper Kupp, Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., Davante Adams, Puka Nacua (ankle), Marvin Harrison Jr., all unavailable this week. So […]

Outside a few surprise performances courtesy of Kyle Monangai, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Brashard Smith, the leaderboard for Week 7 wasn't all that surprising. When we look at the overall fantasy production this season at the running back position, we are seeing consistency within the top 20 backs on a points per game basis. As we […]

For dynasty managers, age is more than a number. For many, getting the best return on their investments involves getting out a year early rather than holding on a little too long. Over the next couple of weeks, a "sell" window opens as teams with championship aspirations will look to add aging veterans to push […]
Matt DonnellyRunning Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2025)
As we enter Week 7 of the fantasy football season, the top 12 running backs in fantasy, for the most part, have made sense, with perhaps Cam Skattebo coming in as RB8 as the lone head-scratcher candidate. The next group of 12 is a little more perplexing, with Rico Dowdle, Travis Etienne Jr., Rachaad White, […]
Matt DonnellyWide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2025)
Last week, we had mixed results at the top of the leader board at the wide receiver position. George Pickens led the way with 31.8 fantasy points, while we also saw the return of Brian Thomas Jr. and Ladd McConkey. But, are they back in the fantasy circle of trust? That is yet to be […]
Matt DonnellyTight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2025)
Stop me if you have heard this before: tight end decisions are never what they seem and aren't easy. Tyler Higbee (14.0) finished Week 6 as a top 10 fantasy option despite posting a pair of goose eggs earlier this season. Rookie Oronde Gadsden also made his presence felt with an 11.8-point fantasy performance, just […]

The NFL season is full of pivotal moments. Week 7 is another one of those moments for fantasy managers as their seasonal outcome could hang in the balance. As teams in your league jostle for playoff positioning, the difference between 4-3 and 3-4 can not be understated. In Week 6, we had some of the […]

The cream always rises to the top. Entering Week 6, we have eight quarterbacks averaging at least 20 fantasy points per game, while Jayden Daniels sits 14th, averaging 19 fantasy points.

Matt DonnellyRunning Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 6 (2025)
First off, how about that performance from Rico Dowdle last week? In one game, Dowdle went from obscure to 18th in rushing yards and now has more yards on the ground entering Week 6 than Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, De'Von Achane, and Bucky Irving. The byes this week don't really affect fantasy managers all that […]
Matt DonnellyTight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 6 (2025)
Fantasy roulette continued this week with AJ Barner, Jake Tonges, and Theo Johnson all providing fantasy managers with 17 or fantasy points. At the same time, Trey McBride, T.J. Hockenson, and Hunter Henry failed to produce more than 10. If we have learned anything this season, it's to play the matchups, good or bad. Once […]
Matt DonnellyRunning Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 5 (2025)
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who are the fairest running backs of them all? If you look at Week 4 of the NFL season, those backs were Ashton Jeanty, Josh Jacobs, and Kenneth Gainwell, who all posted 30-point fantasy performances. Justice Hill, not Derrick Henry, was right behind the pack with 28.7 fantasy points. Every […]

By now, fantasy managers should know what they are dealing with when it comes to their rosters; however, even if you are 0-4 or 1-3, there is still time for you to turn things around, but now more than ever, in-season roster management is imperative. Star and sit decisions begin to magnify every week, while […]
Matt DonnellyWide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 5 (2025)
Remember when the best receivers in the game were the most productive in fantasy? That hasn't been the case this season regarding Rome Odunze, Quentin Johnston, George Pickens, Keenan Allen, Emeka Egbuka, and Tre Tucker. Nobody had any of those six receivers as top 12 options before the season began. Luckily, each week is a […]

It's bad enough trying to navigate the tight end position on a regular week. Now, as we enter Week 5, fantasy managers must begin to navigate the bye weeks for the most volatile fantasy position.

Matt DonnellyRunning Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 4 (2025)
It's hard to believe we are already entering Week 4 of the NFL season. In just three months, we will be discussing which players to start for our fantasy playoffs, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. You can't win it if you aren't in it. Last week, the big names at the […]
Matt DonnellyQuarterback (QB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 4 (2025)
If you have questions, we have answers, especially if they involve who you should start at the quarterback position in Week 4. We all know Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are smash starts every week, so you won't find them on this list. We want to go deeper and dig into the matchups to find […]
Matt DonnellyWide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 4 (2025)
If you had Tre Tucker as your WR1 for Week 3, you either need to get a lottery ticket or, my friend, you are a liar. Seriously, no one had a 40.9-point fantasy performance on their bingo card, or that Tucker would be averaging 19.7 fantasy points per game after three weeks. Tucker isn't alone […]
Matt DonnellyTight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 4 (2025)
Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuit. In Week 3 of the fantasy football season, Hunter Henry, Dalton Kincaid, Brenton Strange, Chig Okonkwo, Jack Stoll, and Drew Sample produced more than 10 fantasy points and sat inside TE1 territory heading into Monday Night Football. With that all out of the way, here are […]
Matt DonnellyRunning Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 3 (2025)
The current running back landscape isn't exactly what we expected. While the usual suspects such as Christian McCaffrey, James Cook, Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, and Jonathan Taylor remain staples inside the top 12, we also have some interesting backs in Javonte Williams, Travis Etienne Jr., and Jaylen Warren making some early-season noise. It's only Week […]

Matt DonnellyTight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 3 (2025)
If you think you know what's happening at the tight end position, think again. Inside the top 12, we have names like Harold Fannin Jr., Juwan Johnson, and Dalton Kincaid. That shouldn't surprise us, considering how volatile the tight end position has been historically in fantasy. Every year, a top-10 player emerges at this position […]
