8 Fantasy Football Sleepers to Target in Drafts - Breakout Candidates at WR, RB, QB (2025)

Last season at this time, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was drafted in the eighth round or later in most fantasy drafts. He ended up gaining 1,350 yards from scrimmage while scoring 11 touchdowns, finishing as the RB10. We’re all looking for the next sleeper to help us win our leagues this year. Will […]

8 Fantasy Football Second-Year Breakouts: Sophomore Risers at WR, RB, and QB for 2025

Identifying breakout players is key to winning your fantasy football league. Every year, some unexpected players pop up and deliver spectacular results that help win leagues. Last season, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba nearly doubled his yardage from 628 yards to 1,130. Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had a breakout during the second half […]

First-Round Fantasy Football Draft Picks to Avoid: 3 Overvalued Players (2025)

Fantasy football drafts are underway, and the mistakes you make now will haunt you for the rest of the year. At this time in 2024, people drafted Christian McCaffrey No. 1 overall in most drafts. After getting four mediocre games out of CMC, 97% of those who rostered him in ESPN fantasy leagues missed the […]

5 Rookie Running Back Sleepers: Undervalued RBs to Target and Draft

Sleeper running backs can make a big impact in fantasy football even if they lack draft capital. Last season, fourth-round pick Bucky Irving and fifth-rounder Tyrone Tracy Jr. both finished as top-26 running backs. Twenty-five running backs were drafted in this year’s extremely strong draft class. While the big names are getting the most attention, […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Mock Draft For Dynasty Leagues: 12 Team, Single-QB (Post-NFL Draft)

As the 2025 NFL Draft ended, fantasy football managers are getting started jumping into mock drafts and rookie drafts in their dynasty leagues. There’s a clear consensus at No. 1. Everyone is taking Ashton Jeanty. The top four picks are all pretty much a consensus: Omarion Hampton, Tetairoa McMillan, and Travis Hunter in this order, […]

2025 NFL Draft Winners - 13 Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers at All Positions

The NFL Draft sends shockwaves through the dynasty fantasy football landscape. If too much new competition for targets and carries comes in, the value of your players could tank. But if a better supporting cast steps up alongside your guy, they could rise significantly. In this year's NFL Draft, we saw a little bit of […]

Wide Receiver Free Agency Risers, Fallers: Fantasy Football Outlooks (2025)

The 2025 NFL free-agent receiver market looked like the 2021 fantasy football leaderboard. Former triple crown winner Cooper Kupp, perennial top-5 finisher Davante Adams, and playmakers Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins all changed teams. Seattle’s longtime duo of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are both gone. The one star receiver still in his prime who […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Price Check - Brian Robinson Jr. 2025 Outlook

As a rookie, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. was one of the inspiring stories of the 2022 NFL season. Despite being shot twice in the lower body during a robbery, Robinson recovered to make his debut in Week 5 and rushed for nearly 800 yards. Robinson's fantasy ceiling was limited as a rookie […]

In Week 16, Kenny Moore made two interceptions, Taron Johnson and Marlon Humphrey both had a pick-six, and Joseph Ossai, one of my waiver-wire picks, was one of four Bengals to make a sack against the Cleveland Browns. In Week 17, I have more players who are sure to sack Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson on […]

If you faced Josh Allen (362 yards, four totals touchdowns) or Jared Goff (494 yards, five touchdowns) this week, or worse, both, then you might not be interested in reading this column, as you probably don’t have anything to play for in Week 16. That is unless you started Derek Stingley (two interceptions), T.J. Watt […]

There’ll be scary ghost stories haunting Chiefs opponents. And Jameis Winston making angels out in the snow. And tales of the glories of fantasy playoffs long, long ago. It’s the most wonderful time of the year -- no more byes. There are four weeks to decide NFL playoff berths and fantasy championships. To help you […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 14 (2024)

In Week 13, we saw a revenge game for Seattle’s Leonard Williams against the New York Jets; Chargers rookie Tarheeb Still humiliating an old man in Atlanta, as he accounted for two of Kirk Cousins’ four interceptions; and T.J. Watt doing his part to help the Steelers defeat the Bengals, with two sacks and a […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 13 (2024)

Are you one of the fantasy managers who plays in a league whose playoffs begin in Week 13 or Week 14? Did you complain to your manager that teams are on bye in Week 14? Don’t complain. Read this column instead. In Week 12, I had to suffer through sack leader Trey Hendrickson sitting on […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 12 (2024)

