Jameson Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Wide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 18 (2024)

If you are reading this column, we need to talk with your league commissioner. It's hard to believe we are finally here, Week 18 of the NFL season. Many championships have already been won. However, for the few, the proud, and the fantasy degenerate, we are still seeking fantasy football glory.  Week 18 isn't just […]

Davante Adams - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Wide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

It was the night before the fantasy championship, and all through the house, not a manager was stirring, not even the one that sends bad trade offers. The cleats were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that Justin Jefferson and a trophy would soon be there. Perhaps the greatest gift of all is […]


Chig Okonkwo - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

Many fantasy managers found themselves at a positional disadvantage in their fantasy semi-final matchups if they had Travis Kelce, Trey McBride, Dalton Kincaid, or T.J. Hockenson in their starting lineups. I am here to ensure we avoid putting ourselves at a disadvantage, once again, when it matters the most: the Fantasy Championship. Back in August, […]


Rico Dowdle - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

We made ourselves a fantasy roster. One that was as perfect as could be. We thought it would be easy, at least that is what some told me. Throughout the season, many things have changed, and our once-perfect roster has now seen plenty of players exchanged.  The 2025 season has been a challenge, with the running […]


Anthony Richardson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Quarterback (QB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

Week 16 saw some pretty good quarterback play as fantasy managers looked to punch a ticket to the fantasy championship. Heading into Sunday Night Football, 15 quarterbacks have already produced 21 or more fantasy points. Unfortunately, Jalen Hurts, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, and Tua Tagovailoa finished with fewer than 15 fantasy points on the day. […]

Jared Goff - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Quarterback (QB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 16 (2024)

In Week 14, three quarterbacks posted 30 or more fantasy points. Heading into Monday Night Football and the conclusion of Week 15, Jared Goff (50), Lamar Jackson (45), Josh Allen (44), Baker Mayfield (35), Aaron Rodgers (35), and Jalen Hurts (31) all hit the mark as quarterbacks put on a show. We got some incredible […]


Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 16 (2024)

Another week is in the books, and we continue to inch closer to a Laquan Jones blonde dye job. That's right, Jonnu Smith dropped another 19 fantasy points and another top-5 fantasy week. The Miami tight end is currently sitting at 179.9 fantasy points (12.9 FPPG), which has him 15 points clear of TE5 Travis […]


Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Wide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 16 (2024)

Christmas is coming early this year. The Broncos and Chargers kick off Week 16 on Thursday night, followed by a doubleheader on Saturday featuring contests between the Chiefs and Texans and the Steelers and Ravens. Now, for your weekly Mike Evans update. Evans not only dropped 36.9 fantasy points on Sunday but also caught nine […]


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

Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 16 (2024)

I may be crazy, but I'm no ordinary fool. Right now, with a fantasy championship birth on the line, there is no back I'd rather have in my fantasy lineup than Chase Brown. That includes Saquon Barkley. There's no way Joe Burrow is going to try the "Tush Push." Brown and Barkley, for that matter, […]

Pat Freiermuth - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 15 (2024)

If you have made it this far, you are likely secure at the tight-end position. In Week 14, George Kittle, David Njoku, Trey McBride, and Jonnu Smith extended the gap between them and the field of streaming options.  Brock Bowers and Travis Kelce will also be included with the previously mentioned names despite a Week […]


Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Wide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 15 (2024)

Here's your weekly Mike Evans update, and it could be better. On Sunday, Evans hauled four of his five targets for 69 yards. With those 69 yards, Evans pushes his 2024 total to 590 yards, leaving him 410 receiving yards shy of his 11th consecutive 1,000-yard season to begin his career. If Evans is to […]


Brian Robinson Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings Running Backs, Waiver Wire Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 15 (2024)

We enter the fantasy playoffs yearly with more questions than answers at the running back position. For example, what do we do with Zach Charbonnet if Kenneth Walker III returns this week? What about Isaac Guerendo, who exited late in last Sunday's contest with a possible midfoot sprain? With an opportunity to advance, could Israel […]


Brock Purdy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Quarterback (QB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 15 (2024)

If you are reading this, you may have made it to your fantasy playoffs. Once you get in, anything can happen.

Pat Freiermuth - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 14 (2024)

We learned a few things back in Week 13. One, wherever you have Brock Bowers ranked, it needs to be higher. Second, Taysom Hill suffered what is feared to be a season-ending knee injury, which further complicates matters this week. Third, Jonnu Smith is legit, and I can't wait to see our very own LaQuan […]


DeAndre Hopkins - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Wide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 14 (2024)

As long as I am allowed to create content, I am officially on Mike Evans watch. In Week 13, Evans would finish with 118 receiving yards on eight receptions, keeping his 11th straight 1,000-yard season within reach. With five games remaining, Evans is currently sitting on 521 yards, 479 yards shy of keeping the streak […]


Kyren Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 14 (2024)

For many, the fantasy playoffs are on the line this week. Win, and you are in; lose, and it's time to face reality and plan for next year. The problem facing many managers with their seasons on the line is six teams are on a bye this week. Back in August, Week 14 byes didn't […]


Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Quarterback (QB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 14 (2024)

The fantasy season is a grind. For many managers, it all comes down to Week 14 of the NFL season, especially those with championship aspirations. Once you punch that ticket to the postseason dance, anything can happen, but first, you have to win to get in. Heading into Week 14, many managers will be looking […]

Taysom Hill - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13 (2024)

Another week has come and gone, and fantasy managers are one week closer to the fantasy playoffs. As we all predicted back in Week 1, Noah Gray has taken over as the top tight end in Kansas City. Okay, I kid, but he's now posted back-to-back weeks with a pair of scores. Chigoziem Okonkwo gave […]


WR Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13 (2024)

With six weeks left in the NFL season, one record I am keeping a close eye on is Mike Evans' consecutive 1000-yard mark. Right now, the streak is in real jeopardy. Heading into Week 13, Evans is sitting at 403 receiving yards on the season. That means Evans would require 597 receiving yards over the […]
