Nothing brings a tear to my eye like seeing the heavy hitters of fantasy football go out there and do their thing. Jonathan Taylor (49.6), De'Von Achane (40.5), and Jahmyr Gibbs(38.2) are proving they're must-start status. We may have also witnessed the ascension of TreVeyon Henderson, who dropped 28 fantasy points after averaging 10.5 yards […]

With four weeks remaining before many fantasy football playoffs are set to begin, there are still plenty of fantasy managers with championship aspirations. You cannot win the championship if you don't make the playoffs, so every lineup decision becomes more and more critical by the week. Last week, Drake London (24.4), Nico Collins (22.6), and […]

Let the playoff jostling begin. Right now, your fantasy leagues' playoff picture is becoming clearer. Yet, every week we still see surprising performances. Last week, it was Jacoby Brissett, Davis Mills, Dillon Gabriel, and Mac Jones, who finished as top-10 fantasy quarterbacks, while Bo Nix and Sam Darnold, two top-10 options any given week, failed […]

Any given week, a new "stud" tight end could emerge. It happened again last week, just like everyone predicted, as Bills tight end Jackson Hawes posted 9.6 fantasy points and flirted with a top-12 fantasy finish on the week. What does Week 11 have in store for a fantasy encore? We break it all down […]

Everyone knows that Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, and James Cook II are locked in as must-start options every week, regardless of the matchup or what happened the week before. There is no need to overthink what those three bring to your fantasy lineups. Outside of those three backs, there is some fluidity amongst the running […]

Depending on when you read this article, the NFL trade deadline was moments away or had already passed. I either tweaked, edited, or completely blew up this week's edition and wrote it from scratch multiple times. While I'm not sure of what moves NFL teams have up their sleeves, what I do know is that […]

It is hard to believe we are heading into Week 10 of the NFL season. That means there are five more weeks for managers to jostle for positioning in an attempt to qualify for their fantasy playoffs. Unfortunately, with Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, Dak Prescott, and Patrick Mahomes all sitting this week out due to […]

Did you listen last week and start Colston Loveland? If so, you absolutely nailed it. Loveland was a full-sized fantasy candy bar, not some knock-off candy corn substitute. We also saw the return of Brock Bowers, who put the league on notice with his 43.3-point performance. Then we were reminded that we can't have nice […]

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. Hall even had a better fantasy performance as a quarterback than Baker Mayfield. All in all, 20 running backs finished with 10 or more fantasy points […]

Looking at the top 12 fantasy receivers from Week 8 has resulted in plenty of head-scratching. Troy Franklin (26.9), Khalil Shakir (20.8), Xavier Hutchinson (17.9), and Roman Wilson (17.4) clearly were not the top receiving options as they are unlikely to have started in more than 50% of leagues. Even Chimere Dike, who finished with […]

Once again, the tight end position played out in Week 8 just as we all predicted. Oronde Gadsden dropped 18.7 fantasy points, and Gunnar Helm produced a career-high 10.3 fantasy points. Meanwhile, Jake Ferguson was held without a catch and saw just one target. For the record, we had him on the "Sit List" last […]

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), and Marvin Harrison Jr. are all […]

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 continue […]

I hope the fantasy season is treating you well. But considering what fantasy managers are dealing with as we enter Week 8, the process seems more complicated than it needs to be. In this week's start 'em and sit 'em, we will explore more debatable options that are being presented to fantasy managers who may […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Looking at the overall landscape of the wide receiver position for fantasy, we have a refreshing mix of players we expected to be there, along with some late-round draft values that have shown promise in terms of sustainability through the first five weeks of the season. Each week, we have seen some impressive performances from […]

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. The bar is set, and it's only the beginning. Every week, we break down which quarterbacks you should look at starting, which ones should […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. With two of the top five generous defenses against the tight end position on bye this week, you may have […]

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 […]