Kwity Paye came up big in the Indianapolis Colts’ comeback win over the New York Jets in Week 11, making seven tackles, two sacks, and forcing a fumble. With their second straight loss, the Jets fell to 3-8, tied for last place in the AFC East and in position to draft a QB. Alas, there […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 11 (2024)

The usual names are absent from the leaderboard for sacks. T.J. Watt, who led the league in sacks in two of the past three seasons, is only No. 12 this season. Maxx Crosby is tied with Watt with 6.5 sacks. Nick Bosa is barely hanging onto the top twenty with just 5.5 sacks in 2024. […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9 (2024)

T.J. Watt showed on Monday Night Football what an individual defensive player (IDP) can do for you. Making seven tackles and two sacks, including a strip sack that killed a late fourth-quarter Giants drive, Watt helped many fantasy managers come from behind to win. I can’t guarantee you’ll get the same kind of production from […]

Fantasy football managers who hate bye weeks, rejoice. There are no teams on bye in Week 8!

Here are 11 linebackers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs to add for Week […]

Headed into Week 7, fantasy IDP managers are reeling from injuries that occurred this past weekend. Injured defensive stars include Cardinals LB Kyzir White, Falcons S Justin Simmons, Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II, and Commanders DLs Dorance Armstrong and Jonathan Allen. The biggest hit will be to managers starting Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson, who looks […]

Trey Sermon Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon caught six passes last week and put in a top-ten weekly performance in PPR leagues. Fantasy managers who picked him up off the waiver wire are hoping he will have a prominent role again in Week 6, but an injury revealed on the practice report could keep him out […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 5 (2024)

Bye weeks are upon us. In Week 5, fantasy managers will be without Aidan Hutchinson and his Lions teammates, Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa of the Chargers, Eagles' breakout linebacker Zack Baun, and Titans' star pass rusher Harold Landry. Who should you add to your IDP fantasy football team to fill in for those on […]

Week 3 of fantasy and gaming hit like a nuclear bomb with upsets bringing down the 49ers, Browns, and Raiders. The Bengals' loss to the Commanders brought down the last remaining contestants. At least Trey Hendrickson made another sack even if the rest of his defense didn't do anything. Along with Hendrickson, here are a […]

It's only two weeks into the season, and already entire teams are being decimated by injuries. IDP stars like Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr., or Bills linebacker Matt Milano haven't even seen the field yet. In Week 2, a slew of injuries hit, including Jets' edge Jermaine […]

Joe Burrow - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 18+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB17 ANALYSIS: Joe Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League, but a tough matchup combined with a lack of cohesion for the Cincinnati Bengals early in the season makes him a sub-optimal choice at starting QB in Week 2. The Bengals […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE15 ANALYSIS: Juwan Johnson emerged as the New Orleans Saints' primary receiving tight end in 2022 when he caught 42 passes for 508 yards and seven touchdowns. Last season, his production decreased. In Week 1, Johnson was only the fourth-leading Saints' receiving target. He had just […]


IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 2 (2024)

The first week of NFL football was everything we hoped it would be. There was pregame drama, comeback victories, games decided by inches, and overtime thrillers. There were also surprises, lineup changes, and injuries that shattered our Week 1 expectations. As we try to recover and fix our lineups for Week 2, here are my […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Defensive Streamers for Week 1 (2024)

This preseason has given us hints about how some teams might deploy their defenses, hints that could help us make last-minute waiver wire adds in IDP fantasy football before the season starts. There are still some unanswered questions. When the Rams traded their leading tackler, Ernest Jones IV, to the Titans for just a 2026 […]

Should I Draft Chuba Hubbard or Miles Sanders for Fantasy Football? Who Is The Panthers RB1 for 2024?

The Carolina Panthers made Jonathon Brooks the first running back off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft, but they already had two running backs with starting experience in Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders. Sanders made the 2022 Pro Bowl, but Hubbard is younger and came on strong last season. Brooks ran for 1,139 yards […]

Will Puka Nacua Play in Week 1? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua set the rookie records for receptions and receiving yards, and there was a lot of excitement about his prospects going into this season. The Rams have a young team with many stars on the rise. They are set to open the season against another young team with a […]

Jahan Dotson Traded to Eagles - Fantasy Football Impact and Outlook

Former Penn State receiver Jahan Dotson has been traded from the Washington Commanders to the Philadelphia Eagles. Dotson was drafted No. 16 overall in 2022, but he has been disappointing so far both in terms of fantasy production and real-life value added. He will look for a fresh start on his former team's division rival. […]
